Vest started for Washington last night.
Before leaving he said In an interview that

in reforming the tariff and would not
smash the Mckinley law a. q blacksmith
would destroy watch. Free trade. he
said, was impossible, for the only proper
way to raise money TO carry on the govern.
ment was by a customs tariff. The tariff
would be reduced along conservative lines
living to the common people. The Senator
ridicnled the idea of nn extra session of
Congress to deal with the tariff. "Mr.
Cleveland" said he, lis too levei-headed
for any such nonsense. He does not believe
in cavalry charge upon the existing sys-
TEN of taxation and finance, and he will
proceed slowIy.n

There was really nothing peculiar about
my case of the cholera except the fearful
fright used to get at o'clock In the
morning, when, myself in terrible pain,
l would hear the "boom boom boom l''
OF the collins that were being rolled down
the stairways Of the school for quick in
terment. l was wondering most OF the
time how it would feel being shaken up
in box on those terrible stairs. My
symptoms were, as / said before, like all
cholera victims. 1t came with a terrific
headache followed by awful cramps in the
stomach, continued weakening discharges
and awful vomiting until there was abso-
lutely nothing left of me but skin and
bones. The cure at that time was always
begun with an attempt to deaden the pain
by putting the patient into sleep. But
the opium had little effect and calomel
was simply powerless It all depends as
it does to-day, on the general health and
strength Of the body and on its ability to
stand being racked with pain for from six
to forty eight hours. II. OscHKNRATK.

when | add that three men were left at

az far away from the scourge as we
could get them. Well, we went to bed
each night feeling entirely sure that we
would wake up during the night with an
attack of cholera. The one preventive
advised by physicians at that time was
brandy and lots of it. So, when we
three editors went to bed, it was, in the
parlance of to-day, "well loaded" In
fact, each of us made it point to eat a
good meal, avoiding fresh fruits and
vegetables, and then to fill ourselves up
with the very best cognac we could get.
i had followed this prescribed course one
night as usual, and woke up at l O'Clock
in the morning with a well defined case
OF cholera. The cramps simply doubled
me up. Words absolutely fail to describe
the acute suffering of this intestinal dis.

the house at once, and then began treat

returned few days later to assist in
nursing me to complete recovery she
failed to recognize in the emaciated,
careworn, bloodless victim the husband
she had left few weeks before, strong
and healthy.

\ III. Frsel Tells How Near He Came TO Re

My experience with the cholera dates
back to 1885, when the dread scourge had
reached the West and was making itself
apparent on the steamers plying the
Mississippi and its tributaries. l had
occasion III that year to go from Memphis
to Louisville by boat. We were on our
way to New York, where the cholera had
abated, and which everybody believed to
be the only safe ground in America at
that time. We numbered about 200 ON
board the vessel and were two days going
up the mouth of the Ohio. There the
cholera struck us and the people on board
began to die off by tens and twenties
daily. There was some odd regulations
enforced at that time which prevented the
depositing of bodies of cholera stricken
victims in the Ohio river. l imagine IL
was because traffic on the river was very
heavy at that time and it was felt that
when the bodies rose to the surface tbey
would spread the contagion to the people
on the small crafts as well as to those on
the larger vessels, and that was why we

WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-It is said that
Senator Hill has been rendered the port
folio of State by President-eiect Cleve-

give to the leading opponent the port
folio.
United States Senator Hill was ap-
preached while in New York by close
friend of the Presdent-elect. As result
Mr.. Cleveland met Mr.. Hill later on in
Baltimore, where all differences were
healed and the President-elect in person
rendered the Senator the Secretaryship of
State.
This would result in the following
changes in New York State: Gov
Flower and Hon. Edward Murphy, ir.,
will both be sent to the United States
Senate, placing Lieut.-G Gov. Sheehan in
the Governors chair.
New YoRK, Dec. 6.-President-elect
Grover Cleveland was apparently up to
his eyes in business when a reporter called
to ascertain the truth Of the announce
ment that Senator David b. Hill had been
rendered the portfolio Of Secretary Of

He sent down word that he was too
busy to be seen and refused absolutely to
grant the reporter a personal interview.
In answer, however, to the paragraph an
