BY PRESS NEWS ASSOCIATION.

NEW YORK, May 14.-The steamer Servia, about which some anxiety has been felt, arrived safely this morning. The steamer was somewhat delayed at Queens, town by fogs, but from that time until within forty eight hours of Sandy Hook, where she was again detained by fogs, she had an uneventfu1 trip, and the passengers cannot imagine how rumors of her loss arose. She had eleven hundred and three passengers.

But He Couldn't Break Champ1On Al.
 bert's Record-He Will Receive S5,OOO.
 Guerrero Twenty Miles Behind.
 NEW YORK, May 14-The great six day go-as-you-please walking match, which be- gan at midnight of the 9th in Madison Square garden, ended Saturday night.
 Lttlewood, the Englishman, won the race, making ell miles and 9 laps He ran for Al hours, Al minutes and 50 seconds. He rested 22 hours, minutes and AT seconds.
 Considerable disappointment was expressed among the spectators because he did not break Champion Albert's wonderful record made in February.
 Guerrero finished second and Herty third, Guerrero ran Al hours and 49 minutes, resting 24 hours and 25 minutes, and Herty ran Al hours and 49 minutes, resting M hours and % minutes
 It was announced that the gross receipts reached the ncighborhood of $20, ,000, which will give the walkers s10,0O0 to divide. Of this Littlewood gets half; Guerrero, $2.0OO; Herty, S1, 800; Noremac, $1, 800, and Golden. $500. These figures may be reduced or in creased little, but Mir. Colville said that he could not go any closer Saturday night, and that the above figures were pretty near cor rect.
 Probably the best indication of the effect their efforts had on the men will be shown by the small headway they made in the final hours. Littlewood only made three miles and three laps in the last two hours; Guer- rero did little better-four miles and two laps. But he looked miserable. There were big black circles about his eyes. Littlewood's face was bright and without the haggardness that characterized the vrsages of his rivals. Still was he very slow. Hughes was like a man who hal been stricken with paralysis Yet he would not yield oven to exhausted nature He kept coming out of his hut and hobbling around the track with marvellous

Six of our great Territories are
knocking at the door of Congress for
admission to the rights and dignity
Observation-Disclosures, of Montana,
New Mexico, Utah, and northern and
southern Dakota. They all claim a
population sufficient to entitle them
to representation in the lower House,
and, with the exception of Utah,
there is no reason other than political
why their claim should not be re-
spected. The cases of Washington
Montana have already been favorably
acted upon by the Senate, and the
bills for their admission will readily
pass the House. Utah will probably
be excluded until the Mormon dis
ability is effectually removed, The
Democratic proclivities of New Mex
leo ought not to be barrier to her
immediate reception. The real diff
Guilty is with DakOta-whether she
shall come in as a single state, or
carved into two; whether, in the
event of her being divided, only the
southern part shall be admitted, or
both the southern and the northern.
1t is high time this latter question
was settled. To deny statehood to
a territory which has a population
large enough to entitle it to four
seats in the House of Representatives,

WHAT AM TO Do?-The symptoms of bilious
ness are unhappily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent. A bilious
man is seldom breakfast eater. Too frequently,
alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of morning. His tongue viii hard
ly bear inspection at any time if il is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly OF order and
diarrhea or consumption may be a symptom the
two may alternate. There are often heLlorrhoids
or even loss of blood There may be giddness and
often headache and aoidity or hauence and tender
in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect cure try Green's August Flower, il
costs but trihe and thousands attest its efficacy

1t is announced at Washington
that the action of Secretary Whit
ney in ordering the Richmond, Ga
lena and Yantic to prepare an eXpe-
didition to Hayti, is due not so much
to an absolute refusal on the part
of the government to comply with
the request for the release of the
seized American vessel, as to the
dilatory tactics adopted by the Hay
tien authorities in dealing with the
question. The position taken by
this government is understood to be
that as the Haytien authorities de-
ferred the arbitration of the case to
this government, they are virtually
bound by this decision, and that
when they were informed by this
government that they had no legal
right to seize the Haytien Republic,
they should have acknowledged the
situation and released the vessel.
While they have not refused TO do
this, they are, it is said, acting in
such a procrastinating way as to in
dicate a strong disinclination to ac-
cept the judgment against them.

