In the Event of a. Promotion Over-taking Bis Oblleague ingalls Thinks the People of Kansas \Vill “'ant ' Him in the Senate Again. \VASEINGTGX, Feb. 7'.—Scnator Ingalls’ speech, in which he explained his position regarding the cloture resolution and the elections bill, will not be his last in the senate. lie is preparing a long speech, which he. intends to deliver just before congress adjonrns. It will take a wide range, but just how he will work it into the proceedings of the senate is not known. It is not. likely that any bill will be before the senate of a nature to afford in itself a .good subject for the Kansas orator. How- ever. it will be a speech that will keep peo— ple'talking for a time, and also one that is calculated to aid the senator in whatever new career he selects. Why He Couldn’t Lecture. Even those most intimate with Senator Ingalls are unable to understand whether or not he is badly disappointed over :his defeat. He said to the very last that he was sure of a re—election. but most rof his acquaintances think that that ‘was' only a pretense, Before he left for Kansas, just previous to the election of a senator, afriend of his here was instructed by Maj. Pond to call upon the senator and try to secure a contract with him for a «course of lectures. He presented the sub- ject to the senator, who replied, “My dear fellow, I will be so much occupied during 'the next six years by my duties as aUnited States senator that I would not possibly have time to lecture.” ' ' His Eye on Plumb’s Seat. Senator Ingalls thinks that he will yet have a brilliant political future. He is of the opinion that the people of Kan- sas will want him back in the senate. He knows that they are very proud of his oratorical and intellectual, qualities, and that they have lost sight of them for the time being: Senator Plumb wants to run for president or vice president, or else to securea cabinet position, and in case his hopes are realized Ingalls feels confident that he will succeed Plumb. Plumb’s Rash Act. Senator Plumb did rather a daring thing last night, in view of the defeat of Ingalls and the success of the Farmers’ Alliance movement in his state. That was in inviting his Republican colleagues as his guests to hold their caucus at the swell Metropoli- tan club, of which it was not generally known that the senator was a. member. The. Kansas farmers do not believe that their public servants should belong to swell clubs, aswas demonstrated in the med Congressman Anderson, of Kansas. Anderson was elected as the farmers’ friend, and was greatly beloved by them until word reached them that the con- gressman was a member of the Metropoli- tan club. This was too much, and Mr. Anderson was not re-elected. Senator Stewart’s Threat. It is not believed that Senator Stewart’s threat to attach the silver bill to the pen- sion appropriation bill as an amendment will be ’carried out. As was stated in these columns a short time ago, it was and is the intention of the silver senators as a last resort to attach the silver bill to the legislative bill. If in that case the presi- dent vetoed it he would have to go with- out his salary for a. whole year or be com- pelled to call an extra session of congress. Now that little Judge McCarthy, of New York, has left congress the smallest man in that body is Gen, Wheeler. This once famous Confederate cavalry commander is the light weight of the house. The Postal Telegraph Bill Killed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—-The house com- mittee on postotfices and post roads, Fri- day, tabled the government postal tele— graph bill by a vote of 6 to 5. A Sensational Elopement. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 7,—Harold Cham- bers, a young married man, employed as clerk by the Great Northern Railway com- pany at St. Paul, has created a big sensa- tion by elopiug with Mrs. E. A. White. Mrs. \Vhite is a very wealthy and hand— some woman of 36, but she looks much younger and dresses elegantly. Chambers’ young wife and two children are destitute. BRIEF MENTION. By a vote of 44 to 42 resolution for com- ‘mending Senator \Vashburn for opposition to the Lodge election bill was defeated in the Min uesota legislature. Governor Campbell, of Ohio, says he is willing: to accept a renomination, and ex- pects Maj. McKinley to be hisopponent in the field. George T. McCormick, of New YOrk, and Peter Shoenbcrger McCormick and Sophie McCormick, of Philadelphia, have suedthe estate of their uncle, the late John H. Shoenberger, who died in New York, to re cover 94,000,000 alleged to be due from the deceased, who was trustee of his father’s estate. ‘ But little progress is being made in pumping out the Jeanesville mine. As soon’as some bodies are recovered the cor- oner will begin an investigation. A legis- lative committee of inquiry is talked of. A Canadian paper states that Sir John Macdonald has been reprimanded by the British government for making public the text of his reciprocity proposal to the United States. Miss Grace Gridley, of Amboy, Ills, has awaken ed from a trance that lasted a year, during which time she ‘took only liquid food. She says she was conscious, but un- able to make the fact known. The house committee on foreign affairs ' reported a resolution expressing sympathy with the Hebrews in Russia, and asking the czar to ameliorate the harsh treatment of them by. his government.

