PENSION FOR WIDOW scHwATKA
Suit Against the Stanford Estate to
Begin at Once.

Washington August 14.-The house
committee on pensions has agreed to
the senate bill to pension the widow OF
Lieut.. Schwatka Arctic explorer, at $50
a month.
There is reason to believe the Govern
rnentssclaim against the estate of ex-
Senator Stanford will be tested in the
courts before there has been any act
ual default in payments. Under the
conditions, tie attorney general pro-
posed, n the executrix would waive any
rights she might have by reason of the
premature bringing of the suit, he
would sledly consent to have the pro
ceedings begin at once. No conclusion
has yetjbeen reached, bur it is expected
no ob;setion will be made to that
course, Especially as speedy adjudica-
ton of the claim would be to the inter-
est of the estate. The suit also would
determine the status of the govern
ment's claim against C. P. Huntington
and others

THEY ARE STUCK.
Trying to Adopt Course on the Sup
Elemental Tariff Bills.

Elemental Tarlif BlllS.
Washington, August 1.-THE Demo
cratic leaders of the senate have occu-
pied considerable portion of the day
in trying to determine what course to
pursue with reference to the supple
mental tariff bills. The Democratic
steering committee was in session two
hours after the senate adjourned, trya
ing to determine upon the most advis-
able policy under the circumstances,
and previous to a meeting the consorva-
tives had a conference upon the same
subject. II is understood the conserva-
lives advocate the reference Of the bills
to the finance committee. while the
steering committee is apparently rome.
what divided on the question. The ap-
pearances indicate. however. that
large majority OF the Democratic sem
ators would like to have the bills
passed IL theyscould feel assured their
passage wouldlnot reduce the govern
ment revenues TO too great on extent.
The interest on these bills, as in the
main tariff bill, is the sugar question,
and 1t is to the free sugar bill that
they are giving their attention.
There is an evident tendency on the
part of the majority of the Democratic
senators toward amending the sugar
bill, so as to make 1t o revenue bill,
pure and simple, and It is now the pro-
gram Of the Democratic leaders to-
amend the bill II there should prove to
be a prospect OF its becoming law
reducing the duty, making 1t uniform,
and striking Off the differential on re-
fined sugar.
Secretary Carlisle was at the capitol
today while the conference was In
progress, and was asked to supply his
estimate, which he promises to do.
A leading member Of the steering
committee expressed an opinion that
a duty on sugar of 25 or 80 per cent
would afford all the revenue from that
source that Is needed.

Chicago, August 14.-Strapped down
to his bed, imprisoned by barred Win
dows and locked doors, in a barren
room on the fourth floor Of Washington
Home, "Plunger'' Ed. Partridge, who
Yesterday threw the board of trade into
turmoil by fighting with the door
keeper, is undergoing most rigorous
treatment for alcoholism. He was
brought to the home yesterday by his
son, who was assisted by several
friends. The nervy speculator had to
be conveyed to the home in a closed
carriage, and was placed in charge OF
the doctors by main force He became
violent when he was being searched
preparatory to a protracted stay, and
1t required four attendants to carry
him upstairs and install him in one
of the cell rooms, which are reserved
for the worst patients. Partridge is one
of the most prominent men on the
Chicago Board of Trade, accounted a
multi-millionaire, proprietor of one OF
the largest dry goods stores in the
city, and an operator of great nerve.
He is a unique figure on. the floor of
the board. For months he has been
on the bear side of the wheat market,
and his winnings on change last year
are said to reach into seven figures.
Partridge has of late worshipped freely
at the shrine of Bacchus, and has crc-
ated several scenes on change. A few
days since, he appeared on the floor
in an unsteady condition, and threw
money broadcast about the pit, raising
such an uproar. that he was suspended
for sixty days. Yesterday he attempt |
ed to go on the floor, and after a fierce
fight with the door-keeper, was finally !
carried from the building. At Wash !
ingtdn home Partridge succeeded in
as much excitement among
the inmates today as he did on change
yesterday. Two attendants went to the
"plunger's'' room and subdued him.
Later, when he heard steps in the hail,
he made ready to brain some of his
captors with chair, and one of the at
tendants barely escaped. Superintend-
ant Somerville said: 1T is our belief
that we shall effect an ultimate and
cure. but just now, he Is
not in very encouraging condition"
