BUSINESS PRACTICALLY SUS-
PENDED.

MANCHESTER, Eng, May 16.-The
Guardian, in it's commercial article,
says: THE attendance of buyers
throughout the week has been small,
and there has been no inclination TO
push business. Prices have been easier.
Eastern orders have been impractic
aole, and only a few have been placed,
in all cases among the most needy of
regular buyers. Trade is nowhere
satisfactory Information from India
indicates that there is a large stock of
unsold goods in the hands of importers,
and that the depression is still further
increased by the weakness of silver.
Private adVices from India say that
the forward exchange is a sixteenth
lower, and business has been practic-
ally suspended throughout the world.

THREE LovE-sICK BOYS
Agree to Die, but Only One Accompanies
the Task.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 16.-Newshas
reached here of a strange suicide at
FindIay, a small town in this State, on
Monday.
Paul Ewing, IS years old, q son of
DR., NJ. J. Ewing. of the leading
phyeiciansof this city, Wasi in love with
a girl gchoolmate, and was devoted in
his attentions. The girls parents OBJ
iected, chiefly on account of the tender
ages of the children. Finally they for
babe the boy to call at the house aBy
more and admOnished the daughter
not to continue their clandestiue meet
ings elsewhere.
Paul had two comrades, boys of his
own age, to whom he confded his
troubles The other boys both con
fessed to having troubles of the same
sort on hand and the trio made a solemn
compact to end their agouies of forbid
den love, ard at the same time admin
lister a rebuke TO their unfeellng elders
by committing suicide.
They rel to act at the same time,
but were not to be together when they
committed the deed. At the designated
time young Ewing swallowed 40 grains

TO BRIDE
A Capitol Lobbyist Tries to Buy Sena-
tors Hunton and Kyle--$25,oo
for a Vote.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 16.-Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, to day in
troduced in the Senate a resolution of
investigation in regard to the charges
which have been made of bribery and
attempted bribery of Senators in con
nection with the tariff bill.
This is the first official recognition
that has been taken of the many rumors
and of the much talk with which the
air of Washington has been thick for
a couple of months.
A New York newspaper to day prints
a story that Senators Hunton, of Vir-
GINA, and Kyle, of South Dakota. have
been approached with offer of brides.
The story is that a former member of
Congress from South Carolina ap.
preached Senator Hunton's o and
told hun that $25, 600 would be given
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-05-22

il the Senator voted against the tariff
bill. Senator Kyle is said to bave been
offered through his clerk $15, 000 for a
like vote.
There seems to be no doubt that such
offers were made, but whether there is
anything at the bottom Of them is
doubtful. The man who made the offer
has no standing, according to all ac-
counts. He gave the son of Senator
Hunton and the clerk of Senator Kyle
to understand that he represents a
large syndicate of manufacturers who
are determined to defeat the tariff and
are willing to spend money largely to
this end.
The mans name is understood to be
Butts, He was one Of the carpet bag
members of Congress from South Caro-
lima after the war, but now claims Da-
kota as his home. People from that
section of the country who know him
say that he is without standing, and
that he could not command a hundred
dollars
The other charge that Lodg proposes
to investigate is the one made by the
Philadelphia Press day before yester-
day, that the sugar trust has control
of the Senate Committee on Finance,
and had so fixed the tariff as they de-
sired, and would continue to do so.
Senator Hunton, of Virginia, and
Senator KY le, of South Dakota, (the
latter through his clerk this morning
admitted the truth of the published
statement that they had been ap-
preached and offered money for their
votes against the tariff bill, although
both gentlemen declined to name the
man who made the offer.
The story was published In full In q
New York paper this morning, and,
with the exception of the matter of de-
tail, Is substantially correct.
Yes" said Mr.. Hunton, 1.-The story
is correct, although l am sorry that it
has been published. 1t was not q mat
ter of recent occurrence, however, for
it happened more than q month ago,
and / Immediately notified the man
ayers of the bill on the floor of the
Senate and it is in their hands for such
action as they may see fit to take. I
do not are anything for a Congress
siOnal IL vestigation, but if the man.
ayers of the bill think it is the best
thing to do, l will assist them all In my
power. The offer was not made to me
personally, but through my son, the
sum to be paid being fixed at SOS, 600 by
the man who attempted the bride. No,
l cannot give the name of the man who
sought to get my vote"
Mr.. Kyle is out Of the city, bat Mr..
Hunton said he knew that the same
man had approached HIM, aud this
was cOrrObOrated by Mr.. MacFarlane,
Mr.. Kyle's clerk.

