WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S.-In the
house to-day the senate bill for the pro-
lection of the salmon fisheries in Alaska
was passed with an amendment. The
senate bill for the erection of a public
passed. 1t appropriates $4,000.
The senate passed number of bridge
bills. With slight nendments the post

senate then took up the conference re-
port on the interstate commerce bill.
The Herald's Washington correspond
ent reports that he has had long and
interesting talk with President Cleve-
land. The correspondent led the con-
versation to subjects tearing on the fu-
ture prospects of the republic, and says
tie president, wi tn the utmost frank
ness, said:
Il am demo rat with all the word
implies. l am, moreover, an intense
democrat, in that | believe that the true
principles of the democratic party are
essenti il to the we'll being of this coun-
try. During the war;" he added, the
republican party had supreme
and unJ questionable control of the
puolic policy. No one will question
the service it rendered at that that time.
But the rank and file of the army was
composed largely of democrats. The
of them democrats. While there were
among the republicans small minority
of hot heads who found fault with the
Lincoln administration, and among dem
ocrats an equal number of fossils, whose
timidity was a national misfortune, the
great bulk Of the people from east to
west, without respect 10 party atfilia-
tions, were solidly pstriotic and ready
for any necessary amount of sacrifice for
the preservation of their institutions. 1t
is folly to claim that the war was fought
by either repG b.icans or mocrats;
1T was fought by the American
citizens of the north. But it is plain, >
he said with great seriousness, ''that un-
der republican ADMINISTRATORS there
has been given fresh and dangerous
impetus o monopolies. trusts and com
bines. Immense fortunes have been ac-
cumulated, unknown in the days of our
fathers. They are peculiarly of post
belluln times, and the control which
they arbitrarily excel e over the cost Of
existence is direct menace to the vel
fare of our workingmen and our farm
ers."
The party. the pre-i1ent declares.
which Willingly encourages these evil
tendencies is not worthy to be called a
party of the people. AS a democrat, the
president believes strongly in the masses,
and has very large sympathy for the
working classes. Whate er interferes
with their interests interfe es with the

FORT MADISON, Ia, March 1.-Wm.
Emerson, a mulatto, sent here from Pot
tawattamie county in 1887, to serve q
three years sentence for burglary, was
shot and killed, in the penitentiary.
Emerson had been an unruly prisoner
from the day of his arrival. For some
misdemeanor he was gi en- a dose of
dark cell. On promise, however. that
he would go to work, he was transferred
to his own quarters. The next morning
when his door was unlocked he refused
to come out. The guard so reported to
Deputy Warden Townsend The latter
went to the cell, and, after fruitlesslv
endeavoring to persuade the prisoner to
obey orders, started INTO the cell after
him. Emerson rushed for the deputy
with knife which he had concealed on
his person. and the deputy warden drew
his revolver and fired. The ball struck
the convict in the groin and he died
from loss of blood shortly afterward.

have NJ further information concerning
the fatal accident occasioned by the giving
away of span of the bridge over tho
Guyandotte river than was published IN
this paper Yesterday in a special telegram
from huntington.
That portion OF the road is in tho Gin
cnnati division. and it is therefore not
unnatural tuat the officials oi the Rich
mond division should not have been in-
formed concerning the details OF the oc-
currence.
Superintendent Stevens said from what
he could learn he thought one OF the cars
had become dcrailed before il reached the
bridge, and striking one Of the columns
with great force knocked the structure out
of plumb and caused the first span. l47 feet
I'm lcngth. To fall in. The bridge Is com
paratiyely new iron one. having been
built only about three years ago, and Is
three spans in length.
The name OF the colored brakeman killed
