Hunt had been cipturcJ , nnd ho positively
refused to dlscloso the hiJInc ? place of Ids

It Is evident that outside friends of the

consider the matter of wheat grading There
are loud complaints that the state has let
down on the quilltj of wheat that Is allowed
logo Into the thrco upper grades. This ,
some of the millers claimed , is carried
so far as to imko It unsafe to buy
for their mills in an } other way than
by sample A proposition foi the millers to
unite in a refusal to bjy No 1 noithern
wheat by gnido was discussed Theio was
nearly an equal division of sentiment as to
whether or not the adoption of an agreement
not to buy any br prad& uould bo the host
way out of the situation Those opposed to
the agreement insisted that it would bo their
policj to buy In whatever way tiicy thought
would bo to their individual advantage
They claimed that the proper way to remedj
the evil would bo for the elevator
people to _ to refuse , _ , to " _ take into
their houses unsound wheat "In tbo upper
grades when such nro sent to them aud to
call for u reinspe-ctlon. Tbo commission men
wore also divided on the subject , sovernl
claiming that the grading is all ridit. Others
took the ground that the standard adopted Is
entirely too low ami lets unsound wheat into
grades \\hcralt is not entitled to go Sonic

There vvlll bo several formil atncnclineuts

the exception of the sugar schedule mid the
reciprocity amendments the tnrid bill has
hceii practically disposed of bv the senate.
It Is not expected that tnero wlllboaay

AUlrich amendment. So far as can bo
learned there will ba but few votes
In favor of the Sh'nnan amend
ment. A few eastern ropjhlican senators
seem disposed to vote for the Sherman Cana
dian reciprocity amendment , but the idea has
not fouml general favor. It was stated this
evening by a republican mciiberof tbo wnjs

probability of any actiou by the liouso on the
the tarifl bill until Speaker Reed has re

Tlin HSOlTOX-VENAlltE COSTKST.
The Langston-Tcnablo ea e in w hlch Prof
John M Langston , the well known coloied
orator. Is contestant against .Mr. Vennblo
of tno Foiitth ( or Petersburg ) district
of Virginia , General Mahouo's distric't ,
will bo called up by Mr Howell on
Tucsda ) and will probably bo the most bit
terly contested election case of the session
Mr O TeriMll of Virginia Is iu chirge of the
case for the democrats , and ho has decided
that when the veto is called the democrats
shall filibuster by leaving tie house in a
boly , thus breaking a quorum. Many of Ids
colleagues have protested to him veiy stren
uously against sucn tactics , as they consider
it bad politics besides beln ? eutiielj useless
Th it sort of a thing may bo kept up two or
thrco days , but they must } ield sooner
or later und the discotutlturo lucre ises
the longer the vote is postponed.
Mr OTeirall Justifies his action bv the
statement that there aio veiy many republi
cans who are bltteilv opposal to seating
Langston and they will Join the democrats in
refusing to vote , and that by this moans the
election committee will llnl It expedient after
several days del iv to withdraw the caso. Mr.
Hovs ell , when told of the argument , simply
laughed nnd bald Itvas outof the ijucstlon ;
that the house would stick on the I/mgstou-
"Veuable case until Langston was seated.

It was an altogether-unusual proceeding by
a presiding ofticer that previ-nted Jlnal action
upon the river and harboi ? b.11 by the senate
Saturday. After the tariff bill had been fin
ished , except the suy.r i hr-dulo , nnd a fejw
reacr-vcd puiagraphs , there remained half an
hour of thososs'on ' , just about long enough ,
Mr 1-fyo said , to have the conference report
on tlio river nnd harbor bill real , and he
therefore called It up for conoid oration
When the bill passed the senate thcro was
but ono vote ngainst it , and us the con
feiees had preserved every essential leature
of the senate bill it was supposed thorn
ivouldbe 110 opposition to agreeing with the
report. Thus thinking , most of the senators
left the chunber , so that when the leading of
the report had been concluded less than
tvv out } -lUo were present. Senator Havvlo }
was the onlv senator who opposed the repoit
because of the Harlem river improvement
Item and every ono was waiting for the an
nouncement of the formal ratincation to genome
nome Bjforo putting the question the pres
ident pro tern 10 narked In his emphatic manner
nor : "Tho chair dejjres to stnto that
It will not assume the lesponslbiiit }
In a case Involving so greit a sum
ana such impoitant interests iu > the present
bill of declaims it pissed unless the presence
of a quorum is shown by the vote. " Staitted
out of his usual state of senatorial propiiety
by such an unusual declaration fioni tbo
chair , so far as known the enl } ono of its
kind on record , the senator ojaculnted , "Why
not , Mr. President ! " but he receh-ed no
answer , as doubtless he was exprctlng none
Ofcoursotho vote failed toshovv a quorum
and the senator adjourned. Iho senator will
cull up the report again tomorrow and expects
to have it agreed to without tuitticr delay.
While congress Is in recess Postmaster
General Wunamaker will cause nn hnestlga-
tloii to bo made into the present condition of
postal transportation , with a view to ascer
taining the possibility of u successful change
of tlio rate on ilrstrclass mall matter from 2
cents to 1 cent per pound.
The investigation into the fee system as
abused in the federal courts throughout the
country has aheady brought to light such
nn nrrav of facts that it begins to look
as if there was really n posslbilltv
that this system would bo wip-ct
cut or a least robhed of many of the abuses
w hich it has fostered so thoroughly The
onhei-i of the treasury department , familiar
with the workings of the fco system , espec
ial ! } in lovt'iiuo cases , are unanimously In
in favor of its abolition , on d there is already

