Phoebe Cousins Suit.

CHICAGO, July 6...The climax in the
suit of Phoebe Cousins to retain the
secretaryship of the board of lady man
ayers of the worlds fair, was reached
this afternoon in Judge Blodgett's
court This case has been in hearing all
day and Colonel Robert Rae, attorney
for Miss Cousins, was just closing an
eloquent appeal on behalf of his client
Half dozen of Miss Cousins lady
friends had sat spellbound by the elO-
auence of her counsel. Among the la
dies were Augusta Kimball, Mrs. Cous-
ms, Miss Cousins mother, Miss Bullin,
DR.. Lucy White, daughter OF Judge
White, and several other ladies. No
sooner had the speaker finished talking
than all the ladies began to applaud
with their hands.
The hand clapping made a great
noise in the almost empty court room.
1t was interrupted instantly by Judge
Blodgett, who grew red in the face and
said: ''Stop it, stop it, Mr.. Marshal;
clear the room" Deputy Marshal
George Jones fastened from his seat
and advanced toward the women.
Walking boldly up toward the row OF
ladies and waving his hand toward the
door, told them to Get out: get out. !"
All the ladies rose, even to Miss Cous-
ms aged mother. Ex-Judge Waite
was on his feet in an instant Your
honor" he said in panied surprise at
the courts action, ''you can see that
applause was only the impulse of the
moment" 1t don't NATTER" the judge
replied.

Mills for Speaker.

CHICAGO, July GA Washington
special says that Roger Q. Mills of Tex
as, will soon start the campaign for the
speakership on the aggressively west
ern platform as opposed to the conserv-
alive notions of the eastern democracy.
He is to make speech in Mississippi
within two or three weeks, and it is
said that he will then boldly announce
his platform. He will be in the fight
until it is clearly shown that he cannot
get majority of the caucus. In that
contingency there will be chance for
Springer to fall heir to Mills strength,
for Texas will not permit the prize to
go to Crisp, Mcmillan, or any other
western man. In view of this fact some
of the leaders are making efforts to heal
the breach between Springer and Nor
rison. The latter has still strong in
fluence with the democratic congress
men, and he can do his fellow illinoisan
a great deal of good il he starts in to
mold Mills dough into Springer cake.
Springer's friends, however, will be ex-
pected to do what they can toward
shaping presidential sentiment for Nor
rison, who is said to be the candidate
of the Carlisle wing of the tariff re-
formers.

Reduced its Rates.

LONDON, July 6.-Bank of England
this morning further reduced its mini
mum rate of discount to q per cent.
NEW YORK, July 6.-ReductiOns in
the Bank of England rates has been
practically forced upon the directors.
In London the money market condl-
lions are similar to those prevailing
here. There is not, by any means an
actual glut of money but there is abso-
lutely no demand for speculative pur-
poses. This has fixed the open market
rates for call loans below one per cent.
and recently even three months bills
have been freely discounted at II or
less. To maintain minimum bank
rate at twice this figure would merely
give imaginary protection to London at
the actual expense of country banks
which are now beginning their busy
season and which usually follows the
official money rates of the London de-
pository. In other words the directors
of the Bank of England have learned
that shere are elements in the situation
that must 5e considered, other than
frightened London bankers.

A Good Move Started.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The Illinois hui
name society has undertaken to uproot
the padrone system in this city. Of
ficers claim to have discovered a large
number of children from Italy, some
bought, others kidnapped, are being
brought into this city aud farmed out
to men who have sent them out to beg.
In some cases it is claimed that these
infants are dosed with drugs in order to
give them the appearance OF sickness,
which is often an important factor in
their successful plea for aims.

Something at Atlantic City.
The PENNSYLVANIA RAILROADS
FACILITIES FOR GETTING THERE.

