QUEEN TAIToU A sTIcKLER.
Menelek's wife Occupies a Disniied
Position on Abysstnia's
Throne.

There is no European queen consort
filing more dignifed station than En-
press Taitou of Abyssinia. She has a
large household Of her own, her lord
stewards, chamberlains, buffers, cooks
and guards. She directs all the grand
feasts. has immense appanages all over
the empire, and resources in kind. She
leads sedentary life because there are
no interesting promenades, but when
she shows herself in public she is sur
rounded with ladies, mounted on rich
ly-harnessed mules, with runners, um-
brella bearers and other attendants.
The umbrellas are of many colors, but
Taitou's is red.
The empress is a stickler for eti-
quette, to which Meneiek attaches NO
Importance. Nobody who has not been
formally presented to her must gaze on
her, even within the precincts of the
palace. She has large kitchen garden
which is one of her many delights, but
the moment the red umbrella appears
the gardeners must retire. All the serv.
ants stand aloof with downcast eyes as
she walks by. Not taking much exer.
else, Taitou is lost in fat. Nevertheless
her presence is dignified. She is won
derfully wen informed, converses clev'
erly, and can be charming. Her letters
are well written, and in bright, nat.
ural style. They might put TO shame
those of many well-educated Euro
pean lady. The dress of the empress il
only distinguished from that of hel
ladies by its impeachable cleanliness
and neatness.

Digging for Eish.

The natives OF Kottiar are in the habit
of digging every year in the summer
dry banks of the yergel river for fish,
which they dig out by hundreds, just as
they would potatoes. The mud Jumps
are broken open and the fish, perhaps
eight or ten inches long, will always be
found alive and often .frisky, as if just
removed from its supposedly native ele-
ment-the water.

INCREASE IN EXPORT
OF EMBRoIpERIES

New York, Dec. 21.-When United
subject of Swiss embroideries some
months ago and insisted upon uniform
valuations, il was contended by some
that this policy would have a bad effect
upon imports of embroideries especially
from the St Gall District, Switzerland.
Contrary to this view, it is found that in
actual experience the imports of en-
broideries from ST Gall have increased
nearly 100000 for the month of Novem-
ber 1898. compared with November. 1897.
The embroidery imports from ST. Gall for
the two months have been as follows:
November, 1897, S51,SI1; November, 1885,
81, ,009, l25
In the face of constant prophecy by the
exporters at St. Gall and the importers
in the United States. who contended that
the vigorous action of the custom house
at New York would seriously diminish
the exports from ST Gall one firm
which openly avowed that the action of
the custom house at New York would
make ii impossible to carry on business
with the United States, recently sent to
New York, in one day, nearly 80 900
francs worth OF emborideries etc. This
is the largest single shipment ever made
by one firm al one time to New York.
Appraiser Wakeman has received a let
ter from St. Gall. which states that "a
better condition of business has been es-
tablished, preventing, in a measure. dis
| honest and unfair competition and a
large revenue has been collected" 1t is
also interesting to note that the total ex-
ports from Switzerland during November.
1885, as compared with November. 1897,
have increased to the amount of S52l. .67e,
and of this sum fully 20 per cent came
from ST. Gall.

OPEN REPUBLICAN,
THREATS OF VIOLENCE
OUTLAW SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED
Before Allowing a Democratic Senator
From West Virginia Attorney General
Rucker Would Fight.

Rather than see the Democrats gain
control of the legislature OF my State
and elect the Senator from West Vir-
ginia / would prefer armed resistance to
the fraud" said Edgar r. Rucker, the at
torney general of West Virginia, yester-
day at the end of an extended conference
of the leading Republican politicians Of
West Virginia at the home Of Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, in this city.
THE Republicans" he continued,
have the majority in the legislature on
joint ballot and they intend to keep it.
know that my former utterances on this
question have caused the hue and cry of
anarchist to be raised against me, but
l intend to stand by everything that L
have said, and will reaffirm it"
The conference of West Virginia Re-
publicans at which the above statement
was uttered was the most representative
crowd of politicians that ever journeyed
here from West Virginia. 1t included
Gov. Atkinson, Senator Elkins, Repre-
sentatives Dayton Miller, Represen-
tative-elect Romeo II. Freere, T. Il.
Houston. ]. II. Huling, Capt John h.
Thompson, A. b. White, George c. Stur-
CESS, John II. Mason, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Scott and about twenty
more of the machine men of the State.
The reason for the imperative summons
that was sent to each of them by Sena-
tor EIkins is the acute position that af-
fairs in the West Virginia legislature are
commencing to assume, before even Its
meeting The gravamen of the matter is
that the Republican party now stands In
a fair way to lose control of the leSisla-
ture, and thereby the election of a United
States Senator to succeed Senator Faux
ner, a Democrat.
As the legislature stands on joint bal
lot the Republicans control by one vote,
But two of the hold-over Republican SEN
ators have at present commissions in the
volunteer service of the United States
The Democrats claim that they thereby
forfeit their seats in the Senate and
have elected two Democratic senators to
fill their places, and state that they Will
seat these men.
The Republicans claim that they shall
not be seated, and the contest involves
the Senatorship Much bitter feeling has
been excited. Gov. Atkinson has threat
ened to use the State militia If necessary
to insure seating GetZandiner and Pier
son, the two senators who have entered
the United States volunteer service, and
Attorney General Rucker has been max
ing incendiary statements and threats
in regard to what should be done if the
Democrats gain control.
At the close OF the conference yester-
day prominent Republican from West
Virginia, who attended it, said
We have decided TO hold the legisla-
ture at any hazard. If the Democrats in
the house unseat any Republican We will
unseat as many Democrats in the senate.
II the matter is pushed too far we will
fill the legislative halls with guards, or
ganize an Independent house, consisting
of Republicans only, and they will be rec
ognized by the Republican governor of
the, State, Mr.. Atkinson

