inake the receipts meet the expenditures, They will give credit to the great statesman whom they had treated unjustly." "Why not pass some bill now to increase the revenues?" asked Mr. Aldrich. "We have no power to do eo. There are pome measures on the calendar (alluding to the bills to place iron and coal on the free list and to abolish the differential on refined sugar), but they decrease the revenue." replied Mr. Gorman. "We could alter their character?" saiA tMr. Aldrich. "Will you aid u to take, them up?" Inquired Mr. Vest. "If you will change their character, yes," replied Mr. Aldrich. "Certainly," observed Mr. Vest, with a emlle. "If we will substitute the McKlnley act." In concluding, Mr. Gorman said: "It would be good policy and good politics for the Republicans to Join us; sink party differences, meet the emergency and not let this case be made a football of any longer." MR. ALLISON'S SPEECH." Mr. Hill and Mr. Allison were Instantly on their feet asking recognition. The latter was recognized. Mr. Allison complimented the Maryland Senator for clearly and for the first time making It clear from the Democratic standpoint that the country was now face to face with a great deficit. The Benator had not mentioned the currency question. He had gone to the really great emergency, the government's grave emergency In lacking revenue now and threatened with still greater lack of revenue. Yet with the situation before us In two months Congress separates, not to convene again for nearly a year from the present time. But there.13 a remedy at hand. There are bills here sent from the Houseto further reduce the revenues from coal and iron. The duty of the hour was to take these bills and. Instead of passing them, to further reduce revenues, to so frame them as to yield fifty millions additional to our revenues." . Mr. Allison expressed amazement that the President knd Secretary of the Treasury should remain passive with no suggesticvi to Congress as the imperative necessity of Increasing the revenues of the government. With a tremendous Democratic majority in Congress It was a plain duty that they should be .reminded in unmistakable language from the executive branch of the government that the revenues must' be increased at once to a point sufficient to sustain the credit of the government. Thls waa the present pressing duty, instead of vain conferences over a currency bill, or the reform' of greenbacks, or the many financial plans under discussion. He said that ' the rtatisties he presented showed that the McKlnley law would have yielded ample revenue. But from the outset the normal action of that law was interrupted by the threat of revising and nullifying it. Mr. Allison closed with a vigorous appeal to those in authority the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the administration and Congress to meet the emergency here and now instead of waiting for a full year. . Hill's Reply to Gorman. ; Mr. Hill said: "If the Senator from Maryland desires to vindicate himself I see no reason why he should not have the opportunity. But In urging this vindication the Senator from Maryland should not seek to Impeach; thosa who supported the Wilson bill. -That Senator (Mr. Gorman) was among, those who '. voted for that bill. He (Hill) was not among those who voted for it. It waa a peculiar situation to find Senators who had voted against a bill criticised for Its existence by those who voted for it. As to the Income tax, he understood the Senator from Maryland to be opposed to it, but after a time, presto change, the Senator was found to favor that tax for a period of five years. Mr. Hill defined his position, which was to repeal the tax. If it was to stand he would offer no opposition to the appropriation for carrying it Into effect. "If the Commissioner of Internal Revenue ehould be enjoined from collecting the tax by one party In the District of Columbia, pending the determination of its constitutionality," asked Mr. Vilas, "would not that prevent the collection of the tax anywhere until the case-was decided?" "It would not," replied Mr. Hill, who proceeded to argue that the injunction would only lie for the benefit of the person bringing the action. "Why cannot a class get the benefit of a suit brought in the interest of a class? iWhat denial can there be on the trround of

