The report received cf a battle between the Daltons and deputy marshals near Ingalls. fifty-flve miles from thi3 city, is confirmed today. The fi-rht occurred at the house of Uruoe Miller, one of the outlaws. The cfflcers surrounded the house, all armed with 'WineherterF, just before daylight. The Dalton bandits were inside. No phots were, fired until one of the desperadoes cams out just about daylight to feed the r-orses. He was held up and told to take a look around the grounds, and then return to the house, tell the bandits to eonie out one at a. time, unarmed and surrender or hostilities would be commenced. After looking over the field and finding in Fhooting1 distance of the house twenty men well armed the outlaw returned to his companions. Fully a ha-lf hour's consultation was bad by the bandits before a stir was mada by either party and then the officer in command of the party ordered his men to begin firing-. The house is a simple weatherboard structure and not plastered, and the fhots from the marshal's Winchesters ciuickly perforated the sides of the building. The bandits returned the fire and poured a rattling volley on the officers through the windows and crevices of thehouse. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Miller, who had been wounded, left the house and crawled to where one of the marshals was located behind a tree. She had received a flesh wound and begged that she might te permitted to ride to Ingalls for a doctor to attend herself and also her baby and hired man, who were both wounded. The woman was permitted to saddle a horse and leave. She would not state how many outlaws were killed, but admitted that Bill Dalton and Bill Doolan had been seriously wounded. The fight was kept up all day during "Wednesday. Volley after volley was fired into the house by th officers and the constant crack of the bandits Winchesters told of their determination to bold out and refuse to surrender. Shortly after nightfall, during a lull in the tiring, the bandits made a break from the house and fled, pursued by the deputies. They went in the direction of the Creek Indian country. The messengers who brought this news did not learn whether or not Dalton and Doolan had bsen killed, but was told that three fatally wounded bandits were left in Miller's house after their companions had broken through the line of officers. He states that two of tlie efficers posse were killed and three wounded. Pome of the bravest men in this territory are with the pursuing party. Bill Tilghman, Hack Thomas and Will Madäden are there. None of these men were ever known to flinch. On the night they left this city they said: "We will not return alive without our game with vs." The messenger who brings in the above Information says that Mrs. Bruce Miller Is not dangerously wounded. The United States marshals started out another posse from this city today to assist in the chase. mil nation Killed. ST. LOUIS, April 20. A special to the Republic frcm Perry, Ok. T.. says: "The latest news from the battle between the Dalton gang and the posse of deputy United States marshals is not as bad as at first reported. A messenger named Case arrived tday from the vicinity of the Twin mountains and reports a flght, but the fatalities were not so numerous as at first reported. It is certain that more than one person was killed and a woman and little girl wounded. It seem that Bruce Miller has ben harboring the Daltons of late, and that the Daltons spent Sunday night at Miller's. The posse of deputy marshals surounded the house Monday morning. Miller, nis brother, his wife and daughter and ?. hired man were there, but the Daltons had left only twenty minutes before. The marshals guarded the house till Tuesday night when a etorm came up and they left. Miller and his crowd were In the house all this time, and in the meantime hundreds of shots were fired by both sides. Bruce Miller and his brother left the house and when morning came a reinforcement Of twenty men came in. Mrs. Miller and a hired man appeared at the door and 7 Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil presents a perfect lood palatable, easy of assimilation, and an appetizer ; these are everything to those who are losing flesh and strength.

the latter was killed. Mrs. Miller tried to dras the body of the hired rnau from the door and was struck by . a stray ehot In the shoulder. The woman and little child at last accounts were in a precarious condition. James Dunn's place was net visited by the marshal's posse and ther the gang: was found. A battle took place Wednesday night and the marshals think Bill Dalton and Bill Doolan were both killed, but the darkness prevented them from learning this t a certainty. The marshals are certain that some of the band -were killed and a number wounded. The Evening Times here haa information that both Bill Dalton- and Bill Doolan were killed and borne oft by their comrades, but this cannot be verified this evening. The latest news says -that Heck Thomas of this city, one of the bravest men in the territory, was also killed. DUKE AND PRINCESS ONE.

