A case of o boy being killed by a bug
that gnawed' his Heart deeply interests
local physicians, Samuel LeHnox. 7
years old: died a few days ago with very
peculiar symptoms. The boy had been
sick for some time, but his case was diff
ferent from any other. A post mortem
examination revealed that part Of the
heart had been eaten away by an insect,
causing death. Nearly a year ago the
boy drank water from a brook and swal-
lowed a water bug. The insect ate its
way through the boys stomach and then
began ~devouring the heart, the boy
bleeding to death.--Muncie 1nd.) Dis

The Lanky Australian Almost Knocked
Out by Joe Choynski in Boston.
BosToN, June 20.-At the Boston
theatcr last night Bob Fitzsimmons,
champion middleweight of the world
and challenger of Jim Corbett, turned
an almost certain defeat into victory.
Had not the police interfered it was
ten to II that lie would have finished
Joe Choynski in a punch. AS it was
the match was declared a draw, but
nc one present will ever claim that
Choynski was a focman worthy to
combat the, lanky Australian. No
less than 5000 cheering, bowling men
enjoyed the battle, the like of which
Boston has never seen before.
In the third round Choynski landed
on Fitz's jaw full and square, telling
the Australian. He was on his back
nine seconds and got up just in time to
save himself, and was quite groggy,
but Choynski had lost his head with
wild leads which Fitz ~cleverly lodged.
Fitz rapidly recovered himself and
had Choynski at his mercy and would
have knocked him out in the fifth
round but for the police.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 19.-The
Coxey army encampcd in the East

fifty of them stole the fat boat last
night which was given to the army
Saturday. Before leaving they
loaded the boat with nearly all the

The assertions OF Saturday and Sun

of these will be gone by tonight.

A NEW RECORD BY CONGRESS.
Only Eighty-Five Public and Eighteen
Private Bills So Far Passed.

Only Eighty-Five Public and Eighteen
Private Bills So Far Passed.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Up to to-day
only eighty-fve public measures have
been enacted into law and the private
laws are limited to the Unprecedented
ly small number of eighteen.
The whole number of bills intro
duced in the house is 7,453-far below
the average. Of these Lose have been
reported-also far below the usual
number at this date. The falling off
of bills, reports, etc, has been SO
great that it has been one of the main
III of the recent wholesale reduc-
ton of force in the government print
ing office. 1t is said that the former
public printer, Mr.. Palmer, estab-
lished his force with the expectation
hat the amount of work to be done
by this congress would keep pace
with that of former congresses, and
that this IN part accounts for the
large surplus of help Public Printer
Benedict found when he recently as
sumed charge.
The large falling off in general
legislation is attributed to the CEN
tering of interest in the tariff and to
the depleted condition of the treasury.
Senators and members have known
that it was useless to press bills for
public buildings and other appropria-
tons in view of the stringency at the
treasury and have refrained from
urging private measures. Owing to
delays and objections of various kinds
only two private pension bills have
rot fhrNJ1rh tho hnncn onH hoannna
laws. AS a rule the private pension
acts are so numerous that the total of
private bills is very large.
The house calendar up to date is
clear of all appropriation bills except
portant general bills awaiting a hear
ing and eighty-six bills of a general
character not carrying an %appropria-
ton. Among these are bills to admit
New Mexico and Oklahoma to state
sion to examine the Nicaragua
canal route, to finally adjudicate
swamp land grants, to permit PEN
consular inspection of immigrants, to
investigate the effect of machinery
on labor, to investigate the wages of

canals from Lake Superior to the
Mississippi river and from Lake Erie
to the Ohio river, to prohibit dealings
in options, to promote the efficiency of
the naval militia, to establish a uniform
bankruptcy system and to aid the
Southern Cotton exposition. Quite a
number of these will get a hearing,
but the number to be interrupted by
adjournment will be exceptionally
large.

AGAIN LAUNCHED ON ITS VOY-
AGE IN THE HOUSE.
MR.. HATCH OPENS The DEBATE.
He Says That the Bill Has Received Tho
Approval of Every Board of Trade in
the Country-Mr. Warner OF New
York, Delivers a Vigorous
Speech Against the Measure
Bryan Speaks for 1t.

