Chat With the Men Whose Privilege It Is to Help Themselves to Anything Among the Oregon's Treasures. New York, April ia—Mr. Merritt, ot the wrecking company that has charge of the sunken Oregon, was scon at his dock, at Stapleton, Hinton Island, where Is kept the powerful machinery and peculiarly-built ves sels requisite for this lmrsardous business. Mr. Merritt was not in the very liest of humor in speaking of the Oregon. Ho wished he lmd never undertaken the job. In their business tlie risks uro tremendous and the profits uncertain. It Is linseit on tho no euro, no pay principle. "Hero wo have hnil u lorco of s.an,, thirty odd men, liesides a steamer amt schooner, hovering over tho wn ck for a month," continued Mr. Merritt, "and we have accomplished very little. A Now York newspaper, liecomlng iinputiuut at our delay, engaged a singlo tug and a couplo of divers to visit tho wreck and mnko nn immedi ate investigation. The ropoilers in charge of tho expodition got so deathly sea sick that they Insisted on returning home. Tho tug itself was nearly swamped la tho sea, and tho expedition, which ended In a day, cost tho |wilier over !>li'0. That new- . ,qua lms spoken 1< , ears lily of our wof'k biucu. IN MRS. MOROAN’S CABIN. He said that in groping for loose packages of any kind they searched tho ceiling and not tho floors of tho cabins, ns the great majority of articles were lighter thun the water ut that depth. He believed that a great many val uable packages would bo found pressed against tho ceiling of the saloon, hut It being so high he hud not yet been ablo to devise a way of reaching them. "I’m rigged to go down add not float up ’gin the ceiling of u cabin,” ho said. Later Mr. Merritt said: “Yes, there Is reported to lio $1,000,000 worth of property inside the Oregon, one- half of which is in I he shajie of personal baggage. One man claims to liuvo $300,000 in securities in ono of the mail Lngs. 'Tho cargo is after all the safest object for us to work for. On its recovery our pay is based on salvage; with personal baggage and mall we trust to tho genorosity of the owner, which seldom (wins out richly. We receive no pay' from the steamship company. Tho orders to our divers though are to iirst ex amine the hole in the Oregon’s side to see it her plates we Lieut inward or out.” H H. Horoan. How Congressman Vote. There are soma men in congress whoso dis tinction apparently dejiends upon the man ner in which they record their votes. Bcua- tor Pugh’s “No” sounds like the “Naw” of an infuriated Bowery champion who has been disturbed in his slumbers. Representative Strait, of Minnesota, utters his “No” as if it were a volley of hot shot intended for tho enemy, and as for Judge Symes, of Colorado, he won’t answer at nil if the clerk who calls the roll commits the blunder of saying “Sims.” The most graceful “Aye” is uttered by Tim othy Campbell, hut then he pronounces it “OL” As for old “Joe” Brown, ho never votes without washing his hands with invis ible soup hi imperceptible water, us if to dis claim any responsibility in the matter. Sen ator Edmunds’ vote sounds like a silent pro test against the wickedness of this world and L r i atelul acknowledgment of the fact that he Is not like other men. Keuator Teller, who has much in his manner of shaking to re mind one of the Methodist exhorter, utters his “No” ns if he were proclaiming the doom of the Bcorlet Lady of Babylon.