We understand that Mr.. Brewer de-
MES that he was a candidate for the
Speakership and proposed to turn the
organization of the House over to the
Democrats if his party refused to elect
him. We shall show before long ex-
actly what Mr.. Brewer did and how
be did it. We shall also publish ex-
tracts from leading Republican jour
mails like the Gin. innati Commercial
Gazette showing how he is looked up
On by the leaders of his own party. It
will be interesting reading for Mr..
Brewer and his friends.

Den You Amt Honest"
From the Wilmington iStar.1

From the Wiimington Star.]
A gentleman coming to the city
from the Sound day or two ago on
a Seacoast railroad train, overheard a
conversation between two oaher pas
sengers-a colored man and a white
man. The darkey remarked that he
was Republican because that party
had freed him and haa taken his BODY
from under the lash, But he had. he
said, friends AMONG the white Demo
Gratis, and was going to vote hereafter
as he pleased, but was still a Republi.
can. The white man remarked that
he was 3 Republican, also.
"BOzn. about here?" queried the
darkey. "Yes," responded the white
mau.
sWas your daddy white man r.
/ did he own slaves?" EYES,"
aDen if you's Republican you
amt honest, said the darkey. And
he then moved away from his com
panlon and the conversation ceased.

CORRECTION.

Two weeks ago THE SENTINEL's
local columns contained an item which
stated that Hon. w. III. H. Cowles
would not run for Congress again af-
ter this campaign.
We have since ascertained that we
were misinformed Col. Cswles has
not said he would run and aa has not
said that he wouldn't. In fact, he isn't
saying anything about 1t.

A RECORD OF SHAME.

The House of Representatives has
at last adjourned, after perpetrating
some of the grossest outyages in the
annals of Congressional legislation.
Contrary to the earnest protest of Mr..
Cheadle, a leading Republican; con.
trary to the laws of the country; con
trary to the sense of right and justice
of many of the Republican members.
Reed has, by brute force and vigorous
application of the party lash, unssated
duly elected members of the House
Democracy being their only crime
On the 9th day Of November, 1855,
at the election held in the Fourth
Virginia District, 29,162 voters were
cast according to the Official returns.
Mr.. Venable (Demaezar) received
1928 voters aad the negro Lansston
1861. giving Venable 641 majos;ay
over the negro. Langston was seated
and now he poses as the sader of his
race and talks of being President.
In the South Carolina case Elliot
received 8,30S. votes to 1908 cast for
Miller, the Republican, yet Mr.. Reed
seated Miller. without even giving e.
hot an opportunity to present his
claims. This is mockery of justice
and disgrace to the Republican
party.
Reed seems to think it The duty of
himself and colleagues to do the cleo
ting of Southern Representatives. His
speech delivered in the Academy O..
Music in Philadelphia last week re-
minds US of the chuckling of a thief
with his pals after particularly
clever bit Of rascality has beer accom-
plished. He said;
"Not until very recent time did /
expect to- be with you tonight. for
the wicked. have been very rampant
for the last few days, and 1 did not
know but what it would be necessary
for myself AMI Mr.. Deliver to stay
with them. [Applause.l Or without
them. prolonged cheers and laugh
teri But all that is happily over,
and feel more responsive to you to-
night than light have felt this
morning"
If Reed, with his 5000 majority,
should be unseated by a Democratic
House it would simply be an act of
retributive justice. 1t would only be
givin- him a oose of his own medicine.
The Democrats nave been criticised
for obstructing legislation. See what
this same man Reed did in the last
Democratic House. Four contested
election cases were up. The Radicals,
under the leadership OF Reed, began
to filibuster. They refused to vote in
order to prevent quorum and kept it
UP for six months whenever these cases
were CALLED; they simply sat still and
laughed at the Democrats. What
ODSdkCI SdIllSlO oO! ADStC<bO W
locking doors and counting imaginary
quorums, he went on with other bust
ness, thus conceding to the minority
the right to compel the majority to
have quorum before passing on the
case.
In no instance was the minority re.
fused all the time they wanted for
debate.
Reed claims that all progress is over
the ashes of dead institutions. If he
aud his, gang are allowed to control
the next House the laws governing
parliamentary debate and the constitu-
ton of the United States will be but
hague shadows of things that have
been but are now no more
I'm the light Of these facts, the white
man Ia North Carolina who votes the
Republican ticket ought to be ashamed
Of himself

