the intention of again jumping off the
Brooklyn bridge, but the police were
ready for him, and he got no further
than the toll box on the New York
side. He was arrested and taken be-
fore a Justice, who required that he
should furnish one thousand dollars
bonds or go to prison for three
months. AS he could not pro-
cure the amount required he was
taken to the prison, from which
he was released upon promise to
abandon his foolhardy pursuit. On
June 5, 1887, at half past one p. M,
Donovan jumped from London bridge
into the Thames, height of seventy
feet, going nnder to depth
of sixteen feet. He styled
this his Jubilee jump" Hunger
ford bridge, from which Dono-
van made his last jump, was built of
iron in 1868 for the Charing Cross rail-
way station. Foot passengers alone
cross. The structure is fifty feet high.

Larry" Donovan, the bridge
jumper" has at last paid the penalty
of his folly. He met his death by
jumping from HungerfOrd Bridge,
near Charing Cross, London.
Donovan was twenty-six years of
age, a New Yorker by birth and
unbroken residence. He was a
printer by trade, and up to 1886
worked steadily at his business.
His feat of jumping from the
Brooklyn Bridge, for a wager of five
hundred dollars, on August %, 1886,
made him a reputation by which he
profited but little. He hoped that the
proprietor Of a sporting newspaper on
which he was employed would set
him up in the liquor business. Fail
ing the fulfillment of this expectation
he reluctantly accepted an engage
ment at dime museum. His pride
soon sickened of that, and he gave it
up. On November Z, 1886. he dropped
from the new suspension bridge into
Niagara river, a distance of 1875 feet,
at seven a. m, for a wager of $500.
AS soon as he reappeared he was
picked up by two men, who had ac-
cOmpanied him from Buffalo. In ac-
complishng the feat he received sew
eral bruises, and his fourth rib on
the left side was separated from his
breastbOne. At o'clock in the morn
ing, February IS, 1887, he leaped into
the Schuylkill river from the Chest
nut street bridge at Philadelphia,
a distance of eighty-eight feet. On
April Is, 1887, Donovan started with

ANOTHER INTERVIEW.

WICHITA, KAN, March 3.-Speaker
Carlisle is here on a visit to his sick son.
Mr.. Carlisle never grants an interview
off-hand, but he has been induced to
answer few questions In writing. In
regard to the chances for tariff legisla-
tion by this Congress he says: ~ think
bill to reduce the tariff will be passed
during the present session of Congress.
A considerable number of articles, now
dutiable, will be placed on the free list,
and the rates will be reduced on many
Others. AS far as possible, under the
circumstances, taxes will be abolished
or reduced on raw materials used in
our manufacturing industries and on
the necessaries of life. Free raw ma
terials will greatly reduce the cost of
production and thus benefit the manu-
facturer and the labOrer as well as the
other consumers of manufactured
goods.
"If combinations and trusts could be
broken up and prohibited SO as to allow
the natural law of supply and demand
to compel free and fair competition in
the production and sale of commodi-
ties, free raw material, even without q
corresponding reduction of duty on the
finished product, would afford large
measure of relief to the people. 1t is
evident, however, that so long as q
high tariff is retained on finished arti-
cles these combinations, to limit the
amount of production and arbitrarily
maintain high prices, can not be pre-
sented, and therefore, free raw ma
terial would not, of itself, be sufficient.
When raw material is made free there
should be, also, reduction of duty on
the articles made from it, and this, /
think, will be the policy of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress.
"The principal contest will be over
the question of free wool and a cores
ponding reduction of taxes on woolen
goods, and these two changes alone, il
they can be made, will not only. give
the people cheaper clothing hereafter
but will reduce the revenue $l2,000,00
or $4,000, 900 per annum without in
jury to industry"
"Will there be reduction of interna
taxes?"
"There is no substantial reason, il
: my opinion, for the repeal of any par
of the tax on tobacco, but there is de
, mand for it in some parts of the coun
try, and it may be conceded as a com
promise.
, "The people need cheap food, cheal
clothing, cheap medicines, cheap books
cheap tools and implements to worl
with, much more than they need cheal
!. tobacco, cheap whisky or cheap beer
The Government must have revenue
and 1 believe the best way to raise it i
the imposing of taxes on luXuries pro
duced and consumed at home, leaving
. the real necessities as free from tax
: : alton as possible. Still, all Legislation
I is the result of compromise and conces
!. !. sion and am willing to agree to the re
7 peal of the tobacco tax if we can there
J by secure the necessary relief and re
form in the tariff"
: "Do you think the policy recon
II mended by the President will b
adopted?"
# "Yes, I think the general polio
! recommended in the message will b
i pursued"

WHAT HE THINKS OF MIR. MILLS
BILL.
He Says He Favors it, and Believes Il
Will Pass.
1t is Pronounced by Him a Very Con-
servative Measure.
Mr.. Carlisle Still ofthe Opinion Thai
Cleveland Will Be Renominated
-Blaine's Letter Createsa
Panic.