among the loveliest of the Scotch highlands ,
whoso pulses KoDcrt Burns sanir years aso
and whoso manifold boautics are at this mo
ment being appi eclated by no less a person
age than the Comto de Pans. This morning
I set out to find Look ICennaeh lodge , where
the distinguished frenchman is enjoinfa
month's shooting on ono of tie bestgrouso
moors this comtryean produce Fora fill
hour and a half oui trap rolled slovvlj up the
mountain side thiough exquisite glens \\lth
line old tiees und splashing waterfalls , wind
ing up the hillside , trom which , as we rose ,
a wonderful view kept broadening over the
hills and valleys beneath.
"Tticie , sir , is the Comto do Paris , " said
the driver , pointing to the rolling acres of
broad heather which stretcned uvvuy on both
both sides of the roa-1 as far as'ono could see.
Ulhoy are uljout shootingtodny. J bejlevo
the count's party includes one of the Roths
childs , and I don't know how man } noble
men. Lookthcrol On the left you can see
their guns Hash , and } ondcr over the hills
comoallnoof clrlveis with led and vihliu
Hags frighteninggrouso toward the sports
men. Upon myvor l , sir , 1C the count ain't
a-\valking this \ \ ly himself. It looks us if ho
\\ascomingto meet us" aud sure enough ,
\\alltingacro33 witti ascoio of long stiides ,
came a gentleman , gun in hatnl , with a gray
shooting costume , who turned out to be the
Comto do Pa.-is. Ho had received my tele-
giain from Perth
"I oxpoctad you wonld bo along shortly , "
slid the prince , with a gracious welcomes.
"Como this way behind the decoy. You are
just in time to sco ono of our best dilves "
Speaking thus In cvcellent English , the
count of Pans took up his position behind u
stone rimpartwhile I settled down on npeat
boog to nvvnlt developments A couple of
French attendants and a black hunting clog
looked on in silence.
"I was moro plcasel than I can toll jou , "
began the count , vhllo waiting , "with the
\ery , very kind editorial in the New York
Herald August U. The writer spoke of m }
approiching visit to America- such Hatter-
lug and cordial terms that I should Indeed bo
ungrateful were I not to express my sincere
th inks to the gie.itest of all American join-

the scenes of your late war. My son told
jour ic.ideis himself some time ago how
happ } ho Is to bo able to see with his own
eyes that great countiy about which ho has
heard me spea'i so often. "
"Tho Due d'Orleans , " I re narked , "seems
to have suivi % cd his prison experience pietty
well. "
"Kot as well as you would think , " suld tbo
father. "During the last month I have no
ticed that- "
"Patdoi , monslgneur , " Intcirupted ono of
the attendants , pointing to a diivo of some
half dozen grease llv ing straight toward the
decoy. "
Bang' bang I went the two b irrcls of mon-
slgncur'sguii and down caino a bne-o of line
birds , ono of them , a runner , being soon set
tled by a well tialncd dog
"As I was saying , " continued the count ,
taking up a fresh gun , "tho Duo d' Orleans
got his liver out of order in that Clalrvaux
prison and has been complaining lattny Ho
sujs they gave him too much tiipoto eat
Ourjuunt through America will put him
all right , though. He's over at
the Duo d'Amaleis ' place just now
shooting partridges ah , that was too bad' ' "
This exclamation was caused by set ions
misses bv a gentleman next the shelter , who
blazed away valnl } at the capitaldrl\e.
"What do } ou tblnk , sir , " I asked , "of
Figaro's Boulanghin ailiclesl"
'Iho count hesitated a moment hefoio re
plying. 'Tor evident reasons , " said ho , "I
feel that I should not go Into details in speak

tion contain a gr at deal of truth I do not
licsltateto afilrm , that they contain a largo
amount of exaggeration und inaccuracy Is
also true. It Is not for mo to separate/ heat
from chaff. "
"Do } ou admit the truth of what Tlgiro
states as to negotiations carried on between
General Boulangcr and the rovallsts J"
"To a certain exte'nt , of coursorsuch nego

I "Aud how would yea account for the gen

"Ah , " answered the prince with a imllo
and a trulj Parisian shnig , "I don't know

because he das nothing better to do , " and
leveling his piece ho Hazed nwii ) at a pro tso

"And how about the eonpde etat which

"Ah , " answered the count , sinking his
