GENERAL ANu onIrIouLAR.

Frank Carpenter AID George Martin, two
able and distinguished Washington CORE
speudents, have taken as their offices the
two rooms on I street once occupied by the
late Hon Chas Sumner. Saturday they were
pcdlcring around gettiog things in shape,
and Martins business was to get crate
out. He was ramming around among the
bricks and loosening the whole wall.
"This is a very intellectual job" he said
to Carp, out Of the dust.
"Yes, and you'll pull the whole side wall
out In a minute" replied Carpenter, push
ing the mantle back in It's place.
"Let her 60" said George "let her go.
If Summers mantle falls upon my shoulders
l won't ask anything better"
Carpenter showed bushel Of bricks over
on him and went to the window for air.
They had been quarreling, and she was
railing against marriage.
"But, my love- eXpostulated the hus-
band, "mariiage is made in heaven"
"l don't care Ii it is,' she snapped. "It
isn't made for home consumption, and they
ship 1t down to earth just as soon as they
can fill the orders"
"IIere's dime, Johnny" said an old lady
to her little nephew.
"Ten-cent, auntie,n he whispered softly
to himself, and went out to find the boys.

Senator Ct. G. Moody, who is here as

had Wild and romantic career, and
many Of the incidents connected with it
are unknown to the public. He went
from Indiana to Dakota, and twenty-five
years ago was member OF the Indiana
Legislature. The Legislature at this
time was fall Of hot blood. The de-
bates abounded in personalities of the
most insulting character, and Eumors OF

Washington sdylces are to the effect
that the house committee on territories
has made no progress with the bill to
admit Dakota to statehood. The demo-
cratic members OF the committee are
opposed to the bill passed by the senate
which admits Dakota Immediately upon
the passage of the act, and have there
fore given it no consideration. This is
not surprising when we consider the
Political animus which dictates ali the
movements of an intensely partisan
house. 1t is given as probability that
the house committee will do nothing
towards making report on the
Harrison measure. This is the opinion

CHICAGO, May 13.-Some miscreant
fired the Madison Street Theatre at m
early hour this morning. FLAMES broke
out in two places, on the stage and in tho
rear of the theatre ut once. The prompt
ness with which an alarm was turned III
saved the entire building, MS the fire was
making good Roadway when the depart
ment arrived. Only in the rear OF the build
ing was any material damage done. The
entire loss will not amount to more than
$500. At either side of the stage We're
found indications Of incendiarism. A
bottle containing yarnish h.d been placed
over u ventilation hole, It dry goods box
and paper were piled around and light
was then applied TO these materials for a
bonfire. On the other side near the other
ventilator was found large quantity of
straw that had refused to burn, owing To
the dampness of the surroundings. Chief
Swenie and his aids are positive that the
fire is incendiary.

Boston Heralu,
The President has given definition of
offensive partisansn which agrees with
what we have repeatedly pointed out as
the obvious meaning of the phrase. In
reply to an accusation of offensive parti-
sanship against Mr.. Matthews, the Albany
colored man nominated to the office now
held by Frederick Douglass, Mr., Cleve-
land is reported to have said that most Of
the charges he personally knew to be un,
true, and the rest, whether true or not,
"concern only the actions of a private
citizen, who then had n right to be ms
partisan as he pleased" And he added
''When was a private citizen was ni
partisan as any one. Only conduct of Q
partisan kind since man was nominated
or appointed ought TO count against
him." The President has stopped the
active interference of office holders q
both parties in elections, and thus put Of
end to the "oflensive craftsmanship O
which he justly complained in many o
the former Republican incumbents." Bu
every time he dominates n man who In
been an active Democrat, the cry is re
peated that he is inconsistent. The in
consistency will appear when he allow
in officials of his own party what he con
demned in those of another.

Chief Officer Hill and one seaman are
in possession of the schooner. This

Captain Kinney on the steamer Secret,
he was met by Captain Scott, who de-
manded the papers of the seized vessel,
Captain Kinney refused to deliver them
and came ashore at once. Later in the
day Captain Kinney was served with q
summons by the sheriff, commanding him
to appear in the supreme court at Halifax
on a charge of violation of the fishery
treaty of 1878. The document set fortl
that the plaintiff, Her Majesty the Queen
claimed GOO sterling for u breach of the
convention.
After the crew of the Adams had al
completed their dispositions, the news
paper representatives in Digby were sum
moned into the presence OF Captain
Kinney who, Consul Phelan said, wa
then at liberty to make full Statement
of the seizure and his subsequent pre-
ceedings. To-day Captain Kinney wi
