DEMOCRATS ELATED.
PIumb's Revolt Causes CONSERVATION
Among Republicans.

Among
WASHINGTON, d. c., August Senator
Pmmb's attack on the Mckinley Tariff
bill was not unexpected. For several
months past there have been rumors
10 the effect that Plumb intended
to iump on the tariff bill and
tear it into shreds. His arraignment de
lighted the Democrats, and they have an
nounced their determination TO make use
of. his arguments in their appeals TO the
people in the coming political campaign.
The Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee, and of the Finance
Committee assert that Plumb is angry
because the committees refused TO leave
Mexican silver lead ores on the free list.
There are large smelling works in Kansas
engaged in the importation of these ores
from Mexico, and Senator Plumb was
anxious that their business should not be
interfered with.
The Senator, however, has always been
opposed to imposing high and unneces-
sarv rates of duty on articles OF general
consumption, and made speeches against
many of the provisions of the Allison bill;
in the last Congress, and endeavored
N have the rates c'it down. Noone ques-
tons his honor or devotIcn to Tie Republi-
can party, bnt he believes that il is unwise
To increase the rates on any articles where
manufacturers are now making fair, and
in som G instances large dividends.

Far Expended in Opening the Congo.
BRUSSELS, Aug 2.-The MoUrcmcm Geo
OrdphfgpC publishes a statement OF the cost
N money and lives of the conquest OF the
Congo during the eleven years from 1919
that King Leopold has been carrying on his
enterprise. The total number of deaths
among the white agents of King Leopold
in these eleven years is eighty-two. In the
past six wears, during which an average OF
i73 white agents have been constantly en-
ployed on the Congo, fifty-siX deaths have
occurred. The largest white force was last
wear, when 226 white employees of the Con
20 State were at work and eleven deaths
occurred, or t. 5 per cent.
The five Belgium commercial companies
trading on the Congo employ $50 European
agents and laborerS, and in the two TO three
wears Of their existence these companies
have lost only six men by death, two OF
them bv accident. The total expenditures
of King Leopold in behalf Of the Congo
possessions in the last eleven years have
been about S5.OOO.OOQ II is argued from
these figures that, considering the ulu-
mate value Of the Congo, the cost Of open
ing the country has thus far been remark
ably small.

PAPAL DICTATION.
Gladstone Thinks 1t May BE Felt ia Irish
Affairs,

LONDON. August l.-Mr. Gladstone,
speaking at the National Liberal Club
tonight. said that there had never been
more distinct proof that the national
heart and mind are with the Liberals
than had been afforded since the assem-
bling Of the present Parliament. The
mission Of General Simmons 10 the Ro-
man Court, he said, was novelty in
English history. and would require the
attention Of Parliament at the next Ses-
sion, unless, as the expenses Of the mis-
sion were not taken from money which
the House Of Commons had voted. Par
lament might not have a chance To dis
cuSs the subject. The nature Of Gen.
Simmons business seemed 10 be- 10 in
ducc the Pope to prop up the labOrng
and falling cause OF the anti-Irish party.
Every one regarded the matter with
miSgivings and suspicion. with doubt
and Indignation. and even with disgust.
1t was time the public mind was
awakened to an attitude of vigilance.

How Turkish Prisoners are Treated in

by l,Sll prisoners, or over - TO a cell. As
rule the unfortunate victims are sent
there TO be confined from one TO ten years
each: but so great are their sufferings,
arising from the barbarity Of their keepers
and the total disregard by the latter of all
sanitary laws, that one rarely outliyes five
years.

would have proved useful TO those in pow

HE MAY NOT DIE.
An Effort to Save Kemmler on the Ground
of Insanity.

New York, August 2.-The EreniHg
SUMS Auburn correspondent says that bets
can be had in Auburn that Kemmler
will never be executed. He claims that
Kemmler is either demented or is pre-
tending to be, and that War
den Durston has undoubtedly laid
the matter before Governor Hill, and sug-
gested the propriety of an inquiry into
Kemmler's mental condition. As TO the
chances OF postponement, there is one very
significant fact Warden Durston has not
yet sent out a single invitation TO commit
teemen 10 be present. The law requires
that ti-ese invitations shall he cut AZ least
three days before the date of the execu-
tiOn.
The Warden will not return to Auburn
until tomorrow evening at the very earli-
est. He could not get the invitations off
before Sunday night. This would mean
that the execution cannot take place before
Wednesday, and it also suggests lurking
suspicion in the Warden's mind that it will
not take place at all.

New HAVEN, Com, August 2.-During
the last few days numerous complaints
have been made to City Attorney Daily by
Young men who have been publicly horse
whipped by an enraged young woman. The
trouble dates back about two months ago,
when a Young man named Frederick
Miller and a young man named Julia Cur
tin, whose sister is the wife of Miller, APP
peared before City Attorney Daily and
asked for warrant for the ar
rest of one William Bren-
nan, on charges preferred by
Miss Curtin. Brennan, learning that a
warrant was being sought for his arrest,
suddenly left town. Miss Curtin next
heard number of stories were being cir
culated about her character. Last Thurs
day night Beck Miller, chum of Bren-
mans. was standing in front of ST. Johns
church when Julia, accompanied by her
brother-in-in-law, appeared. Without
word of warning the girl drew rawhide
from under her cloak and slashed Miller
across the face. When Miller tried TO de-
fend himself the girls brOther-in-law
Jumped in and held Miller while
Julia slashed him 10 her hearts content.
Miller then went to the city attorney
for warrant for the arrest of the girl and
her companion, but MIR. DAILY told hlm he
had got what he deserved John Gallagher
another youth who had circulated stories
about Miss Curtin, was also vigorously
rawhided last Saturday. The girl asked
Gallagher why he had been talking about
her. The reply was not exactly satisfac-
tory, and she struck out with the whip and
raised heavy welt across his face. When
Gallagher attempted to resist she drew
revolver and Gallagher betook himself to
flight in short order. Miss Curtin is built
like an Amazon, and says she will cowhide
any and all persons who have circulated
