MRS. LEASE IN DANGER.
A Crank Who Proposes to Kill Her
on the Goth.

Wichita. Kas., May S.-Today, the
chief of police of this city received a
letter from some crank residing at
Kenyon, Mimi, in which there were
enclosed $40 to buy pure white flow
ers, to be placed on the body of Mrs;
Lease on the day of her funeral"
which he sets down for May 20. He
also specifies that part of the money
must be used to purchase oil to pour
upon her feet. He says the Nazarene
came to him in vision with a cross
of blood on his breast and commanded
him to kill Mrs. Lease on the 10th,
that her designs to subvert His king
dom on earth might be thwarted.
He alleges the Nazarene also told
him President Cleveland was a man
of honest purposes, who would
eventually straighten out the kink
that at present threatens the business
of the country, and that Prendergast,
the assassin of Carter Harrison, is go
ing to be made an arch-angel after
being hung.

Washington, D. c., May s.-Reed au-
thorizes the following concerning the
tariff amendments made public today:
1.-THE presentation by the Senate nm
ance committee of eighty-one pages OF
amendments, apparently more than 4Oo'
is a delicate compliment to Mr.. Wilson
and. his House of Representatives.. It
virtually says the House bill is right
except on four or five hundred points.
This will hardly tend to restore conf
dence in the country, especially as
every amendment smacks of prior ig-
norance or present barter. Evidently
it VIII be the duty of the Senate to
fully Investigate the proposed amend
ments, for when the committee on fin
ance refuses hearings because it knows
intuitively all things. but finds by some
kind of backstairs influence that it has
made four hundred mistakes, it is evil

Washington, May S.-The bill for the
erection of public printing office in
Washington occupied the House during
the greater part of the day, and came
to a rather ignominious end. A num-
Der of amendments and substitutes
were offered to the first section, provid-
ing for the purchase of a site, but the

the melee was a resolution of Mr.. Hol-
man to refer the question to a commits

public buildings and grounds, with in
structions to select a site on ground
now owned by the government.
The naval appropria ton bill was
called up and briefly explained in some
of its parts by Mr.. Cummings, but the

Tariff of More Importance Than the
Chinese Treaty

Chinese Treaty
Washington, May S.-The failure of
the Senate to take up the Chinese
treaty in executive session today again,
was due to the fact that the tariff
managers declined to yield more time
for the discussion of this subject.
ut is, of course, desirable said Mr.
Harris. that the treaty should be dis
posed of, but the tariff question is of
paramount Importance, and 1 do not
feel disposed to grant more time to
the treaty until we get further along
with the tariff
The opponents of the treaty say they
see in the postponement of further con-
sideration evidence of weakness on the
part Of the treaty.
When the Senate adjourned yester-
day, Senator Perkins was in the midst
of his. speech in opposition to the
treaty. He had spoken for an hour,
and had dealt only with the moral and
social features of Chinese immigration.
He will probably at the next oppor-
tunity, discuss the commercial phase
of the relations of this country with
China as affected by the treaty.

arose in his place, a smile was playing

had on previous occasions said some

hundred amendments to the tariff bill
offered yesterday, he said. showed that
after listening to Republican speeches
for six weeks, the Democratic senators
had learned something. If the tariff
bill were laid aside for a month, and
that month were devoted to study by
