10 his address after bis election last

The police and police justice of Rich
mond and all who heard the testimony
Of George Wade in the police court yes.
.erday are puzzled over the motive Of
tie young man, who attempted the life Of
Rev. Dr. James Buchanan Saturday.
He declared he tried to kill DR.. Blu
hanan aud declared that all such places
as the Associated Charities lone, of
which he was long one ~ the bene-
fciaries, should be broken up. He ex-
pressed regret that he did not have
money enough to buy better pistol, so
that he could have shot truer and often
err. He said he bought the'pistol from a
pawnshop for % cents, and it had only
one load in it. He declared that he had
as much right to all the comforts Of the
home as DR.. Buchanan. and that the
superintendent was there only to make
money.
DR.. Buchanan testified that he took
Wade in, sheltered and fed him and Sc
cured him work, but the latter part Wade
would not fulfill. Wade was sent on to
the grand jury.
While the young man was giving vent
to his bitterness Of spirit against the
1eighborhOod house and It's manager,

shouted in approval Good % In trice

him before the bar, where he was fined
$40, and in default went to the prisoners
pen. The young man was Ernest Wells,

DESPITE the efforts to the contrary by
Mr.. Wickham, chairman of the State
Senate finance committee, that body yes
terday voted to increase the pay OF the
members Ct the State legislature more
than double. Mr.. Wickham strenuously
opposed the bill, declaring that he would
consent TO an increase of the salary from
81 to So per day, but would continue,
though he knew the house was against
him, n register his protest against
doubling of the pay. Judge Phlegar
also warned the Senate that the general
assembly had raised many salaries and
expended large sum Of money, and
that now to put some of it in the pockets
of the men doing the voting would be
embArking upon policy of extrava-
gancc, Tor which not only the iudivid-
duals. but the democratic party itself,
would be answerable to the people.
These warnings were all in vain to The
men who "needed the money" and the
Senate passed the bill.

The INVESTIGATION of the mysterious
circumstances in connection with the
murder of George R. Curtin early ID the
morning of the oath of December isst
was resumed in the Police Court this
morning. Forty nine witnesses had
been summoned, number of whom are
women. The evidence when the Ga
zelie's report closed was substantially
the same rs that obtained month ago
1t is rumored, however, that the prosecu-
ton is keeping back star witnesses for
the closing stages of the examination.
This is inferred from the nature OF some
of the questions propounded to witnesses.
The parties summoned are segregated
without the court room and but one at a
time is allowed to enter; hence they can
have no opportunity to listen to the
evidence of one another and some OF the
testimony is therefore conflicting. The
"mau wearing light coat is again
figuring in the testimony, but none of
the witnesses, so far, has been able TO
identify this strange individual.

THE Chinese government is naturally

Mr.. Hale sharply criticised the general
staff OF the army for its alleged behavior
that is resulting in dangerous friction
and excitement in China, which, he
broadly intimated, may plunge this
country into bloody war With the Celes-
tiaI Empire. Mr.. Hale declared that
ihe general staff had prepared plans for

China by an American army would be a
declaration of war while Congress was
in session, and without the legislative

SENATE.

Mr.. Foraker asked immediate consid-
Grafton of q resolution authorizing the
President to invite Great Britain TO join
in the appointment of an international
commission having for its object the
preservation OF the natural beauties of
Niagara Falls. II carried an appropris-
ton of 500, 900.
Mr.. Teller said he thought that the
question was one with which New York
state should deal. He objected, and the
resolution went over.
Senator Scott, of w. Va, in a speech
this afternoon declared that he wss ab-
solutely and unequivocslly opposed to
giving to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the power 20 fix contested
rate without provision in the act for
broad and general court review.
BY this attitude he arrsyed himself
against the administrations policy. lie
took the position that rate regulation
was form of governmental ownership
"While the two propositions may diner
somewhat" he explained, ''it is dit-
ference 10 degree and not in quslity.'
He bowed, he said to the pressing de-
mand for regulation, but he would have
it restricted. Speaking from an ex-
perience of 80 years as shipper, and
fortified by knowledge OF the railroad
situation in foreign countries, he de-
clared that governments cannot make
rates that will meet the needs of expand.
ing trade aud industry. The Senator
said that he wanted Legislation that
would force railroads to make connection
with lateral roads ''and thus give to all
free and unrestricted transportation to
all markets"
Mr.. Scott was followed in the rail
way rate discussion by Mr.. Clapp who
stands with Mr. Doliyer as fiat footed

Threatened Strike of Telegraphers.


The telegraphers and station agents of the
Southern Railway Company may be on a
strike before Friday if the officials do not
agree upon the wage scale presented by the
,slsorarhersj Un;on This 10 tbe nIf;mat,,,,
announced from official quarters last evening.
Negotiations regarding the wage scale have
been pending since December. The dilatOr-
ness Of the officials Of the company is giving
the telegraphers a definite answer to their de-
mands has resulted in II. B. Perham, presi-
dent of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers Of
the United States and Canada. coming TO
Washington to direct the movements Of the
union.
In au official statement Mr.. Perham last
night outlined the grievances Of the operators
and agents as follows:
I'VE are demanding minimum scale for
operators and agents of $50 a month and a
maximum of $s5. The scale in effect at pres
ent fixes the minimum wage Of operators at
$50 and agents at SIS month.
The committee of fifteen representing the
operators have had repeated conferences with
General Manager II. b. Spencer and Gen.
SuIt. McManus. Of the Southern Railway.
Thus far the officials have treated the repre-
sentatives Of the union fairly and cOurteously.
although they have persistently evaded the
issue.
"While do not desire to say anything TO
break of negotiations or TO create any i'll
feeling between the officials of the Southern
and the operators, still will state emphati-
cally that unless the wage scale submitted is
not accepted by Friday, 1885 telegraph oper-
atois and agents OF the ,573 employed by the
Southern Railway will be called out"
