WASHINGTON, Aug, 2l.-The senate
this morning. after spending some time
considering the Plumb resolution for pro
hibiting liquor selling or drinking in the
senate wing of the capitol. took up the
tariff bill. Nothing wa said about the
Quay (order of business) resolution, de.
bate on which began yesterday.
The pending question in the tariff bill
vas MoPherson's amendment referring
to table knives, steel. butcher knives, etc.
and imposes compound duties on them
according to value and classifications.
The amendment Is to substitute Tor these
duties the uniform rate of IS per cent ad
valorem.
The bill was temporarily laid aside, and
the conference report on the bill was for
an increase of the clerical force in the
pension office presented and agreed to.
Evarts presented . telegrum from the
members of the Grant Monument
Association in New aork, protesting
against the proposed removal of Grants
remains to Washington.
Consideration otkhe tariff bill was re-
sumed and the pending amendment re.
jected.
Mcpherson moved to amend the para.
graph referring to files and rasps by
striking out the duties and classification
by lengths and inserting rs per e>nt I'D

ment the senate went into executive SEES

KANSAS CRY. Aug. 2l.-L. I. Somers,
a sewing machine agent. while driving in
Cass County yesterday, passed a man
driving a horse and cart which Somers
recognised as property that had been
stolen. He stopped at a farmers house and
.endeayorod to borrow a gun. The farmer
did not have one, but joined Somers. and
the two drove on and met the man en-
deavoring to sell the horse to another
farmer. The farmer with Somers ordered
the thief to surrender. At this the thief
drew 4 revolver and commanded Somers
and the farmer with him to get out OF
Somen' two-horse wagon and then made
the three men lie down with faces to the
ground. He then took a watch, SIS. so,
several society badges and other small
articles from Somers, got into Somers' rig
and drove away. A posse from Lee
Summit spent last night in searching for
the thief and did not ind him.

will be of greatest importance to the pack
ing industry and to veterinarians, many Of
whom have hitherto thought that
actinomycosis, or lumpy jaw, was not
a contagious disease and that meat of
cattle so afflicted by it was not Injurious.
Members Of the live stock boards OF
several states have superintendent the
killing OF a number of cattle afflicted with
lumpy Jaw and examined the bodies.
A week ago fifty. five we're killed and
yesterday thirty-four more. The object
was to ascertain to what extent the disease
affected the entire system so as to make
the meat Of such cattle unfit for food
The result OF the examination was that
in about 90 per cent of the cases In
yestigated the disease was observed to
have affected the internal organs and the
flesh.
Mr.. Armstrong of the United States
bureau OF animal industry was among the
distinguished experts present. DIS.
Paquin and Grange. expert microscopists,
took a number of specimens for ex-
animation and for experiments in
incubation. They expect to cor
roborate what has been asserted by Ger
man and French scientists-that lumpy

THE FORCE BILL FER GEL ]
SLAPPED

Judge Carey in the joint debates now
IN progress in the western part of the
territory has constantly defended With
blind partisan zeal the passage by coz
gress of the force bill" a desperate Re-
publican measure intended to overawe
Democratic voters and by this means
maintain Republican msjorities in con-
gress.
1t is rather remarkable therefore to find
in the editorial columns Of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, one of the most radical
but intelligent Republican papers. an arti-
Gle headed, drop the Election Bill"
which reads as follows:
The exiRencies of the situation demand
that the Republicans of the senate shall
drop the federal election bill. A rigid ad-
herence to the purpose to press the meas
ure and to employ all the of the
the party to secure its enactment would
be 4 grave bluDder for which not q parti-
Gle OF excuse or justification could be as
signed. The truth Of this proposition
seems SO self evident now that argument
or explanation is unnecessary. To be
sure. the question Of abstract right and
Justice involved remains the same as when
during the canvass in which the present
president and congress were elected. the
Republican party pledged itself to secure
for all classes at the polls the privileges
accorded them by the law.
Sufficient has been learned ia the past
few months, though, to show that this
end can not be accomplished by the
method proposed. The object in view
must be compressed by other means thsn
those provided in the bill. The abuse
complained OF, il it is to be formally and
aggressively attacked at all, must be
attacked on other lines than those which
our statesmen have hitherto laid down.
THE enactment Of the Federal election
law now would injure the class it is de-
signed TO benefit, would weaken the Re-
publican party in the north without
Strengthening it in the slightest degree in
the South, and would retard instead of
hasten the growth and operation of the
social forces which are destined to ulti-
mately solve the problem Indicated. This
is the view Of the question which the
party generally is beginning to
take. Indeed there is NO chance.
in any event. for the passage of the bill
this session. 1t is understood that a
dozen Republican senators would vote
against it, while halt that number would
be sufficient to kill it. as not q Democratic
vote would be cast in its favor. Persist
ence IN the attempt to pass il would sim
ply endanger tariff revision. which the
Republicans must bring about this session
under penalty Of overwhelming and de-
served defeat at the polls 10 the coming
congressional elections. This is the situa-
ton. The facts may not be especially
pleasing to tho party, but ignoring them
or Iuarrsling with them will not alter
them Tho elections bill must be dropped
not merely for this session. but for all

A CANDID REPORT.

