. NOW FOR THE TARIFF Senator Jones of Nevada Will Probably Agree to a Report. MR. BAYARD ENTERS A DENIAL. i > \ B*y* the Report That He Contemplate* Resigning “la the Utmost Htuff and Nonaenae” — Hou*e ]>i*cu*«eii the Propriety of (living Money to Sectarian Charitable Institutions. Washington, Feb. 4.—The expectation is based upon the belief that, now that the silver bond bill has been disposed of by the senate, Senator Jones of Nevada will no longer insist upon holding the tariff bill in committee. He has , not, so far as can bo learned, given his assent in explicit terms, and when spoken to on the subject he said that he had not yet definitely decided upon a course of action. The committee agreed, at his request, at a meeting held on Tuesday of last week to allow the tariff question tn go over until today’s meeting, notwithstanding the Republican members were anxious at that time to secure a report, even though it should be adverse to the bill. They want to get the bill before the senate in some shape. The friends of the bill argue that any efforts to have the bill amended would be futile, as the Republican members * are under instructions from their caucus to admit no amendments, and the Democrats ar© committed to the existing law. Hence they conclude that there could be no object in been suggested that Mr. Jones may want to offer a frbe coinage amendment in committee, but he has not intimated such a purpose,audit is understood that ip case he should do so he would be opposed by the other silyer men on the committee. For these reasons the advocates of the bill feel sure of securing a report. They expect amendments to be offered in the senate, among others one for free coinage, but they say that such an amendment on the tariff bill will be voted down, and that they are fairly confident of passing it practically as it comes from the house. To do this they will have to secure all the Republican votes and at least one Populist vote. DISCUSSES CHARITIES. Appropriations For Sectarian Institutions Causes a Debate In the House. Washington, Feb. 4. —The house spent yesterday discussing a series of amendments to strike from the District of Columbia appropriation bill bight npprbpriatious aggregating $:j4,060 for the maintenance of destitmU women and children in wirious private and sectarian charitable in the district . It was the ainiounyfd purpose of Mr. Hainer (Rep., Nw.), who led the fight, to place the aWfiropriations in the hands of a board of/children’s guardians created several/years ago. The amendments opened up a wide field of discussion as to the policy of appropriating public money for private and sectarian institutions! and Mr. Eobortson (Dem., La.), a member of fie appropriations committee, made the direct charge that the war on these appropriations had been inaugurated by the A. P. A. This phase of the matter, however, was approached with great caution, the advocates of the amendments placing their opposition on the broad ground of antagonism to appropriations for sectarian purposes. MAKES A STRONG DENIAL. Ambassador Hayar.l Says His Reported Resignation Is “Stiiir and Nonsense.” London, Feb. 4.—Ambassador Bayard was interviewed last night relative to a report circulated by a news agency in thb United States that he had author- . ized President Cleveland to announce his resignaitTon in the event of a vote of censure passing the house of representatives at Washington. Mr. Bayard said: “I deny any such report with indignation. I never dreamed of any such thing. It is the til most stuff and nonsense.” . Story as Told In the House. Washington, Feb. 4.—Yesterday’s sensation in the house was the positive statement on the floor, privately, that Ambassador Bayard had cabled the secretary of state that ;if the house adopted the resolution of censure he would resign. Congressman Barrett (Rep., Mass.), author of the resolution, was activd-on the floor telling members of Mr. Bayard’s threat. SILVER. BILL IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Dingfey’s Idea of “HyasOnable Timo” For a Financial Debate. Washington, Feb. 4. — The senate free coinage bill, which was referred to the ways and means committee, will be reported back today or tomorrow with the recommendation that the house nonconcur and insist on its bill. Mr, Dingley, chairman, of the ways and means committee, says “that reasonable time” for debate will be allowed. The silver Republicansifave asked that six hours of time lie alloted to them for I uenating ine mil. ft is probable they will be given three hours. Representative Hartman of Montana will lead the silver men, and allot the time to his colleagues. It is estimated that the white metal advocates will only be able to muster between 100 and 125 votes.

the appropriation bill providing that all children of a marriage between a white man and an Indian woman shall have the same righto and privileges to the property and annuities of the tribe to which the mother belongs as any other member of the tribe.

FORT THOMAS MURDER. No Clue as Yet to the Identity of the Beheaded Woman.

