ArINGEN1o1Js SMUGGLER.-When watch

from Holland to Harwich, England, wear
ing curious undergarment crowded with
small pockets, in which were slowed away
no less than LAG watches. This shirt "s
watches was 80 arranged that it was impos-
sible for him to sit down, but as the time
usually spent on the voyage was not very
long, say twenty-four hours at the outside,
this inconvenience did not seem TO matt
The boat started, and the man began to
wander about the deck, no one having the
slightest suspicion of the curious armor Ill
which be was encased. Unfortunately for
him fog came on and the vessels progress
was stopped. The fog was obstinate, IL
would not lift, and the man who couldn
sit down wandered despairingly about
growing more and more tired each TURN
Thirty hours had psssed since he had left the
Dutch coast and oil the time ne hnn
remained on his legs The man who din
not sit down became the observed oi
all on board, and as he Wander"
hither and thither, longing for the log
to rise. he became concious that all eyes
we're turned on him. He thought ne was
discovered; he grew alarmed; and still the
vessel remained motionless; and ike an un'
ouiet spirit he shambled across the decE i.
Tbirty.six hours from Holland, and still ne
kent his legs. Forty-two hours went by,
and the wandering watch. carrier, eyed and
: wondered at by all, tottered to and fro, un-
able to rest, and ready to drop from fatigue.
No sign of the fog going; no sign OF relief.
Twenty-Five hours overdue, and still the
wandering Jew glided about in the gloom.
At last there came slant OF wind winch
cleared away the fog, and as the vessel
neared the harbor the custom officers came
on board. Catching sight of the mans
haggard look and peculiar gait, they spoke
so sharply to him that his courage gave
way, and declaring his goods in tones OF
terror, he went off in faint, and, retaining
his risidity, toppled over into the officers
arms. He was decenty unclothed, and he
left his shirt to be shown at the Custom
House Museum of an unappreciative coun

Rights OF the Senate.

About twenty Republican Sena-
tors met in caucus Wednesday
morning. Senator Edmunds sub
mitted a resolution from the Judi
ciary Committee cmbOdying the
views of the Republican members
respecting the rights Of the Senate
to information from the heads Of
executive departments. The rcso.
luton was approved, and it was
decided that it shall be offered in
open session of the Senate.
The resolutions are three in mum
Der. The first declares that the
action of the Attorney General in
refusing to furnish information
when called for by the Senate, no
matter what his motive might have
been, was reprchcnSible. The sec
ond declares that when the Senate
has called or may call upOn heads
of departments for information re-
garding removals from Office, and
the information is not furnished as
requested, the Senate will not con
firm the appointee. The third con
dennis the disregard of the law
which requires that in selections
tor office preference be given TO
honorably discharged Union sol.
dicrS and sailors.
1t is understood that the rcsolu-
lions will be formally laid before
the Judiciary Committee at lis next
meeting, with a view to having
them reported TO The Senate imme-
dIately thereafter.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GARLAND.

WASHINGTON, u. C., February
Northumberland Garland. i'm
an interview today, said that he
had nothing new TO say respecting
the manner in which he became
connected with the Pan. Electric
Telephone Company, or the circum-
stances under which the Memphis
suit against the Bell Company WAS
Instituted by direction OF Solicitor
General GOodc. His published
statement to the President last Oc-
tober embodied everything he knew
about those matters. and his atti-
tudc in regard To them has not
changed since then. "BcSidcs
this" Mr.. Garland added, sit now
appears that an investigation COW
ering the whole question is to be
had by the House Of Representa-
tiyes, and | am glad Of it, and hope
it will be thorough and complete,
and that all there is of it will be re-
vcalcd and made public. I'm nd
vance Of this investigation, which
! heartily welcome, / feel diSlncllued
to 90 into the subject IN detail but
| will say this, however, it is as
serted by some persons that, rs |
am member Of a rival company
to the Bell Company, and the Gov
eminent is now prosecuting a suit
against the Bell telephone patent,
this suit may result to my benefit
or advantage, and that, too, while
am at the head Of the Department
of Justice, through the Solicitor
General Of which the suit is to be
carried on, and that, therefore,
something should be done by me to
relieve myself and the Administra-
ton from the apparently delicate
situation indicated. | have consid-
cred this suggestion in all its bear
ings, as far as | am able, and |
recognize tho fact that there is
much in it worthy Of thought. !
have discussed in my mind most
thoroughly what could and ought
to do in view, alone, of this state Of
the case, and have determined to
take steps to meet this in way
that will, | think, receive the ap-
probation Of all people who really
desire to be satisfied. This would
be at once contaminated, but as the
investigation by the House is now
to proceed, do not think il right
for me to do anything or explain
what | intend to do until that in
vestgatiOn is concluded, as my mo-
tive, i'm view of this investigation,
might be miscOnstrucd. But what
ever the result of the investigation
may be, will carry out and exc
cute the determination ! have
reached, and Of which have al
ready spoken; and more than this
hope you do not expect me to say
or Indicate
When asked whether this state
ment foreshadowcd his withdrawal
from the Cabinet, Mr.. Garland
promptly responded, "No; it does
not"
