SOMEBODY FOUND 'EM;
Awful Disaster In the Family OF b
Naturalist.

AWful Disaster In the Fanlly or
Naturalist.
A naturalist, who is absent-minded
to degree, recently celebrated his
silver wedding. Just as the first
guest arrived, one of the daughters
was sent to summon the father, who
was all ready, and came into the par
lor. The daughter noticed that her
father carried in his hand a small
wooden box, and as he shook hands
with the nearest guest, she saw him
drop it. The cover rolled off, but she
gave a sigh of relief when she saw
that the box was apparently empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered q
cry of dismay, and instantly went
down on his hands and knees in ats
tempt to sather up something.
"Have you spilled anything, faith
err" she asked.
"Spilled anything!" he echoed, in
evident indignation at her calm tone:
II have lost so feas that I have just
received from Egypt"
The effect of this intelligence on the
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon
the company before the evening was
over.

DOWNING THE RINGS
A Surprising Victory in a Great
Democratic Stronghold.

Chance for the state of New Jer-
sey to Cast ITS Vote fOr a ERe-
publican Political Pointers OF
the state of washing ton.
New YoRK, April firing rule appears
to be doomed everywhere. The official re-
turns of the election held in democratic
ring-ridden Jersey City last Tuesday, give
Colonel P. F. Wanser, the republican can
didate for mayor, the magnificent plurality
Of 1857, almost 1000 votes more than his
most enthusiastic admirers expected him
to receive. The nnayor-elect has been kept
busy ever since shaking hands with repub-
licans and democrats who called at his
office to congratulate him. Numerous let
ters and kilograms have been received by
him from people in all parts Of the state
congratulating him for his victory over the
ring. The republicans and democrats in
Jersey City are united in the belief that
this victory means the defeat of Governor
Albeit for the United States senate next
winter. From every quarter in the state
news of the overthrow of the democratic
ring, which has for years piled up vast ma
jorities and elected governors, has been
joyfuIly received. It is accepted as a re-
pudiation Of Abbettism, and the possibii-
ty Of the entire state becoming republican
is discussed. In 1883 Harrison carried the
state outside Of Hudson county by 1000
plurality. If the democratic plurality in
Hudson county can be kept below this the
state will be republican beyond doubt.
The mayor-elect says that 5000 democrats
voted fol, him. He believes that 5000 lille
gal votes were. cast by direction Of the ring
against him.

ANTI CHINESE BILL.
Pelton Of California is Watching
Senator Dolph.

HE Will offer Certain Amendments
to Gray's Bill, which He Thinks
is Necessary Matter OF Reg
istering tile Chinese.
WASHINGTON, April is. Senator FELTON,
thinks it probable Dolph will call up his
Chinese bill in the senate Immediately, so
he has been at work preparing certain
amendments that he intends to offer. He
will move to strike out all after the enact
ing clause Of Dolph's bill and insert in lieu
thereof Geary's measure with the following
changes: He will move to strike out that
part Of section.of Geary's bill providing
that the secretary of the treasury may
make such rules and regulations as will
allow Chinese and other than Iaborerss or
artisans, to temporarily visit the United
States; all of section 13 of Geary's bill after
line IL is stricken out This last provision
requiring Chinese now within the United
States to pay three dollars for
certificate of residence, to be issued
by the commissioner of internal revenue
or his deputy. Certificate of residence
should be required, Senator FELTON, thinks,
but it would be unjust to impose
tax upon the Chinese for this
porpose while our own people are
not required to pay a fee for such registra-
ton, as the expense is borne by the state
government. AS there are certain senators
who would surely have taken exceptions
to this provision FELTON, believes it to be
good policy to make such change in it.
Felton's amendment viii propose that
money be appropriated by congress to pay
for this Chinese registration.
He estimates that there are 100000 Chi
for each certificate should be about ffty
cents, which wonld require an appropria-
ton for congress therefore of about$100,OOO.
It's not believed the senators will antag-

SUNDAYS SERVICES.