There is considerable unauthorized and unwarranted talk on the streets, and especially among firemen, concern- ing the “deadlock” in the borough board onthe matter of appointing a superintendent of 'the fire alarm sys- tem. It has been reported that if the court attempts to force Chief Prowitt to appoint Charles Riley, he will resign the Office Of Chief. On the other hand it has been stated that Chief Prowitt will disregard the recommendation of the court to appoint Mr. Riley and will again send in the name of Mr. John H. Hoyt, and will continue to make the same nomination as often as the court refuses to confirm it. All such asser- tions are simply random speculations on the partof an uninformed public. Chief Prowitt informs the GAZETTE that he has not yet received an Official notification Of the court’s action, and until he does he will formulate no plans for his next steps. He says, however, that the speculation as to his resigning is all bosh; that he was unanimously elected Chief Engineer by the fire dc- partment, and he shall stand by the fire department in that capacity, just as long as they desire it. The rejec- tion of his nominee by the borough court will have no influence in induc- ing him to resign. He considers that Mr. Hoyt is per- fectly capable of keeping the fire alarm in «order, and has done so as well as anybody could have done. There have been Instances here, as everywhere else, when some unavoidable disar- rangement of the machinery interfered with the correct working of the system in someplaces. This is inevitable where two different mechanisms of boxes are joined in one system, as has been the experience wherever such a combina- tion has been used.

MILTON AND DOLLIE difficulties experienced on our system which the Chief considered serious enough to warrant the employment of g the most expert electricians to be: found, for their remedy. Such experts have hunted the system all over and been unable to find the source 0 trouble. Subsequently it was located by Mr. Hoyt, and efi'ectivelyremedied. Mr. Prowitt has never questioned the ability of Mr. Riley, as an electri- cian. On the contrary, he places a high estimate upon his capability, and he would willingly have appointed him superintendent at the first if the court had signified at the beginning, their preference for him. They bade. month in which to make their choice known to the Chief, before any appointment was sent in, and to their failure to make such recommendation may be ascribed the present condition of affairs. The Chief, having made his appointment in the absence of any indication of a pre- ference on the part of the burgesses, might naturally be expected to feel like fighting when that appointment is rejected and a tardy recommendation is made. In the meantime nobody but the Chief knows just what he will do when he receives official notification of the rejection of his appointment, and street talk, one wayor the other, is mere idle, Speculative gossip. MW. . ——. .--— The Etna Life The forty'first annual statement of the JEtna Life Insurence Company of Hartford, Conn, appears in to-day’s is- sue, and is a particularly strong finan- cial report. The IEtna’s assets now reach nearly $36,000,000, and its surplus foots up $5,858,795.71. It has made a large gain in its new business, in its in— suranue in force, in the number of its patrons, in intrest receipts, in premium receipts, in surplus, and in assets, yet its expences have been comparatively less than in the year 1879. The Etna issued last year 10,552 policies, covering 21,206,702 insurance. a larger new bus- iness than 'any other company located in the New England States. The JEtna management and its patrons can be con- gratulated upon its grand exhibit. The new department of accident business was inaugurated on the let instant, and bids fair to be a great success. ‘0 LET—Furnished rooms for one or two gents. Reasonable rent.

Many of our best styles are confined to us by the makers, and our rightly-made garments are quite abreast of custom work in fit and finish. Our prices are high enough to jus- tify excellence of cloth and taIloring. ,- For years we sold a superior domestic Waukenphast Shoe for seven dollars.
