WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

as he was escorted to the

nous vote of the democratic
Representatives, today, was
greeted by salvO after salvo
OF applause from the floor

from the earnest manner in
which ne was applauded by
every democrat in the cham
ber, it was apparent the t the
long and hotly contested
fight in the caucus-the long
est for many years-and lett NO
bad blood among the friends
of the defeated candidates.
Another noticeable and com
mendable thing is that tho
friends Of the victorious can
dates have shown no dis
position to crow over the
friends of those who were de-
feated. The democra ts of the
House are today a united
and compact body, and there
is every prospect of thir le.

ing the HeWulean efforts of
the republicans to create dis
cord, and failing in that, to

THE SEARLEs WILL CASE.
Testimony of General Hubbard
 Those Southern Pacific Stocks.

Testimony of General Hubbard
 Those Southern Pacific Stocks.
 SALEM, Mass, Oct. 23.-At the after noon session General Hubbard testified that the management of the estate had taken nearly all of his time for the last year and half and it had taken fully as much of MT. Stillman's time. Saw Mrs. Searles at the Victoria hotel about June 5, 1888, and in conversation she said she wanted someone to manage her business who was near at hand. In the latter part of May, 1890, witness went to Mrs. to be drawing but little while Mir. Searles was drawing quite iberally. She asked if that was not right. Witness said yes, if paid all her bills and she wanted him to. She did not want to keep a bank account or have anything to do with matters of business.
 "Were any changes made in the record title of partnership before Mrs. Searles' death?" was asked.
 "Yes," was the reply, 'in Southern Pa cifc and the Pacific Improvement com pany-both had been transferred to the partnership, but had remained on record as in the name of Mrs. Searles.
 "What was done?'
 "Those two stocks had been transferred on the books from the name of Mrs. .Searles to the name of the partnership"
 Witness had no personal knowledge of these wills, and had never attempted to influence Mrs. Sea1les in regard to making her will. Mrs. Searles always impressed him as a woman of alert mind and spoke as woman of quite settled opinions when she spoke on matters of business. Witness never advised keeping matters secret from Timothy Hopkins.

LECTURE ON PARIS.

LECTURE ON PARIS. Rev. MT. Meserve Describes Paris Its Famous Palaces and Art Gall laries.
 Rev. I. c. Meserve of the Davenport Congregational church delivered last night the last of his series of four lectures on his late travels. He was a delegate to the In- ternational Congregational council in Lon don and after the council party of seven with himself, travelled through Germany and France. The subject of his lecture last night was Paris. He spoke especially of the palaces and art gallaries. "The finest picture in the Louvre, to my mind, y said he, ''is the Madonna of Murillo." He presented the merits of Reubens' History of the Bourbons and David's Coronation of Josephine by Napoleon. In describing that unique tomb of Frances hero, "The Hotel r Invalides," he spoke of Napoleon thus: The people of France are held in that Napoleonic legend as no other country is held by any other man. He bears almost the same relation to the French people that Christ bears to us.
 In Paris there is population of 2,OO0, GOO. Of this number there are 100, 1000 criminals at large who would not stop at murder. There are 100, 1000 convicts in prisons and 10000 insane. From these sources was nourished the poisonous plant that blossomed forth in the com. mune The French people live by sensa tion and not by principle. They have | been preparing for war with a desperate energy for twenty-one years, and vel they might, too, for no one knows wher the desperate czar of all the Russias vii plunge the country in great war. The people of France, too, feel they are ready for war and are restless. The best way te avoid war is to disarm the nationalists but this can only be done by tremen dous war.
 He described at some length the morgue Grand Opera House, tombs of Abelare and Eloise, and many other famous Parisi an scenes. The lecture was in MT. Me serve's pleasantest vein andwa listened tc with delight and profit by the large audi | ence.

ATTACKED BY PEASANTS.


 Houses of Jews in Starodoob Pill 1aged and Burned-The Russian Navy. ...
 ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 23.-Peasants have attacked the Jewish inhabitants of Starodoob and Jews living in villages in the vicinity of that town, burning and pillaging shops and dwellings of Jews and severely ill-treating the occupants. Is order to prevent the accumulation of wheat for speculative purposes the gov ernment has decided to prohibit the sale of large quantities of that cereal to any single Russian purchaser.
 The Novosi says: "The launching of the new Russian ironclad Navarino on Tuesday last is the beginning of scheme to reorganize the Russian navy. A great Baltic fleet able to defend Russian interests on the high seas and to carry on opera tions in hostile waters will be created; also fleet to protect the Baltic coast line, with number of armed cruisers.

The report shows the at tack to have been brutal and cowardly and to have been made because the men were Americans. Mir. Egan will present the matter to his government, but will not make formal demands upon the Chilli an government until he hears from the state department. The Chilian government has informed MT. Egan that safe conducts will not be issued for the refugees now in the United States legation. The supposed ground fol this refusal is that the men are criminals MT. Egan continues to demand safe con ducts for the men. The question now ap pears far from settlement.
