vass-West Virginia's Debts.

WAsHINGToN, May G.--Quite q number of
the members of congress were seen on the
streets to-day. Mr.. Hemphill, Of South
delegation would vote on the speakership
question next winter. Only three of the
old members from the state had been re-
turned to the house.
Congressman Julius Caesar Burrows. of
Michigan, who has been to Pttsburg max
ing republican high-tariff speech, said
that as he was 80 close he thought he would
make flying trip to the capital to look up
some department matters. He complained
of finding the city very dull; but sad he felt
easy and considerably revived since his op-
ponent for congress had decided not to con-
test. "1t looks as if there will not be
single contest before the next house,
added MIR. Burrows. "There's no use The
democrats have about all they want. There
will be very few of us in that body any
way
Representative Springer was at the Met
ropolitan hotel this afternoon talking with
Senator Ransom, who has just returned
from North Carolina. Both have had bad
attacks of the grippe, but they are rallying.
MIR. Springer said he expected to leave for
Illinois in about ten days. He claims that
his speakership canvass is progressing very
satisfactorily, and that the democrats of
his own state will stand loyalty by him.
Senator Ransom says that everything is
quiet politically in his state at this time.
Quite breeze was stirred upa few weeks
ago, when the president appointed an igno-
rant colored man to be collector of customs
at Wilmington, the leading city in North
Carolina. He appointed another colored
man to the same position before congress-
adjourned. but the senate refused to con-
firm him. The appontee is imported from
the to wnof Salisbury, far up in the state. and
the people of the city do not like the thing
at all. The announcement of the appoint
ment was not sent out from Washington,
but was quietly given out in the state.
Congressman Cummings before leav-
ing for New York this afternoon, ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Flynn, of
the New York Herald staff, would prob
ably be nominated to succeed the late
Gen. Spinola in congress. Ii not Flynn,

from visit to New York. 1t is said that
he made most favorable impression in the
metropolis, and that majority of the New
York delegation in the house appear to
favor him for speaker. His right bower is
Amos Cummings. Mr.. MoMillin is all
tght tHs on d the tariff and every other question
has won his spurs. He is at all times an
atfable and genial gentleman, and his
friends think that he is going to make
lively race for speaker.

ROthschilds Withdraw Their Offer of
Money for Russia.
LONDON. May 6.--An increase in the Bank
of England rate is likely in view of the
probable withdrawal of gold. Russia is
angry over the Rothschilds' action in call
ing in balances in the European capitals.
The Bourses are much disturbed, remem-
bering the result of such recalls in the
cases of the Compton des Compte and the
Barings crises. Leading bankers are less
apprehensive, knowing that any such vim
dictive action would endanger any future
Russian loan, while Russia knows its stocks
are too heavily held in Europe and that the
kothschilds' action will cause a permanent
depreciation.

Moscow, May 6.-The Gazette is indig-
nant at the English and American press
ignoring Russia's connection with the Ber-
ing sea matter and declares any agreement
made without Russia's consent will be
worthless. The Gazette speaks with re-
spectful sympathy of the American claims
and says it is time England was taught that
the possession of a powerful fleet does not
entitle her to treat every bit of the open sea
as her peculiar property. The Gazette pro-
poses that America and Russia settle the
question without reverence to England.