WASHINGTON, June 90. A letter
from the speaker was read in the
house, announcing that on accoun of
sickness lie would be unable to attend
the session of the house yesterday
and appointed Mr.. Bailey Of Texas,
speaker pro TEN. The deficiency bill
was reported by Mr.. Breckenridge of
Kentucky. Mr.. Saycrs of Texas will
have control of the bill on'the floor of
the house. The deficiency bill carries
al appropriation of 81, $50, 593.
Senate bill granting a right-of-way
to the Eastern Nebraska and Gulf
railway through the Omaha and Win
nebago Indian reservations in the
state of Nebraska was passed.
The anti-option bill was then
launched upon its congressional voy-
age. Mr.. Hatch opened the debate
with a speech in favor of the bill. He
said there was not a single provision
in the bill which had not received the
approval of every body of trade in the
country, its charter or rules and regu-
lations which required the actual de
livery of articles purchased for future
delivery. This bill would compel this
delivery honestly and in good faith
and would oblige the boards of trade
to enforce their own regulations,
which they had built up on elaborate
systems for avoiding.
When Mr.. Hatch's time had ex-
pired, Mr.. Warner, Democrat of New
York, delivered a vigorous speech
against the bill, in which he main
tanned hat while it was ostensibly
drawn in the interest of the farmer, a
careful reading showed that it had
been monkeyed with by some one who
was a thousand times more a miller
than the gentleman from Missouri
was a farmer" He maintained that
the passage of the bill would iniure
the export trade of the country. which
was largely carried on by u system of
dealing in options.
MIR. Bryan of Nebraska considered
this a bill to prevent gambling in farm
products and it was unjust to his con-
stituents (who were mainly farmers(
that other men should have the right
to affect the price of their product
after they had taken the risk of rain,
drought, grasshoppers and chinch
bugs. There was no difference be-
tween the action of the burglar who
went to a mans house and robbed him
of his goods, and the action of the
man who on stock exchange drove
down the price of another mans pro-
duct and thus deprived him of so
much to which he a justly entitled.
At sos o'clock Mr.. Bryan concluded
his speech, and the house adjourned.

that would utilize electricity or
gaseous vapor as a motor for agrl-

came up. At the request of Mr..
Platt the two paragraphs, 29s and 20o
of the silk schedule passed over
Saturday we're again passed over.
Schedule M-'pulp papers and
books'-was taken up and Mr.. Frye
offered Q protest against the hrst par
agraph Of the schedule, placing d
duty of 10 per cent on mechanically
ground wood pulp and chemical wood
pulp, bleached and u~nbleached. Inc
production of wood pulp, he said, was
an enormous industry, employing TO-
600 men, turning out u product valued
at $50, 600, 900 and paying an annual
wage of sea, 900, 900. Under the oper-
dIlOn Oh Ilc DICScHb buby bbC SC7O
paper had greatly decreased. Wood
pulp had decreased in price from
four and one-half cents per pound to
one and one-fourth in the last ten
years. 1t was produced in twenty
nine states, but principally in Maine
and New York. He appealed to the
other side to make the duty specific
instead of ad valorem and proposed

on wood pulp mechanically ground,
chemical wood pulp unbleached IS per
ton and bleached Sc so per ton. The
Democratic members of the finance
committee refused to accept the
amendment and it was rejected-20
to %.
The committee figures on the va
rious other articles in the pulp and
paper paragraphs were adopted and
the senate too up schedule N
sundries. The following rates we're
fixed without debate: Hair, pencils
and feather busters 80 per cent;
brooms 20 per cent; button forms 10
per cent; agate buttons 20 per cent;
pearl and shell buttons one cent per
line and 10 per cent; ivory, glass, bone
and horn buttons 35 per cent; shoe
buttons % per cent
The house bill placed coal IN the
free list. The finance committee
amendment placed a duty Of forty
cents per ton on bituminous coal and
shale. fifteen cents on slack and culm
and fifteen per cent advalorem on
coke. AS soon as the clerk had read
this paragraph Mr.. Hill and Mr.. PEI
fer jumped to their feet. The New
York senator was recognized and sent
to the clerks desk an amendment to
relegate bituminous coal and shale to
the free list. He made a speech in
support of free coal and the redemp-
ton of Democratic pledges.
Mr.. Hill said that he reserved the
right to vote for or against the tariff
bill when he should see what it is as a
finality, ~passionatcly exclaiming:
God knows what the bill will be like
when it passes the senate and comes
out of conference. God knows how
many more eXtortiOns and conclusions
viii be wrung from the unwilling
hands of the committee"
The vote on Mr.. Hills motion was

brough, Hill, Irby, Kyle, PETER and

EDUCATION FOR INDIANS.
They Must Hereafter Attend Home
GcbnoIs

Schools.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-A provision
of the Indian appropriation bill, which
was adopted in committee of the
whole, prohibits all Indian children
from attending any school more than
forty miles from their reservation
until they have gone to the school
provided for them at home at least
four years. This provision of the
bill, if it is enacted into a law, will
have the effect of reducing the num-
Der of Indians sent away to eastern
schools and very materially increas-
ing their home education. Several
of. the western representatives are
confident that the Carlisle school will
suffer from the provision.
There is a growing sentiment in
favor of educating the Indians at home
as far as possible, and no legislation
of recent years has been so pronounced
in this direction as that which was in
corporated into the Indian bill.
Representative Curtis of Kansas
made a hard fight to have the section
of the bill approved which secures to
the Indians the principal and interest
due them from Southern states for
the sale of their old reservations. It
amounts now to more than So, 900, 900,
and the states have shown a DISPOSE
ton to defer payment Indefinitely.
The proposition was however, defeat
ed or a point of order.
Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma, will
again attempt to have incorporated in
the bill his Communication plan for
Oklahoma, permitting settlers to
prove up their claims in fourteen
months. Failing to secure this in the
house, an effort will be made to have
the senate make the provision.
