THE TEXARKANA TRAIN ROBBERY
FULLY CONFESSED.
The Wife of the Wounded Robber Exposes
the Whole Gang-The Guilty Persons
are Now All Safely Lodged in Jail.

TExARKANA. Ark, June 22.-The wife
OF Ratcliffe, the wounded Texas Pacific
train robber who died last night, has
furnished the authorities full state
ment of the recent sensational robbery
near here. She states that the persons
now in Jail, Detective Williams, Napo-
leon Mcdaniel and John Brow
ley, with her husband, commit
ted the robbery. Mcdaniel went
through the express car while Browley
and Williams stood guard; that Rat
cliffe did the shooting which disabled
the express agent with Williams's win
chester; that Mcdaniel shot Radcliffe
through mistake, supposing, in the dark
ness, that the trainmen had armed
themselves and determined to resist.
The woman did not in any way counte-
nance or encourage the robbery, but was
enforced to silence.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 22.-An I'M
known man was shot and instantly killed
in the Suer Quelle saloon, at O'Clock
last night, by Leo Wilke, the barkeeper.
The stranger came into the saloon with
four other strangers, and called for
drinks, which were placed on the bar.
The stranger then turnedIto the bartender
and said: "Say, barkeeper, what do
you do to man who doesn't pay for his
drinks?"
Wilke reached under the bar and
pulled out a revolver, and said: II know
nothing better than this to enforce pay
ment with"
The words had hardly left his lips
when the revolver was discharged in the
face of the stranger, who fell over with
a bullet through his forehead.
His four friends rushed out of the
saloon and disappeared.
Wilke at once gave himself up to the
police. He claims that the shooting
was accidental.
The identity OF the man killed cannot
be learned. The initials &c. K" were
found on his shirt. He was about 35
years old.

What the Queen Drinks.

Some remarkable information about
the favorite beverages of European SOW
ereigns has been published by an Amer
ican journal. The queen is described as
preferring "the old fashioned wlnes,"
port and sherry, and she is fond OF hook
and tokay Formerly the queen drank
champagne and claret, and she never
cared for either port or sherry.
1t was the prince consort who liked
tokay so much, and he invariably
drank bumper of it after dinner,
regarding it, and very rightly, as a
liqueur. OF late years the queen, by
advice OF Sir William Jenner, has usu-
ally taken apollinaris water and Scotch
whiskey, and even when she drinks a
glass OF claret it is often mixed with apol-
linaris. The distillery of Lochnager,
from which the queen obtains her whis-
key, is on the Balmoral estate. There
is very large cellar Of wine at Windsor,
containing great quantity OF very fine
old port and claret and some wonderful
Cabinet Rhine wines of the great vint-
ages London World.

Wine in High Places.

The terrible fact comes out that Presi-
dent Harrison and Vice-President Nor
ton sometimes drink wine; that cham
pagne and claret are not unknown at
white house dinners, and that the vice
president ventures to place seven wine
glasses before his guests and fills them
all. The more alarming fact is that Mr..
Wanamaker is the only public man OF
the highest range of Importance in the
service of his country who does not
drink wine, or, as they say in the regions
where the people dwell in moral sub
Unity, press the bottle to his neighbor's
lips Murat Halstead.

Porter Missed the Gypsies.

Mr.. Porter covered a good deal of
ground in preparing his questions for the
census, yet there are many things he
did not provide for. An enumerator at
Philadelphia is anxious to know how he
shall take census of the gypsies that
will pass muster with Mr.. Porter. There
is large band of this species OF wan
derers in camp near that city, and he
has thus far been unable to get them on
his list. The gypsy queen says she re-
sides all over the United States, and the
answers of her followers are about as
unsatisfactory. In his perplexity he
has written four-page letter to Mr..
Porter for instructions, and the latter is
now wrestling with the difficulties OF
the gypsy question.-[Chicago Herald.

THE TARIFF BILL.
A Statement to the Effect of the Senate
Measure. -.