residence?" asked Mr. Vilas. "The parties must be similarly situated," replied Mr. Hill. "Do you contend that A B,,In the District of Columbia could not bring a suit on behalf of himself and all others in the district?" asked Mr. Piatt. "I do not," responded Mr. Hill. "That could be done, but it is the most that could be done. No suit against the commissioner could be brought save in the district." Returning to the tariff law, Mr. Hill said that he had no retractions to offer for the criticisms he had made against that law. He objected to the differential duty on sugar. Did the gentleman from Maryland think of revenue when he voted for that yrovision a provision that hurt the Democratic party more than any other one factor. One would think from listening to the Senator from Maryland that he had stood here and combatted a Democratic mob. "That Senator," he went on. "stands her to-day opposed to any change in the rules, lie appeals piteously to the Republican side of the chamber for help." Mr. Hill did not Join in any such appeal. He appealed to his party associates. There was a ripple pf applause at this point which was checked by the presiding olflcer. , NUTS FOR GORMAN TO CRACK. Why had . the Senator from Maryland been moved from the stolid attitudef indifference he -had assumed to-day? asked Mr. Hill. Had he Just heard the voices of the State conventions all over the country last fall? Did he not know that in their platforms the Democrats had stood by the gallant few in this chamber and In the House who had stood for redeeming the Chicago platform pledges? Why did he attack him (Hill)? In attacking him did he not attack a Democratic President and the Democratic House of Representatives? In 1893 the Senators of his own State had declared for free raw materials. The Senator from Maryland had alluded to the section from which he came as unfavorable to compromise. "Very well. I am not so certain," Mr. Hill added, "that the atmosphere of northern New York is not as Kood as that in a nearby State which breathes compromise on all public questions, (laughter.) Some things can be compromised, but I cannot understand why the Senator deems it necessary at this late day to attack me in order to vindicate his position on the tariff act. "The Senator from Maryland spoke as if he and the Secretary of the Treasury had etood up here as against a mob. He desired the Senate to know that he stood -where nine-tenths of his party stood and 3ie had no apology to make either to the Senator from Maryland or to any other man. And the Senator from Maryland now enunciated the grave and startling, fact that there was a deficiency of revenues, us though this had not been known for months. Had not the Senator voted for the tariff bill? Had he not spoken In its favor and had he not declared in that speech that the law named would yield ample revenues? And yet the Senator now came before the country as the advocate of a tariff which was right against the one he conceives to be wrong. He would have it understood that he was hand and- glove with the Secretary of the Treasury." : Mr. Hill said he could not venture on forbidden ground caucus action at a time when he waa absent from the Senate. Mr. Pugh rose to state that legislation for the relief of the treasury was one of the subjects agreed on by the caucus referred to as proper to cufue up at this Bession. "What has become of this legislation? Is it up in the air?" asked Mr. Hill, amid laughter. Mr. Pugh answered that the finance committee was undoubtedly pondering on the eubiect. ' pondering is goou." said Mr. Hill, derlsivelv. Mr. Pugh asked what remedy Mr. Hill would suggest for the present emergency. "Pass a rule making it possible for the Senate to execute Its purposes.'! said Mr. Hill. "With the present rules it is impossible to proceed on any course of action." Mr. Hill recurred to the assertion of Mr. Gorman that' he had always been opposed to the issue of bonds, and recalled Mr. Gorman's position in 1)3 when he favored a bond Issue. The Senator had also said that he did not consider the verdict of the last fall condemnation of his tariff bill. Did he mean that it went over, above and beyond that bill to the bill that was not passed? (Laughter.) He fHlll did not intend to offer a scheme of remedial legislation. To do w would be Idle until the rules were changed. The Senator from Maryland attempted to set his judgment up a superior to that of some of . his associate, past events, he begged to assure him, had shown that he waa no wiser than others. With bitter irony. Mr. Hill quoted the concluding words of Mr, Gorman's speech ' the occasion of the passage of the tariff 'a that Senator enjoined "patience, - and virtue." on the Democratic - the rUlny nun of a-bright fsd rrr victory.

