Lewis tells a story on Congressman Joe Bailey, for which, however, he quotes Senator A. M. Carter of Fort Worth as authority. “One day,” said Lewis, “Carter and Joe Bailey were standing on the streei when they saw approaching them u » darky mounted on a frisky ajid spirited horse, whose fine appearance caught the fancy of Carter, who is a lover of fine horseflesh. Carter hailed the darky and remarked: “That's a pretty spirited animal you are riding, old man. Is he a good runner?” “ ‘Well, no, sah, he isn’t much of a runnin boss,’ replied the rider. , j “ ‘Oh, then he is a good trotter,T suppose,’ -remarked Carter. sah, he ain't no trotter neither,* - said Scipio Africanus. “‘Oh, I see,’ejaculated Carter; ‘he is a No. 1 pacer.' | “ ‘No, sah, dis boss airft no trotter, nor ho ain't no pacer needer.’ ‘“Welk what is he fit for anyhow? asked Carter. c “ ‘Just iter prance aroun an look fine boss/ replied th.• ‘darky, ‘an dat’s why ; has onl'.-u -'a ■■ : ■'iiu-nt named him arte,' ' Marse.-Joe Bailey dur.’” —G-alvestoY News. _ _ I lf< ain the city stop at tlie’C. & 1 . 11. ery and Restaurant. for the best j mealsand lunch.

TOI.II fDTKK STOHY. . Armed Dummy Used to Assist In Robbing a Peddler, YOUNG MAN’S CONFESSION. Unique Method of Intimidating; a Hebrew Held Vt» on a Public —Child Kidnaped In Chicago and a Man Killed For Attempting to Interfere —Record of Other Crimes. Paris, Tex., July 23.—A young man named Joseph Fletcher walked into the. office of the United States marshal and said he wanted to surrender. He is charged with robbery, and explained that he wanted to get the matter off Ins mind. Fletcher said that last w nter he robbed a Hebrew peddler near Kosoma, I. T. His plan was unique. The peddler had a man employed to haul him and his effects across"the country. Fletcher made a dummy and stood it near the road, .with a gun pointed .toward the highway. When the wagon came to a point opposite.ihe dummy Fletcher commanded the■ occupants to hold up their hands. Looking around, they saw him with a revolver in hand and the dummy with its gun leveled. Their hands went up, and Fletcher went through the peddler, but only secured $4.50 and a cheap watch. "Fletcher said he was disgusted and had a notion of beating th peddler for lying, as he had heard him bragging as to what a good business he w ,s doing, and supposed he would get a good roll. Fletcher went to jail. KIDNAPING AND MVBbEK. Child Stolen and a Man Shot For Interfering. Chicago, July 23. —Last evening William Fletcher attempted to kidnap his 3-year-old daughter from the home of her mother, in the stockyards district. Fletcher and wife had separated. After having secured the child he ran down the street, pursued by his wife, who was screaming for assistance. Fred Essen- , zler attempted to stop the father. In the : scuffle between the two men Fletcher drew a revolver and shot Effenzler twice, killing him instantly. The shooting brought a large crowd to the scene, 1 as well as the police. Fletcher fled, pursued by the officers, who were followed by a mob. When he was captured * the crowd behaved so riotously that as- > sistance was sent for and when the patrol > wagon arrived considerable clubbing : was necessary to get him to the statiom Held Up. ■ Guthrie, O.

TARIFF INTEREST. It Centers In the Senate Effort to Settle the Controversy. LIVELY TIMES JUST NOW. Mr. Vilas’ Sugar Amendment the Ab- ' sorbing Question at Issue. TO BE NO MINCING OF WORDS. Question* Rained by the Publication of Mr. Cleveland’* Letter Being Discussed by Senator*, Some of Whom Defend I While Other* Make Show of Resentment Possible Motion to Indefinitely Postpone tlie Hill- -House Doing* Subject to Senate Action Sugar Investigation.- Pertinent Inquiries of Havemeyer. General New*. Washington, July 2!f.— The tariff fight is again on in the senate and all i interest in the proceedings for this week I centers in the efforts which will be made to settle the controversy as raised by the i report of the conference disagreement. I The week began witli this question in the foreground, and no one can foresee what amount of time will be consumed upon it or what will be tne result of the • debate which will be inaugurated. At this hour there is little doubt that today’s proceedings will be of a very animated character—probably no less so than those on Friday and possibly more so. All efforts to compromise the differences and to allay the feeling engendered by the president's letter to Mr. Wilson have so far been unavailing and the day’s session is developing a series of very interesting speeches which are character- . ized by words both plain and pointed. | Democratic senators generally agree that there is now no prospect of reaching an understanding in the party before the temper of the senate shall be still further i exploited before the country. Vilas’ Absorbing Amendment. Senator Hill’s motion to recede from the coal and iron schedule is first in order, but while the senator expects a few more votes than when he previously proposed making these articles free, he does not expect his motion to show any great strength. Interest centers in the Viles motion to strike out the sugar differential of one-eight of a cent on the refined article. The duration of the discussion upon this amendment will depend largely upon the tinri when the proposed point of order is made against it. When a point of order is once made it lies with the chair to say how long debate upon it shall continue, and with &?nator Harris in the chair the cessation might be Very radden. It is a general feeling, however, that the point will not 1 be presented at the beginning of the debate. Several senators are determined to speak upon the general questions., which the publication of Mr. Cleveland’s letter has raised, and these speeches will find vent in some other connection if not in that, and there will be no mincing of words.

