 TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2.-Gov Humph- rey has ended the Senatorial struggle by appointing exCongre @sman Bis hop w. Perkins United States Senator to succeed the late Preston B. Plumb. This conclusion was reached after ma ture and careful onsideration.
 In the present crisis. when Kan sas which had heretofore been the ablest represented State in the Union, was practically without a Senator, Gov. Humphrey felt that the people demand ed the man who could best take up the work of Senator Plumb. He believed Judge Perkins, who served eight years in Congress as one of the leaders of the House, best fitted for the duty, and, af' ter weighing the claims of all candi- dates so electel

ouUraRas of Chinese Rebels.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 2.-While the main body of the rebels in Manchooria appears to be broken up, marauding bands still roam through the country committing g outrages and murders. The animosity of these outlaws seems to be chiefly directed against the landowners, whose lives they take without mercy, and from this it is inferred that agrarian troubles have something to do with the out breaks. The marauders also destroy the temples and plunder the altars, having no more respect for the native than for the Christian religion. As in fantry would be useless against the swiftly moving bands of depredators, Viceroy Ii Hung Chang has sent a body of cavalry to attack them.

CITY OF PARIS TRIP.
Toughest Voyage the Captain | Ever Experienced. -,.
NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE SHIP.
Madame Patti the Only Woman on the
 Passage Who Was Not Ssasick.

Stayed in Her Cabin ThrOughodt the En-
 tirs VOYage-A vSsssl in Distress
 Sighted, But She Required No Aid
 Delayed by a Succession of Heavy Gales
 and Terribly High Seas.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Capt. Watkins, of the steamship City of Paris, which arrived here two days overdue, and for which the greatest anxiety had been felt, tells the following story of the voyage:
 ''It was the toughest trip have ex perienced in years, and was by all odds the stormiest experience that the City of Paris has had. We had to bu ffet against Q continuous succession of heavy gales and terribly high seas.
 For about 53 hours we had to slow our engines, as the SC as were too furi- ous to push the ship through at tn 6 usual pressure of steam. We were de- layed about five or six hours on leavinG g Queenstown on acconnt of very hea " fog, and on Sunday evening, Dec. 27, we lost about four or five hours in com = munic ating with the Llandaf City, of the Bristol City Line, which was flying signals of distress. It was in latitude 49 deg. IF min, longitude 35 deg. IS min, that we sighted the disabled yes sell The sea was very high at the time, and could not get anywhere n ear her.
 "Finally stopped the City of Paris and lower ed one of the boats, sending an off cer to her. Her captain declined assistancs, and desired only to be re- ported that the engines of his boat were disabled, but that he expected to get along all right. She was bound for New York from Bristol. The seas had used her pretty badly and had left her only one lifeboat. The sealed letter which the captain threw to our officer l have in my possession now and will deliver to her agen ts.
 "Our vessel had no trouble of any sort. She behaved excellently through out the trip Our worst days were on Christmas and Thursday. The gale was terrific and the waves washed continu- ously over the decks. But no damage whatever was done to any part of the vessel. There was no fear or anxiety among the passengers at any time. Even at our worst moments, when we pitched and tossed about in a lively fashion, they took it all good humor- edly. The most of them were, of course, sick. For a day or two nobody made his or her appearance at the table.
 The City of Paris brought over 137 cabin passengers and 297 steer age pas sengers. The most prominent among the saloon people were Mime. Patti and her company. Patti was the onl } woman on board who was not seasick. She very rarely, however, made her 6 p pearance outside of her cabin, and b ad all her meals brought to her.

NO TIME TO SHAVE.

Men Can Spare Hours for All Sorts of Idie-
 ness, but the Barber Must Rush.
 Shave me just as quick as you can, !" said the man as he hustled into the bar ber's chair. 1T am in great hurry"
 The barber performed his office in the silence that marks the excellent work man, but whether direction spurred him is a matter of doubt. When he had fin ished, tipped his customer out of the chair, and was tucking the towel about the neck of his next patron, he broke the silence and inquired:
 Did you hear that man tell me to hurry? ?"
 "Yes. Why?"
 Because I have known him about ten years, and he is always in a great hurry in the barber shop. He drinks a good deal, but he is never in hurry at the saloon. He will go from here straight to Toper's tavern on Dearborn street, and he won't go out of there for an hour. He will not do any business and he knows it before he goes. He will simply loaf there till he can find no further excuse possible, and then he will go to his office. He will spend thfee hours and as many dollars in the saloons every day, and he will grieve and fuss and hurry up everybody when it comes to shaving.
 Men always have time to sit at their desks doing nothing; they are never in too much of hurry at the club; they have time enough to stand for an hour any day on the street and look at wom- cn; they can lose time in bed and at breakfast, but when they come to the barber shop they are in frantic haste Yet, if a hurrying barber happens to scratch them they get him discharged. A well-shaved man is respectable no matter what clothes he has on. One who needs shaving looks disreputa bic, don't care what he wears
 "When thing amounts to that much if I didn't have time to shave decent wouldn't shave at all" Then the barber moistened the ball of his thumb and tried the edge of his scimetar, snatched bit of paper from the shelf, and relapsed into silent in- dustry Chicago Herald

SPEAKER cRIsP's CONDITION.
Not Seriously HI, but Very Wenk-Ths
 Speaker Pro. Tom.


 Speaker Pro. Tom.
 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 2.-Spsaker Crisp is somewhat improved. The sensational reports as to the serious condition of the Speaker are giving that gentleman's s friends much annoyance. Judge Crisp has @ severe attack of the grip and nothing more. He has had no pneu- monia, nor has he been threatened witt h it.
 Dr. Walsh, the attending physician, said: Judge Crisp came out of the Speakership fight thoroughly exhausted physically. He ought to have bsen in bed 8 week before he was but he is one of those men that will never give up unless absolutely compelled to- He is still very weak, and this is why he doss take him two weeks to fully regain his strength. There is nothing in the Speakers condition to give his friends the slightest alarm" "
 The probability of the Speaker being unable to be = in the House next Tues day has set the gossips to guessing as who will be selected as Speaker pro tenn. Under the rules of the House the Speaker can, if he so choose, designate some one to preside in his absence. But it has been customary where a long ab- sence was expected to permit the House to select one of it's members. In this instance it is probable that the Speaker will designate some one himself.
 Some people have suggested that it would be the clever thing for the Speak CT to ask MT. Mills to preside in his ab- sence. Mir. Mills couldn't very we'll re . fuse, and it might result in bringing about better state of feeling, not only between the friends of these gentlemen, but themselves as we'll
 It is not likely. however, that MT. Crisp will do any such thing His friends contend that if MT. Mills is not a safe man to be Speaker it would not be safe to give him that power even for a limited period.
 Naturally there are a good many members who would be glad of this mark of distinct Bland, of Missouri, and his colleague, MT. Hatch, Mr Springer and Mir. McMilltn are all men, tioned as the likely men. The general opinion seems to be, however, that Mr. McMillin will be the fortunate one
 Should Speaker Crisp be confined to his room for several weeks it will seriously interfere with the business of the House. The party would not care to undertake much important legislation in his absence Owing to his illness the new rules will not be ready, and the House will be compelled to operate under the rules of it's predecessor.
