A DIVIDED OPPOSITION.
Republicans Differ as to How to
 Fight the T Tariff Bill.
THEIR CAUCUS CAME TO NAUeHT.

Senator Frye Stirs Up the Democrats When
 He Talks of sugar-CoIored Coxeyite Ad-
 dresses Speaker Crisp From the Gallery of
 the House and Causes Sensation.
 WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Republican senatorial caucus at Sherman's house was without result. No vote was taken, but there was general exchange of opinions, and the meeting broke up about midnight with the understanding that each indi- vidual should vote and act with reference to the tariff bill in accordance with his own wishes.
 The caucus partook more of the nature of an informal conference than business meeting, and while it was called with the purpose of arriving at a conclusion as to the method to be pursued by the Repub- lican party in the senate it closed without eliciting anything in the way of 8 party declaration. There was no vote on any proposition whatever, and the proceedings consisted of a large number of speeches.
 There were about 25 of the 37 Repu blican senators present, and every one there had something to say in the course of the even ing. There was great divergence of views. Indeed the accounts of the meeting agree that while there were probably 20 speeches, most of them of course brief, no two of them were on the same lines or advised the same manner of proceeding. There was no agreement except upon the one point that the bill should be beaten if possible. On general lines the greatest divergence of opinion was on the ability of the Repub- licans to beat the bill at all, and while there was no formal division which would permit of counting the caucus appeared to be about evenly divided in sentiment upon this question.
 A statement that eastern senators were favorable to the continuation of the oppo- sition on the lines which are now being ob- served, and that western senators were op- posed to any effort to secure delay for de- lays sake, would be in general way cor rect, but there were exceptions on both sides
 Senators Aldrich, Chandler, Frye and others contended that the bill could be de feated, and they said that all that was necessary to demonstrate the correctness of this assertion was to give the Demo crats time to widen the breach which they asserted now exists. Some of them de clared that four or five Democratic votes could be counted on as opposed to the bill, while one of those present went so far as to say that he was assured of the opposi- tion of at least seven Democratic senators. No names of Democratic senators were given, however.
 The opposition element contended that there was no positive assurance of any Democratic support in opposition to the bill, and that the only means of testing the truth of rumors of Democratic dissatis- faction was to let the voting go on. There was much talk as to the general demerits and inconsistencies of the bill.

 For Six Months.
 HYATTsvILLE, Md, May 15.-The au. thorities here and at Bladensburg are de termined to keep the whip hand over the Coxeyites and prevent lawlessness of any kind. Thirty special deputies have been appointed to patrol the roads of both places day and night. As there are al ready 600 Coxeyites in camp, as advance guards of Galvin's, Kelly's and Frye's armies have arrived and as General Coxey reasserts that he proposes to remain until every commohwealer in the country has arrived and congress has passed the bills, the danger of an immense camp of Coxey- ties becomes an alarming reality. As a result three companies of volunteers have already been organized here, and Adju- tant General Douglas has been asked for arms and ammunition.

Do this twice more, and the onions when cooked will be more delicate, but they will no doubt have lost some of their valuable proper. fias

tonishment when staIwart negro in the gallery immediately opposite Speaker Crisp suddenly broke in upon the pending debate
 "Mr. Speaker, Mir. Spcakerl" called the man repeatedly from the gallery. The reading clerk paused, and members start ed in their seats at this strange interrup- tion.
 "Mr. Speaker" continued the intruder, ''unless the Coxey bills are passed by the 22d inst. this capitol and the treasury and the White House will be struck by thun- der and lightning. Almighty God has told me so."
 The man was about to proceed when Speaker Crisp, in stern voice, ordered the doorkeepers in the gallery to eject the dis turber.
 Doorkeeper Bowen went to remove the man. The latter offered no serious resist ance to being removed. He. however, fell against the seat as Bowen grasped him and hustled him off, and he fell again on reach ing the corridor outside. He was taken down stairs and placed in temporary lookup.
 While being taken down stairs he said that~God had commanded him to make this and one more speech. The next one was to be at the White House, after which he would be ready to die.
 The doorkeepers in the house lobby ad- joining Speaker Crisp's room recognized the man as suspicious caller early in the day. He asked to see Speaker Crisp and then to go on the floor of the house. Both requests were denied, after which he went to the gallery.
 When questioned, he gave his name as Matthew A. Cherry and his residence as Fourteenth and Boundary streets. His oc- cupation, he said, was that of a black smith. He announced himself to be 8 servant of the Lord and said he was nov ed to take the step he did while lying ;n bed last night.
 Once before, while living in Hogansville, Ga, he was moved in a similar manner and proceeded in the streets of that vil- lage to read four chapters from the Bible. He was ruthlessly dealt with, however, to his great personal discontinue.
 The resignation of Representative Barnes Compton of Maryland was laid be fore the house, after which bill was pass ed authorizing the Braddock and Home stead Bridge company to build bridge over the Monongahela river at Home stead, Pa.

