And Glorifes the Premier's Wisdom in

France Inclined to Kick. However,
The Parnellites Play Another Trick
and Give the Ministry a Close Call.
LONDON. June 2O.-Henry NJ. Stanley, in
replying to an address presented to him at
Berwick yesterday, took occasion to refer
to the recently consummated negotiations
between Great Britain and Germany on
African territorial affairs. Stanley I'M
qualifiedly glorified the wisdom of Lord
Salisbury, which, in it's exercise had re-
suited in the addition of 500,0 square
miles of territory to the British empire.
Stanley said that instead of being called
upon to intone the doleful jeremiad he
could cheerfuliy sound pean of praise
in honor, not only of the happy outcome
OF Anglo German negotiations, but of the
premier who had made the result posi-
ble
The Realization of a Great Dream.
Continuing, Stanley said that the reali-
cation of the great dream of those who had
oSeh anu Wcfc tiiSdScu III the WORK OF eX-
ploring and civiiizing the African CONT
nent from the Cape of Good Hope to
Cairo now became a possibility God, he
added, had given the premier wisdom to
act to this end and long might he live
and flourish. He felt confident that if he
could muster all of the chiefs of the region
that England has acquired they would ac-
quiesce. The date of the agreement would
he red-letter day in the African calen-
dar. Ii Pemba alone were put upon the
market, he said, it would bring ten times
as much as Heligoland. He thought the
mayor ought to call meeting to congrat
ulate Lord Salisbury.
HeligOlanders Don't Like 1t.
Tue inhabitants of Heligoland who are
all Germans, are filled with dismay, how
ever, at the prospect of being handed over
to Germany's rule with the inforced mil
itary service and other arbitrary conditions
which the transfer will impose upon
them, and the tide of protest against the
cession of their territory has set in strong
ly. The emigration of its inhabitants on
so large a scale as to virtually depopulate
the country is already threatened as a re-
suit of parliamentary ratification of the
provisions of Lord Salisbury's settlement.

The house having gone into committee

The Conservatives cheered the result, but
their cheers were drowned by the triumph

escape of the government.
The Unexpected Happened.
1t is not at all the custom of Home Rul-
ers to curtail their speeches: in fact. it is
just the other way, and the government
did not expect Storey to forego the pleas
ure so dear to the opposition of hearing
themselves talk; and Smith voiced the
feelings of the ministry when he said that
Storey had not finished his speech when
the debate was last adjourned, and it was
thought he would continue it; therefore
the government had not been prepared for
an immediate division.
Ingenious Mr.. storey
Storey thought Smith was never salts

the government by surprise. The oppo-

All the Votes, However, Carried by

nunciation-General Capital City Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 20.-Yesterday
was great day in the house for the silver
men. The fight over the reference of the
silver bill began as soon as the journal
had been read, and was kept up until ad-
tournament at p. m, the result being a
Democratic victory, the Democrats being
reinforced by seven free coinage Repub-
licans. After the immediate consideration
moved by Bland had been voted down
Wednesday, the chair instructed the clerk
to record the silver bill referred to the
committee on coinage, weights, and meas
ures. This was 'pizen" to the free coinage
men, as that committee is opposed to free
coinage, and they girded up their loins
and prepared to make it interesting for
the speaker when the house again con-
vened. The first gun was fired when the
journal had been read, as is customary,
the CieTh otililtiuS ccrtalu routine matters,
among which was the silver bill reference
Upon Mills Directing, the speaker directed
the full reading, which was done.
A Lively Scene to Begin With.
Then Mckinley, who with Mills, was
watching for recognition, caught the
speakers eye and moved the approval OF
the journal, demanding the previous
question. Mills protested and Springer
got excited, and shouted out to the speak
er: You can1gnore the rights of repre-
septatives of the people, but the people
will put You down at the polls next No
vember, and your party with you" This
was rapturously applauded by the Demo
Gratis. The speaker remained calm and
the vote was taken, resulting in eleven
majority again the previous question, thus
refusing to approve the journal. The Re
publicans who refused TO vote with their
party were Bartine of Nevada, Dehaven OF
California, Kelly of Kansas. Kerr of Iowa,
Lind of Minnesota, Morrow of California,
and Townsend of Colorado. Applause by
the Democrats.

Sufferers are not generally aware that

fact, and the result of this discovery
is that simple remedy has been form

ness and hay fever are permanently
cured in from one to three simple APP
plications. made at home by the patient
once in two weeks.

crabs now. Hot crabs, cold crabs, hard
crabs and soft crabs Here's the crab
man comm along"
One night not long ago Secretary
Noble met the old crab man on Fiji
teenth street Now, Mr.. Noble is one
of the most dignified of officials, and
Sam, IL crab man, has most genial
soul. am knew the Secretary and the
Secretary did not know Sam. With a
bob of his head and scrape of his foot
Sam planted himself before the Secre-
tary of the Interior and said:
'-Mis'r Sekertry, I'm Sam, de crab
man. Does yer wanter buy crab?7
"A crab!'' CALCULATED Mr.. Noble, inGig-
nanCly.
'Yessir," remarked Sam, as though it
was the most natural thing in the world
for Cabinet officer of the United States
to buy his supper in the street.
For minute the old darkey and the
Secretary stood opposite each other.
The negro's attitude bespoke strong
commercial instincts, blended with
hypocritical enjoyment of the situation,
while Mr.. Noble was little embar-
raised and good deal angry Finally
Sam accented his plea with grin that
stretched clear across his dusky coun-
tenance, and slight smile distended
the Secretary's face as he quietly
dropped quarter in the darkey's hand
and went on.
Now, it is hard to tell whether sam
is an employee or the head Of the firm IN
the crab business, but as soon as he had,
with Negroes suspicion Of gift,
dropped the quarter on the sidewalk and
heard it's sitvery ring, he quietly seated
himself on step. drew from his basket
the crab for which Mr.. Noble had paid
and proceeded to lunch himself.

Couldn't stand success.

To some men prosperity is really q
burden, and George La Blanche may be
classed with them. He had hard time
to establish a reputation for himself,
and after he gained the enviable honor
of having been the first man to defeat
Jack Dempsey his Uranium became a
size or two too large for his hat Pros
perity forced itself upon him after this
fight, and the saloon which he opened
in San Francisco with the money he
made out of his go" with the Non.
pariel' for long time did fiourishinR
business. La Blanche gradually grew
inattentive, and the fact that represent
alive sporting men frequented his place
for weeks had tendency to still fur
ther increase the size of his head. When
the novelty Of the thing wore off the re-
ceipts naturally diminished, and though
the profits accruing from his business
were sufficient to assure the proprietor a
comfortable living, La Blanche system
atically proceeded to blow himself in, y
and to-day he is practically without a
dollar Several suits have been begun
against him by wholesale liquor deal
ers and others, and it is expected that
the Marine" viii wind up as a business
man very soon.
