Wel,born's Opinion OF the Carlisle
Contest.

WAsHfNGToN, Nov. 1l-lieproscnt-
alive Wcllborn, Of Texas, who Is one
Of the ables. and most experienced
observation-disclosures in the house, was
asked by an Associated Press reporter
to-day what would be the effect OF n
contest over Mr.. Cariislc's seat. Should
there be a contest. upon his candidacy
for the speakership Of the house. Mr.
Wcllborn replied; "Such q contest
would furnish no reason whatever why
Mr.. CARL Re should not be speaker
of the house. The tcnAh rulc OF
the House y; Representatives is,
unless otherwise especially ordered by
the House, that the speaker shall APP
point AZ the commencement OF each
congress the following standing COM
miitccs (the list includes the commit
Ice on elections and all standing COM
mittees.) The rules of the present
house cannot of their own force ilX the
method of procedure i'll n subsequent
congress. Nevertheless, by unbrokcn
usage Of a new House, as a prelimlna-
~ to its permanent organization,
adopts the rules of the prior House.
Such, | take it, will be the coursc in
the next House, and rule 10 will
thus control the constitution Of
commit ccs in the Fifiieth
congress. Should there be a contest
over Mr.. Carlisle's seat the house itself
will in some suitable way select the
committee on elections, and thus MI.
Carlisle be relieved of any possibility
OF embarrassment in the case. To
hold that Mr.. ThGbe's contest with
Mr.. Carlisle disqualiies the latter for
speaker conducts to n result illogical
and absurd. If such a holding were
followed the influence and power Of n
chosen leader of the dominant party
Of the house would be ellectually
crushed at any time, by springing a
contested election case, no matter how
absolutely devoid it may be of merit

Miss Winnie Davis.

New YORK CITY, Nov. 1.-THE fact
that Mrs. Cleveland and Miss VIM
ME, daughter of Jefferson Davis. Of
Confederate fame, Travelled from
Washington to this place in the same
car recently without meeting is still
the subject of much gossip in society
circles, and the inquisitiye and curious
minded are still anxious TO know if
the chief lady Of the land is deter
mined to boycott Miss Davis socially
on account of the sins of her father.
Speaking Of this matter, Gen. An
derson, who came here with Miss
Davis from Virginia, said TO a re-
porter: "But, of course, we expected
Mrs. Cleveland and made grand pre-
variations to receive her. AS Presi-
dent Cleveland is a Democrat, and we
are all Democrats down there, we
thought il strange he did not bring his
wife. But Miss Davis has not cx-
pressed herself on the subject. She is
very guarded in her utteranccs, and
avoids anything that would cause
comment. don't see why the North
should have any antipa;hy to Mr..
Davis any more than 10 Gen. Lee. Ii
is totally incxplicable 10 me. Mr..
Davis is as great as Gladstone-the
only man in America who can APP
preach the great Englishman. His
daughter is retiring, and does not seek
notoriety."

A humorous lecturer is reported by

Jules JGuin and the Sancy.

Jules Janiu, the great French critic,
wGs an extremely absent-minded man.
This story OF the way he lost the great
Sancy diamond whose value has been
estimated ut three hundred thousand
dollars, illustrates this trait OF his
character.

the gallery of the Louvre, in Paris,
he met the Prince and Princess Dem
