WASHINGTON, January 13.-Secretary
Proctor, who has been for some months
giving earnest consideration to the anne
lioration of the condition of the Apaches

conclusions to the President in two al
tentative suggestions. One the pur-

LIFTS ITO TONS WITH EASE.
Enormous Machine in the Washington Navy
Yard-Largest Hosting Crane in the World.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The largest
travelling crane in the world, which corps
of machinists and mechanical engineers
have been for several weeks setting up In the
gun-shop at the navy-yard here. is DOW in
practical operation. While differing In
many material points from smaller travel

ordnance shop. it is constructed on the
same general principle. 1t has lifting
capacity Of ITO tons, and tests made a few
days ago. in the presence of the Secretaries
of War and Navy and other government
officials, were very satisfactory.
For the purpose of testing the ponderous
machine to the full capacity agreed upon

platform of immense logs of beams. secrecy
fastened together with the largest chains
in use at the ordnance shops. To form this
enormous weight it required solid mass

high and nearly ten feet square at the base.
This tremendous weight was picked up and
carried about the shop in all directions, as
though 1t were toy, being raised or low

system of levers. requiring but little skill
in their manipulation. The crane is de-
signed to carry the 110-ton steel guns which
are being built at the maynard. and there
is no doubt that 1T will do the work.
The Orders which span the shop are

the speed of the hoisting-machine can be
adjusted to suit the load which is to be

SUFFERING SENATORS.

The Eight Hours . Day Of Work on the Tariff
IL Wearing Them to Shadows.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-This session has
been by far the hardest ever known in Con-
gress. and under a notice given by Senator
Aldrlch Saturday additional burdens are
to be laid upon tho Senate. He has been
induced by the Democrats, who want more
time for the debate on the tariff bill, to ask
consent that the Senate shall, for the first
three evenings of this week at least, sit
from 10 A. NJ. until 1890 p. M, with recess
from $50 to p. M. The order will be made
tomorrow, and if that doesn't afford suffi-
cient time it is possible the same arrange
ment will be made for the last three days
of the week. when the five-minute rule
will be in force. Many Senators doubt the
wisdom of this course.
Two years ago Congress did not adjourn
until the Goth of October. but at no time
did the daily sessions of either house begin
before IL o'clock A. NJ, and then only for q
short time. Since shortly after the tariff
bill was taken up by the Senate. 1t has been
sitting from 10 A. NJ. until 8 P. NJ, and oc-
cassionally later, six days in the week. In
view of the numerous roll-calls. 1t has been
considered necessary that every Senator
should be in his place. This combining at
tendance has been making sad inroads
upon the health of many of the Senator'S.

confined to his house by ILLNESS. Wade
Hampton, the senior Senator of South Caro-
lima, daily violates the orders of his physi-
clans by putting in an appearance at the

FALLACIoUs TARIFF ARGUMENTS.

Americans Do Not Sell Their Manufactures
Abroad Cheaper Than at Home.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-'I had the pleas
ure Of knocking one of the old Democratic
arguments in the head the other day." said
Representative Evans, Of Chattanooga.
Tenn. 1T has been frequently argued by
the Democrats, in consideration of tariff
bills, that American manufacturers sell
their products in foreign markets at
lower prlce than they are sold to American
consumers. Not long ago member of the
House fiercely attacked a manufacturer for
his alleged prices, declaring that a manu-
factrrer in my State was selling plows in
Mexico at 80 per cent. less than they were
sold to Americans. He produced in evil
dence O catalogue issued by the firm, and
declared that so per cent. discount was
given to purchasers in Mexico.

are two additional discounts given to pur-
chasers in the United States-one for 10

the discount to purchasers in the United
States 65 per cent, and In Mexico 80 per
cent, thus giving the American wholesale
dealers an advantage of Is per cent. over
those in Mexico. The man who quoted
from these prices current simply gave the
discount in Mexico and said nothing about
the fact that greater discount. amounting
to Is per cent. was given to American
dealers. This is simply a sample of the
dishonorable INSTRUMENTATION made by
the Democrats in their tariff arguments in

manufactures are sold at lower prices in

POLITICS In ARKANSAS.
Republican and Union Labor Leaders Mobbed
and Cruelty Beaten Without Provocation.

LITTLE Rock. Ark, Aug. 31.-A mob of
about 1,5O0 men, some mounted and some
on foot. yesterday surrounded the Morrill,
town station on both sides of the track. A
Union Labor mass-meeting was to have
been held there yesterday. On the incom-
ing train from Little Rock, among others,
were j. b. Mclaughlin, q well-known
Union Labor orator, and Geo. Small, of
Springfield. Conway county. prominent
white Republican, who had been here for
the purpose of getting Union Labor tickets
for use in Conway county for the election
tomorrow. Small carried the tickets 1900
In all, In a valse.
When the train stopped crowd Of men
sprang forward and poured into the coach
where Mclaughlin and Small were seated.
Among the foremost were, it is said, Oily
Bentley, Jim Lucas and Walter Wells.
Small wac struck repeatedly upon the
head with loaded sticks and he soon lost
consciousness. Mclaughlin was thrown
upon the car floor and his right shoulder
severely wrenched. After striking Small
several additional blows the satchel was
dragged from beneath his feet and passed
out through the crowd. In few minutes
the assailants had left the car. What be-
came of the tickets is not known.
Mclaughlin got of the train on the side
opposite the depot. He passed along the
line of horsemen. but no attention was
palu TO MIN. All the business houses closed
and every man and boy was ont taking
part in the general excitement. In spite of
the murderous assault on Small the NIB
seemed disposed To treat Mclaughlin with
some degree. of courtesy after he left the
train, and he was thus enabled to get din
ner at hotel.
Mclaughlin came back tonight and his
description of the affair has created a great
deal of excitement. Tickets are being
printed TO replace the ones stolen, and
Conway county Republicans will yet be
given a chance to vote.
