WASIIIKOTON, Mm eli ?M.- Oms visi ble effect of tho warfare inaugurated Upon thc Ail mi ulai rut iou by the Re publleau Senate Inn boon lo bring die President and Democratic Congi ess? nico into better relations than existed at tho opening of Congie**. Senator PlllOlb, of Kansai-, who opposed thc Edmunds movement from its inception and who has not endeavored to con ceal his opposi'ion, remarked that it was foolish policy from a political view. Ile said a mooth or mure ago: ..Bj assailing tlie President we (the Republicans) will inevitably drive thc Duinoci'AtS to his support. They can not do any thing else.'' Senator Plumb's political perception has been verified by thc result. It was patent to the Democrats at the outset that they could not even hold alool (rom the Adminis tration. The Democratic Senators in thc first caucus held on this question unanimously adopted a resolution pledging their cordial ami earnest support to thu Administration, i herc were several Senators present who ?lid mu, by any means, sub-crihc to tho wisdom of the President's refusal to submit papers to tho Sonnie. They believed that no harm could have re sulted from permitting tho Senate to have access to all thc liles, as a inaner of fact, but in view of the plain fact (hut the Republican Senators were endeavoring lo make a political issue ol tho President's refusal liaise Sena tors did not hesitate to declare llicir support of the Executive. The moro friendly footing upon which tho Ad ministration siaiuls lo its parts leaders and representatives in Congress is visjblc In several direct ions. III uatured criticism-* of thu President because of disappointments in procur ing desired appointments arc not heard among Democrats. Thc ques tions of difference between Democrats and tho Executive are no longer thrust u oil public notice. In laut, there is apparent a general disposition among Democrats io give the Administration a hearty support and cheerful co-opera tion in all malters and meas uros of public interest. The natural effect of such a disposition, and of a linc of conduct in accord with ii, will be to engender a belter party feeling and spirit throughout thc country, some thing very important as thc tim . approaches for preparation for thc fall political campaign. Oregon will lead ofl in June with an election for State otllcers and mem ber of Congress. Thc Democrats In tend to make a determined effort to carry thc Slate. Il is already evident that (he Republicans arc preparing to bend every energy to tho capture, of tho next I louse of Representatives. It is also evident that they are enter taining the hope of making' decisivo gains in the Southern States. Indeed, unless they can make gains in that section il is difficult to *ee how they can control thc House. The shrewd est Republican leaders who shape and direct thc political campaigns of that party Irive determined thut so far as the South is concerned none but repu table men shall take thc field as its candidates for Congres--. Those shrewd leaders appreciate tho fact that reputa ble men ure very scarce in thc Repub licen party of the South, but this docs not deter them or dash their hopos. Their policy will bc to persuade men of good character who have not been in affiliation with thc Republican party to take the field in opposition lo regu lar Demociatic candidates and to give them thc Republican support and vole On the tariff question, and particu larly on the question of internal improvements, men ol' good standing in tho South will bc invited to stand for Congress tu opposition to thc Democrats. In Virginia, North Caro lina, Tennessee and in Georgia can didates will bc urged to take thc field in behalf of a repeal of the internal revenue laws. Aa a means of fasten ing tho protective tariff policy more firmly tho Republicans will be willing to commit themselves to a repeal ol tho internal revenue laws to an extent sufficient for their purposes in State . and sections where that tax bears heavily upon thc people. It is ex pected that?: naturally to a greater or less extent, there wiil exist dissatisfac tion, resulting from disappointed hopes and ambition, with the Administra tion. Such dissatisfaction will bc taken advantage of. In abort, the Republicans mean to thoroughly over haul thc South and lo ply tho sharpest tactics in efforts to capturo Congres sional districts. The idea of making the South a fruitful Bold of political gain prevail-i among thu Republican leaders in both houses herc. Sherman. Logan and other big inen ofthat party have nothing hut kind words for the South. Destructivo Work of a Tornado. A Findlay, Ohio, special sa\s: A tornado passed over Bellemore, a small town northeast of here, in Patinan county on Tuesday. Tho heavens sud denly became thick and then caine u terrille storm cloud, funnel-shaped, tearing up trees by tho roots, blowing down swill buildings, und destroying everything in its path. A protracted meeting was being held in the Metho dist Cnureh at the time. The steeple wus blown down and thc roof carried off Tho congregation was panic striken, hut fortunately no ono was killod, (hough immy received bruisos and cuts which may result fatally. The damage done by the cloud will amount to many thousand dollars. Wa? lt Cancer ? I have been taking H. B.

