From present indications there will be a

All of the courts of the District of

THE PENALTY OF SUCCESS.
I want everybody in this city who have
no piano and who even coutemplate uet
ting one within next live years, to come
here now, 208 Jefferson street, and secure
one of these elegant Kimballs. See just
what can be done for a small amount
when you step in between the enormous
expenses and profits accruing on a piano
sale all the way down the line from the
"commission friend" to the factory that
built it. In buying a piano at this sale
you buy it of the largest factory In the
world and at a time when they are wil?
ling to give it to you (it being a portion
of uheir suplus or over-production at a
price even below that paid by their own
agents) and beyond which there is no
profit. The buyers at this sale simply
step in on the "ground floor" and shut
out all profits. Let no insinuations from
those who are not in a position to com?
pete mislead you. The penalty of success
is to have its methods condemned by
those who cannot compete. The sample
pianos now in stock will be closed out
this week. C. JELLISON,
Special Agent.

; ANOTHER MESSAGE.
Recommending Indemnity for Italians
Lynched in Louisiana.
Washington, May 4.?President Mc?
Kinley to-day sent to Congress a message
concerning the lynching of three Italians
at Hahnville, La., ou the night of
August 8, 1800, named Salvatore Arena,
Giuseppe Venturella and Lorenza Sole
ridono. He recommends an appropriation
for the heirs of the persons without ad?
mitting the liability of the United States
in the premises.
The message, is accompanied by papers
from the Secretary of State. He reviews
the events when the lynching occurred.
Tho agent of the State Department who
was sent to Louisiana reported that one
of the men, Solaridino, hail resided in
Louisiana twelve years, and had voted;
Arena fi .-e years and had made a declara?
tion of his intention of becoming a citi?
zen, and Venture]la three years also had
had been a voter. Mr. Sherman says the
Italian ambassador promptly informed
this government that the lynched men
were Italian subjects and eutitled to the
protection of the king of Italy. The gov?
ernor of Louisiana has not been able to
present proof that tho men lynched had
actually voted, though it was believed
they had. He says the case was similar
to the lynching in New Orleans in 1^91.
Without ."acknowledging the legHl lia?
bilities of persons lynched, Congress had
appropriated money for the indemnity of
persons so lynched. The Secretary
recommends that ifti,000 be appropriated
to be distributed by the Italian go\ em?
inent among the heirs of the persons.

