In passing sentence upon John
Swallow, who was recently tried
at Wichita for the killing of Tom
Angel and convicted of man
slaughter, Judge Foster said:
"You have been found guilty
of manslaughter, but there has
always been something about your
case that is a mystery to me. You
don't look like man who would

The judge hesitated a moment,
and twisted his mustache as

road to Jerrico and the possibility
of a Good Samaritan lettering by

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON ID. O., sept. ~, 1890
Are we on the eve of a foreign
war? One would suppose so from
certain mysterious remarks made
on the floor Of the house and SEN
ate by members of the naval COM
mittees. The occasion of these
remarks was a joint resolution in
troduced and passed within a
week, appropriating s1,0OO,0 600 to
purchase all of the nickel the
Canadian mines, which supply
the world with that metal, co-a
produce for making armor pl ates
for the cruisers now being built
The members of the CO mmittee
talked mysteriously CT the urgent
necessity of the immo date appro-
priation of this money in order to
enable this government to control
the supply of nickel and prevent
Its going elsewhere, and they must
have talked much palmer private
ly, for the opposition which at
hrst was formidable, quickly dis
apr cared. On Saturday just be-
fGre the passage of the resolution,
Senator German stated that he
had opposed it the day before, but
that he had been assured that its
passage was an absolute necessity
in the interest of the public SER
vice and he would support it. 1t
was passed, and it has already
been signed by the president. The
cause of this unusual haste was
the recent tests of metal armor by
the navy department, which
proved that only the plates COM
posed Of nickel and steel could
stand shot fired from improved
guns. Ii was stated privately that
a representative Of the Krupps
had attempted to purchase entire
the products Of the nickel mines
for some European power, pre-
sumably England on Germany, but

Mr.. Bushyhead, who it will
readily be believed has studied
the situation as carefully as any
man in the nation, reaches the
conclusion that to run for chief on
the allotment issue at this time
would prove fatal to the political
hopes Of the man who tried it.
He names six districts, in the most
favorable one Of which-Sequoyah
the best that could be hoped for
would be a stand-off. This would
leave, according TO the ex.chief' s
calculations, Cooweescoowee, Del
aware and Canadian to overcome
the almost solid vote of Saline,
Flint, Illinois, Goingsnako and
Tahlequah, in the latter of which
he thinks not more than fifty votes
could be secured. While Mr..
Bushyhead is far from being
pleased with the manner in which
he was treated in the late National
convention, it was clearly evident
from a conversation had with him
during the fair that he did not
care to undertake, at this time, the
task of running for the position of
chief on an allotment issue.

The Mckinley tariff bill as re-
ported from conference was re-
stored to almost Its original con.
dition when passed by the house
the only differences being that the
amounts were slightly lowered
where changes were made, and
the reciprocity amendment. The
very best amendment added to
the bill by the senate was struck
out entirely by the conference
that providing for the formation
of a permanent tariff commission
The conference report was agreed
to by the house last Saturday
afternoon, and an attempt is
being made to push 1t through the
senate to-day but it is hardly like
ly to succeed, as there are Q num-
Der Of republican senators who
wish to make a few remarks Of an
explanatory nature. This is par
ticularly applicable to the senators
from the northwest, whose con-
stituents will want the tariff ol
seven eights Of a cent per pound
on binding twine explained. The
republican opinion of the bill was
well expressed by representative
Funston, chairman of the house
committee on agriculture, who
said: "There are some things in
it that might have been made bet
ter and there are many which
might have been worse; but taking
broader view, it is a good bill
and one 1 am willing to go before
the country on" The democrats
are uniform in condemning the
bill as utterly bad.
Postmaster Wheat, of the house

turns the money over to Wheat's
son. Mr.. Wheat claims that the
charges are entirely false and that
they were originated by dls-
charged employe, but the evidence
so far does not corroborate this.
