THE TARIFF BILL. THE PRESIDENT BETTER.
Dlscussingthe Wool Schedule
Vest’s Amendment.
Washington, Jane 13.—After the
morning hour the tariff discussion
waB resumed in the senate, the pend
ing question being Ptffer’s amend-ment
to restore 50 per cent, of the
duty on raw wools.
Mr. Sherman was recognized and
made a vigorous speech against free
wool.
At the conclasion of Sherman’s
speech Dubois, of Idaho, argued
the subject at considerable length
as did also Stewart of Nevada.
Senator Vest give notice of an
amendment to the income tax sec-tion
of the bill, which would exempt
from the operations of the tax all
fraternal and benevolent organiza-tions.
He said he believed the bill
as it now stood would do that, but
in order to make it perfectly plain
this amendment would be added.
It is possible that the steering
committee will ask the senate to re-main
in session nntil the wool
schedule is disposed of.
Matters at West.
West June 12.—The artesian
well was continued, even after a
large flow was secured, and now at
a depth of 1,680 feet the flow is
simply immense, the largest flow in
McLennan oounty, say the oontrao
tors. Just think of it!
Mrs. Dr. Wilie is lying amost at
death’s door. The whole town

Is Kept Quiet But Manages to
do Some Work
Washington, June 13.—It is
stated at the White House that the
president is better today. Dr
O’Reiley called today and soon
afterwards Dr. Bryant, the presi
dents physioian who had come from
New York, came to the White
House. After examining the patient
Dr. Bryant went to the nearest drug
store and oomponnded a prescrip-tion,
with which he returned to the
White House.
The president passed a good
night. Although he is still under
the injunction to keep perfectly
quiet, he managed to see a few vis
itors, without coming into his office
for the purpose, and has been en
gaged in some routine and easy
work.

Bruceville, June 12.—Crops
fine. If it keeps on raining and no
disaster befalls the orops there will
be no need of anybody’s going
hungry next year.
Messrs. Hatter and Tilley, of
Moody, were in town to see their
friends today.
Mr. Lowe, of Lorena, was over
to see Dr. G. B. Harris today, and
as they were seen in very close oon
versation and heard to mention
some important Populist schemes,
we suppose he was receving his or-ders
for the ooming fight for county
and precinct officers.
Mr. John Koefp is in town after
Dr. Valliant. He says a little negro
boy who lives about one mile from
town, was playing with a dynamite
cartridge which exploded and badly
lacerated his hand.

And the Fire is Returned—How the Great
Strike is Progressing.
N. B.
Just in
Charleston, W. Va., Jnne 13.—A
telegram received from Montgomery
today states that last night a party
of strikers on the mountain top
above the St. Clair mines fired on
the gnards there and the latter re-turned
the fire keeping up a hot
fusilade until the firing from the
strikers ceased. None of the guards
were injured, but it is not known
whether the strikers escaped injury.
Today a scouting party is in the
mountains after the attacking party.

Republican Clubs Must be
Either White or Black.
Fort Worth, June 13.—[Special]
In the convention of the State
League of Republican clubs this
morning, by a ruling of President
Roberson it was decided that no
member of a club composed of black
and white members was entitled to
recognition in this convention,
whereupon the members of mixed
olnbs pulled of their badges and left
the hall.
This emphasizes the defeat of
Cuney yesterday, and there is a
howl among his followers, who de-nounce
the white leaguers in un-measured
terms.
The league agrees for negroes to
organize striotly negro clubs, which
will be entitled to representation,
but this does not suit the blacks, as
they regard it as drawing the color
line and they therefore bolt the
whole thing.
THE PULLMAN STRIKE
The Soldiers on Guard.
Massilon, O., June 13.—The en-tire
disturbed district along the
tracks of the Cleveland, Loraine and
Wheeling and Cleveland, Canton
Southern roads was quiet last night,
and today there are no indications
of the presenoe of the men who are
said to possess a desire to blow up
the bridges. The soldiers on guard
along the Cleveland, Loraine and
Wheeling heard and saw but little
of the strikers. Reports come from
different posts that the miners
gathered around the soldiers and
hooted and jeered at them, but that
is all.
The Cleveland, Loraine and
Wheeling has a train on the side
track at the disposition of the
soldiers. A small guard was stoned
shortly before midnight, but no one
was injured.

At Manown.
Pittsburg, June 13.—No trouble
is reported at Manown. The train
of coal stopped by the strikers at
Monongahela yesterday was sent
through to Pittsburg during the
night. About forty men are work
ing in the mines under a guard of
deputies. The oompany has given
notice that the works will resume in
full Monday, at the Columbus rate,
and that the old men will be given
the preference.
Being Discussed by the Rail-way
Union Convention.
Chicago, June 13.—The Pull-man
strike was discussed at the con-vention
of the American Railway
Union today, receiving attention
from various speakers. Vice.-Presi-dent
Howard said: “The people
don’t believe that labor unions can
bankrupt corporations; but look at
David J. Mackey, of Indiana. He
was in charge of five railroads, and
now he has not a dollar. He re-fused
to treat with the labor unions
much the same as Pullman has done,
and Pullman is not so near heaven
that he cannot be pulled down.”
Husband and Wife BUI.
Louisville, Ky., Jnne 13.—The
most impoitant of the bills passed
by the late legislature, which be-came
effective today, is the “Hus-band
and Wife” bill. This bill
revolutionizes the property rights
of married women in this state, and
in effect makes every married wo
man a femme sole.
A Consulor Appointed.
Washington, June 13.—The
president today sent the following
nomination to the senate: To be
consul of the United States, John
B. Gorman, of Georgia, at Mata-moraB,
Mexico.
Coal Hauling Prohibited.
Ashland, Ky., June 13.—For
some time past the actions of the
strikers on the line of the Chesa
peake and Ohio railway have been
threatening, and lately they have
become so pionounoed that the
management has issued an order
prohibiting all coal hauling in that
section for the present.
Anxious to Settle.
Uniontown, Pa., June 13
Strong efforts will be made by some
of the strikers to have the scale
committee settle the strike by adopt
ing the Frick scale at their meeting
in Soottdale tomorrow. Many of
the strikers’ leaders have come to
believe that that will eventually be
the basis of settlement, and are
anxious to get the strike settled as
soon as possible. No trouble is re
ported today, though five oar loads
of negroes were brought here and
distributed among the Frick works
at Mount Pleasant. This oompany
is making a stronger and more sue
oessful effort to resume with im
ported men than any other company
His Journey Postponed.
Friedrichsruhe, June 13.—
Prince Bismarck’s journey to his
summer home at Yarsin has been
postponed for a few weeks. It is
said in explanation that the ex-chancellor
requires rest, but it is
added that his oondition is not such
as cause any anxiety.
