REPRESENTATIVE FITHIAN of l illinois,
thinks that while the republicans are
hurrahing over the legislation granting
the rights and privileges of American
registry to the two big ships of the In
man line, is a good time to get the
question of free ships before congress
and the country, so he has introduced a
resolution asking that June 6, and 6
be devoted by the house to a discussion
Of the bill providing for the free ad-
mission of American registry of ships
built in foreign countries, the final vote
to be taken at Q o'clock p. M, on the
9Th. This is regarded by democrats
generally as a good move, as the bill, If
passed by the house and forced to a vote
IN the senate, will show that the repub.
lican senators did not vote to admit the
City Of New York and City of Paris tc
American regirtry because they favored
free ships, but because they wanted the
Inman company to get some of the
postoffice ocean mail subsidy, which
they could not receive without having
an American register. 1t is probable
that Mr. Fithian's, or a similar resolu
ton, will be adopted by the house.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-05-14


Without much doubt Blaine is out of
the presidential race, notwithstanding
reports to the contrary. HIS letter an
nouncing that he would not be a candi-
date was sincere, although the grapes
are sour. Mr. Blaine's career is full of
sharp lessons to all who aim at success
full careers in American public life. It
teaches once more WolseY's moral,
Corruption wins not more than hon
esty," and shows plainly that honesty is
best in politics, after all. There is no
more amazing incident in the record of
this republican politician than the ease
with which he bamboozled so large a
number of Irish-Americans into the be-
lief that he and his party were their
only friends, and their only safe guides
for the indirect amelioration of the con-
dition of Ireland, as far as it could be
influenced through American politics.
It was the biggest humbug and conf
dence game Of the age; and, stranger
still, it almost succeeded. The people
who wandered off into political bye.
paths of this deIusion are now in q
strange predicament. They never
warmed to Harrison; and Blaine has
now left them out in the cold. 1t is tc
be hoped that their eyes will soon be
opened to the folly Of their delusion
and that they may return to the true
fold in time to retrieve their error be
fore the next election.

rREAcHERY OF KINGS.

VINO Killed Their Architects for Fear
Othe- MOnArChs Should Employ Thorn.
Noman-al-Aouar, an Arabian king
who reigned long, long ago at Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him wondrous palace. This the
architect did, and when it was done a
single stone fastened the whole struc-
ture and the colors of, the walls changed
frequently during the day. The king
was greatly pleased and showered all
kinds of rich gifts upon the builder
with the lavishness of oriental kings.
But monarchs were treacherous in those
old days, and it occurred to the king
that Sennemar might build a palace
equal in beauty, or even superior, for
some rival ruler. The more he thought
over It the more Jealous he became, un-
til one day he ordered the architect to
be thrown from the top of the palace, to
make certain that no duplicate palace
would be made. After this the king
was satisfied that his palace was the
only one and the Arabians regarded it
a. one Of the wonders of the world.
This old story is told by the historian
D'Herbelst, but another and similar one
IL related by an Irish writer. If they
are both true 1t proves that kings were
equally treacherous all the world over.
Ever 30 long ago an African colony
resided In the north Of Ireland, and
Neimheidh, ruler who came there
with his people, selected four Of them to
build for him. This potentate was
rather e1travagants for he wanted two
palaces. However, these were built,
and magnificent buildings they were,

incidents 70 work for the kings and

trouble. Lessons like these should havs

THE RosLYN HORROR.
Another Explosion Feared - Caring 4,
the Destitute.

