aos substantially maintained Yesterdays cast of the

W. G. Gresham. of Indiana 1t is believed IN
various well.informed quarters that leaving the

Postmaster -Geaeral-THoMAs L. JAMES,

The above is given as the result OF
the best Judgment THE TRIBUNE's correspondents
have been able to form on the mass of rumors
and conflicting evidence in even the best informed
ouarters. Some details of the current gosslp NAV
be added.
II is reasonably certain that Window was dropped
two days ago. that Allison was transferred
from tie Interior, which he would not take
to the Treasury. which he would, and that
this led to the more serious consideration OF
James for Postmaster-General If Allison
went into the Treasury, it was argued that
the Conkling and Grant side should have the
department next in patronage and influence and
that James was q fit and proper representative
of that side, as strong and as popular
in his way as Allison. Mr.. James reached
Washing gton on the morning train and went back in
the afternoon.

o'clock today at which hour not more than dozen
Senators were in their seats The corridors and ap-
proaches to the chamber were well filled with
moving throng of strangers and the clustered heads
of large crowds could be through the glass
panels of the doors of the Senate galleries awaiting
the moment when they might enter and occupy the
seats When at last the doors opened, and the
multitude had surged in filling all the seats, other
multitudes took their places outside the
doors and awaited with such patience
as they could command the chance exit of the more
fortunate ones within whose curiosity had been sat-
isied SO they waited in undlmnsled numbers
throughout the afternoon, standing in long lines
single file at some doors and masscd thickly to-
gether at others.
The proceedings were dul,, but this made no dlf-
ference to the spectators from distance; for here
in their presence were the men OF whom they had
read and whose words and actions were subjects OF
daily comment in all quarters of the land. The
morning hour was gwen up TO the calendar. and at
its close not more than adozen House bills remained

What q Big Man Am L!

The Devasted Island Chic.

The Island of Chic (also spelled
Scio and Khio, and in Attic Greek
Chios), which the cable tells US has been
devastated by an earthquake, is one OF
the loveliest and most fertile of the
Egean Archipelago, and at the same
time an island of perhaps unsurpassed
interest to the historian and the scholar.
It lies off the Gulf of Smyrna, and is 11O
miles in circuit. Its length from north
to south is about thirty-two miles, its
greatest breadth about eighteen, and
the width of the strait which divides it
from the mainland is about eight miles.
Its first inhabitants were Ionians, who
colonized it at the time of the great mi.
grafton, at or about 1000 B. c.. Chic
became an important member of the
Ionian league, and remained an indie.
pendent and powerful maritime State,
under q democratic form of govern
ment, until the great naval defeat of the
Ionian Greeks by the Persians, 494 B. c.,
after which the Chians, who had taken
part in the fight with 100 ships, were
subjected to the Persians, their island
was laid waste and their young women
carried off into slavery. The battle OF
Mycale, 479 B. c., freed Chios from the
Persian yoke, and it became member
of the Athenian league, in which it was
for long time the closest and most ia
vored ally of Athens; but an unsuccess-
full attempt to revolt, in 412, led to its
conquest and devastation. In 358, with
Cos and Rhodes, it recovered its indie
pendence and afterward shared the for.
tune of the other States of Ionia. Twice
during the Christian era has the island
been the scene of rapine by the Turks,
in the early part of the fourteenth cen
fury and again in 1922. The popula.
ton of the island at the time of the lat.
ter invasion was about 1870, 600, and his.
tory records no more dreadful massacre
than that which ensued. The Moslems
put to death a majority of the inhabit-
ants and made slaves of the remainder.
This was in consequence of the islanders
having yielded to the entreaties of the
Samians and joined in the struggle for
Greek independence. The present pop.
ulation is about $4,000. The island is
covered with rocky mountains, clothed
with the richest vegetation, and has al.
ways been celebrated for its wine, figs.
lemons, oranges, gum-mastic, and other
natural products; also for its marble and
pottery, and for the beauty of its WON.
en-, and the luxurious life of its inhabit.
ants. OF all the States which aspired tc
the honor of being the birthplace OF
Homer, Chios (alone, with any plausi.
bility, says DR.. Smith), contested the
claim with Smyrna, and it numbered
among its undisputed natives the TRACE.

A Difference in Pronunciation that
Cost q County $500.

A few weeks ago, in Pittsburg, Pa.
and before Judge Kirkpatrick, a case
was tried in which a farmer living in
| one of the outlying townships was the
plaintiff and the county the defendant.
Some time ago, as little daughter of the
plaintiff was crossing the creek, foot
log, which was the only bridge, broke,
and the little one fell into the water and
was drowned. A suit for damages was
instituted, but it did not come up for
trial until few weeks ago, when the
jury awarded the plaintiff damages in
the sum of $500. A little story in con-
nection with this verdict has just leaked
out, which, if it is true, and it was re-
lated to the reporter by a reliable gen.
tleman, will have tendency to con-
vince most people that only the most
cultured jurors should be selected to sit
in court presided over by Judge of
such eminent culture as his Honor,
Kirkpatrick.
d. r. Watson, ESQ.,, was counsel for
the defendant, and in his address to the
jury stated that eff the plaintiff knew
the route (pronouncing the word rout)
over which the child crossed the creek
was dangerous, and had not sent her
over another route, the county could not
be held responsible for any damages
which might ensue." This evidently
struck Judge Kirkpatrick as being pref
ty sound logic, for in his charge to the
jury he repeated the statement. Unfor-
tunately for the county, however, the
Judge in this instance adopted the pro-
nunciation for the word route preferred
by great many men of culture (Which
is quite correct), and informed the jury
that g if the plaintiff knew the route
(root) was dangerous, etc., the county
could not be held responsible. The
jury retired, and, much to the surprise
of all the attorneys who had watched
the case, soon brought in verdict of
$500 for the plaintiff.
A few days afterward w. D. Moore,
Esq, happened to meet one of the jury
men in the Courthouse rotunda, and
almost the first question asked was:
How in the world did you jurymen
reconcile your verdict with the Judges
charger
"Why," responded the juror, tive
had no trouble on that score. The
Judge informed US that if the plaintiff
knew the root was dangerous, the county
was not liable. Now, all of us knew it
was not a root which broke and caused
the Cnliu ueaGH, Dut FOtteH 10y. anu
we could not return a different verdict"
It is not known whether Mr.. Moore
informed the uncultured juror of the
fact that the proper pronunciation of the
word "route'' was either trout or
"root," but at all events, those who
have been made acquainted with the
circumstance enjoy it hugely, and al
lege (whether seriously or not is not
stately that Judge Kirkpatrick's pro-
nunciation cost the county $500.
