A 8tald Senator Appears En Stibablllc Booisty Ballss Wbo Wear Bells 0b Their Oartera. Special Correspondence. Washington, August 15. The United States senate is in a titter, and has several times laughcl "right out loud," at the expense oi its most frigidly dignified member. Several days ago, during one gf the numerous roll calls for a quorum, Senator Edmunds made his ap pearance at one of the cloak room doors and answered to his name in a condition whirh has not been equaled for grotesqeness since Ben La Fevre tsonitt years ago raahed fiotn the bath room to the floor ui the house of representatives to cast his vote, clothed entirely with Turkish towels. The barber had cut about half of Mr. Edmunds' hair when his name was called ; he jumped out of the chair, strode to the door and answered, his neck bring all the while encircled by a white cloth which reached l elow his knees like a gown, and the hair on one ride of his head cut very close and on the other side unusually long there is none on top anyway. The effect can better be imagined than written. Mrs. Douglass Green, whose ma riage not many months ajio drove her husband out of good society and the banking firm of Bateman & Co., of New York and Washing ton, and compelled the newly wedded couple to gu to Europe to e.-cape the criticism ot Mr. Green's former friends, and some said to keep the lady nut of the hands of the law for having married without the legal right to indulge in such luxuries is xgain in Washington. She is a guest at one of the highest priced ho'els in the city, and her husband is not with her. Some of the hoys played cruel joke on a fresh young man sent here last winter by a promim.-iit Western paper. He was told that nil he had to do was to introduce himself to Senator Edmunds and ank for any information he might wish to send his paper about the business transacted in executive sessi m ; the fact was irnprefsed upon his mind that Mr. Edmunds was the man who furnished the press with this news. The after noon of the day the first executive session was held this youiii; ma'i tackled the nenator as he was leav ing the building.

It may not be as important , a soore of those made by Stanley ia Africa, but you can judge for Voureelf. Last night I attended al enter tainment at a friend'i fwdence. It was not long befor4Ly esui were greeted with a faint, far away tinkle, tinkle, not t.nlike the merry music of silver sleiJi bells a long ways off. I could r. , for the life of me, tell what they were. Finally I located the sound as com ing from a merry group of young people, but the most careful scru tiny made, of course, on the sly failed to hIiow winch one the jin glp came from. Becoming desperate I asked one of the young ladies m the afoe said group ii she heard the tinkle of the bells. She blushed deeply, and in some confusion requested me to get her an ice. Later I went to my hostess' wife and asked her for information about the tinkling bells, whicn I was beginning to think were the creation of a disordered brain. "If you can keep a secret, re main here a few minutes," she said as she left the room. "Is this like what you heard?" she asked as she returned with one hand held behind. "Yes; what is it?" I answered, eagerly. "Hush hush! not so loud. It is Julia's garter." And handing me a dainty e'rele of yellow satin with an oxvdi.ed silver clasp. along the bottom of which were six of the tiniest, cute little sil ver bells imaginable, she sat dowr and laughed at tnv discomfiture. She then condescended to inform me that it was the very latest fad sent over from the home of fads, Paris. The silk sashes so generally worn by men this summer appear harm less enough to look at ; but they have gotten one United Statessen- ator into trouble, and it is not cer tain by any means that it will not end in his losing his seat. The unfortunate man is Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who. in search of comfort during the recent tor rid weather, donned a flannel shirt. and in place of a vest, a silk sash. All would have been well if one of his farmer constituents had not visited Washington and seen him. This visit originated the present light which the Farmers' Alliance is making on Vance. Chinese for Mexico. San Francisco, August 23.- Among the passengers on the City of Peking this afternoon was a well known attorney of this city, who goes to China to get eight thous and men, who will be employed in the construction of the railroad across the isthmus. The Tehuan teiec road is to be built by English money and the work let to IVlexi can contractors. The attorney said arrangements had not yet been made with any steamship company for the transportation of the men but they will be landed at Salinas Cruz in the Gulf of California. Parrott Reinstated, Portland, Aui?ust 23. At a meeting of the directors of the Portland baseoall club held to night, Tom Parrott, recently sus pended by Manager Harris, was re-imtated and will pitch a g-ime for the Portlands to-morrow. After this action of the directors Harris at once tendered his resig nation as manager of the club. A RUNAWAY WIFE FOUND. Seattle Tel-graph. An erring woman and perhaps not altoget her blameless husband were at police headquarters last night, as also a third party, a irt. Paul traveling man with head quarters in this city. The latter and the woman were arretted early in the evening by Detective Barck at the instance of the husnand, who claimed the festive traveling nan had mpplanted him in his wife's affections. The wife, he said, had run away from their home in St. Paul with the travel ing man, the two having arrived here about a week ago, at which time they took up headquarters at the Jay Cook house on South Sixth street, near Jackson, where the couple were ar.eFted. It was the intention of the huwband to prose cute the runawav couple for adul- terv, but on being informed that Washington is without an adul tery law he decided to not prefer the charge. Accordingly upen the wife s pledges of future taitniui ness, the two started to retrace their steps to St. Paul, taking the boat to Ticoma. The woman, a beautiful little brunette not vet 20 vears of age, claimed that the husband, who is a practicing physician in St. Paul, had been guilty of mistreating her and to such an extent that she had decided to run away with her i iormer spouse, lue traveling man, , nuu vtan niiviiiing uut prepoeseBS' j ing in appearance. !

