SHOOTING At BIG GAME.

The Prince Of Wales has been
travelling ON the Continent, and had
a narrow escape from an assassin's
bullet near Brussels, recently. The
train had stopped at Station du
Nord, a small place. and as it
started a young fool named Sipido.
Jumped upon the foot-board of the
Princes saloon car, and fred two
shots point blank at him, but in his
excitement, and the car moving.
missed entirely. AS the Prince and
Princess were together, it was a
narrow escape for both. The
anarchist was iinsmith from Brus-
sells and seemed very proud Of his
deed, because the Prince caused
thousands OF men to be slaughtered
in South Africa" he said.
Upon hearing the shots the sta.
tionmaster rushed to the scene and
knocked down the would-be assas-
sins arm, as he prepared to fire a
third shot, and a number of persons
threw themselves on the Princes
assailant.
After the Prince of Wales had
ascertained that the man who fred
the shots had been arrested, he de-
clared himself and the Princess
uninjured and the train started.
The Prince appeared quite unaf-
fected by the incident He asked
whether the revolver was loaded,
and on being informed in the
affirmative, smiled and begged that
the culprit might not be treated too
severely.
The Prince and Princess were on
their way to Copenhagen for the
purpose of attending the celebra
ton Of King Christians birthday,
April 8.
An examination of Sipido's re-
volyer showed that four chambers
had been discharged, but that two
of the cartridges had missed fire.

Chicago is preparing for a big
celebration on Dewey Day in COM
memoration of The battle of Manila
Bay, and in sending out invitations
TO the occasion, one of the clerks in
Mayor Harrison's Office sent one to
the Duke D'Arcos, the Spanish MIN
lister at Washington City. 1t was
probably done for joke, but it was
rubbing it in on the naughty Don
pretty strong. and he replied in
rather plain terms, and the Mayor
writes a letter explaining that it was
ALA mistake.

Now that the House has passed
the bill by an overwhelming majority
in favor of electing Senators by a
direct vote of the people, what will
the Senate do with it2 This is a
reform long needed, and would have
become law ere this but for the
opposition of the Senators, many of
whom could never be elected by the
votes of the people. They can-buy
up Legislature, but not a whole
State, unless they had money to
burn like Senator Clark, from Mon
tana.

ThePorto Rico tariff finally passed
the House last week, by a vote Of
I6I to 1853. Nine Republicans
voted against the bill, which places
duty of IS per cent. Of the Dingley
rates on Porto Rico goods. The
bill had already passed the Senate,
and has now been signed by the
Speaker of the House, President of
the Senate and Mckinley in spite of
his "plain duty" to the contrary.
The Republican party will be awful
sick of this measure before they
hear the last of it.

England certainly counted her
Boer prisoners before they were cap

war has only just fairly begun, and
it looks like he was right, as the
old man usually is. The South

is much more severe than we would
imagine in this country. The Eng
lish troops are not prepared for il
at all, as they expected to whip the
Beers and end the war ere winter

HIS FOOT IN N AGAIN.

Our Governor. George Wesley
Atkinson, with his twenty-five hun.
dred majority in Preston, has put
his foot in again. The Wheeling
News published the statement that
there was trouble between Atkinson
and President Raymond, of the
University, because the latter re-
fused to allow him mileage, when
he attended meeting of the State
Board of Geology at Morgantown,
and the Governor wrote the News
as follows:
l. l did not charge railroad
fare, and gave as reason that
had railroad pass, and therefore
paid no railroad fare.
2 | collected no railroad fare.
3. There was no discussion be-
tween DR.. Raymond and myself on
that subject.
You and your correspondent both
hed about 1t. Respectfully,
G.. w. ATKINSON.
TO which the editor replies in
this way:
II may be pertinent TO invite
public attention to the fact that the
Governor of West Virginia, who is
a member of the board whose duty
IT is to assess railroad property for
taxation, does not consider it at all
improper or unseemly TO advertise
the fact that he accepts and uses
the passes of these railroads.
What service does the Governor
render these corporations that en-
titles him to free transportation?

fall campaign fund unless they are
given at least this much as earnest
of the good faith of the Republican
party.
