S.PZC1SIYE VOTE TO BE TAKES TO-DAT IKOBAEILITY THAT TllEr CCLLOM BILL WILL BE PASSED. Feb. 3. Before tbe Senate adjourned yesterday an Informal agreement wut made to reach a rote on the Interstate Commerce bill With that obju- lu view Mr. Cullom called up the measure before the expiration of the morning hour, aud the whole session was ipvat iu its aicussion.

Late in the afternoon it was evident that an evening would have to be held If a llnal was had to-day, and so the Senators agreed to take the decisive vote to-morrow and went home to dinner. The discusMuns thus, far have made It very plain that the Iteasran bill sent to the Senate froitv the House of Representatives cannot command a majority In tho Senate, where Mr. Cullom's measure providing for a commission to investigate and report upon the subject, willundoubt-ily be parsed as a substitute -for the House The plan of the Sen-ute Hi by warm friends of the measure is to adopt the Cullom bill a an amendment to the House measure, and thus tend the matter to a conference committee, taking good Care tfiat that committee shall reach no agreement before the adjournment of Congress. In the debute to-day Mr. Vance opened tbe discussion with a characterisric'speech 10 support of tlio Itea'iran with stories und anecdotes that pleased his bearer.

Mr. Ilcck. who is the special" clinmpion of the Keupan bill, denounced Mr. Cullom's measure a) a cunningly de-ied scheme to appear to be doing something a hile doiuz nothing at alL Hisplain huiguiuru provoked tho Illinois Fenator Into a very M'iritwl defense of his bill and a bitter Hlta upon that received lrom the lloiihe. r.

l'himb tried to break the force of Mr. Heck's arguments by Interrupting him with epilations, but he received such ready answers' that he soon subsided. Mr. Mierman made an earnest speech in opposition to the Keajran bill arid lu supiiort of the Senate bill. He holds the oplniou that tentative measure will be a wiker one to adopt than one which at-tompts too mueh at nce.

1 Mr. Keiin i. of NVet Virginia, who en-lovs the distinction of Ueinir the youngest renator in year and one of the vouuest lu length of service, followed Mr. Sherman, making tiis maiden elT.ort in tbe toiiate Chamlwr. Home of the Senators were inclined to frown upon the younjr man for presuming to argue.

with them when he hail been in the Senate only a little more than a year, but before he finished most of those in the Chamber had taken seats uetir him and were giving cIosm attention to what he had to say, Mr. Ketina.wbo spoke without man nsenpt. made a vigorous plea for the Keagan bill und pointed out that white it opponents found fault with its language they would neither suggest improvements nor allow them to Im adopted. Jlis spcial point was a denial that the Keagau bill was designed in uuv way to regulate the question of freight or passenger rates. Its sole purpose was to secure equality of charges tor e-ualily of service.

CIVIL SERVICE IGNORANCE. A good deal of ignorance of the powers end purposes of the Civil Service Commissioners is being manifested by Democrats uboutthi time, and it maybe displayed more boldly before the month is out. In the font this morning an editorial paragraph says: "The animus of tho recent char-res airalnst Judire TUuinun, of tho Civil Service Commission, remains to tie discovered, but It may be irueaged at- It not altogether certain that tbe charges orhiumted In Ohio. It la not Improbable that they were Instituted from Washington. The theory that ut thu particular juncture his ab-s ui-e from the Hoard of Commissioners would be more imiataMo than his presence on account of bis indisposition to enlarge the scope of the tlvll wrvice luw In the Interest or employes of the Government who are in danger of beinst di-lurtfd chunire of Administration Is not without reasonableness." -The idea that the Civil Service Commissioners can do anything by a change of claisitication to protect officeholders whom Kcpublicans desire to be kept in olliee would bo dispelled bv an examination of the law and rules, the sixth section of the civil service law savs that the classification shall be made "by the heads of departments and the President.

The fact that the clasaiflcation Is not uniform, that it differs in several departments indicates the freedom of those departments lrm absolute control by the Commissioners in this regard. The rules iu first submitted by the Commissioners to the President on May 4, lusa, made no exo-ption in favor of chief clerks or chiefs or division. Through the interference of Mr. Kolgcr it was understood that rule id was- so changed as to take thev officers out of reach of tue rules. Those grades include 40 or Ml persons in the departmental service here and several pervons In the larcer Custom Houses, li or 13 being the number in the New-York Custom House.

