Miss Mary l.. Seymour, who has one
of the largest typewriting and steno-
graphing establishments in New y DIRK,
says that women make better type
writers than men, and quite as good
stenographers.
Bon Ingersoll says that the pulpit
is the pretense of honesty and the
stage the honesty of pretense. Hav-
ing used up his antithesis he must
say, when speaking of the lecture plat
form, that it has neither pretense nor
honesty.
On the 2lst inst. the thermometer
at Key West, Florida, registered y
degrees above zero, and at Chippewa
Falls, Wisconsin, 6S degrees below, or
a difference of 40 degrees. The diff
ference in miles between the ATTITUDES
of the two places is only about 1000
miles. If this doesn't show that the
United States is capable of showing
a variety of weather, then We fail to
see how better showing could be
made.
A NEW departure in the line of relic
worship has been taken at Chicago.
Preliminary steps for the formation Of
a corporation whose object is to pur-
chase and remove to that city the
famous Libby prison, of Richmond,
Virginia, were taken there the other
day. The building is of red brick,
three stories high and covered with an
old fashioned gable roof. 1t contains
about 100000 bricks. Competent
architects say it can be taken down,
removed to Chicago and rebuilt just as
it stands bodily. 1t will be taken down
in sections, boxed up and. brohght by
rail. When erected in Chicago the
building will be surrounded by an
other buildings 200 by $50 feet with
glass roof.
The issue between the two great
parties, thanks to President Cleveland,
is clearly defined. The Democrats
favor a tariff for revenue. with in
cidcntal protection; the Republicans
advocate tariff for protection, with
incidental revenue The one believes
in a government that protects the rich,
that the rich may care for the poor;
the other favors government that,
knowing no classes, gives equal rights
to all. "Take care of the pennies"
said the wise Franklin, "and the dol
lars will care for themselves" The
proverb, so good for private economy,
is good for political affairs. Look
after the rights of the citizen, and
the millionaire will look out for him

PoRT Angeles has o railroad boom.
1t is said to be the intention of the
Southern Pacific company to extend
the Oregon & California limo to Astoria
and to have ferry across the Column
bia river to Bakers Bay in Washing
ton Territory; then q railroad along
the sea-board of the Territory to Port
Angeles. This will give the company
the control Of the Pacific Coast sea-
board from Vancouver Island to San
Diego. The new road will pass through
a new country, which for the most
part is unsettled, but there are large
tracts of prairie land and big bodies Of
timber along the route. 1t will also
pass through the Quillayute country,
which o: itself is quite large farming
and stock-raising district.

an interview with a. hundred and
seventy-nine Democratic members of
Congress, in regard to the place for
holding the next Democratic Nation
al Convention. Thirty-five members
express themselves in favor of New

are for San Francisco, thirty for
Chicago, twenty-five for St. Louis and
fourteen for Cincinnati. Others are
non-committal or divided among the
cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Bos-

ton, Louisville and Richmond. San
Francisco receives the majority of
votes for second choice. The result
shows that the strongest feeling for
San Francisco comes from the south

WASHINGTON, October 16. = In the
House after the appointment of House
members of the joint committee to in
vestigate the alleged mismanagement in
the Washington aqueduct tunnel matter,
Oates, of Alabama, called up his resolu-
ton for final adjournment on the 18th
inst. He offered an amendment liking
the date for the 18th.
Sowden, of Pennsylvania, moved to
make the date the Oath.
Richardson, of Tennessee, moved to
refer it to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Oates said he had previously offered
an adjournment resolution; it was re-
ferred to the Ways and Means Commit
tee and never reported back.
Mcmillan of that Committee said every
Democrat in the country admitted that
it was a wise thing that the Committee
did not report it back. Had the resolu-
ton been passed Congress would have
adjourned before the Senate Committee
had reported its Tariff bill and the House
bill would have been fred at during the
campaign. Now the Senate admitted
that there should be a reduction OF
$73, 100000
SBreckiuridge, of Kentucky, moved to
postpone further consideration of the
resolution until tomorrow. Agreed to,