and success at the November elections. "At that time." continued Mr. Hill, "he predicted victory; now he says he alone anticipated defeat. I voted against the bill, hoping that after It passed the Senate it would be modified in conference, but when circumstances forced the House to accept It, it .went to the President. It might have been better if he had returned it for correction, but when he. In his wisdom, allowed it to become law, it became a party measure, and from that time I ceased criticism of it and, as a Democrat, tried to make my people believe that it was a fair and a just measure. As a party man I tried to strengthen it before the people. After the election I accepted the verdict, and would never have alluded to a personal vindication, hoped for or anticipated, had it not been for the remarkable remarks of the Senator from Maryland." GORMAN'S REJOINDER, , Mr. Gorman was . again on his feet as soon as Mr. Hill closed. He spoke very quietly, at first, but with "evident feeling. He disclaimed a desire to have a personal controversy with the Senator "from New York. He was not in the habit of making explanations. He was guided always by the one rule of bringing his best judgment to bear on a proposition and then abidng by that Judgment. There was another rule, he said, which he was in the . habit of following and that was to confer, to consult with his associates and then abide by the Judgment of his party. As to the tariff law as a whole, Mr. Gorman said that if the Democracy from its head to its most humble member had given the measure generous support the result of last November would have been different. He did not then appreciate that the Senator from New York would be found voting with the Republicans against that bill. No dominant party could have succeeded in the midst of the, terrible depression that existed last summer. He did not want to be disagreeable to the Senator from New .York. He had not commented on his course, but his position - as now defined by himself was a. legitimate subject of comment. And if his idea was carried put it would further decrease the revenues $40.fJO0,0O0. His proposition was unfair. It would be disastrous to the treasury. "Now I say to the Senator from iNew York," said he, "bring forth your measure of relief and if it is a proper measure, one that commands a majority in this- chamber, we will pass it.' He disclaimed any intention of associating Mr. Hill with Mr. Quay for the purpose of being disagreeable, but he insisted that Mr. Hill was making his fight at the wrong time. With a final protest against his course and an appeal to both sides of the chamber for patriotic action, Mr. Gorman concluded and Mr. Call, of Florida, took the floor. Mr. Call urged the necessity of an income tax. The Senate then held a brief executive session and at 5:15 p. m. adjourned. After the routine business had been disposed of Mr. Stewart resumed his speech begun on Saturday. He spoke of the extent to which the barks controlled Congress, political conventions, telegraph companies and the press. The banks always maintained a lobby In Congress. They domin- -ated national conventions Republican, .Democratic and Populist and secured the nomination of their friends. They secured ambiguous platforms so that - the people were never able to vote directly on the silver issue. They had been bankrupt in the treasury, in the Congress bankrupt in every administration of twenty years. Mr. Stewart closed at 1 o'clock. Mr. . Gorman, of Maryland, than arose for the speech which had been anticipated for some days. At the outset Mr. Gorman gave his attention to the proposition to cripple the income tax by cutting off its appropriation. He declared himself opposed to that line of attf"k. He then prr-p(iod to taVe up the tar ff leg'sl? tion as bear ng on exlst'ng cord -tions. The tariff bill which first came to the Senate from the House brought forth an era of demagogy such as the country had seldom before seen. It overlooked the greatest essential of legislation to raise sufficient revenue to carry on the government. The Senator said that he for one would never have voted for the tariff bill if he had not believed it had been shaped so as to raise ampler revenue for the expenses of the government. The Senate had added $60,000,000 to the revenue under that law. And yet It was now demonstrated that the revenues under the law were insufficient to carry on the ordinary expenses of the government. VEST REFERRED TO CARLISLE. "According to your estimate," Interrupted Mr. Vest, "do you claim that the revenue for the present year will not meet the expenditures?" "I do." "Do you Include in- your estimate?" continued Mr. Vest, "the 40 per cent, tax on sugar and the, increase in the whisky tax which will not be available for this year, . 1 desire to call the Senator's attention to the fact that the revenues of the government have been steadily increasing for three months tend that it is reasonable to presume that by April 1 the revenues will meet the expenditures." "I will allow another to answer that question," replied Mr. Gorman. "I will allow the foremost man of finance in the Democratic party to answer the Secretary of the Treasury who.amid all this turmoil had stood for 'a tax sufficient to meet the demands on the treasury. He stood there while slander was rampant and the vipers of the press were spitting at him, and he stands there now. The Wilson bill or the Gorman bill, or the Brice bill, or the Smith bill, or by whatever name you desire to call it, ' was a compromise bill. The Senator from New York (Mr. Hill) was not a party to it. There is something about Democrats from the section whence he comes that prevents them from ever compromising (laughter). The Senator fought the bill manfully," said Mr. Gorman, continuing, "I admire manliness. But in addition to bpposing the income tax, which as I have Shown is necessary to the treasury, : the Senator from New York, joined with all the extreme tariff reformers to cut down duties on imports. I will never follow a leader," said he emphatically, "who will In the time of peace, increase the national debt to pay the current expenses of the sovernment. "Before the election of 1892," said Mr. Gorman, "It had alreadv been demonstrated that the McKlnley law did not yield sufficient revenue to meet the demands of the government. The estimates on which that law had been made were erroneous Just as estimates on which this last tariff law was framed were erroneous. It hid been clearly pointed out prior to the election of 1892 that the McKinley law reduced revenues to the point of threatening the treasury with bankruptcy." M A H IN W D I S ST KRS.

