Why Mr. Lawler Declines to See Visit
ors in the Ladies' Reception Room.
Senator ralmer DecHes that He Will Not Ea
a Candidate for Ke-KIection Causes of
the Popularity of the Michigan Man.
VIRTUOUS LAWLER.
Ills Reasons for Declining to See Visitors In
tha Ladles' Receptlon-Rooui
fpcUl to tbe Indianattoiia Jonroaa.
Washington', Aug. 4.Kepresentative Frank:
Lawler, of Chicago, has become disgusted with
what be terms 'the harem," which is the ladies'
reception-room, immediately across the corridor
and to the east of th Hall of Representatives.
This reception-room is furaisbed like a large
parlor ia a private residence, and Is tbe place
wbor ladies go wh n they wish to see members
of Congress, and from where they send their
cards in to the legislators. The ladies' reception-room
is one of tbe oldest institutions around
the CapitoU It was established at the time tbe
present Hall of tbe House of Representative
was constructed. Originally, there was seldom
seen In this room an impure woman; but later
it began to degenerate, and the weaker sex of
questionable character began to habitate it.
Two or three day ago a representative of tbe
Woman's National League, of thi city, called
at tbe House to see Lawler, and from tbe
reception -room she sent her card to the Chicago
member. Mr. Lawler was told by tbe door
keeper that a woman was in the reception-room,
aad he replied:
That's all right; but I wont go out there, all
the same."
Three or four day afterward Mr. Lawler met
the woman in the corridor of the Capitol and
apologized.
"I did not mean to treat you disrespectfully
the other day, when you seat me your card,"
said he. "but I never meet a woman aronnd the
Ctpitol alone. 1 bare also made it a rule to
never go into that reception-room, which is roth-
ioe leas tbau a harem. I do not mean to reflect
upon the good women who go there; I only
mean to say there are a great many bad ones
w ho bang around tnat room, and I sometimes
think that no self-respecting man would be
found there."
'What is a woman to do when she wants to
see you then. Mr. LawlerP
"Call for me," replied the Chicago Congress
man, "to come to some other door than tbe one
leadine to the hare La; be sure to state on your
carii what business is desired of roe. If you
could bear tbe comments tbe members make on
that reception-room, and the way they refer to
it as 'the harem,' I don't believe you would ever
go into it again."
'Who makes the ladiea' waiting-room so dis
raspectfulP inquired the woman.
"The members, I suppose," replied Mr. Law
ler. Afterward this representative of the National
Woman's League was discussing tbe attitude as
sumed by Mr. Lawler. and she took occasion to
pay him some very excellent compliments, and
to read a moral leeture, and in the course of her
observations she said:
"1 am very glad that there Is one man in the
House who bas the moral stamina to stand up
for what is right. There are comparatively few
of tbem who will take the position he occupies.
All this said, however, it is a burning shame
that a place as publio as the ladies' waiting
room to the House of Representatives, where
tbe purest and best-known women of the coun
try are oblige J, at times, to go where tbe wives
and daughters, mothers and sistera of members.
Senators. Cabinet officers and those from the
great body of tbe people throughout the country
mcst sometimes congregate if they visit the
Capitol to sea their friends in tbe House, should
beeome so debased. Of course, the great majori
ty of women who are seen about this room are
pure and good; but there are just a sufficient
number of the disreputable to leaven the mas.
Certainly, there would not be any of these de
praved women around the Capitol if there was
not a demand for tbem among members of the
House. It i a reflection upon the good mother
throughout the country, bhow me a vulgar,
obscene man, and that man has had a coarse
mother in nearly every instance. No matter
what his station in life is, vulgarity, and obscen
ity, and moral depravity will cling to bim aa his
natural boon and inheritance. I think the
Woman's National League will take some kind
of united action on this matter, and see if it is
not possible to eradicate the evil influences that
are polluting tbe national Capitol.
SENATOR PALMER.
lie Is Not a Candidate for Re-EIectfon Tha
Causes of Ills Popularity.
Special to the IndlanaDOlla JonrnaL.
ANashingtox, Aug. 4. mere i no more
popular maa ia the Senate of the United Stales
than Thomas W. Palmer, senior Senator from
Michigan. Senator Palmer is a maa upoa wbom
fortnne bas smiled, and unlike tbe usual victim
o! that goddess's darts, Senator Palmer knows
bow to use his means ia order that his felloe
man may help him to enjoy it. Tbe Senator
bas decided not to be a candidate for re-election
to the Senate. This decision bas caused real
sorrow to his associates, as well as to the Rt
publicans ot bia State coneregated at Washing
ton. There are men in tbe House who are
anxious to shine in the Senate, but they see that
Senator Palmer bas made such a representative
of tbe State of Michigan as will be difficult to
emulate. He is without an enemy in the world,
so xar as known, annouga oe is a
man of opinions and force; but he
combines in himself all those pleasant
indispensable attributes of a thoroughly) good
man which win popularity. And for this reason
be can do more for, his constituents tbaa any
r.ew man who could possibly be sent here. Tbe
Senator, however bas a following m Washing
ton which will miss his presence more than any
other class. This following is found among the
poor people, who are dependent upon charity
far their daly bread. Senator Palmer does not
2aunt bis deeds to the world. On the contrary.
there is nothing about him to show that he bas
any extraordinary demands upon his purse. Yet
I am told by a lady, who is prominent in many
works of charity, that she never reports a case
of real di9tres to the Senator which he does not
investigate, and which he does not take immedi
nia steDs to relieve, uozens or, poor women.
who have seen nothing but the darkest side of
lif until beuator Palmer appeared to
them, owe to him tbe comparative
prrfpemy wnica they now enjoy.
11 has emissaries on the lookout for eases of
ii.-ires constantly, and whenever he bears of a
particularly trying case be sends an agent to
inTetigate, with ample means to relieve imme
diate necessities and earte blanche to take such
steps as may be neceMary. Poor men with
lariro famine who have been thrown out of em-
ploy men tnd to whom the present looks black
anl threatening, have been pat upon their feet.
and have foutid employment through tbe good
ofucesbf the senior Senator from Michigan. It
is for this reason that the poorer population of
u asbincton will regret bftr absence from the
Senate raoie than that of anv other one man.
for while there are plenty of millionaires in tha
Senate and plenty of men who are willing to
spend of their means to aid distress, there
are few who have the tact to do it in that nciet.
unostentatious, yet telling manner, which ha
made Senator Palmer the friend of so many of
the needy poor of the Nation's capital.

