vened to occasionally discuss special subjects. The latier will not participate in legislation. but will assist legislation by giving voice to classes hitherto inarticulate. The initiative of legislation rests wholly with the council of ministers, but its projects must be submitted to legislative council becoming laws. In the evnet of irreconcilable differences between the two bodies, the decision will probably be left to the Khedive. MURDERS IN MADAGASCAR. Details of th© Killing of Two Citizens of Boston by Natives. Boston, Jan. 17.—The London Daily News of Jan. 4. which has just been received here, contains the following: Several weeks ago we stated that two murders of white persons had taken place on that iart of the coast of Madagascar where the French government had refused to permit the Malagasy authorities to land troops in support of their authority. We have now received from a correspondent the following details dated Southwest Coast, Madagascar, Sept. 11), 1882: “Messrs. Emerson and Hulett, Americans, of Boston. U. S. A., who came via Natal, arrived at Morondava some months since, and, after traveling in the interior, from there came south to Nos Vey, where they procured the services of M. T. Parent, a French native of Bourbon, who had been in Madagascar about seventeen years, anrt was well acquainted with the language, to act as guide and interpreter. They left Tullear on the 9th inst., with the intention of proceeding to the Antanos country. On the following day, about noon, they arrived at a watering place, where they rested for some time. They here met with a number of Bara and Mahafaly people, who had a few cattle, and were apparently on the way to the beach to sell the cattle at St. Augustine’s. They appeared quite friendly, and nothing hostile was observed in their manner. On resuming the journey they proceeded about half a mile, and were near some tamarind trees and bush, when, without the slightest warning, shots were fired, and Mr. Emerson, who was slightly in advance, fell shot in the breast, and died immediately. After this out rushed about forty or fifty men (the same they had seen at the watering place) with spears and attacked the others. The bearers, eight or nine Antanos men carrying luggage, threw down their packages and fled to the b. sh, one African named Silicarike getting killed with spears. “Mr. Hulott, who happened to be a little way behind, went to an Antanos (Cravat; who was carrying his revolver, but he was afraid to give it to Mr. Hulett, and advised him to run or he would certainly be killed, as they were now alone, and while altercating a party of the natives came on them, so they turned and ran, the natives throwing spears, and Mr. Hulett and the Antanos were both wounded in the legs. After getting some distance the Antanos dropped the revolver, which Mr. Hulett recovered, and, although much exhausted, turned upon his pursuers, who thereupon went into the bush and returned to the main body. Mr. Hulett, seeing that his feeble resistance would be of no avail, went off into the hush with the Antanos, and they hid themselves till midnight, when they went buck to a village they had passed before on the journey up, and lured some people to carry them to Tullear, where they arrived on Monday evening, the 11th inst., and where they now are, both very ill in consequence of their wounds A friend of the Americans hired about twenty men, with whom he proceeded to the scene of the murders, and found and recognized the dead bodies of Messrs. Emerson and Parent and the African, mutilated with spear wounds.” THE GERMAN FLOODS. An Authoritative Statement of Losses in Several Districts. Boston, Jan. 17.—The following cable dispatch from the Imperial German foreign office at Berlin has been received by S. B.

