REPUBLICAN ROBBERS.
More Democrats to be Unseated in
Furtherance of their Scheme.

More Democrats to be Unseated in
Furtherance of their Scheme.
WASHINGTON, May 49, - The Gazette
says: "'There are several more democratio
representatives with southern constituencies
who have been marked for slaughter said
democratic member of the elections COM
mittee of the House. Men who were elected
fairly, and against whom there is no good
ground Of contest. l puzzled my brain for
awhile to reach a conclusion as to the object
of turning these men out when the repuhli-
cans nave working majority without their
votes. Their purpose is plains now, since
Speaker Reeds Pittsburg speech, and since
intimations have been received from the
white house to the effect that the CAM
paign must be run on the bloody shirt issue.
THEIR oBJEcT.
"They will turn these men out and saw
they did it because there were no fair cleo
tions in the south, and can be none without
federal interference. It was not so long ago
that many republicans joked with each
other about the fiery Foraker's inhammable
utterances, and there was many a remark
made that ut is too late now for that kind
of talk" But since the session opened with
the Presidents message up TO now
the feeling has gradually grown
that something must be done to carry the
next House and pave the way for 1892 in the
direction OF federal control of the elections
and out of that grew the necessity for
manufacturing facts to justify the legisla-
tion proposed. A number of democratic
congressman will be sacrificed yet to this
necessity.'n

YTURBIDE NOT A PRRrENDER.
His Imprudent Letter Not Inspired by

His Imprudent Letter Not Inspired by
the Monarchists.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 1S.-Mexican pa
pers are giving undue Importance to the
Yturbide incident. Yturbide is young
man, grandson of the emperor of the
same name, and is now a second lieutenant
In cavalry regiment, with no official
standing, though he has some money, which
enables him to make frequent trip to the
United States. During his last trips he is
reported to have said that he represented
the conservative party.
RUSHED INTO PRINT
The local press took up the matter, when
ne, ooy-like, to set matters straight, rushed
into print publishing letter in Ey Tempo,
newspaper in which he criticised the gov.
ernment. the liberal party and also Presi-
dent Diaz, who is commander-ln-chief of
tne army, and for this he was arrested and
sent TO the military prison, where he is
undergoing trial for complaining against a
superior officer.

SWALLOWED A DOLLAR.
Great Difficulty Experienced in Re-
moving the Coin.

moving the Coin.
ATHENS, GA, May 1s.-About 12 o'clock
last night James Clemens, q prominent
young farmer, who lives just outside the
city, swallowed a silver dollar. Clemens
was lying across bed at his home and had
a dollar in his mouth. Being very tired, he
suddenly dropped off to sleep. He awoke
very soon afterward with a most excru-
ciating pain, and it developed that he had
swallowed the money. He arose immedi-
ately and came to the city to have the OBJ
stacle removed, but the task proved more
difticult than he first expected. He was
steadily growing weaker, and was finally
removed to the residence of a friend in the
eastern part of the city.
LEFT IN ALL NIGHT.
DIR. w. A. Carlton soon appeared and en-
deavored to draw the dollar from the throat
by means of an instrument, but owing to
the nervous condition of the patient he was
forced to postpone the operation till to-day.
The money had passed down the throat and
lodged in the Usophagus. This morning the
doctor returned to his patient, accompanied
by DIR. John Gerdine Clemens was placed
under the influence of ether and after a
difficult and dangerous operation the dollar
was brought up through the mouth.
Clemens is resting well.

HAVANA HAS A HORROR.
AN EXPLOSION AT A FIRE COSTS
MANY LIVES.

