Especial Corrsspopdence.l
WARRINGTON, Nov. 8.-No more interest
ing and exciting debate than that which has
Just come to an end in the senate has ever
been seen in the American congress. 1t has
been indeed a remarkable debate-re-
Inarkable for It's length, earnestness, occa-
sional flashes of eloQuence, sensational In
cidents and frequent personalities of a bit
tor and unparliamentary nature. For nine
weeks the senate fought over the question
Of repeal, sitting every day but Sunday,
nesting for the most part an hour or two
earlier In the morning than IL its custom,
and on several occasions prolongfng It's ses-
sion throughout the night.
The product Of ali this disp6tatjon IL
seen in that much abused but recently very
interesting daily publtcation, The, Congress
sional Record. Fer hine weeks sthc en-
ployees Of The Record have besn perhaps
the hardest worked, MEN in the capital. So
much speechmaking has rendered it neces-
sary for them to work over hours, and even
now they are only oatching up With the
task imposed upon them by the food Of
oratory. The Record has now reached its
three thousand five hundredth page, and
four-lfths of 1t Is devoted to the debate in
the senate. During this time the house
has contributed but a small share of the
words which made up this enormous aggre-
gate. On the Goth Of August, when the
senate took up the repeal bill. The Record
had reached only its eight hundred and
flftieth page, and fully one-half of this had
been contributed by the senate in its dis
cussions Of the financial situation which
preceded the debate proper.
In all the senate has filled fully 5000 pages
with its wisdom concerning the finances.
Think what a book these 5000 pages
makel It will have to be divided into three
or four bound volumes Of Thu Record, each
volume three or four inches thick. Each
page contains 1900 words, or the equivalent
of a column and a half in the average news
paper. This gives US a grand total OF some
thing like 10000 0 of words--8,OO 900 of
words over a question on which nearly ev-
cry senator had made up his mind as to how
he would vote nine weeks ago.. Imagine II
you can a newspaper large enough to en-
brace the whole Of this debate in the senate.
It would consist Of $50 pages, with seven
columns to the page, or more than 90
numbers Of the average eight page news
paper bound together in one mighty whole.
Fun For the Galleries.

number Of times that Mr.. Stewart adj

LOVE OR RELIGION 7.
Ex-ATTORNEY GENERAL GAR
LANDS DAUGHTER SUICIDES.
She shoots Herself Through tho Heart
The True Cause OF Her Action May
Never BE Revealed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-Miss Daisy
Garland. aged "A years, daughter of ex
Attorney General Garland, committed
suicide by shooting herself through the
heart. There was nothing In the lady's
actions yesterday morning to indicate any
mental disturbance. She conversed
pleasantly with the family in regard to a
theater party which she was to give last
nisu,. . o..s ~ 4er room,
and mt luncheo.. time her brother went to
call her. The young lady was found lying
on the floor dead. The body was still
warm, indicating that the shot had been
fired only a short time previously.
From the position In which Miss Gar.
lands body was found IL is evident that
she had stood In front of large mirror
and taken deliberate aim at her heart.
She had taken the precaution to turn OH
all the gas jets in the room, so that, in
case the bullet failed in its deadly work,
the gas would smother her into the sleep
of death.
The ex-attorney general had left the
house for his Office, and it was an hour or
more before his daughters awful death
was known TO him He was so completely
overcome that he could scarcely stand.
The rest of the family were almost
prostrated by the shock.
The true cause Of Miss Garland's self
inflicted death may never be known. She
had a secret of some kind that preyed con-
stantly upon her mind, but it is said none
of her friends knew what 1t was, and IL is
probable the secret had died with her. II
was thought, said an intimate friend, by
some of her associates that she had had a
love affair which had turned out badly
She had been crossed In love. IL this were
true, the family or her friends professed
not to know who the man In the case Is.
No one in the house heard the pistol
shot, nor did any one hear her fall to the
floor. Her family relations aud surround
ings were the most pleasant. She was 9
great favorite with her father, who sup
piled her with everything that comfort de.
manded and studied to make her happy.
Miss Garland recently joined the Catholic
church, and has been greatly agitated over
her new religion. She was very popular
girl. She did not figure prominently in
society, as her taste did not run in that
direction. She was not old enough to go
into society until the latter part Of the
former Cleveland administration.

Died From Natural Causes.

