A PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.
william Walker Springs One In the wash
inRtoA Post.

inRtoa Post.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 60. William
Walker. in letter to the Washington
Post, raises a question in connection
with the approaching election, that
may be Of Importance as it certainly is
of interest Referring to the general
accepted theory that the electoral col
lege Of 1893 will contain 444 votes, Mr..
Walker says:
Paragraph 2, section /, article 2, Of
the constitution is as follows: AL
states shall appoint in such manner as
their Legislature thereof shan deter
mine, number of electors equal TO the
whole number of senators and repre-
sentatives to which the state may be
entitled in the congress-
ITO which congress does this refer is
the question. Is it the one in existence,
or the future? The Fifty-third congress,
upon which is based the IA electoral
votes, cannot exist until after the
next president and vice president
shall have been elected If the
membership of the Fifty-second
congress shall decide the election in
case there should not be IN election by
the electoral college and not the Fifty
third congress, why is 1t that an cleo
toral college based on the new appor-
tionment under which the Fifty-third
congress is to be elected shall decide
the election?
Each political party seems to be
acting upon the same premises, but
would it not be wise to .conAider this
question in time to avoid what might
eventuate into dangerous complica-
tion?"

Respectable Young English Women Out
ragged In . Railroad Compartment.
LONDON. May 17.-There appears to be
an epidemic of assaults on women travel
ing alone in railway compartments. Yes
terday a painter named Windle was ar
rested at Retford for assaulting q cook
named Hannah Cordock in a railway car
riage. The prisoner was arraigned today
and remanded for trial. Another case,
which is all the blacker from the fact that
the offender is minister, was reported to-
day. Rev. Kennedy Bell, rector of Little
Bedwin, in Wiltshire, was travelling In
company with Miss Britain. daughter of
the Kittenbury station master. He spoke
to the girl, and she, seeing he was clergy
man, entered into conversation with him.
Finally he made an improper proposition,
which she Indignantly spurned, but he
took advantage of his superior strength
and indecently assaulted her, though not
until she had made a desperate struggle to
escape. When the train reached Great
Bedwin Miss Britain got out, but did not
mention the assault to the guards, telling
her parents, however as soon as possible,
what had befallen her.
The tram proceeded on its way. and a
telegraph operator took Miss Britan's seat
in the compartment Bell engaged her in
conversation, and at last tried to fondle
her. She repealed his advances, but he
persisted and grasped her about the waist.
Despite her frantic efforts to free herself
he succeeded in assaulting her. AS usual,
he communication cord was not in order,
and both girls, though they shrieked for
help, were not heard. After Bell had
committed the crime he talked to Miss
Abery, pointing out to her the disgrace
that would accrue to her should she tell of
the affair; but she refused to listen and
at the next station notified the guards of
the occurrence and the reverend scoundrel
was taken into custody. Shortly after
wards the police were informed of the
assault made upon Miss Britain. Bell,
who is a married man with two children,
has heretofore borne an excellent reputa-
ton. The girls are also of the best char
acter. The affair has caused widespread
indignation, and the feeling against Bell is
very bitter. He was remanded for trial.

RISE OF THE FRASER.

Melting SHOWS Swell tho Big Rivers
feeders-Danger Of . Flood.
NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c.. Nav 17.-rSpe-
cial. ]-Advices from Yale say water in the
Fraser at that point is rising by leaps and
bounds. and that there is every indication
OF extraordinary high water this season.
Opposite New Westminster the water is
nearly three feet higher than a week ago
and the river is full of driftwood. a sure
indication that the streams emptying into
the Fraser have overlooked their banks
already. Continued cold weather in the
interior and the unusually heavy snow
fall in the mountains during the past
winter will be sure to make the usual sum-
mer freshet heavier than ordinary. Very
little snow in the interior melted until q
week ago. but spell of warm weather set
In, and the mountain streams are trans
ferred into perfect torrents. Some per-
sons believe that the foods of 1882 will be
repeated this summer, but it is impossible
to foretell anything of the kind, though all
indications point to it.
