SMITHS Loss.
The Arizona Delegate Calls Congressman

The Arizona Delegate Calls Congressman
towards.
WAsHfNGToN. January 24th.-The Copitol
tonight says Delegate Smith of Arizona
was one of the heaviest losers by the de-
falcation of Silcott. He lost a whole year 5
salary, and believes the Government should
reimburse him. He was much disguised
by the vote against Adams bill, and be-
lieves that a majority of the members of
the House are moral towards.
" Said Mr.. Smith Yes, | was hit a
pretty hard lick by the cowardice of many
of the members of Congress. l don't think
there were twenty men on the floor stupid
enough to think that Silcott was my private
agent or any mere receipt was an estoppel
of me- 1t looks to me like S.. 900 had been
forcibly taken from me in order to furnish
a supply of cheap virtue on which
the gentlemen hope to be returned
to Congress. l notice that the biggest
speeches in size were made by those who
lost the least. When we rob in Arizona
we do it in q brave sort of way and take
chances of life or penitentiary. But here
things are different. l hate the loss of my
money, for could not afford to lose it.
But the loss of my cash gives me no such
pain as this wholesale crumbling of my
idols. When men so fear the tenure of
their services in Congress that they are
ready 10 do a willful wrong either to them
selves or to others, in order to keep their
place in public life, then the sooner they
are relegated TO a life Of industry at home
the better for the country.

why She Receives So Much More than

A writer in the London World says of
Nine. PATHS terms for singing in concerts:
81 have all my life had a weakness for
ladies, and ladies have always had the
weakness to know what is not their bust
ness, so | am going to betray secret of
the trade to lady readers of this paper in
order to let them get an insight into affairs
discussed by everybody, although every
BODY knows nothing about what is really
the matter. From all sides [ hear of the
greediness of Nine Patti, the exorbitant
prices she asks, and how she does not care
whether the people in whose concerts she
sings are ruined so long as she receives her
money. The fact is this Nine Patti re-
ceives for every concert in the Albert Hall
e700-an enormous amount, no doubt.
'Now let US see as to the ruin of the peo-
pie who engage here. The expenses of the

whole universe who can fill the Albert

it should be well understood that Nine

RUSSIAN EXTRACTION.

The Pending Treaty is Practically De-
feated.
WASHINGTON, January 24th.-The Rus
sian exuadition treaty is undoubtedly
dead When it was called up for consid-
Grafton in the executive session of the SEN
ate the other day there were some very
strong speeches made in opposition to it.
The clause providing for the extradition
of persons guilty of high crimes was
adopted, but when the clause defining what
a high crime is and providing that attempts
upon the life of the Gar or any of the
members of the Imperial family should
not. under this treaty, be considered polit-
ical crimes, but elassed with attempts at
murder, manslaughter, forgery, ETC., and
extrsditable, was reached, very obstinate
objection was raised.
There is a great deal of sympathy among
the American legislators, as well as Ameri-
can citizens in private life, with all persons
who are under imperious governments.
The natives of Ireland have no more SYM
patty than the Russians, who are trying
to secure government for the people and
by the people.
This clause in the treaty. which would
make it impossible for the freethinkers Of
Russia to flee to this country for refuge was
most bitterly attacked, and on its account
the treaty was sent back to the Committee
on Foreign Relations for further consider
alton. Unless this clause is stricken out
or modified the treaty will never be rati-
fed

MRS. BRIoE's CASE.
The Emigration Commissioners at Castle
Garden Scored.


Garden Scored.
NEW YORK, January 24th.-A lively
meeting of the Commissioners of Emigra-
ton was held yesterday to inquire into the
case of Johannes Hammer, who is detained
on the ground that he is public charge.
The Board decided that Hammer must be
returned. The decision does not imperil
the case of the man, which is pending in
the Courts.
Hammer says that he is able to care for
himself, and attributes the desire of certain
persons to have him returned to the fact
that he refused 10 buy a ticket for Califor-
mia from the railroad clique at Castle
Garden.
The case of Mrs. Mary Brice and her ten
children was taken up. She told pathetic
story. She said her husband is at Los
Angeles in the employ of Lyman & Co.,
where he receives 81 day. He came to
this country last February, leaving her q
farm valued at 81 500 After he went away
a number of creditors came with claims,
and these and the lawyers took everything
except sl5e, which they gave her to come
to America. Of this $50 remains.
She begged the Commissioners to assist
her in reaching her husband, who is will
ing to support her. Hoafe said he had no
authority 10 make donation Of the $500
necessary for the trip. He thought II the
Commissioners gave the unfortunate
woman and children a chance the news
paper readers would subscribe the sum
necessary, and her five boys and five girls
would be given employment on their ar
rival at Los Angeles.
Commissioner Stephenson moved that
they be returned. The motion was carried,
with the proviso that if the newspapers
raised the money for the family the Board
would do nothing to prevent its remaining.
In delivering his opinion in the Rammer
case to-day, Judge Barrett scored Commits
sion Stephenson, saying that Hammer is
held without cause by brute force, and is
not held by the order of the Board or a
United States officer, but by Stephenson,
who had no authority to hold anybody.
While the Judge was giving his decision
the Commissioners met and ordered Rum
mer to be sent 10 Germany. The Judge or
dered his release Immediately.

