THAT is the size of it.'
The fact is that Loutitt was born i'm a
stable in New Orleans, says Louisville
Times correspondent. He is a self-made
man. He is of medium stature, but pow
erfully built. The muscles of his arms
stand out in great cords and are as firm as

He gained vote in peculiar way dur
ing his race for congress.
There was blacksmith in the upper part
of the district who sneered at the idea of the
lawyer candidate for congress having
''served at the trade" He thought
it was political trick. When Loutitf
got to the blacksmlth's town he walked
down to the shop and without saying who

sleeves and went to work with the big
hammer.
The blacksmith had heard the candidate
was coming, but stood back and watched

Loutitt had gotten in some of his ''best

ExPEILING FRENCH RoYAI1sTs

EXPELLING FRENCH ROYALISTS.
The expulsion Of the Count Of Paris
from France puts an end to the hopes of the
Royalist party for the restoration of mon
archy. Restoration was scarcely probable
even with the presence Of the representa-
tives of the royal family, and it is abso-
1utely hopeless with them all in exile. The
tendency Of European governments is not
in the direction Of monarchies. The tend
ency is the other way. The heads that wear
crowns these days wear them uneasily.
Even in England, with its forms of
constitutional monarchy where the ruler is
king or queen only in name, there is grow
ing disposition to cast away the deceitful
Sbauhle of royalty and to establish the gov
eminent upon solidly republican founda-
ton. The same feeling exists to still
more intense degree in Russia, Germany,
and in all the nations where the forms of
imperialism exist. In the face of the re-
publican tendency of this age there is no
possibility of restoring kingly government
in country like France, which has tasted
OF the sweets Of a conservative republican
government. The French people are i'm
pulsive and are liable to do things out of
the ordinary course of events, but they are
not 80 restless as ever to submit to condi-
tons which are liable to restore the NAPoL-
EONIC dynasty

MRS. COulstOn Has the Names of
ParsOn Measures, ssVictims',
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 25.-In con-
nection with the charge of assault with in
tent to commit rape made against Rev.
Waldo Messaros, prominent minister of
this city, by lady of his congregation.
Mrs. Coulston. considerable of sensation
has been created by the fact leaking out
that Mrs. G. w. Coulston claims to be in
possession of the names of a number of the
members of the congregation who declared
that they also had been insulted by their
pastor. Mrs. Coulston made statement
to that effect on Monday evening last.
Since then she has been in receipt of letters
threatening her life and epistles warning
her that if she dared to make public her
knowledge bodily harm would come TO her.
Some of these letters Mrs. CoustOn carried
to District Attorney Graham and they were
read by that gentleman. Mrs. CoillSton
said to friend:
II am not the only woman in that congre-
CATION who has been insuted by Messaros, but
l am the only woman who had the courage to
resent his conduct and expose him. Other
complaints have been made to Mr. Norman
and the elders of the church, but no heed has
been taken of them. How do learn these
things? Why, the women themselves came
to me and told me. They asked my advice
because they knew that had experience in
public affairs. Yes, l have the names of
every one of these women, and there is not
one of them but who will to-day, through
FEAR OF THEIR HUSBANDS
and exposure to the public. deny the state
ments. But they know that I tell the truth
If the women of that congregation would just
tell a little bit, Messaros could not stay in
this city. 1t would surprise every
one to learn of the conduct of Mr.. Messaros
and his boldness. One young lady came
to me only short time ago and with tears in
her eyes related remark which she claimed
that Mr.. Messaros had made to her. The lady
said: If my brother knew of this he would
shoot MeSsaros.' Women have begged ofIme
to use every means to keep the knowledge of
the pastors actions from their husbands
fearing that the men would kill him.
''You do not intend to call any of the ladies
whose names you have as witnesses?'' was in
CURED Of Mrs. Coulston.
THAT is matter for future consdera ton.
No definite plans have been agreed upon.
Every woman who has confided in me, or OF
whom I have heard as having been insuted,
now derides and scorns me. They are the
loudest to shout the story of their pastor s
innocence. AS l said before. if some of the
young girls would only tell the least bit, there
would be trouble

Saved From, starvation.