If the rule had been left as originally drawn there would have been no cause tor uueasiness now in Democratic minds, ecretary McCulloch's recent order classifying the force in the Treasury Department and including all employes above in the (fourth grade will have no force to prevent removals if the Demo-cat are determined to make-them. Tbe rules stipulate that chiefs of divisions shall not le renuired to uudergo examination, and if the Democrats are determined to have new chiefs and entirely preen ones there is no law to obstruct them, it should be said for the Republicans that, the plaoes or chief clerks and chiefs of divisions have since the law wt-nt Into operation teen filled by promotion from the lower grades, and not by outside appointments, so that there ha been uo inote 'spoil- patronage than there would have been it these oftloers were not excepted out of the list for which examinations were required. The uniform practice has b.eu to promote out or the laiiicd service. MATTKKS In'the HOUSE. A session which produced uo other result ihan a copy of the record filled with fruit- les roll calls was that of yesterday, and It was the result of a determination ou the Mi by Mr.

Kads does not lack for friends who believe with Mr. Jones, of Alabama, that Kaa is the "Napoleon of engineer." and that he ought, therefore, to be decorated with honors and great emoluments. It is hardly, possible that tbe bill can be finished to-morrow.

MR. EVA UTS HAS NO CERTIFICATE. Gov. Hill will probably be called upon to furuish the Senate of the United States with a certificate of the election cf the Hon. William M.

Evarts as Senator to succeed Mr. Lapham. All the States thnt have recently elected Senators have complied with the provisions of the Revised Statutes which require that it shall be the duty of the Executive of the State from which any Senator has been chosen to certify his election, under the 6eal of the State, to the of the Senate of the United States." Gov. Marmaduke, of Missouri, alllxed his signature to the certificate presented to show Mr. Vest's right to his seat for six years from March 4, and the gold seal of the state was stamped upon the document.

From Rhode Island comes a cert i ate in the name of the Captain-General and Governor of Rhode and Providence Plantations, "signed by Gov; Mourn and the Secretary of State, certifying to the election of Jonathan Chace. Under the seal of the State fluttered a little blue ribbon that was not strictly in keeping with the severe style of the Quaker Senator. To-day'the Senate listened to the read-ins of a report from the Legislature of tho State of New-iYork, evidently a transcript of the journal of the joint convention of tbeSeuateandAssemhly.lt was unique, for no other s-tate sends such a report. It brought no certificate with it, and although there is no doubt among Senators as to who was chosen Senator, the law has not been complied with. A smile Illumined the faces of the grave and reverend members of the bodywben, instead of ordering the.

credentials on file, the, matter was referred to the Committee on' Privileges and Elections. It is not known liere whether the authorities of the State of New-York have neglected to consult the statutes or whether they have forgotten to finish up the work of electing Mr. EvarU in a workmanlike manner. AN ALLEGED DYNAMITE A London dispatch printed here this afternoon announced that correspondence ha lately taken place between the United States and Russia relative to a treaty being entered into bet weeu the two Governments for the extradition of persons concerned in dynamite outrages. far as can be learned uo such correspondence has taken place.

Mr. de Struve, the Russian Minister, said to-night that the dispatch was news to him. He knew nothing of any correspondence of the kind, he thought from tbe position he held he would be quite apt to know something about such a matter, if there was anything to know. thank you," Mr. de Struve added, "for coming to see me about it.

for it it is true I would like to know it. and I will make inquiries about it at the State Department to-morrow." FAVORITISM IN REBATES.

Considerable excite ment was produced to-day "by the announcement that the friends of Cunnins- ham, who is accused of havinp; caused the dynamite explosion at the Tower of London, are already beginning: to take steps to rescue him from Clerkenwell Prison. where be is at present confined.

London. Feb. 3. The reader in this even ing's Pall Mall Gazette advocating a polit ical alliance between the Empire of Great Britain and the Republio of the United States of America attracts attention. The American Republic, the Gazette says, is now" at last beginning to have a foreign policy.

The doctrine of complete isolation so long maintained by American statesmen has perished. Minister Kassbn's presence and activity at the Berlin conference on the Congo, question must be taken as a portent of things to come. America will continue to exert a great and increasing influence in the work of pacifying Africa. The Republic will ere long claim admittance into the European Areopagus whenever dealintr with questions pertaining to interests outside the boundaries of the Euro pean continent, i.nsrlaud 'sduty. therefore, the Gazette contends, is to make the most of this great fact- Blood is thicker than water.

