which is worthy of note was the announce

A Determined Effort in the Senate Puts the
Commodity on the Free List.
WASHINGTON. Sept Sat the close of
the seventh week of the consideration
by the Senate of the tariff, the Senate
yesterday for the first time turned down
the Committee on Finance. In every
other case previously the committee has
carried its point, but yesterday on
reaching the article so extensively used
by the farmers throughout the country,
known as Irvine, determined fight was
made on the item by the Republicans,
led by Senator Davis, of Minnesota.
After long debate under the five
minute rule the motion of Senator Davis
to strike binding Irvine from the dutia-
BILE list and put it on the free list was
adopted by vote Of "a against "a. The
majority included twelve Republicans,
all of whom were from the West as fol-
lows: Allison, Casey, Davis, Mcmillan,
Mitchell, Moody, Paddock, Hiatt
Plumb, Squire, Washburn and Wilson,
of Iowa Blodgett was the only Demo-
crat who voted to sustain the duty.
This was clear victory for the farmer
as against trusts and combines, Senator
Davis having shown that the binding
Irvine in this country was under the
complete and absolute control of one of
the most powerful trusts ever organ
lied. including the manufacturers both
of the United States and Canada. Four
or five representatives. of this trust were
seated in the gallery and witnessed
their own "knOck out"

Stricken Suddenly While in Court He Falls
Dead Outside.
CINCINNATI Sept 5.-Hon. E. F.
Noyes. judge of the superior court of
Cincinnati, fell dead shortly after
eleven o'clock to-day at the court house.
He had been on the bench and heard an
Injunction case, but as he was
too i'll to proceed farther, he left the
bench and was on his way to the street
car when, at the corner of the court
house, he suddenly fell backward and
died instantly. The cause is supposed
to have been apoplexy.
Judge Noyes was about fifty-seven
years old. He entered the army here
in 1861 as Major of the Thirty-ninth
Ohio regiment of infantry, and. soon
after became it's Colonel July 4, 1864,
at Rufus Mills, Ga, in a charge upon
the enemy's earthworks which he led,
he lost a leg. He left the army Brevet
Brigadier-General.
Since the war he served as city solic-
itor of Cincinnati, as probate judge Of
Hamilton County. as Governor of Ohio
and as Minister to France under the adj
ministration of President Hayes Last
year he was elected Judge of the supe-
rior court of Cincinnati for five years.

MOBILE, Ala, Sept S.-The Louis

which left Mobile at eight o'clock Mon
day night was held up at Big Escambia
bridge, half mile north of Pensacola
Junction, by robbers, who entered the
express car and compelled the messen-
ser to give up the contents Of his safe.
Having secured the valuables. the rob
bers jumped off and took to the woods.
The first news of the robbery re-
ceived in Mobile by the railway officials
was but meager. The train was held
up about half a mile above Floma.on
Junction, and the people there knew
very little of what occurred, for the
train was delayed seven minutes only.
Some surprise is expressed here tina.
the robbers selected this particular train

carry most Of the express money. No. 6.

at any time and small amount on this
occasion.
1t is said Rube Burrows was recently

ity that he ordered the assembling of
his gang at Flomaton and joined them
there to superintend the proper conduct
OF the affair.

ENCOURAGING REPORT.

Special Agent Cook Tells Of Sorghum Sugar
Making In Kansas.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Secretary
of Agriculture is in receipt of a report
from Special Agent Cook, of Kansas. in
which he gives very encouraging ac-
count of the Improvements made in the
sorghum sugar factory at Medicine
Lodge, in that State, and of the good
results already shown in handling this
seasons crop About 2, 800 acres of cane
were contracted for at this place,
of which 325 acres of early am
Der" and Tennessee" varieties have
been worked, yielding about four tons
to the acre. Fifteen hundred acres
planted Of the early orange" are esti-
mated to yield about seven tons to the
acre The extreme dry weather has re-
duced the yield, nor is the sugar quite
as good as last year; however, it is per-
haps in better condition at Medicine
Lodge than at any other place visited
by the special agent, with the exception
of Fort Scott ana Topeka, where it will
average about as we'll as at Medicine
Lodge.
