“""I‘HE FIGHT ONv ROACH.
It May Result in Sensational Develop-
ments at This Session.
WASHINGTON, April 14.—'l‘here are indi-
cations that the present uneventful special
session of the senate may end with some
A hot fight is not
unlikely between the Republicans and the
Democrats. Both parties are beginning to
get irritable over the Roach affair. The
Democrats are a good deal worried over
the situation and do not know just the
best course to pursue. The leaders on that
side of the chamber are in frequent con-
sultation. and Senator Roach is called into
their conferences very Often. The Demo
crats are disposed to stand by Roach, but
yet are put in an embarrassing position
when it is openly charged that one of their
'number stole the funds of a bank while
cashier a dozen years ago, and that they
are unwilling to have the matter investi-
gated. The Republicans are pushing the
matter, and with a persistence indicative
of their intention to keep it before the
country and force the Democrats to go on
record as refusing to grant an investiga-
tion of the charges or else compel them to
assent to an investigation which might
have the effect of forcing Roach to resign
or else of lessening the esteem in which
the senate is held.
Much the most interesting part of this
rather quiet but none the less determined
fight between the two parties in the senate
has taken place behind the closed doors of
executive sessions, but the Republicans in
caucus yesterday evinced a purpose to in-
sist hereafter on these proceedings being
in public. Mr. Chandler, proposes to de-
liver a speech in open senate calling atten-
tion to the career of Senator Roach. It is
expected by the Republicans that in this
way they will compel a. discussion of the
subject. -
Senators Gorman, Brice, Gray and other
Democratic leaders also held a conference
yesterday to consider the next step to take
to checkmate the Republican plan. They
' refuse information as to their purpoSes in
the matter.

To Participate in the Naval Review.
0 WASHINGTON, April 14.-—-Notes from the
French and Italian ministers havelbeen
received stating that vessels from these
countries have started for Hampton Roads
to participate in the naval review. The
French vessels, in command of Admiral
De Libran, will arrive about the 18th and
and those of Italy a day or so before.
Chilton Will be Provided For.
WASHINGTON, April 14,—It is understood
that the removal of Chief Clerk Chilton
' of the state department does not involve
his retirement from the government ser-
vice. In some other position he will be
provided for, but whether that is to be at
home or abroad in a consulate has not yet
been decided.

HULL, ,April 14.—Exciting scenes were
enacted at the docks last night when a.

deal of disorder resulted. The attempt to

officer of the Boston, blew the notes of the
retreat from his bugle, and “Old Glory”
sank from the sight of the throng and was
replaced by the colors of the Hawaiian
monarchy, which still remains the flag of
the island.
On the afternoon of March 31 the com-
missioner held a lengthy conference with
President Dole and the ministry, at
which be notified them of his intention to
declare off the protectorate established by
Minister Stevens Feb. 1. It is understood

