necessary and proper purpose of taxation; the other even greater, to protect employment in th? United States and to prevent harsh and unjust competition with foreign labor. This doctrine of the Republican party had been incorporated in the McKinley iAM. It was to an extent incorporated la this bill. -Mr. Sherman believed the bill would create a great reaction in the country; that distress must follow a reduction of duties and that a reduction of wages must come, if. indeed, industries were not driven entirely to the wall. Widespread discontent would result. The people of this country were not like those of other lands. The fact that some of our people were walking the streets and following an ignus fatuus did not necessarily argue a cr.tical condition of affairs, but where there was a well-rounded feeling of discontent in the mlnd3 of the American people they would rind their remedy. The blessing of a protective tariff were becoming apparent in the South, and the country was indebted to the Southern Senators for som ameliorations. He mentioned in this connection coal and Iron ore. Tae South had demanded the duty on sugar and on rice. These duties were not levied for revenue. Mr. Sherman, discussing the McKinley bill, said it had been p?rLstcntly misrepresented as a bill to increase revenue, when as a matter of fact It decreased revenue $30,0.Oijo a year. He always had believed that the sugar bounty was unwis?. and the McKinley bill gave too much protection to the Sugar Trust. He went on to point out the good features of the bill and to correct some of the erroneous impressions regarding it. Mr. Sherman charged that the sugar schedule had been drawn by the refiners. He contradicted the statement made by Senator Gorman that the protection offered the Sugar Trust had been reduced, and asserted that the statement was a palpable misrepresentation. He denounced the protection given the Sugar Trust, and declared that it was five-eighths of one cent, or equal to the entire cost of refining sugar. Including the wear and tear of machinery. He characterized free wool as the "culminating atrocity- of the bill." Before closing Mr. Sherman devoted some time to the discussion of the income tax. An Income tax, he said, was indefensible, unless it was levied against all Incomes alike. To single out a class was communism. If legislation In this spirit was to obtain the foundation of the Republic would disappear. Mr. Sherman finished at 4:45, after having spoken three hours. Mr. Dolph, speaking on the sugar schedule, took occasion to aihrm his belief that the Senate had power to compel witnesses to testify. He had no desire to "see newspaper correspondents persecuted or prosecuted, but he wanted the law enforced, whether it was against a newspaper correspondent, a millionaire or the President of the United States. Mr. Dolph continued the discussion of thia subject until 6 o'clock, when he yielded to Mr. Harris for a motion to go into executive session. After a brief executive cession the Senate adjourned. i TYNAN'S BOOK.

Publication on Irish Affairs That Englishmen Would Not Priut. NEW YORK, May 21. For some months rumors have been current In England and America that the Conservative party In England had obtained evidence which would prove a veritable bombshell in the ranks of the Irish and constitutional party, and would result In defeat of the. Liberals and the return to power of the Conservatives. The evidence, it is said, would prove beyond a doubt that all the charges of the London Times made in Its famous "Parneliism and Crime" article were true, and that the Irish constitutional party, through its leaders, had connived at the long series of outrages perpetrated by the "physical force" party in Ireland, of which the murders in Phoenix Park on May 6, 1SS2, of . Lord Frederick Cavendish and .Thomas Henry Uurke were the culmlna- . tion. These rumors took form and , shape last Friday, when the St. James Gazette announced the near publication of a book written by P. J. Tynan, the famous "No. 1" of the Invlncibles. The book will, .the Gazette stated, give a full history of the Phoenix Park murders and of the whole revolutionary movement in Ireland for the last thirty years. Tynan's book, which was finished six months ago, was offered in turn to most of the largest English publishing nouses. All of them declined to handle it. The fate of the London Times in being required to pay enormous damages for having printed similar statements was fresh in the publishers' minds, and none of them cared to run such risks. The Times itself did not care to publish the book. Finally the manuscript was brought back to New York, where It had been written, and where voluminous extracts from it will be published on Sunday next. ' Many months ago the leaders of the Irish National Federation of America learr.M of the forthcoming book, and ever since have been quietly accumulating evidence to be used in rebuttal of its statements. Dr. Thomas Addis Emmlt, president of the federation, determined to make public the genesis of the book, with the intention of nullifying Its effect. He said to-day: "Six months aso secret Information was conveyed to us by a man who stands high in the councils of the party to the effect that Tynan had been induced by an emissary of the Tories and the London Times to write a book which should support the allegations made by th Times before the Parnell commission in 1S&J. It