The Graham Murder i'm Missouri.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, June 23.-The case of the State against Mrs. Emma Motley, the noted evangelist and temperance re- former, has been terminated in the Circuit Court here, at least fort the present term, Judge Greeger, sustaining the motion previously filed and argued to quash both the indictments, one as accessory after the fact to the murder of Sarah Graham, and the other as accessory before the fact to the bigamous marriage of George E. Gra- ham and Cora F. Lee. After the decis- ions, Prosecuting Attorney Patterson filed information with the court that there is reasonable ground for believing that con- viction will be hard if new indictments be found and the court held the defendant in bonds of $500, and $500, to answer such indictments as may be found against her. Cora E. Lee, indicted for murder in the first degree, is still in jail at Bolivar, having not as yet come to trial.

 GLASGOW, Juno 23.-Mr. Gladstone ad- dressed an immense audience here Tues. day evening, and was received with fully as much enthusiasm as at Edinburgh He expressed himself as confident that Glas. goW would do good work for the Libera party at the coming elections. To-day, he said, he wouli give h:s attention to a part of the Irish question which he had not heretofore alluded to. namely, that part which peculiarly touched Scotland. He referred to the remarks of the famous Doctor Chalmers, who. so long ago as ISIS, spoke Of the impossibility of crush Ing the Irish people, and added that the almighty arm of Kindness would be irre- pressible
 These, said MT. G adstone, were words or high Christian wisdom. He asked his audience to approach the question in- spired by such sentiments. He wished to deal with three points-the security of the Protestants in Ulster, the arguments deduced from the Union of Scotland and England, and the question of home rule Scotland. Cheers He denied that for under the provisions of the bill Ireland would be an independent country There We're claus es hich forba6eireland to legis- ate for the establishment or endowment of a religion. The Parnellites had joyfully accep.ed these clauses and had always proved themselves fin favor of religious freedom.

SHE LEADS ALL WOMEN,
Mrs. Cleveland Has Naught to Learn
 of Social Amenities.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Exten nsiye hand shaking produces some queer results. Some curiosity was manifested as to how Mrs. Cleveland stood shaking hands with 1000 persons at the two receptions last week. She said to personal friend that she did not feel the slightest soreness in her right arm, but the next day her left arm, which she had not used at all pained her cruelty. This was exactly similar to Gen Grants experience, who said that after public reception he always suffered agonies in the left-the unused arm. It is explained by the inequality of the cir culation, which revenges itself next day.
 Mrs. Cleveland is a perfect picture of physical health, and her endurance last week, when she went through two recep- tions, visit to the Scheutzenfest, dinner and daily drive, without showing the slightest signs of fatigue, shows what kind of stuff she is made of. = She has adopted Miss Cleveland's sensible plan of seeing personal visitors on Tuesdays and Thurs days. from 12 to 1 o'clock. No woman ever in the White House so economically divided her time and accomplished so much with so little effort as Miss Cleve- land, and if Mrs. Cleveland adopts her predecessors hours. as she seems inclined to do, it will be the wisest thing she can do.
 Miss Ida Gregg, of Buffalo, an old schooA friend of the bride, is visiting the White House. Every afternoon, the huge landau with the long-tailed brown horses whirl out of the White House gate, the President sitting on the right hand back seat with Mrs. Cleveland by his side and Miss Gregg sitting alone on the front seat To outsiders it may look queer to see man occupying the post of honor, with woman, and she his guest in an inferior place, but it is one of those tradi- tional points of etiquette, like the Presi- dent being helped first at his own table, that he shall always take the right hand back seat In his carriage no matter who is with him. In these drives, the two girls seem to be necessarily chattering after the manner of their kind, while the President sits back with an amused smile on his somewhat stolid face evidently finding the conversation quite out of his depth as it were.

HEAVY FAILURE.
ks. H. Swift & Co.-LIabiI1fies About
 One Million.


 One Million. NEW YORK, June 23.-The suspension of the firm of H. H. Swift & Co.,, import CTS of sugars, at No. 66 Pine street. this city, and at Pernambuco, is one of the most important business failures that has taken place in a long time. It is stated that the liabilities are about $l,00O, 900, which is more than equalled by the assets of the firm.
 Thus far no assignment has been made and efforts are in progress to effect settle ment with the creditors and resume busi- ness at an early day. In the meantime the suspension is causing great excite ment in the entire sugar trade of the city, and the fear was expressed that other em- barrassments would follow here or else where. At any rate, if no additional failures take place, the embarrassment of II. H. Swift & Go. has created alarm which may continue for some time.
 The cause of suspension was the unex- pected changes which took place in the sugar market. Last year 1t was under stood that there was a shortage in the crops of beet and cane and buyers were made at high prices. The visible supply or raw sugar was comparatively small and it was not generally known that the invisible supply was large. Finally the holders of the invisible sugar came out and threw their stock upon the marker This naturally unsettled trade. Next came the strikes among the men employed in the great refineries in this country When work in the refneries was stopped there was 8 cessation in the demand for raw sugar Raw sugar declined still further in value.
 Some of the creditors are making an effort to sett e, and it is said that H. H. Swift 6 Co. may be able to resume busi- ness soon.

