SOteIdO'S History.

A ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The central
figure, Soteldo, of the late riot in the
Republican office has been the absor-
bing topic at the capital since the mur-
der. His biography is as follows:
'He is native of Venezuela, and is
regarded as a mar of strong passions
and extremely VII .ctive disposition by
those who know him. He was at one
time employed in the New York Sun,
from which paper he was discharged
by Mr.. Dana, after a bitter quarrel.
Subsequently he threatened to shoot
Dana, and for some time that gentle
man lived in constant apprehensions of
bodily harm from Soteldo.
His career here began as managing
editor of the Republican under Mr. Will
liam G. Murtagh, the same position
Mr.. Barton now fills. His journalistic
career was marked by fierce raid
upon the gamblers of this city, which
was kept up through the local columns
of the Republican for several weeks. He
was next employed as the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, the Indianapolis Journal, the San
Francisco Chronicle and the short-lived
Baltimore Times.
He is still engaged in this line, and
is also clerk of the Senate Committee
on Railroads.
Soteldo's wife is in Ohio. He mar
ried daughter of john Clements, a
very rich railroad man and contractor
in Cincinnati. His brother-in-law is
Mr.. H. NJ. Clements, who formerly kept
the Lindell Hotel In St. Louis, and now
keeps the Clarendon Hotel in Sara
toga."

A Land Agents Story.

A pretty good story is told about
Land Agent Miner, of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, who one
day had a party of eastern farmers in
tow, trying to sell each of them farm
in the rich Arkansas Valley. Milner
had taken them into his light wagon,
and behind his spanking team of bays
had given them a fine ride, lasting all
day He had done his best to make
them enthusiastic by rehearslng the
stories, which lie mad at his tongues
end, of the marvellous crops of the val
ley, but to all intents it was cloves
labor lost" for they would not 'thuse.
This annoyed Miner, but he had his
revenge in his reply to one Of the par
ty, who, with sardonio smile asked:
"Well, Mr.. Agent, is there anything
that won't grow here?"
"Yes," replied Miner, pumpkins
WON'T
"What exclaimed the cynical
land buyers together, pumpkins
wont?"
mo-" said Miner, There is men in
this county who would give $3.50 an acre
for land that would mature crop OF
pumpkins. They never have been able
to get a crop since I've been here, and
that's ten years"
"Well, how strange Why is it 3"
asked land buyer No. 1.
This was Miners chance, and with a
serious expression, he replied: "Well,
sir, the soil is so rich and the vines
grow so fast that they wear the pump
kins out dragging them over the
ground. ."-F. S. Presbery IN Kansas

An Interesting Case.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR's PARDoN-DooMET
TO DEATH BY A CONSULAR COURT.

PRESIDENT ARTHURS PARDoN-DooMED
TO DEATH BY CONSULAR COURT.
WASHINGTON Feb. 14.-An interest
ing, novel, and important case has just
been concluded by President Arthur in
the issuance of pardon to James
Webb, who had been convicted and
sentenced by a United States consular
court at Nagasaki, Japan. to be hanged
for murder. 1t will be perceived that,
irrespective of the details of the crime,
the case is singular and exceedingly
important. The consideration of this
matter was the immediate cause of a
paragraph in the presidents annual
message. In drunken row, December
/, 1878, James Webb, who was a sea-
man on the United States steamer,
Ranger, stabbed Constantine Kashine,
warrant officer of the Russian naval
steamer, Crayser, then in the port of
Nagasaki, Japan. Three days after
ward Kashine died from the effects of
tho wound inflicted by Webb. The lat.
ter was arrested and tried before Willie
P. Mangum, United States consul, with
| four " assessors" sitting as consular
court, in pursuance of our treaty with
Japan and the extra-territorial laws
passed by congress in 1860.
ALTHOUGH THE PRISONER WEBB,
was sentenced to be hanged, the evi-
| dence clearly showed that the legal
elements of the crime of murder in the
first degree were wanting, and that
Webb's crime was manslaughter.

THR Ex-PRE,lIER's POLICY AND AMBTTIo.

THE EX-PRENIIER'S POLICY AND AMBITION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14--Shortly after
the accession of General Garfield to the
presidency, and before Mr.. Blaine, as
head of the department of state, began
to attract attention by the evidences OF
a vigorous foreign policy. If was stated
In these dispatches, on the authority OF
a gentleman who Was a member of the
foreign affairs committee of the house
In the forty-sixth congress, that this
policy comprehended grand confed-
Grafton of Central American states
under the protection of the United
States government. The recent
disclosure of Blaine's attempt
to secure a peace congress OF
three states to be held at Washington,
while it corroborates this statement, Is
explained by it. It was a part of
BIaine's plan to secure the presidential
nomination In 1884, and-in playing this
card he seems to have calculated on a
feeling which does not find home In
the breasts of very large percentage
Of the American people, lust FOR
power and the extension OF territory.
Grant planned for his election to the
presidency In 1880, IN the event of his
securing the nomination at Chicago, BY
pandering to This feeling but he sought
to stir ]. up In the only place it exists