will be remembered that the Times published a series of articles charging Parnell with complicity in k the Phoenix Park murders. As time went on these allegations were accepted as true, and Parnell and his followers were taunted with them in the House of Commons. At last a special commission, headed' by Lord Justice Hannen, was appointed to try the charges. ,The Conservatives. who were then in pow;r, promised the Times that if its charges could be proven, all expenses incurred would be borne by the Tory party. Every one knows the ending of the case. Richard Plgot, the Times's chief witness, broke down under cross-examination and fled to Spain, where he committed suicide. The case went to pieces and the Times was mulcted in heavy expenses. Altogether the trial cost the paper 216,000, or over a million dollars. In spite of this reverse the Times has always contended that its charges were true, and that only tie proof was lacking. Even at this late day, if it could not prove the charges, it might collect from the Conservatives the money it lest. Here was reason enough for the Times to strive to have Tynan's story told. Tynan himself is the exponent of the physical force party. He and his friends hate the constitutional party bitterly. As long as It lives and grows the dreams of those who wish for an independent Ireland will never be realized. Strike down home rule and the physical force party will , become strong again. Tynan was quite willing to Join with the Times and the Tories to crush home rule. Negotiations with publishers were opened a year ago. and about six months afterwards the writing of the book was completed." TOPICS OF PHYSICIANS. Subjects Discussed at the Third Day's Session of the National Congress. WASHINGTON', May 31. This was the third day's session of the Triennial Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons.

HER ANGEL SHIELDED

NARROW ESCAPE OF SOJIEnODY IX TUB SXYDER 311 It DC II TRIAL. Tito Rebels Arrested for Shooting for Jeff Dnvls Knlghtstorvn Uondi Sold to Harris fc Co. Special to the Indianapolis .Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., May 31. The defense concluded its testimony in the Snyder trial to-day. The witnesses in the morning all gave the defendant a good reputation. When asked the same question In regard to Mrs. Cloud they Bald it was bad. These witnesses were officers and neighbors. Evidence was Introduced showing how Mrs. Cloud would visit Snyder at the saloon and have him go home with her. Snyder's daughters testified as to hU arrest, and his overcoat was brought into evidence showing how the buttons had been wrenched loose. It was left at his daughter's when he started to the station house. John Oakes stated that he had seen two bruises on Snyder, one on his arm and one on his forehead, while confined in Jail. In the afternoon the defendant was on the stand over two hours. He had met Mrs. Cloud at a picnic at Blue River Park, he said. He had been visiting her for two years. As a rule, when he went to see her it was at her solicitation. She had often become needlessly Jealous of him, and had many times pointed a revolver at him, and he had as many times taken it away. He had never abused her. On the night of the shooting, when they started down town, he had taken his revolver out of his pocket and put it in a drawer. When they reached home, after two hours spent down town, during which time she had quarreled with him several times, she entered the house first, and when he entered she grabbed the revolver out of the drawer and pointed it at him, and said: "I will kill you." He struggled with her, and in the contest the revolver went off. She ran to the front room and he saw her on the floor. He picked up the revolver and put It in his pocket. He did not hear her say a word nor see her son. He then left the house and wandered around as has already been told. He did not shoot Mrs. Cloud, and had no reason for doing so. On cross-examination a letter was read over the objections of the defendant, which Snyder had written to Mrs. Cloud after some quarrel, and the burden of It was a plea for her forgiveness for his actions. Snyder was asked if he knew other men were calling on her, and he said hep did. He was asked if one certain man had paid her large sums of money. He said such was the fact. He was asked If he knew that this man had paid her 11.900, and he said he knew It, and knew that the house she was building was beingerected with this man's money. He had heard her threaten this man. All through the trial there seems to have been an effort to shield some1 prominent Indianapolis citizen and, the audience knowing this, was on tiptoe to hear the man's name. Presently the question came: "Who was this man?" asked th defendant's lawyer. Instantly Prosecutor Holtzman objected. The Judge said that the interests of society were not advanced by Snyder answering the question, and Snyder's lawyer retorted that Indianapolis society would certainly not be improved by his name being known. The answer was then forbidden by the court. Prosecutor Holtzman created a ripple of merriment after Snyder said that Mrs. Cloud solicited him to come to her house by asking: "Did you read the evidence in the Breckinridge trial?" The case will go to the Jury to-morrow evening, and it is the belief that the verdict will either be an acquittal or the lightest penalty on which the jury can reach a compromise verdict.

