The rancho of Maj Randolph lay on a rich

great wheat plains that the young girl had
Just left. A house of wood and adobe,
buried to its first story in rose trees and
passion vines, it was large and commodious.
Yet it contained only the major, his wife,
her son and daughter and the few occa-
sional visitors from San Francisco whom
he entertained and she tolerated.
For the majors household was not en-
tirely harmonious. While young infantry

dramatic gestures of a French creole
widow, and-believing them in the first

had obtained his captaincy she had partly
lost her accent, and those dramatic gest-

their brief courtship began to inten-
sify domestic alteration and the 6u .sts of
idle jealousy to which she was subject.
Whether she was revenging herself on her
second husband for the faults of the first is
not known, but it was certain that she
brought an unhallowed knowledge of the
weaknesses, cheap cynicism and vanity of
a foreign predecessor TO sit in Judgment
upon the simple minded and chiyalrous
American soldier who had succeeded him,
and who was in fact the most loyal of hus-

compelled frequent change of quarters.
When to this was finally added racial di-

TALK ON THE TARIFF.
It Will Be Fast and Furious This
Week

HWAsHINGToN, Aug. 31.-The senate
will conclude this week the considera-
ton of the tariff bill. The vote will not
be taken until the week following, bat
all general debate will come to all end
this week. Some of the most impor-
tant features of the bill, particularly
the reciprocity question and the sugar
clause, are still to be debated, and as so
little time remains at the disposal of
senators for the discussion of these
matters, every possible moment will be
utilized, and night sessions will be held
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The conference report on the river and
harbor bill is about ready, and will prob
ably be laid before the senate tomorrow.
Senator Frye will doubtless ask that it
be printed and then, on Tuesday, he
will ask that it be agreed to. Ii any dis
position is shown to debate it, it will be
allowed to go over until the tariff dis
cussiOn is concluded; but Senator Frye
believes that it can be disposed off with
out debate. The conference report on
the land grant forfeiture bill, which is
now pending, will also be allowed to go
over till next week. Tariff talk, there
fore, will absorb the attention of the
senate during the week. Bills On the
house calendar will be called up for
passage in the house on Monday, which
is suspension day" under the rules.
On Tuesday. in accordance with notice
previously given, the contested election
case of Clayton against Breckenridge,
from Arkansas, will be called up, and
the discussion will probably last for two
days. The rest of the week may be
given to other contested election cases
OF to committees that feel that they have
been neglected. There is also proba-
bility that the conference report on the
river and harbor bill will be discussed.

issue will be the stealing of the state by
che Republicans last year. All the in
famous work Of the republican gang,
from CanvaSSer Jack to CanVasser
Blake. will be detailed on ths stump
and in the press, and an appeal made to
the decent people of the state. without
regard to politics, to wipe this stain off
MOntana's eScutcheon by their votes this
year. The Democrats carried the spring
election on this issue, and they think
they can carry the state this fall. Many
names have been spoken of for con-
gress, among them w. S. BickfOrd, j.
4: Toole. 81. L. Frank. w. A. Clark and
w. w. Dixon. Of these Dixon and
Toole are the strongest men. and one or
the other will be the nominee in all
probability. The desire of the majority
OF the party is that none of the big
Four" Hauser, DAILY. Broadwater or
Clark. have anything to do with the
nomination, as the intention is to select
a man who is friendly with all these
men, but yet not the close friend of any
one of them. To win, such man must
be selected, as since the senatorial con-
test last fall the relations of the Big
Four have not been the friendliest, and
while they will all support a man with
out any entanglementS, should the
Democratic convention select a candi-
date who is known to be particularly
friendly to either one of them, the
rest would hold it to be their duty to
see he was turned down. In addition
to congressman there are eight state
senators to be elected. If the Demo-
Gratis can elect four of these, they will
be able to control the next senate, as
five of their men hold over, and the
total membership of the body is sixteen.

CHICAGO CARPENTERS.
Many of Them Will Go on Strike
This Morning.

