Pecuiiarities Of Our Statesmen.

There is not so much intense acri-
mOny and earnastncss on the part Of

suppose. 1t is not an uncommon thing
fcr senators to sly very severe things
against each other on the floor of the
senate. and then go to the senate res
taurant. and take lunch together in
most cordial, friendly and neighborly
manner. One day recently when Sena-
tor Chandler. of New Hampshire, was
speaking, he taunted the democratic
senators with Indifference to the great
debate, because 'whenevera a republican
senator arises to speak, the democats
all go out of the chamber, as though
fearing they might learn something"
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, the
democratic tariff leader, Immediately
arose and said: "The democratic sem
ators have nearly all left the senate
chamber, because they expect to miss
nothing of value while the senator
from New Hampshire holds the floor"
Half an hour later, Senator Chan
dler and Senator Harris were at lunch,
chatting and laughing chcerily, as
schoolboys on frolic. These states
men are peculiar products of the
genius of American citizenship, Thcv

of sense and nonsense. They do o

is species Of culture to associate with

Col. Tompkins, store keeper at New
York is one Of the officers senior in
rank to Col Batchelder who were
passed over by President Harrison
when the present quartermaster gen
eral was appointed. Col. Tompkins is
one month younger than Gen. Batch
elder and is anxious to be appointed to
the position Of brigadier and quarter
master general, in order that he may
be retired one month later with the
rank and pay of that office.
The struggle for the position of
Quartermaster general among the older
officers Of the army is becoming very
intense, and all of the stories. quarrels.
scandals and disagreements of army
life during the past twenty years are

military plum, which is fast ripening,
have referred to the fact that Col

Queer Plant in Ecuador.

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received, through the
minister from Ecuador to the United
States, specimens of plant known as
cundurangO, found in the province of
Lcya. in Ecuador to which mary clOus
qualities in curing cancer were as
cribed. The physicians in South Amer
lea experimental on this substance and
reported most marvellous cures. It's
virtues are said to have been discov-
cred by accident. An Indian had been
suffering fearfully for long time from
internal cancer, and his wife undertook
to relieve him by shortening his life by
poison. For this purpose she selected
the cundurangO, making a decOction of
the bark. To her astonishmcnt the
first dose seemed to benefit the patient,
and by continuance of this remedy he
was completely cured in a short time.

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.

Judge Philips Prohibits Santa Fe Trainmet
Interfering with Running of Pullmans.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 3O.-Judg.
Philips, III the United States circuit
court this morning, issued an order re-
straining the Santa Fe employees from
interfering with the running of Pull
man cars. The order was made on the
application of the receivers by Gardiner
Lathrop and Samuel w. Moore, of this
city. The application states that the
strikers have threatened to stop the com
pany's trains, and have done so, in their
efforts to prevent the running of sleep
ing cars. 1t asks that they be cnjoined
from congregating on the company's
property, and from crippling the serv
ice in any way. 1t also asks that they
be restrained from quitting the com
pany's employ by precOncerted action.
The order differs from those ISSUED
by other courts in that it admOnishes
the employees not to quit the service of
the company. A direct order not to
quit a cOmpany's service is something
that no court has ever attempted to en-
force and the order by Judge Philips
is as sweeping as any that has been

The Nicaragua Canal Scheme.

A number of bills are before the SEN
ate and house of representative in the
present congress, as they have been be-
fore both houses of a number of pre-
ceding congresses, for the benefit of
the Nicaragua Canal company. One
BILL which is reported as an exceeding
Iy important one, was introduced by
Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, and it pro-
vides: THAT the capital stock of the
Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua
shall consist of one million shares of
one dollar each and no more" The bill
provides that this enormous sum of
money shall be covered by notes issued
by the United States identical in de-
nomination and legal tender qualities
with the United States notes commonly
known as greenbacks. Speaking of
this matter in the senate during the
Fifty-second congress. Senator Davis,
of Minnesota, graphically characterized
the entire Nicaragua canal scheme as
an effort ''to induce the United States
government to take a mortgage on an
earthquake"
A number of capitalists and skillful
lobbyists have intense personal interest
in the Nicaragua Canal company, be-
cause its prime object is to greatly en-
rich few at the expense of the many;
while at the same time it pretends to
be urged upon congress for purely pa
triotic purposes. There are a great
many schemes of this nature which
have their inception, their development
and. too often, their successful conclu-
sion, in the big marble building known
as the capitol of the United States.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, June 3O.-Harrv
Jones and William C. Ricksher. alias
John Clark, who murdered Madame
Wright on September 9, 1893. suffered
death on the gallows yesterday.
With smile on his lips Jones was
hanged inside the walls of the indie
pendence Jail at 9:06 o'clock a. m. He
marched to the scaffold singing a
hymn. and when the trap was sprung
he was the coolest man present.
He was sustained throughout not by
bravadO, but by the consciousness that
he was going straight to Heaven. His
neck was broken by the drop of 6 feet.
and fourteen minutes later life was de-
clared to be extinct by the physicians.
From the time the trap fell until the
last heart pulsatiOn he never moved
muscle, and his death was evidently as
painless as it was rapid.
Clark was hanged in the county jail
IN this city at 11:l0 o'clock. His neck
was broken and he was declared dead
in seven and One-half minutes. Like
Jones he died bravely but his COM
posure came from the determination to
endure the ordeal without fiinching

