The Intruder to Be Tried
for Insanity.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-Police Officer
Heller had violent struggle today with
an insane man who in some mysterious
manner got into the White House and
was looking for President Cleveland.
The appearance of the officer probably
saved the president from an assault.
How the fellow got inside the building
no one knows. He was not seen to en-
ter the front or the rear door. He ap-
peared in hall on the lower floor as
suddenly as though he had come through
the ceiling. A colored cook whom he
met he questioned:
II want to see father"
"Who is your father 2" the cook asked
him.
"Clevelsnd, OF COURSE" was the re-
sponse.
Just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene and asked what was
wanted. He saw at glance that the
man was not altogether right. ~.
"Your father is out in the garden, he
told the imperious visitor. Come
with me and we will find him."
They Immediately started toward the
door, the intruder thinking he was 20.
ing to meet the president, but the officer
knew he would land him at the watch
box. In few moments they appeared
in the little watch box where Policema
Hible was on duty. Before Hiblo knew
what was going on the prisoner grabbed
his (Hible's) blackjack from his pocket,
evidently thinking he was getting a
pistol. He tried to use the blackjack on
the officers. but they grabbed him and
the struggled lasted but q few minutes
before tho man wns overpowered.
At the staticu the crank gave the
name of George Washington and
refused to tell where he lived. No
one at the station remembered
ever having seen him before.
When asked what ne wanted at the
white house he replied:
II wanted that chair"
+ "What chair?"
"The presidents chair
Don't you think the president 6lls it
satisfactorily
"No,, DON'T" was the reply. "and /
intend to get it by fair means or foul.
Give me pistol and l will show who
will get it,"
He will be held for examination.

THE FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

The Congress which has been called to
meet On Monday is Democratic in both
branches. If the majority party were
united on leading issues. there would be
no trouble about carrying any of its meas
ures. But it is known that the Democrats
are divided on the silver Issue, and there
is much reason to doubt if anything like a
full vote can be obtained for any tariff bill
that may be introduced. Some Democratic
journals are calling for bill i'll literal full
fillment of the Chicago platform, while
others think it would be better to temper
the extreme demands of that document
with little common-sense.
In the Senate there are As Democrats
concerning whose party relations there is
no doubt; IS Republicans and Populists.
In the House there are 218 Democrats, 100
Republicans and Populists. Although
the year 1892 was not a good one for
Republicans, the House to meet tomorrow
will contain forty-two more Republicans
than were In the previous Congress. An
unpleasant fact is the Democratic repre-
ssntaton FROM the thirteen States classed
as Southern. OF 101 representatives from
this section of the country, ninety-seven
are Democrats. Ten Southern States have
solid Democratic delegations. Tennessee
has two Republicans, North Carolina one
and Kentucky one. As the Dem ocralic
majority all TOLD is but forty-fve. Its tariff
smashing ability was evidently derived
from States In which the protection policy
was a secondary issue. In New York City
and Brooklyn, in which the importing in
terest predominates. the Democrats have
fourteen N embers and the Republicans
none. The outlook against this particular
policy is not therefore so clear as has
lpen assumed

OUR MERCHANTS ABROAD.

The people of San Francisco will hear
with feelings akin to shame that the dele
cation Of San Francisco merchants who
went up to Oregon to spy out the land are
not, in point of dress and manner, up to
the Oregon standard. The inferiority of
the style of the San Francisco merchants
was discovered even before the Oregon
metropolis was reached. If we had sent
out delegation which failed to pass mus
ter at Portland our modification would
have been assuaged of much of its sting
by the reflection that Portland is notori-
ously fastidious; but 10 have our defcien-
cies made the common talk OF an interior
city is hard to bear. The Oregonian,
which has done so much to invest Port
land with the aristocratic air which takes
the assurance out Of the most pretentious
tourists. says the San Francisco mer-
chants will not do. They do not wear
good clothes; their hats come down over
their eyes, and their valises were of a
cheap variety. Some of them looked as
though they were more familiar with the
rural districts of California than with the
principal streets OF its big city. OF course
the fact that these merchants had gone up
to Oregon to see il some Of San Fran cisco's
lost trade cannot be recovered would not
influence the report OF a journal of the
high standing of the Oregonidn The
show was doubtless described as it ap-
peared TO the reporter. In fact. the Ore
gOnidn is so certain that San Francisco
cannot get any of Portland's trade away
that there was DO animus for prejudice
Still, in this benghted city an impression
prevailed that some Of the merchants who
visited Oregon were quite presentable.
