4 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 cx-Congrcssman Phillips, ot Kan Gen. Longstreet is for ex-Congress- msn Freeman. John Salley, for many years Chief Clerk of the House of Repre sentatives, will coon be succeeded In that position by Major Thomas OTowle, the present printing and bill eierk of tbe House. Cbas. K. Lacker, of New York, has been appointed newspaper clerk of the House of Representatives, 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.” “ W by, that ai n’t nothin ’, stranger. You kin sec twenty-five miles any. where on this Kansas prairie. Dut if you want to seo a long distance —if you want to seo n hundred or two of miles—go over into Colo rado. Why, over in Colorado on a clear day we kin see Pike's Peak, 150 miles off. Yen, an’ by ginksl 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 see mor’n ninety million miles; we can see clear to the sun, and—” “Well, dogon me I” yollcd Colo rado Bill, “of you liuint the first darned 'tenderfoot’ who ever back- 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.

The agent and operator who were in tbe building at tbe time narrowly escaped being killed by the fallingtimbers. The messenger of tbe Western Union Telegraph Company was buried in tbe debris, but with the exception ot a few bruises came out whole and alive. A negro boy who was on tho platform at tbe time was taken out of the rains dead. No other lives were lost. Telegraphic communication with Florida was foratimeinterrupted, but the wires were soon connected and working.
