She called for assistance, but before her neighbors arrived Alphones had cut his own throat from ear to ear with a razor, dying shortly afterward.

He had stolen the razor from a shop, sharpened it before going t@ bed, and took it to bed with him.

John Forhan, farmer, was shot dead near Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, Sunday, while returning home'from Tralee in a car with three laborers.

A man wearing a mask of white cloth entered a field, at Glounamuhle, County, Cork, on Saturday, where a farmer named MacAulifle was working with a man named Ruare. The man demanded their names.- .Ruare gave him a false name and the stranger ordered him to ~get uporr hiS'kgggt'. itoare-obcyedranfl-the stranger shot him twice, inflicting wounds from which Re ‘died witliin an Four. The stranger then ranaway. He was not identified by McAuliffe. -Henry M. Stanley is rapidly hemming the question of the hour, owing to the multiplication of rumors concerning tbe mysterious “white pasha,” who, it is claimed by many, is really Stanley,

coupled with the total absence of definite news regarding the explorer and hl« party. It is now quite a year since Mr. Stanley has been heard from through means of direct communication giving evidence of genuineness. The most probable of the theories put forth concerning him is the one that Stanley has failed to meet Emin, and that both are in pressing need of help. It is not likely that either- Stanley or Emin would engage in a march of conquest against Khalifa Abdullah, the new Mahdi. without being adequately supplied with men, arms, ammunition,, stores, etc., and it is, of course, known that neither is so equipped. This is held to dissipate tlie assumption that one of them is the “white pasha.”

NOTABLE GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone celebrated their golden wedding Wednesday. Testimonials in the shape of letters, telegrams and presents poured in upon them by hundreds. The couple were given a reception at the residence of Earl Spencer Wednesday afternoon, and were presented with portraits of themselves painted by Messrs. Frank Holl and Hubert Herkomer, and also with three large silver cups and an address signed by 150 members of Parliament. Lord Granville made the speech of presentation. Mr, Gladstone, replying to the congratulatory address, wished to indorse all that the address contained with reference to his wife. It would be difficult, ho said, to give an adequate idea of the domestic happiness of his married life. With regard to the allusions to himself he felt that they were too flattering. His conduct had often been criticised, sometimes,perhaps, unjustly, but he thought that on the whole the criticising had been more to his benefit than the reverse. He could fairly say that he was hardly able to recall an incident in his public life that was in any way painful to recollect. He thanked them warmly for their kindness. The following telegram was sent by President Fitzgerald, of the Irish National League of ‘America: “The Irish National League of America congratulates yourself and Mrs. Gladstone on the occasion of your golden wedding and wishes both many more happy years, crowned by the triumph of your policy of justice to Ireland.”

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

At a conference of Republican Senators Thursday night it was decided to prepare a substitute for the Mills bill, and to report it and pass it, no matter how long it might take. The bill will be an outgrowth of that already sketched by the sub-committee, and the net reduction of revenue to be attained will probably be between $65,000,000 and $80,000,000. Senators Allison and Aldrich say the sub-committe. of the finance committee is working night and day on the Republican tariff bill, and that they believe the sub-committee will have the measure ready to report to the full committee early next week, and that not more than two weeks will be required by the full committee to have the bill ready to report to the Senate. This will put the bill on the calendar about the 10th or 15th of August. Senator Manderson, when asked whether the Senate would likely get a bill out of the committee at this session—or whether it would permit the question to remain pending until December; replied: “I have no doubt that the Republicans will insist upon reporting a bill so that the country will know exactly what our party proposes to do in the way of tariff reform. Of course it is not material that we should pass the bill at this session. I presume it will take six or eight weeks to debate the bill and that we could not adjourn before the Ist of October if we tried to pass a bill.

SEVEN MEN KILLED.

