BY way OF comment. the Timas says:
These figures show two things. the FIRST
Of which is that the South b. at last de-

and the second is that no matter how
severe the recent business depression may
have been in other sections the South
was prospecting as never before. II could
stand an indefinite extension Of this kind

Southern development there will soon be

Presented Mr.. Addicks' Creden-
ifals, which Were Referred.

Two would-be Senators from Delaware
arrived in Washington yesterday forenoon.
Each had his credentials with him. J.
Edward Adoicks came at 10 o'clcck He
was accompanied by L. NJ. Wilson, of
Delaware, the messenger of the DeIaw are
electoral college, ard one OF tie most
active Addicks men in the little State An
holr later Gen. K. Z. Kenney arrived.
Kenney was the first to reach the Capt
toi. de had a conference with several
Democratic Senators in the Presidents
room. He was introduced to them by
Senator George Gray he also handed his
credentials to Senator Gray It is under
stood that the latter viii present them
formally to the Senate next Tuesday BY
that time several Democratic and silver
Senators, who are now uuU OF the city,
notably Senators Jones and Teller, will
have returned, and policy can be agreed
upon There is no uoubt OF Gray's posi-
ton He viii fight to give Kenney the
seat, and this, probably, indicates the
attitude OF the other gold Democratic
Senators excepting Palmer.
Mr. Addiosks handed his credentials TO
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire. Late
in the afternoon Mr.. Chandler sent them
up to the Secretary's desk to be read They
We're in due form except for the absence
of q ov. Tunnels signature.
Mr.. Gray inquired where the Senator
from New Hampshire got that interesting
document.
1T was handed me by Mr.. j Edw ard
AddickS, replied Mr.. Chandler, who be-
lieves he should be sworn in as the Senator's
colleague. However, as / presented some
few days ago the petition of MIR. Henry A
Dupont, who also believes himself to be
entitled to be sworn in, refrain from
presenting MIR. Addicks at this time to
take the oath of Office"
The AddickS credentials were then re-
ferred to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, TO which the Dupont paper
went sometime ago.
Neither Kenney nor Addiclls appeared on
the floor OF the Senate yesterday, but
Messenger Wilson was there, enjoying
his brief distinction as senator for a
day" under the resolution of Senator
Hoar, which gives all these messengers
Senate floor for twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Addicks and his friend, Mr. Wilson,
were seen by The Times yesterday. Mr.
Wilson was greatly pleased with the duty
he had performed. Il was one of the
delegates thrown out OF the st. Louis
convention for not being agoodRcpuhiican, y

She SEIZED THE ROBBER
Miss Rosa Buhler Roughly Handled
Near the Circus Grounds.
A Negro Threw Her to the Ground
ing 1t Contained yaIuables.

Miss Rosa Buhler had an encounter in
on Wednesday night on the north side OF
Z street in front of the circus grounds.
She lives at No. 1407 North Capitol street,
with the family OF Mr.. Ferdinand Ehr-
lardt, and is a dressmaker, working with
Mrs Rosa Korn. Miss Buller was on her
way home between 6 and o'clock, and
when at the corner OF Third and p, going
east, her attention was attracted to a
colored man, neatly dressed, who was
apparently following her Intentionally.
Miss Buliler was, however, not unduly
alarmed, as she had travelled this way fire.
quently, but when the man got nearer he
made dash for her satchel, seized it,
and eudeavored to wrench 1t out OF her
grasp She resisted pluckily, which gave
the hghwayman the idea that IL was
even more valuable than he thought 1t
was N unequal match, however. He threw
the lady TO the ground, prevented her from
screaming, took the satchel and made off
l n the struggle Miss Buhler caught her as
sailant by tile throat and believes that
she marked it so that the man may be
recognized.
Miss Buhler received painful bruises in
the struggle, besides being thrown in the
mud and snow on the side OF the pave
nent. A lampli ghter came along and found
her in this plight, but her hat and urn-
breIla were found at soIuc distance from
tile place where she lay. This showed
that she had continued the struggle for
some time and was trying to make her
escape The highwayman got nothing for
his pains and crime. The satchel was
