Ingalls on the Election.
' KANsAS CrTy , Ma , Nov. 12.-John
.J. Ingalls , cx-senator from Kansas ,
arrived at te Union station at 10:10
o'clock this morning from Atchison ,
. and forty minutes later left for Car-
'thago to deliver a lecturo.
"The result last Tuesday , " said Mr.
.Ingalls , 'referring to the election ,
"was mere than a.Republican victory.
It was more than a Democratic de-
feat. It was a revolution. It was
the indignant protest of the national
conscience against imbecility , incapacity -
-capacity , hypocrisy , duplicity and
.dishonor. The redemption of Kansas
is complete. The costly and ) iumil-
iating aberration of the past four
.years has disappeared and reason and
' common sense have resumed their
sway. The Republican party has now
.a supreme opportunity to deal with
the causes of discontent which
brought about the original catastrophe -
phe , and I have no doubt that under
the prudent and conservative leadership -
ship of Major Merrill and his very
.able associates they will meet the
0 emergency with wisdom and forti-
-fade. "
"Do you expect to retnrn to public
life , Mr. Ingalls ? " was asked.
"No. I have at present no purpose
nor inclination to return to the public
service in any capacity. I am not indifferent -
-different to the honors , the rewards ,
the splendid incentives of public life ,
but I have had my day. I have no
.ambition that has not been fully
.gratified and the constituency that
has supported me so long might justly
reproach me should I importune them
for further preferment The unprecedented -
precedented honor of a fourth term
in the senate is a distinction that no
man could have the hardihood to ask
-nor the temerity to decline. "
Mr. Ingalls was at the Union sta-
tioii yesterday a few minutes , and
has been there often , and he explained -
plained his frequent appearance this
'way"
"I earn my living now on the lecture -
ure plat orm. Five years ago I sup ,
posed I had a moderate competency ,
but the shrinkage of values and the
strangulation of business left me'
: stranded , and my income from real
estates and other investments barely
suffices to meet taxes , insurance , interest -
terest and repairs , so that I have
been compelled to pack my satchel
and go on the road again. "
' 'Do you contemplate any change
.of occupation ? "
"I have had many lucrative proposals -
posals for newspaper and other professional -
fessional employment , but I have declined -
clined to consider them because I do
not wish to relinquish my residence
in Kansas and my life is too far advanced -
vanced to permit mo to contemplate
a new career. "

CONGRESS WILL DO LITTLE.
t
the Coming Se s10n Not Likely to ite-
sult in Any Good Lcgistatioa.
WASIINGTON , Nov. 12.-The session
.of congress which will open Decemn-
ber 5 is not expected by those
familiar with congressional methods
l to be productive of much legislation.
't'he facts that it will last for only
; ; three months , that it will be the
li last session of the congress and that
it so closely follows a general elec-
tion are all considered as indicating
' a f that comparatively little real work
will be attempted and still less ac-
complished. The greater part of the
f session will in all probability be cons -
s fined to an exchange of chaffing over
) the results of time election.
It is probable that next to nothing
r will be done before the Christmas
" holidays and predictions are freely
i made that it will be difficult to obI -
I tain or maintain a quorum previous
P to that time. After the holidays
there will be but two months left for
work and speechmatcing. It will , of
-course , be necessary to pass the usual
.appropriation bills , but little else is
.expected.
When the lastsession adjourned the
.measures attracting the-most atten-
tmon were the supplemental tariff or
' free raw material bills. They passed
the house and had been favorably reported -
: ported to the senate with material
: amendments by the senate committee -
tee on finance. While a majority of
the Democratic senators are friendly
to those bills , there is a considerable
.elemnent in time party opposed to their
consideration as are practically all
the Republican senators , and -these
) , will be able to prevent favorable consideration -
sideration of these bills because of
° the short session. They also claim
that if 'a vote should be reached
there willbe a majority againstthem.
It should be stated , however , that
-there is a division of opinion among
the opponents of the free sugar bill
d g and that some Republicans and some
.conservative Democrats have expressed -
pressed a willingness to allow this
bill to become a law , but the best in-
.dieations are that the fate of the bill'
will be determined by the fate of the
others of the same class
There is little doubt that the silver
.question will be raised in some form ,
but the probabilities are that there
will be no serious united effort on the
, , part of any considerable element to
push silver to time front. The more
t .general . opinion is that silver will be
reserved for the long session of Congress -
: gress so as to make it an issue in the
-presidential campaign of 1896.
Loco Found a Way.
CART IAOE , 11io. , Nov. 12.-While the
Rev. RE. . L. Jarvis , pastor of the
: South Methodist Episcopal church at
Monett , was on his way here Wednesday -

Fannie E. Todd , he placed his grip ,

t some friends some-one-stole his valise.