TREASURER HARTMAN DECLINES
To Comply with a Demand for the Pay
ment of $4,000

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Is United
States Treasurer Morgan, on request of
the Secretary of the Interior, yester-
day made a demand on A. w. Hartman,
the Treasurer of the State Of Virginia,
at Richmond, Va, for the payment of
$40, 900, Virginia State bonds held by
the United States Treasurer, as Indian
trust funds, now due. The State de
clined to honor the demand, and State
Treasurer Hartman informed Treasurer
Morgan's representative, Mr.. Russell,
that the Attorney General of the State
of Virginia would send an official reply
to the demand, giving his reason for
refusing to pay the bonds. In 1880 the
Secretary of the Interior, out of the
Choctaw, Cherokee and other Indian
trust funds, bought bonds of the State
of Virginia to the amount of $40, 900,
payable at maturity in 1894 The
United States Government, ininvesting
the Indian trust funds in this matter,
guaranteed the payment Of interest
promptly and regularly eve since.
State Treasurer Hartman, in declin,
ing to pay the principal of the bonds,
said that the State of Virginia had off
sets against the United States for more
than $40, GOO. No official action will be
taken by the United States Treasurer
Morgan until the official written reply
is received.

HARVARD STUDENTS DROWNED
Four Lost in Boston Harbor by the Up
setting of a Sailboat.

BOSTON, May 16.-Edwin Stanton
Bach, of New York City, William
Campbell Truesdell, of Newark, N. J.,
John Farnum Browne, of Philadelphia,
and Franklin Whitall of Philadelphia,
all students at Harvard College, were
drowned in the upper harbor near
The bodies of Browne and Bach have
been recovered. Boatkeeper Hutchins,
at City Point, late on Sunday after
who told him they were to be gone but
a few hours. When the boat was not
returned Monday he went out on a
search, but saw nothing to indicate
that his property had been wrecked.
Yesterday afternoon, however, a
searching party found the boat upside
down. When it had been partly righted
the bodies of Browne and Bach were
found clinging to the mast. Each was
locked in the arms of the other, and
both had to be lifted into the smaller
boat together. The men had partially
disrobed. The searching party con
tinued to look for the bodies of Trues-
dell and Whitall, but they have not
been found.
Truesdell was a third year man in
the law school, and was graduated
from Princeton in 1890. Brown grad
uated from Haverford College, Phila-
delphia, last year, and was a senior at
Harvard. Bach was in the junior class.
Whitall was a graduate of Harvard
College last year, and entered the
senior class last fall to get the degree
of A. B. from Harvard.

x MAN.
He Makes a Speech From the Gallery Of
the House No Danger Of Getting
on the Grass--A Negro Crates.

on the Grass--A Negro Crates.
WASHINGTON, D c., May 14-The
House was treated to an extraordinary
and sensational scene this morning, in
which a deluded Georgia darkey was
the principal actor.
During a discussion on one of the
district bills, a coal black, poorly
dressed darkey walked into the main
entrance to the public gallery. He sat
still for a moment, apparently intently
interested in the House proceedings.
Suddenly he rose to his feet, and
shouted in aloud voice: "Mr. Speaker"
Hundreds Of eyes shot upward instant
~ to the gallery. There was a mo-
mentary pause and again the dRrkey
said:
"Mr. Speaker, l was moved by the
Lord last night to tell Congress that if
the Coxey bills wasn't passed by the
22d of June, God would destroy tie
Capitol and Treasury buildings by a.
thunderbolt from heaven. God told
me-"
But he never proceeded any further
in his remarks. A strOng-armed door
keeper was tumbling him out into the
corridor. Speaker Crisp calmly raped
for order, and the House proceeded
with it's business without taking any
cognizance of the interruption.
The Negroes name is Matthew A.
Cherry, and he is from Hogansville, in
Moses district. He left Hogansville in
1879, after having been arrested for
creating a disturbance by his preach
ing on the streets of that town. He
finally drifted to Washington, and he
is a familiar figure to men whose habits
or business force them to keep late
hours. He was the inventor, owner
and propeller of An immense tricycle.
which accommodated six people. He
built a platform which contained six
seats over two large, rubber tired
wheels and propelled it from the ear
in a small seat over a very small wheel.
1t was, in reality, a reversed tricycle..
The smooth, asphalted pavementsmad
his invention a success in Washington.
He was pointed out to visitors to the
Capitol as the man who gathered in
the DRINKS and took them home"
Cherry has always been a harmless re-
Ggious crank, but recently he became
unusually ''daffy."
It is rather remarkable that the
darkey, who is from Georgia, addressed
the speaker, who is a Georgian, and
the door keeper who arrested him, Mr..
Boen, is also from Georgia.