The spring season which is just now
drifting into summer has been the
most prosperous in all the history of
Atlantic City. Never have SO many
people been attracted to its great
beach from all sections Of the land, and
never have its hostelries been so we'll
equipped for providing comfortable
and attractive accommodations In
the present, which is usually a breath
ing time between seasons, visitors still
continue to pour into the city, so that
when the summer hosts come they will
find good-sized garrison already in
possession of the fortress. There will
be ample room for all however, and
the indications foreshadow the great
est summer season ever known. Prep
arations are being made for it now.
New hotels, of the lesser grade, are
building, new cottages are springing
up on heretofore vacant ground, and
enlargement and improvement of ex-
isting structures is the order of the day.
The great boardwalk, now known by
the more dignihed and appropriate
title of the Ocean Promenade, has
withstood all the storms OF winter and
is in perfect condition, the streets are
being improved, new facilities for a
musement are under way at the Inlet,
and every one Of the city's $1,000 peo-
pie appear to be doing something to
make the great resort more charming.
The facilities for reaching it are be-
ing developed with a view to the great
strain to which the summer traffic will
subject them. The Pennsylvania Rail
roads double lines from Market Street,
Philadelphia, are to be operated on a
plan which will yield the greatest speed
and promptness Of movement, while
guaranteeing absolute safety and COM
fort. The tracks are in excellent con.
dition, the rolling stock of the most
approved kind, and the management
keenly alive to the best interests of
the travelling public. Not only will a
well-adjusted service of fast and we'll
equipped trains be maintained between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, but
the through New York service, which
has accomplished so much in securing
travel from the East, will be continued.
Apart from these facilities excursions
of special or general character will
be arranged from time to time from
all points on the Pennsylvania System
at low rates.
By these means the residents of the
remote as we'll as the near points will
enjoy every opportunity of spending
some time by the sea.
Atlantic City opens her gates in
welcome to all, and the Pennsylvania
Railroad and its connections is the
highway that leads to the sea.

HERRING RAISES A ROW.
THE COLUMBIA SENATOR SAILS INTO
THE REPUBLICANS.

The senate chamber was the scene
of an animated debate on Tuesday
which took every Senator by surprise
except Mr.. Herring, of Columbia, the
youngest member Of that body, who
precipitated it. The Senate had
scarcely been called to order before
Senator Herring launched forth in a
speech, which proved to be one of the
ablest delivered at this session 1t
was severe criticism of the course of
the majority in refusing to confirm the
more important nominations of Gov
ernor Pattison. Many authorities
were cited to show that the Republi-
can stand was untenable.
The young Senator was defiant. and
declared that the minority were in a
position to dictate terms, and that they
would not be satisfied until the oppo-
sition had made an unconditional sur
render. His Democratic colleagues
were as much surprised as the Repub-
lican Senators by his attitude, and
Messrs. Lloyd and Green tried to mol
lify the partisan feeling which the
speech excited among the Republicans.
1t had become pretty generally under
stood that the suspended appointments
were to be confirmed in the near fu-
ture, but the political onslaught of
Senator Herring caused a radical
change in the situation.
Senator Goblin hinted that the diff
fculties between the majority of the
Senate and the Governor were about
being adjusted but the bitter speech
of the Senator from Columbia had
made settlement undesirable at this
time. Senators Goblin and Packer di-
rected their oratorical shafts at Mr..
Herring, but he stood his ground gal
lan,ly. Senator Robinson indulged in
a lot Of pleasantries and indicated that
there was nothing to be gained by
hanging up the Governors appoint
ments, as he could reappoint the same
men at the end Of the session.
A motion offered by Mr.. Herring to
60 into executive session for the pur,
pose Of considering the suspended
nominations was voted down by a
party vote.
The discussion on the Governors
appointments was followed by an in
teresting debate on the disposition
made of the Baker ballot reform bill in
its recommittal to the Senate commit
tee on elections. In an interview with
Senator Grouse, the chairman, it was
stated by that gentleman that the &C
ton had been taken to enable Sena-
tors Mcdonald, of Lackawanna, and
Monaghan, of Schuylkill, to make a
mendments to the bill.