Her royal highness, Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, was married today in the chapel of the ducal palace here to Gran I Duke Ernest Louis Charles Albert William of Hesse,' grandson of Queen Victoria. The weather was Splendid and the city was packed with royal and imperial guests, foreign visitors and German sight-seers. At first the sky was overcast and rain was in prospect, but by 9 o'clock the sky had cleared. The ducai chapel, which had been thoroughly decorated for the occasion, is an ancient, oblong building, full or elaborate raintings and frescoes. Its interior being surrounded by a gallery supported by broad, fiat pilars, terminating in frescoed arches. On the plain altar, draped with crimson velvet and gold, stood a handsome ivory any ebony crucifix, flanked by tall waxen tapers and gold candlesticks. Carlands of lir hung gracefully from pillar to pillar and the pulpit was embedded ih beautiful white flowers. This being primrose day in England, In honor of Queen Victoria, primroses, brought especially from England, formed one of the leading features of the elaborate floral decorations.

COL BRECKINRIDGE'S CASE. The Women of I.elnjfloii May Purge n I'm Thunderbolt. LEXINGTON. Ky., April IS. The women of this city have been holding their peace lately, but now In a very short time it is possible that they may be heard from. The fact that Breckinridge's friends jire preparing to wi.e him an ovation at the opera house here on the ."ah of May is causing them to examine their husbands and see who it is that is going to throw his Sunday Jiat in the air and jell for Breckinridge. The husband of t.no of these ladies said today: "The women are holding their breath with astonishment, and if such an ovation takes place they will hold a mass meeting and denounce the whole proceedings." Congress Will ot Act. WASHINGTON. April IS. The feeling among leading members of the house of representatives is that r.o- action should be taken concerning the Breckinridge scandal. As yet none of the petitions or resolutions asking for Breckinridge's expulsion have readied the house. When they come they will take tlie usual course and are not likely to get further recognition than having the caption read to the house and then going to swell the tons of accumulated petitions. There is some difference of opinion among the veterans of the house as to-the right lo pa,s on questions of morality affecting a member. One of the best lawyers in the house said the constitution gave ample authority. He cited the case of Brooks, who was expelled from congress for assaulting Charles Sumner with a cane. According to another authority any wrong-doing was to be passed upon by a member's constituents. So far as congress was concerned It was obliged to accept the certificate of a member's election without going back of the returns and Investigating his private character. But the burden of congressional opinion is against this view. A case in the fourth congress is cited in which Representative Lyon was tried for spitting in the face of Representative Griswold, and he narrowly escaped expulsion. This, like the Brooks case, was an offense committed On the floors of congress. There apIears to be a dearth of precedents on offenses committed wholly outside of congress. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The statistics of the United States agricultural department show soma curiosities in the value of farm animals, and the figure are enormously large. For instance, the horses in this country number over 16,000,0öi) and are valued at $769.000,000 (using round numbers), the average value per head being H7.S3. Iowa is the banner state with 1,367,000 horses, closely followed by Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Kansas and Ohio, in the order named. Rhode Island's horses average the highest in price in proportion to number, each horse being valued at $90.43, while New Mexico ranks the lowest, the average being but $15.5.0. Missouri, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia lead on mules, the former state holding the highest honor, with nearly 239,000 mules, valued at $45.91 each. These prices are quoted to January, 1S94, and as compared with 1S93 they show a decrease of 125.000 horses in the United States and a decrease in value for 1S94 of $223,000,000. hs the average price last year was $61.22. while this year, as stated, the average is but $47.83, the difference in price representing an enormous shrinkage in the value of rhe whole. Covrs and Sheep. There are almost the same number of cows and horses, the cows slightly leading, but the value of each con Is but $21.77, the total value being $3.".9,000,OöO. New York leads, having 1,572,000 cows, with Iowa and Illinois second and third, the highest prices being obtained in New Jersey, where the average is $3.".20, with Arkansas lowest, at $10.7. There are 