in favor Of protecting the independence of
Sam AID of securing q harbOr there for
American ships, and in which it was inti-
mated BY them and by Mr.. Hale that the
debate would come up again soon in an
other and more serious form (perhaps in
volving this United States and Germany.

HALE's ATTITUDE,
In the debate on Mr.. Reagan's amend
meat, Mr. Hale said that he wou not OBJ
iect to the first clause Ot the appropriation
amendment but be was not Wiling TO go
farther than trat He was not willing for
the Senate TO declare atiirmatvely that 1t

the independence Of any people. The
matter might be safely left to the e1ecu-
tive.
Mr.. Sherman agreed with Mr. Hale, and
said that the committee on foreign rela-
tons had agreed unanimously TO the two
amendments reported The words proposed
TO be inserted by Mr.. Reagau's amendment

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 10.-James Ducker
suddenly jumped into the room of +. Is.
Sutherland tonight and dashed at Suther-
land cup of nitric acid. The recipient of
the vitr.ol screamed in agony while Duck

into an opium den, where he WAS captured
a moment later by police in pursuit.
Quicker and Sutherland were formerly
comrades in the United States army, sery-
ing until recently as privateS at Fort
Leavenworth. The reason for the assault
lay in the fact that Quicker on
coming to Chicago engaged in
the business of Offering 10 mail
valuable watches at ridiculously low fig
ures on receipt of cash in advance He
was getting great quantity of registered
mail and it is alleged sending no watches.
While intoxicated last night he told Suth-
erland the scheme. Sutherland at once

tempt was made to arrest Quicker, an ap-
poiutment with Sutherland being used as
a decoy. Quicker asked to have the war

tempt at revenge with vitriol A newspa-
per Sutherland was reading caught most
of the acid and saved his face from des-
truction but his breast and one arm are
badly burned. Ducher's operations through
the mails were conducted under the
names OF j. d. Allison and j. D. Emerson.

RAILROADS HAMPERED.
Cars Can Not be Obtained to Move the
Enormous Crop Of Kansas

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Dec 10.-Such ex-
traordinary demands have been made upon
railroads during the past week to move
crops of the southwest that a car famine
is imminent. This morning 700 cars were
waiting on the side tracks in this city to
be sent east or unloaded. Both the eleva-
tor men and the track jobbers are unable
to handle their business for lack of accom-
mediation. Shippers are obliged to pile up
their corn along the railroad tracks and
wait weeks at a time for cars. The rail-
road men say the car famine is due to the
enormous crops which exceed the carrying
capacity of the roads. They all agree that
never before has there been such demand
for freight cars, and many of the roads
have resorted to boarding mp fiat and coal
cars for the shipment of grain. All of the
roads it is said have leased cars from their
eastern connecting lines but still the de-
mand exceeds the supply.

FOR MRS DAVIS, RELIEF

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 1O.-A plan
has been formulated for the relief of
family of the late Jefferson Davis 1t is in
the form of a circular letter to the gov
errors of the southern states 1t an
nounces the appointment of a committee
to receive subscriptions to the amount of
500. 600 to the capital stock of the Davis
Land company. which will purchase from
the Davis estate 5.700 acres of land ID
Arkansas. The shares are 10000 in num-
Der and their price is $40 per share. If
more money is subscribed than enough to
buy all the stock the capital stock will be
increased to the size of the subscription.
This plan has been adopted, because Mrs.
Davis refuses to accept any direct money
subscription for the relief of herself and
family. The letter continues as follows:
1.-The people of the south will honor them
selves and testify their respect and admira-
ton for the invincible spirit of indie
pendence which characterized their de-
parted hero and his noble spouse if they
shall unite in giving this gracious and
delicate form to their bounty"

Taking her age into consideration, it was
the greatest performance ever made by a
trotting horse. Truly she is the queen Of
performers and Mr.. Bonner is to be congrat-
ulated On his purchase. 1t is not known just
what price Mr. Bonner paid for her, but it is
put down as near $4,000 The following ac-
count Of har record-smashing race is ALSO
lutely correct:
Orrln Hlkok drove running horse beside
the FLY. Sunol got the word at the first at
tempt, and left the wire behind in beautiful
style. Her speed from the very start was
fast, but it was only by looking at the rnn-
ner that one was able to notice how fast the
FLY was really travelling. When Marvin,
who held the reins, nodded to the starter, the
running mate was nearly furlong behind
The quarter post was reached In 80 seconds,
and, without noticeable decrease in speed,
the journey UP the backstretch was begun.
When the half mile station was reached the
timers watches showed the distance to have
been made in LOS and then it became a GER
tainty that, barring break, the eastern
colts record would be badly broken. The
FLY, never faltering, and going true as the
wind, made the turn and started for the six
furlong mark, which was reached, as the
watches showed, in 1:371s. Then pandemo-
mum broke loose, as the gallant young trot-
ter dashed down the straight.
Marvin felt that he was about to drive I'M
der the string a world beater, but, fearing
that his charge might let down at the last
moment, looked around and nodded to Hikok
to bring up the runner. At this the. crowd
yelled all the more, and went fairly wild in
their demonstrations to help the FLY keep
her courage up to the highest point. The
trotter dashed on, and soon digpelled all
doubts as to her gameness. She came like a
hurricane-so fast, indeed, that the thorough
bred runner could not hold the pace. At the
fifteenth pole Marvin reached for his whip,
poised it in the air over the head Of the FLY,
when, with extra burst of speed, she
flashed past the judges, winner against time
in 2:101l, transferring the crown of three
year-old supremacy from King Axtell to her
own queenly head.
Sunol was bred and reared at Governor
Stanfords famous Falo Alto stables She is
a dark bay FLY, beautifully formed, and was
foaled in 1856 She is by Electioueer, son Of
Rysdyk's Hambietonian, and sire Of Manzan-
tia, 2:16: Anteo, 2:16 Adair, 2:1711; Ante
volo, 2:17, and twenty-four others that have
trotted in 2:30 or better. Her dam is Wax
ana, by General Benton; second dam, Waxy,
by Lexington.

WILL RESUME MARRIAGE RELATION.

WILL RESUME MARRIAGE RELATION.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. Dec. 10.-The menu
bers OF the Economic society, who occupy
settlement near here, are seriously con-
siderng the feasibility of returning to the
institution of marriage. There are now
but about thirty members of the organiza-
ton left in the quaint little town Of Econ
omy, and they are all we'll along in years
For long time the rule forbidding the
marriage of members has been strictly
enforced, and time has so reduced their
numbers that the question of disposing of
many millions of dollars of treasure which
the organization has accumulated and of
perpetuatlng the society itself Is becoming
daily more important.
AT the opening of the coming year a
dozen new members will be admitted to
the society. Several of these are married.
About the same time the proposition to
raise the bans SO long placed on the mar
rage rite will be considered. It is learned
that majority OF the present members
favor the idea and unless something occurs
to change their minds the change is ex-
pected to be made
The society lives in the town of Economy
on the banks of the Ohio and has become
celebrated for the frugality of Its members,
its enormous wealth. fine farms, quaint
homes and good citizens. Jacob Heinrich,
Its Leading spirit, is a white-haired,

glycerine explosion at the Butler Torpedo
company's magazine, two miles south of

the remains of the men and the greatest
excitement prevails. The larger part of

Woods shoulder and right arm have been
found twenty rods away. A small part OF
Medlll's trunk was taken from the top of

can of the explosive drop when handling
it up to Medi!l, who was in the wagon.