The victory won by the Republican
and independent citizens of Boston
on Tuesday is one of the most signifi-
cant political events of the year.
Mr.. Hart, the republican candidate
for mayor, has a majority of POO in
the largest vote ever polled in that
city. He is q man of high standing
and fine executive ability, with con-
sidrable experience in municipal
affairs. He came near defeating Mr..
O'Brien last year. The vote stood
Thomas n. Hart, Republican and
citizen candidate, 33,195; Hugh
O'Brien, Democrat, 50, 0,494; Harris
majority, 27O1.
Great interest was attached to the
election of the school committee. A
fierce agitation has been going on in
Boston during the past year over the
public school question, which was
greatly aggravated by the exclusion of
a we'll known text book from the
public schools. This agitation per-
vaded all classes, and influenced 20,-
900 women to register. The Repub-
lican ticket for school committee was
indorsed by a Committee of 100, and
it is estimated that $1,000 women
voted. The entire Republican ticket
was elected.
The boards of aldermen and council
are also Republican.

A Republican Majority.

The political complexion of the fif-
ty-first congress, which has been de-
batable since election, appears to be
settled at last. The attempt to wrest
the third Tennessee district from the
republican column has failed. Gov
ernor Taylor, although democrat,
was not to be caught going behind
the returns, as a democratic govern
or in this state went behind the re-
turns a few years ago. He recogniz-
ed both the law and the equity, de-
Gliding to give the certificate to Hen
ry Clay Evans, the republican candi-
date, though the democratic manag-
ers tried hard to indnce him to adop t
the reverse policy. This district was
necessary to a democratic majority
of one in the House.
Another attempt to capture re-
publican district after the election
had gone against them was in the
fourth Maryland district. Mr.. Stock.
bridge, a young journalist, had
clear though small majority on the
face Of the returns. Governor Jack
son has been besieged ever since this
fact became known, to join the con-
spirators in counting in the democrat
ic candidate. He has utterly refused
to become party to any such high
handed proceeding. He has decided
that the certificate belongs to the re-
publican candidate and has issued it
accordingly.
With the above action all hope of
a democratic majority in the fifty-f1rst
congress vanishes, whatever may be
the results in the debatable districts
in North Carolina and West Virginia.
Should the contests there be decided
in favor of the democratic candi-
dates,t republicans would still have
a majority of two or three in the
House. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, that the democratic governors
of these states will care to smirch
themselves by throwing both law and
equity to the winds. But we shall
see.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
W0shtnQtOn. Dec. IOth.

W03htnqtOf, lee. LOth.
A stir occurred in the house of
representatives on Friday when it was
rumored that the democrats had cap
tured the next congress. This was
shortly discovered to be unfounded,
and routine business was resumed.
The republicans are very anxious
however, and feel that only the finest
management can secure the organlza-
ton of the fifty-first congress, if the
majority be as is expected, only one.
The extra session becomes an una
voidable necessity to the republican
party, in order that the organization
of the House may be completed and
contested elections settled as soon as
possible.
Hon. Daniel Dougherty bro't his
charming presence and magnificent
voice to Washington and lectured
Friday night. The president did not,
for some reason, go to hear the ora
toI who nominated him at ST. Louis,
but every one else of note seemed to
be present. Mr.. Dougherty said in
a private interview that he could we'll
understand why great orators do not
care to become members of the House.
His opinion is that the average man
is not in congress long enough to
make an impression. There is too
much ''rotation in office" The days
when the South sent Clay and Cal
houn and the North sent Webster to
congress as long as they could come,
are over. The structure of the halls
of congress is, in Mr.. Dougherty's
opinion, destructive of debate. The
great galleries are not suited to great
deliberative bodies. The members
hould be closer together, the men,
bers of the House should take their
feet off their desks, and there should
be less difficulty in securing the floor.
The present arrangements, by which
the floor is promised by the speaker
weeks in advance, is fatal to oratOry.
The record of postal clerks who
have rified letters exhibits a queer
lot of alleged temptations as leading
to such crimes. Postal clerks who
steal are mostly gamblers and not a
small class are tempted to steal in
order to win lewd women's smiles. A
Georgetown postmaster stole money
from letters to pay his pew rent. One
railway postal clerk used the money
to be married. Another stole for the
purpose of spending a week at Cape
May-and this after he had been in
the service fifteen years and had
good record.
But it remained for youth of
twenty, named Adams, appointed
four months ago through civil SER
vice examination, as a petty clerk in
the Washington post-office to break
the record. This young man was
discovered with the evidence of his
guilt in his pocket. When asken why
he became dishonest, he said, 81 was
so fond of waltzing, and | wanted to
become a better waltzer." And now
he will have to learn the prison lock-
step. The local papers lay stress
upon the fact that he was ''well rails |
ed," and yet to my simple mind there
WAS 4 flaw in his training.

