The speakership Fight Begun

The Speakership Fight Begun
Proceeding on the principle that the early
bird is the one that catches the worm
the Hon. Champ Clark. of Pike County.
has quietly started a campaign for the
Speakership of the next House. For some
reason not easily explained, the Demo-
Gratis are confident of capturing the House
of the FiFty-seventh Congress in the No
yember elections. even If they lose every
thing else No public announcement OF
the CLARK candidacy has been made
though it is the subject of lively talk
in the Democratic cloakroom OF the
House. 1t would appear that the pictur-
esque Missouri orator believes something
has occurred to remove the Hon. James
d. Rich ,rason from the field as the lead
ing cand date of the party for the Speak
ership. though the rule is that the titu-
lar leader of the minority is directly in
line FL, the chief honor of the House
when his party is in power. II the Zen
nesseean has been eliminated by any I'M
toward eventuality. then, if the rule OF
succession were adhered to, the Hon. David
A. DeArmond of Missouri. who was Mr.
Richardson's closest competitor for the
present leadership, would fall heir TO the
Speakershp. Next to Judge DeArmond
in this line of succession is the Hon. John
H Bankhead of Alabama, wit. the Hon
W. E Sulzer OF New York bringing up the
rear. But it is presumed the Hon. Champ
Clark proposes to defy ali of these ira
dtions and boldly assert his right to
seek the suffrages OF his fellow members
of the House for Speaker when the returns
in November show that the Democrats
have come into their own again. Mr..
Clark is unconventional in everything he
does. and he would only be following his
natural bent II he should ignore the I'M
written rules that hedge about the Speak
ership and contest that prize with all
Corners Whethc. or not he is willing to
submit the question in dispute between
him and Judge DeArmond to the Missouri
delegation is not stated 1t is asserted
as probable that he would not care thus
to embroil his State delegation in profit
less contest, which would be almost Ger
tain to result in the defeat of both him
self and Judge DeArmond. And so it is
likely that he will be an Independent
candidate. not looking to any particular
State for support, but confidently expect
ing to get votes from every delegation in
which there Is a Democrat who admires
his abilities as an orator Of the first
magnitude-as an orator who has been
able to talk to a standstill On the ex-
pansion question in numerous lyceums of

Fashions in Roses.


From the New oik sum-
The ure-eminence Of the American Beauty as
,b. most popular OF roses seems 10 have CONS
10 an end and the moss positive evidence Of this
can he found in the temperance in the flower
sbons of the beautiful Baroness Rothschild, -
which for the last ten years has been displayed
in very small quantities. Another evidence OF
the American Beauy's declining popularity is
tbe decrease in prices. The best OF them are sold
now BY The growers AT 10 cents apiece, and can
b. had at retail for IS cents; while the Baroness
Roihsohild, in spite OF its long stretch of I'M
popularity, commands a higher price. FASHIONS
in flowers are never easy to explain. The harechal
Mel, so long popular, is .arely seen in the
florists while Ia France. Nermet. and other
kinds have been equally neglected with advantage
to the American Beauty. Now reaction Seems
TO have set in, however. and there is a chance
that the latter will be compelled TO take back
seat for while.

Stomach troubles common and I'm most

This fear OF being humbugged can be carried too

lDEN FITTED BYf M0Y SING
oolored Man Held for Hearing Charged With
Attempted Murder.
Selected by Injured Chinaman ms His
AssaiIant-The Prisoner De-
mics the AccusntfOn.

James cambridge, colored waiter, twen-
ty-three years old. who} olives at No 1925
18th street northwest, is in the custody OF
the police, charged with having shot and
seriously wounded Moy Sing in the latter's
laundry ct 10th and P streets about ten
days ago. He was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon by Detectives Lacy and Brown,
when he called at Moy Sings laundry to
get some articles left there to be washed
Moy Sing saw cambridge at the hospital
later in the day, and identified him as the
man who fired the shot.
The arrest was made by the detectives
upon statements made by the victim Dur
ing the investigation of the case Moy Sing
gave the officers the description of his as
sai1ant, which corresponds with that of
cambridge. The laundryman said to the Of
ficers that he was asleep, and the burglar
cut the glass from a side door and entered
his place. The intruder got into his little
sleeping room and was on his knees search
ing for money when he (Moy Sing was
awakened. AS he raised himself from his
bunk the coloTed man got up from the floor
and fired the shot before there was any
struggle.
The man who shot him, Moy Sing stated,
was one of his customers with whom he
had had trouble He said the buttonholes-
in the collars belonging to the colored man
were shaped, and the officers concluded
they would arrest the man who called for
this particular package All the packages
in the laundry were examined. and those
described were marked and laid aside. Two
packages were made of them, and Sing Lee
who has been in charge of the laundry since
the shooting, was told what to do.
Told to Call Again.
When cambridge called and was given
one package he was told that the balance
Of his laundry would be finished yester-
day afternoon. cambridge called at the
time stated and was surprised by the de-
tectives, who placed him under arrest. He
was not armed nor was revolver found
in his home by the detectives, who made
search for it.
Soon after being arrested cambridge was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital, where
the Chinaman identified him without any
hesitation. Fully dozen cOlored men had
been previously taken to the hospital be-
fore yesterday, but the patient said the
right man had not been brought before him.
cambridge denies that he knows anything
of the crime. He is waiter by occupation
and has recently been employed in taking
care Of furnaces at the houses of several
prominent citizens. 1t is stated that he
has also been employed at the house of
United States senator for several months.
So far as the police have been able to as
certain the prisoner seems to enjoy a good
reputation. He will probably be taken to
the Police Court tomorrow.