that he gave as his reason therefor that"
the Washington administration did not
regard the protectorate as necessary, and -
further that it was incompatible with any
diplomatic negotiations that might be ar-
ranged between the two countries. The
United Statea however, would brook no
hostile interference in Hawaiian aflairs
by any foreign power.
Conscious of their strength, in view of
the latter assurance, the provisional gov-
ernment somewhat reluctantly acquiesced
in the commissioner’s decision and prepared
to order out their forces to maintain the
peace which had continued almost un-
broken during the protectorate. At 9
o’clock on the morning of April 1, Presi-
dent Dole and the cabinet visited the bar-
racks and inspected the men under arms.
The hour for hauling down the American
flag had been fixed for 11 o’clock. As early
as 8 a. m., however, the streets had begun
to fill, and they were soon thronged. At
Palace square the jumble of native Chinese
Japanese, half—caste and Portuguese and
whites, on foot, on horseback and in car-
riages, waited to see the flag “that never
came down” come down.
On the faces of the American residents
were looks of chagrin, while broad grins
overspread the faces of many of the natives.
The majority of onlookers, however, main-
tained a stolid silence. Just before the
minute hand of the clock reached the hour
of 11 the regular troops of the provisional
government marched into the inclosure
before the government building. Follow-
ing them came the United States soldiers.
Inside the government yard were Presi-
dent Dole and the members of his cabinet,
Chief Justice Judd and other officials,
oflicers from naval vessels in the harbor,
prominent residents and representatives of
the press.
Lieutenant Draper stepped forth amid a
sudden hush of the throng and facing the
government building raised his bugle and
sounded the call in a clear and distinct
note. Drawn by unseen agencies the flags
sank from sight and a minute later the
Hawaiian emblem was hoisted to its place.
Scarce a. sound accompanied the trans-
formation. Some of the Mohican’s officers
as they turned away said while the with-
draWal of the flag might be the proper
thing in international law, they personally
felt as if “we had no right to be here” and
witness the act.
Captain Ziegler marched into the hall-
way of the building with a Gatling .._ gun
and field piece, and stationed them at the
various entrances. The other troops Were
marched to the barracks. Lieutenant
Draper and his squad of marines pro-
ceeded to Camp Boston where theyjoined
the battalion under Lieutenant Laird,
which, under orders from Admiral Sker—
rctt, evacuated the quarters which they
held so long.
Commissioner Blount remains much of
an American sphynx to the majority of the
people. He is a good questioner, but is not
ready at imparting information}. About
the only public knowledge had of him here
is contained in a letter of President Cleve-
land to President Dole, dated March 11, in
which Mr. Cleveland says: ,
“I- have made choice of James H. Blount,
one of our distinguished citizens, as my
special commissioner to visit the Hawaiian
islands and make a report to me concern-
ing the present status of affairs in that
country. My knowle dge of his high char-
ucter and ability gives me entire confi-
dence that he will use every endeavor to
advance the interests and prosperity of
both governments, and render himself ac-
ceptable to‘your excellency.” ,
[[I‘his sounded well, but to a divided peo-
ple, both sides of which may be considered
as waiting on his individual action before
shaping their course, something more was
expected of the commissioner. The Royal-
ists, in view of Blount’s first official act,
which was unaccompanied by any word of
explanation, are greatly encouraged.

