WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-G esterday
in the senate the consolidation of the
bill to repeal the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act was taken up and
MIR. Stewart Of Nevada, who was en-
titled to the floor, yielded to Mr.. Pugh
democracy of Alabama, who proceed
ed TO address the senate against the
bill, Referring to the recent com
promise, Mr., Pugh said the Demo-
cratic senator's united in spirit of
compromise and concession and
selected an equal number of senators
from those friendly to unconditional
repeal and those opposed, and with
the full knowledge OF Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr. Carlisle that such an effort
was being made to bring the Demo-
cratic senators together upon some
common ground that could be enacted
into law. They accomplished that
laudable undertaking so far as to agree
upon q compromise that secured the
signatures of every Democratic SEN
ator but six. The fact was not con
sidered doubtful that forty-three
Democratic senators would have sane
toned the compromise had not the
president interposed an objection and
demanded unconditional repeal at all
hazards. Mr.. Pugh was now salts
fed that all efforts at compromise
failed solely on account of the presi-
dent and the secretary of the treas
ury. He was satisfied he could not
get a sufficient number of senators to
join him in his filibustering practices
and he was forced to record his vote
against this diabolical measure and
appeal to the people to organize Tor
the great battle of the future. Mr..
Pugh said he was willing, if he had
sutlicint support to use any
and all means to defeat the
bill. He was now to be
called filibuster in defeating a con-
spiracy equal in the ruinous conse-
quence of its success to war, pestilence
and famine. He would rather be
called Il filibuster by conspirators and
lickspittles of good things than a trail
tor'or Il faithless representative by
the state and people who honored him
with their trust and confidence As
lur nllnsell ne would 40 MS duty, as
far as be understood it, and leave the
Consequences to God and his country.
Mr.. Stewart then resumed his speech,
He spoke OF the gold combination as
having agents in the capitol to dictate
legislation and as having elected a
president determined to carry out
their policy. The president was now
in the saddle and congress was help
less. Voting will begin tomorrow.

Singular Group But Little Knowa
Even in Its Own State.
A person might look on the mao
until he was blind says the New
York Sun, without discovering the
curious fact, too insignificant from
II geographical point of view to be
taken into account in the collection
of general geographical data, that,
huddled together in the northwest
ern corner of Indiana, are more than
1000 natural lakes, ranging in size
from ten to 100 acres They are all
within the boundaries of Steuben,
De Kalb, Lagrange, Noble and Kosci-
j.sko counties, 312 of them being in
Noble county alone. Such is the iso-
lation of this extraordinary group of
lakes that the average Indiana citi-
zen, outside of the small area In
which the system is situated, is una
ware of its existence. 1t is entirely
separate from the river system OF
the state and corresponds in charac-
ter with that famous group Of lakes
in Orange and Sullivan counties New
York, and Wayne and Pike counties,
Pennsylvania literally great syringe
of crystal water, with bottoms of the
whitest sand. The wild charm of
the mountain environment that is tho
characteristic of their Eastern coun-
terparts is lacking, however, in tho
Indiana lakes although they occupy
the highest situation in the state.

sheets of water are the natural
homes of the small-mouth black bass,

that state declares that the small
mouth black bass that lnhabit tho
waters of every part OF the country
came from that group of lakes. No.
where else on the continent have
these fish been caught equal in size

Foochow, China, observing the de-
crease of consumption through the
AmicR treatment, is supplying the
the American colony as well as the
Chinese with the free medicines OBJ
tanned from the generous Cincinnati
discoverer. No governmental action
will be taken towards isolatng Con-
sumptives until the regular session.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The sanitary
authorities, aroused by recent edito-
rails on the Amick cure and the in
fectiousness of the disease, are de-
batting how best to isolate Consump-
tives. The Post says: "Consump-
tion is placed by Michigan in the
same category as smallpox and it
will be similarly quarantined. Let
Illinois fall in line at once"
DENVER, Oct. 3O.-The proposed
State Legislation isolating both resi-
dent Consumptives and those coming
here has led to the incorporation of
Institutions for their care. The Dem
yer Sanitarium Co, opened theirs last
week to the patients of all physicians
and combines isolation with the
Amick treatment, which each Con-
sumptive is given opportunity of test
ing, with medicines furnished these
physicians by the Cincinnati doctor
without cost. The Boston Company

