The McKinley Tariff Act So Declared by the Snpreme Court otthe United State*. The McKinley tariff act was declared to be constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States, in a decision rendered by J ustice Harlan. The cases on whieh the decision was based wore those of Marshall Field of Chicago, and of New York merchants, who protested against the payment of duties on certain woolen dress goods and other importations on the ground that the McKinley bill was not a legal and constitutional enactment by reason of the omission from the enrolled of the tobacco rebate clause, agreed to in the connerenco and contained in the bill wheji it passed both houses. The Court holds this omission does not make the bill illegal. It also holds that the reciprocity and sugar bounty sections of the bill arc constitutional. It was contended that the reciprocity section was unconstitutional because it delegated legislative cowers to the executive. The Chief Justice and Justice Lamar dissented from the opinion of the Court They contended that the legislative function was delegated to the President by the act conspiracy thwarted. A Bold Attempt on the Lite ot the Czar of Russia. St Petersburg special: It is learned that conspirators attempted to murder the Czar while he was on his way to the fortress of St Peter and St Paul and situated on an island in the River Neva, upon the occasion of the funeral on January 29, last, of the Grand Duke Constantine, the uncle of the Czar. The conspirators, it would seem, planned to kill the Czar while he was on the way to the cathedral, but were arrested before they could carry out the plot A number of military and several civil officers, two of whom have since committed suicide, are said to have been connected in the conspiracy. Twenty students, several minor officers of the Government and a number of other people are under arrest, charged with being concerned, either directly or indirectly, with the latest attemt to kill the Czar. The news of the discovery of this plot has been carefully kept from the Czarina, whose health is said to be so delicate that any severe shock might* prove fatal to her mind if it did not cause her death. The New Party’* Candidate. A special from Cincinnati contains an interview with A. W. Wright, a member of the National Executive Board of the Khights of Labor, in which Mr. .Wright is reported as saying that the presidential candidate of the third party has already been decided upon. The dispatch further states that it is learned that Judge Walter Q. Gresham is the man. Judge Gresham was interviewed by a reporter, but would only reply “I don’t know,” when asked if it was true he was to be the candidate chosen by the third party. He made the same reply when asked if he would accept such a nomination, and refused to talk further on the subject Took the Keeley Core. Cheyenne (Wyo.) special: Edward Chaffee, a prominent merchant of Fort Collins, Col., came here to take the Keeley cure for alcoholism.

At Delaware, Ohio, JacobHoru, son of John Horn, a Big Four engineer, fell from a coal car. The right arm between the shoulder ail'd elbow was horribly stripped of the flesh, the muscles being torn loosc from the shoulder. 1 The bone of the arm w;.s laid bare, • and his shoulder and head were, badly bruised and cut. The left thigh-bond was also fractured and the left hand badly torn. The mutilated body of the poor,. boy, who suffered excruciating pain every minute, presented a pitiful sight, as it was borne home to the grief-stricken mother. The was absent on his regular run..

Dy. Hedges, the Big Four physician r dressed the wounds, but grave tears art entertained for the mutilated arm, am it is feared amputation will be necas sary from the bone drying up. MOB RULE. A Terrible Bread Riot In Barlin. , Berlin special: That the spirit of discontent is spreading with alarming force among the masses of the German Empire was exemplified here, when a body of l 3,000 or 4,000 unemployed workmen met by preconcerted arrangement in a public square and passed a series of inflammatory resolutions denouncing their employers and the system of government which enabled the latter to crush the workingman beneath the iron heel of capital, and calling upon the government to take steps to protect the interests of the working classes. They formed in line and marched toward the Kaiser’s castle. They had nearly reached the castle gates when a detachment of police suddenly threw themselves between the rioters and the castle and made a determined charge upon the head of the workingmen’s column. The latter, for a ipomentor so, nerved by the roaring cheers of thousands, bravely and stubbornly withstood the attacks of the police, and, pressed onward by those in the rear, actually managed to gain* headway and to beat back the powerful police department. The latter, however, rallied, and, hitting furiously right and loft, wounded scores upon scores of workmen, who fell bleeding beneath the feet of the officers of the law. As darkness came on the mob increased in number and grew more dangerous in temper. The various bands must have numbered several thousands. They had no organized leadership, but they held virtual possession of the eastern quarters of Berlin, especially of Frankfurter and Weissonberger street In Gruenweig btrasse the mob attacked the houses and shops demanding bread and beer. They pillaged the bake shops and divided the oread among ail who wanted it The half famished people seized and devoured the food with a wolfishness which was eloquent of their misery and hunger. Some men left the mob and hurried homo with loaves in their arms, to their starving families. Others sat down on the street and banqueted on the spoilt Meantime the conflict ragfid between the police and the mob, the former gradually gaining ground. The police were directed with much judgment and skill, their instructions being to aim for the capture, or, if necessary, the killing of those who appeared to be leaders. This they carried out, and as fast as one who seemed to be a ringleader was taken he was hurried away to prison. In this way the mob was kept disorganized and prevented from forming in any formidable group. Large numbers were wounded, more or less severely, but it it is not known at this moment whether any one was killed or not, A multitude of prisoners were taken and lodged under a strong guard in the cells. LOST AT SEA! Fifty-five Passenger* Drowned.’ London special: A fearful disaster Involving a loss of about fifty-five lives, has occurred in the North Sea, of the coast of Yorkshire. England. The full details have not yet been received. It appears from brief dispatches that the two British steamships, the Forest Queen and the Lough brow, came into collision, near the promontory known as Flambough Head, which rises, with the lighthouse that crowns it, to a height ot 214 feet above the North Sea. The collision appears to have come without the slightest warning. The two vessels ■crashed together, the bow of the Loughbrow cutting the Forest Queen in two. In an instant almost without a cry the Forest Queen sank, and every soul on board, passengers and crew to the number of fifty-five with one exception, were drowned. The captain of the Forest Queen being on deck at the time appears to have been pulled on board the Loughbrow. The latter vessel, while considerably injured, is not hurt enough to sink her. Great excitement reigns at Fiambough Head, and assistance has been sent to the scene of the wreck. GbV. MCKINLEY Ask* Aid for the Russian Famine Sus. refer*. Gov. McKinley has issued a proclamation to the people of Ohio calling their attention to the widespread famine in the Empire of Russia and its 20.000,000 of starving sufferers. He savs: “No other country in the world is enjoying such prosperity as the United States, and no State is more blessed than Ohio. The cry of humanity for bread should be ■ generously responded to by the American I people. As the Governor of. the State , I hereby officially call attention to the great calamity and to the organized efforts to relievo the starving Russian j peasants in confidence that the people of s the commonwealth will bountifully con- ’ tribute.

