Returning Boomers Severely Criticize
sho Governments Methods.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.-Over q thou.
sand ex-boomers passed through the
Union depot yesterday en- route home.
making q total of at least 1000 for the
past three days.
Out of this number not q score could be
found who secured q claim. A regular
simoou swept over the strip Tuesday, and
some of those who returned were boomers
who, although they had secured chance
for claim, were unwilling to longer en-
dure the hardships Of the strip for the sake
Of q piece OF land.
The great majority, however, as on pre-
ceding days. were men who had been CON-
pletely left In the mad scramble. The
tales told by ell the boomers are similar.
They are greatly disgusted, and do not
hesitate TO express themselves regarding
the mismanagemert Of the opening by the
government la the most emphatic terms.
The scenes OF misery. excitement. bull
dozing, bribery and bloodshed witnessed
at the recent opening. as told by those
men, will probably never be repeated in
this country. 1t is the opinion of all who
witnessed such q rush that the govern.
ment will have to find . different method
Of throwing open lands to settlement il Il
desires to avoid such disastrous failures
as those Of last week.

Burgssn Murray further states that the

~ indicates six weeks siege, which will
carry u almost to the time when the first

have besn made for the opening Of the
looal Hospital and all u complets at the
dstsntioa camp At Waynesvills. Citizens
of Brunswick do not appear TO be panic
strickso, but meet the calamity with for
tituds and patience, and will care for the
Destitute through private subscriptions.
The prsonuttons that have been taken
lead the sanitaty experts TO believe they
can confine the fever to the stricken city.
The detsntion camp will accommodate 800
persons, and every one desiring to leave
the city will be required to remain there
until the period Of injection has passed. A
strict Gordon, on land, has been thrown
around the entire infected district and q
complets water guard established. Acting
Assistant Surgeon Horsey, now at Fernan-
dina has been In charge OF the Cumber-
land river ratrol to prevent the escape Of

An Ex-Convict Attempts to Indecently
Assault q Four -Ycar-Old Child.
wALTHAM. Mass, Sept. 90. = John
Stewart, an ex-convict, was arrested last
evening by Superintendent Burnford Of
the almshouse for attempting to commit
an assault upon a 4-year.old child.
Stewart nas been an inmate of the poor
house about six weeks. Stewart. who Is a
veteran of the war, enlisted from this city,
and when he came to Waltham he sought
the overseers Of the poor and informed
them of that fact. As result he was ad-
mitted to the almshouse.
OF late he has been seen in company of
little girls who live In the neigh borhood.
Yesterday afternoon, IL is alleged, he
enticed 4,year-old girl into the bushes
and was in the act of assaulting the child
when her mother appeared on the scene
and rescued the child.
The woman, whose name Is withheld by
the police, notified Superintendent Burn
ford, who took Stewart to the police sta
ton. Superintendent Burnford informed
Sergeant Taft that Stewards pension pa-
pers had come to him few days ago and
that they had been redirected from the
Charlestown prison. Sergeant Taft tele-
phoned to the prison aud learned that
Stewart had heen released from there in
August, ls91. He served four years for
rape, the offeuce being committed in Ma
tick
The mother Of the child did not seem
anxious to appear In court against the
man, but since his record has been estab-
lished she will probably be prevailed upon
to appear against him.

nue. with his throat cut from ear to ear.

TuE TARIFF BILL


ChsIrman Wilson Says IL VIII he Ready
An November.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 20.-The majority
member Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee have NOT yet decided upon time for
beginning the work of formulating the bill
to replacs the present Mckinley law. Fri
day next Will be the first regular meeting
day Of the committee after the hearings
have ceased, but 1t IL hardly probable that
the members will want to rush into that
part OF the work after nearly three weeks
continuous sessions. Besides all the testi-
mony submitted by those who have ap-
peared before the committee is not yet
printed, and the members will probably
desire to study the statements made to
them before entering upon the preparation
of their bill. The probabilities are, there
FORE that nothing will be done on the de-
tails of the bill before next week. It 10
the expectation of Chairman Wilson and
his colleagues on tho committee that the
measure viii be ready for presentation to
the House by November.
Chairman Wilson has informed q num-
Der OF persons who have applied for the
privilege of appearing before the commit
tee that IL will be impossible to grant their
requests, a. the tims allotted for hearings
being already occupied by the terms ofres-
olution adopted by the House, any partic-
ular subject upon which information Is de-
sired may be Investigated by the sub-com-
mittee having 1t In charge, and In the
course of the preparation of the new tariff
bill, it IL probable that several inquiries
will be prosecuted under this resolution.

Mr.. Dubois (kep., Idnho) az a representa-

speech, defying Mr.. voorhees, to force the
issue.
In reply, Mr.. voorhees, said there was no
use OF talking of cloture, as the discussion
of that proposition would take up all the
time of this and the next Congress. He
therefore gave notice that tomorrow he
would ask the Senate to remain
In session longer, perhaps, at

but sufficient to remove the greaat ground
Of complaint on the part OF the silver men.
In reply to Mr.. Dubois MIR. Hoar made .
humorous reference to the Senator from
Idaho and said that hs (Mr. Hoar) would
be found to be consistent at all times as q
good Republican. Turning to Mr. voor-
hees Mr.. Hoar referred to the Force hill
and uttered what was taken to be athreat.
Mr.. Hoar called It bill to provide for
