Two Interesting senate Bills.

l n u
WASHINGTON, February 9.-Among thu
bills introduced in the Senate yesterday
were the following:
| By Senator Sherman, authorizing the
President to invite all the governments Of
Mexico, Central America and South America
and Brazil to send delegates to meet in con-
vention in Washington, upon such day as
he may appoint during the present year, to
consider such questions as relate to the best
mode of establishing upon q firm and last
ing basis, peaceful and reciprocal CONNER
cial relations, and also to adopt such meas
ures as may be considered practicable to
carry forward the construction of an Inter
national railroad between the United States
and these countries. 1t appropriates $780,
600, to be placed to the credit of the Secre-
tary of State to defray the expense of the
convention.
Senator Plumb submitted resolution, re-
questing the Secretary of State to report to
the Senate the amount in bushels, of wheat,
corn and rye, and in pounds of cotton, pro-
duced and consumed in, imported into and
exported from the different countries with
which this country holds commercial inter
course, during the years 1884 and 1885, COM
pared with three years preceding these dates,
the surplus products now on hand in foreign
countries, and the amount likely to be re-
quired by importing countries before Sep

wheat now in the ground in foreign coun-
tries for the crop of 1886; also whether later
advices confirm the figures and opinion con-
tanned in his report to the Senate, April 21st,
1884, and the reasons so far as his official
extends which cause continued
depression in the prices of such products
in this country and throughout the world.

The Election Returns.

The polls materially improved yester-
day after the DEMOCRAT went to press,
and contrary to general expectation a
very fair-sized vote resulted. Of course
it could not be considered heavy one on
general comparison, as Notwithstanding
several hundred new names have been
added to the registration lists during the
past year or two, the total vote is but a
trifle larger than it has been in a number
of cases within the last two or three
years. The Peoples party polled an
average Of about 1921 votes, and the re-
mainder of the ballots which were given
to the Reform Ticket appropriated
something like 100. On the Peoples
Ticket Alfred Solomon fell some 259
votes behind the highest vote, which
was cast for Mr.. T. G. Weber. Junius F.
Wells, John w. Taylor and Heber J.
Grant also fell noticeably behind in the
order named. By those who watched
the proceedings at the various polls it
was observed tnat the great majority of
the votes were cast by females, and this
may have been superinduced largely by
the threatening complexion of a certain
clause in the new Edmunds bill which
presages an early death to woman suf-
frage

Accidentally Killed.

SILVER Cry, Utah, February S.-Ne-
phi Stewart, who lives at Payson, died at
Homansville last night, at IL O'Clock.
He had been to Eureka, and was on his
way home, having passed through Ho-
Evansville about IL o'clock a. M, and was
found dead in the road beside his wagon
about 3 p. M, some half mile below the
latter place. The wagon was tipped upon
the side when found, and partially out of
the road, and he had evidently fallen or
been thrown out. 1t was found that he
had received some injury on the back of
the head, and remained unconscious from
the time he was found until his death.
Walter Gardner and John Miller, of
Homansville, did all that was possible for
him, but the doctor, who was summoned
from Eureka, said there was no hope for
him. His body and team have been sent
on to his friends at Payson.

JAPANESE PROGRESS.
western Ideas Adopted by the
Mikado's Fair Subjects.

The ladies of Japan show not less
readiness to adopt Western ideas and
usages than the japanese of the other
sex. The bellies of Yedo order dresses
from Paris; and the progress of imita-
ton has gone so far as to make a
knowledge of the fashionable dances of
Europe an indispensable feature in
the education of every Japanese lady
who respects herself, Equestrianism
has not, however, figured so far in the
list of feminine accomplishments in the
dominions of the Mikado; not, it seems.
from any aversion on the part of the
ladies to take pattern by their European
sisters in this as in other respects,
put SIMPLY because no means of mas
terlng the art Of horsewomanship as it
is practiced in the West existed in the
country. A riding school is, however,
about to be opened in Yokohama ex-
clusively for the use of native ladies.
and it promises to be largely patron
lied. The Japanese Government is
about to take steps which will have the
effect OF bringing the more solid branches
OF Western education within the reach of
the female subjects of the Mikado. A
number OF young women are about to be
sent to Europe to receive thorough train
ing IN the essential branches of female
education as it is understood there, with
view to their subsequent employment
as teachers in their own country when

Knocked Out of a Buggy.

