In London-some of the Big Bugs who
Escaped tho Police.
LONDON, May 1O.-The arrest OF num-
erous lords and gentlemen at the Field
Gambling Club is still talked about. 1t
Feems now quite certain that the police
were instgated in the raid by Lady
Dudley, who wished TO give her son q
severe lesson on the folly Of gambling.
He has already been rocked for about
100000 by. the gamblers In the few
months since he became OF age, and his
mother wisely preferred 10 have him
properly humillated to having him d.
vide his fortune with sharps and black
legs.
Other youthful idiots closely allied 10
Cabinet Ministers were caught in the
same way, and the wonderfully decisive
action OF the police was due to their
having orders from the Government.
Sir Charles Russell, the eminent cross.
examiner, had narrow escape. He is
fond Of cards and horses, but goes in for
them sensibly. With his usual bad luck
he had lost a collection Of chips in
which he had invested at the Field, and
went away Just twenty minutes before
the police arrived.
Montague Williams, the police magis-
trate, was not 80 fortunate; he was caught
at the table with q fine collection OF
motheroi.pearl chips that he had won,
and was walked like the rest by hum:
bio "bobby" who dared not let him 60.

From the-New York Press, Thursday
A tall, lank, broad -shouldered man, with
shaggy iron-gray locks, horid face aud
eight-inch goatee registered at the Fifth
Avenue hotel Yesterday. LOterers in the
corridor as they gazed upon him expressed
the opinion that it required but a spike tail
coat and hand me down trousers, made up
of the Stars and Stripes, to convert the
guest into a typical Uncle Sam. The gen
tleman wrote upon the book in a rather
scrawling hand, "Redfeld Proctor, Yer
mont" He had just returned from a
visit to the President-elect, and it had
been said that the Green Mountaineer had

ably few people believe that he made his
anti-election reform promises meaning to
break them but the way in which he has
yielded to party pressure and the record he
has made under those promises have made
his administration a by-word, and it is an
open question whether this or his attitude
on the tariff did the more to defeat him
The Presidents allusion to the jobbery
and scheming which permeated every de

The supreme court of Tennessee has
unanimously decided that the governor can
not be restrained from issuing an election
certificate to Mr.. Evan, the Republican
candidate in the Chattanooga district. This
is a district that the Republicans expected,
but could not feel absolutely sure of, as the
complexion of the court is Democratic,
This assures the Republicans of a majority
in the next House of at least seven at the
organization, and if one Republican is gain

Monday mornings disaster, whereby
Hartford hotel building was reduced to a
heap of ruins in moments time and over
twenty lives were lost is one of the most
dreadful of its kind which has ever happen
ed in New England The immediate cause
was the explosion of a boiler in the base
ment, but facts which are now coming out
show that the primary cause for the com
plete wreck of the building was its crimi
nally faulty construction. a contractor
who did a part of the work, but whose men
left because they were afraid Of the shaky
walls, says there is nothing in the world
but planks under the foundation walls.
Planks were laid down in the blue clay on
which the building stands, and nothing but
bricks used as "a foundation. A large part
Of the bricks used were soft ones which "A
previous contractor had found it impossible
to sell and so worked them off in this job.
In short, the building appears to have been
