CoxEY and Brown have been found guilty by Washington jurors of unlawful ly entering the capitol grounds with ban- ners. Pending motion for new trial, they are at liberty under $500 bonds each. The army is being daily reinforced by tramps, and is likely to be ordered soon to "move on," or committed as nuis- ance. It comes to us pretty straight that western cities are contributing money to move undesirable people east; not to aid Coxey but to rid themselves of a bad lot of men.

THE contest opens warmly-red -hotly, in fact-in the Ashland (Breckinridge's) congressional district. MT. Breckinridge has opened the canvas with a speech, in which he used all his persuasive elo- quence, confessing grievous shining, but claiming the atonement of the full est need of repentance and of punish ment endured in the exposure. His so- phistries captivated the crowd, which went wild with enthusiasm, but served up in cold type the arguments are conspicrl- ously weak, and his cause seems to have been hurt rather than promoted. The opposition sentiment is awakened. The Louisville Courier Journal heretofore neutraD calls for Breckinridge's defeat. A Lexington paper says that Breckin- ridges trial is over, and that it is the people of Kentucky who are on trial in this asked-for endorsement. The follow ing Is an extract from Breckinridge's speech:
 "When David fled from Jerusalem to meet the insurrection of Absalom, as he came to Bahurim, Shimea, the son of Cara, came forth and cursed him as he came and cast stones at him. May I, who have been cursed, at whom stones have been thrown, take unto myself some of the consolation which David took He had sinned. He had confessed that sin. He had bowed himself into the, dust be- fore him who had crowned him with ines timable and numberless benefactions, but 1 4l, A.. who had not set him aside for inferior and less worthy men, who still trusted him with the government of his chosen and peculiar people, and now to those around him he stilied their wrath at those who had cursed him with the trustful declaration: It may be that the Lord will look on mine affiiction and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.'"

ON Monday Senator Jones presented over 400 amendments to the tariff bill, changing the Wilson bill so utterly as to make it almost entirely new bill. The amendments to the income tax provision are very unsatisfactory. Cotton goods are better treated than any other large industry. The woolen people are much disappointed. They had been led to ex- pect notifications which would give them a fair degree of protection, whereas the proposed changes, with few exceptions, leave the rates about where they were in the Wilson bill.

ALL the Chhinamen in this district have now been registered, with one ex- ception. There are 572 of them-497 in Connecticut and 165 in Rhode Island. The exception is a Rhode Islander, who gleefully says that he wants to go back to China, was going any way, and is glad to be deperted, so saving to himself cost of passage home. The Hartford Post says:
 The Chinamen as rule have not ob- jected to the tedious program of visiting the artists studio, filing their applica- tons, appearing and registering in the presence of some witnesses that would vouch for them, The work has been done not without objections on the part of the Chinamen, but their reluctancy has been thoroughly counteracted by the vigilance and activity Of the revenue off, cers in this district. Probably in no oth- or district in this country has such per-. feet registration been accomplished. A copy of the names, numbers. and resi- dences of the Chinamen is kept in the revenue office in this city. NoChinaman can now become eligible to reside in this country unless engaged on particular mission such as a student or a member of a diplomatic corps.

Reed Brothers Got Into a Quarrel
Which Ended In Murder.

LOWELL, Mass, sept. lO.-The muroer
An Graniteville on Saturday, when Willard
Reed killed his brother Charles in self
defense, as he claims, during quarrel, is
the talk OF the country districts for miles
around. Mrs. Reed, the mother, has
reached home from Bitchburg, and Is
nearly prostrated by the shock
The crime was the direct result OF hard
cider drinking. The dead man is about 30
years old and his murderer about 40 years.
Since the death of their father, several
years ago, they have lived with their
mother in little farmhouse. The mother
is a very respectable woman, as is shown
by numerous evidences within the house.
The boys, however, true sons of disso-
lutte father, were shiftless and dissipated.
Their worst enemy has been hard cider,
which was easily accessible. Into cider
mill, apparently, has gone all prosperity
OF the family.
Charles Reed tho victim, was n we'll
built man, about oft lin high, with a fine
brown mustache and beard and high fore
head HIS brother Willard resembles
him, save that his beard is black and he is
not so tall. Neither of them were ever
married.

FIRES SURROUND HIM.

MINNEAPoLIs, Sept. 10.--A Duluth spe-
cial TO The Tribune says the operator at
Mahtowa yesterday afternoon reported
fire all around him and choking smoke
AT Sturgeon Lake and Moose Lake fires
also caused uneasiness TO residents there
but no positive reports of disaster had
been received up to a late hour last night.
The north bound limited arrived at Du-
luth at 10 o'clock last night, three hours
late.
Passengers reported much fire all along
outside the district week ago. A Pine
City special says danger from fire In that
city has not yet passed. Yesterday after
noon the strong wind stirred up great
fire just north OF the town, but the wind
subsided at night and the damage is at
least temporarily over.
AT Rush City, the residents became SO
frightened that they boarded freight
train standing on the tracks SO as TO be
ready for departure, but the danger passed
when the wind subsidized.

Died OF NEGLECT.


BRocKToN, Mnss, Sept. 1O-Horatio
Jacobs deserted his family a few days since,
leaving wife and two children in almost
destitute circumstances. Mrs Jacobs
wished 20 leave the tenement where
she was living and go elsewhere, but her
landlord refused 60 allow her TO take her
effects. On Saturday she took her two
children, aged, respectively, years and 4
wooks 20 a neiRhbor, Mr. Clantenburg,
and no one being in the house at the time,
left the children in room. Mr.. Clanten-
burgreturned later in the day. and finding
the children there, notified thepolioe. Upon
their arrival the officers found the young
est child dying, and before the city physi-
clan arrived the child was dead. The in
fant evidently died from neglect.
