Tony Harris Hopeless Insanity.

WORCESTER, May 16.-At the in
sane asylum here today poor Tony
Hart, Ned Harrigan's former partner,
who is soon destined to end what once
promised to be remarkable dramatic
career in premature grave, WAS seen.
Tony entered the room where the
reporter awaited him, leaning ON the
arm of an attendant, and it was with
difficulty he could be seated in an easy
chair. He suffers from paralysis and
talks with great difficulty.
His head trembles, his teeth chatter
and his articulation is so labored and
broken that he is not easily under
stood. He spoke only in answer to
inquiries, and many of his replies were
incoherent and without reference to
the nature of the inquiries. In the
course of his remarks he said that he
was once worth 100000 and made
$3.50 night, which is probably true.
He said he was born in Worcester, N.
Y, and his mind seemed to frequently
turn to New York.
"Have you any relatives here?" was
asked.
eyes; 10000" That,number seemed
favorite with him, for he frequently
repeated it.
When Ned Harrigan's name was
mentioned, he said: "Harrigan is all
right; we are partners" When his
former theater in New York was re-
ferred to, he said with an expression Of
sadness
Gall burned up" Then shaking his
fist and clenching his teeth he
muttered something all of which, save
"shoot him." was inarticulate. He
expected to go on the stage again, and
said Harrigan was writing play for
him.
When asked if he enjoyed himself
at present, he said: EYES," gaily, and
nodded in an affectionate way toward
Superintendent Park.
Tony has now been in the asylum
three years, and will probably remain
there as long as he lives, which will
not be many months. The death OF
his wife a few weeks ago had but
little effect on him. While playing
cards the next day he remarked, "My
wife is dead" but nothing more.
He is not yet 40 years of age, his
hair is not yet tinged with gray, his
eye is bright, but with the light of in
sanity, not of reason.

A Man With a Complaint.

From the Chicago Tribune.
II wish the newspapers wouldn't
print anything more about the small
amount of money which married
man can live on in city," writes San
employee"
"Not long after the last article Of
that kind was printed, my boss came
to me and said he would have to re-
duce my salary. was getting $22.50
week. l told him that any reduc-
ton in my wages would force me to
look for work elsewhere. He
said he would be sorry to
lose me, but he could get
man for less. / said / didn't see
how man could work for any less
and live decently. Then he quoted
that newspaper article on me
in which a lot of fellows
stated that they were living on
small wages and saving money, and he
said that on the strength of the article
number Of people who live in the
country had maze application for
work in the city. 1t is strange
thing that most mechanics and labor
ing men who live in small towns are
restless to get to the city. A man
who gets $l.50 day in a small
town hears that men are being paid
$175 or 50 day for the same sort of
work in the city. He thinks about
the increase of pay only, not about
the increase of expenses. And the
newspaper articles of which / have
spoken help to bring these dissatisfied
men here, and they are the very ones
who stir up discussions when they
come.
$50 you see 1 have got to hunt
work-when 1 have a chance-else-
where because some man wrote to the
papers that he could live on salary
of $15 week and lay up money be-
sides. Don't give me any more OF
this"

Harrison Afraid of Quay.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 16.-The
fact that Chairman Quay has indef-
nitely postponed the meeting OF the
National Executive Committee called
for tomorrow serves tonight as the
new basis for the old story that Presi-
dent Harrison demanded an ex-
PLANTATION from Quay of the
charges made against him; that Quay
refused and that Harrison thereupon
demanded his resignation of the
Craftsmanship of the Republican ma
tional committee. Of course the story
now winds up with the declaration
that Quay postponed the meeting Of
the committee to prevent demand
through it for his resignation.
This is pretty story, but
unfortunately for Harrison, it il
only an iridescent dream. Har'
rison cannot successfully de
mand either an explanation or
resignation from Quay. Quay is the
master of the national committee
Dudley and Clarkson are his assis
tants, and the rest of the committee
being for Quay as against Harrison
consequently whatever Harrison de
sires may be. Troubled as he is by
the charges, Quay has nothing to feal
from him. If there is any fear be-
tween them it is felt by Harrison, al
he looks forward to 1892.

TIE CENSUS.
Superintendent Porter Declares 1t Must and
Shall be Above SusDieion


WASHINGTON, May 49, Superin-
tendent Porter has sent the following
important order to all supervisors of
census; at has been brought to the
attention of the superintendent of
census that the city councils and
boards OF trade of certain western
cities have appropriated sums of
money to aid their census supervisors
In the enumeration of the population.
While it may be urged By some that
such proceeding is legitimate and
merely intended to help the govern
ment to obtain a fair and full emu
meration, Il am compelled to look
upon as an almost irresistible
temptation to fraud and as conse-
quentfg endangering an honest count
OF the people.
"If tolerated by this Office, it would
have tendency to bring the whole
census into disrepute. You are, there
fore, positively instructed not to re-
ceive any such compensation yourself,
nor countenance for one instant the
payment OF any sum of money what
ever, by municipalities, corporations
or persons to enumerators. Any SUI
pervisor of census who is not content
with the remuneration allowed by
law (Which is double the amount paid
in 1880 should at once resign.
"The eleventh census must and
shall be above suspicion. To tolerate
any action on the part Of municipal.
ties, associations, organf atoms or in.
dividuals, no matter how powerful
they may be, which has for its pur-
pose the debauching, or which would
even throw the slightest faint upon
the truthfulness of the returns, would
in my opinion, be nothing short of Q
crime against the people OF the United
States.
"This whole matter, together with
the facts in the possession OF this of
fee, has been laid before the honor
able secretary of the interior, and The
action of the superintendent OF censu
in placing every legitimate obstacle
at his command in the way OF the dis
tribution of local funds for this pun
pose meets with the-secretary's az
proval."

