AT THE RATION’S CAPITAL.
Washington, Dec. 8 The man
in Washington who has had the
hardest week oi it is John G. Car*
■ale, Speaker of the House of Rep-
swentatlve*. He said that the
Committee on Rules would proba-
Mjr be annoQnced next Monday.
The Speaker is Chairman of that
committee. Mr. Randall will be
second on it. During the week the
Elections Committee will be an
■onneed. Mr. Carlisle new thinks
that be may announce all the com
mittees the day before the holiday
adjournment aa Mr. Kelferdid; but
it is very probable,be says,that such
announcement may not be made un
til after the holidays.
The Pennsylvania Democrats
who howled so loud and kicked so
viciously because Mr,.Randall was
»ot elected Speaker are of changed
minds just now. They predicted
that Carlisle’s election defeated the
Democratic party forever. The
horde of Pennsylvania editors who
came down to rant fer Randsll went
home and predicted all manner of
had thinks for the national Dcmoc-
iscy. These gentlemen have also
changed about. The Pennsylvania
Democrats in Congress now say
that they are glad that Carlisle lias
been elected. It has dawned upon
them that it is better with him and
ftdr tariff views for the Democratic
party than It would bo with Ran
dall. They have become Carlisle
man. They speak confident of 1884.
So it Is with the editorial kickers.
Tbo correspondents here of a num
ber of Pennsylvania Democratic
papers have received lettors from
tbeir employers instructing them
to support Carlisle, and saying that
alter tho first shock was passed over
they are with-Carlisle, he having
been chosen.
Representative Lefovro, of Ohio,
boa suuceecdod in making a record
for himself that must be somewhat
unpleasant to him. Ho has lost
tbe faith of mar.y fellow Democrats,
especially of bis Ohio colleagues,
It ill grow out of the Speakership
contest. It appears that he wrote
his name down on both the Carlisle
and Cox slates. He voted for Ran
dall. On the morning ol theonucus
day, putting Ida arma around Gen
era! Clark’s neck, lie said that be
would vote lor him for Clerk. He
voted fo.- Atkins. Vacillation and
promise breaking among statesmen
is no uncommon thing. Leievre’s
offending seems to he that lie did
too much all at once. Mr. Morrison,
of Illinois, said to-day: “I have a
great mind to secure tbe organiza
tion ofa new Houbo Committee, to
he known as Co nmiltce on Liars,
with Lefevro as Chairman thereof.”
The. Senate caucus committees
of both parties have been ill Bcssion
to-day, and have finished their work
ot rcea ting the membership of the
8ensto Committees. A (tor adjourn
ment tbe chairmen of tho two com*
mittees held a brief conference, at
which it was decided to lay .the re
sult of the labors of the committees
before their rcspeollvo caucuses, to
be called at 10:30 o’olook Monday
morning. If tbo woik is approved
by the eauouscs, Senate committees
will be formally named by the Sen
ate Monday.
On- tbo first regular bill day in
the House, next Monday, there are
■- ready for introduction at leaat 1,000
hills, on various subjeota.
This is evidently going to bo a
big Congress. An xi Smith, Super
intendent of Lite Senate Document
Room, said to day that there had
already been introduced bills and
joint resolutions to within about
8G0 of the total put in duiing tho
two sessions of the last Congress.
In regard to the charge that
Secretary Teller and Senator Dawes
were bribed to secure the passage
of the Cherokee indemnity appro
priation, developments to-day make
matters look a little dubious for

TEETH IS MIGHTY.
Out in Kansas, Nov.—Editor of
tbe Tribune: Night caught me at
a country hotel in Western Kansas.
Around the office stove were gath
ered ranchmen from Colorado and
Kansas. Among tbo ranchmen
were swearing cowboys from Texas
and cultured -Englishmen gradu
ates from Oxford University, who
knew so much Greek and astrono
my that they couldn’t earn a living
in England; so tbeir rich fathers
had “set them up” on a Kansas
sheep ranch.
In the crowd was the usual Colo
rado liar. I can always distinguish-
this professional Colorado liar. He
is not a free talker. He does not
waste words with every man in the
room, but he sits with a scowl on
his brow and his slouch hat pulled
over his eyes. Occasionally be
lifts his eyes from the burning
cigar stub on the hearth and makes
a solemn remark. When he does
speak everybody listens. He lias
something important to say. When
I first noticed him he had his eyes
on the hearth, but one ear was in
clined toward an English rancher
from Oxlord University.
“Speaking of i-eeing long dis
tances,” remarked the Englishman
slowly, “1 have often observed
while standing on the clifls of
Dover, that 1 could see clear scross
tho English Channel to Calais,
Franco, and aw—aw”
“Seventeen miles across, ain’t
it?” interrupted Colorado Kill, as
lie brushed up Ids lint in front.
“Yes, sir—seventeen miles.”

