WASHINGTON, June 10.-Representative
Bland of Missouri says that it was he who
first suggested to Attorney General Olney

Louis Republic. which on April % pub

.columns. giving the opinion of an eminent
St. Louis LAWYER. to the effect that such
suit could be prosecuted successfully.
Attorney General Olney did not appre-

Indifferent about the matter until Carlisle
and Hoke Smith persuaded him that il
would be a good political stroke to enter
the claim whether it was ever pushed or
rot. Accordingly Olney fled his claim.

brick and was stocked with all sorts of
farming implements. harness, etc.
The fremen worked hard to confne the
flames to the Keystone building, but the
stock of paints and oils fed the flames,
which leaped in the air fifty to hundred
feet and were quickly communicated to
he BufOrd & George Manufacturing Com
pany, at 1913 and 1915 on the east. This
firm also manufactured implements and
their stock was large. The department
fought the flames from all sides and sue
ceeded in keeping the fire within the two
structures named. but both buildings and
contents were entirely destroyed, even the
walls having fallen in.
About o'clock the west wall of the
Keystone building fell and crushed one
story frame building occupied by Charles
Pierce. The family had left their home
and were thus saved from instant death.

was also crushed and Mr.. Pope was
severely injured.

Company No. was caught under the fall
ing walls. his injuries are serious. His
pelvic bons was fractured and he was
burned about the head.

slightly jured.

of his collar-bone and be was severely in-
jured about the chest.

and James Marvin was injured about the
hips.

ment Company, loss $780, 900, insurance
$4,000; Buford & George HMatufactur
ing Company, loss S1SO,oOO, insurance

ally the day has been developed into rose
time.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Will Be Reached Some Time
This Week.
1t Is Understood Democrats Are
Preparing for a Long
Debate.

WASHINGTON. June lot is expected
on both sides of the Senate Cham Der that
the wooden schedule will be reached DUR
ing the present week in the consideration
of the tariff bill. There is a tacit agree
ment between the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders that the debate shall be con-
tinued under the fve-minute rule on the
wines, cotton manufactures and fax
schedule. Senator Aldrch, as the repre-
sentative of the Republican side of the
chamber, expressed the opinion that these
sche duies would be disposed OF with very
slight delay.
He says the understanding for five-min-
ute speeches would not be continued
when the wooden schedule should be
reached. and he expressed the opinion
that three or four days debate would be
necessary before the wool and wooden
schedule is acted upon.
Some of the Democratic leaders think
the schedule may be disposed of in two
ways. This schedule will develop one
Of the most important debates connected
with the bill. Next to the duty on sugars

than any other item in the bill, and there

meDts for definite number Of days for
the debate.
1t is understood this Is one thing they
have in view and are arranging the pre-
liminaries for night sessions, as they have
been doing in securing pledges of Demo-
cratic Senators to remain until the ''steer-
Ing committee" shall consent to adjourn
ment each day. This is to be an elastic
arrangement and night sessions will be re-
sorted TO only in cases of the evident deter
mination of the Republican Senators to
delay vote.
This is not expected in any of the items
which precede the woOlen schedule, for
many Senators think it will be used In
that direction. The Democratic leaders
think il best to be prepared for the emer-
gency ii IL should be presented. They
desire also, If it should prove there are to
be al unexpected number of long speeches
on the wooden schedule. to work them off
as rapidly as possible. ana may resort to
night sessions for that purpose.
I'VE 90 not want to impose any upneces-
sary hardships," said Senator Harris, "but
we want TO make an impression on the bill
during the week"

THERE is grace in the Tribune after
all. 1t says frankly that it is in favor
of the income tax. That goes farther
than we ever expected that paper to go.
OF course there are corporation lawyers
and ADVOCATES in congress-both
bouses-but there are also able, de-
voted and brave men enough there to
pass the measure oyer their heads. We
are sorry for the coming worry Of the
Tribune when the vote is taken, be-
cause it will find every man of these
lawyers and corporation champions
voting against the measure, all repub-
licans, belonging to and working fol-
the republican party, If the Trib. is
honest in its declaration it must howl
SO loudly as that its plant will reach
the capacious ears of congress.
