lie Sets Forth His side of the Con
troversy with Fleming.
Congressman James Phelan of Ten
nessee, who is involved in a wordy i'm
hroglio with Editor Fleming of the
Knoxville Sentinel, has furnished the
press with q lengthy statement giving
MS side of the case. He says every man
is willing TO bear the burden of his own
follies, but the most patient are restive
under the weight of those which are
fictitious. He characteriZes the state
ment that he challenged Fleming to
fight duel as being utterly grouudless
and grotesque. Editor Fleming declared
in his paper that the school history of
Tennessee written by him (Phelan) was
"abominable, and so inaccurate as to be
worthless"
When asked for the reasons OF his
harsh statement he began a series of
criticisms extending through many
columns of his paper. Mr.. Phelan
then goes into the criticisms, etc, in
detail. He then adds "That | acted
hastily in sending a message designed
to elicit a challenge to a man who
ignores the code, readily admit. But
having been warned to handle him
carefully, assume that the bullying
tone of his refusal to accept hearty
apology was the result among other
contingencies, of overweaning personal
courage. The refusal to accept my
apology on the part of q man whom
supposed to be brave, filled me with
ineXpressible humiliation, at which /

Mr.. Phelan says also ii is true that
he made himself ridiculous, but then he
did not know Colonel Fleming as he
does now.

THE POTOMAC FLATS.

We fear that the present plan of re-
claiming the Potomac flats is mis-
take, says the Bmldiag Register. Ma
ture gave Washington a river front
with model contour, but a large part
of this magnificent gift is being thrown
away by the i'll considered filing of
the Washington channel between
Easby's Point and the Long Bridge.
Instead of filling any part of this chan
mel II should have been widened from
Easily Point to the Arsenal about
1000 feet simply reclaiming the tri-
angle at the mouth of the Tiber to
make the outline regular.
This would have given to the city a
magnificent river harbor and have in
terposed a barrier to the malarial en-
anations from the opposite shore BY
removing the dam at Anaostan Island
an additional waste.way in times of
flood would be available, This was the
idea of one of the greatest riparian
engineers OF America, Captain Alfred
Rives, who gave the problem thorough
study and reported his observations
and conclusions to Congress in 1857.
With the money that has been used
on the present project such channel
as we suggest could have been estab-
lished and system of magnificent
docks and wharves constructed and
made an impossible barrier to future
floods as we'll as an accommodation for
shipping, which would have paid in
wharf rentals high rate of interest on
the money invested in their erection.
1t is not yet too late to rectify this
mistake. Colonel Hams can secure an
enviable fame for himself and en-
during benefit to the commerce, health
and security of Washington and George
town by recommending the abandon
ment of the present plan in favor of one
having in general the features herein
before suggested.

Sweet Little Maud Kelso Kidnapped
and ChIorofOrmed.

Sweet Little Maud Kelso Kidnapped
and ChIOroformed.
CLEVELAND, o., April 12.-Maud Z.
Kelso, the 15-yearold daughter of ex-
Deputy Sheriff Charles p. Kelso, real
estate agent, who strangely disappeared
on Thursday evening, was kidnapped
chloroformed, taken into the suburbs
and assaulted by some brute or brutes
unknown, whose lives would not be
prolonged by moment if discovered.
Miss Kelso is very pretty girl of plump
figure and beautiful blonde hair, and
would attract attention anywhere. Her
mother died several years ago, and she
lives with her sister. Mrs William
Hutchins, at No. 129 Cedar avenue.
On Thursday afternoon she visited
her fathers office down town, and, not
finding him in, left note asking him
to call at her home in the evening. A
few minutes before z o'clock Mrs.
Hutchins asked Maud to go TO a notion
store on Garden street to purchase some
collars, and from there to Smithnight's S
drug store, on Woodland avenue, for a
prescription for aneighbor's child. She
started on the errapds, accompanied by
her devoted and almost inseparable
companion, large spaniel dog, leaving
word that If her father came in her alb
sence he should wait for her, as she
wished particularly to see him.
AT last Mr.. Kelso arrived, and after
waiting half an hour, became uneasy
at her prolonged absence and started
out to look her up. He went to the
notion store, and found she had
been there. At the drug store he
learned that she had not called for the
prescription. Somewhere between
these two points, only a few blocks
apart, she seemed 10 have dropped out
of sight
Mr.. Kelso, now thoroughly alarmed,
engaged the family, neighbOrs and two
policemen in the search. All the stores
in the vicinity, the homes of her associ
ates and teachers were visited without
finding the slightest clew to her where
abouts. II was now O'Clock, and 1t
was apparent that some mishap had be.
fallen the girl.
Mr.. Kelso tried to quiet his apprehen-
sions with the knowledge that Maud
was accompanied by her faithful Carlo,
who was a plucky dog, and would fight
to the death for his mistress; but when
at $3.50 o'clock Carlo dragged himself
into the house, crippled in one leg,
covered with mud. and his handsome
brass collar pounded out of shape, the
worst fears of the family seemed
realized, and Mr.. Kelso became almost
frantic.
Scores of neighbors and a number of
police and detectives continued the
search all through the night. The
moment daylight appeared all the
alleys, barns and vacant lots within a
mile or more were examined, but with
out developing the slightest clew.
When they found her the unfor-
tunate child was delirious and in pitt
able condition. According to her story
she was seized Dy man who clapped a
handkerchief saturated with chloroform
to her face, and lifted her into car.
riage. When she recovered conscious
ness ii was morning, and she was lying
in an open field which, from the de-
scription of the surroundings, must
have been -four miles out of the city.
There is no clew whatever to the as
sailant.