Soft Coal Famine In Buffalo.

BUFFALO, May 15.-The coal situation in Buffalo is serious. At rough estimate the entire amount of soft coal in the city will hardly last over two weeks. The operators have advised asheir customers to be saving in the use of their coal and as far as possible utilize during the stringen- cy any other fdel they can get.
 There is at present no soft coal really on sale in Buffalo. Dealers are holding and furnishing supplies to those with whom they have contracts and are not very anx- ious to get rid of any coal. While it has been easy to obtain coal at 50 cents at the mines, the price has been going up until now the cost delivered in Buffalo, without choice of grade or mine, averages from s to $3.20, depending to considerable ex- tent on the supply held by the owner of the coal and not upon the wants of the cOnsrDer

Proceedings In Senate and House.

WASHINGTON, May 15-The senate de. bate on the tariff dragged wearily on, the Republicans nagging and harassing the majority and baking progress at every step. Only six paragraphs of the second section of the bill-those relating to alumni na, alum and it's products, ammonia and its products, bone char, borax, camphor and chalk-were disposed of as a result of seven hours work.
 The senate is now on page 3, paragraph II, of the second section. There are 231 pages, 690 paragraphs in the second section and 1o5 sections in the bill. A glance at this will show the progress made as the senate entered upon the seventh week of the debate.
 About 25 amendments were offered by the Republicans to the six items upon which the rates were fixed and debated with persistency which exasperated the Democrats beyond measure. The latter kept their temper fairly well, however, and refused to be drawn into controversy. The only features of the days proceedings were MT. Platt's observations on the al legged surrender of the Democrats to the Sugar trust.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa., May 15.-The only change in the strike situation in this sec- tion of the region was slight increase in the working forces in most of the active plants and the resumption at Hill Farm mine with full force of men. When the time came to go to work at Hill Farm, there was 8 rush for jobs, and many men had to be turned away. Those who could not be given employment went peaceably to their homes They say they must have bread and will go to work the moment any of the present force comes out on strike. The strikers are worried over the break ID their ranks at Hill Farm and have taken steps to check the stampede before the movement spreads to other plants. A big raid has been planned by the strikers of this end of the region to take place today.
 They propose to march from points north of Connellsville and if possible bring out all the men at work at Hill Farm, Oliver, Kyle and the Martin coke works at Fair chance. All the plants but Kyle have dep uties to guard the men at work Trouble iS faura6

ing to Lady Aberdeen In recent adj
dress before the Toronto Women council
she recounts some of the abuses she has
found in Toronto.

80 cents a dozen; coats for 80 cents apiece,
supplying the thread; little boys over
coats, with buttons in front and three
pockets, for IA cents each, the making of
one taking day and half, and more of
the same bitter eXtortion, she says:
These are only samples, ladies, but
one would scarcely believe that here in
Toronto this state of things could exist;
that there are women not living, but ex-
isting, on such wages. What are the temp
tations these girls are being exposed tor
How can we meet and pride ourselves on
the progress of the world and of all the
good works which are going on in our
midst and yet think that there are all
these left TO struggle through life in this
wayy How can you expect anything in
the way of morality or spiritual life from
these poor girls' And yet think of the

bic temptations they have to endure, and
think what that means, how in "A moment

WALL some huge stones fell outward and
were seen by sentinel, who gave the
alarm, and the work was stopped.
Soon after that the National guard os
Paris arose in instruction and threatened
to mob the Temple and release the prison
ers. The jailer was panic stricken, but
armed himself for the defense of his life,
fully expecting that the mob would sacri-
fee him as a state official. The admiral
seized u pistol and declared that he was
ready to fight in defense of the prison.
The insurectionists demanded admittance
to the Temple, hut that being stoutly re
fused them they hesitated about storming

and quelled the outbreak. The jailer and
the admiral became warm friends, and he
was allowed his freedom periodically by
giving parole.

was removed, and his successor adopted
stringent rules for the famous English

against the act ms fresh persecution of
