Returned to First Principles.

A French writer has had u vision Of
the city of the future, CyclopOlis by
name.
The city was full of wheels-bicycles,
tricycles, monocycles, petroleum cars,
autOcars and there is no telling what
else. But one day the inhabitants had
n sensation. All the newspapers issued
special bulletins. A man had been seen
walking-yes, walking on his own
legs.
The Cyclopolitans could hardly be-
lieve their eyes, but SO it was, and the
wonderful stranger, we are assured,
amassed u large fortune by giving les
sons in walking, which soon became the
fashionable sport.

1r is amusing to see with what
pains the press associations are ac-
campaigning the report Of Gen. Hsr-
rison's speech on the christening OF
the bsttleship Indiana, with the ex-
planatory assurance that his reference
to Indiana as Truly q free silver
state was purely joke. The peo-
pie OF lIoo-ierdom will show in No
vember that it was serious joke n
other words that there was more
truth than mirth in that suggestion.

been collected in three years than
Was collected in four years OF the
Fifer administration. and &l45,OJO

wears Of the Oglesby administration.
has won respect even from those high
IN official insurance circles who wer g
most affected by tn, enforcement OF
the law. for that Was all that was
done. Under the present admins.
tration the insurance department
has controlled the companies. while
unde. past administration it looks
very much like the companies con.
troiied the department. Here is q
letter OF commentator which shows
that the honesty and vigor of one

MR.. HYDE THE VETERANS FRIEND
Our Congressman Is Active i'll Securing
Justice for Old Soldiers.


Washington, Jan. 25.-Representative
Hyde has secured an order for John De-
Yer of Chehalis an applicant for a pen
sion, to appear before board Of exam
lining surgeons at that place at an early
date. Mr.. Hyde has also called up the
claim of Joseph McMillen of Spokane
and had it listed for final disposition in
the regular order of completed claims
Jesse p. Green of Deep Creek, whose
claim was rejected October 10, 1895, has
been advised to file a new declaration.
If the pension appropriation bill as it
passed the house passes the senate re-
jected pensions subsequently allowed
under new declaration Will be dated
back to the time of filing the original
claim. This is an act Of justice refused
by the democratic congress last year.
Representative Hyde has been active
by urging petition Of citizens Of Trout
Lake, Klickitat county, sent to him by
w. r. Stadelman, for better mail facili-
ties, and the second assistant pOstmas-
ter general has now asked for proposals
for a mail service from White Salmon
by way of Husum, a new office to be es-
tablished, to Trout Lake, twice a week
and back. If a satisfactory bid is re-
ceived the service will be esta blished.

CHAMBERLAIN IS MORE PAcIFIr
Relieves the Venezuelan Affair Has No,
Been Properly interpreted.

London, Jan. 25.-The Right Hon
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary Of state
for the colonies, in speaking at Rir.
mingham tonight said regarding tho
Venezuelan matter that he thought
there had been much apprehension on
both sides of the water. When Sec.
rotary Olney's dispatch and President
Cleveland's message were delivered the
feeling was reluctantly entertained in
England that the Americans must have
some hostile sentiments which England
did not share and that the United States
was bent on picking a quarrel with
England. The idea seemed to prevail in
America that England was disposed to
impugn the Monroe dOctrine-a doc
trine to which the people of the United
States rightly attached much import
ance, and it was also believed in Amer
lea that Great Britain was disposed to
deal in a harsh and arbitrary manner
with Venezuela, but reflection had
brought about a more favorable under
standing and America would regard
with horror a war with those of her own
blood and kindred.
president Cleveland, whose &C.
quaintance [ have the honor to pos
sess," said Chamberlain, in conclusion,
bears a high reputation for rectitude
and honorable dealings. He is inca
pable of the wickedness of melting two
kindred nations to strife and blood

