Asia and It's Peoples.

The great continent of Asia, to which SO
much attention is given just now, is re-
markable for many things, but it is cspc-
cially noteworthy in respect of its peoples.
In the first place, it was the cradle Of the
human race; secondly, it contains many
more people-150 COO 600 more, say some
than the rest of the globe put together,
and, thirdly, in the Burmese it has the

PluckY Congressman.

Washington, Dec 22.-Mrs. Annie L.
Leahy was murdered by her step-father,
Joseph A. Bean, a stairbuilder at her
home in this city shortly after clock
this afternoon. The murderer shot the
woman five times, and after she had fallen
dead at his feet, kicked her time and
again. Then reloading his two revolvers
he drove back policeman who attempted
TO arrest him ana rushed out into --4e
street, threatening to shoot any one who
attempted to interfere with him.
Representative George d. Meiklejohn
of Nebraska, who was directly in Beams
path, grappled with him, disarming him
in trice and turned him over to the
policeman.
The congressman, who is 81 years
Old is a much smaller man than the
murderer, but he caught the latter in
such a Mariner as to pinion his arms to
his sides. Bean saw that a fight was i'm
possible and noticing Representative
Meiklelohn's watch chain, gasped, Are
you a Mason?'
Yes" said the congressman; what
have you done?
The murderer then told of his crime
and allowed Mr. Meiklejohn to take his
revolver and accompanied a police Of
tlcer to the station without resistance.
Beans wife drove him from home
some weeks ago and he accused his step
daughter of influencing her, and finally
became so incensed over the matter tnat
he decided to kill her.

oLARKE's CONFIRMATION.
Friends of the Judge at Work Among
the Senators


Washington. Dec. 22.-5everal Tennes-
see gentlemen called to-day upon Attorney
General Olney In regard TO the charges
preferred against Judge Clark. recently
nominated and confirmed TO be United
States district judge for the eastern and
middle districts OF Tennessee but whose
confirmation had been reconsidered. The
oifense charged consists of unprofes-
sional conduct on the part OF Judge
Clarke who was counsel in a case before
Judge Key the presnt Judge of the same
district Judge Key has notified Senator
Harris that he Gudge Key is entirely ia
miliar with the record OF the particular
case in question, and there has been no
unprofessional conduct on the part Of the
counsel
The gentlemen also sought a hearing
before the judiciary committee, but no
quorum being present, nothing was done,
They informed the individual members
of the committee who could be seen that
rlhe friends of Judge Clarke believe that
there ia nothing in the charges. They court
the fullest investigation, and have left
a request that the judiciary committee APP
point a subcommittee to go to Chatta-
nooga and personally examine the rec
ords OF the court
The peculiar situation of the case Is
that Judge Clarke was confirmed by the
Senate upon Senator Harris personal
assurance that there could be no objection
to the nominee, and upon notice from
Attorney General Olney Of the hling of
charges. the notice to the President Of
Judge Clarke confirmation was recalled,
the matter thus being left entirely with
the judiciary committee and out Of the
control OF the President. Nothing will
be done. however until the reassembling
of the Senate after the holidays.

MARTIN PUTS IN A DENIAL.
SChmittbeTgeT'S Story Characterized as
q Fabrication.

He Explains That Mrs. Vests Place
Was Reported 20 Him to be an En-
tirely Private House-He Denies That
ex-sergeant Liebers Paid $4,000 for
Promotion-Inspeotor williams and
McAvoy Much Disturbed by Schnitt-
berger's Statement. But They Refuse
20 Talk About It.
New York, Dec. D. President Martin
Of the police department, issued a state
ment this afternoon in which he denies
some Of Capt. Schmittberger's statements
and explains others. In reference to the
statement that he ordered Capt. Schmitt-
berger to send his man to Mrs. Vests
disorderly house, in West Fifty-hrst street
and apologize for disturbing it, Mr. Mar
tin says Mrs. Vests house was reported
10 him to be an entirely private house and
he told Capt. Schmittberger to investigate
the matter and If he found it was private,
he was to let it alone. MIR Martin says
that ex-sergt. Liebers. who Capt. Schmitt-
berger said paid 5000 for promotion. was
appointed by him on the recommendation
Of Lawyer ]. NJ. Bowers and Surrogate
Fitzgerald, and that no money was paid.

berger to let the disorderly houses on
Forty-sixth street alone. He says she
never had any conversation with Capt
Schmittberger on the subject When the
former gave him $50 for election eSpen-
ses in October, 1885, he refused to accept
more than $50 and returned 500 to Capt
Schmttberger.
Capt. Schmittberger was transferred
from the Twenty precinct to the
Fifth precinct, not because he made hon
oet avpisa arrests" but because of the
rumors that reached the board that his
men were trying to collect tribute from
the saloon keepers. These rumors could
not be substantiated at the time, but it
was thought advisable to make the trans
fer
Inspectors Williams and McAvoy, to
both of whom Capt Schmittberger says
he paid a part of his collections" are a
GOOD deal disturbed, neither would talk
for publication and cut short all attempts
TO interview them. Capt. Schmittberger
has been regarded as protege OF In
Fpector Williams, and it is generally be
lieved that Capt. Schmittberger' s success
on the force has been largely due 10 the
interest Inspector Williams took in him
1t was said this morning that Inspector
Williams and Inspector McAyoy had al
ready engaged counsel to defend them
from the charges hanging over them.
The present situation in the ponce oe-
partment is unprecedented. Win the e%-
ception of Supt. Byrnes, nearly all It's hlSh
officials have been accused.
Commissioner Sheehan says; Capl
Schmittbergers whole testimony, so far
as it relates to myself is, in brief, q fabrl-
cation, made out of whole cloth.