shooting occurred mile from here
Thursday about noon. Two little
sons of Mr.. S. Bell, aged and 8, in
company with a negro boy aged 13,
went out with gun. The negro had
the gun and seeing blackbird he left
the two white boys standing in the
lane while he went to shoot the bird.
Failing to get a shot at the bird the
negro returned to where the white
boys were and remarked that he be-
lieved he would shoot Dan, the 6-year-
old. Jim, the 9-year-old, told him
not to shoot Dan. The negro said,
Then l will shoot YOU" He raised
the gun and fired the whole load into
his side, shooting one of his arms
nearly off. The negro made his
escape before any one could get to the
place and as yet is at liberty. Jim

THE MIDDLE OF THE EARTH.

Many Places Contest tho Honor-Their
Claims
For several centuries different
cities of the Orient have contested
with each other for the honor of be-
ing recognized as the mid-spot OF
our planet In 1888 London geog-
rapher issued an elaborate work, in
which he tries to prove the British
metropolis to be the center of the
landed surface of the globe Jerusa-
lem and Delphi, Notwithstanding
that neither is situated on or very
near the equator, have for ages been
the two main contestants in this
great central city controversy, says
the Philadelphia Press.
William Simpson of the London
society for the exploration of Pales-
tine, tells us that Herr Schicl1 has
sent home drawings of the spot in
Jerusalem which is supposed by some
to be the exact center of our world

that was driven through His right
hand, and the blood which He shed,
on that memorable occasion.
1t is written in the Psalms: "God
is my King of old, working salvation
in the midst of the earth"
This can only refer to the scenes
of the Passion and of the holy sepul-
chre; the midst or mid spot of the
earth must, therefore, be sought in
that vicinity. The belief that tho
center of the earth is at Jerusalem is
very ancient, for it is alluded to by
st. Ephrem in his reference to Noah's
prayer over the bones OF Adam. st.
Ephrem says: "And Noah
buried Adams body in the middle OF
the earth" A certain round stone
in the temple of Delphi is also spoken
of by the ancient writer's o. being
the navel or center OF the earth. -
Orastes takes refuge there when
pursued by Eumenides. Pindar also
makes mention of the exact location
of the center of the world; and PEN
sanius, like Herr Schick, also had
she pleasure of beholding the only
genuine central hub of our planet.
He, however, locates it at Delphi,
instead of at Jerusalem. alt is made, ~
he says, "of white stone, smooth ana
polished, and is no doubt the middle
point OF all the world"

Stewart would have concluded his

it is possible that it will become nee
essary to change the plans so as to
defer vote upon the amendments
until tomorrow. MIR. Jones will re-
quire only short time to conclude,
and Mr.. Allen will not speak at great

may also make a brief statement
There may possibly be few other
short speeches before the close of the

marks for too great length of time
to begin voting by 8 or o'clock to-

WAsHNGToN, Oct. 27.-There was
little fluttcr among members of the
house when the report was circulated
that in the income tax scheme there
would be included a provision to tax
mortgages. Western men assert that
taxing mortgages would mean that
the person borrowing money would be
obliged to pay an increased amount OF
interest to meet the amount of the
tax, and the men lending the money
would not be injured. Inquiry among
members of the ways and means com
mittee developed the fact that the
impression got aboard through the
hearing which was last week accorded
to Thomas &. Shearman of New York,
who advocated a tax on invested
wealth, including bonds, stocks, NOR
cages and rents. 1t was apparent
that an income tax, if adopted, would
mean graduated tax on all kinds OF
incomes.