It is '■ .111 lieved, however, that a soldier at l<‘o: r I aomas murdered some Cincinnati woina i on account of jealousy and cut off her head to prevent identification and detection. The officers are ;it sea more than ever. They have followed the clues a£out dozens of women who have been absent from their homes for days and weeks ami found them in resorts or elsewhere instead of the victims of Jack the Ripper, and they now want more evidence than the absence of some woman for another chase. ATTACKED BY A LEOPARD. Young John Robinson Seriottsl.v Injured by an Escaped Animal. Cincinnati, Feb. 4. —A fierce leopard belonging to Robinson’s circus, in winter quarters a few miles east of this city, escaped from his cage to a hgdgt near by. The keepers and others' tried to scare it back to the quart ers by firing blank at it. ' John G. Robinson, son of Manager John F. Robinson, fired a round when within 25 feet of the animal. This so enraged it that it leaped upon Robinson and alniost killed him. Its long claws lacerated his head and body and it sunk its teeth into his sCalp. The animal was finally beaten off and killed with a load of buckshot. It was valued at $2,000. Young Robinson’s condition is serious. .Giving Dunraven Good Advice. London, Feb. 4. — The St. James Gazette says: What is Lord Dunraven waiting for? Today we hoped to be able to publish his. apology to the American nation, and we trust that all his-friends will impress upon him that speed is the essence of grace in an occasion of this sort. For the credit of British sport ami English gentlemanly traditions, Lord Dunraven must not hestitate. Every day and every bom - lost would now lie an additional insult.

Chattanooga^Letter. Editor Democrat: permit me to give your readers Jf >d my many friends a brief and no doub*/ery interesting history of the hUtorip'points and views of this wonderful qf d picturesque part of this mountainoi/ country ? Jn which lam sojourning- iam going around from place to pface prying into matters of the past; I ’ first find the city of Chattanooga a perfect picturesques scenery in itself, and can best be explained or compared to a large dish pan. The bottom js the city and the sides the mountains, surrounding and completely inclosing the same. Before starting out giving my own experience during my stay afthis place, I wish to give a brief military, history of this particular point in our late war. During the rebellion we all know this country belonged to the confederate people and from history we all know this city was first occupied by confederate troops tn the spring of 1802, under Generals Floyd, Maxey and Fedbettee, afterward.Union tropS under Gen. Michel shelled the city on June 7th and Bth. Braggs army occupied it in August* the same year prepairing for the Kentucky campaign; then again in the fail on its return from Kentucky and in the summer of 1863 when rv ; tireing before Rosecrau from middle Tenn. Wilder shelled the city again from Stringer’s ridge on August 21. ■: . Gen. Braggs evacuated it Sept., ..£? and 8 after which a small Union force to<%possesion. Then Rosecrau occupied it again “on the second morning after the dreadful struggle at Chickamauga a.: if thereafter it remained in Union control. General Thomas succeeded Rosecransun October Will the same year, and Gen. Grant and Gen. Uommant took possession October •JU . A short line of supplies to Bridgeiport by ' Brown's feriy was opened October 28, according to a plan devised by »i< n. Rosecrans. At this time Hookers forces arrived in Lookout Valley and on that day fought the Battle of Walthall. General Sherman’s troops crossed the Tennes> e river above the city of Chattanooga on Nov. 23. and on the same day the army of the Cumberland carried Orchard Km >. where General Grant established headquarters. on Nov. 23. * . —-' T* “1 Hookers Column captured the north slope of Lookout mountain. Then on Nov 25 Missionary Ridge, excepting Clebur-'s position at Tunnel Hill, as well as the intervening line to Waithall's strfnd north -f Delongs was captured by Gen. Gra: s combined Union Armies. At this time Gen. Braggs was returning with his ar ay to Dalton, Ga. I mightigo on giving many more historical points of interest had I " Lime and spave,. however, wishing to the readers a"few of the many views of i terest to which I hive gave my own attenlion on and' around tile great and m -1 pWonderful formation of rock called Le.. - out Mountain. High and steep with a shuddering sensation penetrating ones v< • v bones, 1 had not only the courage but i . pleasure as well of standing upon .1 i< quiss of rock beholding the g mountains and the many" .bi'-hfe fields iipml • which many, yea jib :y thousand union as well as nonunion n >'n were shot down like wild game for out w prosperous country. First of all 1 wis! 6 draw the attention of the reader to a i v and wonderful constructed incline read ”‘- ijj.griing at the loot of this lookout..