Pueblo was visited last night by th worst flood in its history. Several thousand people were rendered homeless and property was damaged to the amount, probably, of $300,000. Four breaks in the lsvee on the north side and three on the south side flooded the region between Eighth street and the river on the wtst in a zigzag course, thence to Fourth and Main, Second and Santa Fe, and everything south of and including First street. On the south side the flooded area extended from West Fourth-street brldg down through the Rio Grande yards to Union avenue. Practically everything west of Union avenue, from the river to C street, and all west of Victoria avenue was covered with water. Throughout the flooded district the water was from two to ten feet deep. The current was so strong In some streets that no person could stand up. Several adjte houses collapsed. The people sought refuge In the City Hall and armory. At midnight the water put out the fire under the boller3 In the electric-light plant and water works, and the city was in darkness. Only three lives are known to have been lost two workmen and Barney Raffarty. a laborer. At noon to-day the flood waters began to recede. Steam pumps will be necessary to drain the foundations of the buildings. Many partition walls in the larger buildings have been carried away. Many narrow escapes and thrilling experiences have been had. and one family of five people was carried one hundred yards in their house and narrowly escaped drowning.

The commonweal army of General Kelly, now In camp here, divided to-day, and five hundred of the men, under Col. George Speed, of California, will hereafter march or float by themselves. The cause Is the alleged arbitrariness of Kelly, not the least Incident in which Is his persistence, agi.st the wishes of the men.in allowing two women to remain with the army. The schism in the army was emphasized late thia afternoon by the appearance of Col. George Speed, head of the seceding part of the command, with J. D. Jones, the agent of the Chicago publishers, and several of the officers of the rebellious staff, before Judge Lubke. They charged Kelly with illegal retention of the entire commissary stores and equipments of the fleet, and they wanted authority to compel a division of the property and to compel Kelly to give an account of his receipts and disbursements of money contributions. Judge Lubke told Colonel Speed that he had a perfect right to surround the commissary boats and prevent their removal, and then to apply for a receiver. A division of property and funds will be sought through the courts to-morrow. The existing troubles do not seem to have arty effect upon the recruiting, some three hundred men having joined the army since its arrival here. Kelly has ordered his men to be ready to leave here at 5 o'clock to-morrow morning. Browne Appeals to Justice Field. WASHINGTON.

