Adininistration and Senate. The indications point to another con- flict between the administration and the senate. Although very little has been suid by senators as to what may happen regarding coming events that will call for the “advice and consent” of the sen- ate. what has been said is sufficient to indicate that the republican majority onths, WAay Ber, malled to sy ar V1o o b, i se it | will be very likely to make issue with wa: WASURGTON OFFicr, NG, 305 T0UR | (ho ndministration on at least two mat- CORUBRTONDENCR ters of very great importance.

Mr. Cleveland would not refuse him anything in the gift of the president. There is evidently afriendship between them that is fraternal in its warmth. On the part of the president this very likely grows out of admiration for the superior intellectual acquirements of Mr. Lamar, while on the part of the lat- ter gratitude is probably the fountain of his veciprocal friendship for the pres- ident. But Mr. Cleveland cannot put Mr. Lamar in the position he desires without the consentof the senate.

What he has suid in dey tion of these amendments is beirg carefully looked up, and a good deal has already heen made public. Much of this is not calenlated to inspire confidence that Mr. Lamar would be an unprejudiced interpreter of the consti- tution as itis. It is. therefore, much more than probable that if nominated to the supreme hench Mr. Lamar will encounter the united opposition of the republicans in the senate. 1t is believed to be very certain, also, that the action of the administration in creating the fisheries commission will be vigorously condemned by most of the republican senators, and it is thought not unlikely that they will stand to- gether in refusing to give the advice. ind consent necessary to make this pro- ers of Omaha needed somebody in the council to represent their int “@he contractors well taken ¢ by the ¢! , of Minnesota, says rk for a reduction of the taviff during this session of cony Minne sota republicans have time and aga o pronounced in favor of radical tariff re- form.

The area, how- ever, consisted almost entirely of v able mineral lands, for which the gov- ernment received only one dollar and twenty-five conts an acre. The names of the alleged pre-emptors were wholly fictitious. After a few years the lands were conveyed by the alleged pre-emp- tors through William S.

A Young Man Who Falls a Mile Through Space Unharmed—The Startling Performances of Thomas 8, Baldwin, Philadelphia Times: A novelty has been supplied to the lovers of excite- ment. Whether it falls under the head of wronautics, gymnastics, or simply daring. does not seem ensy to determine. involves all three, although the man who supplies the novelty is as cool as if he were folding a napkin., A young fellow, twenty-seven yearsof age, ascends by means of a balloon some: times as high as 5,000 fect, throws him- self over from the basket and drops to the ground. Happily he is assisted by a parachute, or else he would not have dropped but once, and that once would have been 100 often. Thomas $. Baldwin, of Quiney, Tll., is the nume of the young man. He trav- eled for several years with a circus as a professional gymnast, then took to tight-rope walking, and finally to bal- looning. His first jump from a balloon was made in January of this year at San Francisco. He jumped from a height of 1.000 feet. This was enough to thrill 25,000 people; but it was only the mod- est beginning. At Syracuse in Septem- last he had attained an elevation of M0 feet before he switched off on the parachute route. **What led you into this hazardous kind of feat?” was asked Mr. Buldwin a ago. yTamfond of things that are I have been a gymnast per- Tur wine makers of California will ask congress for legislation to stop spur- ious productions and 10 permit the growers of that state to fortify their sweet wines with wine spirits, free from internal revenue duties. There has been o great deal of hostility aroused within the past year or two between the wine growers of California and Ohio, those of the former state claiming that the wine product of Ohio is uniformly impure, being largely “*doctored.” The professed purpose of the Californians in seeking legislation to stop spurious productions is to free the market more particulurly of the doctored Ohio pro- duet, though of course impure wines are by no means confined to that state, nor are all Ohio wines spurious. There can be no reasonable objection tosuch legis- Tation as this, if it can be shown to be necessary in order to prevent imposi- tion, but the California wine growers may expect to encounter no little oppo- sition from the manufacturers of dec ] e 7 for some time, and also o tight- tions which they call' wine; Undoubt Towa Items. vope walker, 1 was very much inter- cdly the country is flooded with alleged | oy Noines hus put up a new cage for [ ested in ballooning, and ae- wines which analysis would show to con- | high flying “burds.” counts which T read of several descents tain not a drop of the juice of the grape. | The erection of o new Catholic chureh, | from them by means of parachutes took All such products are deleterions, and | to cost $1,200, has been begun at Harlan, | M "ft'""g<( A } "{"1"'“"" L:i',‘ 1“ fl'} ! : : rvight. but an Englishman tried & legislation that would get rid of them | The people of Sheldon are praying for | bkre P, utt Englishman tried and would certainly h}! a good thing. lF’m' the extermination of the Salvation | joachute sollapsed. | gave the mat- this reason the wine growers of Califor- | army LT ter a good deal of thought, trying to nin are to be commended for thei The bed of the Mississippi work out the thing.