A woman named Josephine Maude
Virtue, "a yelrs Of age. died suddenly in
the apartments occupied by William
Davis in the Baker block at $50 last even
ing. She had been ailing for some time.
1t will be remembered that the woman
has but recently been discharged from
the hospital where tumor weighing
twenty-five pounds was removed from
her, and 1t is thought that death resulted
fron the weakening effects attending Il G
operation. DR.. Carver at ended the
woman and states that death resulted
from the fleets of a severe cold, causing
peritonitis.

WHISKEY EXPLODED.
1T CAUSED A HALF MILLION DOL
LAR FIRE IN PITTsBURG.
workmen Were Forced to Creep Out
Upon window siiIs and Hang by Their
Hands Until the Firemen Arrived

PITfsBURo. Oct. 2s The explosion of
barrel of whisky in the big warehouse OF
the Chautauqua Lake Ice company caused
the destruction of over s50O,000 worth of
property and serious injury to eight per-
sons. A score or more Of others sustained
slight cuts and bruises, or were trampled
IN by the mob surrounding the burning
buildings.
II was l:20 p. m. when a number of the
employees on the third floor of the Cha
tauqua Lake Ice company's building was
startled by loud report, and almost in an
instant the large room was ablaze. The
men quickly gave the alarm and then
started for the stairs, but the flames had
already cut off their retreat, and the only
means of exit left them were the windows,
30 feet from the ground.
BY this time the heat was so intense
that they were forced to creep out upon
the window sills and hang by their hands
until the fire department. arrived. The
flames burned their hands and faces, but
they hung there until the firemen got lad
ders and brought them down.
At 2:30 the walls on the Mulberry alley
side fell In with crash and few minutes
later the eastern wall came down. The
debris buried long row Of tenements In
the alley and three story brick dwelling
On Thirteenth street. The tenements
were occupied by 20 families, but fortu-
nately they had been deserted some time
before the walls fell In. The ruins took
fire Immediately and it was dark before the
fire was completely under control and all
danger over.
When the walls fell the great mob Of
people made rush to get out of danger.
Several tripped and fell and were trampled
under foot. Many men received painful
but not dangerous bruises. Sheets OF
iron were cast from the burning buildings
by the fury OF the flames and hurled into
the crowds. Scores of people received
slight injuries.
On account of the varied interests and
large number of people involved, q definite
statement concerning the losses and in
surance is impossible at this time. Relia-
BILE sources place the total loss at from
s50o.000 to $780, 900 with an insurance Of
about 81, 100000.

tackled Is the tariff Since Il has become
apparent that there is every probability OF
the silver question soon being out OF the
way, the committee on ways and means
hrs been of late Fastening its labors.
The subcommittee on customs duties
internal revenue aud customs administra-
ton have been holding daily sessions and
are pushing these branches of the work
as rapidly as possible. Chairman Wilson
has been requested by his Democratic col
leagues. in the house to report the bill at
the earnest practicable moment Inc
chairman says that he expects to be able
TO do so soon after the opening of the
regular session. but he hardly will be able
TO do 90 before that time. He will not
hold the bill moment after 1t IL ready for
report.
The lines upon which the committee 10
now working as preliminary to the revision
of the customs schedules are increase OF
tax on spirits to sl.25 instead of 30 cents
gallon, increase to 81 a barrel on malt
liquors, relmposition OF IL cent a pound
on sugar and re-enactment of an income
tax. Each of these propositions encounter
vigorous opposition from the different
Interests and sections of the country. The
Beer men and whisky men are protesting
against the change. There Is a more
favorable feeling among the sugar men,
particularly il the bounty is to be wiped
out, which is practically certain II any
thing Is done concurrently on tariff
matters.
The entire southern Democratic strength
Is pressing the income tax. The northern
Democrats are opposed to 1t. 1t is known
by statistical inquiry that this tax will
strike very significant portion of the
population in the south, while at the
north It will realize large revenue.
Many doubts are expressed AZ to whether
this tax would get through the senate If
II should pass the house
To Repienish Revenues.
1t is expected that these four items will
replenish the revenues sufficiently to offset
the losses from an increased free list, with
coal, iron ore and wool as the chief items
A horizontal reduction Of about 25 per
cent on retained duties is also expected to
produce an increase Of revenues through
enlarged importations.
The project of tariff revision as being
worked out on these lines, it Is believed by
Chairman Wilson, will bring the revenues
ap to the requirements of the govern
ment. He Is also anxious to get the bill
before the house. rs speedily as possible, a S

ate and carried into operation as soon as
practicable 1t will greatly simplify the