AT the lecture hall of the National
Museum, Lieutenant BaInedou last
night delivered an interesting address
on "Corea and the Coreans," which
was listened to very attentively by an
audience of nearly 1000 people. The
Lieutenant very graphically described
the manners and pCculiarities of these
comparatively unknown people. He
gave an account Of the manner in
which the intercourse between that
country and the American Republic
was brought about and of the reception
Of the Corean embassy by the Corean

The attraction at Harris Biiou TAea-

enjoyed extraordinary success. 1t is
a very strong comedy. drama, replete

THE SHIP THAT SAILED.

White sail upon the oceans verge,
Just crimsoned by the setting sun,
Thou hast thy port beyond the surge,
Thy happy homeward course to run,
And winged hope, with heart of fire,
To gain the bliss of thy desire.
] watch thee till the sombre sky
Has darkly yelled the lucent plain
My thoughts like homeless spirits fly
Behind thee, DER the glimmering main
Thy PROV Will kiss golden strand,
But they can never come to land.
And if they could, the fanes are black
Where once bent the reverent knee;
No shrine would send an answer back,
No sacred altar blaze for me,
No holy bell, with silver toll,
Declare the ransom Of my soul
'1is equal darkness here or there;
For nothing that this world eau give
Could now the ravaged past repair,
Or win the precious dead to live
Life's crumbling ashes quench its flame,
And every place is now the same.
Thou idol Of my constant heart,
Thou child of perfect love aud light,
That sudden from my side didst part
And vanish on the sea Of night,
Through whatsoever tempests blow
My weary soul with thine would 90.
Say, if thy spirit yet have speech,
What port lies hid within the pail,
What shore deaths gloomy billows reach
or If they reach no shore at all
One word-one little word-to tell
That thou art safe and all is well
The anchors of my earthly fate,
AS they were cast SO must they cling;
And naught Is now TO do but wait
The sweet release that time will bring,
When all these mortal fetters break
For one last voyage that must make.
Say that across the shudderlng dark
And whisper that the hour is near
Thy hand Will guide my shattered bark
TIL Mercy's radiant coasts appear;
That | shall clasp thee to my breast,
And know once more the name Of rest

The Henry BurIesque Company.

The Henry Burlesque Company
makes its first appearance at Kernan's
on Monday night, and from what the
press of the cities wherein it has ap-
peared says of the aggregation, a rare
treat is in store for the patrons of this
popular house next week. The New
York World said of it: "The Olym.
pic Theatre could not hold half as many
people-mostly men-as tried to squeeze
into it last night. The police stopped
the sale Of tickets when the standing
room space was taken"
The Cleveland Ohio P2aSRdeaIer
thus sums up some of the merits of the
company: 1t is the finest show of the
kind that has visited Cleveland for
many seasons. Miss Ada Henry, as a
burlesque artist, stands at the head of
her profession, both in voice and stage
presence. She is the peer of artists.
The performance opens with the recep
tion of the art gallery, which is first
class in every detail. Frank Dyer Is
great jig dancer, and Kaye and Henry
did very funny sketch which called
forth numerous encores. Emerson and
Cooks acrobatic act is a show In itself
Belle CliftOn's skipping rope dancing
is quite superior to other artists in this
line. Sam Dearin a Cleveland favor
ite, needs no mention. Ward and
Lyons, two pretty ladies. do unique
and novel specially. Prince Sutsuma,
the Japanese star, held the audience
spellbound for nearly half an hour.
The olio was Immediately followed by
the burlesque "Seven Temptations" in
which Messrs. Kaye, Emerson and
Cook created any amount of fun.
