THE TARIFF BILL.
Democratic Representatives Think

Democratic Representatives Think 1t
Should be Speedily Passed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--The general
drift of opinion among the Democratic
members of the House seems to be that
the tariff bill must be passed, and as
speedily as possible. There are some who
say they will make an attempt to have it
modified in certain points in the interest
of their constituents, but, failing in that,
will vote for the bill. 1t is understood to
be the intention not to allow much time
for debate even if the clOture has to be
applied, with the object of getting the
measure before the Senate as quickly as
possible.

Immediately.

No More Free Rides For Tramps.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 5.-The Southern
Pacific Railroad Company has given
trainmen instructions that no more
tramps shall be carried on the conpany's
trains free of charge. For a long time
tramps were given free rides, as they
claimed to be in search OF work. 1t has
been demonstrated that they don't want
work, but simply travel from one place
to another, becoming burdens upon ths
communities they visit. 1t is expected
that the tramps will resist the order to
nut them off the trains.

made by the anti-sslver men that the gov

The Senate democratic caucus commit

When they will meetlagain and attempt TO

OWING to the agreement reached in the
House the committee feels relieved, and
sees no reason for pressing action on its
part. The fact that the House will de-
vote two weeks to the discussion of the
silver question removes the necessity that
existed to formulate plan Immediately,
and the probability is that the caucus
OF democratic senators will not act finally
upon the policy to be outlined by its COM
mittee until towards the close OF sthe de-

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 12.-The mayor Of
Pensacola makes the following announce
ment:
In order to answer numerous inquiries,
the press is requested To answer for the
benefit Of the citizons of this city, scat
tered throughout the country, the situa-
ton, which is this: Captain Northup died
July 25. About this death there seems to
be no difference of opinion among the
doctors, all agreeing that it Dwas
from typhoid fever. On the 9th
of August Mr.. f. c. Waite and
Miss Ellen Wood died The city was
shaken to the very center and the local
board Of health was dumfounded. When
the attending physicians announced that
their sickness was yellow fever there
arose the suggestion that the last deaths
were connected with Capt Northup's.
Surgeon General Wyman has ordered
Surgeons Carter, Magruder, Murray and
Hatton to cooperate with the state
health officers, DR. Porter, and the local
health board.
ANXIETY FOR INFORMATION.
The two first have arrived, and inqui-
ries come pouring TO know what these ex-
.4rs ,Ia4, .st
they have been unable to say anything,
fer the following reason: An autopsy Of
the dead is now impossible: it was too
late. For thesdexpertsto undertake to
pass upon the question on testimony
would simply be an effort to settle diff
ferences, and they would be forced to be
guided by the Judgment OF
others. There are two days by
which these experts can Judge whether
we have yet the fever in thecity or not:
by waiting for further cases upon which
to apply their Judgment. This oppor-
tunity has not presented itself as yet, as
a careful house to house inspection by
eight reliable men report not a single sus-
picious case, and every practicing physi-
clan has reported, up to g o'clock p. M, no
cases in their districts.
TIME ALONE CAN AFFORD PROOF.
In the absence of further cases the ex-
perts can only wait the time their expert
ence may suggest as being the utmost
possible period Of incubation, and then
declare our city exempt. The municipal
relations are critical with the national,
state and local health authorities, and
| promise to announce through the press
any change in the existing encouraging
! outlook
My official term expires in twelve days,
but l will request my successor to carry
out my promise given above.

Sensational Suit Against Hon. w. o.
P. Breokinridge.


Washington, Aug 12.-In the supreme
court Of the District of Columbia to-day,
suit was filed for $780, 900 for breach Of
promise against Representative William
G. p. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, by
Madeline V. Pollard. The plaintiff charges
that in April, 1884, when she was IL years
old and student at Wesleyan female
seminary at Cincinnati, she was met on
the train travelling from school to Frank
fort KY, where she had been called on
account of the grave illness of her sister,
by w. G.. p. Breckenridge, who made her
acquaintance op the plea of his knowing
her family and that she was fiattered by
his attentions, knowing who he was and
regarding him as very prominent man.
THE BILL OF PARTICULARS.
That on Aug. 3, 1884, he came to see her
at the seminary and got permission of the
president for her to dine with him. and,
by wiles and artifces and protestations
of affection, subsequently took advantage
of her youth and inexperience. The
birth of two children (who died) and the
premature birth of third child are al
legged as the result Of this intimacy From
time to time, the plaintiff alleges, the
date for the marriage was postponed, un-
til on July 18th, she alleges that Mr..
Breckenridge wrongfully married another
woman, Mrs. Louise Wing, who was
then a resident Of the city of Louisville.
The plaintiff in the case was for some
time an employe in oneu Of the depart
ments here, bnt shortly after the death OF
Gen Sherman was dismissed it was said,
for the making Of derogatory remark
respecting the dead general. The an
nouncement of her engagement TO Mr..
Breckinridge and the subsequent break
ing off of that engagement, and Mr.