A My*terloa* LntZer. Tfie postdffiee authorities at Manchester, N. 11., are engaged in unraveling a Shortly before New Years a letter was mailed to a lady in Franklin. \lt was made up of letters from a newspaper and so arranged as to read: “Will you, be convinced? Wish you a happy New Year.” It contained a large sum of riiohey in United States greenbacks. The lady to whom it was addresed refused to receive it and it was sent to the Dead Lqtter Office, whence it was forwarded here for investigation. Unless its sender appears, the money will be turned into the National

Treasury. Enormous Pressure. A test of the Brown segmental tube 1 wire gun made at Birdsboro, I’a , produced a pressure of more than 53,000 pounds to the square inch in the cylinder made to represent the powder chamber ot the gun, and the cylinder not only withstood this enormous strain, but afterward showed not the slightest trace of having been subjected to it The lining tube, the breech plug, the segments, the wire-winding, and the gas checks were entirely uninjured, ana careful star-gauging showed that there was no enlargement of the bore whatever. Attacked hy Muak-Kats. - The HFytfaiodra'stm of a farmer living in Teagarden. Afiio, who had beenjn the habit of catching musk-rats in a trap, was terribly’ scratched and bitten by these animals. He had caught one in his trap and had seized a dub to kill it. when it gave a death wall, which caused! the banks of the airly swarm with them. They attacked him on everyjsipe. ami but for his dog, which sprang on them ftnd killed seventeen while the rest escaped, it might have pfoved a desperate battle. Montevideo on the Eve of a Military UpriHing. v, A Montevideo djsjmtch says: The situation of irTaTfß~Ts regarded with so much alarm by the authorities that al) tke army chiefs have been changed.

Ho strongly com- ’ mends the progress of the work, saying 1 that from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 more 1 seem necessary, but declines to make i specific recommendation because of want . of data. He declares, however, that . liberality on the part of the United s States is due to the foreign governments . who had so generously responded. Convict* Who Draw I'enalon*. Between twenty-five and thirty pris- . oners in the Penitentiary at Jackson, ■ Mich., receive pensions from the Gov- . ernment Those that let it accrue have . snug sums awaiting them when they are , released.

Johnson County’s Disgrace, The report of the grand jury of Johnson County, Ind., before Judge Hackney, shows that the Orphans’ Home, Hope- ; well, is a disgrace to the county. The children were found insufficiently clothed and not properly fed. The rooms are desolate looking, and many of them damp and unfit for occupancy for several weeks. Citizens of the place have been indignant over this state of affairs for some time, and it is probable decisive - action will be taken soon. A Strangs Creature. A strange creature was pardoned by Gov. Buchanan of Kentucky, on the application of thirteen physicians who declared that their inability to determine what sex the convict is and that there is 1 no suitable place to confine him, her, or ' it. The convict’s name is Hannah Baz, aged 19, and to all appearances, so far 1 as face, hands, and feet go, is that of a woman. Hannah was dressed as a man, but objected to being placed with other men convicts. Cremated the Suicide. Perry Beck, a prosperous young farmer living at New Ross, Ind., committed suicide in a peculiar manner. Retiring to his room he tied a short stick to the trigger of a shot-gun, loaded, and placing the muzzle against his heart, pressed upon the stick with his foot, discharging the gun and blowing a hole entirely through his body. The wadding of the gun ignited the clothing of the suicide and burned the body to a charred mass, A Saloon Scattered. A few months ago Jacob Barnhart started a saloon at North Grove, Miama County, Ind., in spite of the vigorous protests of the people.

