to the lookup. When near that institution

heels up Third street on the keen bound.
Officer Mccarthy had followed the two, keep
ing short distance in the rear, but as soon as
he saw Jack start he started in pursuit Dan
says he put in his best jumps, but all to no
use. Jack was ahead and meant to keep So
Nc thought to bring him to a halt with his
revolver. So he fired three shots, but they
only made the fugitive run the faster. The
race was finally brought to an end by Mr..
Berry hearing the racket. He soon took in the
situation and halted poor Jack and held him
until the officers came up and relieved him of
his charge, who was soon back in his old
quarters. The firing caused q large number
of people to assemble along on the sidewalk
curious to learn what the trouble was, or if a
murder had been committed.

John Bright. referring to his resignation,
stated he had nothing to explain or defend.
The sole reason of his retirement was
that he could not concur in the gov

for forty years held and taught
doctrines that he believed and he could not
consistently approve the proceedings at Alex

nations as well as individuals, and that the
proceedings he disapproved of were violation
thereof and of International laws. If he had
not sooner retired it was because of his high
regard for Gladstone and his other colleagues

KNIGHTS OF PYTHTAS.
The Coming Gathering In tbs City this
Week.

Surely the fame Of st. Paul as great plea
snre resort has spread throughout the land,
and they are coming "from the north and
from the south, from the east and from the
west,' to view its goodly heritage and enjoy
a season Of pleasure and profit. They come
singly and by the score, and occasionally by
the hundreds. OF this latter class is the
grand excursion OF the Knights of Pythias,
their families and friends, of Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois and Min
nesota, who are expected to arrive in the city
to-day and to morrow. While this excursion
is gotten up under the auspices of the order
of the Knights OF Pythias they do not come
in any formal manner but simply as tourists
bent upon pleasure and to see the capital city
of Minnesota and it's surroundings. Like o
number of other excursion parties that have
visited st. Paul this year the members of this
one propose to make this city their temporary
abiding place and from this point branch out
to the numerous lakes and other points of in
terest in Its vicinity. The most of the party
will remain two or three days. A few of the
party arrived last evening but the
large majority will arrive to
day and tomorrow morning.
In expectation of their arrival, Champion
Lodge No. Is, of this city, have made all the
aTTanRt0euGS possible TO receive Inelr QlS-
tinguished brethren and aid in making their
visit pleasant as possible. Their arrangements
contemplate meeting the Red Wing and Still
water lodges and other guests at the union
depot on Thursday, where dinner will be
served. At p. IN. procession will be
formed at Market hall and march up Seventh
street to the Seven Corners, down Third street
to Jackson, up jackson to Seventh and thence
to Market hall, where they will disband. The
procession will be under the command of
Chief Weber as marshal of the day, and will
be lead by the Great Union band.
At p. IN. in the evening there will be re-
union at Market hall lat which the assemblage
will be addressed by Governor Hubbard,
Mayor Rice and others, after which will fol.
low dance. 1t is expected that the lodges
from Anoka and Minneapolis will also be
present.
Up to last evening it was not known how
many would be present from abroad, although
it is expected that nearly 1900 persons will
have to be looked after. There will be no
difficulty about feeding them, but there may
be some question as to how they will be
lodged. Champion lodge is doing all that can
be done to look after the comfort of st. Paul's
visitors.

Tie Sefi0Je.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The petition of the
Guiteau jurors asking an allowance of S. per
day, was referred, and the senate voted, yeas
80; nays 20, to go into executive session. The
executive session terminated at 4:55, when the
doors were opened and Senator Allison moved
the consideration of the house joint resolu-
ton continuing until July 81 the resolution
OF Jnne 80, providing temporarily for the ex-
penditures of the government. Upon the
suggestion of Senator Garland the joint reso-
luton was referred to the committee on az
preparations.
On motion OF Senator Sherman the tax bill
was taken up and motion to adjourn was de-
feated by party vote, the Republicans voting
no. The question was upou Senator Beck e
amendment reducing the tax on manufactured
tobacco TO ten cents per pound, to take elect
July 1, 1883.
Senator Ingalls, said he would favor re.
duction to IL cents, and Senator Beck modified
his amendment accordingly.
Senator Logan read telegram from the to-
bacco manufacturers Of Quincy, ILL.,, who he
said employed about 1900 hands, complaining
that the agitation is hurting them, and asking
that the tax be taken off entirely or allowed
some change. He then read kilograms from
manufacturers and wholesale tobacco and
cigar dealers OF Chicago protesting against q
reduction as not required by the trade or con-
sumers. Senator Cameron wis., read pro-
tests against the reduction from the two
largest tobacco manufacturers OF Milwaukee,
who represented that the proposed change
January LIST would be ruinou5 to the trade
generally. Similar kilograms were read by
Senator Dawes from an association OF Massa-
chusetts manufacturers, and by Senator Con-
gross from Detroit firms.
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, also read one
from large dealers and merchants OF New Or
leans, detailing the necessity for rebate
on cigars, cigarettes and tobacco on hand.
He said that notwithstanding he had laid be-
fore them these communications, the finance
committee had stricken out the provlSo for a
rebate in the bill as it came from the house.
Senator Allison regarded the matter of re-
bate a wholly impracticable thing, as 10 all
reduction of taxes it was practically impoB-
sible to carry out, therefore the uniform prac-
some time in the future.
Senator Beck said every change Of taxation
was accompanied by concerted effort for
rebate by the parties having stock on hand.
The other day the patent medicine men, then
the match men united for this purpose.
Everybody wanted q rebate. If the practice
were adopted we should Lave rebates for ten
years. His amendment avoided doing iDjus-
tice, as far as possible, by postponing the re-
duction until January L.
Senator Farley read telegram from a Cali
fornla dealer asking rebate if the clause of
The house bill be retained, and without action
the senate adjourned
