An Amendment Proposed to the Mckinley
Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator Wash
burn has presented an amendment to
the Mckinley tariff bill, which is de-
signed to put white pine lumber on the
free list. The amendment Is in line
with the position which several of the
northwestern senators have taken, and
this action has been expected on the
part of Mr.. Washhurn's friends. The
present duty on white pine lumber is
So per thousand feet In the Mckinley
bill, by change in classification, the
duty is reduced to Sl.50 per thousand.
The reduction in the revenue from
duties on lumber of this class was esti-
mated at 5000, 900 by the house commit
tee on ways and means. Tho total
revenue collected from this class of
lumber last year was in round numbers
$500, ,00o SO the amendment proposed by
Mr. Washburh would decrease the rev
enus by that am6uit, estimating tho
importations to he the same as under
the existing duties. Between Mr..
Washburn's amendment and Mr.. Nc
kipley's bill the difference is 5000, 600
per annum in the country's revenue

CHicAGo, June 6.-lIctty Green, the
richest and at the same time most
pennrious woman in the world, will in
the course of a few weeks receive a
practical exemplitication unent the old
odage OF IA Bitter Bit" For wears
she has been holding enormous quanti-
ties of vacant land on the west side of
this city, declining to either improve or
sell, in the hope that some day or an
other local conditions might bring it up
to fabulous prices. Now, however, AS
SCISSOR Cantwcll. by virtue of the power
with him vested, hns determined to
double tho assessment on all property
owners who will neither build nor sell.
This decision will cost Mrs. Green a
good many thousands of dollars, and
when she finds her tax bills doubled
next month 1t is thought that She may
be willing to do something with acres
OF property that is now nothing hut an
eyesore to the improved residence dis
tricts in which it is located.

4 Dray Horse Plays Havoc in IL New York
Saloon.

New York, June IA big dray
horse rolled down the basement
stairs and into the saloon Of George
Meyer, at 557 Pearl street, yes
terday. For two hours the horse about
owned things, and there WAS d general
wreck within the reach of his heels
The horse was hitched to dray belong
Ing to lithographing company, and at
5 o'clock was passing the Pearl street
saloon. Billy" the driver, was on
the seat, says New York dispatch to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Sud-
denly the horse began to tremble, and
somebody yelled that he had the blind
staggers. "Billy," the driver. jumped
down, and with the aid of n dozen men,
soon had the horse lying OH the side
walk. In its frenzy the horse kicked
Itself FREQ from the harness, Before
the crowd was aware af it, tt liofse had
struggled to the top of the stairway
leading down into Meyers saloon. The
animal balanced there for a moment
and then plunged to the bottom. The
frame of the big double door was strong
and it didn't give way under the 1,600
pounds of horseflesh. Tho horse was
jammed down OH his haunches which
were cut and bleeding from the broken
glass. The fall had made it wilder than
ever, and by using its head as a batter
ing ram it broke down the door frame
work and rolled in upon the floor of the
saloon.
Then the fun began.s Neat little pyr-
amids OF glass piled up behind the bar
came down with a clatter Under the
jarring, and the horses hoofs began to
tly out in all directions. They knocked
the washstand just inside the door into
kindling wood, and broke the supply
pipe, letting the water gush over the
floor They split the long mahogany
bar rail, and left the imprints Of their
shoes on everything in range. Saloon
keeper Meyer kept at distance In de-
spair for time, but finally saw his op-
portunity and Jumped on the horses
head. a few of the loungers in the
saloon came to his assistance, and the
quadruped's legs were tied. Meyer sent
out for policeman, but the officer
shrugged his shoulders and said he would
have to leave the driver to look out for
his own horse.
The animal, meanwhile, was lying in
u big pool oi blood whi6h was howing
from dozen cuts. 1t began to look as
If Meyer would have to house his unwel-
rome visitor all night, and he made an.
Dther effort to stir up the minion of the
law. The policeman was finally per
suadcd to send for one Of the big alnhli-
lances belonging to the society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. When
1t arrived Meyer saw the horse wind
lassed up tho stairs and carefully laid
on bed OF straw. Then the crowd
dispersed and Meyer sat up the rest of
the night guarding his stock of liquors,
with big gap leading to the street
where the door had been.

investigation will be that many nf the

decision and also prophesied that the