45.OO0.0O0 sheep, valued at J1.9S each, the total value being about $$9.000.000. There are also 4.0oo.noo hogs, valued at $3.9$ each, the total being over $270.000.000. California has the most sheep, 3,900,000, with Texas close up, her proportion being 3.SO0.O00. Ohio, Oregon. New Mexico, Montana and Michigan follow. NewJersey leading in price, at $4.S im sheep, and Alabama the lowest, at $1.22. Compared with 1893 cows have increase! f3,Oit0, and are also a small fraction higher in value on the average, the total Increase in value being over $2.000,Ono. Sheep have largely decreased in number as well as in value, and the same imy b said of swine, yet the decrease in the value of each sheep is but 68 cents and of each hog 43 cents. Knoruioii Vnlne of Stock. The total value of horses, cows (oxen and other cattle also), sheep and swine, amount to the enormous sum of $2.170,(kio.Ooo. This does not Include poultry and eggs, which would probably add twenty-five ier cent, more to the total sum. The shrinkage in value, compared with 1893. is $312,000.000, of which the horses are responsible for the larger share. The stock interests of this country, large as they appear, are really less than they should be. With the use of improved breeds the value of the c attle and sheep could be more than doubled. This is shown in the average for swin? $3.9M, which is quite larg, owing to the great improvements made in the breeds of swine within the past two decades. It is gratifying to know that cattle have helil their prices and numbers, as it demonstrates a greater and growing interest in that direction. All Around the I'nrm. There is not very much difference in th ost of feeding a cow that makes 13 pounds of butter in a year and one making double as much. It is said that heating whey to ICO degrees will retard fermentation and increase Its feeding value. The heating should be done at the factory. The first matter of importance in starting a dairy is to have good cows. No matter how good the care a beef cow will not make a profitable butter cow. Charcoal is almost a necessity for hogs. Its cost is but little and ail that i:i requited is to place a large piece in the pen daily, as the hogs will easily crush it for their use. ' House plants become gradually covered with dust, and the leaves are unable to perform their functions. It Is essential that they be washed with tepid water at least twice a week, by spraying on the plants with a bulb syringe. Any animal will eat too much salt it deprived of it for a length of time. A little salt every day will be beneficial. If a lump of rock salt is placed where all kinds of stock can have access to it they will regulate the quantity for themselves. We are getting used to the handling of lanterns and other lights in barns and outhouses, and to fires, stoves and flues in the house bv their every-day use, but it will nevertheless pay the head of the house to look over th-mi once in a while that he take no extra risks of loss Or disaster. The farm that does not support a flock of poultry is not managed to the best purpose. On the contrary the farm on which too much poultry Is kept will be the loser to the extent that It is overburdened. for where poultry Is crowded lato a house it ceases to be profitable. No kind of land should remain Idle. It can be made to produce söme kind of crop, or It can be improved in fertility in some manner. If useless for crops let it be given up to sheep. If this cannot be done plow it and use lime on It, so as to allow it to become fit for cultivation in the future. A writer in the American Bee Journal says that a little strychnine mixed with a couple of eggs, placed In an eggshell, and put where skunk.4 meander around. Is the neatest, quickest and most effectual way to get rid of these "pets" of the farmer and horticulturist. No expense, and no offensive smells. There are mAny things that should be carefully observed In the education of horses that are entirely omitted. Too much dependence is placed in the bits, lines, strength of the harness, the use of the whip and the ability of the driver to control the horse by sheer brute force. Hence there are so many fatal accidents. Be sure that the early sitters have a warm place for a nest. Prepare the nest first by putting In some road dust; slightly hollow it in the center and then put on a layer of fine straw. Eleven eggs are plenty for a medium-sized hen, nine for a small one. Too many egg in a nest causr poor hatches and runty chickens. The earliest fodder crop is peas and oats, sown together, on rich land, using plenty of seed. When the seed pods of tha peas bejjln to form the crop may be cut and cured. Or the green food may be cut dally and carried to the barnyarl. A large orop can be grown on an acre, and It will be highly relished by cows and sheep. No man will be successful with pure breeds if he neglects even the Rcrubs.

