Washington, July 23. Special.
Despite the high leroics of tho Louse, the
eloquent protest of Mr. Wilson, the almost
pathetic appeal of tho president and. tho
fierce Invectives of such men as John De
Witt Warner, tho t !d head3 persist in their
prophecy that tho senate will finally pre
vail on til tho disputed items of the tariff
bill. They point cut that the so called
conservatives in the scnato aro united as
one man, while of the radicals in the
house each section is willing to give way
on somethb-isj. As usual in heated con
ditions of feeling ltween the two houses,
all the precedents have been gone over and
construed with tha usual partisan preju
dice, and tho result shows that, while at
the beInnirjjr id W39 taken for granted
that tho house alone had tho right to
frama a tariff bill, tho power, or rather
tho practice, of the senate in that respect
grew rapidly. Of course nobody can draw
a line when it is onco conceded that the
senate has power to amend, but in prac
tice it is to bo notxl that tho more nearly
the house was divided the more power did
the senate assume The much abused tariff
of 1S28 only passed the house by 107 to
105, and so tho sonata took great liberties.
Tha Polk-Warner tariff of 1840 really got
through the hous only by the influence
of tho pre sident, a.id in tho senate the vote
was a tie, and so Vico President Dallas
liad tho casting vote. Sinco then tho sen
ate has acted as if its powers were coequal
with tho.so of the house.
Looking Out For Votes.
Tho first statements by house leaders
after the disagreement was reported wero
savagely firm. "'Wo may as well send for
our winter clothes," said Mr. Springer,
'for wo ,hall stay hero till March -i if the
Benato dues not yield a good deal."
'I can only repeat what I have said
from tho start," said John Do Witt War
ner, "that this thin; must bo fought to a
finish sometime; that there never was and
probably never can bo r better time for
tho hoiiM to aaserr. ifs constitutional rights
on bills for raising revenue, and that it is
ovir duty to tay it through." The opin
ion of nearly nil Democrats from west of
Ohio may bo siunmed up in the words of
.Mr. Cooper of I:idiana: "I would much
rather sweat ir. through hero till Dacem
ber comes again than to po homo and try
to explain to my constituent why I
didn't stick. Thero is decidedly more en
joyment lure for a western congressman
than there would 13 as home if the senate
bill wero accepted, and, in my opinion,
every man of us will gain more votes by
staying." At least a ecoro of western
Democrats sat down at onco and wrote
open let ters to their constituents to be
read in convention, and without an excep
tion they announced their intention to stay
till the senate yielded. General Black
took a somewhat more conservative view,
saying: "It is never safe to prophesy what
the. popular brat ch of a legislative body
will do. Just now it looks as if Springer
were right, and wc might as well send for
cur winter clothes, but there is a great
and increasing anxiety in tho country to
havo tho matter fettied, even if it bo but a
temporary settlement, and that is bound
to influence tho member as soon as peti
tions to that e.Tect begin to come in."
Many others put in a caveat like this:
'Personally I should insist on the house
bill or nothing, but I doubt if we can hold
our members up to it." So, a3 aforesaid,
In s-pite of tho pre sent vigorous protests,
tho old heads thi nk they see signs of yield
ing on tho part ef the house.
Applause For Wilson.
The scene when tha conferees reported
to the house was quite dramatic. Chair
man Wilson, his face distorted by neural
gia and almost concealed by bandages, en
tered, leaning upon the arm of Clif Breck
inridge, and both received a ovation. "The
applause," says Champ Clark, "was about
one-third for Olif's appointment as minis
ter to Russia and the other two-thirds for
the Prometheus of the house, who is suf
fering the torments of the damned and
yet will not yield his vital principle."
Mr. Wilson was probably not suffering
quito as much as if the vultures were
gnawing tit his visals, but in tho midst of
his agony ho wr s resolute an the chained
hero of the Caucasus and spoke with all
his usual ability. It was, however, a re
lief when tho earoo conferees were reap
pointed and tho housa resumed routine
business.
The next matter of interest was the
Tucker resolution for an amendment to
the constitution elirectinrf tho election of
United States senators by a voto of the
people. It was i.bly argued, of course; but,
60 far as they will express themselves, not
one member in ten thinks it will be adopt ed
for years, if ever. Several members of
tho judiciary committee and it is worth
noting thse they represent all sections of
tho country sey bluntly that. tho popular
suffrage business has been carried quite
far enough, ant- thht tho real problem now
is to restrict it within proper limits and
m-x". ;r.. ifo and honest.
- Miner Matters.
If tho session should bo so prolonged on
account cf the tariff, some of the foreign
affairs committee think that th?y may
havo new and entirely unexpected busi
ness, for the cholera is moving; westward
through Russia, and the plague is work
ing havoc in China and threatening to
spread toother countries, while there i -.
war likely in R'orea. another revolution in
Haiti and asortcf British complication in
Hawaii. Possibly theso things had some,
effect in causing the house conferees on
tho naval appropriation bill to yield so
much to the senate as they elid. The sen
ate addition cf $150,000 for remodeling
the oil JIartfcrd as a training ship and
the $8,000 for repairs to the old Constitu
tion were allowed to stand, and so was the
ectioa which allows the secretary of the
navy to fill vae-ancles in the corps of ca
dets, but an appointee must have lived two
years in the district for which he is named.
All congrcssm in whose districts are now

