The future of international law has had a mar
row escape. Here ID an account Of the armament
which Mr.. Wells bore into the committee room,
communicated by an innocent individual who
acts as correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun:
"Wken MIR. Wells came here in the custody OF
the Sergeant at Arms OF the House he brought
in his trunk several pistols and one of the histo-
rio deadly hug kpives. This afternoon when he
went to the committee room he secreted on h g
person q revolver and carried in his hand his
r'he cane, and il ia believed that he also had on
his person the Thug knife. This was not aus
peoted until the threstening demonstration made
by Mr.. Wells when Mr.. Field finally succeeded in
bringing him TO bay. 1t is said that Mr. Wells
has slain three men in the course oil his life, two
Of whom were coored men. It ia not difficult 20
conceive that man capable of the crimes which
he has committed against the State would have
no hesitation in adding murder to his other enor-
mites. AS matter of precaution, proper and
necessary, the sergeant-at-Ar OF the House
will tomorrow deprive this bad man of the dead.

Tho New Police Athletic club.

We are pleased to hear that the police, in
response to our recent suggestion Of the ur-
gent need of some simple and effective sys-
tenn of athletics which shall make them
equal to their often dangerous duties. have
already organized q ''Police Athletic Club"
with the we'll known Captain Williams at
its head and Captain Saunders as Vice Presi-
dent, while they have fortunately secured
tho services of tho mighty Grinco-Roman
wrestler, Professor Miller as their mentor.
But what they want is not so much the burly
power of the latter and the ability to make
both shoulders of the burglar or other
desperate touch the ground at once. as
quickness and agility in the use of their
hands and feet. Thus the conviction
might DO soon established. especially

That there is ''dcath in the pot" cannot be
denied without insult to the poet and the
temperance orator, but that there is life in
the beer barrel has been conclusively proved
by q late sojourner upon Blackwells Island.
The shrewd knave bored air-holes in ono
head of lager keg, knocked out the other
end, placed his own head inside the keg and
himself in the river and swan and foated
away to liberty while the guardian Of the
Islands treasures probably gazed upon the
slow-gliding key with only tho sad reflection
that the picnic season had been inaugu-
rated somewhere up the river and the
exigencies Of the public service had
forbidden that he should be there to taste.
1t would be impcrtinencc to wonder how n
lager keg came to be upon tho Island atall, for
the known temperance principles of all the
city's employees make it certain that the key
was struggled over as o portion Of the abun-
dant baggage which convicts are always
allowed to carry to prison with them.
Hereafter the lager key will be the
emblem of sweet liberty, and when
the street cleaning officials determine
to do something without waiting for

among the dangerous classes, that police
officers are very ugly men to deal with.
The gentlemen in charge of the club
must see to it that the patrolmen. above
all Others, have every facility and
proper share of the benefit sure to come
from sensible and systematic work in such
club as this. They are the men who are
usually nearest the danger and in whose
hands we trust our lives and property. All
progress in this new direction will not only
increase their own self-respect, but the re-
spect of the public for them as well. Manage
this club we'll and it will not be long until
as it should-there will spring up in every
precinct similar organization, and then
all will begin to wonder why was not this
good thing started long ago. Captain Will
Jams and his companions have it in their
power to confer lasting benefit upon our
city, one sure to be taken up and copied in
every city where there is life and vigor in
the management Of the police, and happily,
too, so far as the present plan indicates,
without causing The city to incur one cent
of expense in support of the movement.

Who Will BE Speakers

There are naturally good many loose
speculations about the Speakership of the
next House, because there are a good many
persons DESTROYS of the place. The repub-
licans have had some hopes of being able to
elect o Speaker, and Mr.. Garfeld's friends
at one time professed to be confident that he
would be the man. 1t was urged on his be-
halt that the President desired him to be
chosen; but the President has never said SO.
He-has been careful not to interfere in such
matter, and if any republican could carry
off Southern democratic votes it is not Mr..
Garfield, who has never belonged to the
moderate or liberal wing of the republican
party, but Mr.. Foster, whose Louisiana re-
port in 1875 and his course since have won
him the esteem and confidence of Southern
men.
There are, however, no signs of any i'm
mediate break in the democratic ranks.
The democrats will be almost as numerous
as the republicans in the next Senate, and
may even have q slight majority. It is not
probable that with such strength in one
house they would easily give up the organ
ization Of the other to their opponents Mr.
Randall appears to have the greatest strength
among the democratic candidates; his
course, both while presiding in tho
House under extremely difficult cir
cumstances and in the selection of
committees, made him esteemed by the
leading men OF both parties and his re-
election to the Speakership is not only
probable but in every way desirable. His
influence on legislation was conspicuously
good. He was the opponent of all jobbery
and the admirable record of the last session,
in the matter of special and jobbing legisla-
ton, is due largely to his care and to his
obstinate and courageous opposition to
everything of this kind.
We notice that in one or two journals
General Banks is spoken of rs compromise
candidate but if there is to be fusion of
elements Mr.. Banks would be probably the
last man to be chosen as its representative,
because his course in the last House was not
Independent, but neutral, and his position,
when it was last known, was that of an OPP
ponent of the Presidents Southern policy.
