provided by the new law. which purports to be
tor the relief of the Supreme Court but Mr..
Harrison proposes to try their patience. as he is
going to Maryland tomorrow for few days of
wild duck shooting. and says he will do nothing
in the matter until his return.
Ex Speaker Reed has pretty thick skin, but
he couldn't hide the chagrin he felt when every
democrat in the House voted against the usual
resolution of thanks that Mr.. Mckinley, after
vainly trying to persuade democrat to do it.
had offered. Served him right, is the verdict
among democrats.
senator Villas is here looking just as natural
as when he SO successfully preside over the
Interior d partment under Mr. Cleveland. He
says that Wisconsin has cut loose from the re-
publican party for good and all. and that her
vdte may be confidently counted upon for the
democratic candidate next year.
1t is pleasing to know that the Fl ty-frst Con-
gress did one good thing. 1t passed the Inter-
national copyright bill, although it was appar-
an,ly done under misunderstanding, and Mr..
| Harrison signed 1t with quill pen, from the
| wing of an American Eagle, which had been
provided for the occasion by one of the editors
| of The Century magazine.
Senator Edmunds is entitled to thanks for
| having baked Senator Plumb's scheme for
transferring the employees of the Census bureau
to the regular classified departmental service,
| without the formality of a civil service exami-
nation. Mr.. Plumb attempted to hitch it on to
| an appropriation bill, but Mr. Edmunds raised
a point of order against it, which was sustained
| by the chair.
| And while giving thanks 1 must not forget
| the democrats in the House. who with the aid
| of few republicans. jumped upon the Pacific
cable subsidy job" after it had been agreed to
| by conference committee. and strangled the
| life from it.
The democratic Senators also deserve well fer
the smartness they displayed in preventing the
mail subsidy bill from being sent to a confer
ence committee. which would surely have in
corporated the tonnage subsidy bill in it. 1t is
much better to accept the least of two evils than
| to have to take them both.
Senator Ingalls, made very "small' use OF
his last official hour He dismissed the clerk Of
| the committee of which he was chairman and
| appointed his son, Paul ingalls,, clerk to the
| committee The object lies in the fact that the
clerk draws his salary during the recess, bu
does no work. Senator Wolcott at once EN-
ployed the dismissed clerk as his private sec.
| retary.
There were some disgraeefui scenes at The
last night session of Congress. caused by tina
old time offender, John Barleycorn. The tips1

Which of you is coming to Shansi? ?
'DiA LORD DAVIS.

The following letter was written to friend in
this city. under date of December II:
Nearly two years of school will have passed
since left you. before you receive this. The sun
shines just brightly and 4he moon and stars
look just as they did when I saw them from Ra-
VIENNA. We have foreign furniture in houses,
and if you were to find yourself in our sitting
room. you would scarcely think you were not in
America. The floors are brick. and we have
straw mating upon them. The walls are bricked
up about three feet and a-half, and painted.
while the other part of the walls and ceiling are
whitewashed. Part of the windows are glass and
one is paper. The Chinese have paper windows.
it is so much cheaper. and occasionally they will
put in little piece of glass. perhaps seven
eight inches square. We have in our sitting
room, a stove, bookcase. small table, chest of
drawers. sewing machine. organ. desk and dining
table. chairs. pictures, &C., and are real cozy.
The houses are built round a court, and are not
very convenient. We have three rooms in the
part at the end of the court, two bedrooms and
one sitting room. Then in the part of the house
on one of the sides of the court are Mr.. Davis
study, and my kitchen and store room. So you
see we have to go out doors to go from the sitting
room to the kitchen. Tha court. too. is paved
with brick. 1t is gray in color, not red like ours
at home.
The chapel. where :Chinese service is held on
Sunday. is on our place. and here go to church
every Sunday. The women sit cross legged on
:kong," This is much like a rostrum, only
built up about two or three feet high. Under
meath or at one end of this they build fire. so
that the kong is warm to sit upon. The women
sit upon the kong by day. and at night it is used
for bed.
They are very ignorant, these poor Chinese
women. very few knowing how to read. They
sew and cook. and know nothing of the outside
world. The better class of women never walk
upon the street. but always ride in a cart. Some
have feet so small that they must either carry
cane or have another woman upon whom they
can lean while walking. An Emperor once for
bade foot binding. but the women replied they
would rather die than have large feet. and the
Emperor was not courageous enough to enforce
his command. .
would want to begin at one end of the Empire
and clean every step you took. They are so
dirty. We see children just as pretty as some
who used to go to school to me. but so dirty you
can hardly see their skin. They live in dirt.
Give my love to the teachers. Mr., Davis re-
members you and sends regards. and Miss
Lord" sends love.

