he went to his room and got on his knees before him, begging him to spare his wife and six children from disgrace, and to prevent his everlasting ruin. Mulllgan however, refused to give up the letters except under promise from MT. Blaine that he would upon his "honor as gen. tleman" return them to him. MT. Blaine took the letters and asked Mulligan what he intended to do with them Mulllgan told him that he intended to publish them if any one questioned his varacity or im- pugned his testimony. MT Blaine then refused to give up the letters. The in cident was published in the papers, and created the greatest excitement In Wash ington and throughout the whole country.
 Mr Blaine refused to give up the let ters when they were demanded of him by the Investigating committee. Instead, he rose to 8 question of personal priv ilc-e in the House, and made his famous speech in defense of himself. There he produced the bundle of letters. and de- clarng that he wanted 44000,00o of his countrymen to know what they con- tained, proceeded to read them.

most powerful factor in the shapinr of the laws.
 But there have been many instances where woman's influence has been felt In not one country, but in the whole world of politics.
 It has often been asked how much ,n- fuence the wife of q public man hears on his political career. This is hard to estimate; but this much Is certain. The man who comes to Washington eitber as a member of Congress or of sorna other branch of the government vbera hls position is one of prominence ia ver,, unfortunate if hls wife is not one vvbon, no can trust to making her way socia1l,, Not necessarily being a great social euc- cess, but capable of mingling with tba average woman at the National canitaI For In spite of the fact that a small nor. centage of society looks lenIentIv ,inon the married couple who are seldom see, in public together. the average sound American believes in the comradeshtn oP man and wife.
 1ut when VIC sum up this question op the influence of women in statecraft wa quote as exceptions cases such as ina Storer and the Townley affairs. and nass the Judgment that, on the whole the in. fluence of woman in statecraft is for good Being impulsive. she is apt to make rnis. takes. now and then which cause ina more logical males to laugh at her. but as rule she Is pretty sure of her foot Ing before she attempts to make tba jump across the political stream that di vides womankind from mankind.

DIVORCE EASY IN ABYssINlA.
Dissatisfied Parties at Roadside Court
 MenelIk and Ills Court.

From the Washington Post.
 Divorces in Abyssinia are scarcer and yet easier to obtain than anywhere else in the world, according to Frank R. Mowrer, consul-general of the United States at Addis Abeba. MT. Mowrer has just returned from the country of King Menelik and is filled with strange tales of that land.
 "As in every other kind of dispute in Abyssinia, when a man decides to get a divorce from his wife he calls a court by the roadside and has his case tried" said MT. Mowrer last night. "A man and a woman will be travelling. for instance. Perhaps they have lived together in con- 'nubial joy for many years but they agree to disagree. The man asks the first pas serby to become the judge Another is se- lected as his attorney and still another for the lawyer for the defense. Court is then held informally by the side of the public highway and a decision is rendered in accordance with the facts. If the di- vorce is granted the man and woman go their respective ways, parted probably forever
 'I had an English friend, an engineer, who heard one of these disputes at close range and offered himself as a judge just for the experience He wound up by fin- ing each of the parties 10 the suit costs amounting to s15 But neither had any money and he had to defray all the ex- penses of the trial himself
 Tt is long way to Meneliks country" continued the consul-general. After one has left the ship and journeyed by rail some 200 miles he still is compelled to travel twenty days over the mountains on mule back before he comes to the capital of Abyssinia And when he gets there he finds the king in a palace that is not as sumptuous as the meanest building I have seen in Washington. The king himself receives you with his legs drawn up un- der him and sitting on a raised dafs. His lips are thick and his nose is somewhat fiat like the average negro. Back of him stand more than hundred of his cour- tiers, men with spears and short skirts.
 'Menelik Is a strenuous and powerful sachem. Contrary to general supposition he has but one wife. He is her seventh husband. He gets up early and transacts a great deal of work in day. Crude

RECALL A PARALLEL IN
 THE HARTMAN LETTERS

From the New York Times.
 The Blaine -Mulligan incident was one of the most dramatic which ever took place in the National capitol. It was near the closing days of the Forty-fourth Congress. On the 9th day of June, 1S76 it was, that the continuation came. James G. Blaine, member of the Lower House of Congres, former speaker of that body, one of the ablest and most brilliant men of his time, and one of the most popular, was his party's idol with a clear path, 1t was thought, to the Presidency. On the floor of the House he arose to a formed that famous act for which he was dubbed by Robert Ingersoll the 'Plumed Knight" He had the letters, the noted "Mulligan letters," and he placed them in evidence himself. The House of Repre- sentatives was crowded. both floor and gallery. and so excited grew the members and the spectators that several times the speaker called in the services of the sergeant -at-arms and ordered him to clear the floor. For outsiders were on the floor. hundreds of men. Blaine sympa- thizers and friends of Proctor Knott, who led the opposition against Blaine. They had rushed by the doorkeepers and food ed the floor.
 In consequence of frequent charges in the newspapers of improper influence over certain members of Congress by ccrtain railroads, and especially of the faxrrs done the Pacific railroads by Coneress, through the speaker, while Elaine was in that position, the House passed a resolution at all, but it was

Victoria a Gretna Green.

