Married on the Rail.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Los ANGELES March 12.-County Clerk Duns-
moor was realty surprised Ionday afternoon
81 receiving the following telegram from Santa
Ana:
train tonight with marriac5 license blank?
'SlGRAlD A. QUALE"
Clerk Dunsmoor was astonished, but was on
hand when the train rolled in IRON the SOUTH
and rather pale, but still handsome, young
gentleman lcaped from the front platform OF
the Pullman and hurried toward him. There
were a few questions and answers, and the
stranger had taken the oath and the blank was
in his possession.
IL 90 happened that aboard the train-in the
same Pullman, in fact-was eX-Chief of Police
Davis, who was on his way to Pasadena. Mr.
Davis takes a paternal interest in young people
about TO be married. and he found no difficulty
in entering into CONVEX alton with the pros
pective groomsman. lie learned that Quale
was a young easterner who had quailed before
the rigors OF the climate of his Wisconsin homs
and fled to California for his health II. was
very wealthy. During his short stay here he
had regained vigor but mad looked into the
laughing eyes OF one Of Santa Ana daughters
and lost his heart there. He was now on his
way home again proposing 10 get married oy
the way. Why he did not get married before
starting is still an unsettled question
by the way" said Chief Davis, will you be
married in Pasadena"
NO" replied Quae. ''The train does not
stop long enough there, We will wait till we
reach San Bernardino."
but your marriage license is no good
there having been issued in Los Angeles
county"
The look that came over the young man face
was ptiful, but the Information was correct,
and he did not know what TO do. Davis, taking
pity upon him, promised to hunt up a minister
or Justice during the brief time thst the train
remained at Pasadena. Arriving there, Mr.
Davis hurried out and saw upon the depot plat
form "a gentleman whose looks were clerical but
who was n stranger TO him.
Are you a milisterf" Davis asked
YES sir, replied the stranger
Then" said Davis, there Is a young
couple in that car who want to see you very
badly"
The minister leaped upon the train without
hesitation. The conductor gave the signal to
90 ahead The train moved out. Young Ouale
and his bride stood up, and, while the cars were
swiftly clrcling the bend to Lamanda Park, the
marriage service was recited to the accompani-
ment of the rattle of the wheels over the rails.
IL was the first marriage on record on a rail-
way train Ina motion in this county and
whether IL was an elopement or not rs as yet
unknown, for Santa Ana has not been heard
from.

A Lame Explanation.

Mr.. Cole, the speaker of the New York
assembly, has been thought to be, by his
admirers, a very shrewd young politician
1t is doubtful il they think so any longer
1t has been suspected that he is in some
way connected with the ceiling fraud that
has agitated New York politicians to such
an alarming extent for two or three months,
and the insinuations to that effect led him
to make a speech in tie assembly in defense
of himself the other day. One of the state
ments that he undertook to explain was
that he had an unusually large amount of
money to expend in the last election, and it
was limited that this money was his share of
the profits of the ceiling fraud In his de-
Tense Mr. Cole said that he did distribute a
good deal of money during the last cam
paign; that he obtained it from the republi-
can state committee and that he spent it in
influencing Questionable voters"
Mr.. Cole has been trying to explain since
he made his speech that he did not mean
that he used the money to buy voters, but
in hiring halls, paying speakers and send
ing carriages for voters who were not able
TO walk to the polls. 1t may be that Mr..
he will not be able to convince the public
that he did not mean that he used the
money in buying the votes that were for
SALE He understands the meaning of words
too well to have made the mistake of calling
those who are Influenced by campaign
speakers, and who are brought to the polls
in carriages because of their inability to
walk, questionable voters.
II Mr.. Coles political career is not virtu-
ally ended, the people of New York have
less respect for honest methods in political
matters than they are supposed to have
If the committee which is investigating the
ceiling fraud does its work honestly and
intelligently, it may make Mr.. Coles posi-
ton very uncomfortable one, notwith-
standing it is believed that be is virtually
in his political coffin.

A Chance for piplomatists.

II is not improbable that the Presidents
proclamation, warning all persons against
entering Behring sea, within the dominion
of the United States, for the purpose of
killing fur seals in the waters of Alaska,
without the authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury, will give Mr. Blaine some
thing to do very soon. Canada is already
showing considerable feeling with respect to
it. because, If it is enforced, good many
Of her citizens will be deprived of very
profitable employment. Doubtless other
countries will enter their protest in the in
terest of those of their people who go to
Behring sea for fur seals.
The proclamation does not claim exclu-
sive jurisdiction over Behring sea. That
matter is left for future determination. 1t
is quite clear. however, that it is the pur-
pose of the administration to protect the
fur seal fisheries of this country in Alaskan
waters The question of jurisdiction is
pretty certain to be raised soon. An Ameri-
can war vessel has been ordered to Behring
sea, and it is probable that she will soon
begin Furnishing marauders, and then the
extent of the dominion of the United
States in that sea will have to be deter
mined
There is no doubt that the rights of this
country with respect to the fur seal fisheries
have been encroached upon. Frequently
vessels are discovered taking seals in Alas
kan waters, and it is said that unless some
thing is done to protect the seals they will
soon become as SARGE there as the buffaloes
are on the western plains. More than a
year ago England indicated a Willingness to
join in protecting the seals, but she may
not be willing to concede to this country as
extensive jurisdiction as this government is
disposed to claim.
The Presidents proclamation may have
an important bearing upon the fisheries dis
pute that has so long been the subject Of ne
gotiation between this country and Eng
land. 1t is construed by some to be a
denial of the same right which this country
claims with respect to the Canadian fish
cries. OF course this country could hardly
claim the right to catch fish in the Cana.
dian waters while denying the Canadians
the right to take seals in Alaskan waters.
There is an impression that the Alaska
Fur and Seal Company, which has the ex-
elusive right from this government to take
seals in Alaskan waters, secured in a rather
surreptitious manner the legislation upon
which the proclamation is based. Its con-
tract will expire within year, and it is
trying to have it renewed 1t tried through
| ont the whole Of the last congress to get
legislation that would strengthen it in its
privileges. but it met with poor success until
| toward the close of the last session it sue
ceeded in getting attached to a bill relating
| to the salmon fisheries of Alaska an amend
ment which virtually compels the govern
ment to protect it in its efforts to keep all
others, whose object is to catch fur seals,
out Of Behring sea. Doubtless this COM
pany has good reasons for expecting that il
will get for another term of years the ex-
| elusive right to catch seals in Alaskan
| waters.

