BURROWS GOT THE CASH.

A Little Side Issue INDUCED in by Congress
The correspondent of the New York World ia
responsible for the following racy piece of Cos
sip:
Congressman Fellows of New York, strayed
over to the Republican side of the Chamber
the other afternoon with half-dolar in his
hand. Approaching exSpeaker Reed he re-
marked, joculary:
"I'll match you for the half"
The House was in session at the time Mr..
Reed smiled and said:
"Weli, I'm afraid Ill have to go you"
Two half-dolars were clapped down the
ex -Speaker's desk with bang. Before Col.
Fellows could adjust his glasses to examine the
coins and see who had won, Mr. Reed picked up
the silver.
"You have lost, Colonel!" he said. "This
is the first chance ] have had to make any
money out Of you"
Col. Fellows mildly disputed Mr.. Reeds rul-
ing, and Mr.. Deliver, Of Iowa, who was witness
of the transaction, insisted that the ex-Speaker
had lost. Mr.. Reed was firm, and Mr.. Dollver,
by way of a challenge, said:
"I'll match you for the dollar"
"All right" said Mr.. Reed.
Mr. Dolliver won, and Mr.. Reed said he did
not care to risk another chance.
Mr.. Deliver wandered back to his desk.
Soon Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, heard of the
transaction. He turned to Mr.. Deliver and
said, sarcastically:
You think you're lucky, don't you? Well,
I'll Just match you for the So"
They matched, and Mr.. Burrows won About
this time the House adjourned, and the Colo
nels original haf-dolar jingled off In the
Michigan mans pocket.

RECENT LITERATURE.

THE CRIME OF CASTE By Benjamin R. Dav-
export. Published by the Keystone Publishing
Co., Philadelphia
The author of this essays to explain the result
of the recent elections on the theory that the
common people" punished the party in au-
thority because that party represented or was
under control of those who sought to create
class distinctions in free America, upon the
basis of wealth or assumed social superiority.
However, Mr.. Davenport does not sd vocate any
of the tenets of Anarchism even Socialism;
he does not write from either Democratic or
Republican party standpoint His whole
effort is to annihilste the pretensions of sham
common people" of free America against the
would be lords and barons." the "dudes" and
the "ehappies" of the commercial and social
world.

NEW CHINESE MINISTER.

News has been received to the effect that the
Chinese Governm ent ordered Mr.. Yang Yu to
report in person at once, and upon his arrival
he was offered the position of Minister to the
United States, which he accepted. He is ex-
pected to reach Washington early in May and
relieve the present Minister. The new Minister
has been Superintendent of Customs at Wuhu for
the past three years, and is an official of the
second rank in his own country. He is said to
be of the progressive type of his countrymen,
is possessed OF moderate wealth, but has had NO
diplomatic experience. The Chinese Minister
to the United States is ex ofici0 Minister to
Spain and Peru; but, Notwithstanding that
such a position is one of great dignity and re-
sponsibiity, the Chinese Government has ex-
perienced great difficulty in finding suitable
persons who are willing to gil it, because of the
Chinese exclusion act of the United States.
and it has been impossible to get man with
diplomatic experience to take the place. Ths
new Minister will bring his suite with him,
retaining only such persons of the present Lsga-
ton as would be particularly valuable by rea-
son of their extended experience in this coun-
try and their familiarity with it's language,
politics, and customs.

MISHAP TO A BIG GUN.

The first 13nch breech- loading rife in
course of construction at the Washington Navy
yard met with serious accident about month
ago. While in process of placing the jacket on
the tube, the jacket grasped the tube several
feet below the point intended, and there welded
fast. To remedy this accident it was decided
to send to Philadelphia and hire hydraulic
apparatus to force the jacket into its proper
position. 1t has been since learned that the
hydraulic apparatus will have to be built ex
pressly for this purpose, and. as it might never
be wanted again. it was thought that the ex-
pense for this one occasion would not be justi-
fable, consequently the rifle has been placed in
gun-pit in vertical position, and about the
jacket is arranged materials for heating it and
the tube also by means of an oil blast, and
when sufficient heat has been acquired to sx-
pand both the tube and the jacket, stream of
cold water will be worked up into the tube,
with the hope that the sudden cooling will con-
tract the tube and allow it to drop down into
the jacket and fit in its proper position. In the
event of failure continuance has been ar
ranged near the end of the tube to use pressure
and force the tube downward. If the last re-
sort is unsuccessful the jacket will have to be
cut away, causing loss of $14 900.

Said to be Successful in Every Way, Accord
ing to the st. Louis Trial.
Postmaster Harlow, of st. Louis, Mo-, has
made report to the Postmaster-GeneTal,a after
a two weeks trial of his street railway postal
ear service. The st. Louis and Suburban Rail-
way. over which the postal car runs is q post
route Is miles long, passing the shipping doors
of the postofice, and has three sub-stations To-
Gated directly upon it. one full station three
blocks away, and number of postotfices upon
the road beyond the city limits. The car is %
feet long, including the front and rear plat
forms, and eight and one-half feet wide; is
fitted up somewhat like q railway postoffice in
side, and is operated by double dynamo with
capacity of % miles an hour
Postmaster Harlow says that he has in view
a plan by which eight electric cars could wisely
be put to this service, by which stations and
sub-stations would offer additional facilities for
the public and serve as rallying points for car
riers, and that the time of 90 or more carriers
would thus be saved, and the same men could
be put to better use. During the two weeks
covered by the report the number of pieces of
local mail received and delivered, at saving of
from four to five hours each, has been from 300
to 500 daily. Mr.. Harlow regards the trial as
emiuently successful in every way.

ANOTHER PENSION DEFICIENCY

Last week Secretary Charles Foster. of The
Treasury Department, sent to the House Of
Representatives a communication from Secrs-
tary Noble. of the Department Of the Interior,
submitting an estimate for deficiencies in the
pensions for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1893. Secretary Noble, in his letter to Secrs-
tsry Foster. says:
The original estimate for deficiency Of
sos 1921 was made by me on a careful ex-
animation of the matter, and after consultation
with the Commissioner of Pensions. And no
sufficient facts have been presented to me TO
change my view as to the accuracy of that esti-
mate; but due regard for the Commissioners
and desire that enough money at least NAV
be provided by the present Congress to meet
the demands of pensioners to the end of tho
fiscal year, without any doubt induces me to
forward this additional estimate for your con-
sideration and transmittal by you to Congress"

A FRIEND OF THs HEATHEN.

Congressman English. of New Jersey, is
growing quite popular with the Chinese of this
country. because of the interest and position lie
has taken upon the Chinese question. DR..
English believes that China would be perfectly
justified in retaliating upon Americans in that
Empire and giving them the same treatment
which is melted out to the subjects of that
country in America. He thinks that if China
should adopt some such policy toward Ameri-
cans, it would deal such a blow to the COM
merce of the United States that it would arouse
the business interests of this country to such
All extent that it would bring to an end the
discriminating legislation which Congress has
enacted against the Chinese. He is not how
ever in favor of an unlimited immigration of
Chinese coolies or cheap laborers. He thinks a
law should be passed not to admit any China
man unless he has passport from his Govern
rnent, vised by the United States Consul at the
port of his departure. For this friendliness
toward China and her citizens DR.. English has
been receiving attention from the Chinese
Minister at Washington, and has also been
visited by several naturalized Cinnamon.