PHILADELPHIA, 7; WASHINGTON, 0.
Washington, Aug. 4. The Philadelphia
scored another victory over tbe Washingtons to
day by outplaying them at every point. Whit
ney, who is usually effective against the vis
itors, played a listless game, and did not appar-
eatly pat forth hi best efforts. The result was
that the Philadelphias kept the ball moving at a
lively rate, and earned six of their iin mna
Sanderson, oa tbe other hand, used good judg

by Schriver, and Mulvey and Irwia fielded ex-

is here. 'Tbat information is substantially cor
rect," he stated, when questioned about tbe mat
ter. "I have been expecting this for several
days. The statement tbat tbe British minister
acted on representations made to him by Mr.
Fountleroy is erroneous. He acted nnder in
structions from Lord Salisbury, the British
Premier. Tbe matter was bronght about by
influence on tbe other side. Minister West h as
no power to take such action on bis own re
sponsibility. He ean only do so under instruc
tions from the British government The people
in England induced Lord Salisbury to inter
fere. I presume members of Parliament and
other other men who petitioned Governor More
house in Maxwell's behalf, assisted by Mr.
Brooks, tbe prisoner's father, brought about
this investigation. I sent over a lot of letters
and documents in the case, and have done con
siderable correspondence by cable. Last Sun
day I receited a cablegram from Mr. Brooks in
forming me that the British minister had been
ordered to interfere."
"Have you any new points to present to the
Governor in behalf of your client incase tbe
respite and bearing are) granted!"
'I bave new points whieh have only come Into
my possession within the past few days. They
are so strong tbat tbey will secure a commuta
tion for Maxwell almost beyond peradventure
of doubt. What tbey are I am not at liberty to
state, but tbey are so atroog that they would
astonnd you if yon were told them. They are
strong enough to make any Governor alter his
decision."
"Do these points tend to show the innoceae
of Maxwell?"
"No, tbey are not in regard to his guilt or in
nocence, nor bave tbey anything to do with tbe
aetion of tbe court We bave quit bringing np
matters on which the courts bave already
passed."
"Then your points must bo something in con
nection with the trial upon which the courts
have not already been called to passP
Now you hit it exactly."
. "Are they in regard to jurorsT
"I can tell yoa nothing farther. Suffice it to
say that they are amazing. I have all along been
hopeful in this case, and I am now more hopeful
than ever."
When tbe news reached here this morning
that the British government had requested a
further respite for Hugh M. Brooks, better
known as Maxwell, on the ground tbat both th
murderer and his victim were Bnlish subjects,
it created no little surprise, though some new
move has been looked for. Governor Morehouse
has received merely a formal telegrapbie
notice that the papers have been
forwarded by mail. Circuit Attor
ney Clover was not surprised, and thinks
it probable a brief respite may be be granted.
He is firmly convinced, however, tbat Maxwell
must eventually bang. The friends of Maxwell
claim that the request for a reapite eomes direct
from th British Ministry, while others assert
tbat it is simply a petition forwarded through tbe
usual diplomatic channels.
Among Irish Nationalists here tba renewed
efforts on behalf of Maxwell are eausing much
eomment It is recalled that wbea O'Donnell
was under sentence of death dnring President
Arthurs administration tbe United States
government appealed to England on
his behalf. Little notice beyond refusal
was taken of the movement by the British
authorities, and tbe local Nationalists contrast
with some bitterness the circumstance attend
ing th case of O'Donnell at most a political
crime with the apparent willicgnes manifested
by American authorities to ut re clemency oa
behalf of a man who committed one of the most
cold-blooded murders in the annals of crime.
The systematic brntality with whieh home-ruler
are treated when under arrest in Ireland was
also frequently referred to to-day, and many
feeling references were made to the sad fata of
Mandeville, killed by cruel treatment within tbe
wall ot Tullamore.
A BATTLE ROYAL.

