If the pictures of young Adelbert
Hay, as they appear IN the daily
papers are true to life, the kid

American consul TO so important

n MORAL QUESTION ALSO.
In deciding the Roberts case the
house went SO far as to ignores a
thoroughly established precedent
in Difference to a public sentiment
that was expressed in numerous
petitions and by numerous persons
and associations in and out of
Washington.
It's action was clearly without
technical defense. There was no
allegation Of irregularity in Roberts
certfcation. The integrity Of the
returns upon which he received
his certificate of election was not
impeached. No stigma of fraud or
corruption Of the electorate marred
his title. He had a clear majority
over his republican opponent and
was the unmistakable choice of his
party to represent the one congress
ional district of Utah in congress.
In spite Of the regularity of his
credentials, however, the house vot.
ed by an overwhelming majority
to reverse its own practice because
it was convinced by a strong and
persistent agitation that this was
the popular thing to do. Whether
public sen timent actually demand

set aside to administer staggering

PRIEST BEATEN BY A PARENT.
A Father Accuses His Daughters Spri- itual Adviser of Having Insulted
 Her in His Own Church

New Orleans. March 24-Kenner, a little town just outside the city limits of New Orleans, was last night the scene of @ fierce attack on Father Leander Roth, the resident Catholic priest, his assailant being Col. Thomas Sellers, a prominent planter of St. Charles parish.
 The planter got off the New Orleans train, and, seeing the priesa on the station platform, rushed upon him, dealing him blow after blow with a heavy stick, saying at the same time: You insulted my daughter in your own church" The priest denied that he even knew the woman in question: but no denial would satisfy the irate parent, and as no one went to the pre- lates assistance he was badly beaten. He is new confined to his bed.
 A claim is made by friends of Father Roth that he net only did not insult Col Sellers daughter, but that the at tack was the result of his refusing ab- solution to certain members of the Sell CTS family

ENGLAND'S WAR FLEETS.
The Russian Admiralty Said to Be Staggered by the Proposed Adldi-
 ton to Britains Navy

London March 24.-A dispatch to the Daily Graphic from Sabastopol says that the estimates fer the British navy which were submitted few days ago to the house of commons, have stag gered naval headquarters at that place. It is the opinion at the Naval club that it would be idle for European powers to attempt to increase their fleets in proportion to the additions to be made to the British navy, and that the smaller maritime powers had better cease augmencing their navies, hereby depriving Great Britain of the trifiing excuses she now seizes upon to swell her war fleets. Otherwise, the British will shortly be able to blockade Europe from the Baltic to the BosphOIus.
 The correspondent adds that he learns that the admiralty at St. Peters, burg was also greatly astOnished by the additions proposed to be made by Great Britain to her sea power.

MUSKRAT IN A MAIL BOX.
Bit a Letter Carriers Hand-Two Stamps on a Tag Tied About
 It's Neck

Mount Vernon, N. Y, March 24.- Last night while United States Mall Carrier Reuben Mcintyre was collect ing the mail he stopped as usual at the large paper and parcel box near the New Haven railroad station. He un- locked the slide and pushed his arm down into a pile of papers, but sud- denly withdrew it with an exclamation of pain. His hand, instead of closing upon the mail, had grasped something hairy which had bitten him. Peeping into the receptacle the postman saw q pair of fetCcious eyes gleaming in the darkness. At first he thought that it was a cat, but Cm investigation was found to be full grown muskrat
 The animal had tag tied about it's nesk on which were two stamps, show ing that it had been mailed, but there was no address. The carrier placed his bag at the opening of the box, and, by beating on the tin with a club, scared the animal cut and made it a prisoner. He took it to the postoffice. The clerks immediately christened it Rube, in honor of its captor- Mcintyre says he thinks the muskrat was put in the box by some mischivous boys