VOTING FOR SENATORS. Hon. Shelby M. Cullom Elected to Succeed Hon. David Davis. Mr. Hoar Lacks a Few Votes in Massachusetts—Organizing Opposition to Mr. McPherson—The Other States. ILLINOIS. Governor Cullom Elected on Joint Rallot— Sketch of His Political Services. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Springfield, 111., Jau. 17.—Governor Cullom was elected United States senator today, receiving every Republican vote on joint ballot except that of Senator Adams, of Cook, who did not vote. Ilia majority is twelve, in spite of all rumors of bolting. It is understood he will not vacate the gubernatorial chair for some days yet. Governor Shelby M. Cullom has been one of the most successful politicians in the country. He is in his fifty-fourth year, having been born in Kentucky in 1529. He was brought up on a farm, and received his education entirely in the common schools, with the exception of two years in the Rock River Seminary, at Mount Morris, this State, where he obtained a knowledge of the classics and achieved a school reputation as a mathematician. He studied law afterward. He came to Springfield In 1853, and entered the law-office of Stuart & Edwards. He was in delicate health, and was strongly advised to abandon the law; but he persisted, improved somewhat in physical vigor and soon began to achieve a position in his profession. • In 1855 he was elected city atttorney of Springfield, and the next year he was chosen a presidential elector for Fillmore on the Whig ticket, and at the same time elected to the Legislature, receiving both the Whig and Free-soil votes of his county. In 1860 he was re-elected to the Legislature, and was made Speaker of the House. lie was defeated for the State Senate in 1862, and in ISG4 he was elected to Congress by a majority of 1,593 iu the Sangamon district, which had, up to that lime, been 1,700 Democratic. He was re-elected in 1866 ami 1868, the last time defeating Judge R S. Edwards, a member of the firm with whom he had studied and practiced law. During liis term in Congress he introduced a bill known as the Cullom anti-Mormon bill, which was almost identical in its scheme with' the present Edmunds law. It is a matter of history that this bill procured for him the distinction of being several times burned in effigy in Utah. He was again elected to the Legislature in 1872, and made Speaker of the House; reelected in 1874, and defeated for Speaker by a combination of Democrats and Independents. In 1876 Governor John L. Beveridge and Thomas S. Ridgeway were both candidates for the governorship. Cullom entered the field airninst them, and was nominated on the first ballot, and led the ticket at the election by several thousand votes. He was renominated in 1880 over Thomas S. Ridgeway, Gen. John I. Rilinker, Gen. J. B. Hawley and the late Col. Green bury L. Fort, being again elected. This term would have expired in 1884. Governor Cullom is wonderfully popular at home, and is allowed on all hands to have the most remarkably open and frank manspeaks fluently, and is the very embodiment ners in liis dealings with men. He is not specially an orator, but of good, sound, bard sense. It is said that no man in the State can approach him in the skill with which he obliges the most puzzling of problems to solve themselves and furnish their own vindication for the decision. Although his candidacy for the senatorship has met stubborn opposition, the final result has been reached in the utmost good feeling, and Governor Cullom will go into the Senate fully equipped amiable to achieve a distinguished position in that body.

THE OTHER STATES. Attorney-General Stockton Enters the Field Against Mr. McPherson. Trenton, Jan. 17.—Attorney-general Stockton arrived from Cuba this noon, and was closeted with Leon Abbott and Governor Ludlow for several hours this afternoon. It is understood a powerful combination was formed against Senator McPherson. The Senator desired that the caucus be held this week, but could not get the members together. The opposition consider this delay favorable to their pros;ects. It is believed Attorney-general Stockton will be the antiMcPherson candidate, and if he is successful, Leon Abbott will be appointed Attorneygeneral. Senator McPherson is not in the city. Mr. Windom's Chances. St. Paul, Jan. 17.—Two ballots were taken in the joint convention to-day. Mr. Windom receive 65 votes on the first and 61 on the second —a dead loss from yesterday. It is believed his chances are much depreciated. A caucus of his friends is called for this evening. There are sixteen candidates, and it is impossible to name the coming man. Fifty three Republican members of the Legislature attended the Witulom caucus tonight. It is said 47 voted for a resolution to continue to vote for him. He has lost four or five votes in every ballot so fur, until now lie is fifteen votes short of a majority. The resolution of the caucus, however, promises a prolonged contest. Gordon E. Cole is being talked of as a prominent candidate. but the anti-Windoru men may try to concentrate on Governor Hubbard. Mr. Hoar Lacks a Few Votes. Boston, Jan. 17.—The first joint ballot in the Legislature for United States senator, resulted:! Hoar, 129; Long, 41; Bowerman, 90; C'rapo. 11; all others, 30. Necessary to a choice, 138.

In Cincinnati a certain excellent archbishop, through ignorant zeal, became involved in difficulties. Another man would have been placed in jail. Iu sorrow I refer to Archbishop Purcell. We have had among the priests of this diocese transactions that would shock the moral sense of the community had we not, in blind infatuation, beaten off all attempts at investigation.” Obituary.

FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS. THE SENATE. Brief Debate on tiie Postoffice Dill—Further Consideration of the Tariff. Washington, Jan. 17.— Mr. Edmunds Introduced, by request, a bill to provide for the appointment of a commission to investigate the subject of railroad transportation, and expressed the opinion that the matter was worthv of consideration, he believing that some sort of regulation was required. The conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill was then considered. Mr Davis, referring ta the item for necessary and special facilities on trunk lines of railway, thought the word “trunk” designated and confined the benefit of the appropriation to two railroads—the Pennsylvania and the New York Central. The wiiole nppronriariou went to these two roads and one city—Now York. M r Plumb said the gentleman was mistaken, and sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a letter from the superintendent of the mail service showing how $185,000 for this purpose had been expended, and recommending that, if a similar appropriation was made at this session, there would boa continuance of the existing service this year. At the conclusion of the explanation of the bill by Mr. Plumb, debate ensued. Mr. Maxey thought the people west of the Mlsslssipi as well entitled aa any others to these nniil facilities, and, unless the benefits could be fsin lr distributed, they ought to be discontinued entirely. After further debate and the adoption of an amendment striking out the House provision relating to compensation to be paid the Pacific railroads for mail service, the morning hour expired and the bill went over. A motion to postpone consideration of the tariff bill was lost by the following vote: Yeas—Messrs. Barrow, Butler, Call, Cameron, of Wisconsin; Chilcott, Cockrell, Coke, Davis, of West Virginia: Garland, Grover, Hampton, Ingalls, Jackson, Johnson, Jonas, Jones, of Florida; Kellogg, Lauiar, Maxey, Morgan, Plumb, Pugh, Hansoiu, Saulsburv, Vance, Vest and Walker—29. Nays—Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Anthony, Beck, Blair, Camden. Cameron, of Pennsylvania; Conger, Davis, of Illinois; Edmunds, George, Gorman, Groome. Harrison, Hauler, Hill, Hoar, Jones, of Nevada; McMahon.'MeDlel, McMillan, Miller, of California; Miller, of New York: Morrill, Pendleton, Platt, Rollins, Sawyer, Sewell, Sherman and Slater—3l. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on finance, reported n bill to authorize the Second National Bank of Xenia, 0., to increase its capital stock. Mr. Conger presented a communication from the Detroit Board of Trade iu relation to improvement of the Detroit river. The Beuate resumed consideration of the tariff bill. Mr. Beck said if he should determine to offer amendments to rlie amendments offered yesterday by Mr. Morrill to the paragraph lowering alcoholic preparations, he would reserve them until the bill should have been reported to the Senate from the committee of the whole. Mr. Beck moved to reduce the rate on china, porcelain, parian and Bisque ware from 60 to 50 per cent, ad valorem. Mr. Coke said the whole schedule of earthenware and glassware was from 14 to 20 per ceut. higher than the present tail fir, and this increase was presented in a bill purporting to reduce taxation, and upon a class of goods used in every house. Mr. Maxey called attention to the fact that whil the average duty under the existing tariff was only 43*e per cent., this bill professing to reduce the duties, proposed a rate of 60 per cent, upon tins Hass of goods used by all the people. This “Infant industry” wag one of the younger daughters of the horse-leech; but it had already learned the err, “Give!” “Give!” There was plenty of fine kaolin in Texas, and probably factories would be established there in lime, but any manufactory that could not sustain itself under a protection of 50 per cent, ought to go down. Mr. Sherman said that prior to 1863 there was no white earthen ware made in the United States, and that this might be properly spoken of as an “infant industry.” Tne beet materials for this kind of manufacture were to be found iu abundance in Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other States, ami under the operations of the turitf an enormous industry for rnls kind had sprung up wlthiu the last twenty years. In East Liverpool, 0., there were over 100 furnaces engaged in producing this beautiful ware, and he understood the production in New Jersey was large. The result was, rhe price of ordinary china ware has been reduced to tine-nan, alid in gome msM, what it was before. In glassware, a still more remarkable result has been achieved, loainly by the c .pital and ingenuity of a gentleman In Indiana. Tne price of the ware has been greatly reduced, while in quality it was superior to any glass. Such has been the results of home competition under the tariff, but uow these industries wore languishing. In New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana, the glass manufacture is struggling for existence. Mr. Beck said that when the report of tile tariff commission first came out he had thought it entitled to great consideration, but he was uow satisfied it deserved uone at all, because tne commission had merely recommended what was prepared for it by interested parties. Th© debate becoming protracted, Mr. Edmunds inquired whether it would be in order to move lo Lvy a tax of 50 per cent, advalorem on the debate. Mr. Plumb thought a apecifio duty would yield more revenue. Mr. Beck’s amendment was rejected-yeas, 20; nays. 21. Mr. Bock moved to make the duty on plain white chinaware 45 per oent. Lost-yeas, 21; nays, 29. He then moved to make it 50 per cent. Lost. Mr Vance moved to make the rate on other earthen, stone and crockery wares, ornameufed nnd not specially provided for, 25 instoad of 50 percent. Lost. Mr. Beek moved to make it 40 percent. Lost. In debate on these latter amendments, Mr. Plumb Buhl he was unwilling to accept the interests or requirements of manufacturers or Importers as a basis for legislation on this subject, and he ventured to prophesy that any tariff bill which rested exclusively upon thut basis would never hecotue a law, but would beget a mosi unhappy feeling among the people. In regard t the whole suoject, he thought it would be wise to pay somewhat less attention to the demands or manufacturers and more to the wants of the people, who had to pay ull the taxes.

