A pair of Mr.. FrenzePs mules made their
accustomed effort to escape from the LOU

terdsy morning. Yesterday mornings
scenes and incidents at the Louisiana barn
indicate an increase rather than dImInu-
tion of interest IN the cause of the strikers.
The attendance outnumbered that of any
former morning nearly two to one. The
daily attempt" was slow in materializIng.
but the crowd was good natured. and dis
ported itself as though ont for holiday. 1t
was $50 o'clock when the doors swung

Griffin in the role of Jehu. Mr.. Griffin
cracked his whip. as the crowd yelled and
crowded about the doors. The mules trot-
ted out. but they got no further than the
door Griffin maintained an unruffied front.
and gently urged the mules out, but be
might as we'll have tried TO drive them up
the side of building. Superintendent
Lewis gave Griffin and the mules the en-
eonragement of his presence. but
this did not help the matter.
Finally the crowd unhitched the

placed behind. The strikers then lifted

Opera-house, tonight w. E. Gibbs. the
kansas Demon" and Dennis Gallagher, of
Buffalo. engaged in a wrestling match that
came near ending in tragedy. The match
was best two in three falls. Greco Roman
style. The men were in prime condition.
and the first bout ended the contest. The
struggle lasted twenty minutes with
hoDors even. Gibbs got a strangle hold on
Gallagher, but the Buffalo man. by the ex-
ercise of wonderful strength, broke the
hold. In the subsequent effort Gallagher
got his man by the neck. and tried
to place his shoulders on the carpet.
Gibbs squlrmed partly ont of the bad posi-
tion he was in, and then Gallagher clutched
him about the neck. with q hang hold.
With the tierceness of an Evan Lewis. he
squeezed Gibbs's windpipe unit! the latter.

tinucd bis choking until Gibbs became
unconscious and lay upon the floor in q

the records of the Office were unimpaircd.
and would show the cause for each re-
moval. 1t was his rule that cause must be
assigned for all removals. He did not re-
member that In 1889 he had removed q large
force of special examiners.
Mr.. Pay son said he would show that the
men were not removed. but merely called
in from the field because the funds were
practically exhausted.
Mr.. Enloe said he would show by some OF
the men themselves that they were removed.
The Secretary was next asked about the
rerating which occasioned so much COM
ment early in tho administration of the
Pension Office. He said that the response
bIlity originally rested on Commissioner
Black, and when he found Commissioner
Tanner was proceeding TO carry into effect
his predecessors ruling to degree highly
injurious TO the government, he promptly
stopped 1t. He thought 1t in ntolerable that
employees should undertake TO rerate them
selves. ana he made them feel the weight of
his authority. Those reratings were not
for large amounts each month. but as they
went back n long time the aggregate was
considerable. MIR. Noble said he wished to
say, so far as tie efficiency of Commission
er Raum was concerned. that he thought
he was running the pension bureau with
great efficiency.

Mckinley Makes q Prediction.

new 1Ork fIcss
In his speech at Detroit. on Washington's
birthday. Governor Mckinley. of Ohio, de-
clared that the Democrats will not be able
TO change q page of the present tariff law
in ten years. In that period the Republic
ans themselves will be prepared TO make
such a revision as time and the conditions
OF trade may demonstrate to be necessary.
he remarked further that it would
take twenty-five years on the plan
mapped out by the present Democratic
ways and means committee to change any
portion of the bill. Governor McKinley's
prediction seems justified by his citation of
the fact that William X. Morrison. of Illi-
n0is, made the attempt to revise the tariff.
item by item. and that his face has not
been seen in Con gress since; that Mr.. Cleve-
land went sheep. shearing in 1888 and came
back shorn, and that Mr.. Mills by advo-
eating the complete overturning OF the
present law lost the speakership and like
wise the leadership of his party in the
House. The declaration of the Governor
that there has never been a sqnare cottest
between protection and free trade in this
country where protection has not won is
true to history. and his prediction may be
looked upon as q political axiom.
