ciffc Road near his house, aud shortly after
wards he WAS totally paralyzed, from the

HILL ATTACKS THE COAL DUTY.
He Wants 1t on the Free List, but Has Not
Enough Votes.

He Wants 1t on tho Free List, But Has Not
Enough Votes.
WASHINGTON, june 19.--The feature of
the day in the senate was the effort of Hill
to have coal placed on the free list. He
moved IN amendment to the tariff bill to
that effect and supported it with speech,
in which he said he simply wanted to call
the attention of his Democratic colleagues
to the fact that the country expected
Democratic congress in any tariff reform
measure to place coal on the free list 1t
had been demanded by the Democratic
platform and by every Democratic senator
who had spoken during the campaign OF
1892. If there was anything to which the
party was pledged it was free raw ma
terials and if there was any raw material
it was coal.
PETER followed Hill in support of free
coal, although on a different line. He
raised a laugh at the outset by saying
that he had more stronger reason for
advocating free coal than the demand of
Democratic platform. Il have no more
respect" said he. ''for the Democratic
platform than the Democrats themselves
have.s Vest said he understood Hill was
opposed to this bill on account of its in
come tax feature. yet he comes here, -
sstid vest, anu stShS WIZ GULL tiic1 US "
place law On coal We are here to give
information, but not to those who know
as much about this matter as ourselves. !"
Hill declared that he was opposed to
certain features of the bill-the socialistic
and populistic income tax in particular
but no one, he declared, had a right to
say be was opposed to the bill and was
seeking to compass its defeat. God
knows what the bill will be like when it
passes the senate and comes out of confer
ence," said he passionately. God knows
how many mere extortions and conces-
sions Will be wrung from the unwilling
hands of the committee. l reserve the
right to vote for it or not when l see what
it is as a finality."
A number of senators spoke pro and con,
and Perkins said he should not vote ON the
proposition because he had a personal in
terest in coal on the Pacific coast. When
the vote was taken there were only seven
[ ayes-Allen, Kyle and PETER, Populists;
Hill and lrby, Democrats, and Hans
brough and Washburn, Republicans;
while the nay vote was fifty-one. Hill also
moved to put coke on the free list. but was
again beaten-4 to 46.

SAYS HE is A NETS INDIAN.

His Worlds Fair Yearnings-A world's
Anarchist Conference.
The newspaper man closed his account
OF the modern alleged Guy Fawkes as fol-
lows: 'Jaxon says he is an Indian of the
Metis tribe. He was in the Riel rebellion
in the northwest some years ago, and was
Riels secretary More fortunate than
Riel, who was executed by the Canadian
government, ,Iaxon escaped TO this coun-
try and settled in Chicago. He had not
been long settled in Chicago before his
name was talked of in connection with the
anarchist movement that eliminated in
the Haymarket affair. There was nothing
to indicate, however, that he had any
thing to do with it, and consequently the
police left hii:: free to enjoy any glory
that might attach to him.
when the Worlds fair was in the for
NATIVE stage Jaxson doomed up again as
the representative of the Indians and
wanted n congress of Indians, and heaven
only knows what else Indian in connection
with it. He was turned down in this, and
after a brief period of subsistence turned
up as a leader in the agitation against the
election of Carter Harrison for mayor a
year ago. He was the originator of the
Post Office Box G66" scheme that was de-
signed to let the people of that city select
anything to bea: Harrison" and hob
nobbed with Lyman j. Gage and other
leading citizens about that time. But
Harrison was elected and Jaxson again
went into eclipse for awhile
1T wasn't for long. During the Worlds
fair it struck Jaxon that IN international
conference of anarchists should be held.
Chicago, with its cosmopolitan popoula-
ton, always has the materiel for such a
gathering handy. Jaxon had an office in
the Chicago Times building which served
him for bedroom at night. This Office
closely adjoined that of Carter Harrison.
When the time of the meeting arrived
Jaxon notified the police, and they saw
and heard all the proceedings. Result,
columns of newspaper talk and delight
on Jaxon's part over the publicity. Since
that time Jaxon has been in hard luck.
He has been out Of money and out of bus