From the Ottawa Citizen.
 It is probably not generally known that Canada for some time has had Gretna Green in the city of Victoria. For long time past young couples from the United States have been flying over to that city to get married when it was difficult to nave the knot tied at home.
 The city Is now in danger, however, or losing both it's reputation and custom, for the ministers themselves who up to now have reaped more or less of harvest by celebrating this sort of marriages, are be- ginning to realize that the thing Is being overdone through people who are utilizing the laws of British Columbia to get mar ried, when on the other side of the boun- dary line they would not be permitted to do so.
 The result is great deal of unpleasant ness for the clergymen and great deal of notoriety for Victoria, whith a great many private detectives continually run ming down clews. about marriages which are illegal in the United States.
 The ministers have petitioned the pro- vincial government to make the law strcter in that respect

evident to all, or almost all that the in vestigation was to be particularly directed toward him.
 Shortly after the committee began its investigation, Warren Fisher of Boston, who had had charge of the construc- ton of the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad for some New England capi- talists, was summoned to Washington to testify. It was known that Mir Fisher had the disposition of all the bonds anA stocks of the company, and it was also known that Congress had been asked to make certain land grants to this railroad, and that it made one while Mir. Blaine was speaker. Mir. Blaine had made a certain ruling which favored this railroad MT. Fishers com ing down to Washington to testify, therefore, created an air of expectancy, especially since 1t was rumored that he had broken with MT. Blaine.
 Now, along with MT. Fisher came a little Boston Irishman by the name of James Mulligan. Before the committee the next day Mulligan testified that Blaine, while speaker of the House, had acted as broker for Warren Fisher in disposing of the securities of the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad. He said that Blaine had sold to certain of his wealthy friends in Maine about s520, ,000 worth of these securities, for which he received 300 in bonds and stocks as commission. It was just prior to that that the Union Pacific railroad had got hold of something like s75,O00 of the se- curities of the Little Rock and Fort Smith. F.
 Mulligan one day was being prodded very closely by one of the members of the committee, Lawrence of Ohio, friend of Blaine. Wincing under the fire the little Irishman grew excited, and reaching into his pocket he pulled out a small packet of letters and other papers. Haunting this in the faces of his cross examiner and of MT. Blaine he exclaimed with heat: Here, I have the proof of every word I have said. These are Mir Blaines own letters telling about it'
 After the meeting was over, Mir. Blaine went to Mulligan and pesought him to give him the letters. Mulligan says that

DIPLOMATS IN PPETTIcoATs.
How Women's Affairs Have Influenced
 Men and Matters of State.

From the Home Magazine.
 The hand which in poesy Is supposed to be rocking the cradle has in times past been given to rocking bigger things. Fem mine hands have touched the wheel of the national craft and caused it to veer for the moment while pilot and crew ind their usefulness and capacity for skllful management seriously brought in ques- ton. History repeats itself in every way and Woman's influence in statecraft Is 8 force with which potentates and princes are familiar, and in our own republic It's power singly and collective, has been his- tory-making. fn
 It was Napoleon who remarked that Sometimes two great powers are on the point of destroying each other merely because two silly jades have quarreled.' v And Napoleon's views were shared by the late Prince Bismarck, who condemned in unmeasured terms "petticoat activity declaring that the results were usually disastrous In fact he claimed that the political intrigues of women had been source of more trouble to him than any thing else throughout his long career as ambassador foreign minister, and chan cellor of the German Empire.
 The old-time, intriguing woman lobby- ist Is scarcely ever seen in the lobbies of the capital She has fled to the cover
 
 of a finely appointed house and gains h-S point through wining and dining the men whose influence she would secure. Now and then she herself may be dined Tn the committee rooms of the capitol, where sumptuous little luncheons are served by the restaurant in the building but throughout all her maneuvers she plays the gracious lady. Unlike the club wo- man, she wants something for her hus- band, her father, her brother, or her sweetheart, and. more often than not she succeeds in getting 1t.
 But the club women who come before Congress with their petitions, sometimes signed by thousands, fight fair and square. They make their desires almost a demand. and when one considers how much theJ have done to banish the canteen from the army, gain the passage of the pure food law, restrict child labor, and to all most run the Mormon church out of Con- gross. he canont but own that she is