ONE OF THE ROBBERS

MAN AT TERRE HAITE SISPECTED OF? THE BELLEVILLE CRIME. - Sheriff Bell, of Hendricks County, Summoned Last NIht to Sec the PrisonerState News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., Jan. 14. Sheriff Bell tonight received a telegram from the chief of police in Terre Haute that he held a man whom he believed to be one of the Belleville murderers. Mr. Bell left on the midnight train for Terre Haute, and there is considerable excitement here to-night. There has been a well-defined suspicion at Belleville, where last week's tragedy occurred, that Rev. Henshaw and his wife were attacked by some one who knew of the little money kept by the minister. Certain suspected persons are said to have cleared out, and It is possible that one of these is the man now locked up at Terre Haute. Sheriff Bell would not be able to Identify the man unless he has information as to who committed the robbery and murder, and the fact that he has been sent for gives rise to the belief that the officers have a clew to the robbers. Rev. Henshaw's condition is said tw be improving, and it Is probable he will recover. Without his. evidence It would be practically impossible ever to positively identify his assailants.

Eruptions of n Volcano on Amorln Island Stevenson's Ailment. VICTORIA, BV C. Jan. 14. The British gunboat Kaurakat and survey boat Dart arrived at Sydney from the New Hebrides Islands just before the MIowara sailed. She brings the report that eruptions at Amorln Island continue intermittingly and that the island is virtually deserted by all the inhabitants. A new volcano broke out early in December on a mountain two thousand feet high with a crater 600 feet deep. Lava from it flowed , in an immense stream to the sea, fifteen railes distant, devastating villages and farms in its course and where the molten lava rushed into the sea a great column of steam ascended. The height of the latter as shown by the sextant on the Dart, was 4,000 feet. The deck of the Dart, i when several miles at sea, was covered with ashes. Crops have been neglected and it is feared many natives will starve. The losses are immense. Sometime prior to hi3 death Robert Louis Stevenson had several severe hemorrhages, but seemed to have rallied from their effects. It is blieved in Samoa that the brain attack would not have killed him if his lungs had not failed. Stevenson was known to the Samoans, bv whom he Was deeply beloved, -as Tuta?,' signifying story teller.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Hansbrough, wife of Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, died at 1:20 p. m. to-day, at the Cochran Hotel, of acute pneumonia. . Mrs. Hansbrough was about forty-four years of age, and was the daughter of James Orr, of Newburg, N. Y., where !ier father still resides. Senator Hansbrough first met her in California, where she was visiting whe-i he resided In that State, and they were married in Chicago about fifteen years ago. She leaves no children. Mrs. Hansbrough was, not a society woman in the popular term, but she made many friends wherever she lived, and the wives of few public men have endeared themselves more to those with whom they came in contact than she did. She was popular alike at home and at- Washington. Mrs. Hansbrough was noted especially for her attachment to her husband and her home. He has recently built a splendid residence in North Dakota, in which his wife had taken a deep interest. She made herself more than ordinarily efficient in the Senator's affairs, and while she at first opposed his going into, politics, when he did enter the field she gave almost as much attention to the details of his political affairs as did the Senator -himself, often giving personal attention to his mail, and in many ways aiding him not only in the performance of his duties, but in maintaining and increasing his hold on the good will of his constituents.; The interment will take place at Wappinger's Fails, N. Y., probably on Wednesday. Other Deaths. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan. 14. Allen D. Richards, Republican Representative from Carroll county, is dead.

Governor Lewelling and Governor Morrill led the parade in a carriage, and were driven to the .House of Representatives at noon, where the oath of office was administered and the inaugural address delivered. Governor Morrill, In his message, reviewed the part taken by Kansas in the civil war, and continued: "Since that date the State has had a strange, almost weird history and experience. - Prosperity and adversity have followed each other in quick succession." The Governor places Kansas in the forefront in the educational sphere, and quotes from statistics to show that the State debt is practically wiped out. He protests against the efforts made to damage the State credit, and continues as follows: "If we ars faithful to ourselves and live up to our opportunities, the average life of existing farm mortgages will find abundant money seeking investment in their renewal. But to accomplish this we must cease talking about repudiation and we must show an honest purpose to pay our obligations by striking from our statute books every law that has been enacted to delay and hinder the collection of just debts."