One of the Hardest Worked and Least Ap-
preciated 'of Employees.—
It is doubtful if ~there is-a man on the
train who is less ‘appreciated than the
fireman. The public shakes "hands with
the conductor who has charge of the
train, thanks the brakeman for many lit-
tle courtesies, bows to the baggage mas.
ter who looks after its luggage intransit
—perhaps, if it is a masculine public,
swears at him—trusts its valuables with
the express messenger and talks. long and
loud of the “brave engineeu’ ’ but the
fireman—he who bends to his Work and
feeds the fire that makes the steam—is
never mentioned. ' Sometimes a purse is
made up for the engineer. No one ever
heard of the fireman getting apurse, but
the records show that he has performed
as many deeds of valor as the engineer.
Again, if the train leaves the track or
goes into another train, the fireman has
fewer chances to escape than any man
on the train, except perhaps the mail
clerk, shut up like a rat in a cage. ‘ fi
When the fireman is at work, and that
is nearly all the time when the wheels
are turning, he stands stooped over,
shoveling in the fuel or taking the coals
in the firebox. His view ahead is ob-
structed, and he cannot see the danger
that may be dashing upon him. The rat-
tle and roar of the machinery may drown
the engineer’s warning call—a crash—the
tender pins him to the boiler head, and he
dies a horrible death. Standing in the
narrow gangway peering ahead, a sudden
lurch around a curve may throw him off.
Instances have been known when the
coupling between the engine and the
tank parted, and the fireman dropped be-
tween them to be ground to pieces. The
records show that more firemen than en-
gineers are killed in railroad wrecks.
About the only time the firemen has a
little leisure is when the train is running,
down grade. Then “she is shut off,”
steam is saved, and the knight of the
shovel climbs up to a. cushion seat and
takes a breathing spell. But even then
one eye is. ahead, his hand on the bell-
cord and the other eye fastened on the
steam gauge, whose little black hands,
fluctuating back and forth, guage his
labor as well as the steam. There is a
sciencein “feeding” an engine that isnot
understood by one not in the business.
There ii a way to throw in the coal and
to empty the'shovel and close the fur-
nace door at the same "time. It requires
. nice calculation that tells how many
“scooplOads” are needed to send the
hands on the gauge to the proper figure;
deft handling to keep the deck of the
cab clean, and a hundred other little
things that go to make a skillful fire-
man—one that saves money for the com‘
pany by husbanding the ‘coaL
In the old days the fireman on “wood
burners” had a hard time of it and cer-
tainly earned the sinall money he re-
ceived for his services, but he had a sine-
cure compared with the man in blue
overalls and jumper who “stokes up”
one .of' the huge “moguls” or “hogs” of
the present day. _These engines haul
freights and eat up coal as if it were
greased paper. The fireman is at work
continuously, and about the only time
he has to rest is when histrain‘ “takes a
siding" to let a more aristocratic passen-
ger train pass—Indianapolis News.
The Telephone Fifty Years A39.
The first telephone that was ever used
was not electrical, nor was it a scientific
instrument in any sense Of the term. A
little more than 50 years ago the em-
ployees of a large manufactory beguiled
their leisure hours by kiteflying. Kites
large and small went up daily, and the
strife was to see who could get the lar-
gest. The twine which held them was
the thread spun and twisted by the ladies
of the village. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached a kitten sewed
in a canvas bag, with a netting over the
mouth to give it air. When the kite was
at its greatest height—200 feet or more
—the mowing could be distinctly heard
by those holding the string. To the clear-
ness of the atmosphere was attributed
the hearing of the kltten’s voice. This is
the first account we remember of speak-
ing along a line.——Shefiield Telegraph.
How to Take a Turkish Bath.
It is not unusual to hear complaints
that the Turkish bath has induced con-
siderable depression, or even exhaustion,
lasting perhaps several days, but the
cause of this is that proper precautions
have not been taken by the bather. The
baths must be adapted to the strength of
the patient. The bather should not stay
too long in the hot chamber, and the
bracing process should be applied only a
few seconds with water not very cold.
Twenty minutes is long enough for most
persons to remain in the hot chamber,
and a safe rule is to leave at the first
symptoms of faintness or fatigue—Ex-
change. -
Gladstone’s Perorations.
Perorations are Mr. Gladstone’s strong-
est point. He may confuse his audience
with figures, overwhelm them with
words, but when the time comes for him
to round ofl" his speech, and when his
voice, dropping in volume, takes on the
magnetic thrill that has helped to make
its owner a power in England, then the
audience mentally rises to meet the or-
ator, to the outgoing thrill comes back
an echoing answer of emotion, and the
great master of words sits down amid a
storm of applause—St. James Gazette.

A few minutes after the tornado struck
the town-fire broke out'in the debris of a
Chmese laundry, and the mass of wreck-
age caught fire and burned all night and
by_ the falling houses were burned to a
crisp.
Two clouds, one from the east and one
from the west, met over the town and then
began a rotary motion which tore up"
houses and snapped hugh trees like reeds.
The cyclone moved west from the Missis-
sippi river, a distance of seven miles, and
swept all before it. Mrs. Emma Lusk, wife
of the night operator, was in her house
with her husband and three children. The
husband got out, the woman was killed
and the three children were blown a hun-
dred yards through the air. They were
naked when found, but uninjured. Issac
Chapman was crushed under the ruins of
hishouse, with three other negroes whose
names are unknown. The body of an old
negress was found yesterday in an open
field. It is probable she was dropped there
by the wind.
The property loss in town will reach
$100,000. Thirteeen stores, six residences,
three churches and a hundred negro cabins
were destroyed.
The killed are: Mrs. Emma Lusk. wife
of the night operator; Rev. R. R. Shipp, of
Olive Branch, Miss; Isaac Chapman, Ben
Ray and mother, Annie Spaight, three
children of Manuel Murray, Jere Taylor's
infant, William \Varren, Maria Smith and
five unknown.
Probably a hundred negroes received
slight injuries, but none-of them will die.