rroyincfalism on ItsLast Legs.

Although IL Is possible that there may
be a good deal of oracular opposition TO
expansion on the floors of Congress dur
ing The weeks TO come, very few people
imagine that ii viii amount to more than
superfuous talk, and talk of a kind
that those who indulge in it will be very
sorry TO be reminded of later.
He would be totally blind TO the signs
of tie times who did not realize that
when once the Treaty Of Peace has been
ratified. and no sane person entertains
amy doubt on that subject, all hope of
opposition to expansion will be at an
end
The densest of the provincialists who
are still butting their heads against the
rock Of universal American sentiment
and manifest destiny. will be able to ap-
preciate their ridiculous position before
the end of the present session of Con-
gress. Already several of the coterie have
taken the back track. and are declaring
that their views and expressions have
been misunderstood and misquoted by
the press OF their home places
Statesmen of the Hoar and Hale variety
have never appeared TO much advantage
before the American public since the days
when they championed the cause of the
Spaniards against suffering Cuba and
common humanity Their present atti-
tude in antagonizing another general and
irresistible movement Of the people will
be quite as disastrous TO the cause they
once more seek to serve.

Paid His Debts in Full.

New York, Dec. 2l.-Members of the
Cotton Exchange were very agreeably
surprised yesterday at the receipt of
checks from Walter T. Miller, member
of the Exchange, in settlement of debts
amounting to $4,000, which were nullified
by Millers failure and the settlement
agreed to by his creditors ten years ago.
The checks are in full payment of all his
liabilities. The creditors agreed to accept
a settlement of 80 cents on the dollar.
Many OF the firms who received the
checks had forgotten all about Mr.. Mil
lers failure, and others had destroyed
the books containing records of their ac-
count with him.

New York. Dec. 21.-Prof. John Bell
Hatcher. of Princeton, has gone back to
Patagonia to continue his search for rare
fossils and explore the interior of the
country. He expects TO be absent three
years. Two years ago he entered the
country. but ill-health forced his return
TO Princeton this fall. A months rest was
all he would take. Prof. Hatcher's trips
are made with a couple of Indians as
guides, Every trip up the country means
a voluntary exile from the world for six
months. He lives and works with his old
guides, never seeing a white man from the
time he leaves the coast until his return.
He was the first man TO Introduce an
American wagon into Patagonia, carrying
the parts south and building the wagon
himself.
On his last trip he got together a valua-
bic collection of the fauna and fora of
the country as we'll as a collection OF fos-
siIs. He also discovered lake. which he
named Princeton, after the university.

CLOUDS In FRONT OF
QUAY GROW DARKER
CHANCES OF REELECTION SLIM
Powerful Republican Influences in the
Keystone State Working to Defeat
the Senator.


Philadelphia, Dec. 21.-Senator Quay is
much exercised over his chances of retain
ing his seat in the United States Senate
There is little doubt in the minds of the
well-inforned that he is now serving his
last term at Washington. The bitter an
tagonism of Dave Martin and Senators
Magee and Flynn to Quay's reelection
viii be a powerful lever in effecting his
defeat
Secretary Martin owes Senator Quay
nothing. He asks no favors at his hands
and has openly declared his intention to
oppose him to the end. Unless Quay clears
himself of the charges of conspiracy be-
fore the Republican caucus is held Secre-
tart Martin and the Philadelphia delega-
ton will refuse to take any part in it.
The opposition among the Republican
members of the new Legislature has as
sumed such proportions that Quay's de-
feat is predicted on all sides. 1t is known
that sixty-seven members of the house
and senate are pledged against his re-elec-
ton. This does not include the forty
four members from Philadelphia and the
nineteen West Pennsylvania legislators.
The vote a joint ballot for Senator
numbers 16i. majority is eighty-three.
which number Ii is necessary for Quay to
have TO gain the caucus nomination.
Quay was in the city yesterday. Dis
cussing District Attorney Grahams an
swer TO the plea upon which the supreme
court granted the writ of certiorari, he
said to one of his friends:
'tThe answer of the district attorney
does not open any new features in the
case. The spirit in which it was written.

taking the steps they did in appealing to