General interest still centers In the debate on the construction of the clause in the State's Constitution concerning opening and canvassing the returns for Governor now in progress in the House.

Much freedom was permitted arj no effort was made to come to a vote until late in the afternoon, when a call for the previous question- was defeated.

Nearly every member of the House judiciary committee attended the" special meeting to "consider the charges against Judge Ricks, of Cleveland. Representative Bailey, of Texas, the chairman of the subcommittee which held the investigation at Cleveland, submitted his views. His judgment was against Judge Ricks, and to the effect Judge Ricks had been guilty of grave misconduct, if not malfeasance and dishonesty, in' receiving fees after he had been elevated to the bench which he claims to have earned before as clerk of the court. Ex-Congressman Hemphill, of South Carolina, appeared as coun&el to press the charges against Judge Ricks, , preferred by Saumel T. Ritchie, of Akron, O., but was not given a hearing.

MAY REACH $8,000,000 LOSSES OF BRITISHERS THROUGH FR A I'D 1' LENT AMERICAN BOXDS. Developments in Pierce's Transactions Show Him to Have Been the Greatest Swindler of the Age. YANKTON, S. D.4 Jan. 14. Information received here from London regarding J. T. M. Pierce's swindling transactions show that the aggregate of the British losses may reach the stupenaous sum of $8,000,000. A letter from a London firm of solicitors says that not a quarter of the fraudulent transactions have yet come to light. It Us stated that receipts by Pierce at his London office Were limited only by his ability to Issue bonds, mortgages and other papers, often exceeding $100,000 a week. And it is alleged in London that he received no less than $500,000 during his last week there. It is owing to his gigantic transactions that his victims expect to receive an offer of compromise- after the matter shall have cooled down. To make these losses known would impair the credit of the losers and also make tnem an object of ridicule; therefore, they prefer to bear their losses in. silence. One million four hundred and. four thousand dollars of forged bonds, mortgages and tax deeds are now in possession of the agents of the creditors of Pierce But the estate will not sell for enough to pay the attor neys' fees. The claims, which are accomfanied By the spurious security, are as tolows: American Mortgage Trust Company, London, $250,(J00r Bedford (England) Investors, $200,000; Belfast, $11)0,000; Glasgow, Scotland, and Huddersfield, England, $100,000; J. S. Fagan,. Brooklyn, $75,000; W. S. Johnson, London, $50,000; real estate frauds in Yankton, $70,000. Total. $1,404,000. English Bankrupt Absconds. LONDON, Jan. 14. The case of J. T. M, Plerco & Co., the firm charged with having been engaged in floating large quantities of bogus certificates in this country and in Ireland, was before the Bankruptcy Court to-day. Debts amounting to $115,789 were cited, chiefly in respect to worthless American school bonds. The official receiver announced the bankrupt had absconded, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. AMERICAN'S TRIALS IN LONDON. Made Miserable by Too Much Tower, Westminster and Other Sights. t New York Sun. "My, but it does feel good to get back to America again," said a little American woman who lived in London the last two years. "If you want to be made a slave of, go to London to live and endeavor to entertain your friends who come over for brief stays. I'll guarantee that in less than three months you'll wish you'd never seen the big English city; and yet, despite this, one has to admit tnat it's just the lovliest and most interesting old place in the world that is, of course, always excluding New York. "Now, I'll tell you why the poor unfortunate American women who takes up a residence in London both hates and loves the city at the same time. If she could do as she likes she would never have cause for complaint, but she can't. That is a positive fact. She cannot do as she likes just so long as she, receives and tries to entertain her friends from America. She is made a. perfect slave, and no one will ever know how I have had to smile, look pleasant, and be a mine of information when I was so blue and bored that I would have liked to burst out into tears. And yet what can a poor woman do? Born and brought up In America, she makes hundreds of friends, and when business makes it necessary that her husband should take up his residence in London and she goes with him, she has got to receive and go around with any of her old friends who may come over on visits. London is strange to them, 'but of course she is supposed to know all about it. And so they come one after another all through thy summer and winter, each one armed witn a list of the historical places she wants to see and always expecting me to go around with them to point out the more interesting sights. It seems to me as though I had been through Westminster Abbey a