means what it says; it is a tiny cup
of silver, plain or gilt lined, and holds
just a teaspoonful. From the bottom
depends a tiny corkscrew. This is
intended to fix III the cork of the med

have been successful had not persons
passing by frightened the woman,
who left a large can, half filed with
a high explosive, and ran toward the
lake. The can was discovered a few
minutes later, but the finders were
afraid TO touch it and called Mr..
Irwin out. He picked up the can
and, on examining its contents, dis
covered that it was more than half
filled with giant powder. In all
there was about ten pounds of the
deadly explosive. The amount was
sufficient, if exploded, to have blown
the building to atoms.

All last week the planet Mars vas
nearer to the earth than it has been
for fifteen years past or will be for
fifteen years to come. All good tele-
scopes have been pointed Marsward
for the past.two weeks, for Mars is
the most interesting of all the planets
because there are scientific reasons
for the belief that it is inhabited by
intelligent beings. Certain long,
straight lines upon its surface are
believed to be canals. Mars has its
atmosphere, rain, snow, oceans. con-
tinents, rivers and mountains. and
even two little moons which, though
much smaller than ours, are only a
few miles away, and may therefore
serve Just as well as lamentations
and promoters of Marian courtships.
Elaborate preparations have been
madn 1t the f3mouS Lick OhSerya-
tory for a close inspection of Mars
during this neighborly visit and
some interesting and important
results are looked for.

INDJANIANS AT FISTICUFFS.
Fight of Harrison and Blaine Hoosiers Over
Banner.


Banner.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, June 6.-There came
near being an actual physical contest between
the Harrison and Blaine people this morning.
For the first time the Fort Wayne and anti
Harrison republicans put in appearance.
They began work at once. Headquarters were
established in the West House directly under
the regular Indiana Harrison headquarters.
The ''kickers" put up big banner, the most
conspicuous one in Minneapolis, on which was
printed Indiana Blaine headquarters
This banner made some of the Harrison men
furious RhOdy Shiels of the Harrison heutsn-
ants organized a arty and cut the banner
down. Then the .'kickers' received reinforce
ments and made onslaught, recovering the
banner from Shiels crowd
1t was put back in place again. while a big
crowd waited for further hostilities.
In the meantime cooler heads succeeded in
restoring order and the obnoxious banner still
hangs alOft.
The anti-Harrison Indiana men got Mr..
Shiels in their headquarters and stood him up
ing as il seldom falls to the lot of q man to re-
ceive one insta1lment.
Shiels broio from this, and four or five Indi-
anians folk through the crowded corridor
heapinS I'M. ions upon him.
Some Blaine men from other states Joined
them. All the while Mr.. Shies was impioring
them to be quiet
Lets have peace" he said. ''Do not lett
quarrel"
The anti-Harrison men would not be molli-
fed. but kept shouting: ..You have run over us
long enough. You folks have, and you can't do
it any more. You canno: carry Indiana if you
nominate your man."

ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER.
He Proceeds to Answer a Charge Made by
Mr.. John NJ. LangstOn.

Mr.. John NJ. LangstOn.
Attorney General Miller's attention was to-
day called to the report of the speech Of John
NJ. LanSston in Chicago on the evening of June
3. In the report of that speech in the Chicago
Inter ocean it is said: SIT was charged by the
speaker against the Attorney General that he
had not instituted single prosecution against
the perpetrators of negro outrages in the SOUTH
although the case of a colored railway mail
clerk who was taken from the mail car and
lynched had been specially reported to him."
Mr.. Miller said: mo such case was ever re-
ported to the Department of Justice and as l
believe, no such lynching ever occurred. So
far as l am able to recall. the only attack upon
q railway mail clerk reported to the depart
ment since l became Attorney General was the
one made on +. q. Blvens. young colored
man, near the town of Aberdeen. Miss. on the
Goth of March. 1890. In that case four young
men, thinking it not allowable for "a colored
manto run as a railway mail clerk on the Hi:
nois Central Railroad fired several shots into
the mail car, none of them. however
hitting Mr.. Blivens. The United States dis
trict attorney promptly instituted an investiga-
ton. had the four young men indicted. three
OF them were convicted on pleas of not guilty
and one on plea of guilty, two were sentenced
to the penitentiary for three Years and one to
imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine
oI sooU Inc one VINO pleaded guilty was let
off easily. II Mr.. Langston knows Of any other
case than this, he certainly and should
give name. time and place. The trouble with
MIR. LangstOn and with others who
complain that the federal government does not
prosecute wrongs inflicted upon colored men
is that they fail to realize that, under the con-
structlon of the constitutional amendments by
the supreme Court. the wrongs, complained of
are generally not violations of federal rights,
and consequently prosecutions therefor cannot
be sustained in the federal courts or by the
federal government"

Mr.. CUMMINGS AGAINST 1T.


Mr.. Cummings said that a republican Con-
gress had given six days for the consideration
of the force bill. and yet the democratic Con-
gress refused more than fifteen min
utes to discuss a bill which was more
grossly unconstitutional than the force
bill. 1t was fit that this measure should be put
through ut dead of night. when churchyards
yawn and he'll itself breathes out contagion to

Mr.. Henderson Uowa) declared that this was
a battle between the great money centers and
the great means of production. This same con-

provided for revenue. with incidental
protection, and that was broad enough for all.

terry, whose victims were voluntary. Would it
refuse TO strike down the greater evil. whose

Mr.. Hatch, in the minute which was reserved
for him, said he had fought for his honest con-
vlctlons- The bill was now before the House.

The motion of Mr. Hatch was agreed to-

was passed.
Instantly Mr.. Blanchard (Iowa) was on his
feet and recognized by the Speaker.
Mr.. Cooper (lnd.) interpolated a motion to
adjourn. but the Speaker stated that he had not
been recognized. Because gentleman rose and
asked for recognition was no reason why he
should be recognized
