The Vote on the wilson Bill.

The House passed the Wilson tariff bill
yesterday by vote of 2O3 to l4O-a ma
iority of g. The majority for the bill
was fully as large as its friends expected
it would be. There is so much opposition
to the income tax that it was believed by
many that the majority the bill would re-
ceive would be quite small. The income
tax, however, brought some votes to the
bill that it would not otherwise have re-
ceived.
The important question now is, what
will be the fate of the bill in the Senatel
1t will pass that body Of course, but in
what shape9 One thing is pretty certain.
1t will not be put through the Senate as
quickly as it was put through the House,
Notwithstanding the fact that there is a
very strong sentiment throughout the
country in favor of reaching a settlement
of the tariff question as quickly as posi-
BILE. Delay is hurting business, because,
until the bill is passed and receives the
signature OF the President, the uncer-
talnty will prevent activity in all kinds
Of business and industrial undertakings.
The Senate will likely change the bill
greatly. 1t would not be surprising if it
should put duty on sugar and strike out
the income tax. 1t can hardly be possible
that the sugar interest will be left to
take care Of itself Without a sugar
duty or sugar bounty the sugar produc-
ton in this country must cease-at least
the production of cane sugar. The sugar
producers did not make much of fight
in the House. They reserved their
strength for the Senate, where they have
a much better prospect for success.
1t is believed there are several demo-
cratic senators who are opposed to the
income tax and in favor of a sugar tax.
The democratic majority in the Senate is
small. Less than half dozen democrats,
with all of the republicans, would be
sufficient to strike the income tax out of
the bill. No one can predict with any
degree of certainty, however, what course
the republican senators will pursue.
They are playing politics, and will do
what seems to promise to be the most
helpful to their party

Strange somnambulistic Freak.

dreadful crime was reported from Toledo,
ore, ten days or so ago, about an outrage per
| petrated upon little girl by two tramps. The
valley papers have been printing various COM
ments and speculations about 1t, and now the
| Elk City correspondent of the Corvallis Times
| oners as authentic version of the affair
which is no less wonderful than the first story
| and, II true, as it seems to be, establishes one
OF the most remarkable instances OF somnam-
oullSm, or sleep walking ever recorded. The
account is as follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the 16.year-old daughter
OF Mrs. sam Dogan, resides with her family
on the south side Of the Yaquina river, six
miles east Of Toledo. Between and 2 o clock
Friday night during her sleep, and clad only
in ntght-rose she arose from her bed and
walked out on the back porch. There she Sc
cured an old oilcloth coat and, after wrapping
II around her, picked up piece OF rope and
started for the river, 100 yards distant At
the boat landing she entered boat. rowed
herself up the river about 400 yards, and
landed on the opposite bank After
setting the boat adrift she Climbed
a steep bank on the railroad track,
where with the rope she tied her lower limbs
iogether, passed the rope around her body
twice, over her shoulder, and then tied her
hands behind her body. Then she hobbled up
the railroad track for a distance of about
three-quarters of mile and suddenly fell.
she v as awakened by the fall, and. although
paralyzed by cold and fright, started to re-
trace her steps. Her cries of distress soon
alarmed the occupants of a house near by.
who came to her rescue and found her still
tied, nervous, chilled and in the saddest of
very sad plights. She was taken home at
once, and then her family learned for the first
time that she had been absent from the house,
and, OF course, accepted her condition as the
evidence that she had been tho victim of an
abduction, This was the news that first
reached the community. and enraged men
secured the vicinity for the supposed guilty
parties. Two tramps were arrested at Sum
init on suspicion, and after staring destruc-
uvaro fin H.
released after establishing an alibi. good
sleep restored the young girl to her normal
condition, and thus what appeared at first to
be shocking crime was only the queer esca-
mar a of ali

Last fall the market reports said the
prices for peanuts were low and declining
because the supply exceeded the demand
According to Mr.. Edward Atkinson's
views on peanuts, the supply should not
have exceeded the demand had there
been planted ten times the acreage that
was planted. For, as he points out at
length in recent paper, the peanut is
almost as full of possibilities as the cot
ton plant, every portion and product of
which is now utilized. The kernels of
peanuts, Mr.. Atkinson says, yield nearly
half their weight in an oil that is used in
France as an adulterant for olive oil. and
to make soap, and give back a meaIcake
that is an excellent food for stock. The
peanut plant makes a good and whole
some hay, and yields some two tons to the
acre. The plant, furthermore. excels all
other plants in drawing nitrogen from the
atmosphere through the intervention of
bacteria, so that if only the nuts were
harvested, and the plants left to fertilize
the ground, virtually nothing would be
removed from the soil. The oil closely
resembles olive oil, does not "dry out"
and commands ready sale. A popularity
OF the peanut is that the kernels thrive
better on poor ground and the vines bet
ter on rich ground. Soil that will not
produce corn or cotton proatably win
yield full harvest Of peanuts. They
can be grown in almost any section of the
south but the slope to the ocean suits
them best. Mr.. Atkinson has so much
iaith in the peanut that he predicts it
WIN rival cotton as a source'of wealth in
kfhe near future.

