Dfneh hr a Princess.

Charles Harris, a seaman of the Raj
eigh, had queer experience in Cairo on
the way home from Manila, says the New
York correspondence of the Philadelphia
Record. He was dined and wined in the
Savoy, the fashionable hotel of Cairo, by
the Princess Chimay, once Clara Ward
of Detroit, the young woman whose wild
doings scandalized two continents.
Jackie Harris was born and bred in
Newport, r. I. His ther years ago
was editor of paper there. A couple of
years ago Harris went to Hong Kong.
where he worked on the Transcript, an
English newspaper. In fit of war en-
thusiasm, he gave up his place and joined
the Raleigh's crew.
OF his recent experiences he said to-day:
THE Raleigh reached Alexandria Feb. 10,
and stopped several days to coal. Sixty

Americans, and they went crazy over us.

lady wanted to see me in the parlor l
went there and the lady said: Aren't YOU
Charlie Harris of Newport? 1 knew your
father there, and YOU too. 1 am the Prin-
cess Chimay, who used 20 be Clara Ward .
i wouldn't have recognized her. She
mas grown stout, but she is still a beau
tlful woman. She doesn't dress as hashily
as she did in Newport years ago. She
said: l want to dine one of Dewey's
boys. Won't you have dinner with me?'

Princess in my sailor toys and YOU should

the action of May l, what the shells did

After dinner, as my story was not half

A jury in Baltimore county. Maryland,
court the other day refused 10 convict
woman of murder because the penalty OF
murder in the first degree in that state is
death. The woman's guilt was clearly es-
upon Justice to have found her guilty in
any less degree than the first so the jury
men refused to find her guilty at all. Thus
she goes scot free because of the mistaken
sentmentality of twelve men, and would
be justified in taking her acquittal as Ii
cense to Kill again.

A VOTE ron QUAY

on the Corbett case, but the Senate refused
to permit Corbett to have the seat to
which he had been appointed under cir
cumstances similar to those under which
Senator Quay was appointed. The legis-
lature of Oregon failed to elect a senator

self, II is not bound by precedents
The chances are that it will not be bound
by presidents in the case of Senator
Quay. He is very popular with senators
of both political parties, and it would not
be at all surprising If precedents should
be disregarded and the senator seated.
And 1t is evident that the senator is. CO.
ing to make an effort to retain his hold
on his party in his state. He has an
nounced that he will be a candidate for the
position of delegate TO the state conven-
ton of his party soon to meet for the
nomination of a state ticket Some of the
Republican papers of the state are pre-
dieting that If he succeeds IN his efforts
there will be a split in the party-a spit
that will give the Democrats fair charice
to carry the state. That being the case,
the Democrats have nothing to complain
of in Senator Quay's political attitude II
is certain that Pennsylvania would be
much better off under a staunch Demo-
cratic government than under the control
of the Republican officials who now direct
her public affairs. 1t would be difficult 10
find in any other state lot of politicians
who are so utterly indifferent TO the well
fare of the people as those who are at the
head of affairs in the Keystone State.

TYPHOID AND MALARIA IN CUBA.

All the troops which have arrived here
from Cuba appeared to be in good health
at the time of their arrival In fact,
most of them seemed to be In better
health than when they sailed for Cuba.
But some of the troops now in that island
are faring badly as far as health is con-
cerned. A Havana dispatch, dated Monday
last says that there have been twenty
deaths among members of the Eighth Cav
airy, stationed in the city of Puerto Prin-
cipe, from typhoid fever and that there
have been 100 cases of that disease in tine
regiment. The physicians cannot give
satisfactory explanation of the presence
of the disease. The camp is thought by
competent judges to be excellent in every
respect. The tents have floors which are
fully three feet above the ground The
water is good, apparently, but it is filtered
and boiled before being used. Extraordi-
nary care is taken in getting rid of the
camp refuse. A curious thing is that the
Fifteenth Infantry, encamped on the other
slope of the same ridge, has not had
single case of typhoid fever
In some parts of the island the troops are
suffering considerably from malarial fe-
vers. In the city of Pinar del Rio there
are 100 enlisted men, aud of that num-
Der 1873 are on the sick list The most Of
the cases are of a malarial type. 1t is ap-
parent that in some sections of the island
there is great deal more sickness than In
others. What the reason is could no
doubt be discovered if a thorough inves-
tigation were made. Doubtless it is the
presence of stagnant water or deeaying
vegetation. The fact that the volunteers
come back looking remarkably well, in
nearly every instance, is calculated to give
a better impression of the health condi-
tons of the island than existed before our
soldiers were sent there

THEY FIND THEM AMusING.

The Republican papers of the North pre-
tend to find the resolutions adopted by
the Florida Legislature in favor of a duty
on Egyptian cotton amusing. They in
sist that they are combination demand
for free trade and protection.
The fact that a Democrats legislature
asks for a protective duty on any article
gives the Republicans profound satisfac-
ton. But they are not fair in their dis
cussion of such resolutions as that adopt
ed by the Florida Legislature. We can
not have any other kind of a tariff than
protective one as long as the Republic
cans have control Of the government. That
being the case, there is nothing left for
the Democrats to do but demand protec-
ton for the things in which they are in
terested.
If a tariff for revenue only were in force
it is probable that F .Oridians would be sat
is1ed with only a revenue tariff on Egyp-
ton cotton, which comes into competi-
ton with the long staple cotton of their
state. but as they are heavily taxed on
everything they need in making their cot
ton crop-all of their agricultural imple-
ments and machinery as well as many Oh
the necessaries of Hfe-they must have
protection for the products of their farms
ia order 20 make both ends meet.
The same thing is true in respect to the
saw mill men. They demanded protec-
ltion against the lumber of Canada, be-
cause there was heavy duty on every
thing they used in the manufacture OF
lumber. They couldn't pay heavy taxes
on all they used in the production of ium-
Der, and compete with the free-trade Ium-
Der of Canada. So Florida cotton plant
ers cannot pay heavy tariff taxes on all
they use in making long-staple cotton and
compete successfully with the free-trade
made cotton of Egypt. If the Republi-
can papers were honest in discussing the
resolutions of the Florida Legislature they
wouldn't see anything amusing In them
