Strong Opposition Manifested ut An.

,ecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, March 21.-The politi-
cal situation, as far as the republican party
Is involved. In the fifth congressional dis
trict is attracting considerable attention
here and recent developments have been
the subject of considerable comment among
the members of the assembly and the poll
ticians who frequent the state house. A
strong opposition Is being manifested
against the candidacy of Speaker Sydney E.
Mudd. who Is anxious to capture his party's
congressional nomination from the fifth
district, and the impression prevails that If
Speaker Mudd succeeds in having himself
nominated in the face of the obstacles likely
to be cast In his way he will have emphati-
cally re-established his reputation as a
shrewd and adroit politician. 1t is gen.
orally believed. however, that when Mr.
Mudd declares the house of delegates to be
adjourned on the night of March 80 he will
have concluded his last public act for some
time to come. The speaker has not enjoy ed
the esteem of the majority of the delegates
for a long time, and those who are in a Do
sition to do so are strongly inclined to dis
play their resentment by blocking as vigor-
ously as they can his ambition to again
represent his district In Congress.
The manner IN which the speaker has
distributed the patronage at his disposal
has furnished him with e number of enc
mics who are eager to '.get back at him.
and the prospective turning down Of Mr..
James L. Mayor, his selection for tobacco
inspe6 tor, by the senate will not aid his
chances. Furthermore, prominent republi-
cans in the district who have heretofore
worked hand In glove with him are out
against him, and In them he will have a
strong combination to fight.
DR.. Washington G. Tuck, the republican
leader of Anne Arundel county, not only
admits his opposition to Mudd, but an
nounces his own candidacy, and Mr.. John
w. Bell, clerk of the circuit court of Prince
Georges county, told The Star correspond
ent that In all probability he would soon be
in the field himself candidate.
Senator Geo. Dorsey Day Of Howard has
been in the field for some time, and Senator
Wilkinson of st. Mary's, who exercises
considerable influence in the lower part of
the district, Is strongly opposed to the
speaker, and thorough survey of the
situation would reveal other opponents.
There is a strong impression among the
republicans that 1t would be decidedly i'm
polite to nominate Mr.. Mudd.
prominent democrat from the speakers
own county told The Star correspondent
that he would prefer to see Mudd nomi-
mated than any other republican, which Is
significant of the belief among the demo-
Gratis that he would prove an easy candi-
date to defeat.

A WOMAN's LOVE.

abe Barred Her Arm TO the Surgeons
Knife For Her Husbands Benefit.
The keen stroke of the surgeons blade
along the slender nerves, shooting cur
rents of agony to every fiber and tOrtur-
ing every muscle, causes the physically
bravest Of us to quail, even when it is
vitality necessary TO undergo the pain,
and something like Spartan courage is
needed when one voluntarily goes
through with the experience solely for
another's sake.
DR.. Jarnigan tells story, and it is
out of his own professional experience,
that has for its heroine a woman who
did this bravely unselfish thing.
Her husbands arm bad been crushed
in the machinery. The hard folds of
muscle had been f1attened, and the bone
had been crushed. The arm, bruised and
discolored, was bad enough to look upon,
but it gave no indication OF the excru-
ciating torture Of pain the man had to
undergo. 1t was thought at first by the
doctors that his arm would have 70 come
off-the good right arm that supported
the bravo wife who stood nv his side
and the serious. anxious faced children
who stood looking on he begged them
to save his arm, and his wife begged
them, and fortunately the condition of
the case permitted them to.
But the arm did not heal The skin
sloughed away from the wounded sur
face and left it raw and sore. The doc
tors saw that it was necessary TO graft
portions of skin TO the service TO bring
about a cure. They told the sick man
of it, and they barred his side TO cut off
the strips of skin to put over the raw
arm.
The blade flashed into the mans side,
the blood spurted out, and with moan
the man fell over in a faint, sickened
by the pain. His wife had been watch
ing, her sympathetic heart touched to
its depths by the sight of her husband s
suffering.
Doctor, don't do that again." she
begged. Don't cut him any more. He
is too weak and has suffered too much.
Cut it off me- Won't that do?''
The doctors told her that it would
She coolly barred her arm and told them
she was ready. The razor edged blade
sank into the flesh and went ripping
down, followed by a tiny fountain OF
blood. She did not vince. Dexterously,
expertly, the doctors slit out a piece OF
skin and grated it over the mans arm.
Another and another piece was cut out
until more than q dozen had been re.
moved, and all the while the Spartan
woman remained standing watching thS
swift flash of the knife, the springinl
of the warm blood and the sickenine
spectacle without shrinking once.
The husbands arm, grated over will
| skin taken from his wife's arm, is now
well, and the arm of the brave woman

To attempt TO describe the political

The truth is that there are a large
number of boilers from both parties,
and if the election was tomorrow the
PopulO-demo-silver party, as called

vote. 1t may be said with some as
surance however that this state and
all New England will be found in the

NEFARIOUS TRADE.
Extensive Slave Traffic is
Said to be Carried on.
NEGROES KIDNAPPED IN AMERICA
Malta Shipping Men and Women to a
Living Death in Guatemala, Where
They are Sold into Bondage.

A startling story of slave trade on
the American continent has been
made subject of investigation by
representative OF the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
Not long ago a rumor was circulated
TO the effect that an extensive business
was being done at New Orleans and
along the lower Mississippi river in kid
mapping colored people, placing them
on ships, and selling them as slaves in
Guatemalan ports. A reporter went
TO the scene OF the alleged outrages
and found that the stories were true.
When possible the co'ored people are
induced to emigrate by alluring sto-
ries Of good treatment, plenty of work
and liberal wages When they cannot
be thus decoyed they are stupefied
with drink, carried aboard steamers
and conveyed to destination of bon
dage, suffering and death.
WANT RAILROAD LABoRERs.
1t appears that there is demand
for railroad laborers in one of the most
unhealthy sections of Guatemala, and
this is the method taken co obtain
them. 1t is said that the Malta in
New Orleans are engaged in this nefa-
rious traffic. Women as well as men
are kidnapped and sold, and the
Guatemalan contractors wink at the
business, saying that the presence of
women among the laborers makes the
men more contented. One progresses
ing colored girl was sold for SIS, and
several others brought SIP 80 apiece.
The correspondent writes.
INHUMAN TREATMENT.
Gas to the treatment of both men
and women, it is described as some
thing appalling. They are given the
poorest food and hardest work.
They sleep I'm fiat cars or punched
together in dirty huts. Snakes of the
most venomous kind, scorpions, cent?
pedes, interior Indians, and worst of
all, the dread fevers of that country,
carry them of like flies.
Sometimes the slaves rebel. as did
the man who killed his master, as
printed in the kilograms over a month
ago. 1t may have been noticed at the
time that the cablegram telling of the
riot ended with. The Americans were
promptly lynched.' One colored man
turning on his master makes "a riot in
Guatemala, and should half a dozen
take up arms to protect themselves il
is revolution
ut is altogether probable that the
| kilograms printed, briefly telling of a
revolution breaking out in that coun-
try mean nothing more than an upris-
ing of the desperately disheartened
colored people who are treated worse
than slaves.
