HERO OF A PRACTICAL JOKE,

A young man ofabout twen.
ty-five is just now the hero of
a secret circle Of friends in
the southern section Of this
city, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, and in view OF his
peculiar history, he quite de-
serves to be lionized.
Five years ago he was. a
clerk in II bank on a meager
salary, and one time some of
the same devoted friends Of
those days thought it would
be a good joke to pretend
the bank had been robbed,
and warn him that he was
suspected.
This a number did, only
they called him up about
midnight so as to give the
joke q more natural appear
,ance. After telling him that
two hours before, burglars
had stolen $4,000 in bank,
notes, they added that the
police werenow on the way
to arrest him as q suspect.
1t SO happened that he had
but two hours before been in
the vicinity Of the bank, and
fearful Of not being able to.
prove an ,alibi, he. gathered
his available belongings to-.
,gether and caught an early
morning train for the North.
OF course there was a big
row in the vicinity Of the,
young fellows home and his
funny friends had to leave
town. Fortunately the
young fellow was a bachelor
and he was not hunted np,I,'
Recently he wrote TO ali.
old acquaintance here from
Canada, and the letter in re:
plying to thelong-lost youth
told him the truth about the
bank Joke, Then the young
fellow came back but not as
he went away, I'M,
He rode in a parlor car
and swelled aroundin ahack.
He had gone to Montreal
and after the first shock had
settled down 70 work, and
gradually, by lucky specula-
tion, had grown rich.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

| Mess. Harrison and Blaine
| in their efforts to make poll
teal capita. for the repnbli-
can party and to aid Mr.;
Harrison in securing the re-
publican nomination next
year seem to have made a
bad mess Of the Behring Sea
trouble with Great Britain.
They have placed the United
States in a most undesirable
position, where we shall either
have to fight England or be-
come the laughing stock of
the world. The British min
lister it is said informed Mr..
Blaine confdentially. that
his government will lfireupon
any American vessel that at
tempts during the coming
sealing season to search or
seize vessels engaged in seal
ing in Behring Sea under the
British flag.
This information has, it is
believed, caused Mr.. Harri-
son to delay sending into
Congress the correspondence
between Mr.. Blaine and the
British foreign office and his
message OF explanation, all
Of which was ready a week
ago. Mr.. Harrison is per-
fectly willing that his adj
ministration should be the
cause Of stirring up the anti
British feeling, but he hesi-
tates to go to Congress for
ian appropriation Of money
for Il real war with England.
He fears that Congress might
brush aside the adinimstra-
ton theories and authorize
| the arbitra ton which it has
refused. Certainly we are
not in any condition at the
present time to fight Great
britain upon the water,
where we would have to,fight,
and the idea OF an American
back-down is not a pleasant
one to contemplate. There
may be some Congressional
music on this subject q little
later on.
A democratic conference,
including both Senators and
Representatives, was held to-
day for the purpose of con-
sidering ways and means Of
opposing the newly announ-
ced republican method Of
trying to force the Force bill
to a vote in the Senate by
holding long continuous ses-
sions for the purpose Of tir-
ling out the. democrats. 1t
was determinedto resist to
end any and all efforts on
THE part Of the republicans
to force a vote. Just what
yoYmEthis resistance will take
we depend entirely upon cir
|cumstances. II the republi-
cans get a quorum Of their
own members, which they
are working hard to do, it
will settle downto 9 question
LOT physical endurance. If
they fail to get a quorum,
Or to keep one presentit will
be easy to block their game
1.-THE democratic Senators
have only to absent them
selves, thus breaking a quo
rum, without (which no vote
can be taken. d
The republicans have tenn
pprarily abandoned their
gag rule, not SO much be-

- Wv NJ
anything quite as revolu-
tionary as that gag rule,
but they will not hesitate to
adopt it if their present plans
miscarry as they are likely
to do through the stubborn
ness Of the democratic oppo-
sition.
The democratic Senator'S
have vely'little hope Of re
pubicantahelp in Debating
the bill, as it is now certain
that not more than four
republicans will vote against
it, and If their votes would
defeat the bill it is doubtful
whether they would cast
them; they have in deferance
to the wishes of the constitu-
ents, let it be known that
they are opposed to the bill,
but | do not believe that
they will cast their votes
against it, unless certain
that they will not affect the
result. In other words they
are opposing the bill for ef-
feet at home, and in the hope
Of getting democratic votes
for certain legislation in
which they and their consti-
tuents are more directly in
terested.
1t is generally conceded
that the Joint resolution Of
fered by Senator Carlisle
authorizing the appoint
inent of three commissioners
to act with a like number
appointed by the Canadian
government in Investigating
the commerce OF the two
countries and deyising means
to promote and increase it,
is 1, step in the right direc-
ton and yet Mr.. Carlisle
says he Is certain that re-
publican Senators will not
allow it to be acted upon. He
says he intends Offering it
again at the next session.
The republicans who have
been shouting about the
reciprocity treaty which had
been or would shortly be
negotiated with Mexico We're
either ignorant of the subject
or. else were attempting in
tentionally to fool the peo-
pie The Mexican minister
here says that no treaty has
been negotiated and that
none is likely to be negotia-
ted at present, because his
country will not grant con-
cessions to an administra-
ition that has lost no oppor-
tunity to get the best OF its
weaker sister.
Justice Brown, the success
sor Of the late Justice Miller
took his today. Among
the audience assembled in
the Supreme Court chamber
was Attorney General Miller
who had himself looked with
longing eyes upon the va
can't seat. Hi

will wait two days longer for

ted he will move that the