Washington Letter to Baltimore American.
History has now to record a bsttle between
the French and German oa Americaa oiL It

18th inst at 3 p: m. The contestants wer Mrs.
Cleveland's French poodle. Hector, and Airs.
Folsom' imported German dachshund.
Th newcomer had just arrived, nd being a
stranger in a strange land, and having a voice
that was equally strange to tbe surroundings,
he consequently felt ill at ease. His ears were
more aceostomed to sound less peculiar than
those he heard. Like all visitors, be made it a
point to investigate his new premises. Tbe eat
he looked upon with dread, and ber fiery "siss"
kept bim at a distance until more congenial
times arrived. He roamed about th house a
lord of all he surveyed. He next tried the lawn
and there his fate was sealed. Hector lay un
der th shade of a maple asleep. The dream of
lonr-ago daya waa upon him, and bis
Imagination was reveling in the departed
glories of tbe past Th sound of something
aroused him. and from a corner of bis eye be
discovered th intruder. The enemy was larger
than be, but th'e impulsive and courageous
French spirit was aroused. The enemy stood
till and Hector advanced. Th battle began.
The dogs walked around each other, Tbfy
snarled and barkd, aod tired of tbia they joined'
battle.
Three rounds were fought and Hector came
out victorious the master of tbe situation. The
German wa worsted and sought consolation
from the household. But poor Hector got it in
th shpe of a whipping. This he took with a
sad heart If "Jim, the Parrot" bad been
around, tbe German visitor would have been a
dead dog. It was a big fight, and Hector'
friend at the White House are rejoicing over
hi victory.