"TO THE LEAST OF THESE."
A Toachintlncident of Clii ULren's Xay Ex
ercises. One beautiful Sunday in June the chil
dren of a wealthy city church were pass
ing in procession around from the Sun
day school rooms through the lobbies
and so into the church, where crowds
were assembled for the Children's day
observances. A ragged little pirl heard
the bi organ us a'ue passed along, and
when her sharp black eyes caught night
of the little ones walking two by two in
ti;eir white dresses she crept in to be
nearer. No one spoke to her. She was
amazed and had a vague thought that it
must be heaven.
Each child carried on her arm a crush
basket full of lovely white flowers. The
older members of the school would bring
bright colored ones. These infant class
tots were all in white, with their baskets
full of the blossoms whose color match
ed their pure young souls. The guiding
teachers had stepped in gust beforo the
last few pairs.
"Gimme a flower, said the street
child, pointing to those on the arm of
the last little girl. She had noticed the
stranger with a sweet smile.
Impulsively she took the ribbon tied
basket off and held it out to the little
girl, who clutched it, with a cry of de
light, and buried her dirty lace in it. It
was all done in an instant, and then the
last little girl, realizing what she had
done in her generous haste, followed the
rest without any floveis to strew at the
foot of a floral cross that was to stand
when finished in a bed of white blos
soms. No one noticed the lack except
the child's mother, who bad slung the
white ribbons carefully ove r her darling's
arm when dressing her that morning.
But to the timid little one it seemed as if
the eyes of the whole church were upon
her and as if all who saw her would
think: "There is one who has no flowers
to lay at the foot of the cross. She must
have been careless and forgotten or lost
them." She was glad when the exercises
were over and she could tell her mother
how it happened.
"!Never mind, mv darling, ion gave
them to God just as much as if you had
brought them into the church," s-aid the
mother. "Perhaps the little girl needed
them more than any one else in this big
city just now. Who knows?"
In a few weeks the light had gone out
of the house where the sweet child lived,
because she had left it forever. While
her desolate moiher sat alone one day
there came a message from a poor wom
an, and as the por were the only visit
ors she would not turn away in those
dark davs she went down stairs.
A woman, with a face whose only re
deeming feature was its big blue eyes,
so marred had it been by evil, was wait
ing. "We see th crape on th' door th other
day. Was it yer only one, missus?"' she
asked, coining to the point at once.
"My only one," replied the mother,
her eyes filling with the tears that were
always ready to rise. ,
"Ah, I'm that Kerry!" exclaimed the
woman, throwing up her arms. "It
must be the same, thin, as give th' flow
ers to my gurl K itj"
She brought from beneath her shawl a
soiled crush basket filled with faded
flowers, the white ribbons draggled and
dirty.
"Here it is, mum. It's the very same
yer little one give my Katy on Childern's
day in the church, fer my Katy follered
her home ter see where she lived. An
th' other day shetould me some one was
dead here, so I come to see, thinkin yer
might like this basket, 'cause it was th'
one she carried. But I want ter ask if
ye'll let me kape th' ribbon as was in
side. We found it when we was water
in th flowers."
She produv;d a white bpnd, forgotten
by the mother, but on wh.ch to please
her child she had printed hi gold letters
and tucked in with the flowers where it
would not be seen, boean.se it waa a
touch that the e ther children's basket s
did not have. On it were the words,
"An offering to God."
"It done me good, pail the woman
vehemently. "I ain't goin ter drink lvt
hurt my Ivaty any more, an I've 'begun
to kape things a bit tidier an mebbe git
time to go out washin. It's bin a-starin
at me from th' glass where Katy pinned
it, an I couldn't help doin dirTrent. An
when she telled me 'bout there bein some
trouble here I had ter come. I knowed
if 'twas her yer'el like the basket, 'cause
'twould put yer in mind o' the good she
done."
For answer the weeping mother held
out the bit of ribbon, which the woman
took in her 6odden fingers.
"God bless yer, ma'am," she exclaimed
with difficulty, "though I says it that
shouldn't."
Then she stole softly out, leaving tho
mourning mother holding the precious
basket closely ia her arms, as if it would
comfort her. And so indeed it elid.

