The Noyes- Rockwell contested election con-
test Of the 2Sth District of New York, was set
tied OH Friday, April %. after an exciting con-
test. Mr. Rockwell is Democrat, and was
given the certificate of election, and has been
holding his seat since the organization of the
SD Congress. In his account of himself in the
Congressional Directory he says he received
1910 votes TO 10 351 for Henry T. Noyes, his
Republican competitor; bare plurality of e9
votes, as there were over 1000 votes for the
Prohibition candidate. The majority of the
Committee on Elections reported in favor OF
seating Mr.. Noyes, but az Mr.. O'Ferrali. the
Chairman of that committee, said, Senator
David 3. Hill, who is townsman Of Mr..
Rock well, used his influence with the Demo
Gratis of tho House to such an extent that the
report of the committee was defeated and Mr..
Rockwell allowed to retain his seat. The de-
bate occupied the entire time of the House for
several days and was very exciting at times,
some of the Democrats INDUCING i'll personail-
ties among themselves. Col OFerrall says the
retention of Rock well is an outrage for which
the Democratic party of the whole country
will have to bear tho blame.

Plans for a novel structure arc being pre-
pared by the Supervising Architect OF the
Treasury here in Washington, for Govern
ment building to be erected at Ann Arbor,
Mich. The University Of Michigan is located
at Ann Arbor, and for many years the most
serious breaches of the peace that the authorI-
ties of the University have had to contend
with have been the frequent student rushes,"
which generally take place in the corridors of
the postollice building when the boys como in
the evening for their mail. There have been
some serious conflicts between the lads Of the
University and the police Of Ann Arbor and
many heads have been broken. On one occa.
sion d policeman was MANNED for life and
student was killed in one of these rushcs The
protection for the citizens aud the officers Of
the law which the Government will supply 10
in the shape of all outer wall of stone around
the entire corridor Of tho main floor Of the
new postofice building with openings at points
about ten feet apart, SO that the police
drive the students from the corridor at mo-
ment's notice in case of contemplated rush.
The building is the first of its kind to be
erected, and is, therefore. in the nature Of an
experiment. If successful, it may DO copied
III other college towns.

Dir. Ho Shen Chez the official translator Of
the Chinese Legation in Washington, is in very
hot water at present. as the memorial present ted
to the Senate regarding the refusal of China
to receive Hon. Henry w. Blair distinctly
states that the Interpreter has been hoodwink-
ing tho Chinese Minister, Mr.. Tsui Kwo Yin,
by false interpretations. For some time ru-
mors have been ahoat about the Legation that
the Chinese Minister has openly accused Ho
Shcn Chez of rascalty in his TRANSACTIONS. and
only the latter's approaching departure for
China has kept the volcano, which is said to be
slumbering beneath the Legation, from burst
ing forth in all its fury. 1t is claimed that
HO Shen Chez CARRIED many TRANSACTIONS Civ
ing a coloring for certain pecuniary reasons.
