The Judges Bath.

Ex-Judge William Riley of Virginia
tells funny story Oh himself con-
corning an experience he had in the
senate at Washington. As everybody
who has anything to do with the senate
knows, the marble baths there are very
fine. They are for the use of the men,
bers Of the senate and their friends. A
card from senator will admit any one.
When Mr.. Riley was in Washington, he
used frequently to make use of these
baths, going to Il friend of his in the
senate for card. He would then 20
down in the baths, where Georgia
darkv attended to the rooms. He used to
Lerate the colored attendant in pure
southern style. The senator heard one Of
these TRADES and he put up joke on
the ex-judge. The next time he came
for ii card he got it as usual. Then he
went down stairs and disrobed. When
he had finished undressing, the colored
attendant came up and said, Boss, you
kyant hab no bath heah.'
Whats that, you black rascal?"
Il dun said. boss, dat you kyant hab
no bath heah.
why" said the startled bather.
Read dis yeah kyard, boss" said
the darby, as he handed it out. The
card read:
Keeper Potomac River-Please give
bearer one bath. ----."

BENNETT and Stanley.

1t is treat to hear Henry NJ. Stanley
tell Of the way in which he was started
in his work Of exploring Africa. He
was then writing for James Gordon
Bennett on the New York Herald. One
day Mr. Bennett sent for him. He went
to his rooms and found the proprietor of
The Herald in bed. Mr.. Stanley made
himself known, and a conversation like
this ensued:
STANLEY, want you to go to Africa
and find Livingstone. With that Mr..
Bennett rolled over in bed and thought
that the matter was settled.
But, Mr.. Bennett" said Stanley,
who was struck dumb by the gigantic
task outlined, THAT will take time,
money, preparation, and. in fact, many
things must be settled. -
DRAW OH the office for 81 900 and &C
and find Livingstone. Keep drawing
until you find him. That is all. :"
Stanley left the room i'll a whirl, but
he followed orders.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC sQUAsBLE
Settlement Reached That Has Some Ex-
traOrtlinary Features.

traOrdinary Features.
MILWAUKEE, Jan 9-Thc end of the
Northern Pacific sauabble is fast ap-
proaching and in few days all the
trouble and disagreement between tn G
factions will be IA matter of the past. 1t
is asserted on authority that cannot BIZ
doubted or disputed and OH which the
utmost confidence can DC placed, that an
agreement of settlement has been reached
which is satisfactory to all. What the basis
of the settlement is cannot be learned at
present, but that it is extraordinary is
certain, presenting presidents entirely
new and quite outside the usual practice
in reccivcrShips.
One of the minor details is said to I've
the placing of the rrccivership in charge
of the United States supreme court under
the control and direction of the five JUS
ticcs who preside over the Jurisdictions
through which the line extends. These
justices are: Chief Justice Melville W.
Fuller; Justice John NJ. Harlan. Seventh
district; Justice David J. Brewer, Eighth
district; Justice Stephen j. Field, Ninth
district; Rufus w. Peckham, Second dis
trict. The fact that the United States
supreme court is to take the matter in
charge, although the parties in interest
are wont to look upon it as one OF the
minor details, will be a huge surprise
to attorneys as being wholly outside OF
the regular practice of the court and un.
preccdented in the history of receiverships.
1t is probable, however that the supreme
court will not undertake active jurisdic.
ton, but that it will delegate that duty to
one of the other courts along tho line.

Explanation of the Battle Sounds Heard to
the South Of Havana.
HAVANA, Jan. 9.-The report of battle
forty-five miles south of this city is con-
firmed. 1t seems that General Navarro
overlook the rear guard Of the rebels UNI
der Zayas and other leaders and forced a
fight in which the insurgents suffered q
loss, as claimed, of forty-three dead. After
this engagement the column of troops
commanded by General Suarez Valdez
overlook the insurgents who were in re-
treat, and opening fire upon them with
small arms and artillery inflicted heavy
loss in killed and wounded. The insur-
gents lost a63 men.
NEW YORK, Jan. "a dispatch to The
World from Havana says: An important
conflict seems to be impending. The over.
towering Spanish columns everywhere in
the vicinity Of the small bands of insur-
gents that have been marrying the country
north of the railways have been called in.
Gomez evidently is consolidating his
forces. The insurgents are in two large
bodies. One under Maceo is near Ceiba
del Aqua, on the boundary line between the
provinces Of Havana and Pinar del Rio.
The other, under Gomez, is west and
south of Guanajay, over the border in

Taking an Inventory of the Votes That
Are Sure Against Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-The anti-silver
Democrats of the senate held meeting
or conference while the Republican SEN
ators were in caucus. The object of the
conference was to count how many men
cold be mustered against the free coinage
amendment of the senate finance COM
mittee to the band bill. 1t was found
that there arc fourteen sure votes on the
Democratic side ,-aiHs, the silver propos-
tion, and the Democrats were assured that
there arc twenty-six Rep ublicans who
could be counted against the Jones amend
ment. This would make forty IN all.
Four more votes would be necessary to Il
majority of the senate. Both Democratic
and Republican anti-silvcr men are now
making al effort to see if these four votes
can be obtained.
Among the Republicans who are not
counted in the twenty-six anti-silver
list. and upon whom an effort will be
made are Mcbride of Oregon and Wilson
OF Washington. On the Democratic side
are Bacon and Gordon of Georgia and
Martin OF Virginia 1t is not known with
what hope the anti-silvcr men are work
ing, but they say that the vote will be
very close and that perhaps free coinage
may I've defeated The Democrats counted
against the bill are: Bricc, Caffery,
Faulkner. Gibson, German. Gray. Hill,
Lindsay, Mills, Mitchell. Murphy, Palmer,
