In scotch Plaid Gap and GOld-Rinmed
Spectacies 4 'antOr out OF sight.

SARATOGA, y. Y, Aug. l5- The Hon
William Hepburn Russell came to town
this morning and Immediately put on a
Scotch plaid cap, He peered out from his
gold-rimmed spectacles. Cantor wasn't
in sight The Hon. William Hepburn took
eff his cap and ate a few chops and steaks
and omelets for breakfast
Mr.. Hepburn Russell resumed the plaid
cap and his peering. Mr.. Russell said he
did not know why he came here. Most
folks are familiar with the hoop-de-doodle
politics of the Hon. William Hepburn in
the last few years first as a fierce Bryan
man, then as a Tammany buck, next as a
roaring anti-Tammanyite and finally in
the Low camp gentle as a sucking dove.
So it was that the boys told to-day the
story of the fervent colored parson way
down in old Virginny, who began on Tuesday
morning to pray for chicken for his Christ
mas dinner on Friday.

There are mathematical problems in
politics as well as in mercantile life. How
many votes has the Hon William Hepburn
controlled in the past? How many can he
dominate in the future? One sixty-fourth
of per cent in his own election dig, riot.

the bridge the span began TO give but the
engine got across. The second engine
plunged through and was followed by the
baggage car. which was smashed into kind
ling wood. The mail car and chair car turned
half over while the tourist car rolled over
into the ravine. Ten persons in this car
were hurt.

the Boilers From Exploding.

CHICAGO. Aug. ll.--Buffeted by one Of the
most terrific storms Of the summer, the
Barry line steamer Alice Stafford, with
$50 passengers, was for twelve hours driven
disabled before the gale on Lake Michigan
Blankets, soaked in kerosene were burned
on the deck o! the ship in an effort to at
tract attention of other craft, but without
avail. At noon yesterday Capt. Stephen
Jones of the H. w Williams risked the
safety of his ship in a successful effort
10 help the Stafford The disabled vessel
was towed to St Joseph.
The Stafford's danger developed a hero
in Robert MANNER, assistant engineer of
the vessel, who risked his life to prevent
the steamers boilers from exploding when
the machinery broke and the safety valves
refused to work. MANNER ran to the
stokehold and raked the fires from be-
meath the 'boilers As the last Goals fell
at his feet he tainted from exhaustion
and would have died from the gases had
not fellow sailors carried him to the fresh
air of the deck He had severe blsters on
the face and arms.

LASH FOR NEGRO WOMEN.


ATLANTA, Ca. Aug 15.-E mboldened
by the agitation in favor of Mamie De Girls.
the woman recently hogged at convict
farm at Milledgeville, the negro women
in the camp are in mutiny and declare that
they will not be whipped any more t han
white women. The lawlessness and insub-
ordination was 80 general among them to-
day that Capt Fo ster had to go to each
squad and tell them plainly that there
was no change in the laws and that If they
did not behave properly they would not
only he whipped, but whipped severely.
This has had the effect Of taking them down
somewhat
The Prison Commission has as yet rem
dered no decision in the case of Mamie De
Girls. It's members, Gov. Terrell, Warden
Allagood and his family are receiving daily
letters from all over the United States
denouncing the whipping and demanding
prompt action The remarkable thing
about the whole affair is the Indifference
of the commission, and' this, in the face
of Gov. Terrell's desire for Alagoods s
resignation and the indignation OF the
entire State as expressed in petitions to the
Governor and letters directed to individual
members Of the commission.
Allagood has shown no intention Of
resigning voluntarily, and it is said that
the fact of his being Confederate veteran
may influence the commission in his favor.

Mr. Cromwell says Adverse Report Of Com.
mlttcc VIII Have No Effect.

WASHINGTON, Aug. is. Minister Herran
of Colombia and William Nelson Cromwell
of New York called on Assistant Secretary
Loomis at the State Department this morn
ing Both have received mail advices
from Bogota concerning the status of the
canal treaty, and both expressed much
satisfaction to Mr. LooInis over the char
acter Of the news. The State Department
is Still in the dark SO far as official advices
are concerned
Mr.. Cromwell said he had been informed
from Bogota that the entire House and one
third of the Senate we're IN favor OF the
treaty without amendment, and that oppo-
sition in the Senate appeared to be rapidly
dissipating. The report recommending
nine amendments TO the treaty was sub
mitted by an adverse committee. and
would have no more effect, according to
his advices, than report signed by Senator
Morgan would have in the United States
Senate.
The committee was notoriously adverse
to the canal and the treaty, but the Senate
would not be swayed by the report, ac-
cording to Mr.. Cromwel's informant.
There is still plenty Of time within which
he Colombian Congress may act before
the expiration of the time for exchange
of ratficatons. If necessary, a protocol
will be arranged between Minister Herran
and Secretary Hay, extending the time
for exchange Of ratitcations

JOHN s. WISE TO STAY AWAY.
0straclsed In Richmond, He Gives UP Ills
Box for the Horse show There.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. l5.--John S. Wise
of New York has given up the attempt to
get back into the upper set of Richmond
society, a place he was entitled to by
BIRTH but which he impaired by his political
associations after the war and lost entirely
by his recent activities in behalf Of the
negroes here in attacking the Constitution
Of his native State.
News was received in the city to-day that
Mr.. Wise had cancelled his engagement
of a box at the Richmond Horse Show which
will be held in o October. Last year the Wises
occupied box there, but the society people
passed by ii with cold stares and there was
none Of that hospitality shown which Other
visitors received. MIR, Wise has remem-
hered the treatment and has decided not
to again face the experience.
Gov. Wise's family lis distinguished and
his father was Virginia's chief executive at
the outbreak of the civil war and signed
the warrant for hanging John Brown. He
fought bravely for the Confederacy. and
John Wise was with the cadet battalion
at their glorious New Market battle.
After the war MIR. Wise committed the
objectionable sin, in the eyes Of Southern
aristocrats, Of joining the Republican
party. As consequence he was ostracised
socially, and when he made application to
become a member of the Westmoreland
Club in this city he was blackballed. Within
the last year he has made himself more
heartily disliked by associating himself
linn, la N "a
attempt to break the new Constitution of
Virginia. His utterances have been bitter,
and he has paid the penalty in being a
social outcast in the State where his father
was loved leader. News of his cancelling
his engagement for a box was received
here with pleasure.

society by Her Skill.

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 1.-THE polo match

this afternoon was notable because 1t was
the first time in Newport on a public
field that a woman has ever appeared
with mallet in hand and knocked the
white sphere across the field. She was
Mrs. Reginald Brooks. who before her
marriage was Miss Phyllis Lanshorne, a
noted Southern beauty. She is one Of the
best women riders in the cottage colony.
1t was during the last period of the play
that Mrs. Brooks grabbed up a malet,
mounted her horse, had ball thrown to
her and knocked it about the field The
exhibition was so unusual that most OF the
people watched her and paid little at
tention to the game.
