A Disgruntled Consul.

Mr. Harold n. Sewall, whose resignation
as sul-general to Samoa has been re-
quested by Secretary Bayard, does not
seem TO think he has been fairly treated By
the secretary 1t is natural Of course that
he should feel aggrieved. There is no reason
to doubt that he has acted in a straightfor-
ward manner in all that he has done in
connection with his Office, but he does not
seem TO be exactly the right man to repre-
sent this country in Samoa at this time. He
may have plenty Of ability and his integrity
may be beyond doubt, but ne lacks tact and
Judgment.
He seems to think that his resignation
was requested because he criticised the Sec
rotary of State in the testimony which he
gave before the Senate committee. 1t was
hardly the proper thing for him to do tc
criticise the acts Of his chief and question
their wisdom. He could have given the
facts within his knowledge without at
tempting to show that the policy of the
state department was a mistaken one. How
ever, it is by no means certain that his re-
signation was requested because of his
testimony before the Senate committee,
although in that testimony he showed q
lack of sympathy with the Samoan policy
of the Secretary of State, and the best re-
suits could hardly be expected from the
efforts of an official who did not approve
of the course he was required to pursue.
Doubtless the real reason for Mr.. Sawalrs
removal was his tendency to mark out a
policy of his own in dealing with Samoan
ma ters. Bismarck frequently complained
Of his acts, and from all accounts he was a
source of great deal of annoyance to the
state department. If he had been permitted
to return to Samoa, he might have retarded
the settlement of the differences between
this country and Germany growing out of
the condition of affairs there. 1t is prooa-
bic that in removing Mr.. Sewall the Secre-
tary of State rendered both the present and
the incoming administration good service.

In the November election a number of
colored people of Richmond, Va, by direc-
ton of the republican candidate for con-
gress, deposited their ballots in a special
box, because the election managers would
not receive them. These ballots were ex-
amined the other day. and the republicans
decided that the ballots would have elected
the republican candidate if they had been re-
ceived. OF course they will be used in a
contest for the democrats seat. A special
to the New York Tribune says: "These
ballots would have been cast for Judge
Waddill republican, but for the fact that
the Bourbons kept them back by asking
foolish and frivolous questions of every
voter who presented himself at the polls"

There is great uncertainty IN Penn
/ sylvania whether the prohibition amend
rrent to the constitution in that state will
be ad pied or not. The election occurs in
/ June. and the campaign for and against the
amendment is already an interesting and
+ exciting one. The prohibitionists are max
ing a strong and effective canvass. and the
drift of public sentiment throughout the
state appears to be in their favor. There is
no doubt that the great majority Of tho
law-abiding and misunderstanding people
favor the amendment, and will not only
vote for it, but Will do their utmost 10 get
votes for it,
The politicians are not saying a great
deal They don't know what to say. Some
of them would like TO deal prohibition
blow, but they do not dare to, because the
prohibition am andment may be adopted, and
they would have very little ch ance then for
further political prefermelt Others would
ike to lend prohibition helping hand, but
they recognize the fact that they might not
be on the winning side, and their political
prospects might be seriously damaged. As
general thing the politicians are keeping
out Of the fight. AS the contest
is not bet Heen the Democratic ard Repub-
lean parties, it is not absolutely necessary
that they should take an active part in the
campaign. If they DO not do so, however,
and the prohibitionists win, a new set of
politicians will come to the front in Penn
syvania.
The prohibitiouist3 have many strong
arguments TO offer in favor of the adoption
of the amendment None of them are
stronger, however, than those offered by
Gov. Martin of Kansas, in bis recent mes
sage to the legislature Of that state. Kan
sas is prohibition state and, according
to the governor, has been greatly bene-
fitted by prohibition. In his message
be says that the saloon has been abolished,
and that crime has been diminished in q re-
markabls degree. Although the population
of the state has increased marvelously since
the saloons were closed, the number of
criminals in the penitentiarY and county
jails has steadily decreased. In fact, many
of the jails are without a single prisoner,
and in some of the cities of tie second and
third classes the police authorities have moth
ing to do. The business in the police courts
cities it amounts to nothing. la the higher
courts the criminal docket might as well be
abolished because it very seldom contains
criminal case. In the judicial district in
which Topeka, the capital of the state, is
situated, there was not a criminal case on
the docket at the last term of court, al
though the district contains 10000 inhabi-
tants.
The prohibitionists are presenting such
facts as these and they are making pro-
found impression. They might get other
facts, equally as strong, from the prohibi-
ton counties Of this state. If they should
succeed in placing Pennsylvania in the pro-
hibition column, Notwithstanding the large
anti-prohibition vote Of Philadelphia, the
prohibition movement would at once show
an immense gain in strength in all parts of
the country. In fact, it is almost certain
that other states would soon adopt prohibi-
ton amendments

And there is fire in every eye,
And love and gratitude they bring
As tribute unto me, a king!

