sides agreed TO go ahead with eleven

in the Pullman cars never heard the al
legged warnings OF Watchman Scho-
mann Mr. Vandegrift objected siren
uously to any such testimony on the
ground that it was negative proof and
did not prove that on this specific occa-

Dorsey, in an offensive manner asked

Mulqueen. The latter ordered the men
out OF the saloon. They left but re-
turned. however. and made a second
demand for drinks. They were again
refused.
The men again went up the street
and threw rocks at the place, breaking
the doors and windows. One OF these
rocks came near hitting Mulqueen on

GEORGETOWN. March i.-Notary
Public John l.. FOulke, the commits
sioner to take testimony In the contest
fled by Congressman Jonathan S. Will
lis against Congressman-elect L. Irving
Handy met the contestants at George
town at noon to-day. Stenographers
were in attendance and will forward
detailed accounts Of the hearing to the
proper committee at Washington.
WILLIS SIMPLY A DECOY.
The Addicks men expect scme inter-
esting Developments in the investiga-
tion. They say the ballot-boxes are to
be opened, the vote recounted and cleo
ton methods fully ventilated
The chief plan In the rump Legisia-
tures organization is now known for
the first time. Mr. Addicks expects TO
be seated as senator upon the strength
of disclosures which his friends say
will be made at the investigation. They
allege that evidence viii be produced TO
show that the regular Republicans con-
spired with the Democrats to prevent
he Addicks men from electing their
,ickot in Sussex county, that some of
the votes cast for the Union Republi-
can candidates in Sussex were not
counted, and that il the election Off
GERS had done their duty the Addicks
men would have been declared elected.
The districts in which fraud Is
charged are Baltimore. Little Creek,
Broad Creek and two other hundreds.
The average Democratic majority In
Sussex Is 272 votes. and il the recount
of the ballot substantiates the charges
which Mr. Willis has made. the Ad-
licks men say they will also show that
their eight candidates for the Legisla-
ture in Sussex were elected beyond
doubt
The election Of these men, with the
| delegation which the Addicks men say
was elected in Kent also, will be sutfi-
cient, Il is asserted, to prove that Ad-
dicks. and not Kenney, is entitled to a
seat in the United States Senate.
ADDICKs BRINGS BUTTERWORTH.
II is probable that x-Congressman
Butterworth will be on hand to repre-
sent Mr. Willis. E. r. Cochran APP
peared for Mr. Willis.
Following this investigation there
will be proceedings of like nature in
Kent and Now Castle counties. The
| Republicans claim that they will open
every ballot-box in the state, and ex-
pect to find so much fraud that Con-
i grcss will refuse TO seat Handy and
seat Willis who was legally elected.

REPUBLICANS OPEN FIRE.
ALL THEIR ARTILLERY BROUGHT TO
BEAR ON WOLCOTT.
CLAIM THAT HE IS A PARTISAN
AND INCOMPETENT SENATOR
GRAY STILL HAS HOPES FOR
THE EX-CHANCELLOR.

Ex-senator Anthony Higgins, who is
having tough time in his fight against
the confirmation of ex-Chancellor
James L. WolcOtt, will 80 TO Washington
to-day 10 finish the antagonistic CAM
paign. Only two more days remain fer
his confirmation.
Senator Gray went to Washington to-
day, after saying that he has by no
means abandoned the fight for Mr..
Wolcott. Both he and Senator Kenney
viii make final effort TO have The
presidents appointment confirmed.
As has been stated, the regular Re-
publicans of this city have preferred
charges against ex-Chancellor Jane
l.. Wolcott, whose name has been sent
to the Senate by President Cleveland
for confirmation as judge of the United
States Court of Delaware. The charges
were prepared by ex-senator Higgins
and William NJ. Byrne. 1t is alleged
that Mr.. WOlcOtt Is incompetent and
partisan. To sustain the charges the
part Mr.. Wolcott took in the Kent
county election cases is cited.
The Republican story that Mr.. VOL
cCtt urged Governor Watson to enter
the joint session of the Legislature at
the time Colonel Dupont claims to have
been elected senator is not mentioned
in the charges, although it was report
ed that this would be the principal
point against the confirmation.
Another surprise for the regulars
who are fighting Mr. Wolcott. is the at
dtude Of the Addicks men. who are not
joining hands with Mr. Higgins in his
contest.
Mr.. Higgins and William MiChae
Byrne, who are leading the Republican
opposition to Wolcott. have had thes'
charges signed 10y tho Republican mem
bers of the bar. Mr.. Byrne expects &
be appointed United States district at
torney, and for this reason does nc
want a Democratic Federal judge. Th'
Republican leaders were very mucl
surprised on Saturday when scme o.
the Republican members Of the New
Castle bar refused to sign the charges
or become mixed up in the fight.

Kanny ReQuests For Books That Amuss

 Once iii awhile the clerks in the pub lie library get hold of good joke Through the ignorance of people who come there to take out books. 1t was not long age that woman who was anxious to join the Daughters of the American Revolution came there to look up her family history and get her facts and claims ready to submit to the committee on membership. She went about 1t ill rather queer way. After looking about aimlessly through the in- dex for time she discovered "Lessing's Family History of the United States. " She wrote her request for the books on one of the cards provided for that pur. pose and was quite indignant with the clerk who handed it to her because it eiid not contain what she wanted. It was not long after this incident that another woman, who, from her dress and appearance, the clerks thought, might be literary, wrote on one of the cards B request for "The Autoerat ot the Breakfast Table. y

 "Oh, don't care whose it is, /" was the reply. |" only want to find out if it ts proper to use toothpioks at the break. last table.

They Render Excellent Service If Ths1
 Are Treated With Consideration.
 Japanese servants are excellent if you choose them with discretion and treat them with the established consideration of the country. There is universal so- eial compact in Japan to make life N pleasant by politeness. Everybody IS
 Ire or less we'll bred and hates the
 or woman who is yakamashu-- A5asy, uneiyil or exigent.
 People who lose their temper are al- ways in a hurry, lang doors, swear and swagger, find themselves out Of place in land where the lowest eooly learns and practices an ancient courtesy from the time when he wabbles about as 8 baby upon his mothers back. Therefore to be treated well in Japan-as perhaps, indeed, elsewhere-you must treat every body, including your domesties, we'll, and then you will enjoy the most pleas ant and willing service.
 Your cook will doubtless cheat you 6 little, your jinrikisha man will now sud then take too much sake, the nus mu and the boys wife will gallop all over the place about everything you do, and the gardener and the coachman will fight cocks i'll the back yard when yec- back is turned, but if conscious of your own you can forgive the little sins of others. You can hardly fail to become closely attached to the quiet soft voiced, pleasant people, who as soon as they haye learned your ways will take real pleasure ill making life agreeable to you.
