The Republicans in the Senate Trylpg to
Hold Back the Tariff Biu-Hin and
murphy With Them.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6.-The
policy of delay of the minority OF the
Senate was made manifest to-day when,
before the conclusion Of the reading OF
Yesterdays journal, Mr.. Chandler,
(Rep.l made the point of do quorum
and the roll was called, showing tnat
four Senators less than a quorum was
present. After delay OF fifteen min
utes, four Senators dropped in to com
pie the quorum and the reading OF tse
journal was concluded and the routine
business was proceeded with.
An interesting test of strength was
developed by Senator Hills motion that
when the Senate adjourn to-day IL
should be until Monday. The RepuoIl-
cans jumped at the idea and seconded
the motion, aud even Senator Hsrris's
request that the motion be withdrawn
had no effect, so he demanded the yeas
and nays, in which demand he was sec
onded by Senator Vest. As the roll
call progressed it became evident that
the vote would be close, aud when 1t
was announced as 25 to 26 sigh or re-
lief escaped from the Democrats.
The vote was with a few exceptions
a party vote. The Republicans voted
for the mo,ion and Senators Hill and
Murphy, of New York, aud Iroy' OF
South Carolina, voted with them, ard
Senator Brice, OF Chic, was paired IN
favor of the motion. Of the Populists,
Stewart voted with the Republicans and
Allen, Kyle and PETER with the Demo-
Gratis.
The tariff bill was laid before the
Senate and Senator PETER proceeded to
detiver his address. After he had talk
ed to empty desks two hours Senator
Ouav called attention 10 the lack OF a
quorum, which was not secured and
more dilatory tactics. by the Republi-
cans, the Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row al noon.

CHICAGO, April 6.-In a lecture de
livered tonight, Theodore Westmark, a
young Scandinavian, who made two ex-
plorations OF the Congo State in Central
Africa under the auspices OF King Leo
pold H., OF Belgium, accused Henry NJ.
Stanley of having lunched on human
flesh to satisfy a morbid curiosity.
Mr.. Westlnark said that at Stanley
Pool, in 1884, Stanley, curious to know
how human flesh would taste, sent his
servant, Duala, to secure 4 chunk OF
the native material, but IT proved
tainted and Duala received a sound
drUbbing.
A second foraging trip after flesh
from a native proved more successful.
1t was fried in butter and served with
sauce piquante and mixed pickles, but
despite these condiments, Stanley pro-
nounced the flesh to be tasteless.

Conductor McNaliy.


NEWPORT. ARK, April 6.-The three
train robbers, j. l.. Wyrick, Thomas
Brady and Albert Mansker, who killed
Conductor w. +. McNally at OiyphAnt.
Ark. November 3, were hanged here
this morning. The drop fell at 1858 and
the men were pronounced dead at sos.
Last night they confessed, but asserted
George Pagett planned the crime and
deserted them when his neck was en-

On the night OF November 3, passen-
ger train No. 81 on the st. Louis, Iron

BeIieving Better Things Are Coming.
Spseel TslserGn 70 ne kseIsssr
NEW YORK, April 6.-Presideht ].
Edward Simmons, OF the Fourth Ma
tional Bank Of Nsw York City, has
written an article for the Engineering
Magazine, in which he says that he nov
fully believes that the turn in business
has come.
Some CT President Simmons reasons
for so thinking is that cessation of
general liquidation has come, and be
points out that never were merchants
outstanding obligations smaller than at
present, aud never were borrowers able
to obtain money at such unprecedent-
edly low rates. While it is unreasona-
BILE to expect q general Improvement
until tariff questions are finally settled,
it is certain that the process Of i'm
provement has been inaugurated.
He considers silver imitation the prin-
cipal cause OF the panic, and points out
that for the first tine in many years the
currency is on a solid and substantial
basis. The activity Of reorganization
committees promises an early return OF
many railroad properties TO their own-
ers and there is no danger OF further
embarrassment to other great roads.
The economies being adopted by the
roads are producing q revival OF conf
dence in railway securities. Frugality
on the part of the people is paving the
way for future prosperity. The country
is we'll supplied with currency, and
there is an imm increase In national
wealth.
He further points out the fact that
the United States offers the highest In
terest and best security to investors
and that foreign investment will ulti-
mately re-estabilsh values and stimulate
trade. The absence OF any decline In
! labor Is one OF the most encouraging
featurst of the situation as is the
steadin ness and the strength OK real es-
tate.
He notes improvement on every side
and believes that the clouds havs lifted,
that the skies lave cleared and that
the business turning point has finally
been reached.

