New York, Dec. 1.—[Special.]—Amid
the bustling crowd that “swirls,” as the

of ex-Senator “Joe'’ McDonald, of Inili

The colored janitor of an insurance
building recently appeared before the
directors of the company as they sat at
lunch, and asked for a short leave of ab
sence. There seemed to be signs of an
objection, so he explained:
“I am, gentlemen, more of a person

his work, :‘\oj do not know, or arc not

“What did he fall from, a hen roost:”
asked a hungry director.
The janitor looked indignant, but so- n
joined in the la igh.and went away with
Isis leave of absence.

those men display in getting up enter

calling public at ten c on 10 anything that
may enlist their services, is well recog
nized ihiougliout the town. They typify
in the highest degree what is known m
the west as a "Hustler.” Mr. Gerry’s
ideas at first seemed rather large, but
the public has gradually grown up to

about here that when the ct-Jebration ot

He Arrests an Editor for Copying a Libel
on His Health.
New Yoek, Dec. 1.—[Special.] —A
cable dispatch to the Evening Sun says
that Emperor William is still confined to
his apartments. His malady has tnl-^n
a serious torn.
The emperor is reported as being very
angry at the, sensational reports sent to
London newspapers.
A copy of the telegram ssht the Times
was published in a local paper, and the
entire edition was confiscated and the
editor arrested.
The text of the article is given by the
Sun as follows:

which wou’d have impaired tho powers
of a much stronger man than he. More
over, it ia stated that upon teverai occa
sions covered by the period of his jour
neys and stoppages at the various capi
tals visited, the young emperor per
mitted himself to indulge inordinately in
strong drink, a practice to which ho was
rot addicted prior to his assumption of
imperial power. To this indulgence and
its consequent effects are ascribed many
of his lapses in filial duty toward his
mother, which in a man iu the ordinary
walks of life would have been charac
terized—and justly, too—as the acts of a
man of conspicuously brutal instincts;
and also, much of his intemperance of
speech with reference to vital political
questions.

ever done since becoming the chief ex

devote a large portion of the message at
the out et to the necessity of revising
the tariff schedules, lie will, also, ac
cording to all that can bo learned, handle
the pub.ic land and Pacific railroad
questions in a vigorous way, and urge
upon congress the ab olute necessity of
exacting laws that will return tQ the
people tho millions of acres of the pub
lic domain which have been gobbled up
by the corporat ons. The administra
tion throughout its existence hat aimed
to stand honestly by the settler, as was
emphasiz' d in the/tand taken in t’ne fa-
mem Gudford-Mtller case, nearly twq
years ago. For th ; s reason the demo
crats in the last campaign were opposed
by all the big land and railroad corpora
tion*, which influence was powerful.not
only in the west, but in nil parts of the
country.
The president has tocen : anxious that
his administration should do something
toward forcing a settlement of the Pa
cific railroad question, and the comiq s-
sion which he appointed made a report
to congress on which the Outhwaite hill,
now pending in congress was 1 ased. The
president is expected to say something
terse on this subject in bis menage. It
is also understood that ho will not only
defend stoutly the stand of his adminis

the merit system as lie has ever been,
and his general recommendations will be
made just as if he had ano;her four
years' term to serve, instead of going out
of office the 4th of next March.

The popular impression that Hansard

printed in Hansard are taken from the

Attacks Upon Hl* Administration.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 1.—[Special.]—
In the Richmond Dispatch of yesterday
was published a bitter invective against
the president. The author is sa d to b 1 a
politician of high note and second audi
tor of the state. It charges the president
with a lack of the principles which go to
make up democracy, and towards the
close occurs this passage :
“When, therefore, it was seen that
Mr. Cleveland had invited Fred Douglas
and his white wife and negro daughter
to his social receptions at tho White
House, at least four times, it became ev
ident he was ignoring the problem of his
age; that he was, by that act, a miscege-
nationi-.t, and, therefore, was not enti
tled to be called a great man, or the
greatest president the United States ever
had.” <
The Richmond State of this evening
defends Mr. Cleveland, and says he is
the “ablest executive that ever lived in
the White House.”

Funeral of Mrs. General Sherman.
New Yore, Dec. 1.—[Special.] — The
suggestion of Congressman Oates that
the dismemberment of the “solid South”
be accompanied by a constitutional
amendment disfranchising the negro, is
received with derision by the educated
colored men here. The ceuntry would
never permit such discrimination on
purelv race lines. They say they recog
nize the desirability o: the division of
both southern and negro votes, butcla'm
that the adoption of a property or edu
cational qualification wnuid meet all the
requirements, and, further, put a stop to
the conduct of political contests on
“Black’s office” principle.

Richmond, Va., Dec. 1.—[Special.]—
The largest publishing firm in this state

be forced to leave Richmond unless their
mail can be- forwarded more promptly
than heretofore. The house employs
400 clerks here, and has 5,000 traveling
agents. The postmaster here says he
can do nothing, and a meeting of the
chamber of commerce has been called to
consider the matter.
