the favorable report which Mr. Har-
rison presented in his message to Con-
gress was not justified by the then
existing conditions.
When the people elected DINO
cratic House in 1890 in consequence
of the pa~sag" Il tho Mckinley bin
and the other ex-ravagances Of the
Htty-fgst Congr,s~, the Republican
press complained that judgement was
passed upon the NcKiIly bill before
lis advantages had had time to develop
so one can curltnd that sufficient
time has not n,w elapsed to show its
operation. And what do We find after
thr,e full years Of McKnleyism?
Factories closing, thousand honest
and willing laborers without employ
mont and suffering for bread in the
midst Of unprecedented plenty wheat
lower than ever before in history and
the baasted 'hume market" delusion
and fraud and II snare to catch I'M
sophisticated farmers, the balance OF
trade against us and settled distrust
OF American securities.

SLEEPER AWAKtS.
After Two Years Slumber, but She is
Dying.

Bridget Pendergast, after having
been in sleep at the Central Hospital
for the Insane at Indianapolis, for over
two years, is awake. She is dying. Her
case is one of the most remarkable IN
the history Of the practice ct this
country, and has been the subject OF
investigation and examination by
physicians. She was admitted to the
Central Hospital in September, 1890.
In February, 1891, she fell into a
cataleptio slumber that has lasted ~
interruptedly until last Thursday,
When admitted she was 26 years old.
She was first treated at ST. Nincent's
Hospital, wherh she was listless and
would scarcely talk with any one.
After her removal to the insane asylum
she took food for short time. She be-
came more cheerful and exressed a
desire to go to her home and relatives
in Ireland. After she went into the
stupor she had to be fed bya tube, and
by this means since Dr. Frank Ray
has given her from sixty to ninety
ounces OF milk daily.

A WOULD-BE MURDERER.
SAM MILLER ATTEMPTS THE LIFE
OF POLICEMAN KILGORE.
The Much. Wanted Migratory Bird OF
the Human Species in Limbo.

The information received from
Johneon City to the effect that Sam
Miller. who worked the Irishman's
fleaact on Policeman Hill had gone
to the land OF flowers for his health
was incorrect. Miller has probably
not been five miles from Bristol since
he made his escape from the officers
about two weeks ago.
1t will be remembered that Miller
was wanted sor being implicated with
Will Hartsook for HOUSEKEEPING and
theft, tor which crime Hartsook is now
on bond awaiting the action OF the
grand jury. Miller wss arrested by
Policeman Hill on fugitive warrant
but made successful break for liberty
He had not been seen since until Sat
urday night, when he was arrested BY
Policeman Price and Kilgore near the
residence of DR.. Rives Walker, or
Johnson street.
When Miller found that he wa
cornered, and that escape this time
was impossible, he opened fire on thu
officers. One bullet narrowly missed
Policeman Kilgore.
Miller was knocked down, disarmeC
and taken to the calaboose. This after
noon he was taken before j. II. Dish
ner, ESQ.,, to be tried for housebreakinI
and theft, and shooting with intent tt
kill. He waived preliminary cxamir
alton in both cases, and will be takel
to Abingdon and placed in jail thi
evening.
Miller seems to be a desperate char
acter. He is wanted in Johnson Git
on two or three charges OF stealing

FIGHT FOR A CLERK.
Why Judge McKenna Wanted a
New Man.
Senator Stanford Was Interested in
Sawyer, but Was PowerIess to
Save Him His Job.
special to THE MoRNINs CALL

WASHINGTON. March Representative
Hilborn Of California is feeling happY over
the successful outcome of one of his FIRST
pieces of leg slative diplomacy. He had
been working hard to secure in the legisla-
tive appropriation bill provision allowing
Judge McKenns to name a clerk for his
district to succeed Judge Sawyer's nephew.
Mr.. Hiborn worked with the members Of
the Appropriation Committee and succeeded
IN having provision inserted in the legis-
latIye appropriation bill, and it passed the
House, but the Senate struck 1t out. Sena-
tors Dolph and Mitchell thought that Judge
Gilbert had as much right to name clerk
as Judge Mckenna, and they opposed this
provision rather than have Judge McF-enua
make the appointment. Jesse D. Carr,
who is here, also opposed it, The bill went
to confesence and Mr.. HiIborn was success
full in having the clause inserted. The con-
ference report has been adopted by both
houses. and the bill is now ready for the
Presidents signature.
On the Senate side there was an interesting
little controversy between Senators Fslteu
and Mitchell when the conferescs yenert
was presented. Mr.. Felton, sad thsy :de
present clerk, Sawyer. was Objectionable 10
Judge McKeuna, who did not have conf
dence in him. He thought that Judge Gil
bert, McKenna's colleague, should have
agreed to Sawyer's removal and the appoint
ment of his successor. Judge McKenna's
integrity was knowa in Congress. He Gel
tom had the greatest respect for Senator
Mitchell and the measure now under discus
sion was no reflection on him. In answer
10 Mitchell FELTON, said that several of the
District Judges OF the Ninth Circuit Court
were In sympathy with Judge McKenna's
desire. At this point there were some sharp
words from FELTON,, who said he declined TO
yield to tile Senator from Oregon to be con
tradicted by him.
Mitchell said chad this morning received
a letter from Senator Stanford, saving that
lie was interested in having Clerk Sawyer
retained and he hoped that the provision
for his retirement would not be adopted.
FELTON, SAID Stanford wrote his letter under
misapprehenson and a mistaken idea as
to the real facts in the matter. FELTON, de-
clared that Mckenna would not put in n
clerk who would be Objectionable to his
colleagues, as had been stated before the
provision, Championed by FELTON, in the
Senate and Hilborn in the House, was
adopted.
Senator Mitchell said to THE CALL cor
respondent tonight that the provision
would have been badly beaten il it had
been a separate measure, but 1t would
have delayed the legislative appropriation
bill's passage TO have opposed it too vigor-
ously.
The morning call., 1893-03-04


