INGALLts LECTURES. All Mast Submit When the Ma jorlty speaks. Rochester, K. Y., Dec. 12. Ivx-Seua- tor John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, lectured to a large audience in Washington Rink upon "Some Causes and Consequences of the Recent Elections." Mr. Ingalls assured the audience that he contemplated no partisan discussion of the election that had resulted so dis astrously to the party with which he was affiliated. He Lad no disposition to make an autopsy upon the deceased, nor would he pronounce an obituary upon the vanquished, or a eulogy upon the victor. "This is an interval for reflection," said Mr. Ingalls. "The smoke of the conflict has disappeared. We arc to have a per iod of tranquility and repose for the next four yeurs. The majority of the people can always be trusted. "When the majority has spoken, and especially when it has spoken as loudly as it has recently, it becomes us all to submit with composure. Grover Cleve land is not in my judgment nn ideal statesman, but bc'is so far superior to others who might have been chosen that the choice of him seems to have been providential. "He is a robust American and believer in American institutions. He covered a multitude of sins when he said: 'Pa ternalism has no place in the creed of Democracy.' That sentence is both an epitome and an epitaph. Paternalism naa no place in the creed ot the loundcrs of this government." SHE CUT A FIUIRK. Newly Rich and Couldn't Hold Her Money. San Francisco, Dec. 14. Mrs. Annie Tormey, widow of an Irish pioneer, who left nearly $500,000 when he died three years ago, has filed an insolvency petition showing that she owes $179,701, which more than covers her assets. As soon as Tormey was buried the widow and daughters started out to cut a wide social swath. They thought nothing ol spending $2,000 or $3,000 on a visit to this city, and their bills for finery ran up to $20,000. Mrs. Tormey was also invciirled into losing investments. One ol her worst ventures was with Allcgrctti, the caudy maker, who invented a process for pre serving fruit against decay. Allegretti lanea last weeK, ana tiis lailurc brought Mrs. Tormey 's affairs to a crisis. Mrs. Tormey's preferred creditors are her three daughters, so that the money lenders who aided her are likelv to lose their money. Scaudal Worthy of Middle Auch. London, Dec. 12. The Times Paris CJrrcspondent says: "The Reimach scandal is worthy of the middle ages. The Parliament, the magistracy, and the press, all are cryfnc for the cornsc. Only the brush of a Gallot or n Holbein could do justice to the scenes pre sented at the cemetery. When the au topsy was performed there was an un seemly scramble between the doctors and the reporters to reach the grave. The doctors were victorious. Thev whitened the windows of the room in which the autopsy was performed, so nothing was visible from the outside." National Park at Chattanooica. Washington, Dec. 13.

With their return comes the re port that the representatives of the Peo ple's party in Congress will act with the Democrats in the next Congress.

Senator Kyle, the recognized leader of tne I'opulists in Congress, was asked today if he intended to vote with the Democrats in the reorganization 0f the Senate. He said he was not prepared to commit himself irrevocably on that sub ject. "Hut. said he. "Since I have been a member of the Senate I have voted nine times out of every ton with the Demo crats. There is much in common between our people and the Democrats. Thev are fighting for economy in the public ex penditures; so are we. They are battling lor a reduction of taxation; so ore we.

Roger U Hills Sends a Communi cation to K F.ilerly; Anderson Dens inn Certain Newspaper Re ports. Washington, Dec. 14. Speaker Crisp was seen this morning. He still declines to talk about the Reform club dinner. Little doubt is entertained that he has received letters of some sort from El lery Anderson in reference to Anderson's failure to call on hiin for a speech but Mr. Crisp himself declines to say whether or not he had received any communication from Anderson and re fuses to discuss the incident, taking the ground that the subject was a delicate one and will be improper for one of the parties concerned to make comment on it. It may be, how ever, that in view of the general publi cation given the embarrassing affair, that Mr. Crisp will decide to make pub lic the text of any explanation he has received from Anderson or any other person connected with the dinner, and, when this is done, "regard the incident ns closed." AGAINST THE S. Pa Railroad Company Has No Title to Certain Valuable Lands Wahingtox, Dec. 13. The Supreme Court of the United States today, in an opinion delivered by Associate Justice Brewer, decided the long pending suit between the United States and the South ern Pacific railroad over certain vaulua blc lands between the Colorado river and Pacific ocean, within the limits of the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific railroad company, and which the Southern Pacific claimed as successor to the Atlantic and Pacific. The case came up on appeal from the Circnit court for the Southern district of California, and was argued at the last term of court. There were four cases before the court two involving lands within the granted limit to the Atlantic and Pacilie, and two within the limits of the idemnity lands. Judge Brewer held that the title of the lands in question vested in the Atlantic and Pacilie were forfeited by the a-t of Congress in 1886, and did not pass to the Southern Pacific railroad, but was thereby restored to the public domain, and therclote the title rests in the United States. The decision of the lower court is reversed, with in structions to issue a decreegiving to the United States therelief asked. The prop. erty in question is valued at several mil lions ol dollars, consisting of land worth $45 to $50 nn acre. N. Y. Sun. WORLD'S FAIR TRAVEL. Fast Steamers Between England and Canada. Toronto, Dec. 15. There is reason to believe that the Canadian Pacific rail road will have its fast line of steamships running from England to Canada in time to catch some of the World's Fair travel. It now seems probublc that the rail road will te able to make such arrange ments with the English and Canadian governments aswill enableit to equip an Atlantic line ol fast steamers to make a run in less time than New York lines. aright Pennies for the Children. Washington, Dec. 15. The holiday trade always causes a heavy draft on the treasury department for bright new coins. Usually the demand is for dimes and five-cent pieces, but this year it is pennies that are desired. 7 he change is taken as a deBire to make an apparent increase in the amount of niouev ex changed, principally lor the benefit of children. The theory is that the young people are apt to be more impressed with the possession of a hundred bright pen nies than a single silver dollar or two halves. Didn't Forget His Sister. Los Angeles, Cab, Dec. 15. Out on West Sixth street, at the corner of Flower street, resides a lady who is a sister to the late Jay Gould. She is the wile of the Rev. A. M.