WICHITA, KAN, March 3.-The Hon.
John G.. Carlisle, who is in the city at
tending the bedside of his sick son, has
persistently refused to be interviewed
by any one till to-day, when he auto
graphed his replies to few of the
questions submitted to him as follows:
"What is your opinion of the Mills
tariff bill?"
ut is very conservative measure,
and ought to be passed. The existing
financial and industrial situation would
justify O much more radical measure
in some respects, but there are always
SO many differences of opinion about
details and so much apprehension
about the effects of proposed changes
in the rates of duty that it is impossi-
BILE to do exactly what ought to be
done.n
"You think, then, the measure is II
fair One?"
Eyes, this bill has been prepared
with great care, and know that it has
been the purpose of its trainers to deal
fairly and literally with any interest
affected by it. There has been no feel
ing of hostility to the capital or labor
employed in manufacturing industries,
and and the }, bill, if passed. will not hurt
I'm what way will it help capital and
labor?'
"Wool, flax, hemp, jute, dye-stuffs
and many other raw materials are
placed upon the free list, and this will
largely reduce the cost of production
without reducing the labor wages. The
consumer will thus be enabled to get
cheaper goods while the manufacturer
will realize ample profits, and the
laborer will continue to receive the
same or higher wages"
"What will be done with the bill:by
Congress?"
II think the bill will pass substantial
ly as reported"
what lift be defeated?"
"The Democratic party will then ap-
peal to the people on this question at
the next election, and, as Congress will
be chosen, that will reduce the revenue
much more than is now proposed"
"Who will be the nominees of the
two parties for President?'
M VI believe the denomination of Mr..
Cleveland as the Democratic candi-
date is foregone conclusion, and I
have entertained no other opinion for
more than year. There will be no
serious opposition to his nomination,
and his reelection is as certain as any
future event can be. 1t is too early yet
to make any predictions concerning
4 the Republican nominee. Mr.. Blaine's
Iletter has thrown the party into panic
and il will not recover for some tfme.n

Wilhelm l., Emperor of Germany,
occupied a position peculiar to himself
as the oldest ofreigning sovereigns and
the first ruler of reunited Germany.
He was born March %, 1897, and served
in the campaigns of 1913 and 1914
against Napoleon Bonaparte. On the
accession Of his brother Frederick
Wilhelm TO the crown of Prussia, in
1920, he was made Governor of fome-
rania. He afterwards sat in the Prus-
sian Diet, vigorously supporting the
Absolutist party. His consequent up
popularity obliged him to fly to Eng
land in 1S42, but he soon returned to
take a seat in the National Assembly.
In 1857 he was appointed Regent of
Prussia, owing to the insanity. of his
brother, and succeeded to the throne
on his brothers. death, January 2, 1881.
The King sternly resisted the Consti-
tional party controlling Parliament and
obstinately asserted the prerogative of
the sovereign. In this contest he was
ably supported by Bismarck, who be-
came Prime Minister September %,
1922. The reorganization of the army
was the Kings effective method of con-
solidating and preparing for the expan-
sion of his power. His minister sue
ceeded in turning public attention from
the constitutional questson by raising
Schleswig dispute in 1868 and forcing
Austria into the Danish war. The next
step was to drive Austria out of the
confederation and secure the leading
place among the German States for
Prussia. This was effected by the war
of 1866. The kingdom was now pre-
pared for the war with France, which
the growth of German power regarded
envjously by Napoleon III, and his
ministers made inevitable. The result
was the triumph of the German arms
and the re-establishment of the Ger.
man Empire. William was crowned
German Emperor at Versailles, Jan. IS
1871. The aged Emperor was the en-
bodiment of German unity, the per-
sonification of German nationality
This, with his irreproachable private
character, made him the most popular
of sovereigns.
The Emperor married June IL, 1929
Augusta, daughter of the late Crane
Duke Karl Friedrich, of Saxe-Wei
mer. who had by him one child besides
the CrOW1 ITlUCe rTleueIlCIl Wluelul

Tom Platt, of New York, is credited
with being keen politician; he is a
power enough to boss his party in the
Empire State. Speaking of the prob
able outcome at the Republican Nation
al Convention, Mr.. Platt says: "The
men who would have supported Mr.
Blaine will scatter among a dozen oil
more candidates. Each State will
bring into the convention its favorite
son. There will be from to 40 men
placed IN nomination, and, after ballot
ing for three or four days, some one
will move that James G. Blaine be
nominated by acclamation. The
motion will be carried with grea'
hurrah. Blaine will accept. Harrison
of Indiana, or Alger, of Michigan, will
Be placed on the ticket as Vice Presi
dent" This is an exceedingly probable
forecast.