CHICAGOANS AROUSED.
Indignation Over the Late Election Mar
dors.
CRICAGO , Nov. 12.-The murder of
Gus Collander , by a gang of toughs
while watching the counting of ballots -
lots in the Ninth precinct of the
Twenty-third ward last Tuesday ,
caused indignation meetings in nearly
every ward of the North side last
night to protest against election day
outrages , and to pledge united action
in avenging the death. At each meeting -
ing resolutions condemning the
brutal murders and assaults and time
men in office who were responsible
for them , were adopted. Fervid
speeches , demanding retribution both
in the courts and at the polls , were
made and applauded by Democrats
and Republicans alike.
The facts brought to light by
the police show that the Market
street gang , otherwise known
as the "O'Malley gang , " had formed
a deliberate plan not only to sieze
the ballot boxes of several precincts ,
but to kill the judges and clerks if
necessary. It is known that the
members of the gang , all of whom
have more or less unsavory records ,
held a number of meetings in the rear
of a Market street saloon.
The Record , Independent , today
says :
"There are indications that men of
influence and city officeholders were
in communication , if not in direct
collusion , with time gang ; that they
had promised its members immunity
from police interference and that they
had paid the livery bills for time carriages -
riages that were used both before and
after time murder of Collander. If
the facts which were hinted at can be
proved the case will furnish most
sensational developments and the
names of persons high in office will
be-dragged into it.
"It is also evident that time bravado
of time gang is not yet broken. its
members who are still at large and
relying on the promised protection
have shown their bands several times
by appearing to threaten the lives of
men who am-e supposed to have inside
information as to their doings. "
The Civic Federation has already
gone vigorously into time work of
prosectitinir thee gang. It began to
collect its evidence yesterday and no
effort will be spared to convict those
who are guilty. N'o warrants will be
sworn out , however , until the police
have done what they can toward finding -
ing the men wanted. Inspector
Sclmaach says he is perfectly willing
to catch such of the men as he can
and turn them over for prosecution.
He thinks time great difficulty will be
getting time necessary identification
of time men who were implicated in
the murder of Collander. although it
will be a comparatively easy matter
to pick out the ones who were concerned -
cerned in time riots at the other polling
places. . "They are all slippery criminals -
inals , " he said , "they have been all
over the country and served their
time in a number of penitentiaries
and it is correspondingly difficult to
locate tlmemn. "
The Inter Ocean ( Republican ) today -
day contains grave charges of connivance -
nivance at the election day outrages
by Inspector Schaack and Police Cap'
tamn Gibbons.
CHINA AND AMERiCA.
Time Minlstor and Secretary of State
Gresham Conferring.
WASHINGTON , Nor. 12.-The Chinese
minister here had a long conference
withm Secretary Creslmam yesterday
morning. This was one of several
conferences held within the last ten
days.
The Chinese minister is acting
under the first article of the treaty of
1548 ; it pledges the United States in
case China is oppressively or unjustly
treated by another power , to use its
good offices to arrange the difficulty.
It is similar in scope to time first article -
cle in the treaty with Corea which led
Secretary Gresham at the beginning -
ning of the trouble to write
the note to United States Minister
Dunn at Tokio relative to the
Japanese occupation of Corea. Time
matter was laid before time president ,
who has had it under consideration
for a week or more. As the United
States representations in the case of
the occupation of Corea lmad little effect -
fect , there is no reason to suppose
that a different result would
follow an attempt to use
good offices in favor of Chi-
na. If the Chinese government
desires the United States to present
peace proposals to Japan as arbitrator -
tor tlmis may be done through Minister -
ter Denby , but it is felt here that the
better way would be for China to submit -
mit her proposals directly to Japan ,
wlmen it would be entirely within
the bounds of propriety for the United
States to express the. gratification it
would feel as a nation friendly to
both to see peace arranged on honorable -
able terms.
Young Logan in a Fight. ,
BALTI3toRE , Md. , Nov. 19.-John A
Logan , jr , who has a string of horses
at the Maryland horse show , and
Martin u'Brien , a local horse man ,
came to blows at the exhibition last
night , O'Brien claiming that Logan's
horse got in time way of his turnout.
Later they met and exchanged blows ,
but were separated before either
combatant received any injury.
A Tie for an Indiana Office.
INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Nov. 12.-Jona-
than Keith and John F. Goodman of
Knox county , the Republican and
Democratic candidates respectively
for prosecutor of their county , raced
to Indianapolis over different railroads -
roads to get the governor to decide
which was elected. Each received
2.915 votes Their case will not be
decided for several days.