No self-respecting Senator ever allows his knife to get within a foot of his jugular. Members of the House may, perhaps, elevate their pork and beans to the mouth level without the assistance of a fork, but the dignified Senator never permits the glittering steel greater altitude than the third button on his vest. The day for eating with your knife was cut short by that happy invention —the four-pronged fork. Popular interest in Senators Increases in a greater ratio than doos the number of those more or less distinguished legislators. The thousands of visitors who daily tramp through and around and about the Capitol delight in prying into the senatorial existence; they occupy the Senate floor until removed by the opening of the session and the energy of several employes; they survey Senators from the galleries and criticise their respective and generally respectable appearance; they peep through halfopened committee-room doors and reach the apex of the tourist's bliss when they behold a Senator engaged in the consumption of food. "He’s eatln’ raw oysters," said a stranger to his wife the other day. The couple had, from afar, followed one of the Senators who represent their State, to the Senate restaurant. The male tourist watched the alleged legislator commence feeding, and then reported to the waiting but equally curious female. The Senate restaurant is an interesting place. Business does "not really commence until noon, but for half an hour thereafter there is no rush. Then I SENATOB COKE IS A PIE EATER. comes the crowd of hungry ones, and from 12:30 until after two o’clock the waiters hardly have time to perspire. Every table has its quota of occupants, and the string < f humanity that leans up against thh long counter is tolerably continuous. It is a good place to find almost any lost one, whether Senate or Senator employe, to say nothing of the liberal sprinkling of newspaper men who hurry In and out, combining the hasty pleasure of eating with the business of gathering information. To feed all these hungry ones Mr. Page has to employ about thirty people —twelve of them in the kitchen—and they all have reasonable opportunity to earn their recompense. Three dusky retainers attend to the customers at the lunch counter, transmit orders of waiters to the kitchen and hand out the tangible responses. Os these James Lewis is chief. He is invariably designated “Lewis,” and he probably would not know that he was being spoken to if otherwise addressed. His business-like silence Is as marked as his businesslike ability. But it was not the average luncher that a Washington Star reporter became interested in. He had both eyes on Senators and on the men who do their bidding in the private diningrooms—from Head Waiter Dick Shaw, portly, suave and solidly respectable, down to the latest of Mr. Page's appointees. There Is abroad in the land a vaguer impression to the effect that Senators subsist principally on terrapin and champagne. It may be necessary to state that this impression is erroneous. Senators eat just about as do other men whose circumstances are on about the same financial level—they seem to have In them a great deal of human nature. More democratic, broadly speaking, and more simple in his stomachic appetite than any other Senator is Senator f • Fbl-TOX I4KIIS FORK AND BEANS. Coke of Texas.

counter. Mr. Blair's departure from the Senate loaves Senator Coke i* undisputed possession of that coiintor. But there are good feeders In the Senate and the kind* of luncheon they daily dispose of could not be served on |he counter. Perhaps the most consistently “good" are Senators McMillan, Washburn, Hoar and Squire. McMillan and Washburn generally lunch together, and they eat steaks and chops and salads and such like solid goods. Senator Squire believes in the same sort of food. Senator Hoar once excited much popular commiseration by stating that codflish was his staple article of diet. That may be the main source of his nutriment at home, but in the Senate his tendencies are toward tarrapin or broiled oysters; none of the waiters ever heard him mention codfish. Blackburn’s favorite dish is deviled ham. Teller manages to get along very nicely with a modicum of cold tongue or corned beef. Sawyer is devoted to custard pie and milk; ho likes a liberal sprinkling of cheese with his pie. Another lover of pie Is Wilson; the variety is apple, and it must be hot. Frye believes broiled oysters to be satisfactory, but Stanford prefers lamb chops or calves' liver and bacon. Fulton is very fond of pork and beans. Sanders, like nearly all the other Northwestern Senators, consumes oysters; he likes them raw—the rawer the better. Davis lives well; sirloin steaks are his weakness. Manderson is also properly fed; oysters are a specialty, and a chafing dish stew is tlie N i PROCTOR AND KYLE EAT OYSTERS. favorite. Hawley consumes oysters. Allison thrives on graham broad toast and a pot of tea. Hale wants a bowl of custard and a glass of milk. Gorman figures out the moves on the national chess board while disposing of cold turkey. Harris has an affection for oysters that have been broiltd. Vance eats but little. He is satisfied generally with a sandwhich, a glass of milk and, sometimes, an apple. Faulkner devours the raw oyster; Blodgett, the sirloin steak. Cockrell is an infrequent visitor. He eats the simplest fare. McPherson is very regular on baked apple dumpling.