—New York Who Vows That the San Do Move. A newspaper wag, writing to his journal a letter from tho capital of Virginia about this colored divine, has tho iinpudonco to head bis letter: ‘'Richmond's Most Colobrated Preacher.” Tho worst of it is that this is fact, too. Rev. Jasper has a substantial church, all his own. It is in the heart of “Africa,” ns the northern part of Richmond is called It is attractive looking, built of brick, is largo enough to hold 500 persons, and is always filled. Tlml is more than hundreds of white doctors of divinity, who prosido over tho richest of city congregations, can say of theirs. Rev. Jasper's sheep are well dressed, too. They come of tho cream of (lie Richmond colored society, which prides itself on its blood, tlic liest blood of Old Virglnny, snhl | It is more (ban half right, too; at least it is | just about half rigid.; for tho negroes of , Richmond are half white, a very largo num ber of them; and not n lew are cousins by | not many removes to colonels, Judges, congressmen, generals and even presidents thnt have been. To jwoplo liko these handsome, lusy quad roons, mulnUocs und octoroons, Jasper preaches. His col- WHERE GLADSTONE MADE HIS GREAT SPEECH FOR OLD IRELAND. Th* House of Commons Is a Small Ilall, anil Hard to Get Into—Members Wear Their Hats In Session. A DIVEn DEOCENDINO TO THE WRECK. The reason wo cannot work while the sea Is rough is this: Even when there is but an ocean swell tho liouis rise and lull as much ns ten feet with every wave. Non, tho diver's life depends on tho signal or “life” lino being kopt taut, as it is by jerks on this lino that ho communicates his tvisliei to llioso iu the boat above; so you can understand how Im possible it would lio to work with this boat bobbing up and down on tho surface of the ocean nt the rate of ton feet in ten seconds. Oil, yes, our men havo been all over tlio decks of tho Oregon. Their Iirst business was to anchor buoys and set guide lines, so that th • diver need not waste time in groping his way about the ship. You see, there is no north, south, east or west to guide him on tho ocean’s bottom. Ho drops down on tho vessel's desk precisely as u spider drops from tho ceiling. lie fastens his lino there, and, like n spider, continues to lay lines that will guide him on his return. Tho greatest obstacle in the way of tho diver's work is the tremendous air pressure required, which is over sixty pounds to (ho square inch. The uir pumps are driven by steam jsiwer, which is something exceptional iu diving work.” Mr. Merritt being called away, left us with one of the divers who has been down among tho Oregon's treasures. Hd was a Bliort, broad-shouldered man with a deep cheat, bronzed face, keen, deeply-set eyes and square jaws. Ho was inclined to be reticent, but willingly donued tho great copper helmet and diving armor with its loaden-soled shoes to enablo tho artist to make the Nketehos pre sented herewith. After considerable ques tioning ho described his visit to Mi-s. Mor gan’s stateroom, iu which lio expected to And a sachol of diamonds but was disappointed. Next to the American civil war, tho sottlo- ment of Ireland's troubles is the nioit im portant history that has lieon made in the lost half of the Nineteenth century—If they are settled, thnt is to Bay. Every lovor of civilization and progress is hoping that they . may lie, and that tlioy may be decided as Ireland wants them to bo. | Nothing is more romurkablo than the change which has taken place, both in Great Britain anil America, in the suntimeiit on the IrL.li question. Homo mlo for the unhappy island was nn i lea scouted with derision by all but n lianillul of dreamers and molcon tents twenty years ago. “Solid” Americans and Englishmen alike ridiculed It, Hut the Irish liegnn to come over to Amer A Snolfty that Is Kiiilnnvei'lng to Fro* mote 1’urlty, One of tho latest societies which hnvo sprung up to combat a social evil is the So ciety of the White Cioss.

