A Combine Against the Mills Bill.


WASHINGTON, July 2l.-An i'm
portant conference has been held with
in day or two by half dozen or more
of Mr.. Randalrs old followers, upon the
question Of the vote to be cast by them
on the tariff bill to-day. After con-
siderable elaboration it WAS decided
that each member should be left free to
vote for the bill or to refrain from vOt-
ing as he might see fit. This action
was taken IN order TO relieve from en-
barrassment any who might desire to
cast their ballots in favor of the bill
in conformity with the solicitation of
their colleagues. Mr.. FOran then IN
folded plan which he has for some
time been maturing in case the Mills
bill shall not reach a conference COM
mittee and there shall in consequence
be no chance of its becoming a law,
even in an amended form. 1t is pro-
posed to examine very closely the re-
sent to the house from the
senate. Should this embrace
the features for which they have been
working, Mr.. Poran and his friends in
tend to vote for its passage. It is I'M
derstOOd that several of the gentlemen
present at once pledged themselves to
this course and undertook to secure the
cooperation or a NUMBER or their COL
leagues who have failed to such amend
ments to the Mills bill as have been de-
manded by their constituents. PrOmi-
nent among the members who are
pledged to vote for the substitute is
Mr.. Snowden of Pennsylvania, who
does not hesitate to declare that if the
republicans will pass a bill protecting
wool and other leading industries OF
the country, at the same time making q
substitute cut in sugar, he will vote for
it. 1t is estimated by the projectors of
the plan that it will have the support OF
at least a dozen democratic members.

Wholsnale Horss Poisoninp.

KANSAS CITY, No., July 2O.-Thir-
teen horses and five mules belonging
to Mr.. Slutz, proprietor of the Rock
Greek Dairy, at 1905 Grand avenue.
are supposed to have been poisoned
last night by strychnine. Three horses
are dead, and all the animals are af-
fected. A stable man going down
among the horses at about O'Clock
this morning first noticed little driv-
ing mare acting strangely, and in a few
moments she fell in commissions, dying
almost instantly. The mare was a
half-sister to Country Girl, and was
valued at $500. There were seven
other horses in the stable at the time,
three of which belonged to the drivers
and four to Charles Lohse, proprietor
of the feed store next the dairy. These
horses as yet, show no sign of the pois-
oning. DIR. Hunter is making an an
alysis Of the contents of the stomach
of one of the horses, which will not be
completed until tomorrow morning,
though the Doctor thinks the Symp-
toms are sure evidence of strychnine.
Mr.. SlutZ says twelve of his horses will
surely die. Mr.. Slutz can give no
reason for the poisoning.