A remarkable surgical operation was sue
cessfully performed at the general hospital at
Buffalo, the patient being woman 46 years
old, who came to the hospital to be treated
for an obstruction in the esophagus which
made it difficult for her to swallow. The
diagnosis made indicated that the obstruction
was tumor.
About the first of the year the swelling had
grown so that the woman could swallow no
solid food, and lately it had increased so that
even liquid food could not be forced down her
throat through the smallest tube made. To
save her from starvation it became necessary
to perform au operation, which it was finally
decided should be to make an opening directly
into the stomach. Cocaine was employed to
prevent pain and the operation was per-
formed.
An incision was first made over the line of
the stomach just below the cartridges and out
side the medan line, through the abdominal
walls. The large intestines were pushed one
side and fold Of the stomach sewed to the
abdominal wall so that portion of the stom-
ach the size CT a twenty-fve-cent piece was
exposed to view. After three days galvano-
cautery was used to burn away the remaining
tissue and an opening into the stomach was
thus made. Food has since been passed into
the stomach directly. No i'll effects have
been noticed from the operation.

THE FITz JOHN PORTER BILL.

The FITz JOHN PORTER bill having
previously passed the lower house of COIL
gress was yesterday passed by the senate by
a vote of so to II, and now only awaits the
signature of the president to become law.
Thus it is that by slow methods great
wrong has been righted and justice done to
gallant soldier Of the United States army.
However taTdy justice has been in
this case it is none the less de-
serving. 1t is no small matter
to smrch the reputation OF soldier. A
soldiers honor is his all. 1t is more than
life to him. There is no true soldier who
would not prefer death q thousand times
over to diShonor. When Gen. PORTER
was broken of his rank in the army on
false charge of cowardice in the face of
the enemy, his honor was wounded unto
death. For twenty-four years the gallant
soldier has struggled to redeem his name
from the calumny which aSpersed it.
The odds have been against him all this time
because of the political conditions which
invested his case. 1t became necessary for
the powers that were to find a scapegoat to
bear away the sins of PoPE's miserable
failure in the Virginia campaign of 1862.
Gen. PORTER was selected as the victim
and dishonor was heaped upon him in order
that POPE might escape the responsibility
which he was justly entitled to bear. A
Republican congress and successive Repub-
lican administrations refused to relieve Gen.
PORTER of the injustice which had been
done him. long after it had been made clear
that the findings of the court-martial which
convicted him was erroneous. The Re
publican party did not have the manliness
Ito do this simple act of justice, from the
single fact that to do so would reflect upon
a previous Republican administration. 1t
was not until the Democratic party
came into power that the friends of PORTER
felt encouraged in the hope that justice
could be secured. Their hopes have been
realized. The Democratic house promptly
passed the bill and sent it to the senate.
The public had become so thoroughly con-
WINGED of Gen. PeRTER's innocence, and
consequently such a strong pressure had
been brought to bear upon the senate by
the force of public opinion, that sufficient
number of Republican senators were in
duced to unite with the Democrats to Sc
cure the passage of the bill for his relief.
There is no reason to doubt that the presi-
dent will promptly sign the bill, Tor by do
ing so he will not only remove a stigma
from the reputation Of a brave old soldier
and defender of the Union. but he will
wipe out dark stain from our American
history.

PANAMA, June 17.-Since the retirement
of Gen. Santo Domingo Villa from the post
of civil and military chief of this depart
ment, Senior Amado Guirrero has been act
ing in that capacity until his permanent sue
cessor should be appointed. Gen. Posada
has now been appointed, and will shortly
enter upon his duties. DR.. Guirrero is one
of the most popular citizens of Panama
At Laboca, the terminus of the canal in
Panama, about three miles from the city, a
lively little village is springing up, and
there are signs of great animation. 1t is
evidently destined to become an important
town. Vessels continue to arrive at Colon
with materials for the canal company.
The reports sent abroad from here that
there were forty deaths daily in Colon from
yellow fever are not true. Equally untrue
is story sent hence to Lima and printed
there that there was an average of sixty
deaths daily in this city from the disease.
The consequence of these misstatements is
that several persons who intended to go to
Europe via Panama. have made up their
minds to go through the straits of Magellan,
fearing the supposed epidemic.
An American has obtained concession to
erect theauer in Panama, and engaged to
complete it in one year. 1t is to accommo-
date roo persons. The government ex-
empts the theater from all taxation for the
period Of six years. The site of the old
convent, Los MOnjas, has been selected,
and substantial walls are standing there.
On the 18th inst. some laborers engaged
in demolishing an old building near the
railway company's Office, came across jar
containing 81, 600 in gold.

make the skies look little cloudy for the
CAMERON faction. There is no expecta-
tion that the Prohibitionists will succeed in
carrying the state, but there is decided
prospect for the overthrow of the Republic

GOOD NEWS FOR DAKOTA.