Mrs. John Wardrobe, Jr., and her four
children were riding along South Temple
street this morning in light buggy, and
when near the Tithing Office corner the
buggy was run into from behind and the
children pitched out into the mud.
The accident was occasioned bv
the breaking away of team which
had been detached from load
OF hay. The horses in breaking loose
from their lettering got awkwardly sep
arated and mixed up in their harness,
and in coming in contact with Mrs. Ward
robes buggy separated, going one on
each side. This completely pulled off
the top of the buggy and swept several
of the children out upon the ground in a
most remarkable manner. Nobody was
very badly hurt, but all received
scratches, bruises, and a terrible scare.

TO WE'D ROBERT BROWNING.
Millionaire Widow of Philadel.
phia Captures the English
POETS Heart.

PHILADELPHIA, February S.-An in
innate friend of Mrs. Bloomfield Moore,
the millionaire widow of Philadelphia,
who starts in few days for New York,
whence she will sail to London, has al
lowed it to be understood that the lady
referred to by Hartford evening paper
as engaged to be married to Robert
Browning, the English poet, is Mrs.
Moore. This lady is about fifty years of
age and resides at $40 South Broad street
in this city. Her husband was paper
manufacturer, of, the firm of Jessup &
Moore, whose establishment on North
street gave his widow in Paris and London.
as well as in her native city, the title Of
1.-The Princess of Rags" In his will he
left large sum to be devoted to the en-
couragement OF struggling inventors, and
this sum has been for several years de-
voted to backing Kelly, of motor fame,
who has used several hundred thousand
dollars of Mrs. Moore's money, and now
promises by her aid to bring his inven-
ton to completion definitely inside of
three months. Some time ago she was
reported to be engaged to the poet whose
last volume, "Ferishtah's Fancies."
shows him still capable of writing pas
sionate love lyrics. The Hartford paper
says:
Between Robert Browning and the
lady in question, the very deepest and
sincerest friendship has existed for wears.
That it has not resulted in marriage is
not surprising to those who know the au-.
thor OF "Agatha's Friendship" The ma
ture and degree OF the lady's affection for
Browning has been most admirably ex-
pressed in one of her poems, con the |
Heights in a volume published by |
Remington, in London, two years ago. |
For those who can read between the lines
the exquisite lyrics in "Feristah's Fan
cles.' will possess singular charm, sug-
costing as they do to those who know
the author of "Agatha's Friendship the
that the poet is not as well
satisfied with platonic love as is the au-
thoress. The brilliant authoress of
'Agatha's Friendship, "On the flights"

On the English Stump.

During the late Parliamentary cam
palgn in England a stump speaker is
quoted as saying: Gentlemen, I will
not pretend to the possession of the sa-
gacity shown by Mr.. Frumenty. He is a
barrister, Q. c., and according to what
his subsidized journal states, a learned
man; but permit me to tell you that his
great-grandmother mended chairs in the
time of the Third George, and his
wife's cousin four times removed
is at the present time boarded and
bedded at the expense of his down
trodden country. You all know my
opinions. They are those of the majority;
II they were not I would have embraced
opposite views. You all know the char
acter OF the man who yesterday had the
aaudacity to address you from this plat
form. lie is political charlatan, whose
loanaceas are cross between royster-
ing roguery and tinpot theft. His ideas
are too little for highwayman, and too
large for larceny on a petty scale.">

A COmstock Dividend .

1t is something remarkable in these
days OF assessments and disappointment
In mining, says the San Francisco Post
to be able to chronicle dividend-es-
peclally upon Comstock shares. Few
people believed that the great Nevada
lode would ever divide any more profits
among shareholders at large The an
nouncement yesterday that dividend of
thirty cents per share, amounting to $64,-
sou, had been declared by the Consoli-
dated California & Virginia Mining Com
pany Was therefore genuine surprise.
Ten years ago, when Consolidated Vir-
glnla d California shares, which have
since been amalgamated into the new
corporation, were declining from the hun
dreds into the ffties upon the
doubts OF the public, news
paper in this city, in an interview with
j. Z. Flood, put these words into his
mouth: Consolidated Virginia will paw
dividends long after those who have ma
hgned it are cold in death" There are
reasons for believing that Mr.. Flood
never made such remark, but if he did.
facts are bearing him out. The old
bonanza ground still appears to possess
merit, and there is prospect that the
dividends. having been resumed, will be
continued. This benefit to shareholders
has been brought about through the less
ened expenses of mining. All kinds of
supplies and the cost of working the ores
nave been reduced to a point which per-
mits rock which was considered very low
grade several years ago to be worked at
a profit. There is plenty of such rock in
the Comstock lode, and in these DAYS of
inventive skill processes are being de-
vised which may eventuate in reducing
much further the cost of working ore.

