THE WOUND WAS FATAL.
Representative Taulbee Dies From Cores
pondent Kincaid's Bullet.

WASHINGTON, March 11.--EXC Congress
man Preston Taulbee, of Kentucky, was
shot i'll the head by Charles Z. Kincaid
correspondent of the Louisville Times, in
the House wing of the Capitol in the after
noon of February 90. lie died at 4:45 this
morning at the Providence hospital. Taul.
bee had been unconscious some time before
his death and his end WAS painless. An
autopsy will be held this afternoon, when
the ball will be definitely located and the
progress Of the wound traced Kincaid
who has been out on BAIL was arrested a
very short time after Taulbee's death and
locked up to await the action of the court
A reporter visited the station house soon
after Kincaid's arrest and found him look :
ing pale and sickly. He seemed entirely
oblivious to his surroundings, and is 4
wreck of his former self. kincaid's con
dition is serious, and it is the opinion OF
his friends that he will not live to stand
trial.
The cause of the killing was as follows
Two years ago Taulbee represented the
Tenth Kentucky district in the Fiftieth
Congress. Several OF his escapades be-
came current gossip in the Capital, and at
one time he was reported to have been
discovered under compromising circum-
stances with q female clerk in one of the
departments. The story was in the papers
in Washington, and Kincaid wrote Of it to
the Louisville Times, Of which he was cor
respondent, but without malice. The story
became known in the Tenth Kentucky
district and injured Taulbce. Ever since
that time Taulbee had studiously insulted
Kincaid upon every occasion, though Kin
caid is physically small and weak man,
and Taulbee was large man. On the
day Of the shooting Taulbee met Kincaid
and not only insulted him with words, but
pulled his ear. Kincaid being also Ken
tuckian, and having punetilious notions
about resenting insults, went and procured
q pistol, and rs Taulbee was coming out of
the chamber of the House with compan-
ion, shot him in the head over the left eye,
from the effects Of which he has died, as
above stated.

People of Port Townsend have raised a
purse to send Regina Rothschild, young
lady born and raised in that city, around
the world, to beat Citizen George Francis
Train who is being sent out by Tacoma.
Train goes westward, and will return from
New York to Tacoma on special train
over the Northern Pacific. Miss Rothschild
goes in an opposite direction in a special
over the Canadian Pacific. The latter COM
pany will delay the regular boat leaving
Yokohama, and bring her direct to Cape
Flattery, where a tug will take her direct
to Port Townsend. Citizen Train declares
he will make the trip in sixty days. The
Port Townsend girl will try hard to make
it in less than sixty days. The Canadian
Pacific has taken SO much interest in the
matter that this race around the world will
be in the nature of contest between those
great railroads. Regina Rothschild is
about twenty one years old, the daughter Of
"Baronn Rothchild, a pioneer merchant of
Puget Sound. See is beautiful and pop
ular young lady.

IT is most too early to form any fixed
opinion regarding the money plan proposed
by Senator Stanford, of California. The
outlines of his plan and ideas are given in
another place. A brief statement Of the
scheme is to issue currency upon real
estate values. John Doe has farm worth
$4,000 and he wants to use $4,000. He
executes his mortgage to the Government
as security and the Government allows him
to issue $4,000, reserving sufficient inter-
est to cover expenses, just as under the
National Banking act persons are allowed
to deposit bonds as security and issue Ma
tional Bank notes. It brings to ones mind
John Law and his Mississippi scheme. No
doubt 1t will be regarded as beneficient
plan throughout all the farming regions of
the Middle States and perhaps in other
places, by the borrowing classes, but on
first blush 1t strikes us as being just little
too lovely and chimerical to be thought of
seriously. The idea of the Government
going into vast banking business in a
paternal way sounds very we'll, but it is
not the business of the Government.

Soldiers, Attention.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 11.-Many thousands
of regimental associations of surviving
soldiers keep as nearly as possible correct
rosters of their living comrades, and to
that end they revise the list at each recur-
ring annual meeting of their organizations.
The superintendent of census is very de-

will be efficient aids in the preliminary

TIE great, sudden and destructive floods
on the Ohio river are frequent Of late years.
There must be cause for this, as it was
not always thus. The best reason for it,
that We remember to have seen, is that the
Ohio and its branches run through farm
ing region; and that the farms throughout
all the vast region drained by them are
net work of tiling. The water that would
otherwise soak into the ground and remain
there for awhile at least, soaks into the
ground, thence into the tiling, and is i'm
mediately carried to the streams, almost, if
not entirely, doubling the amount Of water
which naturally flows from the surface of
the ground.

me FISH WAR.


The war cloud on the North Pacific
of which SOME of the news paper s
say so much, will end in small
scare. No matter how much the
sensational papers may belch forth
Nominations, and try to stir up a
war feeling among the people; and
NO matter how many cutters, sloops
and three deckers may go to Behring
Sea, with proportional number of
flag ships, yet the peace will not be
broken.
The parties In interest are two Of
the greatest nations IN the world.
and are strongly united by con-
sangulDity which revolts at the
Shonght of a fratricidaI war. They
are also united by commercial
interests which neither can afford to
dispense with. Suppose war should
break out between these two nations,
what would be the result; some of
the results would be that the great
Navy of England would blockade all
our ports and cur trade would
Stagnste, while American privateers
would sweep the English commerce
off all seas; this would bring over
crowded England into a terrib lie
plight, she depends SO very largely
for her existence on f.
o0mano+oo. Then ga .uu. years
OF devastating war tn whole matter
would have to be arbitrated, for
neither one could conquer the
other.
No, if any one supposes that Mr..
Blaine, Sec, of war, is Jim Blaine of
Maine, he is badly mistaken. A
man in the opposition, or not in the
government, can buster Cor the
popularity, or votes it will win for
him. but that same man placed in
the position that he feels the whole
weight Of the responsibility resting
on his shoulders, is quite a different
man.
No, you may rest assured We will
have no fish war with England, and
no other war with England is likely
to occur during our mortal lives; it
wouldn't pay either party.

was making up his mind the tape
came reeling of, and the broker an
nounced the same stock as quoted at

tape started again, and presently
the stock reached the two figures.

chaser, who had sent in his order
only a moment before, would be
obliged to pay thatprice for it. But
