The Federal Elections Bill and the Bpnd
Issue In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, jan. 22.-The present in
dieations are that the senate will divide
Its attention in the main this week be-
tween the federal elections bill and the
policy Of q bond Issue as decided upon
by the secretary of the treasury. There
has now been a positive agreement upon
the part of tho Republicans to continue
the discussion of the elections bill and 10
take 1t up, with view to its final DISPOSE
ton Many'of the Republics senators
have given public assurance that they
would not seek to delay the final vote
upon the bill beyond a reasonable time
for debate
1t will be impossible to keep the bond
question entirely out Of the senate, and
There Is possibility that 1t may be made
the subject of a number of speeches, if
not of considerable debate. Senators
Peffer and Allen both have resolutions
before the senate, taking Secretary Car
Isle to task for his course, and Mr.. Allen
has given notice of a speech on Thursday
based upon his resolution.
This coming week will see the winclu-
sion of the tariff debate in the house. Ac-
tording to tho special order the voting on
the bill and pending amendments will be-
gin week from today at noon. During
the past week no amendments of substan-
tial Importance have been voted on with
any chance of adoption except that fixing
the date upon which free wool would 90
into effect. This week. however, will
witness the fight over the bill amend
ments to be offered by the Democrats.

on TRIAL FOR MY LIFE--A SINGULAR DIVER.


on TRIAL FOR MY LIFE--A SINGULAR DIVER
SION.
Huddled In foul hole, which admitted
neither light nor air, tried to imagine
what might be the outcome of this fresh
ENHANCEMENT. One thing seemed certain;
that was to be kept fast under bolts for
the night. In the morning, IL pestilen-
tial air did not finish me in tho meantime, |
should probably be led forth to a mock
trial and convicted by overwhelming evil
dence of uncommitted crimes, for knew
the ingenuity of the Asiatic mind in de-
vising charges. What would follow-the
Judgment and form of execution-were
matters that could be foretold with dis
qnieting accuracy.
The prospect gave me less concern than
might be imagined. Assuredly fortune
was using her teeth and claws upon me
with implacUble maleyolence. But her per-
secutions were beginning to lose something
of their poignancy. Like vain woman,
fortune loves to show her power, and like a
meddlesome one, she must have finger in
every mans pie, making it sweet and sour
according to her whim and humor But
when one has, as the poet puts it, looked
on his own funeral procession, he may
smile at her efforts to infiict pain He is
then getting beyond her range To that
slaBs VI dlathy was laSJ approaching.
The ignominy Of the thing troubled me
most. To die once is the fate of all, and
death, as wise men have ever taught, may
be made glorious. But to be shut up in a
hole like rat and then probed out to be
worried by bloodthirsty hounds is not to
close the 1fti act of ones play with any
dignity or glory. If they would only put a
proper sword in my hand, then | might
leave my memory green and furnish a tale
worth telling to their grandchildren.
In spite Of what has been said, l must
not boast of confidence. for when at length
outwearied nature claimed her boon of
sleep was constantly starting up with
throbbing heart and clammy brow. To
be rid of the plgguing dreams decided at
last to keep awake. AS the best means of
doing that crept about the cell, entertain
ing myself first by guessing its dimensions

HOW HE WORKED" THE HoosleRs
A swindisr Succeeds in Robbing People
Right and Loft.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Jan. e2.-The north
ern part of this county is on the boom.
which makes it good field for sharpers
to get In their work Last Wednesday
Thomas Payne, of Boston, reached Ches-
terton, claiming to represent syndicate
OF capitalists Of Chicago and New York,
saying they wanted to secure about 1000
acres of land there for large manufac-
turing site. He visited several of the large
property owners, securing options on their
land, saying other parties would be out in
a few days to look at tis property and
close out the deal. In eaI1 case he paid
for the option with large bill, always
receiving large amourt~of change.
1t has been DISCOVERED that large
amount of counterfeit money is In cirou-
lation in Chesterton and Porter, which
was traced to the land speculation, and 1t
is supposed that all the money ho paid for
options was counterfeit. Yesterday Pat
rick O'Connor received a notice from the
State bank, Of Valparaiso, that they held
his notes given to Thomas Payne. Mr..
OConnor pronounced them forgery,
claiming to never have given his note to
Payne. 1t is thought the La Porte and
Michigan City banks were swindled also,
as he visited both banks during the week.

intention, and points out that if they are
legal the only limit to such issue is the
conscience of the administration, which
may, therefore, issue bonds indefinitely
to provide for revenue deficiencies.