Look at it ahe Other Way.

The people are not all fools. A combi nation of employees is no more conspiracy than combination of employers. If those who conspired to boycott bakery in New York are to be punished for injuring one woman's business, then the combina- tion of capitalists at Troy who have locked out ten thousand women from the shirt factories for no cause whatever except that the women of one small mill had struck, should be hauled before court of justice. This combination at Troy has injured the business of many thousands more people than the boycotters of Mrs. Gray's bakery. If those who induced peo- pie to forbear riding on the Third Avenue Railroad in this city can be arrested for in turing a corporation's business, what about the syndicate of coal dealers who recently met and conspired to raise the price of coal some fifty cents ton?
 This cry of conspiracy and treason to American principles is not entirely one sided. If we are to have laws putting down agitation of labor questions and ''incen- diary'' utterances, let Us have laws putting down conspiracies to lock out thousands of workers, and conspiracies to raise the price of the necessaries of civilized life.-Truth Seeker.

On leaving the house he was seized by eight men and carried to the woods, where, after being shaved and having his hair cut very close, he was given twelve lashes by each of the eight men who took him to the woods.

THE TARIFF FIGHT.

WASHINGTON. June 23.-The fight o,
 the tariff is taking an interesting and un
 expected shape. On Thursday las
 nearly everybody took it for granted tha
 the whole subject had been turned out o
 court for the season, and at last night.
 caucus the Morrison men thought that
 the best thing would be to do nothing fur
 ther. But now the startling announce
 ment that MT. Randall proposes to bring in 8 tariff bill ot his own has set the whole house by the ears again, and it seems eyi dent that the fight instead of being over. has only just begun
 Whatever MT. Randall's motive may be, It is certain that the introduction of his bill will have the effect of precipitat- ing general debate on the tariff and the probable result ultimately of the pas sage of some kind of a conglomerate bill by the house. and a bad break up of both parties before the end is reached.
 The Randall bill is ready for presenta- tion and is at this moment in the copyist's hands. It's author said he shall not pre- sent it at once and he does not know when the proper time for presenting it will ar- rive. He holds it in readiness for any contingency that may arrive, and in all probability it will see the light very soon. It may be held back to antagonlze the Morrison bill, as it has already But MT. Morrison will not fulfil his promise to call up his bill and if he should continue Lis policy of silence Mir. Randall will act without waiting much longer. His new measure will be accompanied by an elaborate explanatory report, and it is expected that it will be framed to meet the views on the tariff that are held by the moderate men of both parties.
 MT. Randall says that he has taken this action because 1t seems to him duty to the country to forward rational revision of the tariff and to checkmate the irra- tional proceedings Of the free-traders The new bill, he says, is not confined to the internal taxes, which 1t proposes to reduce by about S25OOO,O00, but it also proposes an aggregate reduction of about SIG, 900, 900 in duties. The great metal in- dustries of the country will not be d1s- turbed as rule. In steel rails there will be 8 slight reduction. Wool will not be made free, but will be put in the same category with wcrsteds, and will be sched- uled in manner satisfactory to the great wool interests. There will be no increase in the free list. Few changes will be made in the present rates of duties except where they have been suggested by ex- perts. This, he says, will be practical bill, and will also have certain provisions of reform In administrative methods. Cov- ering in general tho ground traversed by the Hewitt plan, it will tend to equalize duties and correct many incongruities of the present statute. In the silk schedule an important change is proposed by adopt.

Pension Lobbyl... Di.gu.ted.


 WASHINGTON, June 23-The batch of Presidential yetoes have created great consterpation among interested parties. It seems that in the case of good many private pension bills 8 contingent fee has been allowed to considerable amount to attorneys for pushing the claims. These pension bills are easier to put through than any other class of 1egislation, simply from the fact that members do not like to be put in the attitude of opposing pen sions. In the Senate no attention what ever is usually paid to the bills after they have left the committee In this way it is very easy to get 8 pension bill through if its promoters can persuade the proper parties to take hold of it in 10th houses This fact has encouraged lobby here, who have taken these pensions on con- tingent fee of 50 to 25 per cent. Some of them amount to from $1O, 900 to $15, 900. With contingent fee of half that amount the lobbyist can make more on the quiet than by urging the biggest jobs that were ever before Congress, and with some pro- mise of realizing on his labor. Quite a number of these bills have been thus pushed through Congress, and the kick ing because of the Presidents vetoes is not confined to the legal pensioner. With rare tact the President seems to have struck III the right place every time, smashing some of the most transparent of these schemes in the head.
