Mr.. Senator Ey arts report ON
Texas Election Outrages.

1FAaS EIetNlfu ohtEh-Nss
A few days ago, Mr.. Senator
Eyarts. of New York, made a long
and elaborate report on the outrages
committed in the elections in WASH
ington county Texas, in which the
colored poll holders were shot down,
and certain ballot boxes destroyed.
At the time, these outrages were
denounced by the entire press ofthe
South, and no good and honest man
approves of force or fraud being
used by the friends of a candidate to
secure his success. Among the many
fine phrases and high sounding plat
itades used by Mr.. Senator EvArts,
and no one knows better how to.use
them than he, there will be found
much, in which everybody will con-
cur: and some things to which they
will demur.
The question of ballot~reform is
agitating the country from center to
circumference, and, If 1.-THE of the
election frauds reported, are true,
there is need Of the legislation by
the States on this line and an I'M
proyement Of the public opinion.
Nothing has been better or
more forcibly said by anyone than
Gov. Hills utteranees in his mes
sage to the Legislature of New York.
They have made profound impress
sion on the whole country. and the
New York Legislature is earnestly
at work in that direction. This
shows that ballot reform is needed
in New York as we'll as Texas.
But we are not dealing now with
the question of the ballot reform
nor urging neither pro or con. But
we desire to call attention to the
gist of Mr.. Senator Evarts' report,
which certainly goes square to the
mark for placing the election ma
chinery and Presidential Electors,
directly under the control and ar.
rangement Of the National Con.
gress.
This matter has been mooted fol-
some time, but there has been a
slowness TO take from the states the
control and arrangement Of Nation.

Effects of Hashpesh.

A. III. Field has recently recounted
his experience under the influence Of
hasheosh. He smoked the hasheesh
until he felt a profound sense OF we'll
being, and then put the pipe aside.
After few minutes he seemed TO be-
come two persons; he was conscious OF
his real self reclining on lounge, and
of why he was there; his double was in
a vast building made Of gold and
marbles, splendidly brilliant and beau
tiful beyond all description. He felt
an extreme qualification and believed
himself in heaven. This double per-
sonality suddenly vanished, but reap
peared in few minutes. His real self
was undergoing rhythmical spasm3
throughout his body; the double was "a
marvellous instrument, producing
sounds of exquisite sweetness and per-
feet rhythm. Upon another occasion
sleep and waking came so rapidly that
they seemed to be confused. His dou-

several men living at the same time in
different places, with different occupa-

without hurrying to the next, his

nothing. This experience admirably

Hearing Lord Sail bury Sneak.

Mr.. w. II. Lucy, the well-snown
Rardical journalist and late editor oil
the London Daily News, says: Lord
Salisbury, when he speaks, has, in UNI
bounded measure, that strong individ-
uality which fascinates an assembly or
nation. He Is always personally in
terosting. When Lord Salisbury pre-
sents himself at the table of the House
of Lords there is nothing certain about
him, except that he will say something
in a very striking manner.
HE scorns oratical graces and rarely
makes long speeches. Having some
thing to say he says Il in the fewest
possible words, and resumes his seat
with alacrity. When addressing the
House he has way OF louuging over
the table, aud chatting in a converse
tional tone as IL deprecatng the idea
that he Is making a speech, Lord
Salisbury does not make use of copious
notes even when delivering his most
important speeches."
In appearance he is tall and well
built. His hair Is dark. and almost OF
poetic length. Strongly marked eye
brows q pertinaceous-loolE nose, a
thick dfmk beard and moustache, make
up a remarkable physiognomy. He
wears big hat with broad brim.

Baby and Dog in wilderness.