ORGANIZING THE MINERS.
Preparations About PittEburg for An
other Big Coal strike.

Preparations ABOUT flttkDuTg AoN
other Big Coal strike.
PITTsBURG, PA, April 6.-The organ
ization Of the coal miners is being
actively pushed by President Cairns and
Organizer Miller. They have sue
ceeded in very thoroughly organizing
the Toms Run miners. the Panhandle
miners and the diggers along the b. d
o. Railroad. Their success among the
miners on the B. & o. has been remark
able, since the miners Of that district
have been disorganiTed for several
years. They always worked for less
rates than were paid at conpet-
ing districts, aud have been re-
sponsible for the failure OF several
attempts to sustain wages in the Pitts
burg district. Mr.. Cairns now thinks
that the active cooperation Of the B. q
O. miners will result in fair price be-
ing established and maintained through
out the district.
PrTTsBURG. PA. April 6.-There will
be more trouble in mining circles be-
fore many weeks roll around, judging
from present indications. A coal
operator well known in this part OF the
State aud who mas kept . close watch
un affairs, said to-day:
within thirty days l look for an
other strike in the Pittsburg district
similar TO that now carried on in the
coke regions. The miners are prepar'
ing for it and the operators are anti
cipating trouble.
THE trouble brewing among the
miners OF this district is matter OF
wages and no amount OF argument OF
reason will convince the men that
higher wages are out OF the questioE al
present The operators will not agree
on any fixed amount TO be paid aud SO
long as they fail to do so nothing can b
accomplished by striking"

Among Sir Hope Grants notes of his

close encounters with tigers, though Sir
Hope himself does not figure in either ad-
venture, Major Callnet was out shooting
when he came suddenly face to face with
a tiger. just as be was firing the howdah
gave way, and he fell almost into the ami
mails mouth.
The tiger seized him by the thigh and
carried him Off While in this situation
he recollected that he had brace Of pistols
in his pocket lie managed to draw one
and snapped it at the beasts head, but it
missed fire.
Still retaining his presence Of mind, he
pulled out the other and fired. The tiger
bounded on few yards and then dropped
dead.
Callnet told me of this himself. He was
very badly wounded and is still dreadfully
lame.
Mr.. Young Of the civil service heard
that tiger had forced his way into ma
tive hut and was holding it against its hu-
man owner. Mr.. Young mounted the roof
and effected an entrance.
The tiger charged. He fired both bar
rels and turned to get bis second gun from
his attendant, but the fellow had bolted.
The tiger was close up, and Mr.. Young,
in despair lifted the gun with both hands
in front of his head. The beast sprang,
seized the barrel in his mouth and then
dropped dead l saw the gun dented with
the tigers teeth,

SOURCE OF THE MISSOURI.
Six Considerable Rivers Joined Together
Form Its Actual Head.

fDlh ALh AtAuhl lhehus
The actual head of the Missouri river, or
what should be known as such had it been
intelligentiy named, is De Lacys or Sho-
shune lake, in the National park. This
lake, a considerable body OF water, is the
source of the Madison river and forms
with the river the drainage outlet for most
of the waters Of that portion Of the Ma
tional park. The Gallatin, or left source
of the Missouri, is formed by two streams,
the East and West Gnllatin, which unite
about mile above its junction with the
Missouri. The Madison and Gallatin are
both somewhat smaller than the Jefferson.
Had Lewis and Clark ascended the Mad
ison instead OF the jefferson, which, be-
ing the larger stream, they naturally mis-
took for the continuation of the Missouri,
they would have discovered the famous
geysers in Firehole basin, Shoshone lake
and all the country which is now incor-
porated within the limits of the National
park. The Big Hole and the Beaverhead
rivers flow into the jefferson at Twin
Bridges, a few miles from the confluence
of the jefferson with the Missouri, so that
in reality there are six considerable rivers
all joining one another within radius of
a few miles, which unite to form the lon
gesJ river in the world, measured from the
gulf to the Rocky mountains. .-Bozoman
