The New York papers have the following
from San Francisco:

Sunday night she left black Nanny Pleas
ance's house and said she was going to take
rooms in Stockton street. Yesterday she met
voung Porter Ashe on the street. and he gave
her money for her immediate wants. She
then engaged "A room at the Russ House, but
when the proprietor discovered whom be mad

%yiously engaged. She refused to bulge. but

AS luck would have it, she ran across Sey-
mour near the entrance. told him what she
thought of him. and kicked him on the Sims.
II is very evident that something will have TO
be done TO restrain Sarah Althea. as she Is so
restless she will not remain in one place more
than two or three days, and she Is apt to fly

The Worlds Washington gossip has thefol-
lowing: Ex-Speaker Reed enjoys a reputation
for making clever eplgrams. His opportunl-
ties for injecting them into the record are BY
no means as frequent In these days rs when
he was able TO crush "a noisy member with a
stroke of the gavel and a cleyerly turned
phrase of contempt. He gets "a chance now
and then to say something sharp and witty.
and his utterances generally find their way
into the press. A short time ago a man wrote
to Mr.. Reed asking him his definition OF
Statesman" Mr.. Reed replied "A states.
man is a successful poltician-who Is dead. "
Mr.. Reeds correspondent gave this letter
to the press. and a man in Boston who saw 1t
sent this sarcastic message:
Why don't you die and become a states
mann
Mr. Reed without a moments hesitation
seized a telegraph blank and sent this reply:
Not yet. Fame is the last intrmity Of
noble minds.
The Herald's special from Washington con-
tains the following.
What is 10 be the policy of the Democrats
regarding free silver was the question l pro-
pounded to Senator Hill. of New York. to-day.
Mr.. Hill smiled one of his knowing smiles
and replied with an innocence chlldllke and
bland.
Il am a new senator. and ! have not as yet
been able 10 discover that the Democrats
have a policy about anything"
As the Senator turnedtC go awayl pumped
another question at him Senator, the burn
ing question of the hour is how will you vote
on q free silver bill if one comes before the
Senate."
The Senator was unprepared for so leading
o question, and il evidently disconnected him.
A moment later he made this guarded state
ment:
II will not cross that bridge until 1 com
TO it," Then, as if fearing that more difficult
bridges might be thrust before him, he turned
and walked away.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
makes up a table alleged to be based on
interviews showing how the vote will proua-
bly, stand III the national convention at the
outset. 1t gives Hill 2S5, Cleveland, 265, and
$50 for a Western man. 1t is interesting TO
note that it gives all p of Virginia's votes TO
Cleveland, from which Nireinians can fairly
guess how far the table IS reliable.