If there is KIIJ now kink or wrinkle in tho line of fashionable hobbler) which > ?ms nut roached Wasnlng?oti ?hesociety young ladles would like to have it na ?a this way, writes a Washington cor icspnudcnt. This year it i* il e proper thing for one young ladv tu be despur ately in love with another. She may have a young man -and most of them ?lo-hm utile-? she is po*-peratoly In love with one ol her own sex sho can rest assured she is not en regie This craze is being carried lo a ridiculous extent here. Those of us who have been watching its rapid growth have been intensely amused At the extreme ly practical manner iii wh.ic.li some of tho voting ladies go about it. It IUU>t not bo supposed that because fashion's whim coal mauds a Miling lady io rave about some other young ladv's beauty, and io drip ail mailer of literary treacle over the object ol' lier alleged desires, that it i- at all neces sary her 'mash' should bc ono of her own circle of friends. Tho shrewd girl will never permit herself to bc caught in such a flimsy trap as that. She must admire something feminine, and so she looks about ber and usually settle- down on some actress. Rhea, Jeannie Winston and Venions Jarbeuu tire thc three la\orites. An three of i hem are deluged with Howers and perfumed notes every time they come lo town. Not long ago Miss Winston .-topped for about two hours in Wash ington oil ber way North. A delega tion of young Indies met her at the depot and entertained this feminine Bumhornc during lier stay. Quite recently Jarbcau played in "The Mikado" at one of our theatre-. Two young ladies at once became desper ately smitten. They called and were cordially received. Jarbcau told them all manlier of pretty tilings about herself, her origin and her history. They were enraptured, lint when the clever little actress innocently told i hem that die w as barely past 20, and Hutt she fell just like a school-girt, the young ladies looked at her a trifle inoreduously. Before they left Jarbcau managed to tell them that in case they hired a box at the matinee she would flirt with them from the stage. The girls hired the box and Jarbeuu did as she promised. All of this talk may be sickening to those who havo never moved in society at tho Capital, hut il must bc confessed that when one looks al the average brainless dude who is supposed to entertain the young lady ho iloes not wonder at the fuel that the girls are falling in love willi one another. ATTK.VPTEO ASSASSINATION. An KITort to take the I.Ire of th? Mn) or of Houston. On Tuesday night an attempt was made to assassinate Mayor Wm. lt. Baker, of Houston, Texas, nuder peculiar circumstance*. Mayor Baker is running as ari independent citizens' candidate for re-election against D. C. Smith, the Democrat io nominee, who is being supported by tho labor organ izations. The canvass lias been signal ized by numerous acrimonious discus sions. On thc evening in question Baker, with others, intended a colored Baker campaign meeting, near thc Howard Oil Mills, in the 4th ward. About b*?0 o'clock with Judge Brasher, Edward Jcmisou and several colored men, he started to walk some distance to Hie outskirts of the town where another mooting was being held. After crossing thc Sabine at thc bridge a high lonely structure, the party emerged on the South side, when a horseman riding a gray horsu rapidly approached and asked : ?Ms Mayor Baker in that crowd?" "Ves, what do you want with mc?" asked the Mayor as he left Hie puny and walked toward the horsman in (be middle of the road. ?. I hare some private business with you," said tho rider, and ho asked Baker to walk down thu road a short distance. As they started away the man said: "Will von withdraw in favor ol Smith?" "You must be joking,'' replied Baker. Several rods ?rom tho starting point thc assassin pulled up bis horse and Baker placed his left baud on the horse's mano as if to listen, when sud denly ibo Mayor was greatly startled by tho flash of a pistol in his face, which blinded bim for a moment Th rou shots were (Ired in quick succes sion. Baker dodged to thc ground, and the would-be assassin, who evi dently thought bc hud killed tho Mayor rode hastily away. Ho was followed by Judge Bradmar and