Washington, April 11. David
Davis has written a letter to John
Martin of Kansas on the present
political situation. Having refer
ence to the senate deadlock,
Davis says that both parties are
controlled by monopolists and that
neither can. assert its will or that
of its constituents. The only solu
tion of political difficulties is in
reorganization of parties. Davis
says that if the democratic party
would disband the republican party
-would fall to pieces, because it is
only kept together by federal
patronage and by agitation of the
sectional question.

Santa Ki:, April 11. Saturday
afternoon at the railroad camp on
the line of the Denver and Rio
Grande, forty miles west of Chama,
New Mexico, a desperado from
Texas niunad Baker, with two
companions, entered the place,
rode up to each store and saloon
and robbed each proprietor of all
ntonev and valuable. At the last
store, kept by a Frenchman, the
roughs collected every man in the
place, numbering forty, marshalled
them into line under six-shooters
and compelled thorn all to take a
drink at the Frenchman's expense,
Baker doing the honors. Finally
Baker made them all sit on the
floor and suited away, threatening
to shoot any who moved. As he
turned the Frenchman sprang up-
lon him, took away both revolvers
and shot him dead. Ihe other
men then arose and fired a volley
at the other roughs, wounding one,
but both escaped on their horses.

Office over Page & Allen's store, Caas street
The Chicago Times recently!
printed a report of interviews with
hundreds of prominent democrats
in all parts of the country upon the
subject of reorganizing the demo
cratic part' under another name
. and making the next presidential
canvass an issue of tariff for rev
enue only. 3 n the west and north
west the prevailing sentiment was
found to be one of outspoken ad
vocacy of low tariff principles, but
-whenever a manufacturing ountrc
was approached a different feeling
wah manifested. In low, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois J
and Wisconsin, the democrats had
little hesitation in declaring for a
tariff for revenue only, while in
parts of Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio, the sentiment is exactly the
reverse. The preponderance of
opinion in the snuth, as indicated
by those interviews, is against ac
tive agitation c f the subject.
In spite of the stability of solid
earth, it is an ascertained fact that
at" least two earthquakes, on an
average, occur in one part or other
of the habitable globe every week.
Residents on that terra tremula
known as Japan, who are accus
tomed to look forward to an earth
quake daily about tiffin .time, and
minor earthy undulations to rock
them to sleep at night, will no
doubt call these seismological sta
tistics tixtremelv moderate. The
members of a learned association
known as the Seismological Soci
ety of Japan, who may not inapt
ly be styled a fraternity of scien
tific shakers, have shown by a scries
of nicely conducted observations
that the entire face of the island is
affected with a kind of St. ritus
dance which never permits it to
be quiet. At a recent meeting of
this earthquake society, one of the
members exhibited a series of
photographs, showing the destruc
tion in Manila caused by the
earthquake last year. In showing
these photographs, he called par
ticular attention to one of a large
cathedral, which showed tle differ
ences in effect produced ujxmi
openings like doorways and win
dows which were rectangular as
compared with the effects pro
duced upon oijcnings which were
circularly arched. all the feimer
liavuig given way in the angles.

Love in a cottage must, indeed
"bo pleasant at Newport. It takes
millionaires to keep the style of
cottages in vogue there, however.
One of these has over tiiirty rooms,
besides lodges and outbuildings.
The simple cottagers of Newark
are the savage creatures who rend
and destroy their fellows on Wall
street.
About a week ago a Hartford
paper told about 'premonitions of
cowslips and June butter m the
bursting of the catkins and the
cheering note of the sparrow."
Since then wind and snow have
been making havoc in that region,
and the catkins and the sparrow
are postponed.

ber of records which seemed to
snew: nrsr, mat eariiKiuaKC
vibrations arc not harmonic; and
second, that there are usually Qnly
about two or three vibrations per
jrcoond. Pendulums and a variety of
iustruttUMits to record earth tremors
were described, and the results
discussed. Microphones and an
instrument which by means of
moving a suspended mirror gave a
magnification of an earth motion
of about 1,000 times, seemed to
have given the best results. The
results obtained from the use of a
great number of simple instru
ments like columns, howls of
liquid, etc., were next given.
Finally, the experiments to localize
the shocks so often felt in Japan
were discussed. Many of these
seem to have originated near
Yokohama; a result which seemed
to be confirmed by the fact that
nearly all the recent shocks have
been felt in Yokohama from fifteen
