was Republican. The Senate at that
time was Republican. The tariff bill
then went to the house. The political
complexion of the House was as follows:
Republicans 1852, Democrats 1879, Green
hackers 10, Readjusters 2.
In order to secure consideration OF
the tariff bill it became necessary to
change the rules of the House. Mr..
Reid, of Maine, Republican, therefore,
On February 26, 1883, reported and call
ed up the following rule:
During the remainder Of this session
it shall be in order at any time to sus-
pend the rules, which motion shall be
decided by majority vote, or take from
the Speakers table House bill No. 55333,
with the Senate amendments thereto,
entitled "A bill to reduce internal rev.
enue taxation
/ This was the tariff bill reducing the
duties on sugar, etc., which had passed
the Senate. The House agreed to con-
slider the motion by party vote. Mi.
Kelly, Republican from Pennsylvania,
then moved to suspend the rules and
take up the bill, and the motion was
agreed to by 146 yeas to iii nays. Ot
the 1916 yeas 1873 were Republicans.
Among the yeas were Calkins of In
diana, now Republican candidate for
Governor of that State, and Darran of
Louisiana, Republican. Not one Re-
publican voted nay. The final vote in
each House on the tariff bill was as fol-
lows: In favor passing the bill:
Senate-Yeas 80, nays 81. There was
but one Democrat who voted aye, viz :
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, and there
was but one Republican who voted nay,
viz: Cameron, of Pennsylvania Kel-
logg voted for the passage of the bill.
House-In favor of the passing of the
bill: Yeas 152, nays 116. But 10 Dem
ocrats voted yea and but Il Republicans
voted nay. Chester B. Darrall failed to
vote.
You will perceive by this official rec
ord that on every occasion the sugar in
terests of Louisiana have been injured
by congressional legislation, the meas
ure has been originated by the Republi-
cans and opposed by the Democrats,
and that both Blaine and Logan are on
record by votes and speeches in favor
Of free sugar, and where that question
was not up they favored heavy reduc-
ton of the duties. The Mexican treaty,
which admits sugar free of duty, is the
work of the Republican party. The
bill to give this treaty force and effect
has not been considered yet by the
Democratic House.
Very respectfully,

Thursday. and was one of the most eX-

streets. The noise and confusion was
such that the police demonstrated out

were being carried to the station-house'

One man was shot and slightly injured,

THE TROUBLE AT ANNAPOLIS.
A Cadet Who Says the Affair Was of a
Personal Nature.

A Cadet Who Says the Affair Was of a
Personal Nature.
y cadet who was an eyewitness to the
whole affair at the Naval Academy in
Annapolis, on Saturday last, says: 1.-The
quarrel was a private one between a first
class man and a fourth class man. The
first class man reached out to take hold
of the fourth class man, when the latter
struck him twice with a skate, afterwards
running into dark room and striking at
everybody that approached him. The
skates were taken from him and he was
led into the corridor to have it out, but he
darted down the stairs and ran away, moth
ing more being seen Of him until supper.
On leaving the mess hall a first class man
stopped him and told him he supposed he
was ready TO 90 to one of the upper floors,
away from the officer in charge, and give
satisfaction to the man he so cOwardly
struck. He refused, and began to strike
out at the men around, who took hold OF
him to carry him to the first floor to fight
out the quarrel. The scuffle attracted the
attention Of the officer in charge, and all
present dispersed. Cadet Craig was
assured that he should have always
fair play and only one to fight,
and that one the man he had al
ready hit, who is 10 pounds lighter than
he. The statement that anyone else was
hurt except the party struck with the
skates, is entirely incorrect. There was
no hazing connected with this difficulty
whatever

Are You Going to Kiss Me -


If ever I go into a new locality again
will study up my geography better than
l did this time; for my ignorance got me
into a most uncomfortable position. AS
the boat neared Sanford | was standing
with others on the deck, when a very
pretty young lady came up to me, and,
with a sweet smile on her face, looked
into mine with pair of lovely eyes, and
asked: Are you going to kiss me, STRIP
If some one had offered to lend me $40
could not have been more surprised, and
hardly knowing what to say, and in order
to gain a little time, / gasped out, "Par-
don, Miss, what did you askw /
felt that she knew | heard her, but
she said sweetly. ''Are you going to kiss
me, to-nightg3 There was no misunder-
standing her this time. l heard her, and
so did others, and felt the blood rushing
into my face, and l stammered out: Il
would like to accommodate you, miss;
would truly; but / have wife and thir-
teen small children on board with me,
and it my wife should see me kissing
you" "Kissing me, you hateful old
thing! Who asked you to kiss me?' "You
did," l yelled; ''yOu asked me twieep
"You old fool, l asked you if you were go
ing to Kissimmee City-Kissimmee City
tonight; don't you know anything?" and
off she went, and if ever anybody felt
meaner than l did / would like to ex-
change photographs with him.