Sam Robinson, the City Marshal of Hugotoa, Kansas, and M. Cook, of the same town, went to the Dudley ranch, near Pony Creek, Kansas, Thursday, accompanied by their wives, to look up some cattle which they were trying to buy. While taking dinner, Deputy Sheriff Short, a Woodsdale man, accompanied by five other Woodsdale men, rode up to the party and asked Robinson to surrender, as he had a warrant for his arrest. Robinson, said he would go a short distance from camp, leaving Cook and the ladies behind, and then give his enemies a chance to take him. He did so, and, on reaching a convenient spot, both parties opened fire with the result that four Woodsdale men turned up their toes. The other two fled, and Robinson escaped without a scratch. Cook hastened to Hugoton and gave the alarm,and soon an armed squad went to their assistance. Meeting a lot of Woodsdale men an encounter took place, in which three more persons were killed and a number wounded. According to reports, the whole county is at war, but Sam Wood has again disappeared. John Cross, Sheriff of Stevens county, was one of the men killed in the second

METHODS OF TRUSTS.

The Standard Oil’. Way of Miking a Monopoly and Combination—The Coogr«i *ioi,ai Conimi tee’s llrpor,. The House committee on manufactures Monday submitted the following report concerning trusts and investigations: The committee on manufactures respectfully report that, acting under the authority and direction of a resolution of this House, they have proceeded to investigate and inquire into matters and things referred to in said resolution and have examined witnesses and papers thereto. Your committee further report that the names of various combinations and trusts have been ifom time to time furnished to your committee, that the number of such combinations is very large, and that your committee in calling witnesses and taking testimony proceeded upon the following plan of investigation, i. e. to inquire. L With relation to trusts or combinations in lines of business, which are connected with or use articles in which there exists a competition in our markets between domestic product and the foreign product imported and dutiable under our tariff laws.

2. With relation to such combination dealings for articles which are not importea into this country or are not subject to import duties. 3. With relation to such combinations dealing on articles which are subject to taxation under the internal revenue laws of the United States. Your committee has particularly directed its inquiry into the" method and extent of the business owned or controlled by the Sugar Trust and the Standard Oil Trust, and respectfully submit herewith the testimony taken before it in relation to these two trusts. In submitting this testimony your committee desire to call the attention of the House to the form of organizations of these two trusts. Both oi them are organized on substantially the same plan. From the testimony it appears that there exists a certain number of corporations organized under the laws of the different States and subject to their control; that these corporations have issued their stock to various individuals, and that these individual stockholders have surrendered their stock to the trustees named in the agreement creating these trusts, and accepted in lieu thereof certificates issued by the trustees named therein. The agreements provide that the various corporations whose stock is surrendered to the trustees shall preserve their identity and carry on their business.

In the Sugar Trust agreement, the provision is that the several corporations shall maintain their separate organization and each shall carry on and conduct its own business. In the Standard Oil Trust agreement is provided that all property, real and personal, assets and business shall be transferred to and vested in the said several companies. The duties of the trustees are restricted to the receipt of dividends declared by the various corporations and the distribution of the aggregate of them to the holders of the Trust certificates pro rata, and to hold and voting upon the stock of the corporation. The trustees, in both cases upon the stand as witnesses, specifically denied that trustees, as such ever do any other business than to receive and distribute these dividends and exercise the only other function given to them by the Trust agreement—that is, to hold the stock of the various corporations and exercise the right ofstocknolders in such corporation. The care with which the trustees avoid making any agreement relating to commodities appears from the testimony as to the arrangement with the Oil Producers’ Association in the fall of 1887. The officers of the Producers’ Association testified than an agreement was then made with the Standard Oil Trust by which 5,000,000 barrels of oil belonging to the Standard Oil Trust was set apart for the benefit of the association, upon its agreeincto curtail the production of crude petroleum at least 17,500 barrels per diem. These witnesses undoubtedly understand that their arrangement was with the trustees of the Standard Oil Trust. But the written agreement produced and now in evidence shows it was made with and signed by the Standard Oil Company, of New York, one of the companies whose stock is held by the trustrees, and that the Standard Oil Trust, or the trustees thereof as such, are not parties to it, nor is either of them responsible for the carrying out of .that agreement. This form of combination was obviously devised for the purpose of relieving the trusts and trustees from the charge of any breach of the conspiracy laws of the various States, or of being a combination to regulate or control the price of production of any commodity; hence they assert that the corporations themselves which control and regulate the price of commodities and the extent of production and have tangible property, remain with their organization intact and distinct, and not in combination with each other; that the stockholders who owned only the stock, aud by well settled legal rules had no legal title in the property of the corporations entered into the agreements, and sold their stock in the corporations and accepted in payment trust certificates, and that the trustees receive and hold only the stock of corporations, and have no legal title to any of the property of the corporations, and neither buy or sell anvtnirg, nor any one to fix prices or regulate production of any commodity. Your committee have deemed it proper to call their attention to this feature of these combinations because it is believed that it will be found that all trade combinations having similar aims, either have adopted this method or will speedily do so, and also because the legislation whichhas been proposed to this House and referred to your committee has been directed against

