Political circles of New York hear
that Ex-Governor Frank S. Black,
in addition to being asked by the
republican party leaders to accept

looked upon as being anchored fast

the last year 35, 900 acres OF land in
Maryland not far from Washington,
have been sold to immigrants,
mostly from the northwestern

bringing with them 100000.
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha

affection from Roosevelt west of

The Fifty eighth congress resumed
its session on January 4th at noon
Not more than half the members

for the appropriation bills to be re-
ported from committees, and re-

a tiresome discussion. Senator

probable that not much will be

of votes required in the electoral
college for success. is one more than
half of the whole-that is, 1884,
The South may be counted for $50
votes; New York will have 80,
Connecticut, Z, and New Jersey 10
total, So, which, with the South,
makes 208 votes altogether. Any
partisan revolution which would
give those three states to the Dem
ocrats would very likely give them
also Delaware and Maryland, with
their II votes, making 219 votes for
the democratic candidate votes
short of the number required. If it
even gave him West Virginia, with
her 7 votes, he would still be behind,
and must carry some large Western
state in order to succeed. Have the
democrats a man in their party who
can win all those states? There
may be blind partisans who think
so, but the ides of November will
undeceive them.
General Reyes, the Colombian
minister at Washington, is piping
his protest more feebly. He still
demonstrates; but he says that Col
ombia can salve her wounded honor
with greenbacks, that if she cannot
have Panama as part of her terri
tory, she ought to be paid damages
for the injury inflicted and submits
the case to the arbitration of the
Hague court If it is true that he
shows this amiable disposition, and
is amenable to the DEGREES of fate,
congress may restore peace and
harmony by reasonable appropri-
alton.
The mileage scandel, in which
both parties are equally involved,
comes up again in a humiliating
shape. The regular session of
congress followed the extra ses-
sion SO closely that there we're but a
few minutes intermission, yet the
members, with few exceptions,
drew the entire mileage of twenty
cents mile for journeys that were
never made Ordinary travel costs
about two cents mile by rail.
But not only have congressman
drawn pay for journeys never made
in whole or in part, but they have
very generally travelled on passes
issued to them by railroads concern
ing which they are often called up
on to legislate. This is national
disgrace and national grief, and
it is high time that a crusade was
begun similar in fervency to that
against the franking abuses and
Creit Mobilier which sent so many
statesmen into oblivion.

both sides of the senate, and was
regarded by the republicans as a
very strong document. The presi-
dent claimed that he had acted
within a reasonable time; that con-
gress had marked out the route of
the canal from Panama to Colon
and that as he had secured that
route it was needless to consider
Nicaragua. He averred that Co.
lombia had the power to ratify the
Hay-Herron treaty which was more
than generous to Colombia; and
tn at it was notorious for long
time, as shown by extracts from
the public press, that a revolution
was pending in Panama provided
the treaty failed. In view Of this
state of affairs he ordered war ships
to the isthmus to protect American
citizens and property. Dispatches
from Commander Hubbard were
forth showing the condition exist
ing and the action he took to pre-
vent hostilities on the part of Co.
lombia. The president had no doubt
the treaty would be ratified and
that congress would stand by the
new republic.
This session of congress will wit
ness another strenuous effort of
the territories to get their promised
statehood. The house committee
evinced willingness to let in Ariz-

and Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as another. This compulsory

The popularity OF the we'll known legitl-

people OF Providence was again demon
strated last night when an audience that
taxed the capacity OF the Empire theatre
assembled TO witness his production OF the
strong weird dramatic version Of Steven

IL reckoned a notable one.
II is certainly an impressive perform
ance. for Mr.. Shea Is nothing IL not IN
earnest, and his strong portrayal OF the
two natures OF the good doctor and the
uncanny Hyde left deep impression on
the audience last night. The actor kept
within the picture all the time. shifting
from the impersonation OF the deep think

form. face and outward characteristics OF
the apish little degenerate who gloated
over the harm he wrought with a glee