million times, and I don't think there's an inscription on a tomb there that I don't know by heart. Poets' Corner is easy for me, and I can tell the location of every tomb there. The chapels are what we Americans would call a cinch. I know them a!4 The burying places of all the famous beings I can point out with my eyes blindfolded, and any little Interesting facts connected with certain tombs I have at my tongue's end. The warders who show strangers through the chapels at sixpence a head are not in my class at all. 1 am so sick and tired of going through that place that I almost wish I were a man and could swear every time a friend who is visiting in London says to me, 'And now, dear, will you go to the Abbey to-day, and you'll show me everything, won't you?' and I screw my face into a smile and say, 'Of course, dear,' when all the while I feel as though I'd rather get hit with a club than go around the place aind then they all want to' go to the Tower next. 'Dear me.' they'll say when I tryo get out of it by telling thea what an uninteresting place the Tower is. 'Go away without seeing where the Princes were smothered? Oh, I'd never forgive myself if I did. And then-up comes my stock smile, and I tell them how delighted Id be to take them through the Tower and explain that I only meant to save them from an uninteresting trip when I suggested omitting this visit. And then when they've seen it how suspectingly they look at me, for really the Tower i3 the most interesting place of all. But to poor me it is a dreadful bore. I feel faint when I th nk of the times I've walked through those old galleries and tried to say interesting things about the old weapons, the armor, and the other relics of bygone days that line the walls. And the blood stains beside the beheading block; I've told the Etory of those stains so often that six months ago I compiled a little history of my own, and now I tell that instead of the true story. It's a diversion, and when a poor woman is on her live hundredth, trip to the Tower, with a companion who has never been there before, and who is .simply bubbling over with enthusiasm, what does she care how much she lies if she can get a little amusement out of it? I don't, and I'm a church member, too. And then there is St. Paul's, the National Gallery, and a dozen or eo museums and other galleries. Visitors think they must Pfce all of these stock sights, and every friend I've got that comes to London drags me around with her. What a lovely time I could have In dear London if my friends would only let me alone; but they won't, and that's why I'm indulging in this iittleklck." THE HUNTER'S RETURN. The Game Followed Him Packed In a Barrel. New York Mail and Express. There is one newspaper publisher in this town who is famed as a modern Nimrod. lie has hunted the CiUslve canvasback and he has peppered flocks and flocks of sn.pe and teal and brant. What he doesn't know about the whirring of a covey of quail or the swish of a stag breaking through the brush wouldn't be worth writing about. To him the haunts of the wild turkey and the inaccessible nesta of the tlilyloo bird are as familiar as his own lintel and hearthstone. Four-footed game is his especial delight, and the stories, of his own prowess are the delight of his friends and the wonder of his new acquaintances. A few weeks ago this gentleman announced that he was about to give his throbbing brain a rest and his hands and eyes a little exercise by a trip to the Ottawa Valley in Canada, about one hundred and fifty miles north of the city of that name, for the purpose of killing cer. Fitted out in a hunting suit and armed with a stub twist, double-barreled choke-bore gun. he started for the Dominion, On Thursday last he returned, and brought with him a thrilling story of adventure, but no game. That was to come later. He told of cold days in the forest and of stalking and shooting: of encounters at close auarters, of wild chases after the caribou, of sudden retreats and rarrow escapes. "Boys." said he to members of the editorial staff, who were listening- with bated and other kinds of breath, "I have enougiv venison coming down in a day or two to keep the whole office supplied In meat Tor a week.

It Is all good meat. Hope it will prove satisfactory." A wicked young man in the publication office made a suggestion. It was aiioptei without a dissenting voice. A Hour -barrel was procured and it 'was packed with bundles of closely compressed "returns" (returned newspapers witnin six lio-ics .f the top. This 6pace was filled with ice.

'Must come i'i, sir," said the Ganymede. ' Jt"3 from Canada. See the tag?" The publisher was furious. "Haven't you lunatics any better sense than to pat that barrel of venison in such a place as that? Is there 16 cents' worth of common, ordinary horse sense in this wholo establishment? Where is the double-plated idiot who did this? Get me an ax, quick"' Everybody was on the jump. Thy brought hatchets and chisals and a mal.et from the composing room.