A Statement to the Effect of the Senate
Measure.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Statements as
to the effects upon the customs receipts
of the provisions of the tariff bill, as re-
ported by the senate finance committee,
have been completed. These show that
the amount of duties collected in 1889
upon the importations of all articles
made dutiable in the house bill and the
amendments proposed by the senate,
assessed under existing laws, was $751;
408, ,846. The duties estimated under the
house bill amount to $206, ,249 ,977 !;
under the bill as amended by
the senate, $201 ,6S9,907 The equivalent
ad valorem rate under the house bill is
$3.50 per cent. under the senate bill,
51.97 per cent. The reduction of revenue
by the transfer of articles to the free list in
the house bill, including $10,327 ,S7S re-
duction OF internal revenue taxes,
stricken out by the senate finance COM
mittee, is estimated at $717 ,64O,7 By
the transfer articles on the free list in
the senate bill the reduction of revenue
is estimated at 500, 1893, ,343.
A note in recapitulatiOn says These
tables are prepared upon the plan and
theory usually followed. Estimates are
largely conjectural and more or less un-
reliable and misleading. They are based
upon the assumption that if the bill
should become law, merchandise Of
like quantity and values would be i'm
ported as was imported during the fiscal
year of 1889. This basis can only be
accepted as reliable where the changes
in rates are not of such
a character as to necessarily cause an in
crease or diminish importation. The re-
duction above given of $71 ,064, ,774 by the
house bill, and $50 1893, 343, appear to be
certain; but if the imports should be
the same as last year, under the new
rates, the reduction would amount under
the house bill to $26, 1913, ZAP, and under
the senate bill to $40, ,31S, ,2S3.

Which Is the Longer?

(Which is the longer-the head of g
good-sized horse or an ordinary -four
barrel?" "Why, what can you be
thinking of?" II repeat it." "Pre-
posterousp eyes but let's measure"
So the two men who had been talking in
such an animated style paused in their
Market-street walk and looked around for
a flour barrel. 1t was at noon, and hun
dreds of horses stood with their
heads hanging over the curb,
munching their provender out OF
nose-bags or boxes. By and by the
two men who were in alteration found
an empty -four barrel. One of them
was about to seize it in order that he
might hold it. up against the horses
face when the other exclaimed, "Iold
on! I've got tape measure" So they
measured the barrel and then stepped
over to the curb where stood big
boned draught horse. They measured
his head. The man who at first de-
INJURED opened his eyes. "Good gra-

WILKEsBARRE. Pa, June 22.-Two
young men of this city, returning in a
buggy from pleasure resort tonight,
were confronted by three masked high
waymen on the turnpike where Farmer
Rosecrans was murdered two years ago.
Their horses being frightened by dark
lantern, needed no urging, and the young
men made their escape amid fusilade
of revolver shots. A posse has gone out

Managing the OId-CIo' Man.

An observant young man assures me
that there are few things more amusing
than to deal with an old-clo' man. He
has discovered the secret of driving a
bargain, and it is to name price and
stick to it. The old-clo' man comes on
call, and presents himself black bag in
hand, ready to buy anything, from a
secondhand derby hat to an outgrown
dress suit. He comes prepared to bar
gain, always insists that the seller set
the price, and instantly offers third of
the figure named. If the seller has kept
within a reasonable sum the buyer
comes by degrees to the price de-
manded. At the slightest sign Of weak
ening on the sellers part, however, the
old-clo' man becomes as hard as steel.
The one thing he is not prepared for is
the man who serenely stands by his
first price, and that policy always wins.

Will the Silver Bill Be Reported to the
House Today-A Bitter Partisan
Debate in Prospect.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-All except
one, the general deficiency, of the four
teen regular appropriation bills, have
been acted on in one or both houses OF
congress. But two of the thirteen, how
ever, the army and military academy
bills, have become laws; the others are
mostly IN conference or in an advanced
state in the house or senate. Almost
seven hundred bills, the larger portion
being house bills, have been sent to the
president since the opening Of congress
for his action.
The House Programme.
Tomorrow will be district day in the
house, but if the coinage committee is
ready to report upon the senate amend
ments to the silver bill, there are indica-
tions that the committee on rules will
be ready in turn to see that the report
secures speedy consideration in the
house. 1t is also probable that by Tues
day morning the same committee will
report rule making the national cleo
tion bill the special order for the re-
mainder of the week. If adopted, it will
proDaDly ledu 10 one OF une mOSC Dltter

years.
Senate Forecast.
The bill for the admission of Wyo-
ming is the first order of business in the
senate. When it comes up the Demo-
Gratis will offer substitute in the shape
of an omnibus bill, providing enabling
acts for Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona and
New Mexico. Territorial bills will have
to wait, however, for consideration of
the appropriation bills. The committee
is determined to press these measures as
rapidly as possible. Frye will make an
effort to have his shipping bills con-
sidered, and if that fails will press the
river and harbor bills.
