A contributor to N recent number o2 the Atlantic Monthly 'discourses on cer- tain small particulars wherein English manners differ from American. The English gentleman, he finds, never says ~'sir" to any except royal persons, the American gentleman oftensays "sfr" to his elders, and commonly to such of his equals as he desfres to treat with re- spect. So the ideal American gentle man aims to be courteous to his inferi- ors (as he regards them), and at least as civil to his servants as they are to him. Whereas, this contributor says, 'the English servant or underling lllIes to be treated brusquely and arrogantlS and the English gentleman sell dom fails to gratify him"
 Most of us, sagely remarks HaTper's Weekly, who are good Americans be- lieve that American manners are based on, sound ideas, and would far rather see our cousins emulate our behavior than ourselves swing at all into line with theirs Only in ''the service' 1t is possible that American manners may be less serviceablc than elsewhere, and English manners more desirable; and fl that is so it is pity, and the officers are entitled to our sympathy and an ir' crease of pay.

 to be Discussed at Length.

Rights af Goternors to Appoint Senators
 to be Discussed at Length.
 WASHINGTON, March 27.-The indic:t7 tions are that this week the Senate will undertake the discussion and perhaps the decision of one of the most important con stitutional questions that have arisen in tlat body in late years, namely, the right of Governor of a State to fill vacancy in thH United States Senate which occurred while the Legislature of the State was ill session.
 The report of the two factions of the committee will be presented, and as the disposition is. when plsce theee cases hre be fore tie Sennts. to push them to d conclu tiOn as rapidly as is consistent With the proper expression of the vewa of all Sena- tors who have examnBd the questions in volved and desire to make their sentiments known. it is probable that instead of talk ing a three days recess the Senate will sit almost daily.
 The unknown quantity i'll the calcula tion of the weeks work is the disposition ot the leaders on either side touching the mat ter of reorganization.
 It is expt cted that the Democrats through MT. Gorman, will present the eau GUS nominations for Senatorial offices to morrow or next day, and if q serious con trovCrsy threatens to follow the matte may be brought before the public througl proceedings in open session.

THE SENATE JEALOUS.
Ministers Promoted in Rank to Ambsssa-
 dOrs Must Dn ReConfirIMed.

WAsnrNGToN. March 27,-Senatora 'tt the Capitol are !, unit in the belief that if the President sees fit to promote United States Ministers to the rank of Embassa- dors ;s he will be authorized to do in the case of our representatives to such powers as send Ambassadors here, such promotion will amount to Il new appointment and must be subjected to the approval of the Senate.
 The Senate is very jealous of it's author ity and the notifications to the State Dc partment by Sir Julian Fauncyfoto' and ratenotre that their credentials aS Elm bassatlors from Great Britain aud France rtspcctly Rte on the way here have caused the subject to be discussed pretty generally.
 From the statements of Senators it is judged that they will consider any promo tions of existing officials as new nomint- tions and will act upon them as II the names had never been before the Senate.
 The Constitution, they hold, makes a dis tinction between Ministers ana .lml&:ss;i- dors and prohibits the appointment of either without the consent of the Senate.

 Interest from Washington.
 WAsHtNGToN, March 27 - President Cleveland has finally made up his mind to call al, extra session of Congress next Sep tember. He has made this statement to several prominent members of both Houses of Congress
 This course has been believed to be the one most likely to be pursued by him, but the formal announcement has not heretofore been had.

 The first work that will come before Congress will be the consideration of |, tariff bill and bill to repeal the Sherman Silver Purchase act.
 Secretary Carlisle will soon be engaged in the work of drafting a Tariff bill foi submission to the Committee of Ways and Means when Congress convenes Some indignation was displayed by tht Democrats when it was suggested that the administl ation would present a tariff bill Secretary Carlisle has subdued this ran corous feeling by explaining that he would | only submit the necessary data for a tariff bill

THE village of Chincoteague, on the Virginia island of that name, is with out other government than that admin &tered by a local justice of the peace and county constable, although the place has moro than one thousand in hsnatants. Good order prevails, how eVerG in spite of the fact that a great many men arc idle for many weeks in summer. A strictly inforced local op- tacn law might be esteemed in part the cause of the prevalent good order but fcr the fact that the working of the leH Is considerably mitigated by a lively ''jug trade" with the mainland.

ACCORDING to competent authority the ideas of mankind and womanlkind as to which iS the costliest fur or skin known diffcr materially, and few are aware that the skin of a fox brings the highest price in the fancy skin market. This is the black fox of KamchatlSs, whose skin dresses q very becoming blue. These animals are very scarce and hard to kill, and for this reason especially their fur is worth small fortune, a single skin seldom going begging for q purchaser at as reason able a figure as one thousand dollars. Astral;hans are still very valuable, but they have no chance when it comes to competing with skin as valuable as the black or blue fox, which has so many lovers in Europe that much diff culty is experienced in securing it this side of the Atlantic. The skin is SO light that a cloak or jacket made ot 1t weighs a mere bagatelle, although it costs a first-class salaried man a whole years income to secure it."

