Lille Luther Rolled in a Barrel Because
She Held Aloof from Other Girls.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 17.-Lillie
Luther was taken this afternoon from
the shops of the Union Metallic Car
fridge Company, in this city, where
she is employed, to her home, No. 426
Central avenue, a raving maniac as the
result of being rolled about the shop
floor in a barrel by her shopmates.
Lille entered the employ of the COM
pany a month ago, She held aloof
from her female companions and to
punish her six of the girls dropped a
barrel over her head, tipped it upon the
floor and rolled it with the girl inside.
The rolling process continued for four
minutes and then Lille was found un-
conscious. An hour later she was re-
suscitated and began shrieking in a
pitiful manner. She probably will
never regain her intellect.

Usage CITY, Kan, April 19.-About
4 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon one of
the worst cyclones which ever visited
Kansas struck this city, and in a short
time forty buildings we're wrecked and
several lives were lost. About thirty

dence buildings. Fully 100 houses,
barns and stores in the suburbs were
completely demolished. Telegraph and
telephone lines are all down and the

Twelve Hundred Sit Down to a Dinner
Given at Boston.
Boston, Nov. 24. = Twelve hundred
Republicans sat down to a love feast at
Home Market Club in the big Mechanics
Hall, this evening. The galleries were
crowded with several thousand more,
while the air was filled with enthusiasm.
Among those present were Governor Nc
kinney of Ohio, Tom Reed OF Maine,
Governor-elect Greenhalge of Massa-
chusetts, Governor Fuller of Vermont,
Congressman Cousins OF Iowa and Sen
ator Hoar.
After dinner President Bent introduced
Senator George Hoar as the first speaker.
After Hoar came Governor GreenhaIge.
Governor Mckinley of Ohio was re-
ceived with clamOrOus applause. He
said: This year in Massachusetts, as in
Ohio, politics was busines and business
politics, and unitedly they triumphed.
Is anybody any longer in doubt about the
real trouble in the country to-day? The
President of the United States in his
August message announced great fact.
He said: 1T may be true that the embar-
rassment from which the business of the
country is suffering arises as much from
evils apprehended as from those actually
existing This is true. Remove the ap-
lation; remove the scare of the promised
free trade bill; remove the fear which has
settled upon every business interest and
confidence will return. What would be
more welcome to the business interests of
the country than assurances that this
Congress would adjourn without med
ding with our industrial legislation? I
sound the note Of warning here tonight.
The effect of the proposed tariff legisla-
ton, whether intended or not, is an un-
erring blow at labor, which will be in
stantly felt in the home of every opera
tive in the United States"
Congressman Thomas B. Reed spoke
next. He said: Even if we should be
successful in defeating any effort of the
Democratic party to carry out the pro-
gramme of their party platform, we
should not forget our duty to push for
ward. You have great duty before you,
duty for the people. This is country
where the majority will rule sooner or
later.''
Other speakers were Congressman
Cousins of Iowa and Hon. William
Chance of New York.

ROME, Nov. 24.-The Chamber of Dep@
uties was thronged to-day.
Cavelotoi caused a lively scene when
the minutes of Yesterdays meeting were
read. He complained that the sitting was
closed when the Extreme Left was about
to submit motion. The President COM
menced an explanation amid great ex-
element, the Extreme Left meanwhile
denouncing the Ministers.
Minister of Finance Crimaldi warmly
defended himself against the attacks Of
the Extreme Left, declaring that he was
an honest man and equally solicitous of
public morals as were his opponents.
Premier Giolotti, before making the
ministerial declaration, declared that he
wished to state in his own name and In
the name of his colleagues that they
wished TO resume their seats in the
Chamber of Deputies in order to have
full liberty of speech.
The remarks of the Premier caused
much excitement in the chamber, espe~
clally the Extreme Left.
When the noise had somewhat subsidized
Glolotti proceeded to announce the resig-
nation of the Cabinet, adding that the
King had reserved his decision, and that
the Ministers would meantime remain in
Office.
After the dispatch of current business a
motion to adjourn was made. The Ex-
treme Left strongly denounced Giolotti,
who warmly retorted.
The sitting finally closed amid uproar.

the purchase of silver would prove a
strong lever in bringing foreign countries
TO see the necessity for providing means
for increasing the volume of money in
the civilized world, and he argued that
the United States should show a.determl-
nation to maintain gold standard as
long as other nations, to persist in this
course and to secure all the gold possible.
He dwelt upon the Importance of secur-
ing the assent of England to such con-
ference, with the understanding that it
should not be mere pro forma proceed
ings on her part, and expressed the opin-
ion that affairs We're shaping themselves
in way to render England more favor
able than that country had heretofore
been to an international agreement.
He called attention to the rate of ex-
change between England and India, and
said India's partiality for silver would be
difficult to overcome. He furthermore
asserted that England's relations with
India were so intimate that the former
country, in view of the difficulty which
England already experienced from rival
powers in maintaining her prestige in
her Aslatic possessions, cannot afford to
go to any great length in antagonizing
the people of that region upon point
SO vital TO them as their finances.
This Senator also expressed the opinion
that the present Government of England
was liable to be overthrOWn at the next
election, and said if it should be and
Salisbury and BalfOur should again come
into office, as in that event they would,
there would be much greater likelihood

visibility of withholding further supplies

has been referred TO the Attorney Gen
eral for consideration, and will probably
find its way into the courts. Meantime

UNEMPLOYED woRKMEN.