How Batsmen Were Fooled and How Dasher" Troy Made Money. New York Sun. "Dasher" Troy, the old Metropolitan second baseman, tells a good story about Amos Rusie, in which there is more truth than fiction. To a Sun reporter the "Dasher" said the other day: "Very few people knew just what mala the big pitcher so effective last season, but I can explain it. When Amos came here from the Indianapolis team, he had such wonderful curves and speed that he tried to strike out every batsman that faced him. His inshoot was such a dangerous thing to fool with that I soon noticed that nearly all the batters were afraid of it. and invariably stepped back. Amos seldom usd a straight ball, and never resorted to what is known among pitchers as 'change of pace. "Tim Keefe, I believe, was the first on to tell Amos how to pitch a slow ball with a fast delivery, and the big fellow began trying it rather successfully in 189:'.. Ot course, he pitched the best ball in tha League that year, and, in fact, has done fo ever since; but he had a wrinkle during last season that was of my own invention. "As I said before, I had noticed that every League batsman, barring one or two Jike-Delehanty, Brouthers, and a few more, stepped back from the plate ,whenever Amos pitched fast ball. So I went to the big. fellow one day and said: " 'Amos, when you see a batter's left foot (providing he is a right-handed hitter) move back a trifle, Just drive that fast straight ball or your outshoot over the outsida corner of the plate, and you'll find how easy it is to fool these ducks. Just try it and see if I ain't right.' "Well, Amos did just as I told him th next game he pitched, and he was laughing in his sleeve. The minute he saw a batter's left foot move back he grinned all ofr. Then he let 'er go. The ball whistled like a small cyclone up to and over the outside corner of the plate, and the batter mai such a wild stab at it that the crow I roared. But nobody knew what the wrinkle was. -.. "By and' by, when I saw that Amos had mastered the trick to perfection, I thought it was time to gamble a little on it. So I just took a seat back of the home plate among a lot of know-alls and watched tha batter's feet closely. Whenever I saw the left foot move back I just took out my coin and yelled: ' "Three to one this duck doesn't make a hit! " "There were lots of fellows around me who would take up the short end, and as a result I had a good thing on hand right along. But the cinch came when the Boptons came over here on Aug. .11 to play off a tie game with the New Yorks. There were nearly 20.0iX) people on the Polo grounds, and Amos was slated to pitch. He was as fit as a fiddle, and Just before th? battle began I leaned over the grand stand and whispered to him: " 'Amos, old boy, don't forget the left foot racket. "He said, 'All right.' and then he began his work. Every one of the Bostons stepnpl back from the plate even Duffy. McCarthy and Tucker. Amos Just grinned, and sent that ball over the corner until the champions were blinded. I laid three to one against each Boston batter, and during the entire game the champs made but five scattered singles." OLD EDINBURGH. The Revolutionary Modern Spirit Threatens the Historic Relics. London News. "The Town Council have in contemplation schemes involving the removal of almost every vestige of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries" In Dart of Edinburgh, and. If Bailie Macpherson has his will, they Intend to substitute "terraces of model working clss houses." So Mr. Reid says in his "New Lights on Old Edinburgh." The sanitary reformer may rejoice, but the antiquary despairs. Old Edinburgh has f till many picturesque and disgusting quarters. The sights partially atone for the smells, and old coats of armor.. old turrets, old names cannot be abandoned without a sigh. However, it is the affair of the Edinburgh people, "who have a right to decide whether they will preserve' a relic or destroy a rookery- Mr. Reid has taken pains with his book, and the huge mass of manuscript material lately put in some order must, no doubt, contain things of interest amid the refuse heap. But the best of Mr. Reid's anecdotes are not very novel- We have heard a good deal about Miss Nicky Murray, the assembly rooms. Lord Braxfleld, Lady Eglintoun and the rest of them before to-dayi'.

The tourist in Edinburgh perhaps confines himself to Holyrood, the castle and Princes street. The foolish young fellow who deceived the Intelligent American had an easy victim. Being asked "Which was Mono Meg?" at the castle he pointed out Arthur's seat. "There it Is. The nam Is derived from Mons. a mountain, and megas, big."