The Other Twenty-F Four Victims of
the London Holocaust We're Suf
focated.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-Thousands of per-
sons, impelled by curiosity, have visited
the scene of the fire in the building of
the Forest Gate Pauper school to-day,
and the police and the attendants have
been kept busy in their endeavors to re-
tain sufficient clear space wherein nee
eSSary work might be done. The school
was filled with boys who had beer COM
mitted To its care because of their in-
cOrrigible habits, and altogether the in
mates were of character from which
little discipline or obedience might be
expected i'll moments when both
were imperiously demanded. AS
a rule, however, the boys yielded
readily to the directions of their SUI
perlOrs, and to this fact is due the safety
of scores who otherwise would have
periShed. Of the twenty-six who lost
their lives only two we're burned to
death, the others having been suffocated
In their beds. Many of the latter were
aroused with tie rest, but became
stupefed and crawled back 10 their cots
to die. The hero of the occasion was
boy who acted in the capacity of moni-
tor in the fatal ward, himself a boy
whose vicious habits had made HIM an
inmate of the institution. Through his
efforts many boys were literally driven
from the building. and he ceased his
work of rescuing his fellows only when
ne was himself driven out by the flames.

No definite agreement between the SEN
ators as to important appointments has
been announced. 1t is understood that
Senator Pierce will have j. c. Warnock,
OF Jamestown. appointed Internal reYe-
nue. collector for the state. Warnock is
the editor of a Farmers alliance and
prohibition organ, and was a lifelong
Democrat until the day before the
last national election, when he
changed politics. At the last state
election he supported the Democratic
candidate for state senator in this
county. There will be hard kicking
from the Republicans on deals of this
kind. The jamestown post0ffice will
probably be left in charge of Postmas-
ter Kiause, Democrat, until July. In
the case OF the United States district
Judgeship, much opposition TO Hon.
johnson Nlckeu has been developed at
home. Senator Casey has heard ali par
ties, but gives no sign of his intention
as to Endorsement. Frank Sebering,
Eddy county, who has been
promised one of the Devils Lake
land offices, is liable to be
undone. 1t is said Congressman
Hansbrough has Norwegian friend i'll
Ramsey county for the place. Another
kick comes from Benson county. Ii. n.

RHINELANDER, Wis, Jan. Last
night while the firemen of Merrill were
giving dance in Berard's opera house,
in that city, George Hendler walked
into the saloon of Dave Sarvis during
the latter'S absence and demanded
drink, asking credit. He was refused
on account of former debt, which he
refused to settle. He then spent
50 or S3 at the bar with
some friends and departed. Between
the hours of IL and he returned and
met Sarvis alone in the saloon. Just
what occurred there will never be posi-
lively known, but two shots were fired,
one of which pass through the mir
rOr. Sarvis probably turned to escape
and received the second bullet in the
right side just above the hips. Sarvis
walked to the rear entrance
of the saloon and staggered
out. Hendler then went
across the street to the liquor store of
Hyman Bros. and entered. News of the
shooting of Sarvis was soon afloat, and
Policeman Hotz entered the liquor store
to arrest Hendler. As Hotz placed his
hand on Hendler's arm to arrest him
THE LATTER DREW HIS GUN
and fired two shots, the first one lodging
in the policeman's shoulder and the
second cutting hole through his left
ear. Officer Treaux had by this time
arrived OH the spot, and as he was ad-
vancing toward the murderer the latter
sent his remaing shot through TreauX'S
right breast and turned to flee. The
crowd had by this time recovered from
its fright and aseeing sHendler about to
escape gave chase and quickly
secured Hiim. Hendler's cap ors
threatened to lynch him then and there
and the lines were even taken from the
harness of a cab drivers horse which
was tied near. AS yet the crowd had
no positive assurance that any of Hend-
ler'S victims were dead or even moFtally
wounded. Mayor Theelman, after a
short speech in favor of law and order,
persuaded them to let the officers nave
charge of Hendler, and he was quickly
lodged behind the bars in the county Jail.
Search was then commenced for Sardis.
The search soon resulted in the discov-
Wy vi LILO dOuo UOul III di III Tic
rear of his saloon, where he had evi-
IDENTITY fallen upon leaving the saloon.
The rage of the crowd was then bound
less. and if the murderer had not been
spirited away he would soon have
adorned
THE NEAREST TELEGRAPH POLE.
Officer TruaX is in a critical condi-
ton. and should he die this evening
there is not enough force in Lincoln
county to save Hender from acting as
best man at a private neckte social. AS
it is large number of Sarvis' Wausau
and Tomahawk friends arrived in Mer-
rili to-day, and an attempt will in all
probability be made to take the mur-
derer from the Jail before morning. All
the parties shot have families residing
in the city, as has also Hendler.