SAN FRANCISCO, October 16.--A strange
tale of hardships of sea voyage which
ends in unveiling the mystery OF mur-
der in this city two years ago, just comes
to hand. Last Sunday evening the
British ship Childwell, Captain Watson,
arrived here, two hundred and twenty
nine days from Bombay, but being i'm
mediately ordered into quarantine, little
was lenrned of her voyage until
now. A few days after leaving
Bombay the captain discovered that
there were several stowaways
on board. They were set to work, but it
was soon found that they were conspir-
ing with the crew to overpower the Off
GERS and take command of the ship.
Meeting the ship Matterhorn, Watson
arranged to have this ship take charge Of
the stowaways. On looking for the stow
aways, one Of them Knocked down the
chief officer with crowbar and tried to
stranple him. The second officer,
in assisting was nearly choked to

the forehold, when the stowaways
charged on and nearly killed him with
missiles. He went down, however, and
after struggle and the firing OF several
shots by the Captain, they were over
powered and placed on the Matterhorn.
Then the crew mutinied. Later they de-
manded that the ship be taken to Hong
kong. saying she was unseaworthy. The
Captain refused, when they broke open
the galley door and killed and cooked
the live stock. The storm coming up the
crew were again ordered to work, but
instead showed fight, and only
at the point of Winchester rifles were
again locked up in the forecastle. The
storm had caused the vessel to leak and
for two days the captain and small
crew ran the vessel without a man OF
them closing an eye in sleep. Thence
the captain sailed for Manila and had
the ship repaired and the crew still re-
fusing to work, they and the ship were
ordered to Hongkong. There the crew
was found guilty and were given
various sentences. After starting
with new crew Tor this
port, typhoon struck them. Most Of
the crew were taken sick. One fell from
a topsail, breaking an arm. Another
knocked his hip out of joint. The seas
tore away nearly every sail: A fresh
supply of poultry and live stock were all
drowned. The typhoon lasted three
days. Afterward the vessel experienced
a heavy shock of earthquake,
causing the crew to be-
come frightened, thinking she had struck
a rock. When near the coast of Japan
another typhoon was encountered, which
tore away second part OF the sails. The
Captain says: verify believed I would
never reach land. When near the
Hawaiian Island the ship was struck by
a western gale which stove in the
cabin and deck houses, and swept

SAN Francisco, October 16.-Deputy
Surveyor Fogarty in letter to Surveyor
of Customs Tinnin, states that while on
board the British steamer Duke of West
minister. yesterday, prior to her
departure for Vancouver, B. c., he
found that receipts and tags for identifi-
cation were being issued by mail
agents OF the Canadian Pacific company
to certain of the Chinese who arrived
here on the vessel but were denied land
ing under the Exclusion act. Further
inquiry led to the disclosure that fifty-two
of such Chinese passengers were to be
landed atYancouver, their respective COM
panies having sent $50 to each, or 81, 600
in all, to pay the head tax exacted by the
British Columbia authorities to entitle
them to land. The master of the vessel
informed him that the Chinese would be
landed at Vancouver. In pursu-
ance of this arrangement, Deputy
Surveyor Fogarty expresses him
self satisfied that these Chinese intend
to enter the United States by surrept-
itiously crossing the border, thus evading
the operations of the Exclusion Act, and
suggests that steps be taken to prevent
them from so doing. Collector Hagar
said this afternoon that he had wired
the Collector of Customs at Port Town
send and other ports at which the
Duke of Westminster may touch,
and thinks by this means he may
prevent any attempt on the part of the
Chinese to evade the customs authori-
ties. The Collector has issued an order
that no Chinaman, other than laborer,
shall be allowed landing, except under
a certificate issued by the Chinese Gov
eminent, under the provisions of the Re-
striction act of 1882.
