and foreign pauper labor.. The system inaugurated by the Kepubliqpn party in taxing uno American industry to protect another is an innovation that will be resented by the great mass of oar people, and hnrl any party from power that insanely attempts it. Tho Democratic party is committed to freo trade. It claims to be in favor of lessening taxes and reducing the tariff. If there is anything in their professions or in the principles laid down in their lato platform, then we confidently look to them to defeat this most pernicious measure. How they can do otherwise and be trne to their creed as laid down by their leaders is a matter that surprises and surpasses me. Gentlemen of the committee, this bill, stripped of all guise, resolves itself into this condition: The Western liog against the Southern negro which will winT There is another phase of this industry. There are supposed to be over two hundred oil-mills, most! v located at the South. They employ somewhere in the neighborhood of soventy-five thousand persons. More than three-fourths of this great number of employes are colored men. It would be safe to say that there are at least three persons who rely upon each of these seventy-five thousand persons for their support and living from this enterprise. The wages paid to these people aggregate $.'1,500,000 at the least calculation. The passage of this bill would close up many of those mills and throw thousands of dependent people out of employment, and entail hardships and want upon a people who are least able to stand it And all this to protect the Western hog.7' Kepresentative Adams of Illinois introduced to the committee Messrs. Counselman, and Murray Nelson, of tho Chicago Board of Trade, who appeared to oppose the Batterworth anti-option bill. Mr. Counselman occupied all the time of the committee. He stated that be indorsed, both in letter and spirit, the provisions of tho first section of the bill, forbidding any privilege or class dealing. That was a rule of the Board of Trade, The second section, which forbids the dealing by any one but the producer aud the purchaser direct from him in any article not in the possession of the seller, wiped out of existence the business of himself and all legitimate dealers, as well as the illegitimate. Mr. Counselman was asked if he could suggest any way by which tho illegitimate jpculation could he proscribed without affecting the legitimate, and said he could not, without time to consider the Bubject. The passage of the bill. Mr. Counselmen

said, would carnage tne iarraer more inan It could possibly aid him. If the producer lbould soli direct to the consumer, the farmers of Kansas and Nebraska, instead of receiving ten and fifteen cents a bushel for corn this winter, which was little enough, would not have received five cents abnshel. l"here must be middle men to handle the crops between the producer and the conearner. He advanced large sums of money to farmers on their crops, relieving present necessities, and enabling them to hold their grain for a rise in prices. The trouble that was sought to be alleviated by the bill arose from the dealings iu 'bucket-shops." which were in .existence all over the land - and whose proprietors make their t livelihood by a reduction in prices. To effect this reduction the com"bined "bucket-shop" power seeks to influence the prices on the Uoor of exchanges in the country, and it has been successful. As far as, it could tho Chicago Board of Trade has been lighting 'bucket-shops," which the speaker likened to faro-banks, the proprietor being the dealer. In answer to questions by members of the committee Mr. Counselman set forth the difference between transactions on a board of trade and in a "bucket-shop." In the latter there was no intention or ability to deliver anything: it was a gambling transaction pure and simple on the lluctuation in prices. Board of trade transactions were enforceable; they were based npon the actual existence ol the articles traded in. and the actual delivery of them was made. Mr. Counselman was given a copy of tho amended bill to study, with a view to suggesting a provision, if possible, by which legitimate dealers in grain and farm products may be protected and the business of tho "illegitimate speculators prohibited and abolished. CONGRESSMAN RANI) A IX. His Condition Precarious, but Ills Wonderful Vitality May Prolong Life. Washington, April 9. Representative Randall's condition to-night is just about the same as last night. lie is, if anything. a little easier, but this is duo to free flow from abscesses, and he may at any time have a recurrence of relapses, which eap .away his strength. He is in a precarious state, but has strength enough left, it is said, to resist the inroads of disease for the immediate present. The remarkable thing about bisillncssistheextraordinary vitality he exhibits. Ho rallies surprisingly, and, on several occasions, has astonished his physicians. Drs. Mallan and Lincoln, by his recuperative powers. His strength, however, is diminishing, and, though his "will-power remains unabated, his physical system responds much more slowly than some time ago. His mind has been clear all day, and be has been able to move himkimself about iu bed with but little assistance. In appearance he is wasted and gaunt to a degree that makes all the mpre remarkable the strength which still remains. Speaker 1'eed and others called at the house during tho day, but did not see the sick man. At midnight Mr. Randall's condition was about the same, but it cannot be told how soon another and more serious relapse may occur. MINOR MATTERS. .Disagreement Between the Senate and House on Public Building Appropriations. Fptclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 9. Mr. Cheadlo's bill providing for the construction of a public building at Lafayette is, with a lot of other public buildings, in tho hands of a conference committee for the purpose of determining the question whether these bills shall mate appropriations of the amounts named, or whether the appropriations shall be made in one of tho regularappropriation bills. The House holds that appropriations for public buildings should bo made in the regular sundry civil appropriation bill, while the Senate contends that, since tho public-building bills fix the amounts which the structures are to cost, thev might as well maketbe appropriations. If tho House should have its way there will be no delay in securing the appropriation. Farewell Lunch to a Former Indhtnlan. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wasiiington, April 0.