THE HOUSE. Mr. Doxey Sworn In—Proposed New Commission on Venezuela Claims. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 17.—Mr. Belford presented a memorial for the establishment of railway communication with Central and South America. Referred. On motion of Mr. Browne, Charles T. Doxey was sworn in as representative from the Ninth Indiana district, to succeed the late Mr. Orth. Mr. Rice, of Massachusetts, called uo the special order, being the joint resolution providing fora new mixed commission, in accordance with I lie treaty of April 25, 1866, with Venezuela. Tiie joiut resolution requests tiie President to open correspondence with the government of Venezuela with a view to tiie appointment of anew commission to sit at Washington, to consider the evidence submitted to the former commission, and directs that tiie inoneva now in charge of tiie Department of State, received from Venezuela ou account of awards, be distributed pro rata iu payment of the same. After consuming an hour and a half in reading tiie report on Mr. Rice's resolution, pending discussion, Mr. Pettibone, of Tennessee, submitted a unanimous report, of tiie ele.ctlnns committee in favor of the claim of J. T. Caine to he admitted as a delegate from Utah, and Mr. Caine was sworn in. Mr. Rice then resumed bis argument, applying to the House to pas* the joint resolution. Mr. Blount thought Congress should view with care and suspicion the claims of American citizens against the republics of South America, Instancing the Shepherd claim. Mr. Williams said th© honor of the country required that everything of which Venezuela complained should b© Investigated. ft had been investigated by the oommittee on foreign affairs, and tills joiut lefeo.ution was the result of that labor. Mr. Wilson, of W’ost Virginia, made a constitutional argument against the power or Congress to legislate upon this question. The Joint resolution was a manifest encroachment upon the treaty-making power, and he protested against Its passage. The Joint resolution was then passed. Mr. O’Neill, of Pennsylvania, presented a memorial of the tin-plate manufacturers of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Mis-ouri, asking for retention of tiie high duties ou tin-plate. Referred. Adjourned. Meeting of Rubber Manufacturers. Nr.w York, Jan. 17.—The rubber manufacturers met again to-day. Representatives of twenty-nine of the largest manufacturing companies present.

It was stated that the manufacturers of other rubber goods still continue at a reduction of 25 per cent. MRS. LANGTRY’3 LIFE. She Tells Her Own Story in Her Own Way, Modestly and as a Lady. To tho Editor of tits Globs-Democrat. “The Southern,” Jan. 16, 1883. Dear Sir—You desire a few details of my early life, as much has been published of an erroneous nature concerning it. I was horn in the Isle—not the State—of Jersey, twentyeight years ago. My father was dean of the island, and senior dean of the United Kingdom. My grandfather and great grandfather also belonged to the clergy—all were dignitaries of the church. My mother was a Scotchwoman. I had six brothers, and all but one were older than I. I was the only girl. I led a most retired life, sharing my brothers’ pursuits and receiving the same education, until I reached my twentieth year. Then I married Mr. Edward Langtry, and passed a six months’ honeymoon on a yacht. Two years subsequently 1 went to London—chiefly to seek the advice of a physician, as 1 had just recovered from a severe attack of typhoid fever, and I dreaded its consequences. My entrance into London social life dates from a party at Lady Sebright’s. Thenceforward I was invited everywhere and treated with the greatest kindness and consideration. During three seasons I figured incessantly in London society. Meanwhile, the great expense connected with social pleasures, and the Irish troubles—my husband being an Irish landowner and largely dependent for his income upon his property in Ireland—exhausted our means. It became necessary for me to earn a livelihood. I had a strong inclination for the stage, and iny husband sanctioned it. My family in Jersey was shrunken; four of my brothers had died—my favorite brother was killed by a fall in the hunting field—so the prospect of absence from England was less distressing than it might have been. Mr. Langtry strove and is striving to do his share toward restoring our fortunes, and regrets, as much as I do, that he is unable, on that account, to accompany me to America. That is my whole story. Since I arrived here my life has been a public one; I have had nothing to conceal alid have nothing to excuse, content in the beiief that falsehood and malignity will in the end defeat themselves without effort on my part. Yours truly, Lily Langtry.

Th© Madonna in th© Flames. Milwaukee Sentinel, A small enameled copy of Raphael’s wellknown picture of the Madonna della Segglola at Florence, the companion picture of the beautiful Madonna dei Candelabri, now on exhibition in the loan collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York city, in an ornamental frame, was found by Captain O’Connor and brought to the Central Station. It was ascertained that it belonged to Mrs. Win. E. Cramer, the wife of the editor of the Evening Wisconsin. It was covered with dirt and cinders and the iron frame in which it was held was melted and run together. The dirt was wiped away from the picture, and there, pure and spotless, was the virgin face. The pleading eyes of the Virgin, with the peacefully folded arms and saintly attire, were there untouched and unsullied by the destroying flames. It was found near the body of Miss Chellis, wrho, it will be remembered, died in the sight of the whole agonized crowd below, calmly kneeling in prayer in the embrasure of a window, her head bowed upon her hands. Miss Chellis was a devout Catholic. School of Pharmacy for Women. LOUiaU>MB, Ky., Jt.

At 10 o'clock Dr. Hawn walked into tho office, and in his,' characteristic good-humor remarked: “Mr. Myers, tho cares of State are now upon you. llnre are your keys, and now all I want is a receipt.” With this the old was out and the new in. “X don’t like to see tho old man go,” was a common remark with visitors at the State building, but one proudneut Democrat of the State said: “I would have uo objections to my friend Myers waiting two years longer before taking his office.” However, none will miss Dr. Hawn more than the reporters who have been brought into dally association with lnm. Upon meeting informally in thejofflee of the Secretary .yesterday afternoon, the following testimonial was addressed to him, and was presented with appropriate remarks m behalf of the members of the press by 11. U. Brown, of the News: “Hon. E. R. Hawn: “Sir—The period of our professional and social intercourse with you has been exceptionally pleasant and agreeable. It is with our slncerest regrets that these relations are brought to an end by your retiring from office as Secretary of State.

With best wishes, “Will Foil tune, Journal“SCOTT C. Bonk, Times. “Charles N. Maynaiu>, Sentinel. “H. U. Brown, News. “(J. Mayer, German Telegraph.” It Is well near impossible for a public official to avoid, to some extent, a tendency to favoritism toward certuin reporters in giving out news, and with the rivalry which exists between the representatives of the press, they are not slow to discover the slightest discrimination. It, was one of Dr. Hawn’s inflexible principles not to permit what, iu the idioui of the press, is known as a “scoop” upon the most insignificant item of news in his department. At all times courteous and obliging, he was the friend of every newspaper man, and tne friendship was mutual. Good-natured, ready in conversation, and with an inexhaustible fund of anecdote, he lias been their social nucleus, and his oftica has been their rendezvous. There are few persons upon whom rival newspaper reporters, with their kuowledge of men, can or would unite iu such an expression as the above. Dr. Hawu is one of tho very few. Ho was quite overcome by the unexpected testimonial, and feelingly respouded in a few words. That Alleged Windfall.
