FLOODED HORSES BATTLE.
They Engage in Mortal ARRAY and One
Finally Kills the Other.

CINCINNATI-A fight to the death be-
tween two booded stations was the thrill
ing specta lie witnessed on Captain B. F.
Treasters 5 farm at Aurora, Ind. recently.
Two three -year-old stations, both valu-
able and spirited animals. with all the
beauty and vigor impaired by thorough
bred ancestry, had been turned into ad-
Joining pastures to feed. A heavy wood
en- fence divided the fields. and although
as colts, the pair had playfully bit and
kicked at each other across 1t, the fence
was supposed to be strong enough to keep
them separate and prevent trouble. This
summer had brought the colts almost to
the full vigor of equine vitality, however
and TIE circumstances developed in them
to its full degree the ferocity and courage
which exists in every perfectly made
horse
The animals began their fight over the
separating fence and kicked and paved at
each other until the fence was demolished.
Then they came together in a struggle
which for feTceness and length exceeded
anything which the spectators had ever
witnessed The two big brutes stood on
their hind legs fercely paving and strik-
ing each other with their fore feet and
tearing each other nec6s and shoulders
with their teeth.
Their neighing and screams of rage,
and the sound of their kicks and snorts
were heard fully half a mile away, and a
half dozen or more persons were attracted
to the scene of the conflict, but so vicious
were the enraged animals that for nearly
an hour no one dared to go near them. At
last the smaller of the two, bright bay.
caught his antagonist by the throat with
his teeth and dragged him to the ground
The larger horse kicked and rolled, and
gasped spasmodically IN an effort 20 avoid
being ch6ked to death. but the small horse
clung desperately to his hold, and the
death of the large horse ended the strug-
gle. The other was almost dead from ex
haustion.

SENATOR EDMUNDs says congress will
not adjourn before September.

THE republican members of congress
from the South are opposed to the electo-
raj force bill But Notwithstanding their
unanimous testimony that it is not neces-
sary, that it will result in misfortune,
benefit neither the colored race nor the
people, the desperadoes are deter mined to
push it through. Their hope is that it
will gnad the white people of the South to
some acts of violence by which they may
freshly incarnadine the faded shirt.
WYOMING is the first state admitted in
which women vote, hold Office, serve on
juries and figure in politics just like men.
This has been the practice here for twenty
years or less, and will not cause any local
sensation There has been no great flock
ing of the ambitious ladies there TO enjoy
these privileges, and it is understood that
they will not insist upon going to congress
or the United States senate at present.
THE organs are all quoting approvingly
some fellow by the name of Beach, who
has been showing what he does not know
about farming. They quote this from
letter he has written.
"Good farmer. make always moro than per
cent on the money and labor invested, and the
majority ~ good farmers In this state make from
Ito 10 and ~ per cent"
Now, if only good farmers make this,
those who do not make it are
not good farmers, according to
to this man. Ergo, as not one farmer in
one thousand has made this amount in
the last ten years, they are not good far
mers The fellow insuIts every farmer
in Wisconsin He was probably hired to
do it by the tariff barons.
THE New ] ork Herald reports, on what
seems good authority, that the prospect Of
the passage Of the Mckinley bill has led
to concerted action on the part of Ger
many, France, Italy and Spain to boycott
he United States This will be done by
severe trade restrictions to prevent the
importation into those countries OF the
agricultural products of the United States.
When the American cattle, hogs, bread
stuffs, and provisions are excluded from
European markets the prostration of
American agriculture will be complete,
and the farmer will have the gratifying
consolation that he is paying only 80 or
60 per cent more for the manufactured
articles he purchases than he would, but
for the foolish Mckinley policy. It is said
that Mr.. Blaine and President Harrison
are fully aware # the catastrophe prepar-
ing for American trade

MONDAY, June 80.

SeaGte.-Mr. Evarts gave notice that on
account OF the absence Of Mr.. Voorhees,,
who decided to take part in the COM
memorative services in respect to the late
S. s. Cox, of New York, those services,
which had been fixed for tomorrow, would
be still further postponed till Tuesday OF
next week The house bill in relation to
oaths In pension and other cases were
taken from the calendar and passed. The
house bill for the sdmission of Idaho as Il
state was taken up for consideration. The
bill having been read, Mr.. Morrill, gave
notice that he world, at le earliest prac
ticable moment, move to take up the tariff
bill. Mr. Platt said that ne could not con-
sent to any suggestion that inteTfered
with the Idaho bill. Much as he believed
in the tariff bill, and anxious as he was to
see it passed, he would not consent to its
being taken up until the Idaho bill was
disposed of, Mr.. German said there had
been no understanding arrived at, as was
usual, as to the order of business, and he
thought business would be very much
facilitated if the senator from Vermont
would fix a time when the tariff bill would
be considered latter part of this week,
or the beginning of next week. Mr.. Morrill,
SAID that it was not his purpose to inter
fere with appropriation bills or with con
ference reports, but he repeated that, at as
early a moment as practicable, the tariff
bill would be called up. Mr.. Teller re-
marked that the tariff bill could not pos
sibly be taken up this week The senate
would probably adjourn from Thursday till
Monday, and probably the. Idaho bill
would not be concluded this week