LIVING IN FEAK OF DEATH

Tho Czar Still iu a Nervous Condition, and theCzarina Verging on Insanity, Southern Kussia Overrun by Millions of Field Mice Which Devour Everything in Their. Wa j Banker Morgan's Death. THE CZAR AND CZARINA. Doth In an Extremely Nervous Condition The Latter Prostrated from Terror. London, April 9. Information obtained from private sources is to the effect that . the Czar still remains in a terribly nervous condition, while the Czarina is threatened with insanity. She is at present prostrated from a series of lits of vomiting and violent weeping, and she fears she may liud death either in her food, or while walking or driving. Wo account of her wretched con dition is allowed to find its way into the. papers at St. Petersburg. It is stated that te German Emperor has written , to the Czar strongly advising him to mako liberal concessions to the people. The Czar has abandoned the idea of visiting Denmark this year, and will go, instead, to his Schpola estates in Poland. A movement is on foot in literary circles to endeavor to obtain the release of Madame Tchebrikova, who is in a Russian . i . prison ior writing a tnreatenmg leiierto the Czar. With this end in view, the various literary clubs in London are preparing a joint memorial to the Czar praying that the lady be set at liberty, and an enort will be made to secure the co-operation of tho government in the matter, though the success of the latter movement is doubtful. -, General Kuronatkin has been appointed Governor of the transcaspian territory, in place of General Koinaroif, who has been recalled to St. Petersburg to assist the Minister of War. rune Moscow students have written a long letter to the London Daily Telegraph, protesting against the condemnation of their movements by that paper. The writers assert that the government prescribes examinations which present aifilculties impossible for the students to overcome, the object being to prevent them from securing degrees. They further de clare that with the same intention the students are allowed the greatest freedom, the police of the university towns conniving at gambling, dissipation and othor immoral practices, among them. Tho agitation, it is further stated, is further directed towards securing justice for the Jews, wbo are excluded from tho universities. The letter asks the Telegraph to vlead the cause .of the students when theyl are in Siberia, wnuner tney will probably bo sent. Terrible Plagpe or Field Mice. New York, April 9.

Cause of Banker Morgan's Death at Monte Carlo-Ills Great Wealth. London, April 9.It is probable that the remains of Junius S. Morgan, who died at Monte Curio, yesterday, will be brought to London for interment. A thoroughly re liable account of the accident which resulted in his death, states that Mr. Morgan was driving in a two-horse victoria from Monte Carlo to Ceaulieu. As tho vehicle was nearing Ezo a railway train passed, upon which Mr. Morgan observed a friend, Mr. Spencer Brunton. Mr. Brunton waved his hand, and Mr. Morgan stood up in his carriage and returned the salute. Before he could resume his seat the horses shied. and the near horse broke a trace. Mr. Morgan asked the coachman what had happened, but before the latter could reply tho carriage mounted a neap or stones, ana, Mr. Morgan, losing his balance, was thrown out. His estate is stated to bo valued at 830,000,000.