The objects of tlio oixler Is Included in the follow ing rules, to which ovory young man sub scribes on joining tho society: 1.

Ho is throo-quarters black, and nearly 70 years old now. Ho is tolerably well informed in books, but uses tho negro dialect |x*rsisteutly in Ids talk. This is a peculiarity of most negroes in the south. Many of them can rend nnd write well—ex cellent English, in fact. But they associate only with tlielr own race away from school. Hearing only tho negro dialect in ordinary conversation, it Is difficult to see how they can ever learn correct English under such conditions.

He plnnls the statement on tlio Bililo and stakes his last hope of salvation upon it Whito jiei'Hous, strangers iu Rich mond, frequently go to Ids church. It is one of tho lions ot tho city. Among these stranger visitors somo time since were Mr. und Mrs. Moncure D. Conway. “M. D. C." gives an amusing account of the sermon. The preacher wus evidently flattered by tho presence of his distinguished uuditors, nnd yet was struggling not to appear no. Ho went out of ids way to administer sounding whacks to learird people who do not be lieve the word of God. Ho never fails to do this, for among his own congregation are some black sheep, at least yellow sheep, who refuse to admit that “the sun do move.” They say they only go to church “for style," liko whito folic.

Our renders may not have followed tho investiga tion ns it drags through tlio hands of a con gressional committee. The facts, ns fnr ns outsiders can got at them, are these: There is a poworful organization called tho Bell Tele phone company. It has the telephone busi ness of the United States largely iu its oontroL Opposed to it is tlio Pan Electrio company, os tons'bly nt tlio head of which are Dr. J. llogere and Ids son. Mumliors of congress and oven of tlio cabinet have stock in tbo Pan Electric company, mid aro accused of using the Influence of their official position to forward tho interests of the company. It is wnr to tho knifo Intween the Beil und the Pan Electric concerns, and they have law suits pending in tho United States courts to determine the patent rights of each. CASEY YOL’NO. Casoy Young, of Memphis, Term., is the secretary of tho Pan Electric company. Ho declared before the congresi ioual committee that tho Bull Telephone company controls the nowspajier press of llio nation and all congress, too. That, he tuys, is tho reason why so many papers ore hounding certain high officials so persistently and demanding their resignation. He says those journals are well paid for their services. Casey Young is a shrewd, determined man. Ho is a lawyer and a Democrat and has been a member of lour congresses. He is not in at present, however. Sam Jones' lteform. Sam Jones looks tired and ill. His swear ing off on tobacco is undoubtedly telling on him, nnd it seems to beau interesting scientific and religious fact that the physical annoy ances that follow such a reform cannot be removed by prayer. However, Chicago never fails in any reform work, nnd Mr. Jones will stick it out.—Chicago Times. Tom Corwin’s lluutly ltepartee. John C.

Those who have followed English polities havo watched Gladstone gradually growing to t be occasion. Year by year the coursii ot natural statesmanlike development lias brought him (o tho lofty piano whence the other day he look..d boiiignnnlly down on his fellow countrymen and propouxl home rule for Ireland. Ho is the nu st splendid figure In European statesmanship to-diiv. If ho enrry homo rule for Ireland, lie will lie tho grandest figure in Ktirojie in the Nineteenth century.

Undoubtedly the greatest day of the pre mier's lito wilt lx) that on which lie intro duced his bill for homo rule for Ireland. They say there never was heard such cheering in the Jiouso of commons iu nil tho centuries as when ho arose to introduce his bill, it was so tremendous that it disconcerted him a lit tle, anil ho pall ,1 before it when ho first arose. Very different is (lie English house of com mons from our American house ot repn sontatives nt Washington, nnd tho difference is not iu favor of tho British organization either. For ono thing, an English member lias no particular seat through tho season. It is Unit come, first served. A member may presorve a soat to himself for ono night liy putting ids curd into a little brass receptacle at tho baolf i f a cliuir. Ho may also secure n squatter’s claim by placing bis bat upon a chair beforehand. Tills is culled “hutting,” nnd. is very common. But it must lie tin bat which tlio member wears for the day; consequently lie is obliged to walk around bareheaded while his hut guards his scut. ,j Jr IMI® GLADSTONE hPKAKINO. Our American congress begins its sessions nt 13 noon, which it n very decent, hour. Tho English parliament does not commence until 4, public business at 4:30. Tho so s Ions are therefore prolonged till far into the night. But this suits the Into retir ing for which the English are so l'umous. Mr. Gladstone began span king on bLs home ■rule measure at 4:35, end kopt it up tkreu hours. Another feature of the British house which an American will not liko is the difficulty ol gotting into it. Strangers must be invited by a member, and liuvo a ticket to show tin poliie that line tbo doorways and corridors, before ho can get inside. But there is only room for 3tw iu lUe strangers’ gallery. There aro often 1,U)U applicants.
