A Collision i'm the House-A Woman's
 Knowledge of Star Route Transactions
 --Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-It seems to be likely that there will be conflict of interests in the House on Tuesday next. Some days ago MT. Page, chairman of the Commerce committee, gave notice that he would call up February 7th the anti Chinese bill. To-day the chairman of the Census committee gave notice that he would call for action on the apportionment bill February 7th. Both bills are counted urgent by their respective cham pions and quite struggle is expected be- tween the two committees

 Secretary Hunt to-day ordered the body of Charles Duncan, killed at the navy yard re- gently, to be disinterred and directed Sur geon General Wales to make an autopsy, as neither the coroner's inquest or board ap- pointed anyone to investigate the matter or state the exact cause of death. The secreta- xl.a> z the Portsmouth have been fully exonerated, yet he will expose the blame should there be any.
 The House Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads have already under consideration the proposition to reduce letter postage to two cents for each half-ounce.

The committee have al- ready reported unanimously against the one cent rate proposed by W. E. Robinson. Christiancy's Confidential Note to Blaine
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Mr. Blaine sent the following telegram to MT. Christiancy to- day:
 WASHINGTON, D. O., February ?. Hon. Isaac P. Christiancy, Lansing, Mich. - Your first telegram was not understood oy me. Your confidential communication, of whose publication you complain, was ad- dressed to me as Secretary of State and re- lated wholly to public affairs. I had no right to remove it or destroy it. Its infor- nation was valuable to my successor as to myself. The files of the State department are full of equally confidential notes never intended for publication. Your note no doubt inadvertently was sent to the Senate by Mr. Frelinghuysen with the remainder of the Peru-Chili correspondence. regret the untoward event, but had no power to pre- vent it. l had not intended that your note should be included in the volume of my di- plomatic correspondence.

A Spanish Grandeo.

The Duke of 0Suna, whose death il
announced, was curious specimen of
an old-fashioned Spanish grandce. He
had about fifty titles, many of them being
historical. He was q singularly stupid
and singularly liberal man, being pos
sessed of vast estates He married a
German lady, but was with difficulty
prevented from running away on the dav
IF the ceremony. He always insisted
that the Empress Eugenie owed her
throne to him. rs the Emperor Napoleon
would never have married her had he
not feared that if he delayed she might
become Duchess of Osuna. For some
years he was Spanish Ambassador at ST.
Petersburg but he always refused to
iraw his salary, as to do SO was beneath
The dignity of an O,uns His notions of
hospitality were OF tho grandest. In
Madrid open house was kept in one of
his palaces, whether he was there or not.
One day lady told him that she was
going to some town in Spain. and, pre-
suming that he had palace there, he
begged her to use it; but, finding that he
was mistaken. he at once ordered one to
be bought and furnished. in order that
the invitation should stand good. 1t was
difficult TO praise anything in his pres
cnce. for he at once insisted upon the
person who praised it acceptingit. One
Of his estates in Spain was so large that
it supported band of robbers, who

ROAD in Camden, and is one-story
Dri"k building, the capacity of the mill
beng about two tons OF ground shells
per day. The shells are brought to the
factory in bags and deposited in the
roasting department. Here they are
carefully scraped and put in great revolv-
ing ovens, which are constantly turned
over beds of blazing Goals. Some of
the shells are roasted q light brown,
while others come out crisp and black.
After being carefully sorted, the dark
shells are put in hoppers in the grinding
department and reduced to fine powder
like pepper. The brown shells are not
ground SO fine, and come from the mill
looking exactly like ground coffee. The
Camden factory is said to have been ir
operation for a about a month. The
shells cost very little, and the milling is
done ut an expense of about 2 or "a
cents per pound.
A representative of leading spice
house, in speaking of this novel prepa-
ration, said that while his house had not
uscd it, he supposed it was harmless
adulteratlon for spices. "We have our
own methods of adulteration, said he,
sand sell to the trade probably more
adulterated goods than pure. We can't
help it. There is no pretense on our
part that the lower grades of spices are
pure. We simply sell the retailer what
Is wants. We sell them spices as low
Is eight and nine cents, but it is about
as much something else as it is pepper.
1t would ruin the trade to prohibit adul-
teration, and, besides, there are not
enough spices grown to supply the de-
mand of the United States alone, il
nothing but pure spices were sold. We
are constantly making experiments to
discover tho cheapest harmless foreign
matter with which we can make our
goods, in order to supply the demand
for low grades"
The powder made from ground cocoa
nut shells has a fine color, and on ac-
couns of its weight and appearance is
considered by spice manufacturers to
be choice adulterating material.-PhiIa-

A Midnight Sidewalk Marriage.

Mr.. Lee Hale and Miss Katie Morgan
had long loved each other, but the pa
rents of Miss Katie objected TO the union.
An elopement had been determined on,
and Sunday night was the time set.
The father and brothers of the young
lady by some means had got an inkling
of what was going on. and determined
to watch and wait developments. About
twelve O clock Sunday night. by the gas
Jets, the form of Mr.. Lee Hale was seen
approaching. A minister had been pro-
cured and, in company with a few
friends of the bridegroom, were standing
at a reasonable distance on the pave
ment. The unusual crowd on the street
attracted few policemen to the scene,
but as soon as it became known what
was in the wind no interference was
made. Miss Morgan, on the approach
of her lover, attempted TO leave the
house to join him. Her cruel father
and brothers caught hold of and at
tempted TO intercept her, but she
broke away from them and ran
to the head of the steps. BY
some unaccountable accident the
Young lady stumbled and fell headlong
down the steps. Fortunately she was
not INJURED further than few unimpor.
tant bruises on her body. Mr.. Hale stood
at the foot of the stairway and raising
the GIRL i'm his arms. assisted herto where
the minister and friends were standing.
Everything being in readiness, they were
united in marriage in less than three
minutes All the high contracting par
ties stand well socially. Chattanooga

WE hear that the Council have under
consideration an ordinance to establish a
closing hour for saloons. We think it a
very wise and necessary move, as much OF
the rowdyism and drunkenness so preju-
dicial to good order, takes place after
business houses are closed. As saloons do
not minister to to the comfort or health or
necessities of the public, but on the other
hand do infiame the passions, promote
poverty and suffering and vice and crime,
there would seem to be no very urgent
reason for their keeping open at all, but
since society has not reached that heavenly
condition which would make it possible to
abolish them altogether, the Council will
do a very commendable thing if they COM
pei them to close at a reasonable hour and
so give us rest when decent people de
sire quiet. By all means give us the
ordinance.
