A Profeieor" and Ills Wife Badly Mangled by Two Iofurl-- I ated Beast. O i I i i The patrons of tho Wigwam theater witnessed an exciting battle lately, says the San Francisco Examiner, and it was not down on the program. It was a fight in which a man and woman did battle for their. lives against a couple of monster apes, and it was only by the courage and presence of mind of some ten attaches of the theater that the enraged brutes were prevented from killing both people. Part of the evenings entertainment was furnishod by Professor Samwell's troupe of trained animals, consisting of goats, dogs, cats and five large apes. Samwella handles the animals himself while on the stage; his wife and their assistants remain In the wings, ready to take charge of the animals as they go off the stage. The monkeys are kept In a large cage, and have always been looked after by Mrs. Samwells, she taking the animals out and returning them to the cage when her husband Is through with them. During the last part of the performance tho largest ape Is dressed like a lady and rides about the ring In a little phaeton drawn by one of tho dogs. When the ape was sent on the stage by Mrs. Samwells that night it was rather sullen and at first refused to get Into the vehicle. It showed Its teeth every time Its master approached, but at last was Induced to take its seat in the phaeton. The professor patted It on the head and then stooped to adjust the harness on the canine steed. Then quick as a flash the cunning brute from the vehicle and fastened Its long tusks in his left wrist, driving them cloar to the hone. In an Instant the house was in an uproar, women screamed and strong men turned their heads aside as the maddened brute bit and tore at tho mans arm, while his screams for help rang through the building. Grace! Grace! For Gods sake take him off! llels killing me, shouted Samwells to his wife. Mrs. Samwells who was holding another huge ape In her arms, threw the animal from her and rushed on the stage to her husband's assistance. She seized the big ape by the throat and tried with all her strength to choke the boast In order to open its jaws, hut she might as well havo tried to strangle a Bengal tiger. She then did what few men would have done thrust her hand Into the brutes mouth and by a superhuman effort wrenched the terrible jaws apart. It was just at this Instant that the ape which Mrs. Samwells had left In tho wing sprang on the stage, as if to the assistance of its g comrade, There was a cry of look out for the other one, and the next Instaut the newcomer had seized tho woman by the left hand and driven his sharp teeth clear through It. Samwells now free from tho grasp of the first monster, rushed to aid his wifo, but he could render her but littlo assistance, as both his hands were almost torn to pieces. At this moment several men rushed on tho stage, and tho fierce brutes were beaten Into Insensibility with clubs and pieces of hoards torn from tho scenery. Tho victims were carried from tho stago. as soon as tho patrol wagon arrived, were taken to the recolvlng hospital. Dr. Simpson, who was in attend-ancfound that the mans left thumb was almost torn from the hand. The tendons were completely severed, and there were a dozen wounds reaching from tho tips of tho fingers far up on the wrist. Tho wounds made by the animal's teeth looked as if they had e, 0 'it been Inflicted by a tiger, so badly was the flesh torn and lacerated. Every one of the wounds had to be sown up, and after this was done and the dress-ln- g applied Mrs. Samwells was attended to. She was not nearly so badly Injured as her husband, but hor hand was budly torn. The animals that made the attack were purchased in this city about two years ago In one of the bird stores, and up to tho time they displayed such fiendish tendencies hud boon extremely docilo. Tho bite of an ape Is regarded by surgeons as fully as serious as that of a mad dog, and even If the man's life Is saved It is a hundred to ono that he' will have to suffer the amputation of one, if not both, his hands. lremtur Call.

