Ex-Presidens Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Ex-President
Cleveland visited the United States
supreme court again to-day. His prese
ence became known and the space
allotted to the public was soon crowded.
Spectators were in hopes that they
would have an opportunity of hearing
the ex-president argue his case, but
there were two cases ahead of it on
docket, and as the court hears no argu-
ments after tomorrow III is highly prob
able that Mr.. Cleveland will not be heard
until next October. Mr.. Cleveland sat
within the bar for some time listening to
the argument that was going on. Sew
eral of his political friends greeted him,
but most of the time the only persons
with him were Thomas J. Semmes and
Richard Gray, who are associated with
him in the New Orleans drainage case.

Tariff still the Issue.

Special to the Gazette.
Washington, May 1.-THE Mckinley
bill will be the issue Of the campaign, -
said Representative Mills, "and all at
tempts to make the tariff a subordinate is
sue will fail. There is already abundant
evidence that there existed q determin-
alton in certain quarters to put the tariff
issue in the closet and fight the campaign
on the election bills and the general ex-
travagant expenditures of the majority
It was freely said in conversation and
even in caucus it was whispered among
the members that Cleveland was beaten
on the tariff issue, as Hancock was in
1880, and it would not do to make the
tariff 700 prominent again. The same
Nkind, but not the same degree, of spongy
tissue about the backbone was exhibited
by about the same men who, in 1881,
cried, al told you So, and seemed to
lose their sorrow over their party mis-
fortune in the delight that their predlc-
tion had come true. Now gentleman who
certainly knew every Democratic move
that was made in that campaign is au-
thority for the statement. Neither the
congressional nor the national committee
issued single tariff document during
the whole of the campaign of 1880. Quite
the contrary. They did issue, however,
one tariff document to show that Gar
field was free trader at heart. and they
induced Gen. Hancock to publish letter
on the eve OF the election, to the effect
that the tariff was local and not a ma
tional issue. The fact is that since the
days preceding the war, when the tariff
ceased to be a question, because both
parties IN congress voted for a revenue
tariff, then down to the time when Mr..
Cleveland ran in 1884, the campaign lit
erature studiously avoided the tariff ques-
ton, except where the same was printed
for distribution in certain districts only.
Mr.. Carlisle remarked; ''The tariff
will continue to be the issue until reve-
nue. reform shall win a substantial tri-
umph.''

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
Ex-Governor Psttison Being Groomed for the
Nomination for GoyernOr-AspirantS
for Second Place,
Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 4.-The past
week has shown a positive development
of the movement to nominate ex-Gover-
nor Robert E. Pattison as the Democrat
ic candidate for governor. Following
the announcement that ex-Postmaster
Harrity and Sheriff Krumbhoar OF Phila-
delphia had broken faith with the Wal
lace people, word has been passed
around that W. U. Hensel Is
for Psttison, aad that Chancey F. Black
is willing TO take second place on the
ticket. Hensel was chairman of the
Democratic state committee when Patti
son was elected in 1882, but was not on
intimate terms with him afterward. He
was not consulted by Pattison. and on his
frequent visits to Harrisburg be never
went near the executive office. Four
years later he was g power behind the
Black campaign against Wallace for
the nomination. His preference
was for Pattison and Wallace. The
information that Hensel and Black have
accepted the place with Pattison is the
first long stride in the movement to har-
monte the Democratic party, and 1t has
given the party leaders much encour-
agement. The peculiarly of the Patti
son movement is that it is being pushed
without q word of express assent
or approval from him, and without
the assistance of some of his most trusted
friends. Not the least of these is
Slngerly, editor and proprietor of the
Record, and chief factor in the Chestnut
national bank, of which the ex-governor
is president. The truth is that Singerly
was committed TO W allace before the lat
ter went to Europe. Since then the stu
alton has changed; che PattIson movement
has come up out of the ground from rank
and file. The battle Is to be fought on
other lines than those foreseen at that
time, and If Pattison withstand he will
have the Philadelphia delegation. Sing
erly does not want the ex-governor to go
back into politics, but if he does there is
no doubt of Singerly's support. What
Pattison will do in the matter is under
stood to depend on indications as to who
the Republican candidate will be-.