LATEST FOREIGN "NEWS.
Emperor William Will Visit London His rro
posed Interview With Humbert.
ICoryrlght, ISsA, by the New Tork Associated Tress-1
Berlin. Aug. 4. Emperor William's mon
archical itinerary since his interview with Prince
Bismarck at Friedericbsrube, has been modified
in most important directions. It was suppose!
tbat the Emperor, in accordance with a family
arrangement, would pay Lis respect fb
tbe Queen of England during her projected
etay at Baden. Tbe Queen, however. Intimated,
tbroagh tbe German embassy at London, that
she did cot intend to go either to Baden or to
any other place on tha continent Yesterday a
formal note was sent by Prince Bismarck,
through the English embassy, asking
that the Queen receive Emperor
William, who, the note stated, intended
to visit England. If the plans of Prince Bis
marck are executed in time, Emreror William
will arrive in London in November, during tbe
winter sessioa of Parliament Under tbe pres
ent circumstances bis Majesty's visit to England
will be a stste and not a family affair, and tbe
Queen must meet him either in London or at
Windsor.
Foreign office officials believe tbat Prince Bis
marck intends to accompany Emperor William
to England for the purpoa of conferring with
the Queen on affairs relating to the late Em
peror Frederick.
Nothing is settled regarding the Emperor'
proposed interview with King Humbert Dr.
Von Schloezer, the Prussian envoy to tbe
Vatican, has bad daily interviews with
Mgr. GalimbertL the papal nuncio at Vienos
bia efforts being directed toward reconciling tt
Pope' protest against the reception of the Em
peror at Home with the Vatican's claima.
Dr. Von Schloezer arrired at Fried
ericbsrube to-day, bringing, it is surmised, tba
pspsl ultimatum. Th Pope has been asked, if
tbe Emperor goes to the Vatican and remains at
the guest of the Pope for a day prior to bis re
ception at the Quirinal. whether be
will withdraw his objections. Mgr.
Oalimberti ta understood to bave replied that
the Pope most maintain bis temporal rights.
Tbe nuncio continues to urge tbe Emperor to
forego his visit to King Humbert unless tha
meeting take place at Milan or Turin.
F org fry on Illsmnrck.
Berlin, Aul 4 A document which appeared
tn the Nouvell Revue, purporting to ba a com
munication from' Prince Bismarck on tbe
proposed marriage of Prince Alexander of Bat
tenburg and Prineea Victoria of Germany,
is treated here with contempt Its representa
tions are accepted as probably in tne true line of
Bismarck policy, bnt it bas not remotest an
alogy to Prince Bismarck's style. Tbe address
ing of the Emperor as "Sire, like
a Frenchman addressing a Napoleon,
is not like tbe German "Most Gracious Lord." or
"Most Powerful Emperor or King." Instead of
the terse, clear sentences of tbe Chancellor,
tbe document is written with tha
elegant verbosity of a French journalist
The fraud has been reproduced In extesso in t he
German papers, only to be laughed at The?
Cologne Gazette presume tbat the document ia
genuine, in order to auggest tbat it haa been re
vealed through Victoria channels.
Relation of Italy and France.
LoxDOK, Aug, 4. Communications are pass
ing between Prince Bismarck and Signor Crisni
the Italian Prime Minister, on tbe subject of tha
marriage of tbe Duke of Aosta with the daugh
ter of Prince Napoleon. The French,
Monarchists expect that this alliance will divert
Italy from Germany, and assist in resusci taticg
Bonapartism. Signor Crispi is understood
to repadiate any responsibility for tba
match. His note to M. Goblet, French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, on Italian rights to
occupy Massowab, seems to bave been purposely,
worded to prove to Prince Bismarck th genu'
iae nature of Italy's hostility to Franco.

clocks and other revered relic aod to frighten
the peaceful peopl out of their bomes, but
company of tbe best comedian America can
produce. Daly's Theater Company waa pre
pared to present tbe Sbakspearean comedy,
"Tbe Taming of tbe Shrew," as it has never
been produced ia this plaee before. The ru
ral population of Stratford saw to night
"the Taming ot tbe Shrew" in tbelr
handsome memorial theater with substantially
the same actors aad the same scenery as thi
New Yorkers saw it in Daly's own theater last
winter. The house was packed with all the best
people of Warwickshire, aod tba American
actors received from tbem aa hearty and cordial
a greeting as they ever cot in New York or Lon
don. Mr. Daly came here in a special traia
from London Thursdsy evening and hired tha
whole hotel to put his company and guests in.
This morning the American visitors . roamed
about to see tbe places filled with relic
and reminiscence .of Shakspeare, and in
tbe afternoon participated in a gar
den party arranged la their honor at
Avon Bank, tbe country residence of Charles
Flower. All the society people in Stratford
earn out to meet them. Mias Rehan and all
tbe ladies in the company were abown no end of
attention. Four live lords were in the throng
that perpetually hovered around their skirts.
John Drew was made a present of a prize pug
dog by Leith Thomas. t!ie author, who is tbe
wife 01 tbe schoolmaster of tbe same grammar
school that Shakspeare learned his letters in.
Mrs. John Gilbert went away loaded with tbe

lonch and speeches at th garden party, and tha
Warwickshire quirea brimmed over with bright
and kind sayings about America, and American

Mary Anderson, but thought tbey could find
room in their hearts for Itoban. too. The Mavor
of Stratford. Sir Arthur Hodgson, apoke lo
quently of what the American stage had
done for Shakspeare atd the drama,
and Mr. Daly answered that hi
company would demonstrate before long
that America was going todo better stilL Lord
Ronald Gower said that Stratford was always
delighted to reeieve Americans whether tbey
were actors or not, far it had good reason to re
member tbe generosity of some of its American
visitors. The theater was not large enough ta
hold all th people who wer anxious to get in
to-night, and Mr. Daly has the honor of raising
a large sum ot money towards the memorial
fund. He gave the whole receipts to aid it, and
they were so larg that he Will probably b
made a member of the corporation. Tbe cam