A private letter from Fort Supply, in
the Indian Territory, relates a pathetic
story OF the wandering in the wilder
ness OF q mere baby, with only a little
dog for its faithful guide and compan-
ion. Some twelve miles from the fort
there lives on o ranch woman who
supplies the post with dairy products.
She had three small children. The
second Of these, a wee, brown-eyed,
fair-haired baby of two years, had n
little dog who was her inseparable COM
panion. One day neither could be
found. The anxious mother locked up
her two other children, and getting a
cowboy to accompany her, started forth
on horseback TO search for the infant
wanderer All day long she secured
the country. finding no trace. A search
ing party from the post met with no
better success.
Mrs. Gilman, the wife of one OF the
officers was, however, so strongly i'm
pressed with conviction that the
child had not persisted that, in response
to her entreaties, another party was
organized and again set forth 10 con-
tinue the quest. This time there wore
one hundred and fifty men riding in all
. directions. On the fifth day OF the
search detachment espied the little
dog crawling out from under a cliff
above tiny stream. They went to il,
and there. lying on the ground. found
the poor baby. It's little bruised and
swollen feet had wandered full fifteen
miles from home. 1t was still alive,
but died before reaching home.
The poor, faithful dog had chung
to his playfellow all the time and
had led her to the water. Tracing
back the trail over which these small
travellers had wandered it appeared
that they had gone where no foot of
man could tread. In some places they
must have fallen over lodges and fallen
down declivities, and they had crawled
along precipice5 where the steadiest
head might have grown dizzy.-New

gram to The Bee Judge Isaac Bergman,

and vouchers of his Office to his successor,
A. d. Kelley Bergman is serving his fifth
term as probate judge and county treasurer

the latter office under republican admins
tratlons until Mayor Reed, demo-
crat went into Office three years
ago. The mayor nominated and
the council confirmed n democrat for city
treasurer, but Bergman declined to turn
over his Office and held the fort This year
the situation had changed. Mayor Riner,
republican, was elected Bergman had
served one term under him but the mayor
has lately been training with different fac
tion of the party and nominated the noted
young politician A. ID. Kelley for treasurer.
Bergman was again formally called upon
to give up the books and again declined to do
so, with considerable firmness. The mayor
and council were agitated and there have
been weeks of cogitating over the matter.
Meanwhile warrants were accepted from the
old treasurer and money paid over to the
new one. Just what Bergman would do no.

taking the matter INTO the courts, put it was

LONDON, May 23.-TNew York Herald
Cabe-Special to Tue BEE. Lord Dun
ravens new yacht, the Valkyrie, to-day,
wiped out the stain Of yesterdays doubtful
result in the Royal London Yacht club race
by Enthusiastically defeating the Irex and
Yarana. She also establishes her claim to
the leading place, at least among the fair
weather yachts.
1t was little better than a drifting race,
to-day however, and nothing can be prom
ised of her powers In breeze II the ele-
ments favor her in New York, the Valkyrie
will make hot race for the American cup,
as it is said by all hands that she is faster
than most of the yachts that have gone for
the American cup.
Yesterdays race was virtually over the
same course as that of Wednesday, u flying
start from the lower Hope light, around the
Morse light and back to the Rosherville light
all the yachts being buoyed exactly opposite
the Rosherville hotel. The following were the
entries; Trek, Valkyrle, and Yarana. A
good start was made at thirty one minutes
past IL, in light east wind. The Valkyrie
was first over the line; the Tarana stuck to
her some time; but, In q snort tacking on the
Kent shore, the Valkyre met the Yarana on
the starboard tack. The latter elected to go
into the tideway rather than accept the
weather bow, and this gave the Valkyrie an
advantage, as the leading yacht was then
able to tack. 1henceforward the Valkyrie
increased her lead until she rounded the
mark On the run home the Valkyrie
maintained her lead until there fell a
fiat calm Then light western wind sprang
up, which just drew the leading boat home,
the others drifted out with the tide. The
Irex abandoned the race after rounding the
mark.
The victory Of the Valkyrie was greeted,
In passing the umpire's boat, with enthus-
iastic cheers, which were returned in kind
by Captain Dater and his men. The wind
was so light at the finish that Captain Daiter
was obliged to have recourse to the tug Fly
ing Falcon to make way against the tide to
the yachts berth.
The yacht was much admired by a large
congregation of spectators on The banks.
She is very like the Thistle, only SIN aller,
being short, thick boat, in fact she was de-
scribed by an old tar as half Thistle, an ex-
presslon will convey to yachtmen the best
idea of her appearance.

WAsuINGToN, May 23 - The ordnance
bureau of the navy department has com

These are the largest and most powerful guns

results, as it compares favorably with the
products of the renowned European

attained was 1000 feet per second. The
range could not be determined, owing to the
lack OF sufficiently large proving ground.
But it is estimated at ten miles. Soon after
