FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, May 10
SENATE.

Mr.. Allen offered resolution, on
which he asked immediate action, call
ing on the Secretary OF the Treasury
for information on the following points :
Total number of the persons engaged
in protected industries of the United
States whose wages are or may be
claimed to be affected by tariff legisa-
ton.
Total number of persons so engaged
whose wages will not be affected.
Proportion of the population Of the
United States that depends upon the
foreign market for the sale Of their
prodHcts-classitying the industries.
Total number OF such persons who
are native born citizens, the total num-
Der who are naturalized, and the total
number who are aliens
Aud at what ratio alien mechanics
and laborers are taking the places Of
native and naturalized citizens in the
protected industries.
All this information to be based upon
the census of 1890.
D[r. .Chapdler.-Let that resolution
90 over and be printed. | take oc-
casion to suggest to the Senator from
Nebraska that before be asks for its
adoption it would be well to ascertain
whether or not the Secretary of the
Treasury has the means of answering
the inquiries am afraid the Senator
will find that there are no immediate
data from which answers can be ma &c.
Mr.. Allen-Answers to a resolution
of substantially the same character we're
made by the Secretary of the Treasury
in lSS6-based on the census of 1850.
This resolution is not new thing by
any means.
The resolution went over till to-mor-
row.
The calendar was taken up and bills
we're passed as follows:
Placing on the unlimited retired list
Capt. D. r. Ransom, Sd Artillery.
Defining and fixing the northern
boundary of the Warm Springs, Ore,

Reimbursing the officers and crew of

cd by the wreck of that vessel.

the pending question, "Choral ny
drate, % per cent. ad volorem," was
agreed to, as was also the next item,
"Cbloroform 25 cents per pound" The
next item, Goal tar colors or dyes,
was changed from 20 to p per cent. al
vqlorem.
During the discussion Mr.. Vest said
that it was very evident that it was the
intention Of the republican side of the
chamber to kill the bill by delay. (Cries

Coxey and His Men.


WASHINGTON, May 15.-"If Coxey is
sentenced today, as ne will be, he will
refuse to pay fine, and he will 60 to
JAIL" said Col. Redstone, Gen. Coxeys
local representative, this morning.
"Coxey will spend the rest of his days
in confinement before he will pay a fine
for exercising bis privileges as an
American citizen. Browne will proba-
bly, be sentenced with him and he, TOO,
will 60 to jail rather than pay his fine"
"What will become of the Common
wealers if Coxey and Browne are lock-
ed up?" he was asked.
"They will remain in camp and be-
have themselves. They will be joined
this week by six hundred Common
wealers under Calvin and 1000 more
before many days under Fry. They
intend to remain in Washington until
Congress listens to their demands
They might as we'll starve to death
here as anywhere else. They intend to
remain in Washington until the next
Congress meets. More than that, CoXey
will yet make his speech from the front
steps of the Capitol. Who will prevent
him? Not these Goldfish plutocrats of
the House and Senate. They don t
represent the people. The people are
with us. If Coxey goes to jail for a
week twenty-five thousand people will
90 down to the Jail to give him re-
ception when he comes out. Our cause
is growing every day, and Congress
will yet be forced to comply with our
demands"
AT latest reports this morning the
Coxey tramps We're still coralled in the
inn yard at Bladensburg, but the lead
stone of the adjacent bar room was
proving too strong an attraction for the
maintenance Of discipline, and arrests
of stragglers and deserters for drunken
ness are growing common. Though
Brown asscverates that he has six hun
dred men inside the board fence, actual
count discloses scant two hundred.
Some of the men slept in hunks last
night, but most OF them laid on straw.
Coxey and his wife and child are com
tortably quartered in the hotel and
Carl Browne also takes care to keep a
roof over bis head at night. Visitors
are not numerous and gate receipts
continue light. Even as dime freak

have lost its interest and drawing pow

melt away OF itself in few more days

TRIED TO kIDNAP a GIRL.-The
timely arrival of the police Saturday
night frustrated bold attempt made
by two strangers to abduct Miss Mary
Stuhl, the pretty 16-year-old daughter
of Jacob Stuhl, Of Lambertville. n. J.
The men who attempted to kidnap the
girl were captured after furious chase
and lodged in Jail, but they refuse to
reveal their names or what their object
WAS in attempting to carry Off Miss
Stuhl. The young lady is greatly pros
trated by her startling experience, and
can give no explanation OF the strange
affair.
The attempt to abduct Miss Stuhl
was made while she was walking along
the main street Of the town, with a
Young man of her acquaintance. They
paid no attention to n buggy, in which
two men were seated, which came
down the road at rapid pace until ii
suddenly pulled into the curb and the
occupants alighted in front of the cou-
pie. Then one of the men seized Miss
Stuhl and attempted to drag her to the
vehicle, while the other one fourished
razor and threatened to kill the girls
escort if he offered any resistance.
Fortunately the young lady's screams
OF terror were heard by the police, and
they ran to the spot. Tie two strang-
ers ut once released their intended vic
tim and attempted to escape in their
team, but they were captured after an
exciting chase.
