little girls of Charles Harrington were play
ing on the Anaconda company's fiume this
evening, when one of them slipped and
partially fell into manhole. She was res

three and one-half feet of water in the
hume and the current is swift beyond dis
cription. Mr., Harrington, attracted by the
outcry of the child who was left standing
on the fume, ran up, leaped into the man
hole and swan down the dark, swift stream

kept gaining and at distance of several
hundred feet from the manhole came up to
his daughter. He struggled back to the
manhole and when he got out both he and
his daughter were more dead than alive.
The girl, who is eight years old, was un-
conscious, but she soon recovered.

Paper Was Served on Him.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Ihe facts in the
case of the rumored violation of the United
States consulate at Catamia, Sicily, have
been learned at the state department.. A
lawsuit was entered against Consul Charles
Heath and the local authorities entered the
consulate in serving the process. Heath re-
garted this us an infringement of his
rights and recommended to the department
of state that the consulate be closed.
The local authorities assured the charge
d. affaires at Rome that no further steps
would be taken until he. had ample oppor-
tunity to investigate; and, further, that
the process was served in the private part
of the consulate, and therefore was no
violation of the sanctlty of the consulate.
Heath was therefore instructed by the de-
partment not to close the consulate under
any circum stances.

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent !

WASHINGTON D. c., May 10, 1891.
Commissioner Raum has sent an official
communication to Secretary Noble, stating
that he has made careful approximation
of the probable pension payments up to
June 30, the end OF the fiscal year, and
that notwithstanding he has instructed
all pension agents to make as many pay
ments as possible between this and that
time, he is satisfied that a surplus will re-
main Of the pension appropriation for the
current fiscal year amounting TO at least
S0,76900. The cause OF the large sur
plus is, just as Republicans in Congress
stated that it would be, the allowance of
the large number of claims under the new
pension law, which did not carry with
them such large first payments as those
allowed under the older laws. When one
considers that the Pension bureau will
have 10 wrestle with Democratic
House for Its next appropriation. II almost
becomes matter Of regret that Gen. Raum
cannot fix some way to pay out that
nearly $10,0OO,0OO of surplus instead of
turning It back into the Treasury, as he
will, of course, do.
The President returned TO Washington
to-day from his 1900 mile tour looking
somewhat better than he did when he left
here and feeling splepdidly, aud greatly
pleased with the cordial reception lie
everywhere met with, as well as with
what he saw. lie will pitch right into
work on the important business which has
accumulated during his absence, with the
determination to clear his desk as soon as
possible. II will be great drawback US
we'll as a disappointment TO him in deal
ing with foreign matters, OF which there
are number awaiting bis attention, If the
state Of Secretary Blaines health shall be
such as To prevent his actively assisting, as
Mr.. Blaine has all the points IN all OF
these more or less complicated cases al
his fingers end, aud no one else
has. He has taken a special pride in per-
sonally mastering every foreign question
that has come up since he has been Secre-
tary of State.
Il is believed that the President has al
ready selected the men who will occupy
the bench Of the new U. s. Circuit court,
and that their names will be announced In
a few days.
1t Is stated that Associate Justice Brad.
ley, Of the U. 5. Supreme Court, who is
we'll past the age Of legal retiremement,
will retire some time during the next is
months, and that the vacancy will be
rendered to Senator Edmunds, who has al.

bench Of our highest court, and whose ac-
ceptance would be doubtful now.

ENGLAND may as well be told first as
last that she must keep her meddling
fingers out Of the political and commercial
affairs Of this cortinent. The United
States has in the past been indifferent
enough to allow Great Britain to obtain a
commercial supremacy In the republics Of
South and Central America, but the leth-
argy of Indifference has now been shaken
of, and in IFS place is Il determination to
have what belongs TO us-political ard
commercial supremacy on the American
continent-peaceably II we can; iorcibly'
If we must, and II any European nation at
tempts to thwart US, so much the worse
for that nation.