MANY Oh In6m VIII 10 on SGr1k6
This Morning.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Nearly 1900 union
carpenters held mass meeting in Bat
terry d armory this afternoon and lis
tened to the instructions of the car
penters' council relative to the strike
which begins tomorrow morning. The
assertion of the master builders to the
effect that scarcely 1000 men would fol-
low the leadership of the council and
quit work looked rather dubious in
view of the attendance at the meeting.
The strike is to enforce raise in wages
promised by the new bosses association
some months ago. Throughout the
proceedings every allusion made to
the strike and the determination
to go out was met with prolonged ring
ing cheers. President James O'Con-
nell, OF the carpenters council. asked
that every man belonging to the car
penterS' unions report at their respect
i've meeting places Tuesday morning.
There was some misapprehension felt,
he said.. that the men working for
bosses who were living up to the agree
ment were to be forced to remain idle.
This was not the case. 1t was desired
that every carpenter should report, and
If it was found that the union scale
was being paid the men would be al
lowed to return to work. Before adj
journment the following telegram was
read from representative of tie coun-
Gil who visited the general headquarters
OF the carpenters in Philadelphia:
The general executive board sanctions the
action and promises the support OF the en-
tire united brotherhood. W. b. HALL.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
A Mammoth Crane Put i'm Use in
Washington.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-The largest
travelling crane in the world, which a
corps of machinists and mechanical en-
gineers have been for several weeks
setting up in the gun shop at the navy
yard here, is now in practical operation.
While differing in many material points
from smaller cranes which have been in
use in the ordnance shop, it is con-
structed on the same general principle.
1t has lifting capacity of 10 tons, and
tests made few days ago. III the pres
ence of the secretary of war and navy
and other government officials, were
very satisfactory. For the purpose
to the full capacity agreed
upon in the contract for it's
construction, 110 tons of pig iron was
piled upon platform of immense logs
or beams securely fastened together
with the largest chains in use at the
ordnance shops. To form this enor-
nous weight it required solid mass of
pig iron piled up about ten feet high
and nearly ten feet square at the base.
This tremendous weight was picked up
and carried about the shop in all direc-
tions as though it were toy, being
1aised or lowered, changed by simple
system sof levers requiring but little
tkill in their manipulation. The crane
is designed to carry the 11O-ton steel
guns which are being built at the navy
yard, and there is no doubt that it will
do the work. The girders which span
the shop are siXty-two feet i'll length
and high enough frcm the floor
to give a forty-foot hoist. BY
the system of levers referred to, the
speed of the hoisting machine can be
adjusted to suit the load which is to be
carried. 1t will lift its greatest weight,
ITO tons gross, one foot per minute. The
whole machine rolls from one end of
the building to the other, its easy ac-
ton and strength dwarfng all other ma
chimes about it. An idea of its i'm
mense proportions may be inferred
from the fact that the main sheave or
pulley block, which hangs below it,
weighs five tons. The total weight of
the crane, without the framework or
tracks upon which it runs to the square
steel shaft which propels it is 1s5 tons.
The machine has attracted the atten
tentiOn of mechanics and mechanical
engineers from all over the country,
many of whom have taken long trips to
see it in operation With the iron
framework on which tits supported, the
machine has cost the government $780,

BRAZIL is WILLING
To Give Us a Boost on Reciproc-
ity.


WASHINGTON, Aug. .31.-The reciproc-
ity amendment to the tariff bill, re-
ported from the finance committee last
week, was last night the subject of an
interview between Senator Aldrich and
Mr.. Mendonca, the Brazilian envoy on a
special mission to the United States.
This amendment was reported after
consultation of general nature
with Maj. Mckinley, chairman
of the ways and means COM
mittee, and other Republican leaders.
In the interview last night, Mr.. Men
donca said that the amendment, as re-
ported by Senator Aldrich, was salts
factory to Brazil, and that she would be
one of the first countries to make con-
cessions to the United States i'll return
for the removal of the duty On sugar.
MIR. Mendonca said his government
would not only remove the duty on farm
products exported from the United
States, but would admit free United
States agricultural implements, aud
machinery, and railroad equipment, and
supplies, including railroad iron. Brazil
would also, he said. make reduction of
at least 25 per cent. in the duty on cot
ton and leather goods and clothing
from the United States.

GoBBLED THE TICKETS
And PummeIed Those Who We're
Carrying Them.


