HE SAVED ROCKWELL Hill's Boasted Phrase: 7 "I am a Demo- crat," set Fortn Amply ; COMMENTS ON THE HOUSE CONTEST. Democrats Devide on Questions of Ex pediency and Policy. SENATOR HILL'S MXDDLESOMXHE8S Leaders Who Will Not Kecognlxe Him . to be , the Messiah Party " Hatreds, etc. .. Washington, April 25. All the talk yesterday in places where partizans most do congregate about tbe Capitol city, was the actiou of the house, in seating Rockwell, dem., after twelve out of fifteen members of a democratic com mittee had decided that he had no right to the seat. The interference of Senator Hill in the matter called down upon him many satirical reproaches. He saved Rockwell, that is true, said a prominent New Yorker, and a democrat, "But," he continued, "it was done" more' for the purpose of saying Hill, later on."; Then he told of Hill's experiences' in 1886, in. Brooklyn when he went into the interior and boastfully declared : . "I am a Democrat!" When the country man dined with his city acquaintance at the restaurant, and the latter ordered ox-tail soup:- ?Wal, won," said the countryman, "ain't that goinl a good ways "back for soup?" When you re MfcnlMi ifaiit" Hiil's ' boast of 1886. "I" am a Democrat !" was uttered for the express purpose of arousing the hostil ity of unscrupulous and impatient spoils men against the first National Demo cratic administration in 24 years, evi dently you need to go "a good ways back'? for proof of Hill's genuine Dem ocracy, unless we accept his mere asser tion as evidence.. "The Daw's not counted a religious bird, because he keeps a-cawing from the' steeple;" and ii view of Hill's equivocating utterances and vicious methods, -he might repeat, "I am a Democrat !" from now till doomsday, and get the affidavit of his followers to confirm it, and he wouldn't persuade any more sensible people to believe him than the colored crank in Georgia last year persuaded people to believe that, she was the new Messiah, because she put a keroeene lantern on her head for a halo, and declared, "Suah's yo' bohn,I'sedesecon'comin'. " '- Taking; the Proper Step. ' Pabis, April 25. The aspect of affairs for the anarchists on May day, is not so promising. The threat of the police to strike on Saturday, unless their wages were increased,' not only set the anarch ists in high glee, but has aroused the au thorities to a sense of the situation, and there is a strong feeling in favor of an in vestigation into some certain incidents of recent occurrence, that the responsi bility of the '.police may be ascertained, in case that troubles are permitted on May day, Against the irresponsible an archist there is no insurance, unless it be the insurance furnished by his insig nificance and .poverty. A president, or one. in authority to punish lawlessness, is always a target for the anarchist, and there f s no adequate defense against him and his organized scheme of destruction. This being true, it has been decided in future to adopt measures of strict urgen cy, and to be more vigilant by locking up any persons who may have made murderous threats. y 'A. Hard Political Job. . New. Yoek, April 25. Referring to the proposed part which White aw Reid is expected to take in the coming presi dential contest, to earn the position of -minister to England,' the ; Tribune , says. it is not the national , campaign,, but the State of New York, which needs bis aid. Mr. Gorman, . who ran the democratic presidential campaign In 1884, Mr. Brice, who ran it in 1888; and r Mr. Quay, who ran the Republican campaign in the lat teryear, have, all , been 'interviewed on the ' Bubje6t; of' assuming' a' like- task again,'' and they all say,' as with' one voice, that once is enough, that no man can in reason be asked to go through such labor, such strain, such excitement, such hopes and . fears, a second, time. Any man who has ever had charge of an important political campaign in a single state, or county, or even city, and who stops to thick what such a campaign for the whole country." must mean, will say that Messrs. Gorman,. Brice, and Quay are quite right about it. There is a limit to human endurance, and a reason able doubt may be raised as to whether any man will be able to handle the present sort of political organization even through one presidential campaign after a few years moreof such growth as the country has lately been having. Sunday's Wind Storm. Portland, April 25. Yesterday was perhaps the worst April day for wind and rain ever known in Oregon. Belated winds are now trying to catch up, and they are obliged to concentrate the moderate action of a good many days into unwonted energy for a great period. Line repairers north, south, east and west, had a busy time and all night job repairing the wires. Some damage-was done in Oregon City. A Noted Blackmailer. . Tacoma, April 24. Former residents of Portland believe Mrs. Radloff and her sister, Mrs. Wright, who figure in the Seattle insurance scandal, were former residents of Second street, between Col umbia and Jefferson streets, Portland. Both are adventuresses. The latter ex torted $4,000 from a Portland capitalist by blackmail four years ago. Stockmen Ashamed of Them. Douglas, Wyo., April .25. The gang of hirelings sent into the interior to drive out settlers in the interest of cattle kings who want the earth, and about whom so much has been written, reached here safely