agement. This is necessary t all times, and must be made a duty. Many of the failures with pure breeds are due to the lack of management. Animals cannot pay unless they are used for all that can be obtained from them. There are many fixed customs in agriculture that seem to be handed down from generation to generation as laws that must always be obeyed. Progress in agriculture Is retarded by these customs, and even "When facts thow that former methods are erroneous, there Is resistance to the changes which are finally forced upon the unbelieving. At a farmers institute at Kidder, Mo., recently. Mr. Ell Fox said that in 1S91 he had sold from eight or nine rods in strawberries one hundred and fifty quarts of berries for S cents a quart, $12. an-5 from ten rods in raspberries, thirty gallons, at 33 cents a gallon, $10.50. This is at the rate of over $200 for the strawberries and $1CS an acre, for the raspberries. The bifr, large-boned and coarse-built horse may take the eye of some farmers as he is exhibited at the county or sate fair. It is not such horses, however, that will do the most effective work on th6 farm. Much the larger part of farm work requires activity as well as strength. There is a great deal of hauling when the difference in the walking gait is more important than anything else. Allolstein heifer, two years old. tested last November, produced over fourteen pounds of butter in one week. She was well bred, however, coming from a large family wh'-h was noted for large yields of milk, and for individuals with good butter records. This proves the advantage of breeding from animals whose ancestors for many generations have excelled In the uses for which they were intended. Instead of taking eggs to the nearest grocery store a writer advises trying the experiment of selling them at some private residence. You will have no difficulty In securing more than the regular price if you can satisfy the custlmer that the eggs are from your own hens. The reason Is that it is difficult to secure strictly fresh eggs in winter, and there is always more or less suspicion existing toward those offered in the regular market. It is important that the floor of th hen house should be without Tracks. These are almost inevitable where boards are used, and the moist droppings will also cause board floors to rot quickly. A cement floor, if properly made, will last a lifetime, and is very easily cleaned. To inevent the excrement from adhering to it. keep a little dry earth in one corner, and sprinkle It over the floor w hen entirely cleaned, and again occasionally as (he droppings accumulate under the roosting places. It Is an axiom that p.or seed without costing anything is always dearer than th best at high prices. This Is especially true of the cabbag. It is easy and inexpensive to grow poor seed. Any stump from which the head has been cut will send up shoots and seed abundantly; Hut very little of thU seed will produce good heads. The right way to grow cabbage seed Is to select the best heads and plant them with root and head attached. The- seed thus grown will lie plump and will produce plants that head well. lloimeliolri Hint.

Onions, carrots and celery are good vegetables for all kinds of soup. Tomatoes have become a favorite vegetable. The flavor is a great Improvement to almost all kinds of meat and fish. If soup Is to be strained merely cut the tomatoes up, and put them in with other vegetables. If not. boll them a little and strain th?m before putting them into the soup. P'Twdered French chalk Is recommened for cleaning light summer woolens. It Is very inexpensive, and may. therefore, be used liberally. Cover the soiled parts thickly with the chalk, let it remain a day or two, and then remove with a camel's-halr velvet brush. It is claimed that in most cases this treatment will cause the spots to disappear entirely. AH kinds of raised bread or cake rise much qukker In a kitchen in the day time when the kitchen is warm, than at night, when the fire is out. Therefore five or six hours In the day are equal to twelve hours at night. In cold weather anything made with yeast should be made early in the evening, that it may get started to rise before the kitchen is cold. Some housekeepers keep a piece of an old ironing-blanket, kept clean, to fold and lay over the cotton or linen bread-cloth, to keep the bread warm while rising. A very convenient mucilage can be made of onion juice by anyone who wishes to use it. A good-sized Spanish Onion, after being boiled a short time, will yield, on being. pressed, quite a large quantity of very adhesive fluid. This Is used quite extensively in various trades for pasting paper onto tin or zinc, or even glass, and the tenacity with which It holds would surprise anyone on making the first attempt. It is the cheapest and best mucilage for such purposes, and answers Just as well as many of the more costly and patent cements. Some of the cements sold by Btreet fakirs at 10 cents a bottle consist of nothing but onion juice and water, and th6 bottle and cork cost a great (leal more than th contents. " Vnlunhle Recipes.

Pnssy's Ride In n Paddle Box. Steamer City of Newport on her trip to this city from Newport on Mondayhad a passenger which escaped the notice of the purser and evaded the payment of fare. On the arrival of the steamer here a peculiar noise was heard in the paddle box. and Investigation revealed the presence of a very disconsolate and much bedraggled eat, whoae appearance gave conclusive evidence that it had made the entire trip Of thirty miles from the summer capital In that rather unpleasant portion Of the craft. It was so wet and discouraged-looking that its own mother would not nave recognized it. but after it had been taken out by removing some Of the planks and had been dried it was found to be the pet feline of Agent Simmons of the Newport end of the line.

