which was known in the country as
"Cluny's Cage" The trunks of several
trees had been wattled across, the inter-
walls strengthened with stakes, and the
ground behind this barricade leveled up
with earth to make the floor. A tree
Which grew out from she hillside was
the living center beam of the roof. The
walls were of waffle and covered with
moss. The whole house had something
of an egg shape, and it half hung, half
stood in that steep hillside thicket, like a
wasp's nest in green hawthorn.
Within it was large enough to shelter
FIVE or six persons with some comfort.
A projection of the cliff had been cum
ningly employed to be the fireplace. and
the smoke rising against the face Of the
rock, and being not dissimilar in color,
readily escaped notice from below.
This was but one of Cluny's hiding
places; he had caves besides under
ground chambers in several parts OF his
country; and following the reports of
his scouts he moved from one to another
as The soldiers drew near or moved
away. By this manner of living, and
thanks to the affection of his clan, he
staid all this time in safety.
When we came to the door he was
seated by his rock chimney watching a
gillie about some cookery. He was
mighty plainly habited, with knitted
nightcap drawn over his ears, and
smoked foul Guilty pipe. For all that
he had the manners of king, and it
was quite sight to see him rise out of
his place to welcome us.

The Tariff.
Chicago Post


We have ut length from the chair
man OF the ways and means commit
tee a definite announcement of the
program Of that body in respect Of the
taking OF testimony on the tariff
question and the preparation of
new tariff bill. Mr.. Wilson declares
that the hearings now in progress
will positively be brought to an end
next week--on the goth inst. This.
in spite Of the importuuate demands
from various quarters that the agony
he prolonged. The committee owes
it to the country to turn deaf ear
to those demands. No good can
come from prolongation Of these
hearings. The testimony OF tariff
experts Is like the testimony of most
experts-it can be made to tit any
side of cGy case. Each witness i
eager to testify. not for the benefit
of the people. but in the interest of
the particular industry which he
represents. He finds no difficulty in
making n good case, from his own
point OF view: the facts" and fig-
ures are all Of his own making: his
methods OF reasoning are his own
But out OF such conflicting chorus
comes only confusion for n commit
tee. 1t ought all to be stopped.
The industrial interests Of the
country demand prompt action. 1t
is .he suspense that kills. Anticipa-
ting a revision of the tariff. manu-
facturers and merchants have shaped
their future for changed conditions.
They have stopped ordering for flu
ture account. They are hugging the
the shore OF present necessity. Such
has been their course now for months
back. and the result i that they are
now in better condition to meet new
schedules. even though they were
considered hostile schedules, than
ever before in the recent history of
the country.
Hence the wisdom of Mr.. Wilson 5
determination to push the tariff
question to an issue forthwith. His
party platform commands it: no less

M'ALLISTER'S BLUFF.
Grand Jury Failed to Find Public
Gambling

The grand jury spent several hours
yesterday inquiring into the gambling
evil. and concluded, after hearing the
testimony of Mayor Eustis, some news
paper men and Aid. McAllister, who
insists that public gambling is going
on in Minneapolis, that there was no
foundation for the charge, and will
probably drop the matter entirely. The
jury is anxious to know who furnished
Aid. McAllister with the famous list of
alleged gambling resorts. 1t is rumored
that an individual formerly connected
with the police department prepared
the list, and it is possible he may he
subp9naed today. Aid. Rollins was
also questioned by the grand jury. No
positive evidence of the existence of
public gambling was given.