Speeches to Be Made. Senator Gorman is slated for a speech during the day, and those who are in bis confidence say he considers that the president’s letter is directed largely at himself and that his utterances will show his, resentment. He will take the position the senate bill must be sus- 1 tained and will give his reasons therefor. I Senators Mills and Vilas lead the fight for the latter’s motion and sustain the president’s position. Mr. Mills will take issue with those who consider it out of order, and will contend that a ruling, to sustain the point of order would be unconstitutional, saying that the greater of moving', to amend a bill in conference by receding from an entire amendment carries with it the lesser privilege of receding from a part of any amendment. The Texas and Wisconsin I senators are regarded as 5, the especial ! champions of the president on the issues 1 now at stake, and it is intimated that one of the reasons is that they may refute the charge made in certain quarters that the president’s letter was intended to support the argument for a duty on refined sugar as against coal and iron ore and other raw materials. Senators Voorhees, Brice and Lindsay are among' the others booked to speak. If the Motion Falls. If the Vilas motion should be declared out of order there will be an effort to renew it in some other form, possibly by amen ling Senator Gray’s motion to recommit the bill to the conference committee without instruction. It now appears quite certain that the advocates of the motion will exhaust unparliamentary resources to have instructions given as implied by the motion. If they should not succeed in this, there will then be an effort to pass Senator Gray’s motion to send the bill back to the conference without instructions, under which arrangement the conferrees would recommend the striking out of the sugar differential if they shquld see fit. There is real apprehension on the part of the friends of the bill that there will be a motion to postpone the bill indefinitely. The discovery that such a motion was contemplated Friday was the reason for the adjournment over until Monday, and it is, believed by those on the inside that if the motion had been made and had not been ruled out on a point of order it would have carried. The same apprehension is felt in case the motion should now be entered. Kindly Printer Kitted. Albany, July 23.—Thomas McCloskey, a well known printer, to assist a lit tle girl to recover her pocketI book, lost his balance and fell from tha j Greenbush bridge yesterday afternoon.

PERTINENT INQtIRIHS. Chairman of Trust Committee Want* Answer* From Havemeyer. Washington, July 28. — Chairman Harter of the house committee on trusts is seeking information from President Havemeyer of the American Sugar Refining company, and propounds these questions: What is the present tax value (that is, cost of replacing) of the plants actually in operation and necessary to produce a quantity of refined sugar turned out by your company? What have been the actual profits of the company for each full fiscal year since Its organization, and what are its profits so far in the current year? What annual salary is paid to each of its general officers? What is the actual paid in cash capital, including the plants turned in at their real cash market value, and what is the present surplus fund of the company, including all Individual profits? In his letter Mr. Harter outlines that if the company cannot exist without protection it is as much entitled to be fed from public resources as many industries which the Wilson bill allowed to remain on the “charity list.” On the other hand, if profits have been excessive Mr. Havemeyer must agree that the trust should not have legislative favors. He promises to lay the information befoi'e the house. STRIKE COMMISSION. President Cleveland Reported to Have Made His Selections. Washington, July 23.—1 tis stated on what is considered reliable authority that the president has, in addition to Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, chosen Judge Lyman Trumbull of Chicago and a prominent New Yorker, who has always taken a deep interest in the cause of labor and whose judgment in questions of this kind is regarded as fair and impartial, to serve as members of the commission to investigate the Chicago strike. The name of the New Yorker, it is stated, has not been mentioned except in confidence to one or two of the president's advisers. It is asserted, however, that he has accepted and as soon as Junge Trumbull indicates his acceptance the commission will be announced. AFTER ONE MAN. He I* Suspected of Making All the Sugar Charges Against Senator*. Washington. July 23. —The senate sugar investigating committee has a clew and is trying to run it down. It is to the effect that stories accusing senators of speculating in stock emanated from one source, and the members think they are on the track of this. Testimony given Saturday points to a certain, individual who is not a resident of Washington, but his identity is carefully guarded while the effort is being made to get him before the committee. The committee refuses to give out testimony now being taken. The committee is not impressed with the charges, but will investigate with a view to doing justice to the accused. WARNED OF THE PLAGUE.