of seven houses that were being built at
Seventy-seventh street and Duncan ave-

mained to be put in. The canvass that
had been placed over the window casings
was torn away, and the entire front of the
buildings was blown down.

through this parish Wednesday afternoon
between-3 and 4 o’clock, leaving destruc-
tion in its wake. The first damage re-
ported is from the lower end of the parish,
betweenWaterproof and Tensas river, on
the'Midway and Bombay plantations. Five
houses and the gin were blown to pieces.
On the Meor place one house was de-
stroyed. From there the course of the
storm was east-northeast, accompaned by
a heavy fall of hail stones, some as large
as eggs. Passing from Midway it un-
roofed the gin and dwelling on Oneonta
plantation, doing slight damage on the
Aubrey, Simoda and Ridgeland planta-
tions,but entirely demolishing eleven quar-
ters and killing one negro man and se-
verely injuring several women and child-
ren on the Osceola plantation. From there
it crossed the lake into Bellevue, blowing
down two houses, and recrossed the lake
into the St. Joseph country. From there
reports of great damage are made. All
places are not heard from yet.

Two travelers started on a’tour _
With trust and knowledge laden:
One was a man with mighty brain.
And one a gentle maiden. .
They joined their hands and vowed to be
Companions for a season.
The gentle maiden‘s name was Faith.
The mighty "Ian’s was Reason.
He sought all knowledge from this world.
And every world a-near it;
All matter and all mind were his.
But hers. was only spirit.
If any stare were missed from heaven. ,
His telescOpe could find them; ‘
But while he only found the stars
She found the God behind them. ;
He sought for truth above, below.
All hidden’things revealing:
She only sought it womanwise,
And found it in her feeling.
He said. “This earth’s a rolling ball.“
And so doth science prove it.
He but discovered that it moves,
She found the strings that move it.
He reads with geologic eye
The recOrd of the ages;
Unfolding strata~ he translates
Earth’s wonder written pages.
He digs around a mountr in base
And measures with a nummet;
She leaps it with a single bound
And stands upon the summit.
He brings to light the secret force
In nature’s labyrinth lurking
And binds it to his onward ear
To do his mighty working.
He sends his message o’er the earth
And down where sea gems glisten;
She sendeth hers to God himself,
Who bends his ear to listen.
All things in science. beauty. art,
In common they inherit; .
But he has only clasped the form. .
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth to forge a key
To ope the gate "iheaven!
That key is in the’maiden’s heart.

