prices ever paid for trotting stock. The farm
was managed under the firm name OF Brown

financial backer. When no first came to the
Senate. in 1887. he sat next to tho late Senat
Stanford Of California. and during the long. dry
debates those two horse lovers sat and talked
about the bloodsd horses Of the present and the
future It was during friendly conversation Of
this kind one day that the Senator from Mich

accepted. and for some time aftarwsrd Mr..

voted. and that, under the constitution.
nothing would then be in order save an
adjournment on call of the house.
He then announced the result.
l69 to 5. five short of a quorum. Mr..
Bland shouted out that quorum would
nave voted on that call had all the
friends of the measure been where thew
should have benin their seats. He
then moved call of the house. Mr.
Reed Insisted on the yeas and nays.
Inc call or the house was ordered, 1S9
to- 4. The call developed the presence
of 265 members. Mr.. Bland moved to
d'spense with further proceedings under,
the call, and on that motion N:. Reed
forced the yeas and nays. Further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with, lS3 to 3, and the vote then re-
Cured upon Mr.. Bland's demand for
the previous question, on the motion to
limit debate.
THE DEADLOCK
was broken on this vote after two
weeks of filibustering. The demandl
for the previous question on Mr.. Bland'sI
motion was sustained-177 to Z. Loud
cheers greeted the announcement. Mr.
Tracey Immediately moved to reconsid-l
er the vote by which the demand was
sustained. A quorum having been Sc
cured, Mr.. Cultivate from the commit
tee on rules, reported special order to !
discharge the committee OF the whole
from further consideration OF the pend /
Ing Dill (the seigniorage billy and pro-
Vidlng that after two hours considera-
ton in the house, the previous question.
should be considered as ordered on the
Dill. and, pending amendments, no in
tervenlng motions to be in order Upon
the adoption of the order Mr.. Outh-
waite demanded the previous question.
AS the roll call was proceeding Mr.
Reed precipitaied a lively scene by
challenging the correctness of the tally.
Amid cries Of regular order he explained
that he challenged the announcement
upon the statement OF MIR. Tracey,
who had kept tally. The speaker sug-
gested emphatically that MIR. Tracey was
not the keeper of the rolls of the house.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Reed insisted that he
was entitled to respectful treatment.
Mr.. Cultivate called attention to the
fact that MIR. Tracey had not himself
challenged the correctness OF the count,
but had recognized its integrity by a
motion to reconsider. Mr.. Tracey ex-
planned that his tally showed that only
ia members had voted. but he was not
prepared to press his claim of errors,
and the roll call proceeded.
The speaker had his name called on
the demand of the previous question on
the adoption of the special order, aud it
was sustained-170 to 10-one more than
a quorum. The vote was then taken on
the adoption of the special order. The
quorum was lost on the vote on the
adoption of the special order-165 to IL
three short of quorum.
The house was again blocked, Just as
the last barrier was being removed, and
Mr.. Cultivate stated that this gu estion
would come up as soon as the house
convened tomorrow, anu moved an adj
Journment. 1t was carried and then.
at O'clock, the house adjourned.

GROVER our SIGHT.
No Word From the President and
His Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-Presuming
that the presidential party on the Violet
ran along through the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal without detention
yesterday, as reported from Norfolk,
they should now be in Corituck sound,
North Carolina. The length of the canal
from Norfolk to the sound is something
less than thirty miles, but they are very
crooked miles, indeed, and rapid prog
ress would scarcely be possible, so that
it would probably require most of the
daylight hours yesterday to make the
trip. The Violet draws seven feet OF
water, and the canal is eight feet deep,
so that the passage could be made
without difficulty on that score. Once
in Corituck. the party would be in the
paradise of sportsmen. So great is the
fame Of these shooting grounds among
Sportsmen that nearly every acre of the
sand pit between the sea and Corituck
sound affording vantage ground for

orally of men OF wealth from Baltimore,

bic for sportsmen to find shooting
ground unless he has the permission Of
some of the shooting clubs. Doubtless
Capt. Evans has attended to this before.
leaving Washington, and the party may
avail of the courtesies OF some of these
clubs, either by taking up headquarters
at the club houses. or by enjoying the
use of their blinds and ducking para
phernaiia. while stopping aboard their
vessel or at one of the life saving sta
tions on the coast. Capt. Evans is known
to be an expert with the shot gun, and
his associates in the lighthouse board
say that his love for duck shooting is
so ardent that he would undergo ex-
treme physical discomfort for good
bag of game. The president also is
game sportsman as is we'll known. {
Neither Mr.. Thurber nor Capt. Evans
associates on the lighthouse board have
heard anything from the party since
they left Washington, nor do they ex-
pect any news until advised of their
early return. /

BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 2S.-Edward

plant of Register OF Deeds w. A.

coner swears Allen confessed to
him that he had taken the book to make
alterations in the lease from E. II. BLY,,
owner of the Sheridan house, to Allen
as lessee of the building. Allen denies
the charge in toto, and says it is the re-
suit OF a political scheme to harm him
as mayor, as the city election is only a
month away. There is great excitement
over the matter. A hearing was held
tonight, and will be continued tOmor-

Passes Away

CREsToN, To-, Feb. 28.-Judge j. W.
McDill, of the Interstate commerce
commission, died at his home in this
city of typhoid fever, aged sixty. He
was prominent in state and national
politics, having served as district Judge,
railroad commissioner, member of con-
greSs and United States senator from
this state. During the last hours of
Judge McDill all the members of his
family were gathered about the bed

on by her prOtracted attendance at the
bedside of her husband, Mrs. McDill
was obliged to retire from the room
half an hour before the end came. The
judge was unconscious eight hours pre-
ceding death. The end was calm and
peaceful. Just before losing conscious
ness the judge spoke of the grand life
of Christian, as portrayed III Bunyan's
"Pilgrim's Progress" as life worthy
of emulation.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. Pa

members was held tonight to talk over
the matter of organizing sample board.
The mills of this city use 100000
bushels of wheat annually, ,and there isa
strong demand for sample board Of
trade at Superior. A guarantee
fund was raised to defray the eX-
penses Of sample board for a
year. Another important matter which
was warmly discussed was the advisa-
bility of admitting wheat free from the
Canadian Northwest. James Bardon
one of the most influential citizens OF
Northern Wisconsin, presented reso-
luton which cited that the very "supe-
rior quality of wheat raised in the Cana
dian Northwest. with which terri
tory Superior and Duluth will
soon be directly connected by the
Canadian Pacific, be encouraged to
seek market at the head Of the lakes
by the repeal of the present tariff
duties" The resolution asked that
congress be asked to repeal the duties
on wheat produced in the Canadian
Northwest, and also that the Wilson
bill be altered on this question. The
millers were in favor Of the resolution,
but action was delayed until the matter
could De laid before the Duluth millerS.
