tst. Louis Republican,

WASHINGTON, March 22,-The Senate to-
day was the scene OF disgraceful exhibi.
tion. The Kellogg case was called up and

then Kellogg took the floor, oetensibly In his

attack on Senator Hill.
It was most extraordinary scene, such
thing as has never been known-ae Kellogg
spoke with q coarseness and vulgartty rarely
heard outside OF the bar-rOom. He called
names, he initiated the dialect Of negro wit

a particularly dirty scandal which is filing
the columns Of some newspapers. His Re
publican colleagues heard him with pain and

A BABY ELEPHANT.
Said to be the First that was Ever Born In a
State Of Captivity.

Said to be the First that WAS Ever Born In
State Of Captivity.
Philadelphia, March 10.-The LondoI
Circus, in winter quarters at Twenty
third street and Ridge avenue, had an
addition this morning. Hebe, the great
black Asatic elephant, gave birth to g
babe. 1t is a queer looking little thing
about the size of Newfoundland dog
with diminutive trunk, but is active
and lively. Hebe stood chained to q
post this afternoon, and six other ele-
plants looked at her and the baby ele
phant in astonishment. There was a
lively scene after the new Comer's arrival
in the early morning hours. The big
elephants set up tremendous roar,
threw their trunks aloft, reared up, and
swayed about in great excitement. The
keeper who was in the stable al the
time says that Hebe broke her chain,
seized the little fellow with her trunk,
aud threw it twenty yards across the
room. The keeper ran for his life, and
the elephant charged a stove in the
stable, and almost demolished it. The
keeper gave the alarm, and in short
time the animal was secured, and again
chained to her post.
The mother would not stand still long
enough to suckle her babe, and this sf-
ternoon the keepers were nursing it in a
novel way. They procured q funnel and
a rubber tube. Inserting the tube in the
baby elephants mouth, they fed it by
milking into the other end. Hebe ia 20
years old and is fine specimen of Asi-
attic elephant. Mandri, the sire, is 25
years DID,. The baby weighs 214 pounds
and is a female. The birth sets at rest
the long.held theory that the elephant
female will not bear young while in q
captive state, and this event has been
looked forward to with interest, a ply
sician having pronounced Hebe with
foal twenty months ago.

A RUSSIAN ROBBERY.

The robbery at the Imperial Bank at
Kherson, Russia, in June last, was one
of the most audacious things in the rec.
ords of crime. Later developments in
the case, as given in the foreign mails,
show that the sum stolen amounted to
nearly $1000,000, and that the robbery
was committed under the direction of
an engineer named Saschka, son of a
general in the Russian army who had
hired house opposite the bank and
driven tunnel underneath the street
into the cellars of the bank. The en-
trance was effected on Sunday, when
the bank was closed, so that the robbery
was not discovered until the next day,
1t was at once taken for granted that the
Nihilists wsre concerned in the robbery,
as the money taken all belonged to the
State, while several large deposits by
private persons remained untouched
The researches of the police in the viii
lagos around Kherson resulted in the
discovery of the greater part of the
money, which was concealed in cot.
tage, and in the arrest Of fifteen persons
suspected of completely in the robbery,
though Saschka himself who is believed
to have had hand in the recent attempt
to blow up the Czar's train near Moscow,
has not since been heard Of. These per-
sons, who were recently brought before
the Court-martial sitting at Odessa, COM
prised the Baroness Vitten and three
young ladies of good family, who were
described as having been the instru.
ments of Saschks, several other women,
and about twelve tradesmen and peas
ants. The accused who made no at
tempt to deny the charge, Indignantly
repudiated having been actuated by
mercenary motives, declaring that they
were engaged in political work. The
Baroness Vitten was sentenced to penal
servitude for life, and ten of the others
to the same punishment for terms rang
ing from four to fifteen years.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CoNvEN-
TION.

The National Democratic Committee,
having met in Washington on the 23d
of February, 1880, has appointed Tues
day, che 22d day of June, at noon, as the
time, and chosen Cincinnati as the place
of holding the National Democratic con-
vention. Each State is entitled to a rep
resentation therein equal to double the
number of it's Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress. All Democratic, Con-
servative and other citizens of the Unit
ed States, irrespective of past political
associations and differences, who can
unite with us in an effort for pure and
economical constitutional government,
are cordially invited to join in sending
delegates to the convention. AT the last
national Democratic convention held at
St. Louis, in 1876, the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
Resolved, That States be requested to instruct
their delegates to the National Democratic Con-
yention to be held In $780, whether 1t be desirable
to continue the two.thirds rule longer in force IN
the National Convention, and that the National
Committee insert such request In the call for the
next convention,
