RAISED A british FLAG.
A Philadelphia Councilman Makes His
Constituents Angry.

There was n great commotion in the
thirty third ward of Philadelphia yesterday.
when A. T. Wadsworth, member Of the
common council from that ward. unfurled
a British flag over his house. A number of
neighbo-s held an Indignation meeting, and
a committee was appointed to wait on the
councilman and request him to haul down
the obnoxious emblem. When the commit
tee arrived at the house the councilman
was not at home, but his wife Informed the
visitors that the flag had been put Up and
was going to stay.
The committee withdrew, but they lad
hardly time to make their report when the
councilman. who had heard something
about the angry threats of his constituents,
returned to his home and hauled down the
diStaSteful piece of bunting. Feeling ran
high in the ward for a time, and If the
flag had not been removed there seems little
doubt that force would have been used.
recent act of the Vestry of Christ Prot
estant Episcopal Church, which is located
on ID street, in the heart of the wholesale
district, and is one of the Oldest churches
in the country, is also causing considerable
comment.
Washington was a worshiper at Christ
Church when he was in Philadelphia, and
in 1177 the bust of George H., which had
adorned the front of the edifce, was taken
down and stored in the attic. Within few
days the vestry has caused the bust TO be
cleaned up, and it again occupies its former
place in front Of the church. Several mem
bers of the congregation have protested
vigorously, and there may be trouble in the
directory over it.

EXTRAORDINARY DISORDER
Marked the Proceedings Of the House Late
Yesterday
The Sergeant-at-Arms' Report - The
Warrant for Arrest Declared Faulty
Scenes of Confusion.

The session of the House yesterday after
noon was marked by a scene of extraordi-
nary disorder and unruliness on the part or
members. For more than an hour the House
absolutely refused to obey any rules OF or
der and dignity and absolutely ran Wild
the confusion reaching such state that 1t
was necessary to adjourn the House in or
der to put a stop to the uproar.
The trouble began when Mr.. Hulick of
Ohio arose and announced that he had been
absent from the House to attend the tuner
al of his colleague, Mr.. Houk of Ohio who
died recently in this city. He desired to be
relieved from arrest on this ground.
Mr.. Bland of Missouri stated that mas
much as a quorum had not yet appeared, 1t
was incompetent for less than a quorum to
excuse any member who was arrested by
the sergeant-at-arms. Thereupon Mr.. Heard
of Missouri created quite a sensation by de-
claring that in his opinion any member who
was absent with leave of the House ought
in common courtesy, to be notified OF the
revocation of all leaves of absence before
he was placed under arrest An exciting
scene followed. in which score OF members
were seen clamoring for recognition Be
fore conclusion was reached Gen SlckleS
moved that the House adjourn. After con-
siderable wrangling the motion was put and
Gen. sickIes on His Arrest.
Thereupon Gen. Sickles, rising in his place,
leaning upon his crutches, with the stump
of his right leg resting upon the desk be-
fore him, stated that he had been informed
that he was under arrest and desired in
formation by what authority his arrest had
been ordered. Mr. Dockery stated that
Gen. Sickles could not interrupt the pro-
cedure of the House while the House was
deciding upon a motion to adjourn.
Gen. Sickles insisted that it was a matter
Of the highest privilege with him to know
why he was under arrest, and he con-
tinued to address the chair in such stem
torian tones there We're loud cries for
the regular order, and Mr.. Meredith of Nir-
ginia shouted: There ought to be some way
to squelch him." Instantly Mr.. Amos Cum
mings of New York created intense excite
ment in the House by arising and shouting:
Nobody dared to call him to order at the
battle of Gettysburg" This brought forth
a storm of applause and confusion so that
it was impossible to transact any business
The SerSca Report.
Finally, the sergeant-at-arms was called
upon to make his report, which was as fol-
lows:
Hon. Charles F. Crisp. Speaker, etc
Sir: l present herewith a detailed report
of my further action under House warrant
of February 10, 1891.

the clerk the following are reported sick

The following are excused by the House:

GAIN OF NEARLY 10000,
That Republican Plurality i'm Penn
sylvaria May Go to $4,000.

Official returns from all but nine Of the
sixty-seven counties in Pennsylvania send
Grows plurality up to the unprecedented
figure of 1So,233, gain of 45,oS1 over the
plurality given the republican candidate for
state treasurer last fall, whose vote il was
expected then, would stand as the high
water mark of republicanism in PennsyI-
vania for a long time to come. All of the
the election night estimates. Therefore it
is fair to assume that the official figures
from the nine missing counties will produce
increases that will give Grow not less than
$4,000 plurality.
There was quite a falling off in the pro-
hibition vote, Kent, last years candidate
polling 2l,35S. which is probably 1900 more
than Morrow received this year. The peo-
pies party vote was also insignificant as
compared with Windsor's 6,979 last year.

lola on France and Germany.

While in London NJ. lola was inter
viewed by the correspondent of the Co
logne Gazette on the relations between
France and Germany. NJ. lola said:
Though 1 am not exactly politician
I can assure you of one thing, and that
is that no one in France desires war.
In no circumstances shall we take the
offensive, but if we are attacked, well
and good. l do not wish to deny the ex-
istence of the idea of revenge, but there
is great difference between cherishing
an idea and putting it into practice.
You cannot give me the name OF a
French statesman of the present day
who is eager for war. We have no mil
itary party and no general who can
claim the right to cover himself with the
laurels of war. We have become more
democratic, broader and more peaceable
in our views. The condition, however,
in which France lives is, confess, any
thing but an ideal one"

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Boat Upset in a Heavy Surf at
Hamakua.

