CHEMICAL SCHEDULE.
Senators Talk Learnedly About
Boracic Acid.
TVaphctoto, May 11. Mr. Harris
almost despaired of making progress
with the tariff bill yesterday when Mr.
Qnay introduced in the senate a bill
"To establish a code of laws in the
District of Columbia," and asked for
its reading in full, which could scarce
ly have been complete by the end of
the legislative day. Democratic sena
tors objected, Mr. Vest saying1 the
evident purpose of Mr. Quay was to f
delay the taritl bill, la bin was
finally returned to Mr. Quay, who in.
timated that he might brings it up
again to-morrow. .
Mr. Allen tried in vain to obtain
consideration for his Coxey resolution
and, after a brief discussion of Mr.
Peffer's industrial depression resolu
tion, the senate resumed consideration
of the tariff bilL The proposed duty
on boracic acid was discussed at con
siderable length by Messrs. Perkins
and White of California, Jones of Ar
kansas, McPherson, Gallinger, Man
derson and others.
The pending- amendment was that
of Mr. Perkins to the amendment of
Mr. Jones of Arkansas to change the
duty on boracic acid. Mr. Jones'
amendment increased the duty from
20 per cent ad valorem to 2 cents per
pound. Mr. Perkins' amendment was
to increase it to the present rate, 5
cents.
Mr. Ilarris moved to lay the pending-
amendment (that of Perkins, to
make the duty on boracic acid 5 cents
per pound) on the table. The motion
wrs carried by a strict party vote, 31
25.
The question then recurred upon
Mr. Jones "compromise" amendment,
to change the duty from 20 per cent to
2 cents a pound. Mr. Aldrich moved
to strike out and insert 3 cents. Mr.
Harris moved to lay the amendment
on the table. Carried, by a vote of 31
to 24.
Mr. IToar offered an amendment to
the Jones amendment, providing for a
specific duty of 40 per cent on boracic
acid, in place of 2 cents per pound,
lie wanted a record of Democratic
sentiment on the two systems. Mr.
Ilarris remarked he should have it,
and moved to lay the amendment on
the table, which was carried by a
practically unanimous vote, Mr. Dolph
alone voted in the negative.
The vote then recurred to the Jones
compromise amendment, the Repub
licans voting with the Democrats.
Mr. Mills alone voted nay. The vote
on the next amendment offered by
Mr. 'Jones, changing the duty on
chromic acid from 10 per cent ad
valorem to 4 cents per pound (an in
crease of 23 per cent), was taken
without debate. The Republicans
again voted with the Democrats and
it was adopted 67-2, Mr. Allen and
Mr. Mills voting against it.
The next amendment was that in.
creasing the duty on citric acid from
20 to 25 per cent ad valorem. Mr.
Ilarris moved to lay the amendment
on the table. It was carried -29 to 20 1
as was his motion to - lay on the
table an amendment of Mr. Aldrich
to substitute 7 cents per pound for 25
t cent ad valorem on citric acid. The
amendment increasing the duty to 25
per cent au valorem was then adopted.
The next amendment offered by
Mr. Jones increased the duty on tan
nic acid or tannin from 35 to 75 cents
per pound. The debate on this item
was continued for some time. Jnst
before the senate went into executive
session truce was arranged by which
the Democrats agreed not to press the
motion to meet at 10 o'clock, with the
understanding the morning hour
should be limited to one hour and the
tariff bill be taken tip each day at
noon. At 5:55 the doors were closed.
Naval Appropriation.
Washington, May IS. After action
on some minor bills in the house at
12:17 p. m. yesterday, went into com
mittee on the whole to consider gen
eral appropriation bills (Mr. Richard
son of Tennessee in the chair), and
the naval appropriation bill was taken
up. The debate on the bill took m
very acrimonious character, and
charges and counter-charges of
"colonization" in the navy yards
were freely passed between Mr. Reed,
Mr.- IJoutelle and Mr. Cumraings. At
5 o'clock, the house took a recess
until 8 o'clock, the evening session be-
ing devoted to private bills.
MIRPUT ON KKCORD.
Til MW Tork Senator Dtflaes Htl Posi
tion on tbo TariK
Washington, May 13. The Re
publican senators by their votes yes
terday, and also in private conversa
tion, indicated the purpose of voting
for the amendments proposed by the
Democratic compromise- committee
whenever they increased duties and
changes from the ad valorem to the
specilic system.