LITTLE Rock, Aug. 31.--A mob of
some on foot, yesterday surrounded the
MOrriltown station on both sides of the
track. A Union Labor mass meeting
was to have been held there yesterday.
On bthe incoming train from Little
Rock, among others. were j. B. Nc
Laughlin, well known Union Labor
orator, and George Small, of Spring
field, 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, 1000 in all, in valise.
When the train stopped crowd of men
sprang forward and poured into the
coach where Mclaughlin and Small
were seated. Among the foremost,
it is said, were Oily Bentler, Jim Lucas
peatedly uponsthe head with loaded
sticks and he soon lost consciousness.
MCLAUGHLIN was thrown upon the floor
and his right shoulder severely
wrenched. After striking Small sew
eral additional blows the satchel was
dragged from beneath his feet and
passed Olt through the crowd. In a
few moments the aSSailants had left the
car. What became of the tickets is not
known. Mclaughlin got off the train
on the side opposite the depot. He
passed along the line of horsemen. but
no attention was paid to him. All the
businessh ouseS were closed and every
man and boy was out taking part in the
general excitement, In spite of the
murderous assault on Small the mob
seemed disposed to treat Mclaughlin
with some degree of courtesy after he
left the tram, and he was thus enabled
to get dinner at the hotel. McLaugh-
lin came back tonight and his descrip-
ton 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 chance to vote.

much political excitement tonight be.
cause of the oversight by the Saco board
of aldermen in not holding meeting
between Aug. II and 13 to revise the
check lists, according to the requirement
of the statutes. The Saco officials admit
their error, though they claim that all
other requirements relating to the elec-
tion have been fulfilled. The Biddeford
aldermen who were recently arrested
and arraigned in the United States dist
trict court on a charge of neglect Of
duty, look upon the Saco aldermen's
neglect as parallel case. Leading
Biddeford Democrats are anxious I'd
push the matter, and it is probable that
arrests of the Saco aldermen will occur
within few days. a conference will
be held tomorrow, and it will then be
decided what action will be taken.
Democrats claim that the Saco alder&
mems error will invalidate the electiont
and that if the district gives majority
to Congressman Reed his election WILL

KINTBALL CAPTURED.
The Worcester Teller Is Placed in
Durance.

Durance.
New YORK, Aug. 31.-On April 2
Frank Kimball, the paying teller of the
Peoples Savings bank, of Worcester,
Mass, abscOnded with S43,5O0 worth of
bonds and cash, abandoned his wife and
two children, and ran off to Europe
with a fascinating French-C Canadian,
Estelle lie Bon. The teller left his
family in straitened circumstances.
The guilty pair embarked on the jour
ney abroad from this city. The woman
came back to this country alone a few
weeks ago and was spotted on the day
of her arrival by detectives of Worces-
ter, who have dogged her footsteps
every day since, thinking to catch Kim
ball thereby. In the ShadoWing process
they were aided by New York de-
tectives. Letters to the woman were
Intercepted, and it was found Kimbali
was about to return. The New York
detectives learned this and kept the
knowledge to themselves, determined
to be present when Kimball was caught.
While one was Watching the woman's
house to-day she suddenly appeared in
walking costume at the doorway. After
a hurried glance about she left the
house in haste. The detective fol-
lowed the woman TO the dock of the
French line of steamers. The wom-
an eyed narrowly every one who
stepped down the gang plank. Sudden
denly she rushed effusively up to
well-dressed, middle-aged man, folded
her arms about him and kissed him sew
eral times. But the love scene was bro
ken short by the detective, who stepped
up to them and simply said: You are
my prisoners; don'timake any scene.
Come with me-" The scene then
shifted to police headquarters, where,
when searched, the detectives found all
the stolen bonds sewed up in the lining
OF Kimball's clothing: but the stolen
money was all gone. Kimball took his
arrest sorely to heart. Both were
locked up to await requIsition papers
from Massachusetts.

Billy Is Brave.

BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The imperial yacht
Hohenzollern had very stormy pas
sage on returning from Russia. The
vessel narrowly escaped colliding with
a light ship, and her deck houses and
stanchions were damaged. The yacht
pitched so badly that the sailors were
hurled from their hammocks, and many
OF them received severe bruises and
other injuries. Notwithstanding the
entreaties of his officers, the emperor
remained on deck during the very worst
of the storm.
