Democratic Balloons.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The
galleries were packed today and
there was an ominous hush upon
the chamber when President pro
tempore Harris raped the
Senate to order. Senator Noor-
bees, the "tall sycamore
of the Wabash" chairman Of
of the finance committee,
arose and called up the con-
ference report on the tariff
bill. Without a word Of eXplana-
ti)n, he yielded the floor to Senator
Smith, of New Jersey, who arose
and read a carefully prepared
speech. He said the events Of the
past twenty-four hours indicated a
possibility of the failure of all tariff
legislation for this session. III so
the responsibility should be placed
where it belonged, He criticized
the president for attempting to
interfere with his prerogative in
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent and said neither he would
be intimidated by threats from the
president or utterances from the
other end of the Capital which
have been so uproariously applaud
ed. The senator praised the work
Of the senate finance committee
and called attention to the loss
of seventeen Democratic votes in
the House since the passage Of the
Wilson bill, and asserted that the
trainers Of that bill and large
proportion Of the Democrats were
not tariff reformers, but they were
free traders. Smith called atten-
ton to the difference in the situa-
ton of the House and Senate.
In the latter every vote is needed
to pass the tariff bill. Senator Hill
then took the floor and made an
argument for free raw materials,
from the standpoint Of the Demo-
cratic platform OF '92, which
he read. He then said he
would read few extracts
regarding raw material, from what
he characterized in "that remarka-
BILE letter of the Presidents" which,
he said, expresses, better than l
hope to do, the true,sound and log
ical position Of the Democratic
party upon this question.
After reading the abstracts Hill
said: "Mr. President, | approve
every word of that | have quoted.
It's an honest and manly state
ment of the true attitude which
the party should assume in this
crisis, and it could not be
gainsaid, it REFLECTED the sentiment
of the great Democratic masses OF
the country,which will rally round
him. They would have to yield in
the end and the time to yield is
now and not before there is further
humiliation, embarrassment and
discord.
Hill was still speaking at the
close of this report.

THE FISH PUZZLE
MAY SOON BE SOLVED SATIsFAC-
T0RILY.
The Official Council Committee Are
Proceeding Carefully and Scien-
tlfically-Expert Fisherman's
Solution.

The death and destruction OF the
San Antonio river fish continues
today, although somewhat abated.
The mayor has his committee at
work investigating the causes Of it.
An analysis has not been made
of the river water, though tests of
some Of it for the alkaline (am-
monia) has been made without
success. The nitro glycerine test
is unknown to chemists and there
fore has not been made.
A quantity Of water into which
one twenty-fifth Of grain OF nitro
glycerine was placed, was tested by
Mr.. w. C. kalteyer this morning,
at Kalteyer q Schuchard's drug
store on the minnows of trout
and catfish placed therein,
but they showed no apparent
uneasiness or change Of con-
dition. Minnows Of trout and cat
fish, on the contrary, placed in a
vessel of water into which couple
Of drops of ammonia had been
placed, swan to the surface I'M
mediately, darted about, painted,
and at length floated, belly up, ap-
parently dead, but they revived
when placed in fresh water.
Mr.. John Downey. President Of
the Fishermen's Union, and prob
ably the most expert fisher.
man and closest observer
in the state, told Capt..W, II. Hus-
ton yesterday evening, after max
ing an investigation, that the
cause of the fish dying was on &C.
count of the shutting down Of the
Crystal ice factory for the purpose
of cleaning out their ammonia
tanks. These were emptied into
the river, and the wash or sedi-
ment, of strong yellow color,
runs down the centre Of
the channel. Any fish that
touched it is killed or stupefied
Immediately. He says he has
noted the fact previously that fish
were killed by this process OF
cleaning out the tanks.
A yellow stream in the
water was noticed yesterday morn
ing above the Fourth street bridge,
and it seems that Mr.. DOwney is
correct.
1t is said other facts cOrrObOrate
this cleaning out by the Ice COM
pany, although the officers in
charge of the factory, when asked
in regard to it yesterday by a
LIGHT reporter, strenuOusly de.
MED such to be a fact.