Mr. Jemisoii, who opened Uro oil him. Investiga tion developed the fact that the I ..ne nian had watched tho Mayor's party ICH VU the Ural place of meeting and bad followed them by a circuitous route. The Mayor is uninjured, He la sixty year old and ono of tho wealthiest men in Harris county. He is not a po'itician ami never drew his salary of Mayor. Hu is unmarried and accepts thc posi tion as a means of occupying Iiis time. The muir mil. IT seems that Ibero is a determina tion on the part of the advocate* of the Blair bill in the. House lo press them selves to a hearing. At a meeting of the friends of the bill recently the fol lowing resolution was adopted, which if carried out will give them a hearing. It reads as follows : ..That Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, bo and he is horoby requested to introduce into tho House next Monday the hill commonly known as the 'Blair bill,' with suc.li amondmonts thereto as he may deem best, if any, and move that sahl bill be referred to a committee ot the House that, in his opinion, will report thereon promptly ; and in tho meantime Hie chairman of this confer ence appoint u committeo consisting of two member.-, of each delegation who shall confer with their respective colleagued and secure their support of said r?f?rence, said committeo to re port at an adjourned meeting."

As ho remarked upon I hal subject : "I do not think Mr. Blaine is mixing himself up willi m.liters which not only do not concerti him, but which can have no important bearing upon public affairs or upon publie opinion." Thero is no doubt whatever about thu p.ans of tho friends of Mr. Blaine. Tlicy do not propose to abandon the contest. They claim that the loss of New York was due to that ill-consid ered dinner. The burehaid incident was worked by thc opposition for all it was worth af the last moment, but to tho dinner they charge tho most serious Influence upon tho popular scn t line" 111 m Now York. Mr. Blaine him self so considers it, but recognizes the met nutt while inspired by the best of motives among his friends the indis creet hpocches which it drew tull were unfortunate, ii is thought that willi the experience of 1884 and the imbe cility and distractions of the Demo crat. 0 party they w ill bc able to carry the country. Ai all events, Mr. Blaine's friends have made up their minds to begin euri) and rally their old force-, in their support before thc) become dispersed in support of other candidates. Thej will take a hand in thu Congrei-6loil.il and Legislative campaign??, where there is a chance of strengthening their position. HYING UNDER PASTEUR'S CARE. 'I ii <? l> ri ?lile Dontli of n rtunnlrt.il Who wn isltt cn hy rx Mu<1 Wolf. One of tho Russians, who were bit ten by mad wolves, died in Paris last week with ul I the symptoms of hydro phobia. Thc Russians were placed under Dr. Pasteur's care on thc loth March. They were nineteen in num ber. All bini bern attacked by mad wolves and len illly lacerated. The man who died had been carefully oper ated upon and regularly inoculai cd with virus twice in every twenty-four hours since lie arrived. His terrible death has operated as a sci ?ons check to public confidence in the cllective iiess of Pasteur's discovery. The flr*t positive indications that the patient's [system was rush ting the treatment I manifested thrmsolvs on Sunday, after ne bad been in the hospital over live (lays and hud been inoculated more than hali a dozen times. Death oc curred while the, man was mad and wild with physical torture. Tho scientist is much annoyed by the un favorable comments caused by this failure of his method, but be insists that it establishes not liing. Tho in quest revealed the press nco in one of ihe ulan's cheek bones of a portion of a decayetl tooth that undoubtedly be longed* to tho wolf by which the man was bitten. This Pasteur supposes hastened the incubation ol thc disease. The lungs and other internal organs were tilled with clotted blood, showing that there had been paralysis (d' Hie breathing apparatus. Thc tonsils and tongue were abnormally swollen, and thc brain was slightly congested, but was otherwise healthy. The ot bet Russian patients have shown symp toms of acute hydrophobia.