The Dakota railroad co commissioners, who
came to St. Paul for the purpose of securing
a reduction in freight rates OH grain shipped
from Dakota, have done good work for
their constituents. The GLOBE said two
days ago that it would be mistaken in the
disposition OF tine railway managers at this
place if liberal reductions were not made.
The result of a consultation between the
Dakota commissioners and the officers of
the Manitoba has been the promise of a
new tariff in both freight and passenger
rates, to go into effect on the 1st of August,
which will be a reduction of about Is per
cent. less than the present rates. This az
rangement will be saving of nearly three
quarters Of million of dollars to the far
mers of Dakota on this years wheat crop.

Cost of Elections in Great Britain.

Evening Post.
In England the election expenses are rigidly
fixed by law, and anything beyond the legal
maximum exposes the candidate not only to
the loss of his seat on trial before the courts,
but possibly to term of Imprisonment. But
they are nevertheless SO heavy that poor
man cannot face them without assistance. In
borough, if the number of electors on the
register does not exceed 1000, the candidate
may spend for all purposes, except personal
expenses and the returning officers fees.
S1,750. If the number exceeds 1000, then
$50 for every additional complete 1000. In
Ireland the candidate is allowed to spend on
somewhat more liberal scale-that is, 81, 900
for 500 electors, and S1,250 for any number
between 500 and LOO. and ST. 1915 for any num-
Der between LOCO and 1,500. In the counties
where the number of electors does not exceed
1000 the candidate may spend $3.50 in Eng
land and Scotland and S2,500 in Ireland If
the number exceeds 1000, then So, $50 in Eng
land and Scotland and $4,700 in Ireland, and
an additional $500 in England and Scotland
and an additional $500 in ireland for every
complete 1000 electors over 1000. In all
these cases the things on which the money
may be spent are rigidly defined. Now, the
Tories and Wings are not nearly as rich as
they were. but they are still far better able to
supply money and candidates to meet these

are, and they make no secret of the fact that

rnE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Adjusting the Status of Small Silver
Certificates.


Certificates.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The house
went into committee of the whole (Mr.
Reagan of Texas in the chair on the sun
dry civil bill.
Mr.. Bland of Maine offered an amendment
to the silver certificate amendment adopted
Yesterday, so as to place the small certificates
on the same footing as to redemption and re-
issue as the larger certificates already issued.
Mr.. Bayne of Pennsylvania opposed the
amendment and regretted that he bad not
been here yesterday to make point of order
against the original amendment. He had
seen by the papers that the committee had
also agreed to an amendment providing for
the reissue of ST and 81 greenbacks. This
amendment was adopted yesterday on motion
of Mr.. Weaver, Iowa, instead of on motion of
Mr.. Warner, Ohio) It was now proposed, he
said, to put in circulation new species of
money and thus make the United States
hoard almost every dollar it coined. These
shin plasters would be put in circulation in
lien of the silver dollars and the friends of
silver coinage were forced to stultify them
selves. Mr.. McMillIn of Tennessee objected
to the silver certificates being characterized
as shin plasters. They had silver dollars
back of them which might be exchanged for
getting sick and tired of hearing gentlemen
berate the silver dollar. 1t was a currency
good enough for

Mr. Cannon Illinois) offered an amendment
providing that all the certificates shall be
lawful money and legal tender in payment of
all debts, public and private. MIR. Payne
raised a point of order and it was supported
by Mr.. Bland. Mr.. Cannon said that he was
weary of hearing the gentleman from Mis-
souri, impugn the motives of everybody. He
Endorsed the amendment of that gentleman,
but he denied to go step forward and make
the silver certificate legal tender. The
point of order was sustained and the amend
ment ruled out. Mr.. BANDS amendment
was then adopted. A short debate ensued
upon the coast survey clauses of the bill, ana
this was followed by discussion of the in
ternal revenue paragraphs. Mr. Townshend
Qllinois) offered an amendment increasing
from $4,000 to $50, 600 the appropriation for
the detection of persons guilty of violating
the internal revenue laws and for the pay
ment of informers. Rejected. On motion of
Mr.. Gibson West Virginia) the paragraph
containing the appropriation, was stricken
from the bill. Mr.. Ermentrout Pennsylvania
offered an amendment providing that So, 00O
of the appropriation for the recoinage of gold
and silver coin shall be expended in recon-
ing dollar for dollar into silver dollars or sub
sidary coins, trade dollars which may be pre-
the passage of this act. Pending action, the
committee rose and the house took recess

Civilized people will only consent to trade