Know not tits king they meet,

Captured by Comanches.

l had been scouting from Fort Bascom,
en- the Canadian River, and carrying de-
spatchcs between that point and Fort
Stanton, on the Rio Pecos, for six
months, before the Comanches called the
turn on me. 1t is agreed that an Apache
is fend incarnate, but in the old DAYS
there wasn't much choice between the
tribes. All were bloodthirsty and re-
lentless, and it mattercd little into whose
hands prisoner might fall. Every tor
ture which ingenuity ,ould suggest was
certain to be applied, and no ranso,l,
however great, could effect the release of
prisoner. 1t was while engaged in such
an effort that my first capture came
about.
A party of citizens from Santa Fc had
come out Fort Bascom for hunt along
the Canadian River to the east. They
were all well-known men, and were out.
fitted in the finest style, having the best
OF firearms, and being accompanied by
four hunters and guides of long exper-
ience. The Indians were bitterly hostile
at this time, and although seldom seen
near the fort, they were ever on the
watch for any one leaving its shelter.
This party numbered twenty, all told, ,and
was strong enough to go anywhere, pro-
viding it was well handled. 1t left the
post one Sunday morning and was gone
three weeks, and, up to two days before
reaching the post, all went well. Then
DR.. Albertson, of Albuquerque, tarried
behind one morning as the party broke
camp, and three Comanches dashed in
and cut him of. They mounted him on
his own horse and had start of half a
mile before the mishap was discovered,
and, although pursuit was made, it was
! useless. The Doctor was man of
prominence, holding some position under
the Government, and having many
friends, and the party no sooner reached
the post than it was determined to make
every effort to secure his release. 1t was
idle to think of sending out an armed
force, and it was finally decided that
should go out as an emissary to treat for
his ransom. 1t was agreed that should
promise the Indians as high as $40, 900
in cash for his release, and all were hone
full that this large sum would induce the
redskins to give him up. 1 had been

A Snake Steals a Boat.

Captain A. B. Couldwell had an inter-
esting and unusual experience for this
latitude with a snake at Wigton's Point
the other day. He was fishing in the
creek. and had occasion TO go ashore, and,
after tying his small string of perch to
the stern of the boat, the Nellie c., he
pulled her upon the beach. Half an hour
later he returned, but just in time to see
his priced boat moving slowly toward the
center of the stream. Without second
thought he rushed into the water, through
the wild rice, and leaped into the boat.
The mystery which had shrouded the
affair was dissolved when he discovered
that monstrous snake had swallowed
one of the perch and had towed the boat
out. Couldwell got little excited. he
seized an unwieldy punt pole, and, with
well-directed aim, struck the snake
across the back, which had the effect Of
breaking the stringer but enraged the
snake. ''It whirled and started for the
occupants of the boat with an open
mouth, said Cauldwell, "thstwould take
in a forty y-fve-cent watermelon" 2aA
The other occupant of the boat, hn
young daughter, became frightened, ana
thought of all the wonderful pictures seen
in show bills where oxen are represented
as being devoured by these enormous rep
tiles. Couldwell took to the oars; this
gave the snake new courage, and he was
soon alongside and forced an anchorage.
Couldwell's good nature vanished, anu
with the strength of a Hercules he struck
the, snake upon the head, following up
this advantage with well-aimed blows
until he beheld his adversary slain before
him. 1t measured seven and half feet,

The New York Commercial AdrertiScr
observes that photography has disclosed
the existence of ncbula! in quarters of the
heavens where previously none had been
seen even with the aid of the most pow
erful telescopes. Its aid has now been
successfully called in to detect the errors
Of witnesses where error was as little sus-
pected as ncbula. In the inquest at
Rochester, n. Y, into the recent Forest
Lawn railway accident, several witnesses
had testified that the engineer Of the ex-
press train that caused the wreck and loss
of life had reversed his lever before the
collision occurred. A photograph of the
wreck was produced at the inquest, and
showed that the rod running from the
lever to the shaft was operating so as to
move the train forward instead of back
ward. Witnesses may be mistaken, but
photograph always tells the truth.
