IT is doubtless source Of infinite con-
graduation to the Republicans to know
that Anthony Higgins cannot be re-
turned TO the senate by accident or
otherwise That thought puts them into
such a gleeful state that they speculate
foolishly but benevolently as to who
among the Democrats will be selected to
take the place Senator Higgins now occu.

their affair; they know the senators
methods. II has been said of
the women that they never have
but one important thing to do
that is, TO get married, and they
usually do that wrong. The Republicans
never had but one important Office to ill
in Delaware and they put Mr. Higgins in
that. They recognize their mistake and
would obtain divorce If that would not
create scandal. They see that the old
man is sick and knowing that it is impos-
sibie for him TO live longer than two
years they reluctantly consent to endure
him rather than expose all Of the family
scandals which result from a publica-
tion of the facts necessary to secure
the separation.

FEELING, no doubt, that he had been
out of public notice too long already,
Frederick Douglass has addressed cir
cular to the public stating that he does
not believe Cleveland will make any
violent changes in the tariff, and that he,
Douglass, has no fears that the condi-
tion of the oolored people viii be worse
than il is. The kindness and foresight
OF Douglass are exceeded only by his
self.conceit and ofiiciousness. He cannot
possibly know any more about
the plans or intentions OF
the President elect than he
knows about the comet Biela. There is
no more sense in his attempt to allay
the unutterably silly, apprehensions OF
feeble.minded negroes or to deny the
charges Of Republican demagogues, that
Cleveland will put the negroes back in
slavery, than in an attempt by him to allay
apprehensions that Biela will strike the

Debate In the Commons.

LONDON, Feb. BIN lhe House Of Com
mons yesterday, debate was continued on
John Redmond's amendment to the ad
dress in favor of releasing treason felony
prisoners.
MIR. Fitzgerald complained Of the
silence of Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
whom he regarded as the real jailor OF
Egan and DAILY. Sir William denied that
he had Stunned debate on the matter.
He agreed with the Home Secretary's
statement made yesterday. He denied
that there was any police conspiracy in
the case. The prisoners, he said, had
been convicted OF the most heinous crime
that could be conceived of. He de-
nounced Fenianism as calculated to incite
outrage, and said he could not support
the amendment.
Sir Williams remarks about Fenianism
were frequently warmly interrupted by
the Irish members. William Redmond
strongly repudiated the assertion that
Fenisnism melted violence. He said amid
Irish cheers, that men in Ireland had been
driven TO desperation by the tyranny Of
successive governments.
Tim othy Harrington said he was glad
Sir William had spoken in more kindly
tone shan he had in former debates. Mr..
Parnell had endeavored to convert Feni-
anism to the constitutional clause. No
Irish member dared to deny that Mr..
Parneli's plan Of home rule was what Ire
land wanted and had led to the cessation
of Fenianism.
Mr.. Mccarthy thought that Sir William
Vernon Harcourt's speech was unfair.
Although the Fenians were revolutionary
they never hsd anything to do with dyy-
amlte.
Mr.. Dillon said that to his personal
knowledge DAILY had opposed violence.
Sir William Vernon -Harcourt was evil
IDENTIFY prejudiced against the Fenians.
He (Dillon( believed that the convictions
of Daily and Egan were due to the English
jury being carried away with the excite
ment of the times and concluding that
the prisonery were members of dyna-
mite society. The universal experience
with amnesties granted to Irish prisoners
showed that they had q soothing in
tiuence on the passions OF extremists and
tended to discourage crime. He appeal
ed to the members to do a crowping act
of mercy which he believed would wipe
out forever treason felony and and those
crimes which disgrace the country.
Mr., Redmond's amendment was re-
jected-16S to 81. The announcement of
the figures was greeted with loud cheers
by the minority.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
A Free Trip Candidate Assists in a
Clever Rescue.
MILLER AND MASON DID 1T,
Charley Brander of East Providence
Ventures on Thin Ice and Was Only
Extricated by the Use of "A Good Deal
of Headwork."

All East Providence was taking this
morning about Charley Brander's narrow
escape from drowning late yesterday af
ternoon. AS usual the accounts vary
somewhat, some saying that Charley was
cutting ice, others that he was sSatingi
All agree, however, that the whole thing
happened at Bowen's pond, where the old
ice house is, nov full, and new one is
being erected just off South Broadway.
Whichever was the case, Brander got
out upon the thin ice which had formed in
a single night, where the big blocks had
been cut, and of course he went-ln. The
process of rescue wds very ticklish, as the
thin ice would not for an instant bear a
man. However, Wheaton Miller, who is
one of the candidates for the NEWS free
trip to Europe and whose picture appears
on page of this issue, and Joseph Mason
were equal 10 the emergency.
Mr.. Miller like the Emperor OF Ger
many, has only one good arm" But he
lay down fiat on the ice and with the other
grasped Mason's foot as the latter squirm-
ed along OIL his stomach 10 the edge of the
thin ice where the boy had disappeared.
When he came up Mason grabbed MIN.
The ice was perilously near collapsing
with his struggles, but by cautious hand
ling Mason was hauled off, and the boy
after him. The latter was pretty nearly
gone, but prompt treatment brought him
round all right.

ALBANY, Feb. 13.-Complete returns
from the twenty counties that elected
supervisors on Tuesday last show that the
Republicans elected total of 2is and the
Democrats total of III. making the Re
publican majority 134 as against thirty
six in 1891. In only two of these counties
was there Republican loss; one of these
was Chemung, the present home of Sena-
tor Hill, and the other Schuyler, his birth
place Three countries, Otsego, Putnam
and Seneca, were not changed from the
figures Of last year.
Fifteen counties made gains as follows (:
Broome. s.; Chenange, 4: Cortland, b;
Cattaraugus, Delaware, !; Franklin, -;
Herkimer, g; Madison, A; Montgomery,
2; Onondaga, =; Steuben. s Schoharie, 3 !;
st. Lawrence, Tioga, 3 Washington;2 2,
The Republicans carried the following
six counties which the Democrats had last
year: Broome, Chenanga, Cortland, Mont
gomery Onondaga and Stuben. IL is
that the largest Republican gains were in
the counties of Onondaga and Stuben,
each of which forms part of n Senatorial
district now represented by a Senator who
was counted in.
IL will be remembered that the State of
New York went Democratic last Novem-
ber by over $4,000 for Flower, and il was
hardly expected that there would be Re
publican gains in any Immediately subse-
quent contests. and IL is apparent that
New York is not as safely Democratic as
the result Of the last State election would
seem TO indicate.
