enough and broad enough IN his ideas to speak his
sentiments about sham economy.
"Yes," he replied "the same farce will he enacted
this session as for many sessions past. The House
will pass the appropriation bill making It's own esti
mates OF the needs of the Senate. Then the latter
body will add to the bill what 1t wants, and there
will he discussion in conference as to the Unequal

"Do you think" asked, "that each Senator
should be allowed private secretary to he be paid
out ofthe public Treasury"
"Undoubtedly they should" he replied with en-
phasis. "Many Senators have not only private

"The protection Democrats have practically cap

Congressional Committee. You Will see vigorous
pamphlet discussion OF the tariff question by the Re.
publicans, and the usual silence, 80 far as literature
is concerned ON the part of the Democrats, as TO the

the protected interests are always alive, and they
manage TO control the party machinery Of both or

FL Paso, Tex, February 3-The report
OF the commando officer of the Mexicans
who attacked Crawfords command, has
been published in the Eaado de ChehaQkas,
a newspaper which reached here to-day. 1t
states: "0n the 18th inst Mexicans CON-
batted great number of tame and wild
Indians, probably over two hundred, led
by forei n United States officers. Over
twenty s;ldiers and four Mexicans were
reported killed and four wounded. The
port also states they displayed no sign of
legality az was evinced as much by their
strategy as BY animals which they had, and
which i hold to prove they were stolen"
The report is dated from DeLare's Mining
Camp, January 20, and signed Perez. 1t
is believed the animals referred to in the
report are those captured from Indians
which the latter had probably stolen.

Bold Attempt of q Thief to Rob q

But a Clerk Grappled With Him
and Was Badly Hurt.


Kansas City, February 3.-One of the
boldest attempts at robbery ever known
here was made at 7:30 tonight in the
busiest part of the city. At that hour a
young man of ordinary appearance about
% years of age, entered the store of s. s
Baker, ieweler and diamond broker, on
Main street, near Sixth and asked to look
at diamonds. r. +. Mohr, who has charge
Of the place, took out tray of diamond
jewelry and put il on the show ease. The
stranger began looking them over, hen
rudely seized them with one hand reach
ing for revolver In his pocket
with the othsr. MOhr ran around the
counter and grappled with the thief, when
the latter felled him to the floor and struck
him three murderous blows with the heavy
end of tn revolver. A. NJ. Ohler, clerk,
by this time had secured a revolver and
when the stranger arose fired, without
effect, at him. The latter

deserted when the shooting occurred. The