The United States is England's natural ally, After tho federation of the lintisti empire there will remain for British statesmen no task comparable in im portance with that of the conclusion of an alliance between Great Britain and the great Republio which has sprung from England's loins. This alliance, the article concludes, will be as close and useful to the two great English-speaking peoples as that bet weeu Austria and Germany. The Pout, in a special article this mornine, says America's recent activity in Chili, Peru, Africa, and Corea indicates her intention of having a foreign policy. The question is one of considerable importance to England. The policy adopted by Mr.

Cleveland upon assuming the oftlce of President will be watched with keen interest here. The adoption of free trade would mean increased intercourse with the world at large, and would compel America to admit the existence of a regular foreign policy aud to defend her interests in Asia and Africa against European attacks. PORTUGAL SEIZES THE CONGO. Berlin, feb. 3.

Henry M. Stanley has received fqjn Glasgow a trustworthy telegram stating that a Portuguese man-of-war has formally annexed both banks of the Congo and the contested coast line. Portugal has emphatically rejected the proposals of the African International Association, which France has approved. She demands the whole of the territory on the right bank between the French frontier and Tchiloango down to th eCongo, and eastward to the fourteenth degree of longitude. The association has forwarded new proposals, but it is not considered probable that they will be accepted.

London. Feb. 3. The Pall MtiU Gazette, commenting on the seizure of both banks of the CongD River by Portugal, says it must be admitted that by this stroke tbe Government at Lisbon has forestalled the decision of the powers. The powers, at the very moment Portugal is making the annexation, the Gazette says, are discussing Germany's proposal, which has the support of England, to grant to the International African Association the southern bank of the river which Portugal has appropriated.

THE BATTLE OF KEE-LUNG. Paeis, Feb. 3. The dispatch received by the Government from Admiral Courbet gives the following account of the battle between the French and Chiness for the possession of tbe coal mines in Kee-Iung: "On Jan. 25, with 1,500 men and four guns we moved upon the enemy's works and carried several of tbem.

The works captured menaced our positions on the southeast. We stopped half a league from our works and tiOO meters from a strongly fortified plateau. As soon as our troops are rested we shall continue our advance. The enemy made a vigorous resistance, and their musketry fire was very effective. Our soldiers displayed great dash.

Two of ojr officers und 7 of our men were killed aud bS were wounded during the engasement." GERMANS IN THE CAMEEOONS. London. Feb. 4 Advices from Cameroon' state that on Dec 1' two German men-of-war arrived at the mouth of the river, and on the 20th the steamers Fan and Dual la, which belong, to German firms, towed launches containing 300 fully armed men ud the river to Hickory. Upon reaching this point the German troops opened fire upon the natives, who gathered together and returned it.

The Germans then landed aud set fire to the bouses in the village. The chiefs at i'obtowu, on the opposite side of the river, thereupon seized Woermann's factory and threatened to kill Sub-Agent Pontanios if any of the inhabitants of Fosstown were killed. The other German agents, evidently hav-lag been forewarned, had left Caaier- pons and joined the invaders. On hear-ini of the seizure of Pontanics, the boats attacked Fmktnwn native the fire until the Germans landed. Many oi tne tatter were' killed.

AND ELUDING DETECTIVES. Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 3.4-At th time of tbe prreat lumber fires some weeks ago it was generally believed tbat an organized attempt was belou made by somebody td burn the town, but no clue could be lound to unravel tbe mystery. The Cleveland police being weak or Inefficient, the Board of Trade took steps on Its own account, and what It discovered is not yet even known to tbe Cleveland police or public.

The board set aside 8J.O0O for the purpose of finding the guilty parties. A flnkerton Captain was hrouvht from Chlcairo at 25 per day, and broujftit six detectives, who worked here for some weens wicnout being discovered by tbe Cleveland police. One of them was at ono time under arrest on charge of suspicion, and some trouble was bad in ifetting bim clear without: confession as to who be was. Tbe similarity of all the fires suggested certain things, and a man who was discovered to be in town and who was known to be connected with Chicago Socialists was shadowed for a lona- time. He was at last seen to go into a druir store and write out a prescription, wnich was tilled.

Tbe detectives secured it. and bad it agaiu made up, tbe result being a colorless mixture. This was applied to a door panel and also to paper. It left no stain, but 1n half an hour began to blaze. This suirirested the methods of the man, wbo could easily sprinkle his liquid over a beap of rubbish or on a pile of lumber and be two miles away- before the fire would break out.