The First American Bible.
In 1663 the first Bible printed in Amen
ion was published in Cambridgé. It was
uniiwful to print an English version of:
the Scriptures, that right being a, ' o-
nopoly'enjoyed by privilege and pa nt
inEngland. The one printedin Massa-
chusetts was Eliot’s famousf‘Indian Bi-
ble,” and although 1,500 copies were
struck on they are quite rare, and
“sealed books,” as the tongue in which
they are. written is literally a "dead lan-
,” the tribe and all who had a
knowledge of the dialect being long ex-
ct.
Eliot’s work is unique, being at once a
monument to his piety, perseverance and
learning. Its literary successor was N ew-
man’s “Concordance of the Scriptures,"
This was compiled by the light of pine
knots in a log cabinin one of the frontier
Settlements of Massachusetts. It was
the first of its kind, and for more than a
century was admitted to be the most
perfect, holding its place in public es-
teem until supersed ed by Cruden’s, which
it suggested—Philadelphia Record.
Meaning of the Word “Either."
The legal meaning of the word “either"
has been gravely argued in an English
court of record. A certain testator had
left property, the disposition of which
was affected by the “death of either” of
two persons. One lawyer insisted that
“either” meant both, and in support of
his views he quoted Richardson, Web-
ster, Chaucer, Dryden, Southey, the
story of the crucifixion and a passage
from Revelation. The judge suggested
that there was a song in “The Beggar’s
Opera” which took another view, “How
happy I could be with either, were t’other
dear charmer away. ”
In pronouncing judgment the court
ruled that “either” meant one of two,
and did not mean both. He said that it
might have that meaning occasionallyin
poetry, but never in an English court of
record—Exchange.
An Unexplorable French Pit.
The wonderful pit of Creus de Souci .
in France is situated in a sheet of recent
basalt on the south side of the Puy do
Montchal. - The opening is 82 feet in di-
ameter . and 38 feet deep, but at that
depth a hole about 10 feet wide commu«
nicates with a hollow 70 feet deep, at
the bottom of which is a' stagnant p'ool
overladen with carbonic acid, which for-
bids access to the water surface. The-
interior is a vast hollow, apparently
formed in the basalt when Semifluid, by
an explosion of volcanic gas. The tem-
perature falls from 54 degrees Fahren-
heit in the open air to 34 degrees near
the water.—-Pittsburg Dispatch.
- . Odd Echoes.
In a cave in the Pantheon, the guide,
by striking the flaps of his coat, makes a
noise equal to that produced by firing a
124p'ound cannon. In the cave of Smelo
lin, near Viborg, Finland, 3. stone thrown
down a certain abyss makes a reverber-

Smuggling Mushrooms by Mail.‘
_ An odd kind of smuggling is the send-
ing of mushrooms by mail from Italy.
They are of a peculiar kind, dried and
are much relished by natives of that
country in the United States. They
comein small bags and are'easily distin-
guished by smell.-—Cor.' Boston Tran--
script.
The soil of the state of Colorado inthe
irrigable parts is largely of disintegrated
rock which is a perfect powder, highly
susceptible toany vegetation it comes in
contact with when heat and moisture
are sumcient to insure the absortion of

MURDERER HILL HINGE!)-
J'oseph Dodson’s Youthful Slayer Pays'
- the Penalty of His Grime.
CAMDEN, N. J., April 14.—John Hill, a
colored lad, was hanged in the county jail
this morning. There was apost mortem
examination of the body in the jail imc
mediately after the execution, and the re-
mains were interred at the county’s ex-
pense. Hill was an orphan, and none of
his relatives have interested themselves in
his case. Hill was only 19 years old, and
his victim was about the same age.
. The instrument of death used scored its
first victim in Hill. At the recent hang-
ing of Morton, Sherifi West was able to
secure the loan of the gallows so often
used in the Philadelphia county prison,
but so many demands for it have since
been made that it was decided by the
Moyamensing prison authorities not to '
loan, it any more. Sherifl West had a
gallows built on similar plans, and after it
is taken down will be stored in the base
ment of the county jail for further use.
The sheriff was assisted at the execution
by ex-Deputy Sheriff Joseph Parker, Dep-
uty Sheriff Sill and Constable Wissil.
The execution was witnessed by thirty-
nine persons, including a court jury of
twelve, alike number of special deputies,
six newspaper men, and the officials desig-
nated under the law.
The crime for which Hill was hanged
was the murder of Joseph Dodson, colored.
The crime was committed about 1 o’clock
on Sunday morning, Oct. 16, 1892, near a
colored “free and easy” saloon, at Seventh
and Sycamore streets, kept by Alfred Reed
and Morwood Derrickson. Hill was em«
ploycd by them as floor manager in their ' ‘
dance hall. . , '
Dodson frequented the saloon, and had
whipped Hill in a fight a few days before.
He threatened to get even, and on the
night of the murder lay in the bushes near
the saloon, and as Dodson came along on
his way home shot him in the head. . The
wounded man died a few hours later, and
Hill was captured the next day in the
neighborhood. a... .