Sunday was typical Easter Sunday
and nature itself smiled as ii iii approval
Of the manner in which the resurrection
was comnemorated. The churches, with
out exception, were filled to oyerlowing,
and the many beautiful floral decorations
appeared in harmony with the soul-stirring
anthems and carols, which were chanted
and sung with the spirit Of the day
The knights Templars in their magnif-
cent uniforms, marched to st. Johns Epis-
copal church, where they occupied the front
seats reserved for them. The sermon of Rev.
Mr.. Buck was addressed chiefly to them.
IN the evening the services were equally in
teresting. At 10:30 five adults were bap-
tIzed. The decorations were strikingly
beautiful, with arches Of ivy atthe entrance
OF the church, which the chaneel and altar
ratings displayed the delicacy of the smi-
lax and white blossoms. One Of the most
attractive designs was cross of Gala lilies.
The musical programme was carried out as
printed In HE TRIBUNE of SATURDAY..
In the afternoon the children's s exercises
were held, after which each scholar was
presented with colored egg

TERRIFIC WEATHER.
Enormous Damage to the Crops
Throughout England.

They are Practically Destroyed and
the Situation is serious -Prostra-
tiOn of Telegraph LInes-Over-
flowing Riyers-A Cold Wave.
LONDON, April 18.-The severe weather
which set in here last week continues.
Many places on the ground are covered
with snow foot deep, and regular biz
yards have occurred. There is enormous
damage to fruit and vegetables. In many
places the river overAowed its banks, and
and the adjacent country is flooded. Crops
are destroyed. In some places the situa-
ton is really serious. The snow and sleet
Frustrated the telegraph poles and cut off
telegcaphic communication So serious
was the destruction to wires that the ordi-
naay force Of inemen was unable to cope
with the difficulties, and soldiers were
ordered to their assistance. Great damage
was done to the crops in the Channel
Islands. A heavy storm is raging today
in North Wales and Cheshire Advices
say that a cold wave is beginning to be felt
on the Baltic. Dispa ches from Paris and
the north Of France say hail and sleet is
falling and the weather is bitterly cold.
THE FLOOD AT WINNIPEG.
WINNIPEG, April 18.-The flood crisis
here is thought to have passed. Yester-
day, in order to relieve the pressure of the
ice on the Louise bridge, the Canadian Pa
cihc railroad company used dynamite free
ly. This started the ice to moving and it
poured past IN great volumes, sweeping
everything before. Boat houses were
crushed telegraph poles snapped and
switch boxes were torn away. Scows were
thrown up on the banks and portions of
the piers of the Broadway bridge were
swept down stream. The water began to
fall rapidly. Unless the ice jams further
down the stream as it did in 1882, which
was the direct cause of the disastrous flood
Of that year, it is probable the worst has
been seen. The Northern Pacific tracks
along the river front are rapidly becoming
visible again.
ANOTHER CYCLONE.

from the western part of the Greek nation

Browns VALLEY, Mimi, April Is.
Trouble is brewing between the filers and
squatters on the Sisseton reservation. The
question at issue is whether the squatters
got possession before the filings were made.
One hundred and fifty filers at Watertown,
who were in line, passed through here and
entered the reservation. They claim it was
impossible for the squatters to reach the
point on which filings were made from the
border before their filings were completed
therefore they propose to have the land on
which they filed. They cannot get it with
out a fight. 1t may be several days before

STOP THE PLAGUE SHIPS.
The President Has the Power.

The President Has the Power.
Pittsburg Evening Leader.l
The Leader agrees with THE DISPATCH that
President Harrison has the power and the
opportunity to keep the cholera out of the
United States, and that inaction on his part
will amount to a crime; for the imperiling
of the lives of seventy millions Of people Is
undoubtedly criminal in its consequence, if
not in intent.
The only way in which cholera can be ex-
cluded from this country is by putting an
instant stop to immigration. 1t is not
enough that immigrants from cholera-in-
fected ports are quarantined. Quaratining
is only partially effective. 1t is not and
never has proved to be an efectual barrier
against the importation of disease germs.
In order to shut out the plague, there must
be absolute prohibition of immigran t travel.
The law licenses immigration, but when
there is genuine danger to the nation the
President is vested with discretionary
power superior to the law. and 1t now de-
wolves upon him to use that power instead
of wasting precious time looking after his
political fences.
The state of affairs which fs before the
Chief Executive Is too plain to be miscon-
strued. Let immigration continue, quaran-
tine or no quarantine. and the cholera must
inevitably reach the United States and prob
ably destroy tens of thousands of lives Let
immigration be stopped now for an indefi-
mite period, and the chances of the coming
of the disease will be reduced almost to
nothing.
There is no excuse for the avoidance by
the President of what is his clear duty. He
has the opportunity now to prove his mettle
and it is painful to contemplate the conse-
Quences if he fails to avail himself of it.