Tbe man was closely watched with the expectation of seeing him lii tho act, but he in some way took alarm and lull tbe city. The Pinkerton men have his description and undoubtedly have him under supervision wherever he is. A boy who was seen with him, and who was caught setting- tire tp a Connotton Railroad car, was placed in joiii.fend a detective lodged with nim as a fellow-prisoner, but could get no out of him. One of the Pinkerton force also joined a Socialists' lo lire on tbe west side, but nothing wa discovered that would warrant any arrests. After tbe suspected man left the town the Incendiary fir ceav-d.

The question of supplying money enough by taxation Jo pay tbe current expenses of the State and gradually reduce tbe public debt is one which tne Leaislatur will harejto grapple with. The difficulty about a proper equalization of taxation In Connecticut lies in the fact that the farming districts, which practically control legislation, are encouraged by past experience to load tbe burden of taxation upon special corporations, and thus keep the State tax down to the lowest possible minimum, ho strona- is this aetermi nation that the grand list of country towns is crowded down to make even a low tax lower. To-day a bill was introduced In tbe House restoring the tax on triutuol and mixed life insurance companies to one-half of 1 per from whicb it wa reduced In lisSl to tie-quarter of 1 percent. Tbe life companies paid into the Treasury last yearUST.JwhUe the tax on tbe entire grand list of the rotate produced only $4-30. t.

Doubling tbe tax it will be seen would take out of the companies more than is fiald by the towns. The policy of Connecticut taxing Its life Insurance companies is exceo-tlonaL New-York State has encouraged these corporations by placing no burdens of taxation upon tnem. In tbe present state of feeling In tbe Legislature the proposed bill is liaoio to bo strongly pressed. Another proposition made In a bill also Introduced to-day is to deduct for tbe next fiscal year, bea-fiinloir Dec 1. 30 per cent, from all salaries and fees id out of the State Treasury.

A few years ago a 10 per cent, reduction was made for a single year, and it was a great annor-ance. especially in the Judicial department of the Stare. Every in court who was entitled to fees and mileage was compelled to submit to a reduction, and in taking off 10 per cent, every time, even from a mileage of 10 cents for one mile, the clerks were put to much trouble. An examination of the Treasurer's report for all expenses under ibe head of salaries and fees for 1SS4 shows that the reduction would applv to a total sum approximating Sto.O'JO, whicb would save to the Treasury The members of the General Assembly would each have to contribute t-tiO of their annual salary. The Judge, court officers, witnesses, tc, would pay over S4O.0U0.

The Insurance Commissioner would be cut down from JVOto $2,100, and the Bank and Kailroad Commissioners from $3,000 to $1,800 each. The Governor of the State, who has never received but salary until this year, and is now entitled to draw 4,000, would be the heaviest individual contributor. Tbe bill. It is observed, does not atfect the pay of the present Legislature, and it may on that account be given some consideration, but it will hardly pass. TROUBLE A3I0XQ THE MIXERS.

REDUCTIONS CAUSING GREAT DISCONTENT IN OHIO. Coluubcs, Ohio, Feb. 3. The pronuncl-amento sent out yesterday by tbe officers of tbe Miners' Union, recommending that all the coal miners in the State accept a reduction of 10 cents per ton, which makes the rate 50 cents per ton, has created a decided sensation among the miners, and those in some' of tbe Ohio Central region refused to go to work to-day. and will stay out until the price is definitely agreed upon.

The rate demanded in the Hocking Valley is 60 cents per ton. tbe same as was offered by tbe operators in that region eight months ago. There is no longer any effort made by the manasrers of tbe Miners' Union to disguise the fact that the ereat and only effort of -the leaders has Keen to crush out the operator in tbe Hocklntr Valley, where coal can be mined cheaper than at any other point in tbe State. At New-Straitsville the miners have as yet done nothing. Vet many are free to express their convictions that tbey have been sold out by John Mcltride, the President, and other otneers of tho union.

Some few men were s-iven work yesterday and to-day. but the men appear dazed and can as yet hardly appreciate the situation as It now exists. While tbe hundreds remain idle the output bf coal is constantly on the increase, tho amount now being WD cars per day. Last week tne contributions fell off 50 per and now that mining has been reduced in every other section tbe men refuse to longer contribute to the support of the Hock-inir Valley men, who are ordered by too officials to hold out for tM) cents. The coal operators can only conjecture what course the strikers will now take.