HoNoKAA, Jan. 5.-The steamer
Waialeale arrived yesterday fore
noon, bringing a pretty heavy mail,
and the mail carrier, Master Wal
ter Greenfield, not expecting so
large a mail, only took down
the horse he rode. On reaching
the wharf and finding the mail
unusually heavy, he had to pack
the large bags on his horse and foot
it up the hill.
The steamer Kilauea Hou ar
rived today but brought no mail.
The steamer Hawaii left for Homo
lulu on the Sd, with 5000 bags of
sugar. A serious accident, which
nearly resulted in the death of
a number of boatmen occurred
on the day before she left. In the
morning of the same day she began
loading sugar, there being heavy
sea, the men had all they could do
to prevent the boat from being
dashed on the rocks near the land
ing. Unexpectedly a heavy sea broke
over the boat while near the landing
and the craft being heavily loaded,
turned on one side on big rock.
The men in the boat jumped out
and quickly grasped at the two life
buoys thrown out to them. The
boat and cargo were luckily saved
by the presence of mind of the
landing overseer, Mr.. NJ. de Brito,
who threw out a rope, and the next
heavy sea that came turned the
boat nearly over. Fortunately 1T
righted again and was hauled out
into the open sea.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
1t Is a Calf With Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Allegheny Has 1t.

1t Is a Calf With Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Allegheny Has 1t.
Allegheny has a monstrosity. 1t is in
the shape of newly born calf. 1t is a
freak of nature that the museum man
would be after it this morning if it were
still alive. But the calf is dead. 1t
died shortly after it was born. The calf
had two perfectly well developed heads,
six legs and two tails, and is a curiosity
that attracted all Allegheny that knew
about it yesterday afternoon.
The Calls mother was the property of
Herman Jacob, dairyman, residing at
277 Madison avenue, Allegheny. He
was obliged to kill the cow before the
calf was born. After the calf died Mr.
Jacob decided to stuff the hide and keep
it as a curiosity.
So far as the heads and front part of
the monstrosity are concerned, the calf
is shaped and proportional normally,
but at the shoulders the double calf is
merged into one, with perfectly formed
hind part, with the exception of the two
well formed tails of equal size and pro-
portion Within the calf there were
found to be two stomachs, one set of
bowels and one pair of lungs.-Pitts-

SPORTS ON KAUAI.
Annual Athletic Contests at Maka-
we'll.

kauai, Jan. g. The annual
sports at Makaweli plantation,
which were postponed on Christ
mas day on account of the heavy
rains which fell during the morn
Ing, were successfully carried out
on New Years day. The weather
was good, dry and not too warm,
and the records for the majority of
the events show a marked inn
provement on previous meetings.
The jumping might have been a
little better, but it is only fair to
add that it was slightly uphill,
which circumstance must have de-
tracted little from the excellence
of the performances. A quoting
tournament of ten shots up was
carried on during the forenoon,
and brought some very close and
exciting games. The final fell to
be played between J. Elliott and J.
Anderson, and after a good game
was won by Elliott with 10 points
to his opponents 6. The 100 yards
dash and hurdle race were run in
good time, but in the latter two of
the competitors came a cropper,
one at the first hurdle and one at
the last. The other and more conf
cal races were we'll contested, and
afforded a good deal of amusement.

THE HAWAIIAN STAMP CRAZE
n Situation That Attracted the Attention
of Philate1ists the World Over.

4
n Situation That Attracted the Attention
or Philate1ists the World Over
Vi all the queer Developments that
nave arisen in connection with the de-
thronement of Queen Liliuokalani none
Is stranger than the excitement which
| attended the speculation in the provision
al stamps issued by the present govern
| ment. This speculation is not confined
TO stamp collectors and dealers, but is
INDUCED III by residents of Honolulu and
citizens of this and other countries alike,
even one Of the Spreckels family being
credited with having purchased and laid
aside $4,000 worth of these labels for
future profit.
1t was anticipated that the provisional
government would be of short duration,
and that the improvised stamps were to
have life as short as the temporary gov
eminent, and this led to the scramble
for stamps, as it was presumed that they
would become exceedingly rare and val
liable.
There were 81 varieties issued, includ-
ing all the perforated stamps issued by
the Hawaiian government since 1854,
ranging in value from cent to 81. Each
OF these was overprinted, or surcharged,
to use philatelic term, with the words
provisional Govt, $685." in three lines,
each word and date taking separate
line.
Some of the stamps were surcharged
with black letters and others with red,
all OF one denomination being overprint-
ed In the same color. But the portion of
one value, the 10 cent mauve, was sur
charged in black and the remainder in
red, there being twice as many of the
latter surcharged as of the former. AS
but few thousands of this particular
stamp were on hand, they were soon
bought up, and as much as So each was
paid for a specimen of the black sur
charge. Spectators soon bought up
the supply of several of the other values,
and it was not long after the date of
their issue that a complete set of these
stamps, which had face value of 1901.
was selling for $15.
Recently, however, some of the specu-
lators have deemed it wise to unload,
and the entire set can now be purchased
for $40, still leaving a handsome profit
on the original cost.
Recent advices from Honolulu show
that the mania for stamp collecting has
had somewhat of sensational effect
there. f. F. Porter, brother of the
ex-minister of finance Of the provisional
government. wrote as follows to friend
in this city:
''They have gone crazy ON Hawaiian
stamps. Even the Chinese are in it. I saw
by the paper last night that one Chinese
firm bought $1,70O worth at tire post
office. If such is the case, the govern
ment has mighty good thing, for it
can grind them out for about 10 cents
per 1000. 7 see in the windows about