The Death List at Last Accounts
Numbered Thirty-four and a Fur
ther Increase Expected-Over One
Hundred People Injured-A Hard
s,are Store the Scene of the Blaze
and a Barrel of Powder the Cause
of the Disaster.
HAVANA, May 1S.-At IL o'clock last
night fire broke out in Yasis' hardware
store. In short time the flames reached a
barrel of powder in the building and a
terrific explosion followed. The whole
,,ructure was blown to pieces and thirty
four persons were killed. Among the dead
are four fire chiefs, Senors Musset Zenico-
viech. Oscar Conill, francesca Ordenez and
the Venezuelan consul, Senor Francesca
Silva, who happened to be in front of the
building at the time of the explosion.
OVER ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE INJURED.
In addition to the killed over one hundred
persons were injured.
The explosion caused the widest excite
ment throughout the city, and thousands
fiocked to the scene of the disaster.
The governor general, the civil governor,
and all the principal authorities of the city
were promptly on the ground and did
everything in their power to aid the injured
and calm the grief-stricken relatives of the
victims
Several houses adjacent to the wrecked
building were damaged by the explosion.
TAKING OUT HUMAN LIMBS.
Gangs of men are at work on the debris.
Many human limbs have been taken from
the ruins.
Relatives of the missing persons supposed
to be in the ruins are gathered on the spot,
and as the bodies are brought out the scenes
are most distressing.
PRAISE FOR THE AUTHORITIES.
The conduct of the authorities is the sub
ject of universal praise. The highest off,
cials have incurred personal risk in conduct
ing the search for the dead and have offered
the use of their own carriages to convey
the injured to the hospitals. Senor Pasi,
proprietor of the wrecked hardware store,
has been arrested. 1t is feared that there
are several more victims in the ruins. Over
theaters and the chamber of commerce and
many other buildings flags are flying at
haf-mast. Everywhere signs of mourning
are to be seen.

WASHINGTON, May Representative
Bynum's decoration with Speaker Reeds

it will re-elect him from the Indianapolis

more valuable to Representative Bayne,

WAsHIaGToN, May 1s.-Silver will be

given notice of his purpose to address the
Senate on this subject Wednesday.
Addresses in memoriam OF the late Repre-

Saturday will be devoted to the calendar.
These are the only probable Interruptions
of the silver debate.
The naval appropriation bill win, it is
expected, be reported early in the week,
but it will not be called up for action until
the silver question has been disposed Of. IL
the finance committee can find suitable
opportunity. the tariff bill will be taken M
In committee for consideration, so that an
early report may be made thereon to the

will be made on the tariff bill until after
the silver bill is out of the way.

ARevolt OF Manageable Phoebe
Maidens.
Virginia Enterprise: For weeks past the
gossips of Phoebe have been busily en-
gagged in working up a matrimonial boom.
Ten couples had been worked up to the
sticking point, as was supposed, by the
old women Of the place. All that was
wanted was priest to complete the bust
ness, and one was sent for to Salt Lake
City. The man Of God arrived last week
and the old gossips sailed forth to con-
summate the business they had worked
up. The whole thing, however, ended
in fzzle, for as soon as the prospective
brides caught sight Of the priest their
little fluttering hearts failed, and they
all took to the hills. At last accounts
the girls were still holding themselves
aloof in the brush, and the matrons Of
the town were trying to coax
them to come in and deliver themselves
up to the sacrifice.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

When the present congress assembled
outlook for the interests Of the people IN
national legislation was very gloomy.
The very small majority of the dominant
psrty in the House of Representatives,
it seemed, would be hardly able to steer
a course profitable to the country, against
the united filibustering efforts OF the mi
nority; and some of those best acqualn'
ed with legislative methods fully ex-
pected that all beneficial work in Congress
would be prevented by the obstruction
tactics Of the Democrats. Now, how
ever, those tactics have been defeated
and the prospect for practical valuable
work is brighter than for many years
before. The people of the east are
coming to understand the silver question
in its true light. and the effects are
shown by their representatives, Of whom
considerable majority now seem incli'
ned to deal more fairly with silver than
it has been dealt with at any time since
the demonstration fraud of 1873.
The tariff question also is receiving an
intelligent attention which will probably
result in a better regulation of that ne.
cessaArily and continuously agitated
matter.
Could our law makers, when they have
accomplished something in the above d.
rection, give their minds, and little OF
the peoples money, to the Improvement
Of our foreign shipping, the Congress
now sitting would be long remembered
above many others for useful practical
and patriotic work.