1.-THE recent story about Mayor Carl
son Of San Diego buying the Nevada
Southern railway with the Idea,
through Huntington's help of building
a line from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
has been punctured by the statement of
ex-District Attorney Dillon, who is the
attorney for the company. Dillon says
Carlson only has a deed TO the road,
signed by Isaac e. Blake as president,
but this, it can not be seen, conveys
anything
"Mr. Dillon says the road was sold by
the sheriff on October 16 last to K. B.
Anderson of New York, and since then
the California Eastern Railway Com
pany has purchased Mr.. Anderson's I'll
tie and will extend the line to Good
Springs, New, unless it is redeemed by
April 16 Mr.. Dillon also represents the
creditors of the old Nevada Southern,
and states that when Mayor Carlson
pays the claims of 100000 he can have
the road, but not before"

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING ARRAY
Proprietor of Hot springs Hotel and a
Guest the Principals.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. ga highly
sensational shooting affray occurred in
the fashionable Arlington hotel at Hot
Springs Friday afternoon, the details
of which have hitherto been carefully
suppressed.
The circumstances attending the af-
fair as related by eye witnesses are to
the effect that Colonel S. Il. Stitt, one of
the prOprietors of the Arlington, and
Colonel Abner L. Gaines, 4 guest, be-
came involved in a dispute, when both
drew their revOlvers.
The hotel detective took hand at
this juncture and promiscuous firing en-
sued, in which Abner Gaines was
wounded below the knee. Gaines resides
in London and is wealthy. He makes
regular visits to Hot Springs in con-
nection with his interests in the valua
bic Gaines estate.

STRUCK DURING A HEAVY FOG
All the Passengers and Baggage taken
Off--A Possib lily That she May
BE FIOated.

Long Branch, n. j., Jan. 25.-ln a
heavy fog, with the wind in the north
east and the surf running far up the
beach. a few minutes after l O'CLOCK
this morning the new American line
steamship st. Paul, bound in, went
ashore in front of the Grand View
house. All of her 700 passengers were
today transferred to land. AT no time
were the passengers in danger. Siren
uOus efforts are being made to pun the
ST. Paul from her dangerous position
She is in 20 feet of water, just on the
outside edge of the breakers, about 3OO
feet from the shore, with her head
pointing at an acute angle west and to-
wards the shore.
1t has been a day Of excitement for
the people of Long Branch and vicinity.
Never before in the history of the town
has there been such an influx OF eXcuf-
sionists in midWinter as there was to-
day North and south bound trains de-
posted crowds of curiOsity-monger at
the Long Branch and East Long
Branch depots. The farmers for miles
around, with their wives and families,
came.
All the passengers were taken Off the
steamer before 4:30 No attempt was
made to haul the ST. Paul off up to IL
o'clock tonight, but the wrecking COM
pany will probably make an effort at
high tide between and in the morn
ing. Captains West and Mulligan said
this evening that everything was quiet
and orderly on board and that Captain
Jameson blamed the man who was
throwing for the mishap. as he claimed
the man called out II fathomS immedla-
ately before the ship grounded.
AT midnight the vessel was lying prac-
tiealIy parallel to the beach with her
bow headed south.
Messrs Chapman and Merritt, repre-
senting the Wrecking companies, are on
board the st. Paul, comforting as to the
expense and probabilities of getting her
off, and late tonight Captain WardWell
of the West End life-saVing station
said he was pretty sure the steamer
would remain in her present position
for many days to come.
LAS long as the wind is off shore"
said he, she is all right, but if a gale
strikes her in the opposite direction l
have great fears that she will Succumb
to it's influence, like other iron ships"
Long Branch, N. j., Jan. 26.-President
G. A. Crimson and all other represen-
tatives of the International NaViga-
ton Company, popularity known as the
American line, have taken a decidedly
more hopeful view of the situation Of
the st. Paul. the stranded steamer.
They place great reliance on the Mer-
rit & Chapman Wrecking Company,
who have charge of the pulling off of
the big steamer, and they hope to have
the st. Paul at her berth at the foot of
Vesey street, New York, before the end
Of this week.
