shoos were polished and his underclothing clean there was not a particle of blood on the clothing Jt Is a Mysterious Affair There were no signs of a scuffle and there if not a doubt in the mind of

their slim ma in the aeAl house of representatives If the next congress into ses sion forthwith the Republicans would hav a majority of three This is large and it disappears almost entirely when th question of a quorum is raised There ar 825 members of the house and it requires members to constitute a quorum As the Re- publicans have 104 altogether the absent of two members would place them mercy of the minority if the minority choos to obstruct business by not voting Th journal could not be adopted if the point o no quorum was raised provided the did not vote Ail the resources of the party could no keep a quorum in the house fifteen minutes if one was secured and the doors not locket The most careless observer of legislative pro can sco that the Republican mn is not a majority at all except fo such a momentous purpose as electing speaker when the attendance of every mem bercan be secured As for more than accomplishing the mere work o organization it would be out of the question fact that a working majority in th face of opposition from the minority dofe not exist is obvious The suggestion fore comes that it is policy to wait unti the congressmen from the neV states appear with their certificates and the Republican majority is swelled to six The tion is that when the membership of th house is increased to 380 by the admission o the five new congressmen yet to be elected four will be added to the Republican ant one Democratic column making the relative strength of the two in the house of representatives 168 Republicans to 162 Democrats A little figuring will show that tion will not be bettered much even with this increased Republican majority W ith i membership of 830 it will require 160 to con a quorum Assuming that the mi for obstructive pui poses decline to vote the Republicans will be compelled to produce members out of a total of 108 Three absentees on the side of the majority places it hopelessly at the mercy of the mi aud all tho changes in the rules that can be regularly made will not affect the constitutional requirement as regards a quorum Can a quorum be produced with a iall majority in the event of the minority It cannot be done six times in six months In the last congress the Democrats hud some iu that direction Their ity over tho Republicans and Independents combined was eleven One of the ents acted uniformly with the Democrats and practically their majority was increased to that extent Yet on the most it was an awful task to get a rum the Republicans refused to vote On several occasions the Democrats had to filibuster to prevent from outvoting them and this with absentees paired The neglectful and quent members who hang around committee rooms when they ought to be on the floor are hanging over the restaurant ar when roll calls are in progress are the lorror of party leaders A casein point is furnished by the Thoebe contest Mr Carlisle bad been elected speaker his seat was contested There was no higher duty to the de- manded of the Democratic the Fiftieth congress than to sco that their was fully supported in the Notwithstanding the importance of the issue rom a party standpoint when the vote was aken there were enough Democratic absent to have unseated Speaker isle Aa it was a large number of Republicans voted with the Democrats but the absentees had no assurances such would be the One of the absentees was a New York who was dly telegraphed to make his appearance were plenty of trains to enable him to et to Washington without losing much Ime When too late to get here he tele- graphed he was detained by an ant law case It afterwards turned out that le was trying to get remitted a fine of on one of his constituents for Illegal liquor selling Most party men would have preferred to lave paid the amount rather tharo risk the delinquency Yet this member ook the chances rather than to take the rouble to come to Washington The above is a sample of Democratic ex- fn the coming

Mystery as to How They Toss the Fo bidden Portal Fully Explained NEW YORK Sept increasing num ber of Chinese in New York city is a mutte of speculation which has had no solution The colony augmented mysterious ly and steadily but no information as to th manner of additions could be gained There are over three strange Chinamen in New York aliens were iu some manner or other smuggle into this port was evident but tho manner i which it was accomplished remained unsolved until a reporter investigated the matter A Smuggling Business It now develops that a regular business is carried on by certain in the Cuban fruit trade and with the connivance of tho government of the for as the consul general to Cuba says near ly all the Chinamen in Cuba are naturally citizens and as such could not be from visiting this country The story tol below is from reliable sources the person being prominently with the frui trade but for the reason that it might mil tato against their business interests to hav it known that they furnished this their names are withheld Citizens of Cuba Assisting Citizens of Cuba with the certain officials of the Spanish in that island are aiding Chinamen to evad the United restriction act and ar landing hundreds of them at this port said a well known Fulton marke fruit dealer to a reporter The way It Is Done There is a certain steamship company in this city owning or controlling nine steamers that ply between New York and Cuban he continued On each of those vessels there is a Chinese interpreter Hi name does not appear on the pay roll of the company's employes nor on the roster of the ship he sails on It is his duly to receive am care for the Chinamen who embark at Cuban ports and to see that they pass the custom officers and are safely landed here He is not paid by the company but re- certain perquisites the evident object of this arrangement being to enable the company to claim with an appearance o: justice that it is not for the in acts as he is not in its employ but simply a passenger on its boats Safe In Mott Street Now as to the manner in which those Chinamen are to pass the States customs Each Chinaman leaving China for the port of New York is provided with a Spanish passport in which lie is represented to be a traveler desirous to sojourn for a brief period in the place named as his destination This passport secures him privilege of landing Once he seta foot on the steamship company's pier here ho is safe His passport has served its purpose and is destroyed and the Chinaman joins his fellow countrymen in Mott street ANTWERP'S

and the forts of the firemen and the troops to pre- vent their spread have been successful The ruins of the burned buildings are still too hot to admit of much effective work toward re- covering the

An Alleged of Feeling In to the London Strikers LONDON Sept opinion which had boon almost a unit in sympathy with the strikers in their struggle against the dock companies has experienced a revulsion which cannot fail to have an influence upon the ultimate result of their fight The tion of Messrs Euros and Tillett the leaders of tho men in signifying their approval of a proposition for a compromise made by dinal Manning and the Lord Mayor and then when the proposal had been accepted by the dock managers de- repudiating it is almost where condemned Tho lord mayor asserts that Burns unquestionably accepted the com- promise proposed and says that now that the men have rejected it he washes his hands of the whole business Hints are not wanting that the leaders of the men have of own to compass which are to be furthered only by a continuance of the and that thoy do not hesitate for purely selfish considerations to sacrifice the best interests of their willing dupes Burns himself denies that be ever accepted the terms proposed and insists that the mpn are certain to bring the dock managers to their senses ana that Thursday will sco a complete victory for the men He says that the strikers excellent reasons for ing the compromise by virtue of which the increased pay for which contended was to be deferred until Jan 1 next The dock managers he says were willing enough to end their troubles in this way as this would give them over three months in which to prepare for the change and long before the end of that time they could have ousted every man concerned in tho agreement and filled the places of the men with others who would be perfectly willing to any terms offered them The men he says are not to be caught by this sort of chaff They are well aware that they hold the whip they will not consent to yield their advantages for a deferred ad- vance of wages the fruits of which they are never likely to reap TRAINS WRECKED One Man was Killed and Another
