WASHINGTON, February 9.-Among the
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 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 S50,-
900, 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-

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 80 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 i'm 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.
but simply because no means of mas
tering the art OF horsewomanship as il
is practiced in the West existed in the
country. A riding school is, however,
about to be opened in Yokohama ex-
cluslyely for the use OF native ladies',
and it promises to be largely patron
ized. 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 Mkado. A
number OF young women are about to be
sent to Europe to receive thorough train
ing in the essential branches of female
education rs it is understood there, with
view TO their subsequent employment
as teachers in their own country when
qualified; 81. James Gazette.

Knocked Out of n 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 by
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
most remarkable manner. Nobody was
very badly hurt, but all received
scratches, bruises, and terrible scare.

Accidentally Killed.

SILVER Cry, Utah, February S.-Ne-
phi Stewart, who lives at Payson, died at
Homansville last night, at II o'clock
He had been to Eureka, and was on his
way home, having passed through Ho-
Evansville about II o'clock a. m, and was
found dead in the road beside his wagon
about p. M, some half a 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.

The Election Returns.

The polls materially improved yester-
day after the DEMOCRAT went to press,
and contrary to general expectation Il
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 Z, 621 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 $50
votes behind the highest vote, which
was cast for Mr.. T. G. Webber. 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-
frape

TO WED ROBERT BROWNING.
A millionaire Widow of Philadcl-
phin Captures the English
Poets Heart.

PHILADELPHIA, February SAN in
innate friend OF Mrs. Bloomfield Moore,
the millionaire widow of Philadelphia,
who starts in a 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 q
Moore, whose establishment on North
street gave his widow in Paris and London,
as well as in her native city, the title OF
"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 Keely, of motor fame,
who has used several hundred thousand
dollars OF Mrs. Moore's money, and now
promises by her aid to bring his inyen-
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 Fances,"
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 years.
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 oil the lady's affection for
Browning has been most admirably ex-
pressed in one OF her poems, "On the
Heights" in volume published by
Remington, in London, two years ago.
For those who can read between the lines
the exquisite lyrics in "Feristah's Fan
cies" will possess singular charm, sug-
costing as they do to those who know
the author OF "Agatha's Friendship the
possibility that the poet is not as well
satisfied with platonic love rs is the au-
thoress. The brilliant authoress OF
"Agatha's Friendship" "On the flights"
etc, will be recognized us Mrs Moore.
Should she, as is indicated above. con
clude to change her name, Philadelphi-
ans will unite in the hope that she may
not transfer her residence to London.

his subsidized journal states, Il learned

bedded at the expense of his down
trodden country. You all know my
opinions. They are those OF the majority :;

acter OF the man who yesterday had the
audacity to address you from this plat

ing roguery and tinpot theft. His ideas
are too little for a highwayman, and too
large Tor larceny on Il petty scale"

ASSETS OF THE LONDON BANK.
Final Disposition of the Accounts
Expected TO be Made i'm
Few Days.

Mr.. Edward Austin was seen in the u.
s. Marshals office this morning looking
over the papers, collateral and accounts,
ETC., OF the defunct London Bank, which
by recent order of the court have been
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. II. 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, il was
plainly evident that he joined in this
feeling.
Among the several score of promissory
notes which lay spread out OH 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 100000
and interest. This note, and several
others nearly as large, could be bought
for dollar. In answer to 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 ....................... $50 900
Secured loans .............. 1900
Other amounts not held by the Mar
shal observation-disclosures. 2,OOO
Kinner mine Glow estimate) ......... 10000
Moneys received by Mr.. Austin, not
handed over Observation-Disclosures. $500
5000 shares Mammoth, say 81 per
200 shares Frisco, say 81 per share. 800
Total. S67, 100
In addition to this there had been some
$1,000 involved in litigation in the mat
ter of the attachment of w. ii. H. 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 $4,000. and with this he
expected to be able to cover all judg-
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 81, 500, and the re-
mainder of the banks obligations have
been purchased by parties who had con-
fidence in the ultimate soundness of the
assets, some paying as high as from go to
90 per cent, Mr.. Austin says, for the
paper.
AS soon as the courts have disposed OF
the case finally, Mr.. Austin will pro-
coed to place the accounts in shape for a
last disposition of the assets.

The Irish Split.

DUBLIN, February 9.-Great interest is
felt here as to the outcome of the split in
the Nationalist party in support of candi-
dates in the Parliamentary contest in Gal
way. Parnell to-day started for Galway to
take part in the canvass Of his nominee,
O'Shea. He was accompanied by Thomas
Power, O'Connor, Kelly, Sexton, Deasy
and Campbell, members of Parliament.
Fifty Irish members of Parliament have
signed an appeal to the electors of Galway,
asking them to uphold Parnells nominee.

A COmstOck Dividend.

1t is something remarkable in these
days OF assessments and disappointments
in mining, says the San Francisco Post,
to be able to chronicle dividend-es-
pecially 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,-
500, had been declared by the CONSOLE
dated California 4 Virginia Mining Com
pany was therefore p genuine surprise.
len years ago, when Consolidated yir-
ginia & California shares, which have
since been atnalgamated into the new
corporation, were declining from the hun
dreds into the fifties upon the
doubts OF the public, a news
paper IN this city, in an interview with
j. q. Flood, put these words into his
mouth Consolidated Virginia will paw
dividends long after those who have ma
ligned it are cold in death" There are
reasons for believing that Mr.. Flood
never made such a remark, but il 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
have been reduced to point which per-
mlls rock which was considered very low
grade several years ago to be worked at
., profit. There is plenty of such rock in
the Comstock lode, and in these days OF
inventive skill processes are being de-
vlsed which may eventuate in reducing
much further the cost OF working ore.