Facts Against Theories.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)
When free iron ore was first proposed
somebody down about Birmingham figured it
out that the southern iron interests would be
ruined because British pig iron could be laid
down in the eastern markets for $40 80 a ton
and southern pig, with freight calculated.
would have to be sold for 81 80 at the furnace
in order to compete with these pauper. pigs
from England. This calculation has been
doing hard service to support the prediction
of utter ruin If the southern pig had to be
sold at such price Yet it is stated on good
authority that Alabama pig sold in Pitts
burg recently at price equivalent to IS so at
the furnace.

The city council could not have kept the
public welfare more clearly in view than
1t did when it elected Hon. Walter G..
Charlton to fill the place made vacant by
the resignation of Alderman Cam. Mr..
Charlton is in every respect qualified for
the position, and he will discharge his
official duties faithfully and conscienti-
ously. Being public spirited and liberal
minded, and profoundly interested in the
prosperity of the city, he will favor all
measures he believes to be for the city's
good and oppose those, if any are pro-
posed, which are intended to promote per-
sonal and selfish interests. II is certain
that his presence in the council gives gen
eral satisfaction.

The newspapers Of this state that have
declared for Evans for governor have,
generally speaking worked themselves
into fine condition of enthusiasm, and
some of them preach Evans in nearly
every column. The Atkinson adherents,
too, are warm and constant in the praise
of their favorite. The partisanship of
the two parties is com mendable, so long
as it is kept within pr oper bounds. 1t
should not be forgotten, meanwhile, that
before long there will be only one demo-
cratic candidate in the field, and that it
will then be the duty of every democrat
to support him. Asperities, therefore,
should have no place in the discussion of
the candidates.

The Hon. w. Y. Atkinson has as good
right to aspire to the goyernorship of
Georgia as any man in the state. And it
may be that the people of the state would
like to have him for governor, hence the
advice that he is receiving in certain
quarters-to retire from the contests
not timely or in the least degree likely to
be accepted. Mr.. Atkinson has announced
that he will stump the state and advise
the people as to his platform of principles.
When he has done so, or at the proper
time, the people will decide whether they
want him, or some other man with whom
they are in better accord, to be their gov
ernor If the decision should be against
him, then it would be time for Mr.. Atlxin-
son to retire from the contest. What is
wanted is free field and no favor; and

A Dangerous Snort.

According to the figures given by a
writer in the Fortnightly Review, it
would seem as if about as many men are
killed and injured in the game Of foot ball
in proportion to the number engaged in it
as there are of the men who are employed
on railroads, and vastly more than of those
who are passengers on railroads. His
statement is that in 1890, 1891 and 1892
there were %, % and &c men, respect
lively, whose death was ascribed to foot
ball, and, besides these, 154 suffered from
broken limbs and 212 from minor acct
dents.
This record would indicate that foot
ball is about as brutal as prize fighting.
Indeed, there is considerable smuggling
done, Notwithstanding the fact that the
rules forbid it.
The game Of foot ball, as at present
played, is not so exciting nor interesting
as the old fashioned way of kicking the
ball. Now the game is mainly a trial OF
strength and skill, and it is intensely
exhausting. 1t would seem as if the
rules might be so changed as to make the
game less dangerous to life and limb.
Mr.. Charles H. Cramp, the famous ship
builder, expressed the opinion, after read
ing the news from Rio the other day that
Admiral Benham would be liable to cope
with the situation" in case the insurgent
fleet were to open fire upon his vessels.
Indeed, if he were to prove, in such en-
ergency, unable to cope with the situa-
ton, it would be very great and painful
surprise to the American public. Admiral
Benham has with him at Rio the pick of
the United States navy. His fleet consists
ofthe armored cruiser New York, the most
powerful in the navy and one of the
most powerful in the world, and the
cruisers Detroit, Newark, San Francisco
and Charleston. The smallest of these five
craft is of 4,040 tons, and the largest, tn Q
New York, is twice as big. They are all
vessels of the new navy, built of steel,
armored or protected with improved ar
NOR plates, provided with modern ma
ehinery for high speed and armed with the
most powerful batteries of guns and
torpedo tubes that have yet been devised.
Against this force the insurgent comman-
der has onetirst-class armored cruiser, the
Aqudaoan, (the Republica is not at Rio,)
and three or four unprotected cruisers,
some of them being of old types and made
of wood, besides mosquito feet of tor
pedo boats. If five Of the best ships of
our navy could not quickly dispose of
that opposition, especially when the OPP
position was surrounded by other enc
mics, the American people would be
pretty apt to call halt in navy building
and pronounce the naval institution a
farce.