yesterday in charge of the 27th Infantry. The demonstatfon which they expected did not occur. They are a. bard-looking set and the etockmep seemed ashamed of them: The -party was escorted to the fort and will be con fined in the guard-bouse. "- A Buffalo is Satisfied. . Buffalo, N. Y., April 25. The Cour ier commenting upon the course of Rep. Holman, renominated for congress, says :' "The people have tired of . the cranks whose mania for spending. therjublip uiuiiey gave ub ui luminous record OX the Billion Congress." . "But, after all," in another editorial, it says: "Buffalo is well satisfied with the two and a half million limit for her new fed eral building. From pur 'point of view the figures have a large and satisfying sight and sound, for a sum so moderate congress should pass. Buffalo's modest little bill without delay or. cavil," and thus continue the good work of a billion dollar congress, adds the Express. x Hidden Hoards In Odd Places. Oneoxta, N. Y., April 25. Mrs. Esther Crasper of the hamlet of War nersville, died in January of the grip, aged 101 years. She had lived on the farm for more than 60 years, in company with her son David and her daughter Harriet. The three were industrious and parsimonious, and were supposed, to have saved money; The mother kept the family cash. - A few days ago the daughter died, leaving David, now an old man, the eole survivor. . He knew nothing of the. whereabouts of the fam family treasures except that the' mother was accustomed to secrete it' in out of the way places.' Friends volunteered to aid old David to search. The quest has already been rewarded by finding $1,000 in greenbacks hidden away behind a cupboard, and $400 in gold and $200 in silver stowed away in a bole in the cel lar wall. It is not doubted that further search will reveal other hoards. - . ,. . Free Coinage Movement. 5 Washington, April 24. Senators Tel ler, Morgan, Daniel and Sanders, are said to have taken an active part during Ahe past week in the secret proceedings of the national silver committee, which has been in session in this city. Twenty states were represented, and it has been said that the meeting was of more than ordinary importance. Friends of Sena tor Teller maintain that he will accept the nomination upon a strictly financial platform, provided the great -parties nominate men unfriendly to free coin age. A gentleman' familiar with the movement-figures that Messrs. : Teller and Polk would certainly be able to carry the states of Georgia .Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina," Calif or7 nia, Nevada, Montana, -Nebraska, ' Kan sas, Washington, and Idaho, have an equal show with the other candidates in Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota Arkansas and Texas, and, if unable to secure elec tion direct, they; could, at, least throw the choice of a president into the., bouse of representatives, where it is- claimed the free-coinage candidate would be al most certain of election. - .. .

Tie Eyents of the Day Rem tiie ; - History of the Past ENGLAND, FRANCE AND CHINA WAR. A Forecast of What May Yet be NeCess ary for the United States. HOW CHINA IS A PT TO HE MIS LIED. Not Barbarous, Nor Alorally Obtuse, Nor Intellectually Dull, Nur Physically Weak. Washington, April 25. The Chinese . question is rapidly assuming the pro portions of a serious and universal pro- -;,' '. blem, and to many who are familiar' with the history of previous events, it seems possible that the government of the United States may yet be obliged to administer some of the medicine applied -by other nations. A prominent senator ' " said yesterday : "It is barely forty years ago, when the attention of the civilized -world was attracted to the vicissitudes of a war which was waged by England aad France against the Chinese power; war that was provoked by a similar con- 1 ' catenation of events as the present crisis presents, and which was waged in order" ' : to compel the Chinese government "to. -become amenable to the internatiSfaa '-:r t. usages of the rest of the civilized world:"?."' ' The termination of hostilities decided : 'i the superiority of European arms, abd ' the victory stipulated theliTjenylr" eign residents to trade, to reside, and fc;.V-i engage in; any legitimate occupation' they may choose. The walPv of China was no longer the in superable barier to ingress. The ports...?,, were declared open to foreign commerce, " '. and the lives, liberties and property of foreign residents there, were to be pro tected and guaranteed, by the Chinese ' government. In a word, China, after , the war, was declared to have been ad- "" " mitted into international relations with '" the rest of the civilized world, under the contract of tnutua' and international re-, sponsibilities and obligations." The : fact of the matter is, China is apt to' be . misrepresented, both by her detractors and her defenders, more eo thau any other country in the world. ' She is neither-Uie barbarous country whose pop, ulation is morally obtuse, intellectually dull, and physicially enervated, as some represent her to the popular imagination ; nor is ehe that highly organized and an cient civilization, contended in her long roll of historical monuments, apathetic in her present, but threatening mo mently to rouse herself and precipitate her counties horde in order to submerge the rest of civilization.
