sockless Jerry simpson.


Jerry Simpson, the David Crockett of
Kansas, is man of peculiar composition,
and has considerable tact and aptness, if
not talent. He is the ''soxless statesman, >,
and is now in Topeka studying legislative
tactics and preparing himself, as far as is
possible, 10 avoid making awkward blum
ders when he shall be called to take part
in the Fifty-second congress. His eduea-
ton is very limited, and his pronunciation
shows lamentable knowledge of orthog-
raphy. His composition and letters must
bear striking resemblance 10 the produc-
tions of Josh Billings and A. Ward. Jerry
intimated this morning that the farmers
were going 20 be stubborn in the senatorial
election. as he said 1.-THE farmers eyes are
sot." But while Jerry Simpson is far
from being an educated man, the person
who takes him for a clown or a fool
will be mistaken. In some re-
spects he is an extraordinary
man. He is fluent speaker, and very
logical and convincing. He is perhaps S

about $50 pounds. His clothes are of the
''ready-ma,le" kind and, although he has
a fairly proportional physique, they lit

PosTNTEIIIGENcER SATURDAY JANUARY 81

10 hold aloof and the inactivity of foreign inter
ests In This market is noticeable and significant
as regards the impression created abroad by the
tenor Of the currency agitation in this country.
Later in the week ii Is true that there were
some symptoms of reyiving the foreign inter-
ests, though the market necessarily suffered
from the absence of its quota of support and the
interest which under normal conditions is con-
tributef by London and the continent. The re-
appearance of activity was at the outset marked
by decided bear movement in stock prices,
which began in the short market. On last
Saturday very favorable bank statement was
powerless to check it's course, and a more de-
cidedly declining tendency Was displayed than
during the preceding days of utter inactivity.
The decline continued through the early days of
the week, but was partially arrested by rapid
cornering of the newly created "short" interest,
supplemented by fresh buying due to the more
favorable situation indicated above
Today's market was unaffected by the sudden
death of Secretary Window. Prices were strong
and advancing in the morning, but lost ground
later in the day and closed duh and weak.

LOOKING TO HAWAII.

CONGRESS FAvoRs THE CABLE.
Appropriation VIII Be Made for Sur

Bill Submitted 1T Once.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. S0.-lSpecial l-Ha-
waiian matters occupied the attention of the
Senate committee on foreign relations to the ex-
ciuslon OF everything else, and there seems to
be feeling extant that something must be done
to win the good opinion Of the people of the lit
tie sea-bound kingdom. So long as King Kali
ekaua was alive the attitude OF Hawaiian islands
was never in doubt, but the uncer-
talnty which now prevails as to the
policy OF the queen, taken together with prob
able hostility for everything American, and ex-
IRENE friendliness for everything English, has
caused the state department to inspire the
senate with the thought that something must be
done without delay to prove to the Hawaiians
that geographically and politically they must

At the start it will not, it is thought, effect
any changes in the company already organized
and mentioned in the original bill. Mr. Hart
well, one OF this company, has the exclusive
right to land cable on Hawaiian shores, and
he will naturally have to be consulted by any
who think of entering into competition for the
privilege. The change in the bill was made in
spirit OF fairness to others who may want 10
become interested in such project, and no
doubt pressure was brought to bear on senators
by alert business men, who think they see an
excellent investment in this cable line, and for
whom the government subsidy has great charms.
As an earnest of the Senate committees
desire TO have cable stretched as soon as the
preliminaries can be arranged, Senator Doiph
was also instructed to report favorably another

India and China, made thorough studies of the
Indian and Chinese languages, and in 1873 was
called to the university of Yokohoma as pro-
lessor of European languages.
Stein was one of the handsomest foreigners
at the court of the Mikado. His disposition at
the university secured him admission into the
very highest societies of the japanese and thus
he became acquainted with the sister of the
ruler. She was not averse 10 his attentions, but