BUit going back to Point Lookout, 1 wi-h to Lay that the great historian, Ban- ' croft, at/ the age of 87, stood on this very saying: “in all my travels I have ■•ver sei m the scene to exceed its sublime ■ .livlnn I’’ Right in front of this point is he terminus of another incline, whlcfr Is -ni<l to| be the longest and only one ever ■ tilt with curves. \i tivls point where this peculiar mocassin is formed by natural winding tifa river i l.i'tXi feet wide and the rock al. this point, and upon which I stand at this writing is wdd to be I.RpO feet above the city of Chat--1 inooga. This is also the point where the I nion flag was planted Nov. 24, 1882. 1 am told, and we also learn from history that it was the Btli Kehtuckey Regiment. who;| planted the Union flag on this • rock, ftnd to this day there is still a Union Hag proclaiming freedom at this point, previous to this we know by history this point (was occupied by Confederate, armies as a signal point during the late war. Nearly all trees of any consequence are cut oil forty or fifty feet high and used as signal poiutk. As 1 look up I imagine seeing Jetf’qcoons sitting up; there watching.the Yanas. I stood on the very rock where Jeff bavis made’his last speech, in which I he sard to his men: "If every possible ! devise failed they had enough rock to roll j dowii-ffihlkill every yanklin the country.” I Aud/yet they were ail driven down from J a p >int that seems as if a handful of Union /neu could hold against the world. 1 1 thought, poor innocent devil, just as if the yanks could not have dodged those rock"y This is also the place from which can be seen seven stales, the only place this can be done in America, 'Die different states are: Georgia, Alabama. North,and South CiVrolina, Kentucky Virginia and Tennessee My next, visit was to Roper’s Rock. This rocii is 1,700 feet high and came by its name after a corporal of Co., C. 78th Regiment of Pennsylvania who stepped off backwards and was instantly killed. Next I visited the Ellis Rock. This rock is directly in front of Lookout Inn and affords a grand view of a beautiful valley, the i Tennessee river. Mocassin Bend and ■ Cameron Hill These are all battle-fields. • Then comes the Lula Falls. They are loI cated about eight guiles south of Lookout Point, on a very fine, Boulavard, making a very fine trip for strange visitors. The falls are 115 feethigh and and affords a beautiful scenery. Going back to Lookout Point. I wish to say that right in the foreground of this Lookout Mountain is a large house resting on a plateau below the point rock, opethonsand feet above the river and memor- | able in history as the headquarters of the Confederate General. Walthall. Around this house on Nov., 24, was fought one of the most romatic battles of the civil war and was called the battle above the clouds. Next is a scene of ruins, formerly the Cravens' House, and near by a stone milk celler, behind which the Craven family ami the occupants took "refugii? while this hous£ was destroyed bv a trileral battery located on Mocassin Point.~H-''was imnuSftttely rebuilt after the war and is now staffi®Ng on its former foundation. The Ine,xt interesting feature of this 'mountain is a large formation of sandstone which is very high and resembles a large umbrella. This seems the favorite spot for visitors to stand on top of this umbrella and and ‘have their picture taken. Yon can see this photo at my room on Michigan Ave.. South Bend. Indiana. Imtijeiiiately under this Point Rock is another hotel called Point Hotel. This point shows the west slope of Lookout where Hooker’s army ascended the mountain to a plateau where the battle above the clouds was fought. The next historical poinit is a mass of | rock nearly 100 feet high, and seperate from each other aijd called twin sisters-. These rocks are one of the many wonderful formations belonging to this rocky and mountainous city of Lookout. My next interesting visit was to Sunset Rock. This is also aumiig the points of inU'Test This rock;is 1.500 feet high, projecting boldly out from the west side.of the mountain,, upon which I had the pleasure of seeing a magnificent scene of a clear day sunset. On this high rock is located a photograph gallery, sei'iirely anchored, and here also hundreds of visitors have their pietures taken. The next poipt of interest 1 shall speak of, ami possibly the last, is the 'w onderful formation of a natmal bridge. This formation of solid rock is about 80 feet in length and'.! or 10 feet wide and about 7 feet thick and > forms a complete bridge on which pedestians can. if they diMre. cross a small stream of water, eg if they prefer crossing on a wooden bridge, nearly direct .under this natural bridge do so. Immediately to one side of thil natural bridge is a spring of water coining through this great' and wonderful' mas- of rock. Here any one can help them'svlves. withaeoinmon tlncup. to as.Jjpe and almost ice void drink Os water .as limy be wished for. immediately to the lel.l of this* rock bridge is seen a formation of rock resembling a •large wolly . headed ’ lien with it- mouth wide open, seemingly ready to devour you, - ' ami yet i am toht no one has < ver been molested or harmed by this inoiisteu.

Senator Jones Changes His Mind About For6ing,a Decision. CHANDLER BECOMES SARCASTIC. Mr. Stewart Says the Silver Amendment Will Be Germane to the Kevenue Bill, and the Members Will Be Given Their I Choice Between Silver and Tariff— Dependent Pensions Act Amended. Washington, Jan. 31.—A very animated debate closed the senate session late yesterday’ afternoon over the question of taking the vote on the pending silver bond bill. It had been expected throughout the day that Mr. Jones of in charge of the measure, (would hold the senate in session until a Vote was forced. He had given notice Os thlß purpose, aud senators were preit. But at 4:15, when Mr. the floor for a speech, he yielded for a motion to go into executive session. Mr. Jones explained that it was proposed to take a recess until today. He felt satisfied, he said, that a Vote could be taken in the near future. This led to much discussion. Mr. □handler was sarcastic at the abandonment of a plan for a vote. Mr. Stewart declared that it was no difference when h vote was taken. It was all “dress i parade” and “buncombe.” He added i the significant statement that the pending silver amendment would be germane as an amendment to the tariff bill, and that when the latter measure came before the senate he would offer a silver amendment to test deuators ou their choice between silver and tariff. After lengthy discussion the senate went into executive session, and then , took a recess until today without aiiy exact- understanding as to the vote, although the talk had shown a purpose to secure a vote tomorrow.