The fact that not even the Queen's recommendation of clemency was permitted by Mr. Matthews to alter his determination to hang young Richard, has deeply incensed thousands of tho Home Secretary's political adherents, and his obduracy will cost him his seat in tho Ministry if the expulsion can possjiDiy be Drougnt about. Must Not Tax the Poor Man's Beverages. London, April 9. Tho action of the brewers in urging Mr. Goschen. Chancellor of the Exchequer, to remit a portion of the existing duty on beer, is regarded generally as a hint which, if it is not heeded, will be followed by tho exerciso of pressure too great for even the obstinate Mr. Goschen to withstana. Airearty the Chancellor is reminded that Mr. Uladstone's second Min istry, very much more strongly intrenched than the present government, was overthrown because of its attempt to impose additional taxation upon beer,, and the same fate, it is predicted, will befall Lord Salisbury's Cabinet if it shall persist in its purpose to maintain the present duty on the poor man's beverages.

BakamitefT, a Kussian nobleman, and at present a principal oincial of the Kussian legation in Greece, on leave of ab sence, was one of the distinguished passen gers who journeyed through the city to ri a v. In company with General Beale. of Washington, whose daughter M. BakamitefT married, tho latter is journeying to the formers extensive stock-farm, situated in California. While the train waited in the Union Station General Beale was sleeping. but the distinguished foreigner was out viewing what he could of the city. lie talked of every subject touched npon "I was once an attache of the American legation," remarked the diplomate, "but during my residence in this country 1 did not travel West, and since we are visiting our fnends in this country, I concluded to see your wonderful Kocky mountains and the country beyond before we return to Greece. "Greece and its inhabitants in tho past few years have exhibited marked progress. Various modern enterprises are being intro duced, railroads are being built, and the principal products of tho country olives. grapes, wines and marble-nave sustamei a larcre increase in volume. The marble quarries are being worked extensively, and this product reaches all narts of Europe. Tho capital which is aiding in the develop ment of the country is largely foreign; IUUU1UUICU UV YfCilllUY UlCVIitUS, YY LIU have made fortunes in other countries, and tbeir friends. Greece, vou know, is a new country. Modern Greece, we may call it. is only sixty years old, that is. it is only sixty yearn since it received its release from Turkish dictatorship through the interven tion of other powers, and established its own government, it is a monarcuicai or ganization with the King as chief ruler, but tne people are represented in a con gressional organization. 'WurT War between Russia and Turkey! No, not this year. Matters international are quiet inst now. but there may bo dim culties before long that is. within five years. It seems some unpleasantness of this character occurs about every twenty years, and that period is drawing to an end." Wueu pressed for qualincations to this statement the speaker said he could not mention any occurrence which would havo a tendency to precipitate war. lie unhesitatingly predicted war, however. within the time mentioned. The name Siberia was mentioned in con nection with the proposed Siberian railroad, but the diplomate misunderstood the A.! I ' t 1! A. At question, ana in an impatient. lorceiui manner replied: "Siberia! Can't the American people let our country.' our poli tics alone! Wo do not meddle in American affairs of state or in American politics " "I was speaking of tho proposed railway," was interjected. "Oh. a thousand pardons. " Yes a great railway will be built through Siberian Kussia, probably something near four thousand miles long to the Pacific coast. Siberia is wonderfully rich in minerals. which, on account of the lack of transportation facilities, remain undeveloped. Would it not be a great stroke if your American capitalists were to build a rail road to Alaska, where only a few miles of water wouia uiviue ine two iinesi Stranger things have happened." M. Bakamitetl and General Beale will re main only a week in California, when they will return Last. The Baae-Ball II and. Kanaaa City Times. "Gunny." the crack Kansas City catcher, was in a talkative mood the other night. The suhject he took for his discourse was The Base-hall Hand.'7 'That's my only game finger." lie said, as he held up the third digit of his 'north paw' and pointed to a huge knot at the middle of the linger; "hnt 1 am luckv com pared with some fellows 1 know." lie fell into a retrospective mood as he continued: 'The worst hand I ever as.w belonged to a man whose name I can't recall. As we were sitting around a tableoneday he held up his hands with the remark: U broke those all in one game.' and there they were, ten lingers knocked completely out of shape, gnarled aud knottv, with not a single straight one in the lot." "What kind of a hand should a good plaverhavel" was asked. "Well, a ball man, to be a good ono, has to have a hand that is short, thick and stubby" and as the reporter glanced at the great catcher's hands he noticed that they .were "short, yiicu; and stubby."

