Cause of Miss Bavard,s Death.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 16.-The immediate cause
OF Miss Bayard's death was disease Of the
heart. She had been troubled with weak
ness of that organ, and had been treated
oy the family physician at intervals for
several years. At the reception at her fathers
house last night it was remarked that Miss Bay
ara was unusually animated, and exerted her
self to the utmost to entertain the guests. 1t is
presumed that the undue excitement may have
precipltated the fatal end When the young
LADY retired last night she expressed the wish
not to be disturbed until noon, Between l and
2 O'Clock this afternoon her sister went to her
room, and was at once alarmed at the
pallor and death-lke appearance Of her
sisters face, and being unable to awaken her,
Immediately summoned the family. AS soon as

physicians were summoned and powerful restora-
tives, including electricity. were applied but in
vain. The physicians express the opinion that
Miss Bayard had been dead several hours when
her sister entered her room. The interment will
take place at Wilmington, DEL, probably on
Tuesday, where Secretary Bayard's family are
buried. The news of Miss Bayard's death Gre
ated a profound sensation throughout the city,
and fer time. in the absence of definite infor-
nation, number of wild rumors circulated.

The Result at Seattle.

The OregOnidR, in commenting on
the recent city election at Seattle,
says:
We learn from Seattle that the
election of ". II Shoudy, candidate
Of the scrub element. to the mayoralty
WAS accomplished through the apathy
of the better class, who did not come
out to the polls in full force. The
stay-at-home vote doomed the city
to term of misrule, just as the stay
at-home vote permitted the return of
Gerdes ct al. to the council in this
city last month. 1t seems incre1it-
able that this should be so. At
Seattle, of all places, it would seem
that the people ought to be awake to
the interests OF the time. The dis
turbance LAST winter which resulted
once in the shedding of blood in the
streets and twice in the garrisoning
of the city with national troops, the
exposures of local communistic
schemes by the late grand jury, the
business depression which followed
these things and which now paralyzes
every IultItol, lHo open ulSCOultnl
with law and order and the secret
threats of further violence, with the
discrodit and shame suffered by the
eity-these things it would seem,
would stir a community profoundly,
and upon an occasion like that of
Monday bring out to the polls every
man having decent regard for the
public interests. 1t would be be-
iieved that every decent voter would
regard the public interest as per
sonal one. But the recent troubIes
had little effect, other than to organ
ize the antagonistic and rowdy
spirit. The saloons, the bawdy
houses, the slums poured out their
utmost strength, which, uniting with
blind and stupid element which
forgot principles and times in its
devotion to politics, won the day.
Such result at such time shows
how lightly the privilege of the bal
lot is held; and it suggests a danger
dreadful merely as possibility to
every patriot. What is to become of
the country if decent people retire
from politics and refrain from voting.
while those who have no interest but

the face of these facts, all must admit
that Voorhees, life in congress has

failure.

The Hop Crop.

Recent and rapid advances in the
price of hops have started people to
speculating wildly again upon fu :
lures. A San Francisco dispatch of
tie 18th inst. says:
Reports from New York announce
that the hop crop in the central por-
tion of the state has been seriously
damaged by vermin has had the eff
feet of causing a rapid advance in
prices. The market is now i a
feverish state of excitement, and
dealers anticipate many fluctuations
before the end of the present month
While it is foregone conclusion
tnat the New York crop, while not a
failure, will be far below the average
yield, reports from England and
Germany are to the effect that the
outlook for good crop is promising
Hops are now quoted III the local
market from 221 to % cents a pound,
and the absorbing question Is
whether the crops will warrant q
maintenance of such prices. Not q
few of the merchants believe there
will be sudden decline within u
short time, while others, while not
apprehendInS high prices, think it
possible that hops viii set be quoted
at slightly advanced figures. The
condition of the market will largely
depend upon the European crop, and
until full returns are received prices
will be unsteady. It Is believed the
Pacific coast yield will be between
10000 and $4,000 bales.
Yesterday Il merchants said the
crop on the Pacific slope was ne
elected last spring, and in conse
quence he did not look for more than
three quarters of the yield. He be-
hvved, however, that the supply
would be adequate to the demands,
and consequently he did not expect
that there would be any remarkable
advance in prices.
Bat" said he, mo one can be
certain how the market will turn in
the future, for hops are one of the
most unstable products quoted.
About this time last year you could
purchase all the hops you desired
from 6 to cents a pound, and today
the price is advanced about 400 per
cent. on these figures. Hogs were
selling at 81 pound in December,
1882, and in the following May they
were down to l2as cents pound.

The Marquis of Salisbury.

Or<gOaiG",l
Lord Salisbury, the tory leader,
who will succeed Gladstone as prime
minister of England, first rose into
public notice as Lord Robert Cecil,
in 1862; he was the younger son of a
great peer, and at one time was
obliged to depend upon his literary
ability for his bread. He wrote for
the Quarterly Rerie'C and for lead
ing tory newspapers. He became
Lord Cranbourne, and finally Mar.
quis of Salisbury Under Beacons-
field in 1878 he was minister of for
eign affairs. In the orItset of his
career he was described a. man of
brilliant ideas, ready in debate, with
genius for saying ''bitter things in
the bitterest tone," he was rated as
lacking soiidity, canton and large
political information. His gestures
were awkward, his voice harsh; his
tongue rude, and gratuitously otfen-
sive. His yerucity was impeached
after the Berlin treaty, and his at
tempted defense was completely
broken down, and lie WAS disgraced.
He was always an ultra tory, but he
was never trustworthy party man;
his temper is of the rule or ruin quail
ity, and he is hated and feared by
many of his associates, while he is
admired by a few for his undoubted
talents, June 20, 1885, he succeeded
Gladstone rs prime minister, only to
quickly give way to him, as the leader
of the liberal Parneli coalition. This
coalition beaten at tho polls, Sails
bury is again the leader of the oppo-
sition to Gladstone. An interval of
thirty-tive days must elapse between
the dissolution of one parliament and
the assembling of another Glad
stone will probably follow the prece.
dent created by Disraeli in 1868, fol
lowed by himself in 1874, and con
frmed by Beaconsfield in 1880; that
is, he viii resign office, so as to ALLOW
a new ministry to be formed and fix Il
convenient date for the meeting of
parliament This procedure began
with Disraeli, and is now considered
constitutional usage.
