FLOWERS HOPES VANISHED.
His BARR" Taps Turned on and the
'BOys" Disheartened.

His "Bar'l" Taps Turned on and the
'sBOys" Disheartened.
The dispiriting intelligence has reached
some of the workers in the Democratic
ranks, says a Chicago special to the New
York Times, that the taps have been turned
off the Flower ''bar'ls7 since the Saratoga
tizzle, and that the dry season has actII-
ally set in. 1t Is confidently predicted
that the number of Flower workers will,
in consequence, be diminished from 75 to
30 per cent. Even Carter HarrisOn's fol-
lowers, class which never drops any,
thing so hong as it contains a spark of
vitality, acknowledged that the Flower
boom is bursted. When il was in its ze-
NTH Mr.. Flower engaged quarters at the
Grand Pacific, from which to direct its
movements, for at that time it was anti
cipated that it might be, and probably
would be, used as a sort of batterIng-ram
at the doors Of the National Democratic
Convention. His private secretary has
Just taken possession of them and an
nounced that Mr.. Flower will not attend
the convention or even visit the city. But
as the bedroom and bathroom must be
paid for it would be folly not to have them
put to some purpose. Another employe
Of Mr.. Flowers, whose sympathies are
about evenly divided between Blaine and
Flower, takes the same practical view of
the matter, and he occupied them with
Private Secretary Gibbens to-day. While
the private secretary does not talk conf
IDENTIFY of Mr.. Flowers future, in fact
rather evades the subject, when pressed
he does not cOncede that all hope for his
employer ought yet TO be abandoned.
From all that can be gathered from him
the chief foundation for this hope is the
fact that Gen. Lester Barnabas Faulkner
and Senator John Collins Jacobs will ar
rive from New York within three days
and devote themselves to the ex-COngress-
mans interests. 1t is vaguely lntimated
that the Interests alluded to have sim
mered down from a Presidential ambition
to a revengeful determination to prevent
any other New Yorker from being nomi-
mated. Room 81 will possess some inter-
estin the next few days, for the disaffected
will make it their headquarters, and Mr..
Gibbens' roommate may eventually carry
out some such Democratic design as fling
ing Blaine banner from the bathroom
window.

WASHINGTON, July 6, 2 A. MIN strong
contrast with the night sessions of former
sessions of Congress the galleries and
corridors of the Senate have been quiet
and free from excitement. The uninter-
esting character of the proceedings and
the frequent recesses and executive ses-
sions during the evening contributed to
this result. There were about
fifty Senator'S in the building
during the early part of the night, but
rarely more than One-half of that number
were in the Senate chamber at the same
time. The President arrived at his room
in the capitol at IL O'Clock, accompanied
by his Cabinet and private secretary.
Nearly all the Senators and many men,
bers of the House called upon him
there. He remained until a late
hour. But very few bills
less than a doZen-were presented for his
signature. At / O'Clock this morning
there was no indication of adjournment of
either house of Congress.

Negro who Played Savage and Drank
Blood Suing for Wages.

A Negro who Played Savage and Drank
Blood Suing for Wages.
A full blooded negro yesterday entered
the office of Justice Of the Peace Weiss in
Paterson, N. j., says the New York Herald
of the Sd inst, and began suit for $500
damages against Cooper g. Hewitt for the
alleged unlawful detention of a trunk
The Justice was rather surprised at the
broken English spoken by the negro and
still more surprised to hear him change
to very fluent German.
Inquiry on the part of the Justice eli
cited rather peculiar story of the life of
the plaintiff. His name is Thomas Nor
ris, and he is a native of Kingston, ia
maica, where he was born fOrty-eIght
years ago. When quite young he came to
this city, and from here went to Germany,
where he Joined the SchwenOId Circus at
HohenZOllern as an unciviliZed Zulu chief.
He allowed himself to be put in a cage, in
which he spent most of his time, at fair
salary. He pretended to speak an unin-
telligible language, although at that time
he spoke English and very little German.
During the hours of exhibition his keep
ers fed him with live chickens. He bit
the chickens and sucked their blood, act
ing in very savage manner. This in
duced the residents of the towns through
which the circus passed to bring him
chickens and other fowl in order to see
him kill them. In this manner the show
men were kept supplied with fowl for
their table.
Morris spent twenty-five years in Ger
many and Spain, remaining with the CIR
Gus large portion of the time, and ac-
quiring knowledge Of the German and
Spanish languages, both Of which he
speaks fluently. While in Switzerland he
fell in love with pretty peasant girl,
suit was a marriage, the relatives of the
girl having no objections to the match.
Subsequently he and his white bride came
to the United States, and two years ago
he obtained employment in the iron mines
of ex-Mayor Cooper and Congressman A.
S. Hewitt, situated in the upper part of
Passaic county, n. j.
He complains that during that time he
has never received a dollar, nor has he
been able to induce the superintendent of
the mines, Philip r. George, to give him
an accounting, so that he does not know
how his accounts stand with the firm.