He has survived moro accs> dents in his eventful career than would kill dozen ordinary men. He was once shot through the body with rife ball, has had both arms and both legA broken in a runaway, was blown awny in a tornado, was terribly cut.up with Q knife in a gambling ,scrape, and only last year during a row received Q blow from an ax which broke out a. piece of his skull. Last of ali, he was shot through the mouth and jaw with . shotgun few days ago. Just before the operation of removing the shattered iawbone began a preacher wanted to pray with the man, but was told hiz services were not needed.

PRIZE fighting is dead on the Pacific coast, and the future Is anything but promising for 8 revival. The Callfor- nia, the Pacific, the Palo Alto, and all other professional fighting clubs have closed their doors, and Hll promised contests have been declared off. All that remains for the sport to he com pletely stamped out Is tho governors signature to the anti-prise fighting bill and this is expected every day. Fo, such a move the Golden state should be devoutly thankful, and should every state in the union take up the cudgels of the law against the brutal sport the whole nation would have cause fol rejoicing.

THE veterans are beginning to array themselves against the prohigate fea- lures of the pension system, a number of Grand Army organizations having recently condemned the abuses that are being practiced in allowing pensions where they 'are not deserved. When the old soldiers take this position, the politicians, who have worked the pen sion system for the votes there are in it, will conclude that the passage of more pension laws and the extension of the pension rolls would be unprofitable poll. tics, in that more votes would be lost than gained by it.

WoALb'S FAIR AArKe sETTLEh Presidsnts of the Chicago Roads Tool
 Matters in Their own Hands.

CHICAGO, March e7.:-The presidents oi all the Chicago roads have settled on the worlds Fair rates. The matter was osten, ssibly left in the hands of the special com. mittee of the Western Passenger Associa. tion which was to report at the next meet, ing of the association, but the presidents took matters into their own hands, settled the rates, and will hand their conclusions over to the passenger agents, who will ap prove them, and they will then he formally adopted as the regular rates to the exposi tion,
 It Is not definitely Known just what rate will be adopted, but it will either be one and he-third or one and one-half, with the probabilities in favor of the former.
 The presidents have been compelled tc take the question into their own hands be cause of the impending danger of a gen eral demoralization of passenger rates which would have been the legitimate out come of a delayed decision on the subject Many of the roads were quietly preparing to handle excursions at their own figures and 1t would have been only a short time before there would have been a genera scramble for business which the president. were afraid would bring rates too low fo profits

FOURTH ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GEN ERAL MAXWELL, the gentleman who will wield the axe made famous by Vice President Stevenson, is on deck and all ready hard at work. There are several thousand resignations of fourth class postmasters on hand, and these will be disposed of before he begins the..work of removing republican postmasters. Speaking of postmasters, Postmaster General Bissell stated to a delegation of Missouri congressman that the policy of the department concerning appoint ments had been misrepresented by a certain class of newspapers. In the first place, it had been stated by these news papers that the recommendation of con- gressmen would count for nothing. As refutation of that statement the fact was pointed out that not a-single post master had yet been appointed who did not have the endorsement of his con- ' gressman. While not disposed to ignore \ the congressman, Mir Bissell said that the question of who should be post. master should, in a measure at least, be decided by the people of the locality
 who were more directly interested than
 anyone else, and that the wishes of the
 people, when expressed, would certainly
 be considered in making the appoint
 ments. Nobody is to be ignored; what
 the department wants is the co-opera
 tion of both the people and the congress
 men in the selection of such postmasters
 as will increase the efficiency of the pos tai service.

 FHILADKIfHIA, March 27.-It is learned from private resources that four members of the Peary expedit lon to North Greeland had been chosen. They are Dr. F. A. Cook of New York city; Samuel w. En- trikin, of West Chester, Pa.; Eyvand AstEup, now at Christiana, Norway, and Matthew Henson, of Philadelphia.
 All of the four men have visited Green land before, three of them-Cook, Astrup and Henson-accompanied PeRry's North Greenland expedition of 1891; while En- trikin was a member of the Peary Relief Expedition of last Summer,
 It is the intention of the explorer to take at least three and perhaps five companions with him on his next journey across the Island icecap.
 These win be divided into two parties one of which will survey the northeast coast and the other accompany Peary in an attempt to outline the land masses north of the mainland, and if conditions are favorable to reach the Polar Sea over the frozen ocean.
