Tried to Fake Mr.. ROuSS.

from the New York Journal
The police are looking for a man named
Albert Thesis, against whom the County
Medical Society has preferred charge OF
practicing medicine without license.
Some time ago it became known that Chas.
Broadway Rouss, the millionaire merchant,
of Broadway, who is almost totally blind,
was going to try the experiment Of taking
loo. 600 electric volts. to be administered
by Professor Tesla. A few days after this
announcement a young man, who said he
was John Martin, of No. 1872 Elizabeth
street. called on Mr.. Rouss and explained
that he was suffering from apaplexy Of the
optic nerve, as Mr.. Rouss was, and if the
latter wished he would first Try the
treatment as an experiment. -
Nothing then came OF this conversation,
bu, later on a nlan representing himself as
DR. Thesis visited Mr.. Rouss and said he
had a new method of treatment which
would restore Installing eyesight. He ex-
nlained that it was by the use of electric
needles which would puncture the skin.
Mr.. Rouss thought of Martin, and wrote
him to the effect that if he wished to try

During Tie reign o. vne S,ilssin Il appless-
ed several revolts of the nomsdic tribes OF
Persia and during 1856 maintained nomi-
nal war against Britain, which was ter
minated by the treaty of Paris in 1857.
The Shah has been liberal and progress
i've ruler, as Oriental potentates &C, and in
1866 he gave his support to the passage of
the Anglo-Indian telegraph through his do
minions. He has visited Europe several
times, his first visit, in 1878, having been
actuated by desire to introduce reforms
and material improvements into his king
dom. When visiting country he was
somewhat Of g white elephant on the hands
Of his entertainers, as the customs Of roy
atty in Oriental countries are vastly differ
I ent from those which prevail in Europe.
The assassination at Teheran recalls to
several members of the diplomatic corps
many amusing incidents connected with
the presence in Washington of Persia's
first and last envoy. This minister's stay
was brief, and he was literally driven from
the country through Indignation at the
criticism and remarks made about him be-
cause of his peculiar ways. His name was
Hadji- Hassen Ghouly Khan.
In general appearance he closely resem-
bled mulatto and in attire was not unlike
a South Carolina populist. His ears were
decorated with large earrings and his era
watts and jewelry were Of the loudest pat
tern. The newspapers made much fun of
his name and his queer ways, and while he
conscious very soon that he was being
made the butt of jokes.
| At the house of a distinguished resident
where he called one day he was perempt-
orily refused admittance by the colored
servant, who took him to be a "Virginia
darkey," and this slight SO enraged the
the minister that he Immediately proceeded
to the State Department and laid his griev-
ances before Secretary Blaine.
! To him he said: II have been ANNOYED
and treated since my stay in your country
in way that a representative of Persia
should not he, and the newspapers cartoon
me, make verses about my name and hold
me up to general ridicule."
| 'But you should not mind that,'' said
MI. Blaine, ''our President has to put mp
with cartoons and the ridicule of the comic
papers,"
sY =" said the minister. your President
has to stand 1t, but don't, and shall re-
turn to my government" The minister
left within a few weeks for Paris
and since his departure Persia has
sent no one else to represent her at Wash
ington. The United States, however, has
generally maintained legation at Teheran.

LEXINGTON, VA, May 5.-The student body
of Washington and Lee University, headed by
the senior and junior classes, two hundred
strong, marched in a body tonight from the
university campus to "Blandome,' the resi-:
dence of Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, dean OF
the law school and father Of Hon. Harry st.
George Tucker, to tender their congratula-
lions to DR.. Tucker upon the occasion OF the
successful termination of the defence OF Hon.
Harry St. George Tucker, Congressman from
this (the tenth Virginia) congressional dis
over ost the republican contestant. The
students made the air resound with college
songs and yells and the tin horn was much in
evidence, and the event bore strong resem-
blance to an old-time callathump, with plen-
ty of fun. The students were cordially
received by DR.. Tucker, who made short
address in which he thanked the students for
| the compliment.

II. st. C. Tucker to Hold his Seat.
Washington letter in Richmond Dispatch
May 5th

Mdy JUL
Election Committee No. 8 held its regular
meeting this morning, and the contested-elec-
ton case of Yost against Tucker was consid-
cred and decided in favor of the cOntestee. In
this case General James A. Walker, OF the
Ninth Virginia District, again received a
setback from his Republican colleagues.
The vote on the report of the committee, after
giving Yost all that could be fairly allowed
him, stood toll. General Walker voted in
the negative and against the conclusion reach
ed by the majority of the committee, and he
asked time to present his objections in the
form of minority report. This bears out the
statement made few days ago to the effect
that General Walker said that if he could not
defeat Tucker in the committee it would be a
curious thing if he could not do so in "a big
Republican House like this.
General Walker is carrying his bitter par
tisan views to such an extent as to make them
decidedly Objectionable to his republican col
leagues on the committee; as shown by the
action of the body this morning. The Repub-
lican representatives who were present and
voting for the report of the committee were
Messrs, Mccall of Massachusetts,, jenkins
of Indiana, and Codding OF pennsylvania.
The report gives to Mr.. Tucker the seat, to
which he was elected by 1,2O4 plurality, by
plurality over ost of 161.
The following is tabulated statement OF
the conclusion reached by the committee:

1HE3 POLICY OF THE UNIT RULE
fe may be their best policy for the free
silver Democrats of Virginia to enforce
the unit rule. 1t may help their cause at
Chicago. But we can tell them that it will
prove the worst policy for the Virginia
Democracy, and Virginia is heap nearer
to the Democratic heart than Chicago.
Chicago will be forgotten by 1897, but Vir-
ginia will just then be looming up for bet.

LEADING QUESTION TO BUTLER.


What Will 11c do About Those States
Where Fusion Is Fact?
Chairman Butler, of the Populist com.
mittec, was asked the following question
last night: an view Of your statement
yesterday to the effect that the Populist
candidates are Bryan and Watson and
will he until the close of the campaign,
and will he earnestly supported to the end
without discrimination for or against
either, what will he the position of your
committee with reference to those states
where Democrats and Populists have
fused by the latter taking the state ticket
and the former all Of the electoral ticket"
I'VE have no official information" he
replied. that this has been done in any
state; but If It has been done or Is con-
tcmplatcd the national COMMITTEES will
not approve or recognize 1t. The highest
law in any party is the action of its ma
tional convention. No man or state or
ganization cnn be disloycl to such supreme
authority without arraying themselves in
direct and hostile opposition TO the ma
tional convention. Our national conven-
ton nominated Bryan and Watson by an
overwhelming majority, and it is the
boundcn duty Of every loyal Populist to
support both of these candidates earnestly
and loyalty.
Besides, Watson stands for what Bryan
stands for, and therefore Bryan and Wat
son is the only ticket that represents the
principles that the Peoples party believes
in and has commended for from the begin
ming. Mr.. Sewall is no more the candi.
date Of the Peoples party than is Mr..
Hobart. The executive committee will
see that the action Of our national con-
vention is maintained in every state, but
If there should arise disaffection OF disloy-
atty to either of our candidates in any state,
then we are sure that there are true Popu.
lists in such state who will support the
whole ticket, and such alone will he recog.
nized by our national committee"
Does this mean you will insist upon a
straight-out Bryan and Watson ticket in
every state?"
NO, but IL means that wherever Popu-
lists and Democrats join forces on the
electoral ticket there must be a due and
proper recognition of each partys candi-
date bya just and equitable division of
electors supporting the candidates of the
respective parties"
