DISCUSSING THE NEW RULES.
Remarks by SIoNIiIIin and others-Recd
on the Alliance.

Remarks by HIcMillin and others-Recd
on the Alliance.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The house yes
terday continued the debate on the report
of the committee on rules. McMillin was
the first speaker. He, of course, favored
the rules as reported, and was particularly
vigorous in his demand for the adoption of
that clause that provides for riders" on
appropriation bills. Such a clause had
saved the government much money in the
past, he said, and would do the same again.
Reed was the next to take the floor He
declared that the rider clause was uu-
constitutional, and then proceeded to pay
his respects to the Alliance members, who
had given him turning over in Wednes-
days debate.
Have n Good Deal to Learn.
He stated that the members of the ALI
ancs party had good deal to learn. Mi
norities were not always political minori-
ties, and a large portion of the business of
the house was conducted on non-partisau
lines. Tho Alliance party wanted to re
deem the country and make of it great
and glorious people, such as the Alliance
men themselves. Laughter. He advo-
Gated the reference of bills by handing
them to the speaker, which would save
time The morning hour, as provided by
the committee on rules, was a death trap
for legislation, and where a member could
filibuster any measure to death and send
it to place more musty than the tomb

A Humorous Speech from the Member

n humorous speech from the Mem Der
from Mississippi.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-After the gem
eral debate on the new rules had closed
yesterday Allen of Mississippi got the
floor and referred to the CHILEAN imbroglio
in a humorous vein. He said that his eX-
perience in the civil war had not daunted
his courage, but it had made him decided
ly more cautious. Laughter Some of
his Confederate brethren seemed to feel
that their patriotism was somewhat i'm
paired and they wanted to repair it by go
ing to war with Chilli. In Mississippi if n
man were to open a correspondence with
another and then publish his correspond =
ence before receiving an answer he would
be persona non grata. Laughter

THE AMERICAN MOB
Seems to Have Run Afoul OF

A LYNOHIEG EPISODE IN TEXAS

Finds Its Way Into the Supreme Court
Interesting Details of the Case-Point.
from the Debate on the New Code oil
Rules for the House-The Humorous
Man from Mississippi Raises a Laugh
Over the CHILEAN Incident-Census Fig
ures on Mortgage Indebtedness.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-Argument in a
case of some romantic and legal interest
was concluded in the supreme court of the
United States yesterday. The case is that
of Eugene Logan, Sam Waggoner and
Marion Wallace, plaintiffs in error, VS.. the
United States from the United States cir
cult court Of the northern district of
Texas. Briefly stated, the case is as fol-
lows: a family named NARROW, consist
ing of five brothers and their mother, led
nomadic life in the Indian Territory and
in Texas. They were arrested near Ora
ham Tex, charged with the larceny OF
horses in Indian Territory Being indicted
and released on bail the family settled
near Graham.
The Inevitable Mob Appears.
One Sunday the sheriff of Young county
and his deputy visited them, and during
the difficulty which was started by the of
ficers Boone NARROW killed the sheriff
Boone escaped and the rest of the family
were placed in Jail by their bondsmen. The
feeling against the Marlows was very
strong, and a mob visited them in Jail and
attempted to lynch them. The mob was
repulsed, but two days later. while being
removed for safety to another jail, they
were again attacked, and two OF the broth
ers were killed. Each of the men killed
was shackled to another brother.
Made "a Brave Defense.
Standing back to back the surviving
brothers kept the mob of twenty men a
bay and finally managed to escape by sew
ering the feet of the dead men to which
they were shackled Two of the mob were
killed. The surviving Marlows were fol-
lowed and again attacked. but they OBJ
tanned safety in jail in neighboring
county. When the men We're attacked
they were in the custody of United States
marshals, and the point at issue in the
case is whether Logan, WaCCOuer and
Waldo indicted for the attempted lynch
ing, were guilty Of conspiracy against the
United States in attempting to take pris-
Oners from the United States officers.
What the Government Wants.
The government seeks to have this ques-
ton decided afiirmatively, so the case may
he tried in United States court. The in
dicted men contend that they must he

Texas. The question i a most interesting
one, and has attracted some attention in
legal circles Solicitor General Taft ap-
peared for the United States and Mr.