50CIAL TIRITV LEAGl'H ATVD THE CASE OF HR ECK IN RIDGE. K. Statement hy the Organization Matlna,- That the Safety ( the Church ni.d the Integrity ( the State Depends tpan Gout! Morals. NEW YORK, April 18. The National Christian league for the promotion of social purity today issued a statement regarding its attitude toward the case of Congressman Breckinridge. The statement corrects certain published reports of the meeting of March 21. and denies that the president said .the league would appeal to congress to depose Col. Breckinridge whether there was any Jaw for it or not; or that the league would ask Mrs. Breckinridpe to leave her husband. The statement, then proceeds: "In view of Mr. Breckinridge's elevated rank of statesmanship, his high position in the church, an expounder of morals in schools, honored In society at home and abroad, as the respected head of a family, who has been disclosed to the eyes of the whole nation as a hypocrite in the church, prominent deceiver in his high official position as a statesman and a volator of every sacred relation in the home and family during the past decade; and, "Whereas. The National Christian leapue for the promotion of social purity, believing that the safety of the church, the very life of the home and the integrity of the state depends upon individual purity and that the standard should b the same for the man as for the woman, and earnestly striving by organized effort to elevate such standard anl thereby accomplish that which is fer the best interests of the race; now he jt "Resolved. That the National Christian league for the promotion of social purity appeals hereby to the manhood and womanhood of the nation to recognize In W. C P. Breckinridge ithc common enemy of the church, of the home, of the state and of society at large, and that they be urged as an imoerative duty, as well a privilege.both by preconcerted action and by Individual effort, to teach the lesson that 'the way of the transgressor is hard,' and thus to rn.,ke his life stand out as an example and warning, leat condonation lad to corruption, and corruption sip the vitality of the church, injure society, imperil the home and destroy the nation." SENATOR V0R0 HEES SPEAKS. A Letter Explaining: Iii Attitude on the Tnrlff Ilili. WASHINGTON', I. C. April 1:1, 1R9I. My Dear J-'ir Let me thank you for your kind favor of several days a'o, and assure you that It would have received an earlier acknowledgment but fer the unceasing anl unsparing demand there Is here on every moment of my time. For several months past my labors have been har' r and more constant day and nisht, than ever before in the whole course of my life, and my correspondence bus, to my urcat regret, been much neglected. At tims my mail has brought more than a thousand letters a day. Thi- must be my excuse to you and other cherlshe friends fur not being more prompt to answer. I send you a full and correct copy of my speech of the 2d in the senate. It secras that in certain quarters I am to be aisaile.l for all that is clone or lft undone by the senate of an unsatisfactory character en the subject of the tariff. To begin with, the senate committee on finance is composed of eleven members, six of whom are democrats and rive republicans. Jn order to be able to report a bill of anykind on the tariff you see that there must be an absolute acieeaunt K-tvvetn the six democrats constituting a majority of that committee each member of that majority. Including the chairman, having his own vote to cnt and no more. Any bill on the subject of revenue for the support of the government by taritT taxation from the first one in 173 to the present time has been nee ssarlly an:) inevitably an adjustment between men In regard to business and labor interests of the highest importance. Und of the greatest compromise measures which marked Henry' Clay's long and brilliant career was that Of ls'2 on the subject, the terms and the details of the tariff. In fact, it must be admitted that everything of great value In the history- of this government, including the constitution of the I'nited States itsHf and all the leading enactments of our legislative history, comes from the spirit of concession, and tl.e work of compromise. Of course, the right of a majority to govern must be conceded or our form of government must be abandoned. No one man In committee, in the senate, or anywhere else can have his own way regardless of ethers while liberty remains regulated by law. There are several features In the bill now pending In the senate which I did not desire to have in it, but because 1 was overruled on the- points I did pot therefore feel at liberty to join the republican members of '.he committee, report no bill at all. defeat all proposed legislation and thereby leave the McKinley law remain on our statute books. Von will see that the till we reported reduces taxes nearly seventy millions per annum $21,t,o of that amount being taken off the wearing apparel of the people. I sayto you with the utn.ost frankness and sincerity that I fought hard against anything at all being put on sugar, iron or coal, but when it wa demonstrated in a full three days' hard-working caucus of all the democratic senators, as wll as In the committee, that a bill with thee articles absolutely on th free list could no more pass the senate than a ship of lead could navigate the ocean, I came to the conclusion after anxious and painful solicitude that it Was my plain, clear and explicit duty to the Ialorlng masses of the country, and especially to the democratic party of Indiana, to support the bill as it now stands; to make sure of the immense reductions In tariff taxation which it fuarantees and then continue to tight for urther progress and reform hereafter. I cannot help remt-mbering that the world was not made In a day, although there was no want of a reliable majority on that occasion. If I have made a misvake in the discharge of my duty as one of your senators, it Is in believing that the bill we reported and which is now pending is greatly to be preferred to no legislation at all to the ouious McKinley law which we stand pledged to iepeal. But I think much Is bt-ing said anl written now in absolute Ignorance of what the senate bill as well as the Wilson bill actually contains. Are the people of Indiana aware of the fact that the lowest average rate of duty, or of tariff tx, ever known In this country since the Walker tariff of 1S4S. and its subsequent democratic amendments in 157. is the rate now provide i for. and contained in the bill I had the honor to report to the senate on the 2Hh c"ay of March, and which is now pending? This statement Is true, notwithstanding the transfer of certain articles from the free list in the house till to the dutiable list in the senate bill. 1 repeat that the average rate of duty, or of tariff tax. as It may be better described, in the pending senate bill, with sugar, coal and iron all charged up to It. Is lower than the average rate of duty or of tariff tax in the Wilson bill as it cime from the house with those articles on the free list. iaii In thi ffinneetlnn A I few treasury statistics which are omcially reliable, and may we oi inic-r-c i ma. time. , . .