PERSONS WHO LIVE ON RAIL
ROADS.
Steady Travellers Thoroughly Equipped
and Perfectly at Home.

Steady Travellers Thoroughly Equipped
and Perfectly at Home.
There is a distinct railroad population,
says the New York San, that is constant
" growing. 1t is composed Of CONNER
cial travellers, lecturers, show agents, ac-
tors and actresses. They eat more meals
in hotel cars and railroad meal stations
than they do at home or in hotels. They
spend more nights in sleeping car hunks
than in beds. To a person who travels
only occasionally it is interesting to note
how thoroughly equipped these profess
sional journeyers are. Upon entering
sleeping ear early in the evening, for in
stance, they remove their shoes and put
on slippers, hang their hats up and don
silk travelling caps, take OF their coats
and pat on short sack coats er smoking
jackets.
In the morning, when the occasional
traveller, obliged to wear the only cloth
ing he has brought, goes to the toilet CON-
partment in his coat and vest, and thus
struggles in an effort to cleanse his skin
without soaping his sleeves or his coat
collar, these professionals again excite
his envy. They come along all smiles,
having slept well, and feeling perfectly at
home. They hang up their smoking JAG
kets and display snowy white robes, or
namented with col0red binding and braid
and capable of being thrown open at the
neck and rolled up above the elbows.
From a pocket in the suspended jacket
one produces an ivory backed brush and
costly comb, tooth brush, and perhaps a
nickel-plated soap box. Another opens
out a prettily embroidered receptacle,
composed of,many folds, each one peck
ct and each one labeled. In these peck
cts are a comb, brush, tooth brush.
shaving brush, soap box, pair Of razor
cases, nail brush, whisk broom, hand
glass and cologne bottle. e.as
Their familiarity with their surround
in S is as noticeable part of their equip
ment. 4 glance out Of the car window
is almost certain to reveal to them their
whereabouts when they arise or when
they are walked up, or are about to go to
bed. They carry time tables in their
heads, and give good advice as to which
station has the best caterer. They are
sociable and democratic. Four men who
never saw one another before meet in a
smoking compartment and know all about
one another in an hour. The news in the
papers takes on a new interest when they
discuss it, because they seem to know
great deal about all parts of the country,
and to have many acquaintance in all
the big cities. They appear to read all
is most apt to have it and TO serve it at
tractively wherever the train stops long
enough for the newsb0ys to board it.

The New York uaritims Register dis
cusses in its last issue the causes Of fires

ground that II Is about impossible to

other source Of danger. The Register

fires. and expresses the opinion that there
may be causes that have not been sus-
pected. In order that the real causes Of

Tunneling Under Difficulties.
Nel0 York Ietegr7ar.

y eW l0FE letcIF4fFs
A curious narrative of difficult engi-
neering comes to US from France. 1t APP
naars that the railroad from MOntauban
fo Rriye being authorized to run a tunnel
through the Mont des Cabanes, a distance
of a mile and half (Sl4 metres) the
workmen successfully pierced through all
of the distance but eight metres (26 feet }
during the year 1881. The two years
which have elapsed since that time have
been occupied in effectual efforts to pene-
trate the small distance remaining; inef-
fect1aI on account of the constant depos-
its of moistened earth, sort of red phOs-
phate. which is renewed as last as 1t is re-
moved. though fifteen tons per hour have
been taken away during the two years.
The material appears inexhaustible, and
engineers from different parts of Europe
have. after careful inspection, given their
oDlnion that the task Of completing the
tunnel is impossible. The pillars which
are used for supporting the roof of the
tunnel have to be constantly renewed, as
they become twisted and bent from the
heavy load upon them, this even being
the case with metallic columns. Several
persons have been killed during the pro-
9ress of the work. and large number in
5nred. Altogether the title given to the
work of lie Tunnel lnternaPs would not
seem to be misplaced. The cost OF remov-
ING the mud of the recalcltrant twenty
six metres has already amounted 10 d
800. 900 francs, and it is impossible TO estl-
mate anything as 10 the future OF this
enterprise,