The reports of the joint debates be-
tween Judge Carey and Governor Baxter,
which have appeared in the morning pa
pers for the past three days, have given a
very inadequate idea Of what they con-
sisted. Both reports were apparently
colored by the partisan bias of the people
who sent them, with the result that
the Suns reports gave forth the i'm
preston that Baxter was getting decidedly
the worst of it while TnE LEADERS, re-
port showed the exact contrary. It has
been known here privately that Baxter
held his own with Carey at Evanston and
Green River a.1 got decidedly the best of
it at Amy.
However, il may BE- candidly confessed
that the published accounts have satisfied
no one. 1t was for tho purpose of Civ
ing a fair and impartia, report Of the pro-
ceedings. without any ATTEMPT at partisan
coloring, that THE LEADER sent its
own correspondent to the Rock Springs
meeting which was expected to be the
most important of the fr.t proposed ser
les.
The result IS decidedly gratifying. No
candid man. can fail to see that Governor
Baxter worsted his opponent in argument
and overwhelmed him with facts Irom the
legislative and economic history Of the
country. The Democracy OF Wyoming
have reason to be proud OF their gallant
young standard bearer who has met tho
foremost Republican politician on the
stump and fairly mastered him.
The Overwhelming process seems to
be Indefinitely postponed.

Tascott Is MOI wanted.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2I.-Detective Matt
PInkerton. in an interview this afternoon
ndicules the assertion that Tascott, the
murderer of Millionaire Smell, has been
captured 10 the west, and concludes with
the remarkable statement: They will
never catch Tascott; he is not wanted"
"Why not?"
Probably those connected with the
prosecution could tell you as well il not
better than / could. There is a great
history to that case and most of it has
been published by piece-meal-some in
paper and some in another. Prob
ably the whole matter will come out some
day. but it does not appear SO now. Go
and set Frank Tascott, the father. he
will tell you that he is not worried and
never has been over these numerous
arrests of his celebrated relation. No,
they will never get Tascott, in my
opinion

murder was a conspiracy, in which people
dear to the murdered man were implicated.

Fame After Death.

It is pathetic to read of the posthumous
fame Of Adam Lindsay Gordon, the Aus
tralian poet. Twenty years have passed
since, reduced to dire pecuniary straits, he
shot himself on Brighton Beach, near Mel
bourne. Now we are informed, on the au-
thority Of the circulating libraries, that his
poetical works are extremely popular" in
the wealthy city where he starved when
alive. The Australian publishers have
made fortune out of the fresh and vigor-
Gus poems that brought their author little,
If any, recompense.
Here is an instance of the contemptuous
Indifference with which Gordon's remark
able gift of open air song was treated dur
ing his lifetime. One of the leading Aus
tralian dailies thus noticed his Bush Bal
ladsn on their first publications: 1--WE have
received volume of poems entitled Bush
Ballads by A. L. Gordon. The book is
highly creditable to the printer, the paper
maker and the binder" The same Journal
published within the last few years, with
out a blush OF an apology of any sort, two
columns of a glowing eulogy Of the Lon
don edition of Gordon's poems. 1t is the
old story of the stoning of the prophets, Of
Keats and The Quarterly, of the marble
bonors that are reserved for a mans ashes
and the tribute that comes just lifetime
too late.
Can honor's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or eattery soothe the duh. cold ear Of deathf

Tear out the heart of a human being
ouickly and it will continue to beat for
some seconds after it has been parted from
the body. A frogs heart will pulsate for
twenty-four hours after It has been taken
from the batrachian. Ignorant persons
suppose this to mean that the heart is
still alive, and their notion is very natural.
But the fact is merely that there are in
the frogs heart certain groups of move
ment nerves, called motor ganglia,"
which keep on agitating the organ until
they are starved out by want OF nutrition,
though no actual life is present. There
are motor ganglia in the human heart
also, but they are not so strong in their
action.
When the flesh of a turtle is cut up in
pieces for a stew the scraps continue to
culver for many hours. The popular no
ton is that the turtle is so tenacious of ex-
istence that it keeps on living, though
chopped up. In reality the fragments OF
the motor nerves in the flesh, stimulated
by cutting, keep up an automatic move
ment. Galvanism was accidentally dis
covered through the chance contact of an
electric wire with frogs leg on Galvinis

Thawing Out Frozen Dynamite.

Although il is well known that dyna-
mite freezes at a comparatively high tenn
perature, and that the process of thawinR
cartridges charged with it is risky opera
ton unless it is carried out by means of
warming pans which have been devised
for the purpose, accidents of fatal nature
are constantly occurring through neglect
of the simplest precautions. One which
took place at Colwill quarry, Devonshire,
forms the subject Of a report by Maj Cum
dill, inspector of explosives. of London.
BY this accident two men lost their lives,
and it must be said that the poor fellows
in their ignorance seem to have done their
best to bring about this lamentable result.
To thaw their cartridges they placed
them on loose sacking above a can Of water
which was placed on the fire, and the pre-
sumption is that the nitro glycerine ex-
uded from the dynamite and dropped
through the sacking into the water beneath.
From its greater specific gravity it would
of course sink to the bottom of the vessel,
| and thus be Immediately above and almost
in contact with the Goals. The result
must have been obvious to every one but
those concerned. The men thawed their
dynamite in this reckless way by direction
of their master-who explained that he
had always done 1t in this manner-and
who also confessed that he had never
troubled to read the printed rules supplied
with the explosive. The great report also
shows that the agent who supplied the
dynamite seemed to be as sublimely ignor
ant of its qualities as those who used it

There is some controversy as to the pres
ent whereabouts as well as to the actual
composition Of the famous STANDARD Of
Mohammed," the "Sanyak-Sherif' or sa-

The North German Gazette il is in the mu-

zette says that it was formerly in the
mosque of Abou Ayoub, Constantinople,
but that Baron Tecco, the Sandman am
bassador, purchased it in the year 1899 and
sent it TO King Charles Albert. The same
account says that it is Of red silk, with sew.

upon it in yellow letters, and that its

AZ feet. A correspondent for one of the

''Oh, don't mind that; come back here,

attention, and the tall young man stepped
up TO the teller and said sharply:

you are always grumpy, ungentlemanll

for your meanness and agree to be pleasan