NOT IN ROBUST HEALTH.
Queen Vic and son Are Inclined
To Be SickIy,

LONDON. Jan. Upon the authority
of court official it is stated that neither
the queen nor the Prince of Wales is in
robust health. The queen. whose health
has hitherto been generally good, has
suffered of late years from more or less
acute rheumatism. and this ailment is,
accompanied by an indisposition COM
mon among less exalted persons so
afflicted, to enter into engagements in
volving public appearances for any re-
mote date. The Prince of Wales, like
other members of his family, finds that
frequent change of life ana scene bene-
fits him greatly, and. though not man
of very enduring physical strength, he
has been generally able to fulfill his
public engagements, not always, no "
ever, without suffering the conse-
Quences in the recurrence of some of
the ailments to which he is subject. or
late he has found himself unable to
maintain all the activity of his earlier
days, especially in regard to the sports
incident to this season of the year. In
some respects the prince is less robust
than the queen, and. though in fairly
COOL health. is advised by his physi-
clans that his constitution is one need
ing considerable care and only moder-
ate exercise.

SPECIAL TO The Globe
HELENA. Mont. Jan. 1.-The Repu-
blican house and senate met in JOINT
session to-day and formally elected Col.
w. f. Sanders united states senator.
When it came to ballot for the second
senator there was no choice, L. G. Pow
er still being in the lead, with Lieut..
Gov. Richards, Knowles and Lee Man
tie close up. After one ballot the joint
session adjourned till tomorrow.
The Democrats seem to have gotten
into tangle. Yesterday the house and
the Democratic senators in caucus NOM
mated W. A. Clark. of Butte, and Mar
till Maginnis Tor senators. At IL: 80
last night the Democratic house for
mally met in open session and voted for
these men. AT noon to-day the Demo
cratic representatives and two Demo-
cratic senators met in Joint convention
and voted again for Clark and Magin-
mis-. One representative and six sena-
tors were absent, thus leaving the joint
convention without quorum. The
absent Democratic senators are said to
be those who will fight the
validity of the organization of
the senate, and base the contest in the
United States senate OH that gronnd.
There appears to be as great lack of
harmony among the Democr is now as
there is among the Republicans, with
this difference: The Democrats differ
as 10 the policy to be pursued, while
the Republicans are following out fully
matured plans and only disagree
as to the second senator. There
is much dissatisfaction in some
quarters with w. A. CIark's alleged
forcing of the Democrats to ballot to-
day, resulting in the absence of a
quorum. S. I. Hauser, WHO has here
t0fore taken an active interest in help
ing shape the Democratic programme,
has left affairs in other hands for the
past week, and the Democrats are now
showing the need of good leader. and
united action. With the election of
Sanders to-day the question arises,
will Governor ToOle sign his
certificate? As the governor
has always heretofore refused to
recognize the validity of the house
which elected Col. Sanders, the general
belief is that he will not sign the GER
tiiicate. The programme is for Sanders,
in case of Gov. ToOle's refusal to sign
his certificate, to apply for writ of
mandainus to compel the governor to
sign. Both Democrats and Republicans
meet again in separate joint conven-
tions tomorrow.