Many predict tbat the men will accept the 50 cents, and get work whue they can, while others fear that the strikers, maddened by defeat after a struggle of eiirbt month, will be led by the lawless and reckless clement to acts of violence and incendiarism. To a certain extent the communistic spirit prevails in tbe Hocking Valley, and it is not aoubted would manifest itself should a favorable opportunity present iteelf. Mine No. 35. which was fired 10 days ago, is still burning furiously, and all hopes of saving it have been abandoned.

A DUEL IX A BARROOM, Norfolk, Feb. 3. An impromptu duel was fought in Walter Neea's barroom, la Portsmouth, early this morning, between John L. Jack and Carter B. Pago, two well-known young men of that city.

About 13 o'clock both were in the saloon, when Jack took offense at some action of Page, and told bim about it.

At 1 o'clock tbey met again in tbe Fame saloon, and after some words Page left, but returned and called Jack, stating be was ready and fixed. Jaek went to tbe door and remarked to Page: Tbls is no place to settle our difficulty." Page, who was etandinir a tew feet away, aaid Fire," and immediately fired. Jack then fireo, and tiring was kept up until Jaca's pistol was emptied.

Puae'a pistol bad onlv one cartridge left. Nine shots were fired, but outy one took effect. Both weapons were calibre. Page called to some trieuds that be was shot. Tbey immediately went to his assistance and conveyed him to a physician's office.

On examination it was lounu tbat a ball bad entered Paire a lace under tbe riirht eye, fracturing the jawbone, and. passing down, had lodged in tbe 'throat. A policeman was present ana witnessed tbe whole affair and took Jack into custody, when he immediately surrendered his pistol. I'aire's weapon was afterward found in the possesion of one of his friends. The affair is deeply reirretted by tbe wboie community, tbe young men being the bent of friends, well known, and exceedingly popular.

Jack has been committed to jail to await tbe result of Page's wound. Page now Ilea in a critical condition. A POST OFFICE T1IIEF CAUGHT. "ViCKSBCHO. Feb.

Tseult Dudley left the Oak-rtreet station for the Tombs Police Court about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. She was accom. panted by Officer David Jackson and Lawjer A. Butts. There was a large crowd of men and women and boys and girls standing on the street to catch a glimpse of her.

Kome of tbem had been there for several hours. As each prisoner was taken out there was a rash for the door of the-station house until -It was seen that had not yet appeared. When she stepped lightly down the stone steps the crowd gatnered around her, and it required tbt efforts of several officers to make a passageway through Oak-street. The men looked on la silence as she walked through the crowd, but young girls rave vent to their feelings In a characteristic manner. Oh, IsnH she pretty.

remarked one girt. I lust believe -Mr. Bossa1 deserved what he oeived.V Expressions of a like nature were beard all along the route. When tbe Tombs was reached another crowd stood there patiently waiting to see tbe prisoner. She stepped by them unnoticed and went directly to tbe Sera-eaat's room.

She was introduced to Pergt. Granger, and chatted pleasantly with him. During the course of ber remarks she spoke about tha policemen and sol diers of England, saying that she admired a brave soldier or police officer. Excuse me. Sir," she said, looklmr at tbe Sergeant's erect form.

Arent you, or at least, haven't you been, a sol dier T' The nicer admitted that he had been, but he was at a loss to understand how Airs. Dudley knew It. 1 Oh. I can easily tell a soldier." she replied laughingly. I have aasociated to some extent with her Majesty's troops.

At JO o'clock the general business of the court was finished, and Justice Patterson said he was ready to proceed with the case. Mrs. Dudley was brought in and she stood at the iron ralilnt In front of the Justice. She nodded to tbe magistrate, and then fixed her eyes on the floor. Ber' counsel, A.

Butts, stood beside her. Do you appear on behalf of the; defendant. said Justice Patterson, addressing the lawyer. I do," answered tbe lawyer. Last evtniog I received a telegram at my house in Morrisauia' asking roe to come to the City Hall police sta-tiop and act as counsel for the defendant.

It was signed P. Some say that the telegram was not genuine. If this is tbe com. not wishing to sail under false -colors. I will most certainly decline to act.

However, a It Is. the prisoner wlbhes ma to represent her to-day." Well. I suppose you know the charge." aald the magistrate. What have you to say My client has nothing to suv at present," the lawyer answered. it is her present wish not to plead guilty or not guilty.

