About the time the Speaker was counting
quorums some of the western papers told a
story of this kind: One day door was
opened and high wind swept through the
Hall of the House, whereupon the Speaker,
without looking up ordered the clerk to
record Springer as present. OF course the
Speaker never said any such thing; but
there is hardly another member beside Mr..
Springer whom the papers would make the
butt of such a story.

WASHINGTON, May 16. = An anus
ing protest has been made by an
Indiana firm of tombstone makers against
the duty on granite. They declare that the
rate impose in the Mckinley bill'would ex-
clude the use of red granite and thereby Gre
ate sameness in the appearance of our
cemeteries by the exclusive use of the gray,
which are only beautiful by variety of col
ors, of which our domestic quarries do not
yield the supply" lnasmuch as there are
untold quantities of fine red granite inWash-
ington county the grave yards will probably
be saved from monotony in spite of the Nc
Kinley bill.
In the days when the Speaker was count
ing quorums, there were so goes the story
nova few Democrats who attempted to
avoid the Speakers eye in various ways
without success. One of these was Amos
Cummings, of New York, who was always
counted whenever he was in sight. One day
when the blind chaplain had concluded his
daily prayer, Cummings turned to Wise, of
Virginia. whose seat was contested and
whose doom was sealed, and said:
"The chaplain ought to be the Speaker of
this house. he can't see so-well."
"It makes indifference to me-" retorted
Wise. 'Nobody will see me here much
longer"
Wise was right. His seat was SO clearly
tainted with fraud that even the members of
his own party in the election committee re-
ported in favor of neither Wise nor the con-
testant elected. This Wise, whose name is
George d., should not be confounded with
the other Wise, of Virginia, who is Repub-
lican leader.

THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Several Weeks to Pass Before the Senate
will Reach q Vote.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Now that de-
bate has opened in the senate on the
tariff bill there is more or less speculation
as to how long it will continue and what
course it will take. There is a sort Of
taclt understanding among the Republi-
cans to talk as little as possible on the
bill, with the hope OF fastening vote on
it, and also an understanding that the
Democrats will talk as much as possible.
with the double effect of postponing q
vote on the tariff bill and of deferring ac-
ton on the election bill.
1t is generally supposed that about five
or six weeks will be consumed in the
discussion of the tariff, with other mat
tiers sandwiched in as the occasion NAV
require.
The most interesting feature of the de-
bate will be-that which will arise over
Senator Hale's reciprocity amendment.
There seems to be general understand
ing now that this will be confined to the
sugar schedule. AS for the western SEN
ators and others, they have made very
vigorous protest against letting down the
bars to lead, wool and other raw ma
terials. This will, however, afford a wide
scope for discussion and general ora
torical spread may be expected when this
is reached.

ChiCaEO's Big Fire.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. July 24.-Pursuanl
to call by Gov. Fifer the general assem-.
ply met in special session at noon yester.
day to consider three subjects, namely: A
constitutional amendment authorizing
the city of Chicago to add SIS 900 900 to
its bonded debt for the worlds fair, to
pass such laws as may be needed to au-
thorize the north, south, west side, or
city parks for fair sites and to allow park
commissioners to issue bonds for fair
purposes; and to give to the city the
right of eminent domain to condemn
property which may be needed for uses
connected with the fair.
The meeting is watched with a good
deal of anxiety by the various commit
tees that have the responsibility for the
successful management of the fair. If
the legislature evinces similar spirit to
the fair as was exhibited by the city
council of Chicago, then it would be bet
ter for the reputation of the city and its
continued prosperity if New York or
even st. Louis had been selected as the
site for the exposition. As constitu-
tional amendment has to be published
at least three months prior to the day of
election, the legislature must get through
with the city bond question so that the
publication may begin by the I'd or Sd
OF August. This gives the members only
about eight days to do this part OF their
work.

FRUIT is NOW FRUIT.
Ihe Eastern and Southern Crop Failore
Facts for New Mexico Producers.

New YORK, July 24.-The New Yor1
Commercial Bulletin says a call was mad
on leading fruit receivers in this CITY. an,
they were questioned in regard to tn,
crops, as outlined By the advices of tbei
correspondents. The reports in all case,
were poor, and in very many instance,
they quoted total failures. The damag,
has, it seems, been general to all parfs
whence the east usually draws her sun
Piies. Commencing in Georgia, which
last season produced an elegant crop OF
peaches and this year has none, and fol.
lowing along up the coast the same state
of affairs prevails through the several
states until Maryland, Delaware and
new Jersey are reached, where the abso
lutte failure OF the peach crop for the
present year is so generally known that
IL Is hardly necessary to mention it. It
Is stated on good authority that not a
dozen car loads OF peaches will reach this
city from the above mentioned states this
season. This is in strong contrast to
thirty to fifty car loads regularly received
daily in previous seasons.
Even New York state, which usually
produces heavy crops of the various fruits.
Is In tone with her southern ne;ghbors.
Up 10 June the crop of apples prom
lsed to be very large one, but now the
most doleful reports are being received
from the western part of the state from
the i've large apple producing counties. to
the effect that the fruit has fallen from
the trees to such an extent as to warrant
them In determining that the crop is a
virtual failure. From other parts of the
state come similar reports, and it is added
that much OF the fruit will be wormy.
Pears, peaches and plums will 1t is
SAID, be very small crop. and most OF
The reports claim very poor quality. If
IS not yet definitely known whether the
grape crop in the western part of the
state will give full yield or not, because

nave seriously injured its keeping Quail
les. Many letters received from promi.
lent growers state that in their Judgment
he grape crop will show much rot before
Reports from the eastern states in re-
'aard to apples are quite similar to those
II New York state, and even Canadian
eports are that this year fruit is falling
rom the trees. The sum of the whole
natter appears to be that the fruit
rops OF all the coast states, from the gulf
Canada are virtually failures this Sea- s
on.
The supplies for consumption therefore. ,
1ust come from the west or California. ,
ls fortunately that California has good
rrops this season, especially of peaches, {
lums, pears and grapes. There is one {
lctor IN the situation that will initiate !
gainst very heavy receipts from Cali .
'rnia this season, however. This is the
eavy demand there for canning, drying
nd evaporating purposes. Indeed, it is
sported that 8 cents a pound is freely
tered for peaches on the trees-a high
price than has ever before been known
that state. The California fruit seems
be carrying well this season, however;
1t appears very likely that the east.
n states will receive far more than ever

At that hour there was an immens,
cloud burst, the forks of the creek pourinl
a deluge of water within the narrow wall.
OF the canon.
1t completely demolished the two iron
railway, bridges at the Forks, and as, far
as can be learned annihilated all OF the
other structures in the vicinity. The res,
taurant, the depot and all of the out hous.
es were swept away in the flood.
It is believed that no lives were lost.
The immense volume of water laden
with wreckage went tearing down the
canon with the result that to-day from
the-torks to Golden there is scarcely a
vestige Of the railroad left. The greater
portion of the road bed is washed away
and all means of communication are de-
stroyed.