AN INTERCHANGE OF |6HARP
WORDS AT THE SENATE SES?
SION?THE SOUTH CAROLINA
SENATOR ENTERS A DEBATE IN
A MOST CHARACTERISTIC
FASHION AND RUFFLES SENA?
TOR MORGAN'S USUALLY
PLACID TEMPER
Washington, May 4.?A lively ex
chnngo of compliments between Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, and Senator Til!
man, of South Carolina, marked the ses?
sion of the Senate yesterday afternoon
The free homestead bill was under con?
sideration,and an amendment was offered
by Mr. Morgan giving all public lands
not taken up by the homestead entry on
January 1, 18i)l), to the several States and
Territories for educational purposes.
Considerable opposition was at once man?
ifested, Mr. Tillman being especially ear?
nest. He advanced down the middle aisle
until abreast of Mr. Morgan, and then in
his characteristic explosive style, with
an index linger aimed at the Alabama
Senator, began firing a volley of ques?
tions on the justice of giving all the gov?
ernment lands to land States,thus depriv?
ing the other States of Federal aid to ed?
ucation.
"Don't von suppose." said Mr. Till?
man, "that we have as many poor chil?
dren needing education as you have, and
as a matter of decency do you propose to
gobble up all these lauds:-"
"lam not a gobbler," returned Mr.
Morgan, "so that the rules applying to
gobblers do not apply to me."
Mr. Tillmau insisted that the Morgan
proposition meant that one class of States
was to gobble np all the lands. He added
that his State had already done much for
Mr. Morgan's State, peopling it and re?
deeming it from tho Indians.
",'f so," replied Mr. Morgan, with a
touch of sarcasm, "I am willing to vor?
to return to Smith Carolina all the peo?
ple she ever gave, to Alabama."
"I have never heard it insinuated they
were not respectable people," said Mr.
Tillman.
"Respectable and poor," observed Mr.
Morgan.
"Yes, poor, God knows," continued
Mr. Tillman, "and because we are poor
we protest against your stealing what
they have left."
For the first time Mr. Momun showed
signs of irritation,and turning to the pre?
siding officer, Mr. Mantle being tempora?
rily in the chair, he protested against the
use of the words "gobble" and "steal?
ing." Without waiting for a ruling
from the chair, the colloquy proceeded.
"If it is not stealing it is very much
akin to it," remarked Mr. Tillman.
Mr. Morgan said it was not surprising
to hear of "stealing" from a Benator who
had proposed to relieve bis State from
the Fedenl taxes on liquor.
"We have 'made the liquor laws of
South Carolina so as to benefit the poor,
educate the children, reduce drunken?
ness one-half, and shut up every barroom
in the State," responded Mr. Tillman.
He added that he would later discuss the
South Carolina liquor law, showing how
it could be well applied toother States.
Mr. Morgan, somewhat ruffled, said he
would not have entered upon this subject
if he had thought it would leail the Sen?
ator (Tillman* Into such an intoxicating
strain. He insisted, he said, on the or
derly conduct of the business of the Sen
ace, and he was not to be taken off his
feet by intrusions.
"There was no purpose to take the Sen?
ator off hir feet," asserted Mr. Tillman.
"I have been here a long time," con?
tinued Mr. Morgan, "and this is the first
time a Senator had attempted to take :ne
off my feet by remarks personally offen?
sive, even though uttered in a spirit of
levity and band!nage."
After Mr. Morgan had discussed the
merits of his amendment, Mr. TiUmii"
secured the floor and disclaimed any pur?
pose to speak flippantly or discourteously
to Mr. Morgan, or to take him off his
feet. This closed the incident,which had
been followed with much interest by Sen?
ators and spectators.
Mr. Morgan finally withdrew his
amendment, in order not to embarrass
the bill.
An agreement was then reached that a
final vote on the bill be taken at 0 n. m.
to morrow and the Senate adjourned.

At this inte, according to I.a Lucha, it
will soon come to pass that no one will
know the real value of a piece of paper

procure the necessities of life, in spite of
the government assurances that its

GERMANY FOR AMERICAN MAN?
UFACTURED PRODUCTS?HOPES
EXPRESSED FOR COMMERCIAL
TREATIES.
Washington, May 4.?United 'States
Consul Monoghnn, at Chemnitz, in a re?
port to the state Department, says that
Germany just now Is very much excited
about the proposed new tariff act for the
United States. Her hopes to extend and
increase her exports have been built on
other rates than those reported.
Reciprocity is regarded as the only way
in which to keep commerce within safe
and sure lines. Hopes are expressed that
commeicial treaties may Vie made be?
tween the United States and Germany,
but the consul feels that there is little
market there for our American manu?
factured products, and believes that were
our manufacturers to make half the
effort it\ Russia, South America and the
East that wculd be necessary in Germany
the returns would be five times as great.
Even natural products Germany would
not buy from us, could she get them as
cheap and gooiPolsewhere, says the con?
sul, who produces an array of figures to
show how our grain trade, once of large
proportions.has been turned by Germany
almost altogether over to Russia.
In conclusion, he earnestly enjoins
American manufacturers to patent their
machines and processes in Germany,
where our machines are now bought,
taken apart and successfully imitated.
Annual visits are made by German man
ulacturers to the United States to p'ck
up ideas. One man, the consul says, has
grown rich on one idea picked up in this
way, and has just sailed again to find
somethiug else.