You will be promptly advised of further developments." Nkw York, August 23. Pow derly to nikiht wrote a reply to the statement of Webb, as follows: "I see you have at last ventured to-break the silence that sealed your lips in relation to the causes which led to the di-charge ol 5Uor 00 of your me.i. Your alleged ex planation is even less creditable to you than silence, and does not in any way excuse the stand you have taKen. Your statement is eminently worthy of men who can see no cause for an investiga tion in cases of drunkenness, in capacity, breach of duty and in subordination. All these men have a right to know whether they were fired for cause. You cannot assert with any degree of accuracy that any one of these men were dismissed for the cause you put forth. You must depend on the statement made to you by your subordinates your superintend ents and foremen. SALMON. They Are Crowding the California Canneries. San Frascisco, August 23.

' A Company of Americans Ready to Proceed With the Work. Philadelphia, August 23. A. L. Biai kman, president of the Atlan tic A Pa iiic Ship (.'anal company, is in the city. He was asked his teason for the proposed innoduc tion in congress, by hhu, of a bill to repeal ihe charter gi anted the Maritime Ship Canal company of Nicaragua. "I am acting solely in the inter est of my company, which is a cor poration organized under the laws of the stae of Nicaragua. It is composed of ci'izens of the UnLed Slates. The original and excluive rights, concessi"ns and grant to this company to construct and manage and own a ship canal across the Nicaragua country, be tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, were made to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Joseph L. White, Na thaniel 11. W olf and others, as their associates. 'Ihe charter w a obtained in 18S0, and w s l r a term of eighty-live years after the day w hen the canal was complett-d. Great improvements were made and large sums of inun- y expend ed, ine Maritime Ship Canal company is trying to seize oui pr. peny in Nicaragua, ana th it sua 1 not do." He declared further that the company was willing to do the work. He so int'oiined the Nicar .it:u n government in 1887. But the agent ol the Maritime company w as engaged iu negotiations lor the charter at the time, and the gov ernment had declared the .conces sions granted his company va.id. They were leady now, when il'e government permitted them, t- go ahead with the work. All these statements are embodied in the bill introduced in congress. Drowned While Bathing, Astoria, August 23.

Port Townseno, August 23. ihe cruiser Charleston lelt to-day lor Seattle lor the purpose of tak ing coal., Seattle, August 23. The U. S. flagship Charleston arrived in port this evening. As the cruiser steamed into har bor a'l the wharves and boats in right were rilled with speciators. A salute of fory-four guns was tire-i iiBweicome and she returned w ith tweniy-one guns. Ah soouas she came io an anchorage, about a quaiter of a mile off the wharves, a delegation irom the chamber oi commerce went out to extend to her officers and men the hospitalities of the city. They were received with great cordiality y Admiral Biown and Captain Remay and entertained on board the v-ssel for about an hour. To night Admiial Brown came ashore for a veiy few minutes. He says mat he is here to get a supply ol about 400 tons of coal and to look about thia region for a site for a naval dry dock and a station. He has no further orders from the de partment, but is expecting them by Monday or Tuesday. He scouts the rumor that Uie ship is going to benriug sea. The Charleston will probably be here for at least a week coaling. CAN tKANCISCO, AngUst 23. A special dispatch from Washington this morning says that all the dip lomatic reticence in the world can not efface the impression made by the news of the sudden appearance on Puget Sound of the Charleston, the most nowerlui vessel ol the United States navy in Pacific waters. That she should be re called from Honolulu and ordered, not to San Fiaicisco, the nearest port, but to Port Townseud, is -it'ong evidence that her move ments have reference to the inten tion of the government in the uiattT of the poaching around the seal islands. Just across the straits of Juan de Fuca in the harbor of Esquimalt lies the Brit ish squadron, headed by the flag ship Warspite, watching the movements of the American dinars. It ib true that when the Warspite appeared at that station and inquiries were made concern ing the purpose of her visit to the Pacific coast, representatives of the British government here in Washington declared that the cruiser was sent toEsquimalt only to take part in the customary naval maneuvers and to relieve the wiitsure, but it ia an axiom in diplomacy that language was invented to conceal thought and purpose, and the reassuring decla ration goes for what it ia worth, and that is nothing at all. A plainly discemable fact is that the mo-t powerful warships of the t vo navies available on the Pacific coast are confronting each other in Puget aound, and neither ran go north to take a nana m tre poaching business without the knowledge of the other. The or ders of Admiral Holham, who commands the W spite, are a iarkly mysterious as those which suddenly recalled the Charleston, and sent her to Northern waters. Whether the Warspite would fol low the Charleston northward in ase the orders of the latter should send hr in that direction Iter coaling up, is a ques'ion that nobodv can or will answer. Assist ant Secretary Solev, whenques- t oned about the Charleston, dip lomatically denied that there was anvihing specially significant in the movements of the Charleston So far as he knew she would not go north of the American boun dary line.