| particulars OK senator Beck'g Death.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-senator James
B. Beck of Kentucky dropped dead in
the Baltimore and Potomac station at
'clock this afternoon. He had just ar
rived on the limited express from New
York and wasaccomp panied by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Goooloe wife of Maj Goodloe of
the United States marine corps. He got
off the train with the rest of the pas
sengers and walked with his daughter
the entire length of the platform and
through the gate leading to the station
proper. He seemed to walk with an
effort and to breath with labor but these
symptoms were usual accompaniment of
exertion with him for some months past
After passing into the station the senator
and his daughter stopped, and were
joined by his private secretary,
who had brought n carriage to take
them home. A few words were
exchanged with regard to the baggage,
when the senator suddenly turned
pale and with the remark: ''I feel
dizzy, {" fell into the arms of his COM
panions. They could not support his
weight and he dropped to the floor where
he swooned away. His daughter was
help. Willing hands were numerous as
the station was crowded at the time,
and the limp and helpless body was
borne into the Office of the station master
about twenty feet away. Great excite
ment ensued, and, although it was ap-
parent that the senator was dead, half a
dozen messengers were Immediately dis
patched for physicians, and all remedies
at hand were applied, but to no effect.
DR.. Chamberlin was the first physician
to arrive, and he was soon fol-
lowed by DR.. Wells and others,
but there was nothing for
them to do except examine the body to
determine the cause of death. A super
fetal examination only was possible at
the time, but this was sufficient to satisfy
the physicians that death resulted from
paralysis of the heart. The news
was telegraphed to the capital and
subsequently spread like wildfire to
all SECTIONS of the city. Representatives
Breckenridge, Caruth, Stone ana others
of the Kentucky congressional delegR-
ton, repaired to the station at once and
arranged for the removal Of the remains
to more suitable place.
One of the most conspicuous members
of the United States senate was James
b. Beck OF heutuChys he was cltlZeQ
of Lexington, of that state, but was born
IN Dumfriesshire, Scotland, February
10, 1922. He received an academic ed
ucation in his native land, but was edu-
Gated for the law IN the Transylvania
university of Lexington, Kentucky. He
graduated thence in March, 1876, and
practiced his profession in the place of
his adoption. he was elected, as
representative, to the Fortieth, Forty
first, Forty second and Forty-third con-
crosses, and having been offered the
nomination for the Forty-fourth session
declined It. When the term of his pre-
decessor IN the senate; John W. Steven
son. expired, he was chosen as his. snc-
lessor and took his seat March 5, 1877.
In 1882 he was reelected sand again in
1888. Before his eleecioaas representa-
tive he had heldSno political position.

HaFFison Surprises Texans.


WASHINGTON, May S.@The appoint

that Harrison has yet given the clans in
the Lone Star state. Probably Mr..
Bryant is as much surprised As

candidate. In fact, he was hardly con-
sidered as in the race. Your correspond

thority that Charley Ogden or San An
tonic had been selected for appointment,
and in another twenty hours would
have been publicly announced, but it
seems that IN the interval some charges
were filed against him that practically
caused mis- defeat. The appoiutee never
came on to Washington, and it is said
relied mainly on the manipulating
of his friend, Congressman Hare. How
well the latter attended to the delicate
task, hampered rs he was by adverse po-
litical connection, the result shows. The
new judge has never taken a radical
stand, in politics. and is as popu-
lar among Democrats as Republic

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May There is hardly
any doubt that Judge Abbott would be
able to pass the Fort Worth public build
ing bill If be could get it before the
house, which is the chief difficulty. He
will make no effort, however, to get an
increase oyer the amount recommended
by the committee on public buildings, as
some recent experience with presiden-
tial veto has warned him of the danger
of going beyond the committee g figures,
or at least beyond those of the supervis-
ing architect. He will exert all diligence
to get recognition in order to pass the Fort
Worth bill, and if passed as reported
from the committee he has no fear of a
veto. Were the amount added to even
so little the danger would be imminent.
COL. CULBERsoN
made an elaborate and able argument in
the house to-day on the antitrust bill,
favoring the measure which passed the
house By practically unanimous vote.
Whether the bill will have the benefi-
Gent effect intend eddy its advocates is
uncertain, there being a variety of SEN
timent on that point. Some OF the
Texas delegation who voted for it
seem to think it very questionable
whether any practical good will ever
be derived from the law, though
they voted for it in the hope it would
perhaps prove something of a barrier in
the path of illegal combinations.

BoNHAM, TEX. May 5.-Last night, at

Rains county one week ago Yesterday,
johnson and wife left the place of MUIR

having two teams, one of
horses, the other of mules, john
son driving one team, his wife the other.
officers had been in search OF them ever
since that time. These teams and wag-
ons were said to be the property of Shu-
mate. About dusk yesterday evening
Sheriff Montgomery rode up to q house
near YOUNGSTOWN, about twenty-four
miles northeast of this place, and
stopped to stay all night, and when he
went into the lot to put up his horses he
noticed two mules that he thought suited
the description of the Shumate mules.
While he was looking at them
Johnson, who had stopped at the same
place short time before the sheriff got
there, stepped up close TO him. So soon
as the sheriff saw him he arrested him,
and to-day he brought him and his wife
to this place and took the west-bound
strain for Emory, carrying his prisoners
along with him. The murder was
.eold-blooded one, Shumate being an old
man, and at the time was living with
johnson and his wife who were renters
on his farm.

had charge of the opposition to the in

of seeing it beaten by six votes. A mo-

posed to act consistently in the matter
throughout. In spite of the decision of
the court of claims that Silcott
was the regular disbursing officer
of the house and that the members
should therefore lose nothing, he sent
back his November salary to the treas

his reasons for refusing to accept.
EX-PREsIDENT CLEvELAND's VISIT
here, though only on legal business, has
started great deal Of talk, chiefly in
relation to his candidacy in '92. The
Critic, an afternoon paper, says that
Mr.. Cleveland is afraid that his friends,
particularly those from the South, may
be urging too aggressively for the head
of the ticket, and that he has suggested
to several of his closest friends the
need of moderation. The feeling is
general here that while Cleveland il
stronger than any man before the people,
that it will be useless to nominate him
unless he has his own state behind him in
the convention, as without New York
there would be no chance of electing q
Democrat.

hotel and was accorded pleasant well