AN OLD NEGRO LADY.
How She Conquered Rude and Rebel

nous Boy.
A handsomely dressed lady, who was
riding down town in Madison-avenue
horse car the other afternoon, found her
self in painful dilemma, says the New
York Sun. Seated by her side was little
golden-haired boy, who started, as soon as
he had been comfortably seated, making
remarks for the benefit of the other pas
sengers Several blocks below where he
and his mother had got on a poor old ne
gress came into the car. She was typical
old auntie Her hair was very gray, and
the more striking for the intense black
ness of her complexion. She wore faded
and much patched calico gown, with
large gingham apron spread over the front
of it, and an old straw hat which had
probably in years gone by done service for
some Southern lady, but which had been
stripped of nearly allits finery, only dis
colored silk ribbon remaining to show
what it once was. Auntie carried basket
filled with newly ironed clothes, which
could be seen underneath the clean towel
spread over the top of the basket. As she
sat down opposite the lady and the little
boy, the latter looked at her intently for
moment, and then, sitting bolt upright
and pointing his finger straight at her.

"Oh, mamma; see that black niggerw
The boys mother spoke to him and
tried to make him understand that he was
very naughty, but he wouldn't have it.
In fact, the more she spoke the more he
kept repeating the obnoxious phrase. A
good many Of the passengers seemed to
think it very amusing, but others looked
| on with stern faces His mother, finding
no other course satisfactory, finally COW
cred his mouth with her handkerchief, but
even then the smothered sound could be
heard from the rebellious boy. Finding
that her efforts to repress him were only
likely to result in his strangulation, the
lady gave up in despair, and, boldly trium-
plant, the youngster, in a louder voice
than ever, shouted across the aisle:
ooh, YOU black niger"
Auntie had paid no attention, but now
that he addressed her so directly she could
hardly avoid noticing him He had no
sooner pointed his hand at her again,
therefore, than she reached over with her
own bony hand, and catching his within
it, while her face became kind and pleas
ant, she said

The boy looked up at her, just little
frightened and ashamed. He shook hands
with her nevertheless, and from that mo-
ment ceased to refer to her any further.

THE UNKNOWN WHIPPED.
Lance Finishes Him in the Fourth
Round.


Round.
SALINAS, January 24th-The fight to a
finish between F. Lance of this place and
the unknown Dunn, which took place at
the rooms of the Salinas Athletic Club, re-
suited in a victory for Lance. In the first
round they rushed on one another desper-
ately. Finally Lance landed swinging
undercut on Dunn's jaw, which felled him
to the floor. He got up, however, before
time was called, and was knocked down
twice more before the bell tapped. In the
second round they continued their. rush
ing, each landing heavily on the others
face and neck.
The third round was the liyeliest of all.
They went at each other regardless of sci
enee. They slogged one another until the
red sap ran from both freely. 1t was now
evident that the one who could stand the
most punishment would win the fight.
Both were growing weak. In the fourth
round both came up dszed. Dunn closed
on Lance, and they clinched and both fell.

in separating them. Lance again landed
heavily on Dunn's jaw, knocking him over

Dunn. with great effort, crawled
through the ropes and refused to fight
longer The referee then awarded the
fight and purse to Lance. The men were
about evenly matched as to science, but
Lanco's superior strength in slogging was
more than Dunn could endure.

said, about q dozen good negatives, all
told, which were developed Oh the ground
or within two or three days
In response to questions as to the form
and size of the Cayenne corona, they said:
s'To answer these questions most intelli-
gently il would be necessary to study care
fully the negatives made at Cayenne, and
also to compare them with those made at
previous eclipses. Speaking generally,
these negatives show as much of the corona

as any photograph"
Ibid the Cayenne corona resemble that
observed in California on January 1, 1889;
was it elongated at the suns equator and
radical, but short, at the poles ?"
Their answer was: es, it resembles
the corona Of the 1st OF January very close
ly. The streamers of the photographs are
really curved There is apparently no
doubt on this point. This is speaking from

due to British influence. Their insertion