ATTACKS OX CLEVELAND.
Some Details of the Tariff Bill Sensa
tions. A number of special dispatches to the
papers give some interesting points in
connection with the recent sensational
attacks on President Clevelant in con
nection with the consideration of the
tariff bill, as follows:
Sugar Trust's Control.
Washington, July 25. The sturdy re
fusal of Senator Vilas yesterday, when
beaeiged with appeals and entreaties in
long continued caucus, to withdraw his
motion against the one-eighth differen
tial on sugar left the situation as chaotic
today as it waa yesterday and necessi
tates the holding of another cau
cus this afternoon after a compara
tively early adjournment. The trad
ers and fixers, under Gorman's
lead, resolutely contended that the with
drawal of mat motion and the return of
the bill to conference without instruc
tions waa a condition precedent to the
entertainment of any hope of any tarill
legislation. Throughout this long drawn
controversy the dominance of the sugar
trust has been the Pike's peak in the
geography of the situation. In every
lorm of suggested compromise, in
ail the juggling wilh the pub
lic welfare, taere has never been a
time when the interests of this corpora
tion were not first abundantly cared for,
when its continuing power to take
tribute from the whole peoole was not
asserted as the essential condition to
which reformers ma-t yield assent. The
assault on the president, led by Gorm m
and his allies, was the crowning infamy
in the warfare it has " waged and tua
proof conclusive of its ownership of sen
ators of the United States.
A Imt Hie Impression Is.
The general impression is that some
sort of a bill will pass before a great
while, and that the president will sign it.
The number of these that assert ttiat it
will carry free raw materials is, while in
creasing, not nearly so large as the num
ber of those who believe that the bill
will carry reduced taxes on coal and iron
and 423:2 per cent ad valorem on sugar
about a differential.
Startling Developments Ahead.
The combine senators still stoutly de
clare that the adoption of Vilas's resolu
tion means the utter defeat of the bill,
but if current reports on the work of the
sugar investigating committee are a
tenth part true there may come any day
such astounding1 revelations of corrup
tion and established perjury on the part
of at least three combine senators as
might make them flee for very safety.
What They Say ut Haiti more.
Baltimore, July 25. Under the cap
tion "How the Truth Is Prevented Some
times," the Baltimore Sun said today
editorially:
"The charges against the president
and the hints and innuendoes which have
been made in the senate are all the
more dastardly because his position
scarely permits him to protect himself.
It will not do for the president of
the United States to bandy words with
senators. It is just as well to state a few
facts as they are given b3' those who are
intimate with the circumstances. One
day last week a personal friend of Sen
ator Gorman asked the president to
send for Senator Gorman and talk
to him about the tariff bill, assur
ing him that it was his convic
tion that such an interview would go far
toward settling the tariff deadlock. The
gentleman who made this request of tho
president was so close to Mr. Gorman
that he had every reason to believe that
the request came from the senator him
self. After some hesitation Mr. Cleve
land wrote a note to Mr. Gorman asking
him to come and see him and Mr. Gor
man came. The interview instead of
being stormy, as was asserted, was as
calm and quiet as possible.
The heroics of Mr. Gorman in declar
ing that nothing but sudden death could
prevent him making his 6peech against
the president elid not occur. The presi
dent did not request him not to make the
speech, nor did the senator give Mr.
Cleveland any idea of the character of
the speech he waa going to make, telling
him only that he was going to make a
brief statement of facts. No one was
more surprised at the tenor of the speech
than Mr. Cleveland.
But more than anything else the pres
ident was astonished at the conduct of
the senators upon whom -Mr. Gorman
called for corroboration. In their re
marks in the senate they sought to make
it appear that the president had aband
oned his advocacy of free iron and coal.
Whatever was done by the president
in this connection was done at the earn
est solicitation of ".he senators named.
Mr. Cleveland did not lay so much stress
upon the form of the bill as it passed the
senate. He was assured, and he believed,
that defects would be cured in the con
ference committee. It was the presi
dent's earnest desire all along to get the
bill away from the senate, where there
was danger that it would be throttled,
and into the conference committee, and
to assist in this he was urged by the cor
roborating senators. The astonishment
of the president, therefore, can be
imagined when the senators tried upon
the floor of the senate to try to have it
appear that he had abandoned his prin
ciples. BLASTING TI1E CORN.