'i RupramnUilrtl Barricade Home end are Betelged bf the Populist. The trouble In tbs Kanta Houm of Representative culminated on the 15th. Thl wat brought about on tho 14th by an attempt on the part of the Republican House to arrest the Populist chief clerk, which attempt wa thwarted by the physical resistance of the Populists. Thereupon Governor Llewelllng ordered that the Republicans should not again be admitted to the House, and a guard of twenty men was stationed at the doors to prevent their approach. The Republican members, anticipating opposition to their entrance, gathered In a body at the Copeland hotel early In the morning and marched to the cupltnl. There they found the corr'dor and the stairways leading to the bnll in the possession of the Topullst guard. In a fight, In which several Winchesters and revolvers made their appearance, but were not used, the Republicans fought their way to the doors of the hall, which they found had been locked and barred. Two had been provided for that emergency, and they were put to vigorous use by Speaker Douglass and the speaker pro tem. Having' gained entrance, they bun leaded the door from within and prepared for an assault. Boon after they entered the hall the Populist janitor of the c&pltol turned off the steam. The military guard without the ball will permit no one to enter, and the Republicans have no means of supplying themselves with food or with artificial heat. The Republicans having become masters of the representative hall, only two means of dislodging them presented themselves to the Populists, One was to put them out and the other was to starve them out. The more leaders advised that the militia be called out and be ordered to eject the Republicans. More conservative counsel prevailed and (iovernor Llewelllng decided to lay siege to the Republican citadel and starve the occupants Into submission. It was decided the troops were necessary to effect this object and the governor ordered several companies of the Nntlonal Guard to repair to the slate bouse. Two local companies were soon placed In the Held and during the day several more eompnnles from near-b- y towns arrived. Five hundred men were on guard by Thursday morning. They were placed under command of Colonel Hughes. The guards had orders to allow no food of any kind to be carried Into the cnpltol, and the building was closely Invested. In order to prevent being starved out the Republicans sent out dispatches In all directions asking for armed assistance from Republicans. Response were received from all directions promising aid at once. Among others, Fighting Dan Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth Thrum, wired that 1,000 armed men would come from Leavenworth. The Republican volunteers will be asked to support the Republicans In the oceupancy of Representative ball until the courts decide which Is tbe legally constituted House. In complying with the reuuest It will be necessary for them to dislodge tbe state troop around the japltol. Such a proceeding would seem to necessitate a battle, but the Republicans predict that the militia, being composed mostly of Republicans, will not resist tbe attack of tbe volunteers should tbe latter proceed to such extreme measures. On the other hand, Governor Llewelllng Issued a call for provisional troop. He Issued a proclamation lute Wednesday afternoon stating tbat a the state mlillla now In Topeka was not sufficient to control the situation live provisional companies would be organized. Three were formed before night. WILL ANNEX HAWAII. Governor Llewelllng appeared In the House and asked the Republicans to Of course they refused. The Republicans tore President Harrison Senih a Favorable Itecommrndatlnn to the Senate. up the desks on the Populist side, and with President Harrison on the 15th sent to Conthem constructed a barricade In the corridor, and filled the stairway with them, making an gress a message recommending the annexa-t'oof the Hawaiian Islands to the United obstruction which It will be very difficult to scale.

Tin Republicans after long deliberation sent I to the governor, who promised to answer It Friday morning at 9 oclock.

The governor promised that the Republicans should not be disturbed until he answered, and they were allowed to go and come as they pleased. A great many men of both parties came to town and many of them were armed but there was no violence shown during tbe day, and both sides became anxious for a peaceful termination of the controversy. On Thursday the sergeant-at-arm- s of the Republican House arrested W, Dunne for refusing to testify before the elections committee. Habeas corpus proceedings were at once Instituted and the settlement of this case will also settle the question of the legality of the rival bouses. Another case will come before the Supreme Court In a day or two. In the District court the motion for au Injunction to Biddle and Auditor prevent Treasurer Prather from paying the salaries of the members and attaches of the Populist House was heard by Judge Uazen. Attorney General Little Insisted that the court bad no jurisdiction, and upon being overruled, gathered up bis papers and proceeded to the chambers of the Supreme Court, where he filed an appeal In the meantime a compromise bad been agreed upon between the governor and a committee from the Republican House, by the terms of which all hostilities were to cease, the militia and deputy sheriffs were to be dismissed, and the Republican House was to remain In possession of .representative ball until a decision from tbe Supreme Court was received. The case of Dunne will be decided In a few days. The Republicans were jubilant In view ol the opportunity to escape from tbe Capitol and get a square meal. Tbe Populist House Is on the outside, hut Its members do not by any means concede that they are worsted. On the contrary they claim tbat the situation has returned to tho original status, and this sol-l- y on account of their disinclination to mar the good name ot the state by Insisting on a course that would Inevitably have Involved the shedding ol blood. Governor Llewelllng dictated the folios lng statement to the public Frld ty morning: The Populist pnrty has taken no step backward. To tbe Republican HoUse baa been conceded In the Interest of harmony the possession of representative hall In the capltol building. The concession of the hall Is not an admission on the part of the Populists or myself that the Republicans are tbe constitutional House. Had possession of It been steadfastly claimed by the Populists and striven for, tbe problem would have resolved Itself for solution Into a shameful physical contest Tbe Populist legislature may now go on unmolested In the transaction of Its business. The governor and the Senate of Kansas will recogn ae but one House of Representatives. If at some later day the Supreme Court shall declare the Populist House an unconstitutional body then tbe responsibility for the action ot the House will rest with It alone. The people will he the judges. "The Populists have at ad time denied the right of the Supreme Court to determine ou any question arising from the organization of tbe House ot Representatives.

