medicine for ten years. In 1869 he re-
moved to the northeast corner of the

in the course of time the female mem

Mr., ROGERS of Arkansas had little
fun IN the house at the expense of
Speaker Reed Thursday morning. He
called attention TO the fact that the
Journal failed to show that the speaker
had voted on the question of the en-
grossment of the Mckinley bill. He said
he wanted the speaker recorded one way
or another on this important Republican
measure. The refined sarcasm of his
remarks was enioved no less by Repub-
licans than by Democrats. Speaker
Reed, however, is said 10 have been
visibly disconnected by it, and
to have shown signs of feel
ings quite uncomfortable during its
delivery. It is possible that the speaker
purposely refrsined from gong on
record on the bill put through under
whip and spur as measure of party
necessity. Reed will, however, have to
go on record when the bill comes up for
passage, or else dodge the question en-
tirely.

HARRISON has made another bad
break and as a result finde himself In a
very unpleasant predicament. Ever
since Grants first fern Evan R. Jones,
an able, Influential and we'll known
Welshman, has been in the consular
service of the United States; frsfsat
Newcastle -on-the-Tyne, England, and
later at Cardiff. So efficient was he
that Cleveland refused to remove him.
Harrison, however, wanted the place
for Massachusetts man, and q few
days ago sent the name Of his tavorits
to the senate. He made the appoint
menf without consulting the senators
from Jones' state, (Wisconsin) and
they are up in arms against the latter's
removal, which will also be resented by
Welshmen all over the United States,
and particularly in Wisconsin, where
there are 5000 Welch voters and in
Central New York, where they are
very strong. The only way out of the
predicament which his peculiar action
has placed him in, is for Harrison to
withdraw his appointment and leave
Jones in undisturbed possession of the
Office he has filed SO long and SO well.
If he does not do SO he Will have a very
pretty fight on his hands, Tor Senator
spooner of Wisconsin is not the man to
quietly submit to the removal of Jones
in. the arbitrary manner IN which Harri-
son seeks by this unadvised appointments
to accomplish it.
