1t is hard matter to properly de-

night. There is so much tonote that
it is q difficult task to tell where to

we say that such sight was never

years, say that it surpassed every at

THE ILLL9MINATIoNs.
All'ofthe business houses on the
principle streets occupied by Demo-
caats were illuminated with candles,
and all along the line OF march the
residenc es were handsomely lighted
up. Every now and then Republi-
can house, as dark as EGYPTIAN
darkness, would be passed and the
cheers would be deafening. Some
Republicans even put out the usual
lights in their houses, 1t would be
impossible to mention any of the il
lnmlnatlons without referring to
scores Of them. Fhey were all pref
ty and in some few instances the
houses of Republicans were lighted
up as brilliantly as those Of their
Democratic neighbors. japanese
lanterns were hung about in the
yards and the Whole city looked like
some fairy land of song.

ST. Louis, Mo, May 6.--Last night
about 2;30 O'Clock the night clerk at the
Hotel Hunt heard groaning in the alley
east OF the hotel, and, going out to find
what caused the noise, discovered j. X.
Kirkup, guest Of the hotel and an ope&
ator at the Western Union Telegraph
Office, lying in the alley in an
unconscious condition. Sergeant Ryan
and another officer responded to a call for
aid, and, summoning an ambulance, had the
wounded man conveyed to the Dispen-
sary An examination by the surgeon
revealed the fact that the young mans
back was probably broken, and that he
was otherwise severely injured, so that
his recovery is beyond hope. The in
lured man was afterward conveyed to
the City Hospital. Kirkup has been
drinking heavily and came into the
hotel last night about midnight under
the influence of liquor. He was in a
quarrelsome mood and attempted
to get up row with the
barkeeper and the clerk until the
clerk told him that he must 90 to his
room or he would have him put out of
the hotel. kirkup went upstairs, his
room being on the third floor, and that
was the last seen of him until he was
found on the stone-payed alley in the con-
dtion described. He must have either
thrown himself or fallen from his window,
a distance of three stories. Kirkup is a
young man about twenty-five years of age
and is from Montreal, Canada. He has
been in the city five weeks.

What Next'
House.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May G.-The
reading OF the journal was quickly
concluded and the House went into com
mittee Of the whole for the last days gen
eral debate on the tariff bill. A large num-
Der OF absent members have returned and
the seats are more generally filed than at
any time since the early days Of the ses-
sion in December The galleries are
crowded and much interest is manifested
on the floor.
Mr, Brown (Of Pa was first recog-
nized and made speech favoring the pro-
tectlve system. He was followed by
Townshend (of H. in radical speech on
the other side
Mr.. Gibson (of W. Va said he would
sustain the bill, hoping it would be
amended by the House.
When Mr.. Randall rose the members
fairly rushed forward and surrounded his
desk,
Mr.. Taylor lof Ohio rose to a point of
order and said: "If all kept their seats
they could all hear but if permitted to
crowd around the orator, buta few would
be able TO hear.n The Chair required that
all be seated.
Mr.. Randall then proceeded amid I'M
usually good order. He opened with a
quotation from Lord Chatham, that
capital was timld of any legislation,
and that to destroy confidence
was not only blunder but crime
Great Britain, he said, had during the
late war sought every means to cripple
this country, and having failed, it now
sought to coax US into free trade. In her
avarice she held in her iron grip Gibraltar
and commanded the Suez Canal, while
she compelled millions of Chinese to
swallow her opium.
He denounced the constant tinkering
with the tariff, leaving approximations that
no tariff could last longer than from one
Congress to another. Such a course, he
declared, was murderous and suicidal.
He next proceeded to review the more
recent action of Congress on the tariff
he said that after the last change time
enough had not elapsed to ascer.
tain the results, or for the various indus.
tries TO accommodate themselves to it,
before new measure is proposed,
which, although impossible to pass, with
Republican Senate and a Republi-
can Executive, at the present
session, had caused much in.
quiry by its agitation. He criticised
the horizontal feature of the bill, and
declared its introduction was to produce
agitation for the sake of agitation, which
was universal 1t wasn't so much the
twenty per cent reduction as its prom
Use. 1t had been declared as a
step towards free trade. He quoted
Dorsheimer who said, of this didn't
.educe the revenue, it would cut to
the quick and draw blood If twenty
per cent does not answer | would re-
duce it fifty per cent"