The amendment was offered by Mr. Sherman, and a point of order was raised against it by Mr. Stewart. The point was, after discussion, overruled by the vice president and an appeal from that decision was laid on the tRhle by a vote of 38 ye to 18 nays.

But Mr. Stewart then realized what was being done, and sa d that he and the Senate bad been taken by surprise, and that he desired to address the Senate on Mr. Shermans amendment. At the suggestion of Mr. lloar.both amendments were considered as still open, and Mr. Stewart proceeded to address the Senate. He denounced the amendment a the most w leked, revolutionary scheme ever invented by man, laying the rude hund of legislation on the accumulated precious metals of the world.

THE LETTER, When a man has battled with poverty all his life, fearing it as he fought it, feeling for the skinny throat to throttle it, and yet dreading all the while the coming of the time when it would gain the mastery and throttle him when such a man is told that ho Is' rich, it might be imagined he would receive the anWhen nouncement with hilarity. Richard Denham realized that he was wealthy he became even, more sobered than usual, and drew a long breath as If he had been running a race and had won it. The man who brought him the news bad no idea thut he had told Denham anything novel. lie merely happened to say: You are a rich man, Mr. Denham, and will never miss It. Denham had never before been called a rich man, and up to that moment he had not thought of himself as wealthy. lie wrote out the check asked of him, and his visitor departed gratefully, leaving the merchant with something to ponder over. He was as much surprised with the suddenness of the thing as if someone had left him a legacy, Yet the money was all of his own accumulating, but his struggles had been so long and he had been so hopeless about it, that from mere habit he exerted all his energies long after the enemy was overcome. When Mr. Denham left his office and went out Into the street, every- thing had an unusual appearance to him. He walked along, unheeding the direction. He looked at the fine residences and realized that he might have a fine residence if he wanted it. lie saw handsome carriages; he, too, might set up an equipage. The satisfaction these thoughts produced was brief. Of what use would a fine house or an elegant carriage be to him ? lie knew no one to Invite to the house or to ride with him in the carriage. He began to realize how utterly alone in the world he was. lie had no friends, no acquaintances even. The running dog with its nose to the ground, sees nothing of the surrounding scenery. He knew men In a business way, of course, and doubtless each of them had a home in the suburbs somewhere, but he could not take a business man by the shoulders and say to him, Invite me to your house; lam lonesome; I want to know people. Suddenly, a girl rose before his mental vision a modern girl, She was the only woman In the world with whom he was on speaking terms, and he knew her merely because her light and nimble fingers played the business sonata of one note on his office typewriter. Miss Gale was pretty, of course all typewriter girls are and it was generally understood In tho office that she belonged to a good family who had come down in the world. Her somewhat independent air deepened this conviction and kept the clerks at a distance. She was a sensible girl who realized that tho typewriter paid better that the and accordingly turned tho ex- j I1100 perlcnco of her white fingers on the fornwr Instrument. Richard Denham aa a upon a park bench. Why not? ho asked himself. There was no reason against it except that ho had not tho courage. Nevertheless, he formed a desperate resolution. Next day, business went on as usual. Letters were answered and the time arrived when Miss Gale canto In to see if he had any further I ! commands that day. Denham hesitated. He felt vaguely that a business office was not the proper placo for a proposal; yet he knew he would 'ho at a disadvantage anywhere else.

I am afraid I shall not be able to compose a letter that will suit you. There seem to be so many difficulties. It is very unusual. That is true, and that is why I know no one but you could help me Miss Gale. If it pleases you, it wui please me. Miss Gale shook her head, but at. ter a few moments, she said, How will this doP Dear sir" Wait a moment," cried Mr. that seems rather a formal opening, doesnt it? How would It read if you put it Dear friend? If you wish it so." She crossed out the sir and substituted tha word suggested. Then she read th Den-ha- letter.

Th business In, and has txen for several years, very prosperous, and. as I shall require no capital rom you, I think you will find my offer a very " advantageous one.

A moment later she read. join me in this business.

I think that covers the wholt ground. It will look rather short, wont It? Perhaps you might add something to show that I shall be exceedingly disappointed i! my offer is not accepted. No fear, said Miss Gale. Til add that though. Yours truly, or Yours very truly P " You might end It Your Friend." Next morning Miss Gale came Into Mr. Denham's office with a smile on -- No, n, type-writte- ill her face. You made a funny mistake last night, Mr. Denham, she said, as she took off hor wraps. Did I? he asked in alarm. Yes. You sent that letter to my address. I got it this morning.