A Runaway.

There was quite an exciting run
away on Congress Avenue yesterday,
which proved quite serious for sew
eral persons. A wagon, to which was
hitched horse hired by Mr.. Arthur
Mays, was standing in front of his
store, loaded with wool and in which
were two colored porters. The horse,
in some way, became frightened and
d lshed down the avenue, the two
porters being powerless to stop him
owing to their position in the wagon.
The runaway wagon struck buggy
in which was Mrs. Alden, breaking the
wheels and shaft and throwing Mrs.
Alden on the horse. How badly the
lady was injured could not be learned.
The two porters was thrown out Of
the wagon and considerably hurt.
One had his feet badly mashed, as the
wheels passed over them, while the
other was badly bruised.

NO RACE THIS YEAR.
1t is Definitely Understood that the Americas
Cup Will Stay Where 1t Is.

IL 10 DcuHltCly OhuChbtoOu thds thC huhCIlCh ,
Cup Will Stay Where 1t Is.
1t is definitely settled at last that
there will be no race for the America
cup this year. The news comes in the
following letter, and from its tenor it
looks as if the situation would not be
altered in 1891 unless the new deed OF
gift is altered to suit the English
yachtsmen.
The letter was received at the New
York Yacht club, together with an
other formulating Dunraven's objec-
tons to the new deed, some days ago,
but the latter will not be made public
till the meeting of the club on Thurs
day night. Here is Dunraven's letter
declining to renew his challenge:
Sir-I am in receipt of your letter
and have to thank the New York
Yacht club and the committee APP
pointed by them for the consideration
given to my letter.
In their telegram the Royal Yacht
Squadron said that challenge holds
good, provided cup can be held subject
to challenges under Volunteer-Thist
conditions"
By the word conditions" they un
doubtedly referred to the terms Of the
deed subject to which the Volunteer
Thistle matches were sailed, and l used
it in the same sense in my letter. l

If / did, it is obvious from the corrS-
spondence of last year that the Royal
Yacht squadron would refuse, and ]
believe their refusal would be approved
by the Yacht Racing association and
yacht clubs generally over here.
AS regards your desire that the
Royal Yacht squadron should have
given fuller particulars of their OBJ
iections to the new deed of gift they
would doubtless consider any COM
munication on this subject from the
New York Yacht club. cannot, OF
course, say whether they would
deem themselves justified in crit
cising that document, and, even
| if they were to do so,
fail to see what benefit would result.
as the New York Yacht club neither
can nor will depart from the position
| taken up by them last year, viz that
the cup, if won by the club challeng-
ing, must be held under and subject to
the full terms of the deed of gift un-
der which the New York Yacht club
now holds it, viz: that of October "a
1887.
Regretting that there is no posi-
bility of my having a race for the
cup, remain, yours very faithfully,

Congo Free State:

LONDON, May licking Leopold OF
Belgium is in financial straits, and
has neglected to provide for the main
tenance OF the Congo Free State. The
State may be hourishing nation in
the future, but at present it furnishes
hardly enough revenue to satisfy the
needs, or perhaps we should say wants,
of the patriots who consent, for con-
sideration, to run it.
AS remedy for this condition OF
affairs, it is proposed to strike the
word "free" out.of the nations title
in other words, to abolish freedom OF
trade in the Congo region.
The proposal comes from Lambre-
mont to the Slavery conference, and
if favorably acted upon, duty of 10
per cent. will be levied upon all mer-
chandise, the proceeds to be used in
recouping King Leopold's private for
tune, which is said to have been con-
siderable trenched upon in the bolster
up of this pet enterprise.
What will become of the tariff after
the kings advances have been made
good is not stated, but the general i'm
preston is that it will be kept up fol
the benefit of the infant industries
that may be relied upon to spring ur
along the Congo.
King Leopold, by the way, arrived
in London today, to take part in the
elaborate ceremonies attendant upon
the unwilling at Windsor OF the jubi-
lee statue of the late prince consort
tomorrow. The party of guests will
be moderately large, but very distin-
guished, only the royalty and nobility,
with very few exceptions, being hon
ored by invitations.

PARIS, France, May 16.-The Steele
says of the Chinese ambassador at
Paris, Marquis Tseng, who died re-
Gently: "He was Chinaman fin de
steele. He had freed himself from
the prejudices of the Orient and
sought to bring the East and West
nearer to each other. He availed
himself OF the newest modes OF ad-
vertising, received reporters and gave
his pictures to the illustrated papers.
He WAS a thoroughbred Partisan, an
inveterate first nighter and drove the
most complete equipage in the city.
He even allowed his wife to appear in
society. At her debut the marquise
sat in fbow window and was
decked out like an oriental idol with
hierarchical dignity. Her gown was
of a heavy brilliant silken stuff en-
troidered with figures of the Chinese
imperial dragons. She kept her eyes
half closed, and answered all the re.
marks OF her guests only by moving
her fingers slightly. No dramatic
effect could have been more striking
than the contrast between her priestly
garments and the varied and elaborate
gowns OF the ladies of the diplomatic
corps. The only disagreeable incident
of the evening OF her debut took place
when the papal nuncio inquired loudly
in English-which the marquise un
derstood-of an American lady at the
window, why "that old woman In the
scarlet, outlandish gown didn't maxi
love to him as the other women did.