It was noticeable the Democrats,'
with the exception of Senator Mills,
stood by the committee recommenda
tion. Senators Hill and Irby, concern
ing whose position there has been
speculation, were absent, but Senator
Murphy, whose position has been con
sidered somewhat doubtful, stood
with his party.
This practically solid vote on the
' Democratic side has given the Repub
licans no little concern, as they have
been hopeful of creating a division
among the Democrats. Soma of them
predict that the cohesion so far dis
played will not continue, but the best
information obtainable at this time
indicates that however unsatisfactory
the bill is to a number of the Demo
crats it will continue, for the present
a J, least, to receive the voting support
of all the Democratic senators, with
possibly two Hctpticns.
Creates health, creates strength, crs
atea vigor: De Witt's Sarsaparilla. It

Nbw York, May 12. Bradstreet's
review of the state of trade says:
"Prolonged warm weather has stimu
lated farm work -as well as sales in
seasonable- lines of merchandise, but
renewed tariff, uncertainly tends to
prolong the period during which mer
chants will continue to buy for actual
needs only, evidences of which fact
have appeared. Bank clearings this
week amount to 5903,000,000, a da
crease of 5.5 per cent from the week
before (which showed an increase)
and a decrease of 34 per cent compared
with the second week of May last
year, when total clearings were
among the largest on record.

AFTER HORSE-THIETES.
An Armed Force of Citizens Pursuing a
Ca.nr of Outlaws.
Muskogee, Ind. Ter., May 12. An
organized band of horse-thieves took
possession a few days ago of one of
the ranches of Captain F. B. Severs,
west of here, and held it for several
days with a large herd of stolen
horses, refusing to let the men on the
ranch have access to it. This bold act
brought the people up into arms, and
about- 100 citizens, under command of
a squad of deputy marshals, went out
to capture them. There were fifteen
or twenty of the horse-thieves.
When they heard they were being
sought, they went to the Seminole
country, taking a herd of sixty stolen
horses with them, but the deputy mar
shals and force pursued them and
have not yet returned. The first day
out one of the thieves was arrested
and another shot.

RIPE FOR LYNCHING,
Fuller Details About the Out
rageous Murder
Of a Whole Family at Browning-,
Mo., Yesterday.
SUSPECTS PURSUED.
Mob Will Lynch the Murderers
if Caught.
BBOOKFiKti), Mo., May 12.- This
county was in a fever of excitement
yesterday caused by one of the most
diabolical crimes ever committed in
this portion of the state. Gus Meeks,
his wife and twochildren, little girls,
were murdered in cold blood Thursday
night, and their bodies thrown in a
straw stack for concealment.
William P. Taylor of Browning, a
town in the Northern portion of this,
Linn, county, is a lawyer and banker,
and up to the day of the murder
was cashier. He has for the past four
or five years been arrested several
times on different charges. Last fall
he and Meeks, the murdered man,
were arrested on a charge of stealing
a herd of cattle from a farmer's pas
ture and driving them to Purdin,
where, it is claimed, it was their in
tention to ship to Chicago in the
night. Meeks had his trial and was
sentenced to the penitentiary. Tay
lor gave bond and his trial was put
off and was to come up in Milan next
week at the Sullivan county circuit
court. While in the penitentiary
Meeks. turned state's evidence, was
pardoned and came home and has
since lived at Milan with his mother
and family. He would of course, have
been a dangerous witness against
Taylor.
Thursday night William Taylor and
his brother, George, a farmer living
near Browning, drove to Milan, a dis
tance of twelve miles, in a two-seated
tQggy- It seems that the Taylor
brothers went to the home of Meeks
and called him outside . the house.
Meeks went back into the house after
awhile and told his family he was
going away to leave the country' and
that the Taylors were going to assist
him, and then the wife said "I and the
children will go with you, Gus." They
all got ready and left with the
Taylors, so the child said yesterday.
George Taylor is a prosperous farm
er living three miles from Browning.
Yesterday morning a little 7-year-old
girl crawled out of a straw stack -on
the Taylor farm and went across the
road to the farm house of Mr. Gooch.
She pittifully told her story of how
she was awakened the night before
while riding along in her father's
arms, of how she heard revolvers go
off and her parents scream. Then
something hit her on the head and
she said she went to sleep she gr.essed
and when she awoke she was in the
hay-stack. There was blood on her
clothing and a bruise on her head.