Story of a Duel, a, Fickle Maiden and u Library Hook. New York Mail and Express. There is an odd little story connected with the New York Society Library, which is fully as interesting as the personality of its patrons. Tne charter of the institution was granted, in 1772 by George III, and in those days it was a place of resort by the fashionabla people of the town. Some tim? after the war had ended, a young Englishman, who had been an officer in tne iirfcish army and attached to General Howe's staff, visited the library to while avay an idle hour. He became absorbed in his book and did not notice that he was beinir closely watched by a man who sat near him. When he arose to go he was followed to the door .and tapped on the shoulder. . "Pardon me," said the stranger, "but were you not a soldier in his Majesty's army some years ago. and were you not engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter with an American whom you left. for dead on the field of honor?" "I remember the circumstances perfectly." was the reply. "What do you know of It?" "I am the man with whom you fought, and I have to thank you for this," pointing to an empty sleeve. "One of us had to suffer," was the reply. "I am aware of that," answered, the other, "and I can forgive it, but I cannot forgive or forgst that you took from me something more precious than my arm. You robbed me of my alHanced wife." The story may be briefly told. The American was engaged to be married to a beautiful girl, tne daughter of one of New York's most prosperous merchants. She was good and true, and the day for the marriage had been set. One day her lover quarreled with the Englishman In a place of public resort. The men were strangers to each other. A challenge followed, and It was agreed to meet the next morning at daybreak on the Jersey shore and fight with rapiers. Tne American went home to arrange his affairs, and In the evening called on his Intended bride. His unusual seriousness aroused . her fears, and she begged to know the cause. The young man, after much entreaty, told what he was to do on the morrow. The young woman swooned, and when she recovered found that her lover, fearing that he might, be. dissuaded, had left her. She at once dispatched a worthy servant to visit the various public houses for there weren't tneny of them and learn, if possibk, the place of rendezvous. The quest was successful, and at 7 the next morning, after a sleepless night, the girl was at the meeting place, but too late to interfere. The duel had already taken place, and her lover lay wounded nigh unto death. He was taken home and nursed back to life and strength. Some months later the young woman met the Englishman at a social gathering. She did not know him, nor did he know her. The young man fell desperately in love. In lets than a month the maiden's heart had changed, and her affections were transferred. When she gave up her engagement ring and told the old lover the name of the new one, he shocked her by the statement that the Englishman was the man who had so nearly killed him. There was a great, revulsion of feeling. The girl became 111, brain fever ensued, LTld sh dltl This was what the American referred to when he met the Englishman in the old library building. In his excitement he had carried a book which he had picked up unwittingly with him, and, overcome by the remembrance of his wrongs, dashed it Into the face of his enemy. The assault was so sudden that the Englishman lost his balance and fell. His head struck the wall and he became unconscious. The constables came and took him away. When the attendants rushed out to see what was the matter they picked up the book. One of them looked at the title page and saw that It was called "The Fate of the Inconstant." and its author, whose name was not unknown, was the mother of the girt who had Jilted the American. The English officer was so seriously Injured by the fall that hl3 mind became Impaired, and he died some years after In a private retreat for the Insane. THE "WATER PAIL. It Continue to Do Splendid Service nt Fires. Casslers Magazine, WTith all the refinements that have been made In fire-extinguishing apparatus, the fact remains that the simple pall of water is, even at this day, one of the most efficient pieces of apparatus- of this class that has yet been in use. Insurance statistics, indeed, show that more fires are put out by water pails than by all other appliances put together, the only point that can well be raised against them being that, while they are generally provided abundantly enough in places where they are likely to be of service, the water is very apt to be wanting. It is true, also, in a measure, that, even if the pails were kept full, they are often borrowed for some purpose and not returned, so that when most needed they are unavailable. As a way out of this difficulty, it has been proposed to use pails with . round or conical bottoms, which will not staml on a floor, and are not, therefore, likely to be taken off for some use for which they were not intended, but this form seriously diminishes the value of the pail as a fire extinguisher, since a man with two of them in his hands, arriving at the scene of. action, cannot use either without setting the other on the floor and losing all its contents . As an Improvement on this, a superintendent in one of the large New England mills, who had found It difficult to keep the fire pails full and In good order, some time ago adopted the following interesting expedient, of which we find an account in some scrap-book