Salvage OF S25O,O00 CIaimed-To Be
ToWed to the Snund

Salvage OF S25O,O0O CIaimed-To BE
lowed tn the Sound.
PORTLAND, Dec. u.-[Special AFTER arriving
mere thursday evening Captain Edwards of the
ZamDesl, ascertained that the filing of his state
ment IN regard to reseuing the whaleback
steamer Charles W. Wetmore with the British
vice consul aud notary public at AS
toria would not suffice to secure any
salvage, SO he and Mr.. William Dunbar.
UPON s agent, at once took steps to file libel
IN the United States circuit court against the
"etmore. After keeping a haokman busy for
three hours running hither and thither the
necessary papers were filed, and a warrant for
the arrest OF the Wetmore went to Astoria on
the night boat. The libel sets forth the fact
OF the Wetmore being found disabled and being
towed into Astoria by the Zambesi, and alleges
that as the value of the Wetnore is s2O0, 900,
and her cargo is worth $500, ,000 the services
rendered her are reasonably worth $780,
O00. The Wetmore was taken charge of this
morning by a deputy United States marshal,
and before she can be released her owners will
have to furnish bonds in the sum of $500 600
The reasons for haste i'll the matter are that it is
desirable that suit should be brought in the
court here, as Upton's agent is here and if the
Hetmore should start for the Sound, in tow or
otherwise, and be lost on the trip the Zambesi
could collect nothing for the services rendered
salvage cases are not common here, that OF
Captain Flavel and Others against the steamship
queen oi the Pacific, Tor pulling her off the
sands at the mouth OF the Columbia, being
about the only one ever tried in Portland.
Several tugs were engaged in assisting the
Queen of the Pacific off the sands on which she
had stuck, and the court allowed them some
thing over 100000, which was divided among
all concerned. In such q case a great many
things have to be taken into consideration by
the court, such as the value of the vessel saved
and the cargo, the peril in which she was, the
value OF the rescuing vessel and cargo, the
amount OF labor performed and the risk run in
saving the disabled ship. The salvage allowed
is divided between the owners of the Ship the
officers and crew, everyone down to the cook
getting a share, according to the wages he is
paid.
ASTORIA, Dec. ia deputy United States
marshal this morning attached the whaleback
Charles w. Wetmore, libeled by the steamer
Zambesi for $3.50, 900 salvage. Captain Hastings,
OF the Wetmore expects the tug Sea Lion from
the Sound tomorrow TO tow him to Port Town

Rough Experience of the Arcata.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE steamer Arcata,
which was two days overdue from Coos Bay,
Or, arrived today 1t was Captain Saunders
first trip on the Arcata, and according to his
story IL was one of the most stormy passages
ever made on the Coast. The stesmer put to
sea last sunday at D. m The bar was smooth
and there was no trouble until o'clock, when
it commenced to blow south by east. The gale
increased to a hurricane before midnight and a
cross sea was running high. 1t was continuous,
and at p. III. on the 9TH every window in the
were ruined. heavy crashed against the
bridge, lifting it from its fastenings The seas
continued to break over the steamer
In this fashion, smashing the boat
clamps, filling the pilots room with
water and carrying away forty feet of the rail
on both sides OF the vessel. The storm did not
abate and the captain ordered out sea anchor,
consisting of three short piles dashed together at
one end and weighted at the other with can
vas bag loaded with chains to keep the steamer 8
head 70 the sea. The engines were kept going
at full speed for three hours and then the cap
tain cut away the anchor and tried TO get to sea,
but could not. The steamer was headed mort h
aud drifted with the sea fully sixty miles.
There was forty feet of water in the hold and
she was leaking badly. Three steam pumps and
the syphon were kept going to get the water
out, while the men and buckets were brought
into service bailing out the engine room.
Everything was flooded, and the gale lasted
until o'clock Tuesday morning.

sTIFLING SMOKE IN BUTTE.
smeIter Company Lights Ore Heaps
in Defiance of the Law.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. ll-tspecial. THE CON-
munity is considerably worked up over the fact
that the city is and has been for more than
eighteen hours enveloped in the most dense,
sitting smoke known in the history of the place.
1t is a common occurrence at this time of the
year, when the air is still and cold, but it has
never been SO bad before. The cause has just
leaked out, resulting in the arrest of some OF
the employees of the Boston and Montana Copper
Mining Company. A year ago the death rate in
Butte was very large, and was attributed to the
smelter smoke nuisance. The city council
passed an ordinance requiring smelling COM
panies TO roast the in kins at least seventy
five feet high. All the companies except the
one named complied with the ordinances. They
continue to roast ore in heaps on the ground.
For several weeks the company has been en-
gagged in building five heaps OF enormous size.
A few days ago Superintendent Thomas Couch
left the city for Arizona At IL
o'clock the same night the torch was
applied to the heaps. The result Is that the
people are suffering from unusually heavy
clouds OF dense smoke anu sulphur fumes.
Many people are leaving afraid that last years
death rate Will set in again The district court
Judge issued an injunction restraining the com
pany from continuing the nuisance. Unless the
fires stopped at once It will be several weeks
before the heaps win burn out
There is talk OF organizing q committee OF
citizens 20 destroy the heaps. The feeling
against the company grows hourly, aud should
a mob go out the compsny's plant may suffer
The action on the part of the company is looked
upon as a defiance OF the law and the peoples
