FIGHT WITH A BULL.
A New York Farmers Narrow
Escape from Death.
Saved by the Efforts of His
Wife and Daughter.
Russian Competition in Foreign
Pork Markets.
Terrible Fight with IA Bull.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July lT.-Mr.
Walter Shattuck. 4 farmer near here, has
had running in his pasture a 3-vear-old
bull. On Monday the bull began rush
ing up and down the fence line of the
pasture believing at the passers by.
When Mr.. Shattuck. armed with a
strong club, started to drive the animal
back. it turned and attacked him. 1t
knocked him down and stood over him,
treading his body with ITS hoofs and try
ing to gore him. Mr.. Shattuck's wife
and daughter saw the attack and ran to
his rescue. When the daughter arrived
her father had succeeded in grasping
with one hand the ring in the bulls nose
int with the other the animals tongue,
He called to his daughter not to come
near, but to run back to the barn for a
pitchfork. The wife now reached the
scene aud pluckily grabbing the animal
by the horns aided her husband to direct
the brute's blows away from his body and
into the ground. Mr.. Shattuck, who
was still on his back unable to rise, was
by this time nearly stripped of his cloth
ing. Blood streamed from his face
where a horn had gored him.
His chest was n mass OF bruises,
two ribs were broken and
his limbs were badly lacerated b, the ami

twenty minutes siuce the terrible fight
began when the daughter arrived with a

Then, with all her strength, she
held the infuriated animal to the ground
while the mother dragged the father from
beneath the brute's hoois.
But before Mr.. Shattuck had succeeded
in regaininG his feet the animal gave a
lurch, the steel ring broke from his nose
and he was once more free. Then for an
instant the three stood expecting his

ENGLISH POLITICS.
Salisbury Declares in Favor of
Female Suffrage.
Other Reforms that COnserva-
tiVes Will Father.
A Member of the House of
Lords Suspended.

Copyrighted, 1891. by N. Y. Associated Press.
LONDON, July l7.-Nothing has re-
Gently excited the inner Conservative
circle so much as Lord S~alisbury's
declaration that female suffrage ought to
form a part of the coming electoral re-
form. The council of the Conservative
association, at an informal meeting today,
decided to intimate to Lord Salisbury
that the party was so divided on the
question that it would be unwise to recog-
nize it as a Conservative principle.
In spite of Salisbury's ~allusion that the
life OF parliament will not expire until
August, 1898, the electoral agents are
preparing for a dissolution in the spring.
Apart rom the Irish local government
bill, the Conservative platform will in-
clude a reform bill. amending the distribu-
ton of seats by reducing the Welsh and
Irish representation, slightly increasing
the Scotch and giving large advantages to
the English representation. The min
listers have Endorsed the leading features
OF Chamberlain's age assurance scheme,
thus committing the party to further de-
velopments on the lines OF state socialism,
and the Redistribution of seats will be a
strong card in the game.
The suspension of a peer, a rare event
in the upper house of parliament, occurred
tonight in the case OF the erratic Lord
Denman. Lord Denman had given no.
tice of a motion for the return OF the
number of DAYS on which the late Lord
Granville had attended the house, and
also the days on which he, himself, had
attended during Lord Granville lifetime.
Whether the motion was inspired by
sheer crankiness or by malice Lord Den
man was not allowed to explain. Lord
Salisbury, %interposing. said the motion
could only be described as u~nseemly. He
moved that Lord Denman should not be
heard during the remainder OF the session.
Lord Kimberly concurred and Salisbury's
motion was agreed to. Lord Denman
''sloped," looking daggers at Salisbury.
The sensational rnmors that Mrs, Par
nell has in her possession compromising
correspondence with Gladstone, which she
obtained a while ago when Parnell was in
kilmainham Jail, have a basis of truth.
She was in constant communication with
Chamberlain, Morley and others, but not
with Gladstone. If Parnell chooses to
publish these letters they will disclose
chiefly the keen political craft of Mrs.
O'Shea.
Sir John Fender, speaking at \ meet
ing. of the Direct Gable stated
that there had been a positive decline in
Atlantic telegraphy since the operation of
the Mckinley law. He did not solely
contribute that decline to the Mckinley
law. 1t was partly due to the depression
in trade and to competition. Eventually
the United States would discover that
they suffered more thap auI bVd' eise

WASHINGTON, July IA bulletin re-
latIng to the production of gold and silver
in the United States during the calendar
year 1889 was issued from the census office

beautiful flowers of every hue and color,
the proud editors moved while
on either side the natives turned out to
welcome them and many houses and

This evening the session was a business
one. The president delivered his annual
address. 1t was a grand appeal to the
editors and publishers to organize more
strongly and for the establishment of a
national headquarters.
Mr.. Stephens suggested many valuable
cooperative advantages which might be
developed from the establishment of ma
tional headquarters.
Mr.. A. H. Siegtried, eastern business
manager of the Chicago NeUs, delivered a
lengthy though very meaty address, criti-
cizing the present method of advertising

and the class of advertisements inserted,
and OF the receptions used in advertising
and misreprcsenting circulation. His ad-
dress was from a business standpoint but
ended with an appeal to the moral senses.

arrived TODAY in two special trains from

at the union depot by a committee of

Press Association. who welcomed them to

up to 10 o'clock many Of the delegates,
especially those who were early on the
ground, appeared rather lonely and. some
what out of place. 1t seemed that no

the only object of the meeting was for
pleasure with no pleasure in sight. Now
it is different. Ali is hustle and hurry

attend to all the business sessions without
foregoing some of the many pleasurable