tiOn of whether the canal company will be
granted the concession another year de-
pends upon his obtaining a certain assur-
ance from the Panama Railway Company
concerning its future action. and the semi
official papers express the opinion that
these assurances will be given.
Among the agreements which it is said
the railway company will make is one
providing that in future no traffic alliances
will be made with transatlantic or other
steamship lines under which monopoly Of
the faffic of the isthmus would be created
In other words, no steamship company
shall be granted special privileges over any
other.
On behalf Of the canal company, Mango
will be required to stipulate that its shares
in the railway company will not be sold or
hypotheeated without first obtaining the
consent of the Colombian Government.
The material owned by the canal COM
pany is TO be we'll preserved, and no part
of it is to be removed OF sold. Mango is
apparently prepared 10 comply with these
and other demands of the Government in
Guiding satisfactory settlement of the
question arising out of the transfer His
success in his negotiations seems therefore
assured.
In Bordeaux to-day NJ. Donayrouse,
formerly director of the RepublIque Fran
caise and manager of Cocarde, was tried
for having libelously accused Deputy
Rayral OF corrupt practices in connection
with the Panama scandal. The judgment
was delivered just before midnight. 1t
was that NJ. Donayrouse be Imprisoned for
three months, and that the manager of
Cocarde pays 100 francs fine and 5000 francs
damages

somewhat thinner, but professed TO be al
most entirely recovered from his indiposi-
ton and is already beginning to get himself
in fettle for his fight with Charley Mitchell
next December.

BURNED HER BABIES.
A Mothers Frantic Grief at the Loss
of Her Children

New YORK, March 3.-Mrs. Bernstein
and Mrs. RoSen occupied apartments on the
top floor Of the tenement house 1874 Henry
street. They both went out this morning,
locking their children in. The former had
four little ones, ranging in age from II to 6
years, the latter had one daughter, aged Z.
After their departure the kerosene stove
in the apartments of Meyer Membert, on
the lower floor. exploded, setting fire to
Mrs. Membert's clothing. She managed to
extinguish the flames, and with her two
children made her escape. There were
twelve families in the tenement and all
rushed for the fire escapes.
The fire swept out into the hallway like
flash and the upper story was soon mass
of flames.
The Fire Department soon had the flames
under control, however, and were congratu-
lating themselves on the escape of all the
inmates and a light fire loss. when the Wild
shrek of a woman came from the throng
in the street. 1t was Mrs. Bernstein, who
knew nothing of her ehildren's peril till
turning the corner She saw the crowd and
the evidence of fire. With the utmost diff
Guilty she was restrained from rushing into
the building.
AS soon as possible the fremen made
their way to the top story and found the
five little ones suffocated in their beds.
The fire had not reached them, but the
smoke had entered and asphyxiated them
in their sleep, -<.'

BUILDING A NAVY.
Matters Agreed Upon by the House
and Senate Conferrees,


WASHINGTON, March 3.-The most i'm
on the naval bill are the appropriation of
100000 for building a submarine torpedo
boat and conducting experiments there
with, and $4,000 for the expenses of the
International naval rendezvous and review.
The agreement in regard 10 the light draft
gunbOats is in the nature of a compromise.
The House provided tor one, and the SEN
ate added three more. The report shows
that the committee agreed upon three al
together. These boats are to be protected,
of about 1900 tons displacement, and e. cost,
exclusive Of armament, not more than
$500, 900 each.
Herbert of Alabama. Cleveland's Secre-
tary of the Navy, said to THE CALI. cor
respondent to-day that the improvements
in submarine tOrpe bobcats had advanced
far enough to warrant their construction by
the Government. He thought thai the
Baker boat was probably the best. Il can
be elevated or depressed by side proptllers.
There is a proviso In the naval bill which
allows the Secretary Of the Navy in his
discretion, to award the contract for build
ing either or all of these new boats to any
responsible builder who will make his bid
as low as the lowest. II this provision had
been inserted in last years nays, bill
the contract for building the Iows would
have been given to Scott. who was willing
to make his bid as low as Cramps.
Mr.. Scott is again registered a; the Arling-
ton Hotel, but expects TO start for San Fran
cisco in few days.
