My colleagues and I recognize the
great responsibilities devolving upon
the fifty-sixth Congress, and the neces-
sity for perfect harmony in the Repub-
lican party To further prolong my
candidacy, whether successful or unsuc-
cessful. it is thought, might result in
embarrassment to the successful candi-
date in the proper administration of his
great office
Believing. as I do. that my retire
ment from the Speakership race at this
time will simplify the situation and
conduce to harmony in the party, with
consequent best results to the whole
country, have, with the approval OF
the Illinois delegation, decided to with
draw from the Speakership contest.
After my withdrawal and further
conference by the delegation it was de-
cided to support Colonel Henderson,
candidacy for the Speakership. in which
action I fully concur. My withdrawal
and the subsequent action of the Illi-
nois delegation were had without any
consultation with Colonel Henderson OF
any of his supporters and without his OF
their knowledge"
At the conclusion of the conference
Mr. Hopkins sent the following tele-
gram to Colonel Henderson at Dubuque
Ia:

the refusal to deliver them to the de-

against them and was holding them
only on suspicion. The crime of alb
duction, he says, was committed in New
York City and the prisoners should have
been brought here at once.
The Captain says he will appeal to

How the Clever Bird Helped Its Mis-

Nice .Jackpots.

A Chicago woman who owns very
clever pasrot, entertained few of her
women friends last week by giving a
poker party. Since then the cleverness
of the bird has greatly risen il the
minds of the women friends. There
were two tables, six at each, and the
game was a 25-cent ante. There was
much merriment as well as good play
ing, for since the game has become
fashionable the women have spent so
much time in becoming good poker
players as they used to in learning
whist
After awhile the game began in ear
nest and the guests became as inter