Another Explosion Feared - Caring for
the Destitute.
SEATTLE, Wash, May 13.-The work
Of bringing out the bodies of those killed
in the Roslyn mine explosion is being
carried on night and day, as fast as
brave hearts and willing hands can ac-
complish it. The rescuers have been
working necessarily for the past AZ
hours and are completely tagged out,
but they cannot be persuaded to cease
work until all the bodies of their friends
and fellow-workmen have been res
cued.
Gas has accumulated in vast clouds at
the bottom of the slope whers it has
been driven by the fresh air which has
been pumped into the mine. 1t would
not be at all surprising should another
explosion occur at any minute, and, al
though the explosion of Tuesday was
enough to tear huge timbers into splint-
ers, twist large iron pipes like wire and
carry huge chunks and boulders of coal
bodily up the passage, it is thought by
experienced men that If another ex-
plosion does take place the shock will be
more severe than in the former explo-
sion and the mine will be sadly dam
aged, thus rendering the reaching of the
bodies impossible for q week or more.
Every effort is being made by the coal
company to relieve the restitution
which prevails to large extent among
the families of those killed. The COM
pany has thrown open its stores, and all
those in need of aid have but to apply
for what they want. kilograms of con-
dolence and relief are being received in
large numbers by Mayor Miller. Port
land has sent nearly $780, Watson and
Spokane 500, White & Co., of Seattle,
500, and many others have con-
tributed.
A heavy rain has prevailed for the
past. As hours, but despite this the
widows and children of tue dead miners
whose bodies are yet uncovered crowd
around the mouth of the mine waiting
for their loved ones to be brought to the
surface. Their grief ON seeing the
charred and bruised remains of their
husbands, fathers or brothers, when
brought forth, is heartrending. The
scene once seen will never be forgotten,
and strong men who stand by and wit
ness it weep like children. Many
| strangers are in the city.

ror-NO Clue Co the PAir's whereabouts.
BROOKLYN, May 14-Church circles In
South Brooklyn are much stirred up over
the simultaneous disappearance of Lee
Tod, also known as Edward w. Lee, an
Americanized and ''converted'' China
man, who was q member of the Chinese
Sunday school Of the Greenwood Bap-
tist Church in Fifteenth street, and
Miss Grace French, a pretty brunette,
90 years old, who was his teacher.
Lee, who long since discarded his
queue and adopted American styles,
formerly had laundry in Court street,
and besides being Sunday school pupil
he belonged to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. On Sundays Lee wore
American cut clothes and patent leather
shoes and diamond pin sparkled in his
scarf.
He came to America from Canton,
China, where he is said to have wife
and two children living, and established
himself in Brooklyn.
He became a member of the Chinese
class of the First Baptist Church in
Pierrepont street, where Miss French and
her mother were teachers. When the
church building was torn down several
months ago and the congregation had to
seek other quarters, Miss French and
her mother visited the Rev. R. B. Hull
and obtained his consent to teach the
Chinese pupils in the Sunday-school Of
the Greenwood Baptist Church.
Miss French asked leave to bring with
her Lee Todd and another Chinaman
from the Pierrepont street church, and
the Rev. Mr.. Hull consented. Several of
the Sunday-school people noticed Lees
fondness for his teacher and commented
upon it. When it was reported about
two weeks ago that Lee and Miss French
were engaged to be married it created a
sensation, but Miss French promptly de-
| MED the rumor.
Miss French left her home on Wednes-
day and hasn't since been seen. Lee
disappeared on the same day and his
| friends have yet to hear from him. The
friends of Miss French put the two dis
appearances together and hint at an
telopement.
| When the disappearance of the pail
became known ON Thursday efforts were
made by the young woman's family tt
keep the matter secret. The Rev. DR..
Hull was indignant and took steps to
have Miss French's name dropped from
the list of teachers.

BERLIN, May 14.-The head of the firm
of Loewe & Co., which, it was charged
by Rector AhIwardt, had furnished de-
fective rifles to the army, and Colonel
K uehn, manager of the factory where
the arms were made, began the prose
cution of Herr Ahlwardt yesterday.
The Liberal newspapers say they trust
the action will dispose of the charges
against Loewe & Co., and allay tn G
excitement which. it is feared, may
lead to an anti Jewish movement. A
great impression has been created by
the resignation of an offer named Eos

declared that he would sooner resign
than lead into action soldiers armed
with rifles made by Jews.