No Places for Colored People.

1t has often been remarked that the self
constituted champions of the colCred people
seldom show their philanthropic intentions
in a practical manner. They want others
to do for the colored people what they
themselves are unwilling to do. They de-
mand rights and privileges for them, but
they don't want to come in contact with
them.
The leaders of the Republican party are
never tired # lecturing the south about tine
negroes, aud pointing out instances in
which there is discrimination against them
Nobody ever heard of these leaders Offering
the colored people anything. They do not
say that representative colored men should
be given good offices, and they do not en-
courage any closer association with colored
people who have education and weatl.
1t is stated that Mrs. Harrison has turned
all the colored servants out of the white
house, and filled their places with white
ones. Some of these colored people have
been in the white house for many years,
and have come to regard it as their home
They are not wanted there now, however
A republican leader is in possession, and
while he talks alphabetically about the
colored race, neither he nor his family de-
sire any of that race in their home. Under
the Harrison regime all the white house
servants will be white, except perhaps the
coachman, and he is retained simply be-
cause he has held the place so long he has
become a sort of fixture. If the President
In making appointments follows the same
policy that Mrs. Harrison has adopted, no
colored folks need apply to this admin istra-
ton.

New Orleans Excited.

New Orleans is very much excited over
the chance she thinks she has of getting the
navy yard that is to be established on the
South Atlantic or Gulf coast 1t is under
stood that she has a representative in
Washington to look out for her interests
there, and she has requested that Maj.
Boyd, of the government coast survey,
shall be sent to New Orleans to tell the com
mission what he knows about her harbor.
She has also a committee that is getting to-
gether statistics for the commission.
OF course New Orleans has a chance for
getting the navy yard, but it is undoubt-
eddy a very slender one. The place for the
navy yard is on the Atlantic coast, not the
Gulf coast Vessels at New Orleans have
10 sail hundreds of miles before reaching
the ocean, ard a Part of the distance is over
a rather dangerous course.
There is another objection to New
Orleans that may prove to be iusurmount-
able. 1t is that the river at New Orleans is
l6 feet higher when it is swollen by a
freshet than it is at its ordinary low stage.
How would it be- possible to build docks
low enough to meet the demands upon them
during the low stage of the river?
No, New Orleans will not do. She is
great and prosperous city, but she is not
the place for the navy yard. Savannah
has just the advantages needed, as the COM
missioners will discover when they reach
here There is not much doubt that the
commissioners began their inspection with
the idea that Port Royal possessed greater
advantages than any other place. but il
they have not got rid of that idea they
doubtless will when they have visited Sa-

1t is stated that the Rev. Sam W. Small
will probably be a candidate for congress
from the Fifth Georgia district next year,
and that he ill depend upon the prohibit
tlonists and the republicans to elect him. A
republican newspaper. commenting on this.
says that there can be no doubt that Mr..
Small would sweep the district, as he has
the nerve to make an aggressive campaign
1t win be remembered, however, that Mr.
Small made an aggressive campaign for
state senator from the Atlanta district last
year, and that he was defeated. The peo-
pie Of this state are not going to send him
to congress as long as his course has ten
disney to divide the Democratic party of
the state, and it is doubtful if they would
elect him TO Office under any circum-
stances.

Secretary Noble Explains Himself

from Tie ST. louis Globe Denl0crdt.
rather good story is out on Secretary Noble.
Several months ago he wrote letter to Maj.
Warner, then a representative in congress,
stating that he thought Missouri was entitled to
place in the cabinet, and asking Warner if
he would not like to have such position. The
latter replied that he had decided to retire from
pub ic life in order to devote himself to his law
practice He also said that it would probably
be BEST to adhere to this determination. Noble
then wrote another letter to Warner, stating
that no doubt the latter was right in refusing to
accept a public position. Afterward Mr.. Noble,
Unexpectedly to himself, was made Secretary
Of the Interior. 1t not until yesterday,
however, that he recalled this correspondence
with Maj. Warner, an he at once sat down and
wrote to the major as follows:
When said you were perfectly right in keep
ing away from the house, had no idea of court
