SCHLEY AND MILES.
Democrats Would Have Them Take the
Stump

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: The democrats have approached Rear
Admiral Schley with the hope of inducing
him to enter the campaign as spellbinder.
The idea seems to be 20 have him and Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, who has already yolun-
around the country together.
1t is stated that the request for Admiral
Schley's presence in the campaign came
from democratic national Headquarters in
New York. 1t is also said that two or three
prominent Maryland democrats have under
taken the task of inducing the retired naval
officer to enter the campaign. 1t is report
ed that their efforts have not yet met with
success.
If Admiral Schley should consent to enter
the campaign he will depart from his rule
not to display any activity in polittcs So
rigidly has he adhered to this rule that he
never registered and voted but once in his
lie, and that vote was cast at q New York
state election. friend who was a candi-
date, it is said, induced him to vote for him
Without this personal request 1t is doubtful
II the admiral would have voted at all IT is
said that his only vote was for republican
candidates.
When prominently mentioned for the
democratic nomination for the presidency
four years ago Admiral Schley then most
positively refused to have his name consd-
cred in this connection
Because of the admirals great disinclina-
ton to take part in politics it is believed
that he will decline to be drawn into the
pending campaign

HOUSE OF COMMONS FAILED
TO THROW DOWN THE MINISTRY
Government Supported in the Introduction Of
Chinese Labor Into South Afrca-CampbelI-
Bannerman Declared Ii Was Slavery

London, March 21.-In the House of
Commons to-day the Liberal leader,
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman,
moved his vote of censure presented
March Is, to the effect that this House
disapproves the conduct of his majes-
tvs government in advising the crown
not to disallow the ordinance for the
Introduction of Chinese labor into the
Transvaal."
After a sharp debate the motion was
rejected by a vote of 299 to 242. Sixty
five Nationalist members voted against
the government.
Sir Henry said nothing the govern
ment had done since the close of the
South African War had so sorely tried
the people of this country as its sane
ton of the introduction of Chinese la
Dor into South Africa. 1t was impossi-
BILE to conceive a greater departure
from the principles by which Great
Britain hitherto had made her way in
the world than the importation of
aliens as the bondsmen of mining spec
ulators.
Sir Henry laid special stress on the
provision to the effect that any one
harboring deserting Chinaman would

But the two former have the compen-
sation of seeing their own two colors
much more brightly than ordinary
people.
The color-blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer of the navy
went one day to buy material for a
coat, vest and trousers. He bought
blue coat and red trousers, believing
them of the same color. A British
admiral painted a landscape and was
very proud of his performance, but
he made the tree red, thinking it was
the same color as green. When he
purchased a pair of trousers he chose
green ones, suspecting them to be
brown.
"An architects pupil, being directed
to copy the picture of a brown house,
made the house green, the sky scarlet
and the roses blue.
"A post Office clerk was always
short in his accounts because he
could not distinguish the different col
ored stamps. And a sedate quaker
has been known to buy a green coat
for himself and a red gown for his
wife, thinking they were both brown.
IF YOU see a man in the street with
a preposterous display of colors.
charitably believe him to be one of
the color-blind.
Just why the eyes of women are
less defective in the matter of distin-
gushing colors than those of a man
is one of the things in nature that is
unexplained. The construction is the
same, yet the woman's superiority in
matching colors has always been rec
ognized, even where man has had the
advantage of long experience

titled in making the request for the in
crease.
Does that look suspicious?" asked
Mr.. Richardson.
1T would all depend upon the facts
whether any one else had building
that they want to rent to the govern
ment," Mr.. Bristow replied.
The Humboldt (Tenn.) case was next
taken up, where additional rent had
been secured, and there, too, Mr.. Rich
ardson stated that the town had grown
and asked if there could be any CEN
sure justified.
THAT then would be a case in which
rents had been increased by Mr.. Beav-
ers for his personal friends?" asked
Mr.. Bartlett.
Not if it was a legitimate rent" an
Ewered Mr.. Bristow.
Mr.. Bartlett then read to Mr.. Brs
tow a number of questions to ascertain
the identity of the persons who had
prepared the report, first asking with
reference to that part of the report re-
ferring to the clerk hire. Mr.. Bristow
said he had no information except what
he had been told. He suggested that
Mr.. Wynne could answer that ques-
ton. AS to the lease section of the
report, he said he would furnish the
committee with list of the inspectors
who made up the report.
Things BristOvv Didn't Know.
Mr.. Bartlett also wanted to know
how the report was sent to the House
Committee on Postof1ces and Post
Roads, and if by messenger, who the
messenger was.
Mr.. Bristow had no knowledge on
this point.
do you know whether this report,
after it was compiled, was submit
ted to any other person than officials
of the Postoffice Department? 2"
II have no knowledge" was the
reply.
Mr.. Bristow could not say whether
there was in the report to the POST
Office Committee any proof of inn
proper conduct on the part OF MEM
bers of Congress. He explained that
in his own report he was not endeaV-
oring to ascertain whether members
had done wrong. He said:

gate was Mr. Beavers. That report
refers to the methods of his admins

be treated as a receiver of stolen
goods If this did not constitute
slavery he said the difference was in
| distinguishable.
Colonial Secretary Lyttleton, reply
ing, Indignantly repelled the allegation
that the government was faYoring
slavery. The government he assert
ed, had been guided by the overwhelm-
ing sentiment in the Transvaal in IA
vor of Chinese labor and the economic
necessity therefor. The ministry had
adopted the only alternative, to bridge
the transition period until the blacks
had increased sufficiently to fill the
demand for unskilled labor.
Maj. John Edward Seely, who hith-
erto has been a consistent supporter
of the government, said he believed
the Importation of Chinese labor would
render the Transvaal impossible as a
white mans country. He announced
that, therefore, he had to-day ten
dered his resignation to his constitu-
ents because he did not think 1t fair
that he should vote against the gov
ernment without giving his constitu-
ents an opportunity of turning him
out If they did not approve of his ac-
ton.
The conclusion of Maj. Seely's speech
was lost amid a tremendous demon
stration of disapproval from the min
isterial side.
Mr. Balfour, who followed Maj.
Seely was unable to secure a hear
ing, the Irish members protesting
against the treatment of the major.
William Redmond said that Mr.. Bal
four should have insisted upon re-
spectful hearing for Maj. Seely and
when the Premier said he had ap-
pealed for such a hearing, Mr.. Red
mond withdrew his opposition, and the
House quieted down again TO listen to
Mr.. Balfour who in opposing the res
olution, said 1t was a question whether
the Transvaal should be allowed to go
Through a grave commercial crisis
rather than admit Chinese labor. Lib
eral governments, he said, had in the
past legalized the importation OF such
labor for British colonies, and the op-
position was now reaping the benefit
Of the evils which their own party had
produced.
Chinese labor in the Transvaal was
also debated during the entire session
of the House of Lords this evening
on a motion of Lord Coleridge Glib
eraD that 1.-The House disapproves of
the importation Of Chinese laborers
into the Transvaal under the recent
ordinance until the country has been
granted a full representative govern
ment." The motion was rejected by
vote Of 81 to 25.

Mr.. Bartlett called Mr.. Bristow's at

BrlstoW report, as follows: The fore
gong cases to refer clerk hire in third
ana fourth class offices. A hundred
other similar cases could be cited. The
millions that have been appropriated
for that purpose during the last four
years have been used by Beavers

Mr.. McDermott asked about the
methods of investigation. Mr.. Bristow
said he did not suspect Heath's integ-
rity' but very soon became convinced
that Beavers was dishonest.
My judgment is" commented Mr..
McDermott, that your whole postal
system is rotten, and l think there are
instances in your department"
Mr.. McDermott then asked Mr.. Bris-

Women and the Theater.
From the London World.

Avowedly women are both directly
and indirectly the best friends of the
theatrical manager. If he can please
the feminine portion of his audiences
he is tolerably sure of success, for
when a woman likes a play she in
duces her men folk to go to 1t. This
being so, ought not women to be spe-
cially considered in all places of
entertainment? But 1t is pre-
cisely on the opposite lines that the
manager commonly proceeds. Men are
encouraged to push and squeeze past
and disturb and inconvenience ladies'
between the acts because smoking
rooms are provided for them in most
theaters; women, on the other hand,
are expostulated with and denounced
if they wear hats at a matinee.

Not Since JOhnson's Time.
The last impeachment proceedings
were those of Andrew johnson. Only
three federal judges have been i'm
peached. Judge Pickering Of New
Hampshire was impeached for giving
up the bark Eliza to her owner, with
out taking proper bond, after the bark
had been seized for smuggling, being
drunk and using profane language ON
the bench.
Judge Chase of Pennsylvania was i'm
peached for refusing to allow a lawyer
to address the court or the jury on a
question of law which he already had
decided.
Judge Peck of Missouri who was the
last judge impeached, was charged
with improperly striking the name of
lawyer from the roll of attorneys for
contempt. James Buchanan was one of
the managers on the part of the House
in this trial.
The proceedings against Judge
Swayne, if carried to the Senate, un-
doubtedly will delay for several weeks
the adjournment of the present session
of Congress. If the Senate decides
against Judge Swayne the penalty at
tached to the decision is the loss of his
judgeship.
Judge Swayne was appointed from