Silver Bill says lie’s stood on the
top of Pike’s Peak and seen the
Missoury river—seen ’em slaugh
tering hogs in Kansas City, an’
playin’ poker in St. Jo, nil’——”
“Why, that ain’t nothing ’tail I”
exclaimed a Kuaterskill Mountain
Yankee who was drumming lor the
Methodist Publication Society.
“ Taint 1” growled Colorado
Blit.
“No, air. Why, we can stand on
the roof of the Kaaterekill Moun
tain House and see—”
“See the North river, ’bout 80
miles off,” interrupted Colorado
Bill, contemptuously.
“No, sir—lurther’n that!”
“P’raps you kin see the Berk-
shire Hills, and mebby you kin
look over ’em and see Boston an’
tbo 'Lantic Ocean?” repeated Bill
honically and with an idea of ex
posing to tho crowd what a bung
ling liar the Yankee was.
“Further’n that—fuither'n that!"
exclaimed tbe Yankee.
“Bolcbew live million dollars y’
can’t,” yelled Colorado Bill, cram
ming bis band down into his pocket
and hauling out a handful of nick
els and 10-cent pieces.
“Why, stranger,” said the Yan
kee, as ho edged himself ncaror the
door, “on an ordinary day from the
Kaaterekill Mountains we can see
mor’n fifty million miles, and—”
“O you git out, you lying fool I"
“Wliy.li'gosh, gentlemen, we can

BABXUl’S WHITE ELEPHANT.
TUB WONDBRPUL ADVENTURE OP HIS
AO ENT IN SECURING IN.
At last the great and only Bamum
bss secured the prize he has covet
ed for half a century in the shape
of a sacred white elephant, and it
is expected that Jumbo will turn
pale with envy, a transformatisn
which will have its advantages.
Fer years Barnum’s agents have
been running fearful risks in Indian
jungles and 8iaroese courts in
order to obtain one of these sacred
beasts; and the tale of tbeir ad
ventures—as told by themselves—
is as wonderful as any of Verne's
romances. Mr. S. B. Gaylord, the
chief agent of Bamum, Bailey A
Hutchinson, went into tbe very
presence of royalty itself, and
actually bad tbe audacity to oiler
the King ofSiam, in person, seated
upon his imperial throne with bis
regal crown upon his sovereign
bead, $100,000 for one of tbe white
elephants that bis court and people
worshiped. When tbe King re
covered from bis astonishment he
sent Mr. Gaylord to his uncles, who
were in charge of the white ele
phants, (it should be understood
that the word “uncle” docs not im
ply a financial relationship in Siam),
and to them Mr. Gaylord repeated
his proposi ion. These worthy
rentlemen were so shocked anil
lorrilied that they implored Mr.
Gaylord to llee from Bangkok, lest
the vengeance of the court and the
Siamese people overtake him for
his blasphemous presumption. Mr.
Gaylord took the hint and never
.topped in bis flight until he reach
ed a British colony.
The facts got abroad in the East
ern world, and Mr. Gaylord finally
obtained a white elephant fioni a
Siamese nobleman, which was pois
oned by Buddhist fanatics the
marring before it was to lie taken
on butrd the steamer for Engkmfl.
But on tlie 2Gtli of last November
Mr. Gaylord finally succeeded in
purchasing for £40,000 a white ele
phant from Woody King Thccbau,
of Burmali. t:.e gentleman who re
cently murdered his wives,and the
beast is now en route for America,
with all the royal documents attest
ing its genuineness.
ALABAMA'S 'marshals.
Washington, Dec. 8.—Tho fol
lowing telegram was received at the
Department ot Justice to-day from
the United States District Attor
ney in Alabama:
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 8.
The United States Cirouit and
District Judges, holding court here,
yesterday, issued a decree remov
ing from office all of United States
Marshal Slrnbucli’s deputies at
Mobile for official misconduct. Mr.
Strobucb has gone to Washington,
having in charge a colored juvenile
prisoner sentenced to tho reform
school in the District of Columbia.
In viuw of the expensive vexations
and trifling cases which deputy
marshals have commenced before
the Commissioners in Alabama, for
trespass upon public lands, the
Judges have ordered that hereafter
no Commissioner of the Circuit
Court of tho United Slates for the
several districts of Alabama sball
issue any warrant or process for
any violation of the laws enacted
for the protection of public timber,
without first securing a certificate
from the District Attorney, bis
sworn assistant, or a special agent
ot the Interior Department, that
they, or either of them, have ex
amined tho case and believe that a
warrant or other process should be
issued.