Before she had finished telling her
sorrowful story George Taylor, at 6
o'clock in the morning, was seen ap
proaching the straw stack with a team
and harrow and begin harrowing
around the stack. The suspicion of
the Gooch family was aroused, and
they went out and told Taylor the
story of the little girl. Taylor at
once unhitched the team, and mount
ing one horse rode off on the run
toward Browning. He went to Banker
Taylor's home in Browning, and about
7 o'clock the Taylor brothers were
seen riding out of town on horseback,
going eastward.
The bodies of Gus Meeks, his wife
and two children were found in the
straw stack, and upon an inquest be
ing held it was found that the father
and mother had both been shot and
then beaten with some weapon or
club.
Although the Taylors left about 7
o'clock yesterday morning nobody
went in 'pursuit of them until after
noon. About that time Prosecuting
Attorney Bresnahan and Marshal
Crithfield of this city were informed
and a posse was formed in this city,
going northeast, with a view to head
ing off the fugitives. Whether they
will be captured remains to be seen.
At this hour nothiDg has been heard
from the pursuers and pursued. If
they reach the Macon county line they
will be in rough timber country and
stand a good show of getting away.
If they are caught short work will
certainly be made of them.
The farmers from the entire north
ern portion of the country have gone
out iu pursuit and large rewards will
be offered if they a're not caught soon.
Excitement is at a high pitch, as it is
the most diabolical crime ever com
mitted in this part of Missouri.
Browning is a live little town of
about 1,000 people. For some time
past there has been a sort of feud
there between the two banks, one of
which was Taylor's, originally belong
ing to Morgan Leonard, capitalist and
farmer, highly respected, who died
the past year, leaving the bank in the
hands of Taylor, his son-in-law. The
first crime Taylor was arrested for
some three years ago, wasoD a charge
of raising a check that passed through
his bank and a bank at Kirksville.
Ever since that time Taylor, although
acquitted of that charge, has been
more or less under a cloud.
A. Handsome. Weddisg Cafeo.
The photograph of an elaborately deo
orated wedding cake is displayed in
front of Leonard's gallery. The cake
itself is large and round, with the usual
white frosting, and ou the top is an arch
of white blossoms and leaves. Suspended
from this is a wedding bell, with the
word "Marriage" embossed on the sur
face and hangs directly over a tiny cupid
on a pedestal of flowers. The cupid bears
a tray, on which are two rings. Made at
the French Bakery, 815 Kansas avenue,
appears at the bottom of the cake.
If dull spiritless and stupid: If your
blood is thick and sluggish: If your ap
petite is capricious and uncertain. You
need a Sarsaparilla. For best results
take De Witt's. It recommends itself.

SCORED THE A. P. A.
Address of national Hibernian Delegate
. Withere at OaiiKi Convention.
Omaha, Neb-, May 12. The first
business before the Hibernian nation
al convention was the report of the
committee on revision of the consti
tution, after which National Delegate
Withere read his annual address. He
urged the establishment of head
quarters for the order and recom
mended that the executive officers live
near each other. The establishment
of Hibernian labor bureaus in every
city of the country is urged. On the
order's duty to Ireland, he asked the
convention "To again renew its
pledges of loyalty to the gallant sons
of Erin, who in the arena of an alien
parliament are making such a grand
and sublime struggle for Irish liberty
and for the principles of Irish nation
ality.". After urging that the stars and
stripes be raised over Catholic schools,
President Withere said:
It has been my pride and hqnor to partici
pate on at least one hundred occasions in
different sections of the great republic, in
which our brethren illustrated In a practical
way their love and devotion to the free insti
tutions of our common country, and con
founded our enemies by raisin? the emblem of
our country's freedom the glorious stars and
stripes over the Catholic schools in their
several localities In thee modern times
when the descendants of the revolutionary
tories are organizing all over the land for trie
avowed purpose or ostracising and destroying
us in business, public and social life, our pro
tests cannot be too strong and our vindication
of the truth of history too pointed It is our
duty to ourselves, to our children and to our
children's children to stand up like manly
men and combat this modern Know-N'otbinu-ism
which is spreading over the land in the
guise of an organization called the A P. A
In my judgment, brethren, it is our duty to
fight this un-American order and its professed
principles with every weapon with which
American freeman should flrht the battle of
right and justice a against the accursed srjirit
of bi.'otry and intolerance, which should 'find
no place under free institutions, but which,
unfortunately, runs riot through our country
at the present time True men love the peo
ple who stand up in a manly way and assert
their God (riven rights, but have no con-idera-tion
for those who slink and in a cowardly way
fail to size up to the doctrine of citizenship,
which is our proudest' boast, thereby proving
themselves as unworthy to enjoy the Ameri
can freeman's h-rit e of equal and exact
justice and equality with all men before the
law. The history of our country proves the
fact that the Iris him n and the Catholic were
the foremost and the bravest in the great
struggle for the sain in of liberty for this land,
and nince thut hap ay time the same people
fought the bravest, shed their blood most
Willi ncrly and made the greatest sacrifice to
perpetuate the same free institutions.