voice were: May my God forgive

PHILADELPHIA. June 30.-The bitter
ness that has pervaGed the ranks of
the knights of Labor ever since the
meeting of the general assembly in
this city in November, found expression
at meeting held in this city, where
steps were taken looking toward a
thorough overhauling by the courts of
General Secretary-Treasurer John w.
Hayes. The meeting adopted an ap-
peal to the order, setting forth the
reasons which have impelled the sign
ers to the course they have taken.
The appeal concluded with a request
for cooperation by members. One of
the national assemblies in this state
has promised $3.50 toward the prOsecu-
ton of the legal investigation if other
assemblies will supply as much more as
may be needed. The meeting adopted
resolutions condemning the suspension
of Messrs. Powderly, Quinn and Wright
as a fragrant outrage and brutal

Especial Washington Letter !

There is bill pending before the
house committee on military affairs,
the reading Of which carries the mem
ory Of middle-aged men and women
back to an exciting period of our ma
tional history. The bill was introduced
by Congressman Erdrnan, of Pennsyl-
vania, and is as follows:
"WHEREAs,O on July 22, 1861, the house
OF representatives passed the following
resolution: Resolved, That the thanks
Of the house are due and are hereby
rendered to the five hundred and thirty
soldiers from Pennsylvania who passed
through the mob at Baltimore and
reached Washington on the 18th day of
April last for the defense of the ma
tional capital Therefore,
BE it enacted by the'sena and'house
Of representatives of the United States
OF America in congress assembled, that
the secretary Of war be, and he is here
by, authorized and directed to procure
a silver medal, with suitable devices,
to be presented to each Of the several
officers and soldiers and the families
of such as may be dead of the five COM
panics from Pennsylvania, viz: The
Pottsville National Light infantry, the
PottsviIe Washington artillery, the
Reading Ringold artillery, the Lewis
town Logan guards and the Allentown
Allen infantry, who were the first to
reach Washington city for it's defense
on the 18th day Of April, 1861.
''Sec. 2. That the sum Of five hundred
dollars is hereby appropriated out of
any funds in the treasury, not other
wise appropriated for the purpose of
carrying the foregoing act into effect"
Whether the bill can ever be enacted
into law or not nobody can tell: but
1t is stimulus to the memory of many,
and will convey lesson in history to
young readers. The civil war had just
begun. The national capital was
threatened from the south. 1t seemed
impossible that relief could come from
the north, because the city of Balti-
more obstructed the natural highway
with mobs and throngs Of excited and
excitable people. Just at this juncture
the young men from POttsville, Read
ing, LewistOwn and Allentown made
their way into Washington, as the ad-
vance guard of the hundreds of thou
sands of bluc-cOated citizen soldiers
who were yet to come. Immediately
following these Pennsylvania boys
came 'Halsteads Horse of New Jer

RAILWAY BUILDING THIS YEAR.
Lowest HaIf-Year's Record Reported for
Many Years.


New YORK, June 3O.-The Railway
Gazette, in its issue to-day, says: Ger
tainly nobody has been looking for the
present year to make much of record
as year for railroad building, and
probably many will be surprised to
learn that there has been more than a
normal of new railroad building. Yet
the returns of track laid in 1894 up to
July show an aggregate OF 495 miles.
This is the lowest half-ycar's record
that has been reported for years.

the army, the navy. the agricultural,
the diplomatic, the sundry civil, the
Indian and the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bills to consider in COM
mittcc and to report to the senate. All
Of these bills involve the necessity for
a great deal Of prudent and painstak-
ing work, so that it will be practically
impossible for congress to adjourn
within four or six weeks after the tar
iff bill is out of the way
Inasmuch as the tariff bill is not
likely to become a law before July. it
may be anticipated that the congress
will remain in session until the middle
of August.

The Defect in the City Registration
Bill Fixed.

1t seems from dispatch from Atlanta
to the Morning News that the certified
copy of the city registration bill sent to
the electoral commission by Secretary
of State Allen D. Gambler contained a
clerical error, while the reprinted copies
of the bill sent out We're correct.
The printed copies said that the regis
tration books We're to be placed in the
custody of the clerk of the court of ordi-
nary while the certified copy in the pos
session of the electoral commission states
that they are to be placed in the hands of
the clerk of the court or ordinary. The
Senate has passed a joint resolution it
seems to remedy the clerical error in the
bill, which was intended to read "the
clerk of the court of ordinary"
One of the commissioners was some
what puzzled over the statement con-
tanned in the certified copy of the bill. but
the intent of the measure was evident
and this error did not create any extern