KINGSTON, Dublin Bay, July 20.
The Nigilant and Britannia

making a total of fifty miles. The
breeze was light and not favorable
to the Vigilant and the Britannia
won, being a minute and 80 Sec

MOB ON LAKE SHORE
Seize and Partially Burn a Train
Troops Rescue the Property
PROMPTLY,


HAMMOND, Ind, July 2O.-A mob
OF 800 men attacked freight train
on the Lake Shore road at Whiting
late last night and succeeded in
stopping it. The coupling pins
were drawn and the air brake hose
cut and the torch was applied to
many Of the cars.
The alarm was given and two
companies of militia were hurried
to the scene. The crowd showed a
disposition to fight and two volleys
were fired by the troops. 1t is not
thought any one was seriously
hurt. After dispOsing of the riot
ers the troops turned their atton-
ton to saving the train. The fires
were eXtinguished and the cars
coupled and the train sent on its
way with a heavy guard. All
trains are now being run under
military protection.

WICHITA, Kas., July 2O.-Gar-
field Wilkinson, a l4.year old boy,
living - miles south of this city,
was shot and instantly killed by
his brother Willie, boy Of eleven
years. Garfield had been reading
about the bullet proof shields in
vented recently and tested in Ger
many. He concluded to make one
like them, and having completed
it he put it>0n and asked his broth
er to fire a shot at him. His little
brother did so, the bullet penetrat-
ing the boys heart. The shield
was made out of an old coffee sack
and filed with scraps of old barbed
wire and wool. The accident drove
the mother of the boys insane.

SHORT SNAPPERS.

Watch for our music supplement
tomorrow.
Judge Callaghan did not attend
the convention last night.
The Big Four pulled the string
very nicely last night.
The Spiders and the Flies walked
into the trap together last night.
Won't some of our fine sold
timers" come forward and help the
Jockey club stock show.
The nickel-in-th e-slot machines
have been closed down. The "crap"
games are still running smoothly.
About 200 of our Mexican citi-
zens turned Republican last night
to help the machine out.
Harmony" like hot Cruel, was
choked right down the boys last
night.
Capt. Nat Lewis proved himself
a first-class hustler around the Re-
publican convention last night.
The Big Four won the first
round, and knocked everything
clean out Of sight last night.
The water company are supposed
to furnish you free water for flush
ing purposes only.
The LIGHT gained one victory
last night. the Republicans en-
dorsed Judge Noonan for Con-
gress. ......
Why don't the city regulate the
rates of gas and electric light as
well as water to private, consum-
ers?
The whole effort on the part Of
our local politicians is to prevent
the putting out of straight party
ticket.
The mass convention at Conven-
tion hall was poorly attended by
the white Republicans.
Because the residents in the SUBJ
urbs chase jack rabbits (?) in the
mesquite brush, is not good argu-
ment against the sewers.
Judge Jack Evans was the only
speaker last night who expressed
himself in favor of straight Re-
publican ticket in BeXar county.
1t seems to be soft snap for the
Big Four to run the conventions
in San Antonio, but the people will
all take hand in the final battle.
If we had few more live men in
San Antonio like Mr.. Frank Grice,
it would not take two hours to get
up money enough for the Jockey
club stock show.
DIR. Clifford is reelected chair
man Of the Republican County
committee, and is satisfied. The
convention endorsed Judge Moo
nan for Congress, and the LIGHT
is also pretty well pleased.
The Republicans helped out
General Russ Democratic conven-
ton. and the Democrats returned
the compliment last night and
helped TO run the Republican con-
Vention.
The harmony (?) resolution rail-
roaded through last night, will not
prevent the Republicans from
sending delegation to the
sixth of August convention.
With the exception Of the colored
men at the convention last night,
the meeting might have been
turned into a Democratic caucus
by large majority.
The Big 4 have pretty we'll
spiked" the Democratic and Re-
publican county conventions. 1t
will now be in order for them to
tie up the mouths Of the POpulists
and Working Mems conventions.
Unless the new Republican exc
cutive committee calls a straight
Republican convention and no.
inmates a ticket, "the harmony re-
solution" railrOaded through, will
not be binding upon the Republi-
can voters, except only as to Judge
NOOnan for Congress.