Washington, .Trfy 23. —Dr. Stuart Eldridge, the health officer of the port | of Yokohama, in writing to_tjje-marine hospital burrau of the black plague in southern China, says: If I may presume to advise, I would say that the most stringent, measures may need to b" taken to protect the United I States, p irlieularly as Regards certain j classes of goods from China likely to con- I vey infection —-rags, old cotton, etc., and I also such manufactured articles as are j made in the native workshops with per- | haps .1 case of plague dying in the same I room; such tilings as straw matting, embroideries and every sort of textile fabrics. Hotike Conferrees Absent. Washington, July 23.—Three or four , of the house conferrees nave taken ad- j vantage of the senate struggle to get out j of town and secure much needed rest. Mr. Wilson is at his West Virginia home, Mr. Montgomery has gotie to Kentucky and Mr. McMillin to New Ybrk.” This leaves Mr. Turner as the only-house conferree in town. The house appears to be leaving the question en- , tirely with the senate for the present. f Call to Bimetallists. Washington. July 23. — President Warner of the American Bimetallic league has called a conference of those who favor the immediate restoration of a bimetallic* standard for Aug. 16. in Washington, to decide upon the policy to be pursued in securing this. Method of Electing Senators. Washington, July 23.—The house Saturday passed the resolution propos-j ing the election of senators by direct i vote of the people. The bill to restore' postal clerks dismissed early in the Harrison administration did not get through for lack of a quorum. Medal For a Hoosier.

New York, July 23.—The 2-masted schooner Robert H. Mitchell went down near Sea Bright. N. J., yesterday afternoon, and for 25 minutes the five men of her crew clung to the crosstrees while life-savers were making every effort to save them. Summer visitors along the ! shore saw the danger and were in great suspense. Among the excited spectators was ex-President Harrison. AH'were saved. APPEAL FOR FUNDS.

I;Lav YORK, July 23.—Samuel Gompers, i. ;-idi;nt of the Federation of Labor, , has issiiodfan appeal for funds-for the ! defense of' Eugene V. Debs.

CLEVELAND - GORMAN. “How the Truth Is Perverted Sometimes" au Editorial Theme. AN ECHO FROM MARYLAND The Baltimore Sun Relate* the Incident* of au Interview Between the President and Senator, and Say* Attack* Are All the More Dastardly a* the Former 1* Scarcely Permitted to Defend Himself. Baltimore, July 25.—Under the caplion, “How the Truth is Perverted ; Sometimes,” the Baltimore Sun today , says editorially: “The charges against the president and the hints and innuendoes which have been made in the senate are all the more dastardly because his position scarcely permits-him to protect himself. It will not do for the president of the United States to be bandying words with senators. It is just as well to state a few facts as they are given by those who are intimate with the circumstances. One day last week a close personal friend of Senator Gorman asked the president to send for Mr. Gorman and talk with him about the tariff bill, assuring him that it was his conviction that such an interview would go far toward settling the tariff deadlock. The gentleman who made this request of the president; was so close to Mr. Gorman that he had! every right to believe that the request I came from the senator himself. Alter I some hesitation. Mr. Cleveland wrote al note to Mr. Gorman, asking him to cornel to see him. and Mr. Gorman came. I Not a Stormy Interview. I | The interview, instead of being stormy,l as had been asserted, was as calm and! quiet as possible. The president did notl request him to make the speech, nor didl the senator give Mr. Cleveland any ideal pof the character of the speech he was! [ going to make, telling him only that hel I was going to make a brief statement on ■ facts. ,No one was more surprised at! the tenor of the speech than Mr. Cleve! i land. But more than anything else, the! president was astonished at the conduct! of the senator upon whom Mr. Gormai! called for corroboration. In their re! I marks in the senate they sought to rnakt! i it appear that the president had aban! doned his advocacy of free iron and coal!

Cleveland’s Astonishment. “Whatever was done by the preside! in this connection was done at the ea nest solicitation of the senators name Mr. Cleveland did not lay so much str® upon the form of the bill as it passed tl senate. He was assured, and he believei that defeats would be cured in the coi ference committee. It was the pres dent's earnest desire all along to get tl bill away from the senate, where the: was danger that it would be throttlei and into the conference ebumyttee, ar u> assist in tms he was urged by the co roborating senators. The astonishmei of the president, therefore, can be in agined when the senators tried-upon tl floor of the senate to have it appear thu he had abandoned his principles.” Senators Slapped Baltimore, Julj t 25.—Queen Am county, a stronghold of Maryland’s D mocracy, the native county of Senat Gibson and formerly a firm supporter - Senator Gorman, in convention gave tl Maryland senators a hard slap by d manding that the • ’nominee of the d; trict shall accord President Clevelat his full support and shall be sound < tariff reform, as the people are not d: posed to t ojprate nominees who will 1 actively support true Democratic pr: ciples.” ■ CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR.