combinations to fix the"price or regulate the production of articles of merchandise Or commerce. It is plane" that the combinations, the testimeny concerning which is herewith submitted, have-beem intentionally formed so as to avoid, if possible, the charge that the trust as such orAhe-trustees in that capacity either fixed the price or regulated the production of—any'article of merchandise or commerce. Complaint having been made to Him by citizens of the State of New York against the Sugar Trust and one of the corporations whose stock it hoids, the Attorney General of that State, has, after hearing, directed prosecutions to he commenced against that Trust and the corporation complained of, upon grounds which are set forth in an elaborate opinion which is submitted as part of the evidence in relation to that Tiust and as containing a careful

statement of the law of the State, so far as it affords any remedy against such Trusts.

WASHINGTON.

The Senate, Thursday night, passed 170 private pension bills in fifty minutes. Postmaster General Dickinson has fixed the postage rates on seeds, roots, bulbs, etc., at 1- cent for each two ounces. The House, Tuesday, passed the Senate bill appropriating, $200,000 for the erection of an appraisers’ warehouse in Chicago. The House, Tuesday, passed a bill prohibiting the transmission through the mails in transparent envelopes of matter which would be prohibited if printed or written on the outside of the envelope. The majority of the Senate J udiciarv Committee submitted a report on the Jackson (Miss.) election riots, in which they say that no colored people were allowed to vote at the election and recommend the removal of the United States Marshals and other officials there. Senator Hiscock has introduced the more or less well known service pension bill, providing that all persons who served three months or more in the military or naval service of the United States between April 12, 1861, and July 1, 1866, shall be entitled to a pension at the rate per month of 1 cent for each day’s service.

Representative Springer, of Illinois, has introduced in the House a bill to tax the product of trusts. It provides that in addition to the taxes already imposed upon any product manufactured by trusts there shall be imposed an internal revenue tax of 40 per cent., and that no drawback shall be allowed on such goods when exported. Chief-justice Fuller says he will not take the oath of office at present, He intends to return during the latter part of September, and will then receive the oath and be ready to go upon the bench when the Supreme Court meets in October. He has not yet decided whether he will purchase a residence at Washington, and probably will not reach a definite conclusion as to that until he returns in the autumn.

Mr. Sherman, from the Senate finance committee, Tuesday, reported favorably an amendment proposed by Senator Spooner to the sundry civil bill providing for the refunding of the direct tax paid by the several States and Territories under the act of Aug. 5, 1861, and for the remission of all moneys still due to the United States on account es this tax. This amendment is substantially identical with the bill for the refunding of the direct tax which caused a prolonged dead-lock in the House of Representatives this session. The President, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, Postmaster General Dickinson and Colonel Lamont drove to the Baltimore and Potomac station just before 11 o’clock Thursday morning, and boardedi the 11 o’clock New York express, enroute for Jersey City. On arriving there the party separated, the ladies going to Marion, Mass., where Mrs. Cleveland
