ENGLAND GIVES UP.
There VIII Be Material Reduction of
the Tariff.

LONDON. May 22.-The Chronicle says:
There is world OF meaning in the decision
of the Repu blican Senators in the United
States Congress to allow liberty of action
on the tariff bill. The Chronicle argues
that there is little difference between the
proposed bill and the Mckinley law, and
says that the Republicans think if the
Democrats now make admittedly necessary
changes in the Mckinley law it will save
the Republicans much time and trouble
when they accede TO power. Hard times
have played the mischief with President
Cleveland's policy, for the continued ex-
ports of gold after the silver law, to which
he ascribed them. was repealed gave color
TO the truth of the contention OF the high
tariff people that the free-trade agitation
was responsible for the paralysis of trade
and the outflow OF gold. The feeling has
grown strong and general that the time is
not ripe for change in economy. and it
would be wise for British traders with the
United States TO address their business 70
the prospect of no material reduction in
the tariff.

Mrs. Alex. gray-naired, pleasant-faced,
specialized delegate from Los Angeles,
raised the point that the convention was
getting on swimmingly before it had re-
ceived any report on cTeden tials, But as
after recess the report came in promptly
she did not urge her point.

o'clock the galleries contained a large

There were no delegates present from

On motion OF Johnson of Red Bluff it
was decided that all resolutions should be
referred to the proper committee.
A great deal of time was consumed in
the reading of resolutions, all of which
were strongly POpuIistIc. and many were
loudly applauded. One of the first to start

Young Ryan emptied his revolver and
retreated to a neghboring cabin. His

cabin, where he was cared for and a
physician summoned. The doctor found

taken to Hanford. Young Ryan was
placed under arrest and lodged in the
County Jail.
All the parties in the ARRAY are well

fact that the row occurred at the primary

DENVER, May 22.-Delegates to the an

Photographers are making slow progress,
only about 125 delegates having been pro-
nounced entitled to seats. About twenty
delegates were seated to-day, both Ramsay
and the opposition factions claiming to
have profted thereby. The fight for and
against Grand Chief Teiegrapher Ramsay
is being warmly waged, ont the election is
set for such a late date that no reliable
forecast as to the result can be made.
The strongest opposition candidate at
present is W. V. Powell of Wichita, Kans.
The main point urged against Ramsay Is
extravaganza in handling the funds of the
order. There is no intimation of dis
honorable conduct.

when the laws of the white car con-
denim the hapless Russian, and when hope
dries up in his breast, three prospects loom
up before him. OF these two are to be con-
templated with comparative equanimlty,
and the mere thought of the third is
enough to turn a mans brain. They are,
being shot, being hanged and Katorga.
Being shot is tolerable, being hanged,
without being so desirable, is nevertheless
fate than which many are worse, but
Katorga is as the blight of God. 1t with
ers many, it kills many, and many it turns
into beasts. 1t is truly the living death.
The sun shuns Katorga, the knot cuts
the flesh into minee, and unless you are
very lucky in Katorga it takes you years
and years to die.
In Russia you often see families who
wear no mourning, and yet there are gaps
in the home circle, and the women pray
long in the churches even as they pray
for loved ones that are dead and their eyes
become black ringed from sadness. If you
ask them why this grief and sorrow, they
fear to even answer, but when you gain
their confidence and ask for him you fancy
may be dead the whispered response is

why He Never Lights the Costly Weede
He Always Uses.
William B. Bate. twice elected senator
from Tennessee, never lights cigar.
He has always one in his fingers or be-
tween his lips, but no match is put to it.
He is familiar figure in the upper
chamber - his abundant snow white
hair, carefully tended mustache Of the
same color, his stopped form and lined
face, with massive UNDERLYING jaw,
making him marked in an assembly of
strong personalities. His advocacy Of
the "dry smoke" as it is called, and his
habit of using % cent weeds as chewing
tobacco, have continued for more than
quarter Of century. A story is at
tached. He is the last man in the world
whom one would suspect of superstition,
but his avoidance of matches is due to
that part of our natures and to nothing
else.
He entered the war as n private when
his state seeded from the union, and
rose through the successive grades of
lieutenant, captain, lieutenant colonel,
colonel, brigadier and major general.
He had taste of military life in the
Mexican war and embraced the first OPP
portunity to re-enter it, One day to-
ward the close of the long and bitter
struggle, when the two stars of the ma
ior general were ON his shoulder, his
corps, which was part of the army Of
the Tennessee, was engaged in a battle
in the mountain.
At that time he was an inveterate
smoker. Always cool in action, his cigar
case was as much part Of his makeup
as his horse and saddle. Along toward
noon, when the fire from the Federals
under assault was particularly heavy
and vicious, he moved up to an exposed
position in order to give countenanca to