of time boy captain and the Clyde sail-
fug-ship Tafalgar. It is a story that
mnight have been written by Robert
Louis Stevenson or Clark Russell , or
by both together. -
It hardly need be said that the boy
captain , as we have got to call him , is
'William Shotten , the son of a sailor ,
Captain Stephen Shotten , and a member -
ber of a Sunderland family. Among
the lanes of Gloucestershire , where
Captain Stephen Shotten now has his
home , I had a chat with the boy captain -
tain one fine afternoon recently. He
is a modest , charming lad of 18 , as
natural as a sailor should be , yet capable -
able , at a pineim , I should think , of
holding lmis own in the most difficult
circumstances.
"Since I came back to the old country -
try I have been having a holiday , " he
told me , "but I slmall be off to sea
again by-and-by. " He might have
added that he now carries his certificate -
tificate as a junior officer , and that
the fates look as if they mean to
make him a full-blown skipper before
he gets a beard. "
"You might. tell me , so I may ask
one or two questions on them the
main facts of your skipper-ship of the
Trafalgar. "
' L'riefly they are these. We were
sailing from Batavia for Melbourne in
ballast. Captain Edward died of Java
fever while we were lying in Batavia.
1Ve left two men ill in hospital , and
two had deserted , so we sailed with a
crew , nil told , of 23 hands. 1Ir.
Roberts , who had been first mate.
was now in command : it'e had got anew
new- first mate , a Mr. Norwood ; a seaman -
man from the fo'c's'le had been made
second mate , and I was ranked third
mate. "
"And so you put out for Mel-
boat ne ? "
"Yes , taking the fever with us , I'm
sorry to say. I had been ill of it myself -
self , and suffered a two hours' attack
almost everyday until we reached
Melbourne. L'ut I was spared , although -
though while th attacks were on I
really don't think I should lve cared
Imow it went with me.Vn1 , first an
able seaman died , then Mm' . Roberts
and the carpenter , then Mr. Norwood
and then the cook. A desolating business -
iness it was , and sadly demoralized
the crew , especially as they were left
with myself-an apprentice just out
of his time , a boy-as time only one on
board who could navigate. "
'Brit didn't the prospect appear a
tremendous-looking one to you ? "
"lleally. I can't say that I ever
thouglmt of that ; perhaps because I
had not tim3 ; perhaps because wlmile
Mr. Roberts and Mr. Norwood were
lying ill I hail already been navigat-
nmg the ship. You sc , the third mate ,
with whom I took watch and watch
about fromn the time we lost the other
otiicer. , could not navigate ; but ,
frankly , I hadn't any fear about being
able to take the Trafalgar to Melbourne -
bourne , and I told the men so. They
wanted to make for the nearest port
in Australia , but 1 set my face against
that , because it would have involved
greatexpense to the owners. Besides ,
as I argued with them , if I could nay-
igate the ship to the nearest port in
Australia , I could navigate her to
Melbourne. "
"I believm they didn't work with
you just as heartily as they might
have done ? "
"As I have said , the deaths on board
and the position we were left in made
the men see timings blackly. It was
from that fact that any difficulties I
had with them arose , not from a
desire , I'm certain , to cause difficulties -
ficulties Anybody who knows what
sailors are will easily understand
their fidgetiness and the troubles they
pnade as a result of it. If I had been
in time fo'c's'le and seen a lad taking
the bearings day after day on the
quarter deck , and bad I known that
he was the only frail guide on the
trackless sea-wlmy. I think I might
myself have been a trifle uneasy. All
the men could hare done would have
been to take a given direction-the
direction of time Australian continent
. -and bear up for it. Either that or
have trusted to being picked up by a
passing ship. In the first case , they
must just run her aground on time first
land they touched. It might have
been a barren coast hundreds of miles
from civilization. Whatever happened
to them , she must have been lost. As
to being picked up by another ship-
well , the comment an that is that we
didn't see one on the whole voyage. "
"Naturally , only those on board
time Trafalgar could really recognize -
nize all that was meant in your skip-
pership ? "
"We had a good bit of rough
weather when we got into Australian
latitudes ; had sails blown away- and
so on : but got to Meibourne all right.
Immediately they got foot on shore
the men forgot all their troubles and
couldn't say too kind timings of me ,
as , indeed , it has been also with other
people since. Time whole affair was ,
no doubt , strange , and may never occur -
cur again-anyhowin my experience.
Perhaps it was not without its risks ,
but if I had set to doubting about the
result , we might not have got through
as we did , you know.-London Let-