Miss Frances +. Willard, president
of the National w. G.. Il. L., desires
it to be known that the statement so
generally made in the press to the ef-
feet that the w. G. L. L. requires
its members to lend their influence to
the Prohibition party, or if they dc
not declares them disloyal, is totally
incorrect. Members are left free as
TO their political affiliations, and a
resolution to the contrary was voted
down without debate at the recent
New York convention. The large
majority believe in the prohibition
party and so declare by resolution,
but the minority are free to dissent,
and always have been.

With Congressman Oates unblush


With Congressman Oates unblush-

black man, and with Governor Rich
ardson, of South Carolina, feeling
impelled to declare, in his inaugural
address, determination, as fixed
and immOvable as the stars i'm heaven,
that never again shall any other than
Anglo-SaXon supremacy rule the
destiny of this fair, beloved, and
beautiful South land of ours,' we
have an undisguized statement of
what ''the solid South is resolved
upon as the solution of the race prob
lem. The negro shall not rule his
votes shall not be counted his politi-
cal rights shall be practically, if not
legally, taken away. The position is
certainly a serious one. The races
have fallen apart. The mulatto is
dying out. Even to use Senator In
gals description, the blacks are
growing blacker, and the whites
winter. The color line is more sharp
ly drawn than ever. The blacks pre-
fer their own schools, churches and
associations. Instead of the respect
which their growth in intelligence
was expected to inspire in the whites,
the prejudice has grown deeper and
more bitter. Whether the outcome
will be ga catastrophe, or a gradual
yielding on the part of the whites to
a sense of justice and fairness, no
prophet can tell.-ZiOn's Herald.

The report of the secretary of the
interior shows that some eighty-three
million acres of land have been re-
covered to the public domain through
the forfeiture of railway grants and
cancellation of private entries for
Ea: inus causes. This is equivalent
ho half the area of Texas or three
times the area of Ohio. Upwards of
fifty millions of this vast area were
recovered from the railroads and
there are still some sixty-fve million
acres in the hands of persons or COM
Hpanies that have no legal or moral
Fright to the land. In the recovery of
this immense domain both political
parties have co-operated. The good
work Of protecting the peoples lands
has been one of the few instances in

The most significant item in the re-
port of the secretary of the treas
urery is the comparative statement
of our merchandise exports and inn
ports. Our exports for the last fis-
cal year fell off more than Sl9 9,000,-
600. The aggregate was S683, ,862, 900.
Our imports, on the other had, in
creased S31, 900, 900, the aggregate
being 1928 100000. Here is a bal
ance against us of $40, 900 which
has has had to be paid in gold or
bonds. 1t is plain that a reduction
of the tariff would let in more for
eign merchandise, displacing our own
products in the home market, and
increasing the balance on the wrong
side. This a rich country and our
people are prosperous, but our riches
would take wings and our prosperity
be changed to adversely if this sort
of buying and selling should long
continue. A national panic and
collapse would be necessary to save
ourselves, just as was the case in
'37, 81 and '73. The present con-
dition of buying abroad more than
we sell preceded each of these years,
and the resulting panics were really
blessings in disguise.