Omaha, Neb., July 26. A unprecedent

EWS OF KANSAS.
A Salina Farmer Couldn't Tell
Liquor Nor His Own Name.
He is Now Arrested for Perjury
on Nine Counts.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
H. C. Solomon Chosen by First
District Democrats.
Salina, July 26. James A Hinckley,
a farmer living out ou the Saline, has
been arrested for perjury and is now try
ing to get $1,000 bond for his appearance
Tuesday. Hinckley was one of the wit
nesses for the state in the recent trial of
Pat Galvin, charged with selling liquor,
and his testimony was of a most remark
able character. He testified under oath
that he didn't know whether he had ever
bought any liquor of Galviu or not; he
could not state positively how old he was,
where he lived, what state or country he
lived in, and iastly, but not least, he swore
positively that he didn't know his name.
In order to make the matter even more
comprehensive the witness was asked if
there was anything under tha sun he did
know, and he replied, "I don't know
whether there is or not." In fact, Hinck
ley's answers were an evidence of the
fact that he didn't intend to testify against
Galvin, and he carried his 'Iojs of
memory" racket to sucli an extent that
he is novv suffering a temporary loss of
personal liberty. The complaint charges
Hinckley with nine separate and distinct
perjuries, that is to say, nine lies under
oath.
This case is of more than usual inter
est from the fact that it is the first of its
kind perhaps in the entire state.
Hinckley is in a very tight position.
Last June he was called before Judge
Lovitt and testified that he hail bought
both whisky and beer of Galvin; this
testimony waa taken down, and when
Hinckl9y was confronted with it in Judge
Lamkin's court, he swore positively that
he couldn't remember anything about it.
The charge arraigns him for testify
ing "feloniously, willfully, corruptly
and falsely before the court and jury."
The charge is repeated nine times. The
penalty for the offense of perjury is im
prisonment in the penitentiary for a term
of not less than seven years.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK AT CASET.
A Loud Report Followed By the Trem
bling of the Kartb.
Caney, July 26. What was apparent
ly a decided shock of earthquake has
been felt at this place. A loud report
apparently four or five miles away in the
southwest was heard, and this was imme
diately followed by a very sensible trem
bling of the earth, accompanied by the
rattling of dishes and other phenomena
attending slight earthquakes.
The noise was heard by nearly every
one and generally located in the south
west although a few people thought it
came from the northeast. The circum
stances of the shock were very much
like those attending the Coffeyville ex
plosion, and may have been due to the
same cause.

jumped up suddenly and in some way
the revolver was discharged.
The ball struck him in the abdomen
and just over the bladder, ranging up

puncturing any of the vital organs. The
wound is not thought to be fatal.

A RELIGIOUS (JUAIiUEL
Catholics and Protestants Have Trouble
Over New Jersey's School I.w.
South Amboy, N. J., July 20. Much
ill feeling has been engendered here by
the sche'ol election. The election was
the first held under the new law, and a
full board was elected. The trouble has
grown out of the action of tho priest in
charge of St, Mary's Roman Catholic
church, who, it is said, ordered the
women of his parish to voto for the can
didates of their religious faith.
The Protestants knew nothing of this
until the women began to vote in large
numbers always four in a squad. For
the rest of the time the polls remained
open there was lively work on the part
of the Protestants to overcome the ad
vantage obtained by the Catholics.
It was too late, however, when the
work of the Protestants commenced to
avail them much. The count showed
that the Catholics had elected six out of
nine trustees.