KILLED THE ELEPHANT.
Tin, the New Torlc Slan Killer, Poisoned
to Death.
New Yobk, May 12. Wednesday it
was decided to kill Tip, the big man
killing elephant, yesterday, by giving
him pure prussic acid. He had noth
ing to eat Thursday, so that his
stomach should be entirely empty of
food.
At 6:30 o'clock yesterday every
thing was in readiness and Otto Mops,
for years an animal trainer, walked
up to the cage and handed Tip an ap
ple that had a big dose of cyanide of
potasium hidden in it- He put it in
his capacious mouth. But when he
crunched it between his teeth he evi
dently felt that there was something
wrong with the taste and spat it out.
Mops then tried him with a carrot,
which was similarly drugged, but Tip
refused to taste it, as he did an
other apple and carrot which
were passed to him afterwards.
Mops then gave him a piece of bread
containing about two ounces of the
drug, but the big fellow, after munch
ing it slowly a couple of times, threw
that also to the floor. About an hour
afterward the violent motions of his
head, body and trunk became less
rapid and his legs seemed to be get
ting weak.? This lasted only a short
time, however, and then he regained
his wonted vigor.
At 4:19 he eave up the ghost and
died without a strug-irle. After his !
demise the authorities waited an hour
to be positive that Tip was not sham
ming before they permitted the mem
bers of the press to view the remains.
LOCOMOTIVE F1REMEX.
Row Over a 9100,000 shortage at the
Terre Haute Convention.
Tehbe Haute, Ind May 12. The
board of grand trustees and the grand
executive board of Locomotive Fire
men yesterday considered the com
plaints of firemen against Chief Sar
gent, the latter having refused to
sanction a strike on the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois after the firemen had
voted almost unanimously in favor
of it.
A little diversion in the meeting
was the read-'ngof the published state
ments about a $100,000 shortage in the
Brotherhood funds, and another
abo'.'t a big row between chief Sar
gent and Secretary-Treasurer Arnold
when the latter demanded to know
what had become of the funds. The
officers believe these 6tories were in
stigated by disgruntled members of
the order who now pretend loyalty to
the American railway union. The
fact is the strike fund never reached
but 5669,000. and was in charge of
Chairman Hines of the grand trustees.
Its disposition has v been fully ac
counted for.

JOHN Jt' BRIDE.
Assembly 135 of the Knights, which unit
ed with the National Protective union
in 1890 for the purpose of bringing all
organized miners within one jurisdic
tion, so as to secure unity of action on
all questions affecting the entire body
of workmen and prevent the clashing of
interests that should be identical.
Mr. McBride was chosen chief execu
tive of the united organisations at the
start and has held the position ever
since. He was, formerly an influential
member of the National Federation of
Miners and has been prominent in min
ers' organizations ever since 1883, when

and oame very near being elected presi
dent of that body last year at Chicago.
Mr. McBride was born in Wayne
county, O. , in 1864, and removed to
Massiflon in his childhood. His parents
were in humble Circumstances, " and his
educational opportunities were of an ex
tremely limited order. He went to work
in the Stark county mines at 9 years of
age and became a member of the union
while still a mere youth. . His election
to the presidency of the union was coin
cident with his taking a seat in the state
legislature, where he served two terms
in 1883 and 1885 as a representative
from Stark county, being prominent on
the Democratic side. He served as state
commissioner of 'labor during Governor
Campbell's term of office and was the