Forty of Them Under Arrest for Try
ing TO Take Possession of Train.
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. q. = Forty
unemployed men who left this city on
foot yesterday, after having failed in two
attempts to force a freight train to take
them TO Barstow, proceeded to Cajon
station, about eighteen miles from this
city, where they again took possession of
the first passing freight train. The train
men refused to carry them, and the train
was compelled to stand on the side track
all night. This morning railroad de-
tective Burns, Sheriff Booth and deputies
and Constables proceeded to Cajon, and
arrested thirty men and brought them
into this city. Warrants were served on
them charging them with misdemeanor
in riding on a railroad and attempting to
traudulently evade payment OF fare,
under Section of the statutes of 1870.
These men LETT Los Angeles three days

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee are experiencing much diff
Guilty in their endeavors to complete the
new tariff bill and haveit ready for submis-
sion to their Republican colleagues at a
meeting Of the full committee on Monday
next The details of the internal rev.
enue schedule and income tax provisions
are yet Incomplete and somewhat in
definite. Indeed, strong influence had
been brought to bear within the last
forty-eight hours to induce the commit
tee to abandon altogether the income tax
provision; but the position of McMillin,
Bryan, Whiting and others has been so
resolute in favor of this policy that it ap
pears impossible for the committee to
abandon the tax fully without hopelessly
dividing the Democratic party. 1t seems
probable, however, that the income tax
provision will not be of the sweeping
character that was at first contemplated.
The present plans are to impose tax on
legacies, on incomes OF large corpora
tions, ou incomes of real estate and other
property in the country owned or con-
trOlled by aliens, as well as to require the
stamping of certain documents and the
special license of certain classes of busi-
ness. The Subcommittee on Internal
Revenue is still at work, and will prob
ably conclude its labors sometime to-
morrow night. No changes of importance
are contem plated in the internal revenue
tax on tobacco or beer, though it is prob
able there will be slight increase of the

The Next State Convention to Be HELD

The Next State Convention to Be Held
at Sacramento.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 24.-At the meet
ing of the fruit-growers to-day Boyd of
Riverside, on behalf of Oscar Morris of
San Bernardino, protested against the
conclusions of Mr.. Cutler in regard to
Royal Messina lemons. He said busi-
ness interests were bids for the state
ments, and Mr.. Cutler was in the nursery
business and has that kind of trees to
sell.
Sacramento was chosen as the next
place to hold the next convention.
Mrs. Jones of Sacramento read the re-
port of censure of the Secretary OF Agri-
culture, Morton, by the National Grange.
She said that the adverse attitude of the
Secretary of Agriculture toward the or
ganiZation OF the farmers, the food pro-
ducers of this nation, was a matter of
public knowledge and record. The Ma
tiOnal Grange, now in session at Syra-
cuse, y. Y, had taken action condemn
ing the Secretary'S language as untrue;
also, stating that the President owes it to
the farmers to appoint Secretary of
Agriculture in sympathy with them.
AS the Grange is a kindred organiza-
ton with this, it was moved that the ac-
ton of the Grange be indorsed by this
convention. Chapman of San Gabriel
seconded the motion, but il was voted
down.
Another attempt was made to bring up
the resolution for the NATURALIZATION of
railroads. but it failed, only to pop up
later with final success.
The following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, The fruit interests of Cali
fornia are among the most important in
the State, in fact exceeding those of any
one interest; and whereas, it is desirable
that we should have the cordial support
and cooperation OF the press of the State,
upon which the welfare OF our great in
dustry is in a manner dependent,
ReSo{Ued, That it is the sense of this
convention that no particular publica-
ton, horticultural, agricultural or other
wise, be designated as the special ''or-
gan" of the fruit-growing interests,
believing that our material welfare will
better be subserved by enlisting the gen.
eral support of the entire press than by
discriminating III favor of any class pub
lication.
ResoIued, further, That this convention
recommends TO all horticultural and agri-
cultural associations of the State the
adoption of the policy as outlined in the
foregoing resolution.
The committee on the Presidents adj
dress reported, suggesting that a commit
tee be appointed to consider the question
of establishing a permanent bureau to
send expeditions to different parts of the
world to investigate parasite fungoids, to
report full statement of the facts. with
suggestions as to permanent organiza-
ton and ways and means at the next
fruit-growers' convention. The report
was adopted, and the following committee
appointed on this important work: Ell
wood Cooper of Santa Barbara, William
Johnston of Sacramento, Abbott Kinney
of Lamanda Park. S. +. Lieb of San Jose,
and General n. O. Chapman of Red Bluff.

Senator'S and Congressman Favor An

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Inquiry among
Senators and members developed a very
general belief that there will be an effort
next year, possibly early in the year, to
bring about another international Con-
ference for the purpose of securing some
recognition of silver.
A prominent member of the Senate
Committee on Finance, who has been
known for many years for his hostility TO
the continued use of silver in this coun-
try without the cooperation of the prin-
cipal European nations, expressed an
opinion to-day that by proper manage
ment the Administration could secure
conference upon the question, which
would accomplish important results.
looking TO the largely increased use of
silver in European countries.
He is OF the opinion that the action