Nail-lilting.
The practice of nibbling at the finger -
ger nails is to be condemned , first , on
the ground that the nails are thereby
rendered brittle and unsightly , and
I
f
(
secondly , because it is a senseless
habit which makes the practice of it
a source of constant irritation to the
friends of time one who has.the habit.
The habit is usually acquired al
school in early childhood , and steps
should at once be taken to break it
up. i
This may be done in various ways.
It is usually sufficient to explain to
the child the perniciousness of the
habit requesting him to be constantly ,
watchful against it in himself , and to
discourage the practice in everyone 1
else. Punishment is usually uncalled
for.
Strategy may be resorted to in case
the habit bm well established. The
finger ends may be dipped in some
harmless preparation of a disagreeable
blo nature , which will serve to remind -
mind the child what he.is doing.
A French investigator has lately
published the results of an elaborate
study of the subject , chiefly in reference - 1
ence to the importance of the habit
as an indication of nervous disease.
His investigations have been pursued -
sued among the school children of
Paris , among whom ho found the
habit widely prevalent. Of the total
number of children examined , about
one-third were given to the practice ,
the greater proportion being among
the girls. The age at which the habit
was most common was found to be
f
between twelve and fifteen years.
The investigator thinks he has discovered -
covered a remarkable relation between -
tween nail-biting and a defective , or
at least an impaired stability of mind
and character , as all. the teachers
united in saying the pupils addicted
to nail-biting were the poorest stu-
dents. The boys were inclined to
effeminacy and the girls to slackness.
Both sexes showed a lessened ability
to sustain time attention anl were
consequently the hardest to teach.
Brave Little Tot.
Little golden haired Tot was 4 year.
old , a farmers daughter , and very
fond of a great , big , shaggy , black
dog , whose constant companion she
was. The joy of the comnradeship j
was marred by the fact that the dog
was not permitted to stay in the i
house , j
One evening in the early autumn.
when the nights were beginning to
hint of frost , Tot was missing. Time =
hasty and nervous search which followed -
lowed time discovery resulted in finding -
ing the little girl huddled up against
the dog in time farthest corner of the
woodshed. ller little shawl was tied
around his head , and a pair of very
short and dimpled arms were clamped
close around his neck.
"Why , Tot , what on earth arc you
doing here
"Do you 'spect I'se goin' to let my
dear doggie stay out in the cold all
by he self ? "
The same little girl went with tw ,
or three cousins , all older and bigger
than herself , to route a stubborn and
cross old hen ivho was determined to
"set" in a haystack.
'Tot Lad a sunbonnet on. . her fluffy
head , and carried a tin pail in her
hand.
The girls approached time stack
warily , shook their aprons , and called
out "shoo" several times.
The old hen did not st.irbut emitted
one or two ominous cackles. 't'he little -
tle folks renewed their efforts at dislodgement -
lodgement , but at quite a safe dis-
tance.
They threw sticks and straw and
called out "shoo" all to no avail.
Tot ] mad been watching the proceedings -
ings with grave disapproval in het'
glance. Finally she sat dou'n the tin
pail , moved up to the stack , grasped
the hen by the tail and threw her off
the nest , and completely over time
heads of her astoni.hie(1 companions.
Then she calmly remarked :
"Turn on dins an' get 'oor eggs. "
"Tot" is a woman now , beautiful
and stylish , the same warmhearted
traits and fearlessness in times of indecision -
decision having won her hosts of
friends all through life.

Greedy .Julian.
Julian is much fonder of fruit than
he is of his lessons. One morning J
while he and his father were taking
a stroll through the orchard , they
saw a lot of red apples on the ground.
His father , thinking that he might
teach the little fellow a bit of aritlm-
metic , said :
"Suppose I should give you two apples -
ples in cne hand and three in the
other , how many would you have ? "
"Maybe I should have all I wanted
' sight now , " demurely answered the
boy.