KNIOIIT & JILLdON. 7&A77 8.Penuylvaoiast WATER PURIFIED BY METALLIC IRON. A. Simple Process Employed with. Success in European Cities. Philadelphia Kecord. A new and novel uroiect for the Tmrifiea. tiou of the city water snpply has just been brought beforo councils. The system involves the use of metallio iron as a purifying a cent, upon the system fol. lowed iu Antwerp, Paris, Ostend. Dord recht and other European cities. Tho proposition was recently the subject of an interesting lecture delivered at the Franklin Institute by Professor Anderson. In principle this method of liltration in quite simple. For a capacity of about 700.000 gallons of filtered water in twenty -four nours tne apparatus consists ot an iron cylinder holding about 1.CS9 Rallons, mount ed pon trunnions at each end in such a manner that it can be readily revolved by power. Within this cylinder i m , . is a aeriea oi curvea oneives arrange a along tho side of the cylinder and reaching from end to end. About 2.500 pounds of iron in the form of small borings and chips is placed within the cylinder, and. as the shell is filled witli water and s'owly revolved, the iron is caught by tho shelves and sifted down through the water from the upper side of the cylinder. A continuous stream of water tlows slowly through the revolving cylinder, discharging into a shallow trough, through which it is allowed to flow for a 6ufllcient distance to aerate it thoroughly. From this trough, the water flows npon a shallow filtering bed of sand, which retains tho insoluble chemical compounds that are formed by tho a. 1 . . aciioii ui iuo metallic iron nnon tiir im mm elements in the water. After pacing through tho sand-filter the purification is complete. Tho consumption of iron by this apparatus is exceedingly email, being about one-tifth of a. grain per gallon of water filtered, or twenty-sir ponnds per 1.000,000 gallons. The sand-filttr bed requires occasional cleaning, which Js done by drawing off the water and scraping off tho layer of the deposited iron salt on the top. The sand removed in this way is washed, and used agaiu and again. In order to effect this cleansing without interrupting the supply it is necessary to havo soveraltilter beds, so that while one is idle the others may be used. In the plaut of th5 Antwerp "Water-works Company there are six filtering beds of sand and live revolving cylinders, and during the past five years the works have treated 3,500.000 galIons of water daily, operating continuously day and night, In behalf of tho use of metallic iron as a mears of purifying water it is claimed that is will remove all color from the water. and will eliminate from 45 to IK) per cent, of tho organic matter and all free ammonia and nitrons acid. Tests of the waters of the Kiver Nethe, as filtered at Antwerp, showed that 100,000 microbe colonies contained in a cubic centimetre of water were reduced to an average of five colonies. A Barrel of Gum. Hartford Times. A Boston man has a Bennington (Vt.) friend who wrote him, a few days ago, that lie had forwarded a barrel of spruco gum fa his address as a gift. This geucrosity completely overpowered the Boston man. Ho knew he could never dispose of a barrel of SDitice gnm unaided in his whole lifetime; so he nastened to search out some dealer to whom, after a hard day's work, he hold about a quarter of the gift. The Dext morning tho postman brought the barrel of spruce gum, and it was about two inches tall. We'll Think About It. Philadelphia Inquirer.