data: The hooks carrying the pails were fitted up with pieces of spring steel strong enough to lift vhe pail when nearly empty, but not sufficiently so to lift a full pall. Just over each spring in such a position to be out of the way of the handle of the pall was set a metal point connected with a wire from an open-circuit battery. So long as the pails were full their weight, when hung on their hooks, .kept the springs down, but as soon as one was removed or lost a considerable portion of its contents by- evaporation, the spring on its hook would rise, coming in contact with the metal point, thus closing the battery circuit and ringing a bell la the manager's office, at the same tlm showing on an annunciator where the trouble was. As the bell continued to ring until the weight of the delinquent pail was restored It was impossible to disregard the summons, and no more reason was found to complain of the condition of the fire buckets. PICTIHE OF THE INVISIBLE. Great Ilesults from Modern Photoiprnphic Experiments. New York Herald. Dr. Schumann, in a recent communication to the Imperial Academy of Sciences at Vienna, details some marvelous experiments he has succeeded in making in the photographing of the ultra violet or invisible rays of the spectrum. Hitherto the chief difficulties have been in the impenetrability of the gelatine film of the dry plate and in the absorption by the air Itself while the rays are passing through. Herr Schumann now employs a vacuum spectrum and a plate composed of pure bromide of silver. The possibility of photographing the Invisible has rendered considerable service to modern science. It is by no means an uncommon thing for the camera to photograph things that the eye never ?ees. We all remember the case of the photographer who, on developing the negative he had taken of a lady, discovered, much to his astonishment, that the lady's face was covered with little red spots. Thinking that perhaps his plate was at fault he called next day at the 'lady's house to ask her to give him another titting, and found her laid up In bed with a severe attack of measles. Another curious case of the Invisible being photographed was when the Great Eastern was taken prior to her being broken up for ood. when the photograph was made the photographer was not a little surprised to find great big letters extending the whole length of the ship advertising some one's patent pills. It appears that these letters had at one period of the ill-fated vessel's downward career been Kalnted on as an advertisement. They had. owever, be?n subsequently painted out with tar, and, although Invisible to the naked eye, the camera had detected and recorded them.; A London photographer has invented and patented an Instrument that is termed a photo-corrector. It Is a well-known fact that the nearer an object Is to the lens the larger it appears in proportion. For this reason thm hands and feet, unless skillfully arranged, appear about double their normal size. The photo-corrector consists

It was generally considered th.it this was exhibited at the recent world's fair, and was almost six feet In length, but a Russian, Dr. Piassetsky, has not only eclipsed everything that has been done In this direction, but In all probability everything that Is likely to be accomplished for some time to come, lly combining a series of photographs of the Transcaiplan ' railway from the Caspian to Samarcand he has produced one photograph 164 yards In length. JERUSALEM'S XEW PROSPERITY. The City Una Crown nnd la AnumlDff Xew Commercial Importance. London Times. The Biitlsh consul at . Jerusalem In his latest report gives some Interesting detalU respecting the present condition of the holy city.' It appears that buildings of various kinds continue to be erected In tha vicinity, and that the city Is fur outgrowing Its former limits. On the western sida houses have increased so rapidly within tne last few years that quite a large suburb has arisen where formerly there were fit-Ids and vineyards. Every available piece of land 13 now being bought up by private persons or by benevolent societies and ml&sions, and already th name o! "modern Jerusalem" has b?en given to this new quarter. Last year tha first public garden was completed outsi'.e of Jaffa gate, and the trade is generally Increasing, especially that In Jaffa oranges, olive woodwork (now an important local Industry) and olive oil. The expert of colocynth declined In consequence of a tltha levied on It by the authorities. It Is gathered by Arabs In the neighborhood of Gaza, where it grows wild. An interesting enterprise which ha3 recently been commenced Is the collection of the bitumen which rises to the surface nnl floats about on the Dead sea. Two sailing boats were taken by train from Jaffa t j Jerusalem and then conveyed on carts to the Jordan, where they were floated down the river to the Dead sea, and they are now engaged In picking up the bitumen, which is in much request in Europe. The consul thinks it would be advantageous to trade with the inland districts if a steam launch and several liqhters were placed on the Dead sea to ferry across tho produce of Moab. -which Is a country rich in cereals, fruit and cattle. At present It is conveyed by caravans round the north or south en-1 of the Dead sea. entailing a Journey of from four to live days. Kerak. the chief town of Moab, is now Karrlsonet with Ottomin trocps and authority is established there, so that if raid communication were established the whole produca of Moab would find its way to Jerusalem and the coast.