She reserve tbat T' I will have to commit her to await tbe result of Rosoa's injuries." was tbe mavtorata's answer. I think tbe complainant will be able Va appear in court In a few days." What is his condition, may I ask? Inquired the lawyer. Tbe house surgeon of the hospital says it is favorable." replied Justice Patterson. Here ia the certificate we received to-day." Tbls described the wound, said the bullet bad uot beea extracted, but pronounced the patient's condition as favorable. Dunn? the conversation Mrs.

Dudley kept her eyes fixed on tha Coor and never uttered a word. She left tbe court room at tbe side door and leaned on the arm of Odioor Jackson. While -passing over tbe Uridga of Sighs" she chatted pleasantly and smiled. 1 am glad to learn tbat tbe wounded man is progressina favorably." sbe said. "1 would hate to cause anybody prolonged pain." When tbe female prison was reached.

Mrs, Dudley was Introduced to Matron MuAuliffe and sbe was assigned quarter, thorny after sba bad been served with lunch, three rueti, wtue clothes bad a foreign air. made their appearance and asked permission to sop her. Tbey said they were Ena-lisbmen, and1 they would deem it a pleasure to converse with a woman who was willing to sacrifice ber owa life for her country. They gave tbeir cards to tue Warden. These were banded to the prisoner, but sue did not care to see Tell them I am In good spirits," sbe said to the messenger.

They are in a sensational oountrv, I must admit, but they should act like good Enrlishnicn, nevertheless, and not disturb me." Tbis news was communicated to ber patriotic callers and they left rather crestfallen. WHAT ROSSA TOLD MRS. DCDLET. As Mrs. Dudley sat in a low chair by tbe stove In the prison ber every movement sooke of extreme tranquillity.

She wore a toft, clinginir black dreoa, made wltb considerable attempt at frills and lurbeiowa. A neat white cottar was the only relief to the sombre tint which sbe allowed herself. Her 1'ght glojsy hair was. braided neatly at tbe back cf her! nead, whica was delicately suaoed. Mrs.

Dudley was either remarkablv rosy naturally or flushed trorn tlio recent excitement. As ber Oeinranor. however. SDoke of internal calmness ber color was probably nothing but tbe heaithy tj po or the London-bred girt. At times sbe put on spectacles and glanced at her questioners sean-hlnly.

Mrs. Dudley was strongly disinclined to talk. W'hen she did speak, however, it wus with much volubility and a well bred, ordinary English accent. Sbe interspersed her remarks with iittia ebullitions of mirth and frequently appeared amused. Her counsel tat bes'ue ber and declmed to let ber answer all questions put to ber.

Mr. Dudley was fully as clever as her lawyer, bow. ever, and exclaimed "That's not fair" before the gentleman had time to remark, ta legal parlance, I object," i One would think I bsd been eadavorlng to make a dramatic sensation," sli lo-xan. to judire by tbe accounts i have read of tlie shooting thi mording. Now, lu England we should have taken it ail so eriouy.

It is leal It quite astonishing to see bow tbe matter is treated here. I didn't try to make a dramatic setikalion, a public seosation. or anything of tbe kind. You can believe tbat." Dudley made a coquettish little pout with her Nothing- seemed fortfcer lrom bet tuouifbn than serious conversation. If 1 bad killed bim outright, deliberately.

I could not have created a irreater disturbance." she said, "and yet I have heard loud crie from people. Why don't you shoot Kossa He it tbe root of all evil. That's tho cry here. But no one dared to kill bim. He told me ho cot threatening letters every day informing bim that riislile wasn't worth that, snapping tcr Everyone was afraid to toucn him.

Weil. I bav done so. It will be a lesson to h.ia at any rate." A little ripole of laughter camalrom Mr. Dudley's lips, but did tiut last loa. Then tot resumed in an arouied tone.

They told me wassucb a dreadful can. Ton should pave seen how he trusted me. It was childlike anj tbat was alt How did be know who I was. he gave me tbe key to bis cipher numbers. 1 could read cipher before, you know, quite easily.

I only wanted tbe key and I not it. I was not very hard pupil to Instrutuand wbo be was showing- me bis letters 1 read mora than be expected or wanted." Mr. Dudley was still pleasantlv voluble and talked at a ereat rate ot speed. Now, you will easily see that-women are infinitely superior lo men. O'Donoran Kos-a spoke about bit great doings in everytbiog.

He was gome to blow up tuts. He going to blow up that. I never toid a aoul what 1 was go ng to da I shot bim and no ouelknew of it. Womeacaa keep their own counsel. Hoaria ia no coward," she eoritlnued.