At the same time 1 am hardly willing- to be clubbed to death, or read out of the democratic party in the name of the Wilson bill by those who art totally Ignorant of Its most Important provisions. The Imperious demand that the senate shall pbs the Wilson bill without further smend ment Is a burlesque on common senee. There is not an Intelligent man In the United states, with information on the subject, who has for a moment though the Wilson bill was to pass the senate without amendment. Its own authors and supporters have never expected anything of th kind. When it came over to the senate it was followed by many of. Its ablest and most judicious friend, pointing out to Iba aenat committee on finance

where and In what respect it could be Improved bv amendments. T'ut aside from all other features of the Wilson bill, as it passed the house and came to the senate, a dnciencv will oecur in the treasury for the fiscal " year ISC of $27.278.715.33. Tl.e title of the bill is: "A bill to reluce taxation, to provide revenue for the government, snd for other purposes." It is but Just to the way and mean committee of the house to explain that they thougnt this deficiency would be mce up by an increase of importations in the future. An estimate of this Kind, however, im whollv conjectural. It may come true, or It may entirely fall. mot likely the latter. The depressed condition of business over the world at this time make our importations Very uncertain. Surely a mere guess at the future on a question so vital as government revenue is not safe ground on which to legislate. The fulfilment of t hepledge la the title of the bill, "to provi2 revenue for the government." cannot le left in any doubt. If a deficiency should occur the 'actual cash must be raised to meet it, either by issuing treasury notes or Interest-bearing government boni. the latter a thing most abhorrent to the American people. Kather than knowingly an-i consciouMv secure the passage of a bill which aimed to provide revenue for the government, but in reality proviei for a deficiencv and a consequent increase cf our Interest-bearing bonded debt. I would glaliv leave rr-v seat here in the Senate and hide myself forever as far as possible ftfrm public Ossrace. You knew I want no hard words with anyone. 1 cherish nat the slightest res-m-me-ii on accunt of anything that has bee a siid. 1 have not a particle of ambition t eratifv in the future, but if anyone in Indiana," or anywhere else, ihink it wise t impu-rn my motives and impeach my de-nvK-raey in th nein of a measure which fails tr provide sut'ieient revenue wlth which to piy the ordinary expanses of the government." while at the jam" time It levies a higher rate of tax thn the bill I reporte 1 to the senate, that person, whoever he may be. will tinl my s;de of that issue, not neslected at the proper time, before our people. I do not ciaim perf ect ion, as you know, for the senate bUl. but un lr all "the trving circumstances here, I am wi'ling to stand or tail by a bill which makes far heavier reductions on the neoensiries of life then the Milis bill, the Morrison bill or any other proposed democratic bill since the amendments to the Waiker tariff in ls.".7. and that while making such reJuci inns and giving such reuef also inrrpjwi the revenue and places the credit of the government on secure foundations. This kind of a platform will do to stand o:i at the close of my career if the close is at han 1. After all. however, loth. the bills are alike mereiv tentative and experimental: they will have to go together to the joint conferenve committee of the two bouses, neither of them in terms will become th law. The enactment, if one is reached, will simply be such a measure of compromise as will commend jtsell tu the judgment of the conference committee appointed to adjust the differences between the two bouses as manifested in the two bills. With great respect and kind regards, I am. as ever, very truly your friend. P. W. YOOKHKFA The Hon. John I?. Stoll. South Bend. lnd.