ASSETS OF THE LONDON BANK.
Final Disposition of the Accounts
Expected to be Made in a
Few Days.

Mr.. Edward Austin was seen in the U
S. Marshal's Office this morning looking
over the papers, collateral and accounts
etc., OF the defunct London Bank, which
by a recent order of the court have beer
handed over to the gentleman by Mar
shall Ireland 1t cannot be said that they
are wholly in the possession of Mr..
Austin as yet, for the twenty days. time
given Mr.. w. Fl. Bowers in the recent de
cision in which to give notice of action
has not expired; still it is pretty gener-
ally understood that the litigation will be
carried no further, and from the self
possessed manner in which Mr.. Austin
was handling the disputed assets, it was
plainly evident that he joined in this
| feeling.
Among the several score of promissory
notes which lay spread out on the table,
the reporters attention was arrested by
one or two very curious specimens, which
at one time were valued very highly, es-
pecially one executed in 1880 by John
Rice (now deceased) calling for $4,000
and interest. This note, and several
others nearly as large, could be bought
for dollar. In answer to q question in
reference to the present resources of the
bank, Mr.. Austin gave the following as
rough estimate, which, while it would
represent with tolerable accuracy the
status of the assets, should not be taken
for granted. he said:
Cash on hand 10000
Sacurad loanc 10'OO0
Other amounts not held by the Mar
shall 1000
Kinner mine Glow estimate) ..... 10000
Moneys received by Mr.. Austin, not
5000 shares Mammoth, say ST per 0
snare 6,UUO |
200 shares Frisco, say 81 per share. 800 |
Total. $751;, 100
In addition to this there had been some
s., 900 involved in litigation in the mat
ter of the attachment of w. H. Fl. Bowers,
in Montana, much of which Mr.. Austin
expected would be refunded. Altogether,
with several uncertain features, it might |
be safe, he thought, to approximate the
assets close to SIS, 900. and with this he
to be able to cover all judy
ments and accounts. OF the whole num-
Der of accounts and judgments against
the bank, only three or four had been
held on to, and these, Mr.. Austin claims,
are in the possession of parties whom he
advised to keep their claims, assuring
them that the obligations could and
would be met, and every dollar will now
be paid in full with interest.
These accounts will probably not
amount to more than 50 800, and the re-
mainder of the banks obligations have
been purchased by parties who had con-
idence in the ultimate soundness of the
assets, some paying as high as from 60 to
10 per cent, Mr.. Austin says, for the
paper.
As soon as the courts have disposed of
he case finally, Mr.. Austin will pro-
ICED to place the accounts in shape for
asst disposition of the assets. II

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.
The Next Attraction Promised by
the Careless Opera Company.

The wonderful success which attended
| the performances of Patience" and the
"Mikado" by the home company, has in
splred disposition to attempt number
OF other operas, first among which the
Pirates OF Penzance," will be given.
For some weeks past there has been an
active rehearsal OF this opera, and it is
safe to say that by the 22d inst, the date
set for the performance, the several parts
will have been mastered as perfectly as
were several in the former performances
OF the amateurs ;.
A feature which attracts extraordinary
interest to this approaching opera is the
fact OF Mr.. Robert Gorlinski having been
embraced in the cast for the Pirate King.
Ihose who have been present at rehear-
sails declare that Mr. Gorlinski's acting
Will excel, if it were possible, his mag
nlilcent singing, and this alone will induce
large attendance, for the gentleman is
quite favorite among the musical pub

but such cannot be said of Mr. Spencer,
who really can only shine IN one particu-
lar scene, fact much to be regretted, as
he has always contributed more than per-
haps any otherindividual to the success of
Inc local operas. Miss Edith Clawson
and Miss Louie Wells, particularly the
latter, have parts admirably adapted to
their respective voices, and are expected
70 make marked success, as no doubt |
they, will. The parts are all in good |
hands, and under the efficient and indie |
fatlgable direction of Professor Careless,
will doubtless make of the 'tPirates of |
Penzance'' a brilliant success that will
not prove wit behind their other notable
performances. Following is the cast:
