A large number of people will read of the wearing out of a number of Senator's throats with a reat deal of indifference, if not positive satisfaction.

A jewpisu was caught on the Pacific coast at Avalon, Cal.. recently by a Mr. Lindley, that tipped the beam at 300 pounds, being the largest of the species ever captured.

The latest evolution of the slot machine gives your weight, plays a strain of the latest popular song, and tells your fortune, all for a nickle. And yet some people talk about hard times and grinding monopolies. The Washington City real estate boom seems to have collapsed, or at least shrunk to a remarkable degree. It is estimated that there are 10,000 vacant houses in that town and real, estate values barely hold to last vear's figures in cases where a large advance was confidently predicted.

In one of his recent efforts, in speaking of Theosophists and their alleged miraculous performances, he said the most remarkable achievement of these mysterious devotees was their success in keeping out of the insane asylum. That will strike the average uninitiated man as a pretty good hit.

There was a great deal of betting in New York on the outcome of the races between the Vigilant and the Valkyrie. Those who lost, as usual, knew that they would lose, but bet as they did against their better judgment. That is generally the way. Men who bet on elections and lose always do so from a patriotic motive, and not for the money they hope to gain. We all know such men, and the subterfuges they invent to cover their losses and chagrin are not the least amusing feature of a hot campaign.

It has been ritrhtlv said the

time to advertise is all the time." The most successful merchants ol

the country are those who have been

the most persistent in keeping their

business before the public. Experi

ence of more than a century has

shown that newspaper advertising is

pre-eminently the best, quickest and

cheapest method. Refprence to the

lues ot tne iNortn American or more

than a hundred vears aro shows that

the wide awake business men in

tnose days were, as now, tne men whose names appeared most fre

quently in its advertising columns.

It has been conservatively estimated

that the merchants of the United

States are spending more than $60,-

000,000 annually for newspaper ad

vertising. A recognized factor in

business since the besrinninsr of

journalism, it has only been within

the last decade that advertising has

reached such proportions and become such a lever in the commercial

world. The shoppers of to-day no

more think of making a purchase

without consulting the columns of

their newspaper than they do of go-;

ing to a place of amusement without

first reading the newspaper criti

TOPICS OFJHESE TIMESBUENOS AYRES. There has not been, nor is there likely to be any extensive emigration from the United States to any part of South America. Still it wiil not be without interest to note a peculiarity not generally known, and seldom spoken of, of a port that is an avowed rival and respectable competitor with New York in all the harbors of Europe for the stream of humanity that continually flows from the over populated countries of the old world in search of a land where the conditions of life will be less burdensome and oppressive. Of late year the Argentine has absorbed vast numbers of immigrants, and the steppes and elevated plains of that Tar off land, when once reached, have afforded profitable employment and comfortable homes to thousands of the down trodden peasants of the East. But in reaching these lands immigrants have had to pass through Buenos Ayres, which if a special correspondent of the Inter-Ocean is at all trustworthy, is a veritable gateway of death. A plague indigenous to that locality, and which does not extend its ravages to the country districts, is an annual visitant that sweeps unknown thousands into eternity with a swiftness and unexampled fatality that is appalling. The epidemic annually appears in January, which is midsummer in that hemisphere, and medical science is powerless to save the victims or stay the progress of the disease. It is uniformly fatal in twenty-four hours after the attack, and can not be diagnosed or given a a name. It is not yellow fever, nor any of the maladies peculiar to tropical countries, but is an unknown and uncontrollable terror that is confined to the city of Buenos Ayres and its suburbs. Native Argentinians ignore it, or always lay it to the filthy habits of the Italian quarter, but the truth seems to be that the disease attacks all classes without discrimination or regard to their habits or nationality. The death rate has been known to rise as high as three hundred a day. and coffins rise to fabulous prices, while hundreds of corpses are of necessity buried in trenches like the dead on a battlefield. The rudest pine boxes sell for $50 and even the demand for these can not bo filled. Twice as many men die of the disease as women, while very few children are carried off by the epidemic.

both Governors plead the cause of their people for this much desired recognition. The outlook for this consummation is not good. There is a growing sentiment among public men against any further admissions of States with inadequate population, and the only probable way for Arizona and New Mexico to attain statehood is to unite and sock admission as one State. The great State that could thus be formed could hardly be denied immediate admission, and we would then have a mate for Texas, with an area for an empire of 235,000 square miles.

HIGH TIDE IN PENSIONS. The enormous increase in the number of pensioners during the last few years is thought by many to have carried the pension roll to high tide, and it is believed that already the number of persons receiving bounty for service or disability has begun to diminish and the expenditures made necessary on that account are beginning to be perceptibly lighter. The public in general will be surprised at such a statement, but the records of July and August have proved that such is the fact. On July 1 there were 01)0,012 names on the roll; Sept. 1 the number had fallen to 'Ju'4,398. Pensiou authorities now calculate that in a year the net decrease at this rate should be 2,t!84, or ratht-r that in that period 50,000 names wiil be dropped from the rolls and only 40.000 added. The impression, however, is general that this rate of decrease wiil not as yet be sustained. Commissioner Haum estimated that high water mark for the pension roll would not be reached until the middle of 1804, when the number would be about 1,200.000, requiring an appropriation of $188.000,000 per annum. Mr. Raum's iigures may have been exaggerated, but the roll will more than likely reach 1,000,000 before the ebb tide sets in. THE GULF DISASTER.

Three great battle ships have been lost within the last three months. The Victoria, of the English navy, went down because of a mistake of her commander. The Havtien crusier Alexander Petion and the Russian ship Pousalka succumbed to the ordinary perils of navigation. Peace seems to be more dangerous than war to the modern castles of iron that try to float the waves in modern times. Safety has been sacrificed to solidity and strength. The thickness of their armor has increased in proportion to the weight of guns and powers of projectiles until the battle ship of the day seem to be more dangerous to its crew than to the enemy it is constructed to exterminate.

Th Senate was In executive session. Friday, till 3 o'clock. Many nominationwere confirmed. Tho repeal bill was then taken up and Mr. Peffer offered a tree joinaffe amendment. With some slight

3Xceptions, it revives tho law of 1837. Mr. Peffer then resumed his speech against :he bill. Mr. Turpie of Indiana immeiiately called him to order for rcferrinto Senators by name. The chair sustained the point of order, ruling that a Senator ihould be spoken of as the junioror senior Senator from the State ho in part reprfcr ients. Mr. Peffer followed the ruling of iho chair and proceeded with his speech intil 5 o'clock, when, upon motion of Mr. Faulkner, the Senate took a recess until 10 o'clock, Saturday morning. In the Senato Saturday as soon as a luorum was secured from the recess taken Friday, Mr, Peffer resumed his speech against the repeal bill. Mr, Jones sesured the lloor and spoke against repeal. He said the cause of hard times was 'falling prices." After Mr. Jones bad ipoken for several hours, Mr. Voorhees isked him if it would be agreeable for aim to yield tho floor. Mr, Jones replied lhat as he expected to speak for

several days, he would wiilngly yield for a time. Mr. Voorhees then yielded to Senator tlarris, of Tennesee, who arose to a quos;ion of personal privilege. He denounced i reported interview with himself in a .Vew York paper as false in every particuar. Mr. Voorhees then moved an execuiive session, after which the Senate, at (: 15, took a recess until Monday at 10 a.m. Monday's session of the Senate was without interest, the time being principally occupied by Messrs. Jones, Stewart inu Teller in advocacy of free coinage, but ittle attention was paid to their remarks. iVt 3:40 Mr. Teller said that his throat :roubled him, and yielded the floor withut concluding his speech. Mr. Stewart .hen spoke until 5 o'clock, and yielded the ioor without concluding his speech, when ihe Senato took a recess until Tuesday norning. The Senate recess expired at 10:30, Tueslay morning, but a quorum w as not secured until 10;45. Mr. Stewart resumed his speech against tho repeal bill. At 1:30, without concluding his speach, he yielded the floor to Mr. Jones, who remnied his argument against the bill. Mr. McPherson interrupted with the remarkthat he thought if gold had appreciated interest would have gone up and "labor have gone down, wh areas in the past ten r fifteen years United States bonds had ?one down from 5 to 2 per cent, while labor had gone up in irregular increasing ratios. If gold had gone up as was alleged Mr. McPherson expressed his inability to understand how a country on a ?old basis could stand these conditions. Mr. Jones at 4 o'clock said there was no lesire among those on his side of the question to consume time unnecessarily, but as he was tired ho would yield the

floor and allow his colleague, Mr, Stewart, to resume his speech and he would

ask the indulgence of tho Senato to proseed at some other-time. Mr. Faulkner, Df West Virginia, being satisfied that the remarks of Mr. Jones correctly stated the

oosition of tne opponents of the bill.

moved that thotSenate take a recess until 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. Tho motion was agreed to. The continuous session of Tuesday ol iast week, of the Senate, was resumed, Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, after the customary recess. No quorum was present, out the business proceeded without a roll

svas referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Sherman reported back from the committee on foreign relations the House joint resolution tendering the acknowledgnents of the Government and people ol ;he United States to tho various foreign rovernments for their generous and effectve contributions to the Chicago exposition, and that it be put upon its passage, rhe joint resolution was read. It declare t to be the sense of Congress that the accnowledgment of tho Government and jeople of the United States be tendered ;o the various foreign governments of the tf-orld who have so generously and efToctvely co-operated in the quadro-centen-lial exposition at Chicago in commemoation of the discovery of America by Columbus. The second clause directs that i certified copy of the resolution be pre

pared in suitable terms by the Secretary f State and shall bo forwarded through the customary diplomatic ;hannels to the respective foreign govsrnments. Mr. Hoar disapproved of ihe form of the resolution. He thought ;he matter should be conducted with more seroraony. Soon after tho resolution was Lgain taken up and passed in an amended orm, in accordance with Mr. Hoar's suggestion. The second part of tho joint esolut' n now reads: "That the Presilent of the United States be requested to communicate to each foreign government jvhich has participated in said exposition ihe acknowledgments of Congress for its contribution When the silver purchase epeal bill was taken up, Mr. Pugh adlressed the Senato in opposition to it.

Admiral -,tnton Promptly Removed Fr

aunimd at Ri ode Jaoelro.

The i TcrnrHory -removal of Commodore and acUn Ucar Admiral Stanton, stationed at iliodo Janoiro, Brazil, from the command of tho South Atlantic station, was one of the most startling inirprise over experienced in Washington officially, and for a time it has almost obscured the interest in the silver fight. President Cleveland took action after a long conference with the Secretaries of Stat and the Navy, and when put in possession, of all the facts, and of snch further information as Senhor Mendonca, the Brazilian minister in Washington, was able to furnish. The ofiicial order was briefly made public by Secretary Herbert in the following memorandum: "The Navy Department learned by authority late Wednesday, by telegram from Rear Admiral Stanton, in command of the Unitod States naval forces at Rio de Janeiro, that this officer had saluted the flag of Admiral Alello, commanding the insurgent fleet. This salute was unathorized by any instructions the Admiral had received.

it was an unfriendly act toward a Triendly power, and the Secretary of the Navy, after consulting with the President and Secretary of State, issued an order ictaching Admiral Stanton from the command of his squadron and turning it over to Captain Picking, the next in rank, i'hfs was in reply to a telegram of inquiry." In the State and Navy Departments of Gcials were incredulous as to the possibility of there being any truth in tho report published in the Berlin Nord Deutsch Zeitung, and cabled to America, Tuesday. Oommodoro Stanton had been specially selected for this post of duty because he svas considered to possess in a pre-eminent legree those qualitications of coolness and iiscretion which litted him to deal with the revolutionary conditions prevailing in the various countries to which his assignment would naturally call him. Naval officers who know Commodore Stanton are utterly at a loes to understand how he came to make so serious a mistake, if such it can be called. Secretary Herbert expresses his surprise that an o nicer of Stanton's experience and standing should commit such a blunder, ind his prompt action is taken with the purpose of announcing to the world that -he United States has taken no steps to refuse recognition to the legally constituted Brazilian Government.