KING LEOPOLD'S LOSS

Laeken.

erness Loses Her Life in
the Flames.

Royal Family's Jewels
Are Burned.

Visit the Scene OF Lon
don's Holocaust.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 1.-The royal palace
at Laeken, a suburb of this city, Is
burning. Princess Clementine, the
daughter of the king, had narrow es-
cape from being burned to death. All
the royal art relics have been destroyed.
The fire has been prevented from
reaching the kings private rooms.
AT 10 p. m. the palace at Laeken had
the appearance of huge furnace, and
there came from it constant crashes and
volcanic bursts of flame and sparks as
portions of the embers, stone and other
masses of debris fell into the
fire. The heat was so great as
to totally prevent the approach of
the small fire brigade. which at pest
could have done but little. The queens
apartments have suffered most. Much
plate has been saved, but the valuable
pictures, the Gooelin tapestries and
the great library are all consumed. The
extensive green houses and stables are
not touched. The king is very anxious
about the statuary in the rotunda. There
is little hope that any of it is saved.
The only occupants of the palace at the
time of the breaking out of the fire
were the Princess Clementine, aged
seventeen; lady attendant and her
govprness. DrancOurt. The governess,
having escaped with the others.
returned to the princess apart
ments to secure some valuahles,
and was suffocated there. The queen
is greatly grieved at her fate. Another
poignant source of regret for her ma
jesty is that she loses by this fire inter
esting souvenirs of her children, es-
ppcially of her son. who died at the age
of twelve. Napoleon |. resided for a
time in this castle, but it has since
been much enlarged and I'M
proved. As soon as the fire
at Laeken was reported the king and
queen suspended the New Years day
reception and haSteled thither. They
Witnessed the total destruction of this
magnificent palace, their usual summer
residence It's said the fire was caused
by defective stove in the officers
quarters. The loss is immense as to
money value, and as to destruction of
art treasures that cannot be replaced
AT midnight there is report that the
fire at Laeken was of ineiendiary orr
gin. and that Miss Drancourt, the vic
tim. perished while searching for the
Princess Clementine, whom she Su p
posed to be still in the palace. All the
private papers of the king and of Leo
pold |. and the queens Jewels
were destroyed. Only the walls are
how standing. The body of the gov
erneSs has not yet been found.
BRUSSELS, Jan. lit is reported that
rwo tiremen were injured and another
killed at thr fire at Laeken.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Times has IN
telligence that the Laeken palace was
fired by incendiarieS at three separate
places, and that all the Gobelin tapestry
is sawed.

New ORLEANS, Jan. Mayor Sake
speare has issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting all prize fights, glove fights and
other pugilistic encounters and instruct
ing the chief of police to stop them and
40 use whatever force necessary to do
so. The mayor bases the proclamation
upon the action of the principals in the
last two fights. there was great deal
of scandal attending the McHale-B6wen
meeting, McHale being found to have
cloth and plaster of Paris under his
gloves, and the fight between Ward and
Miller, Monday, resulted in foul. The
mayor expressed the opinion that it is
impossible to have fair fights even when
given under the auspices of the most
reputable citizens and accordingly in
structed the police to stop all llencounters.
This will necessitate the Kilr ain-Vau-

passengers at Castle Garden to-day.
When the steamer came up this morn

vessel was in the middle of the channel
opposite Bedlow's island. The anchor
age boat drew alongside and ordered her
captain to leave The channel and take
proper anchorage. The captain of the
vessel showed no disposition to comply
with this order. but when blank cart
ridge was fired across the steamers
bows her commander speedily moved to
the legal anchorage grounds.
