VIM. McCarrahan.

The physical collapse of William
i Mcdarrdhan. who for thirty years
has haua ed the corridors f the Cap
! ito at Washington vita claim bill
m kes a pathetic period in Congress
sional history. McGarra ans strug
/ gle has b zen one of the NEST | c ole
III American annals. The history o.
the French spoliation claimants. whc
began to visit the halls of Legislation
a century ago, furnishes no stronger
Illustration OF the hopelessness oi
justice, when not backed by inaa.
ence, than the case of this humble
petitioner. He has devoted his life
to a cause that at the beginning gave
every promise of success, but has
| finally been carried OFT to the hospi-
tai a victim of his own determine
ton.
McGarrahan was the original own
er of a ranch in Fresno county, which
he held under q Mexican title. 1t
was not deemed of much value when
he acquired it, but subsequently val
liable quicksilver deposits were dis
covered in one corner OF it, and Me
Garrahan suddenly found himself a
millionaire. He did not discover the
mines, but lie had reasonable ex-
peetation that the corporation which
was formed to develop them would
either let him into the scheme or ply
him for the land. With characteris-
tic heartlessness, however, the New
ldria Company did neither. 1t de-
liberately set to work to rob him
His title was contested and over
thrown and the land taken from him
by force. The remainder OF the
ranch was eaten up by litigation ex-
penses and finally McGarrahan went
to Washington with q claim against
the Government. The U aited States
had guaranteed his title in the treaty
with Mexico, bat had permitted him
TO be roobed in its courts. Natural
ly he assumed that the United States
ought to take measures to compen-
safe him.
But thirty years at the fountain of
justice, during which his claim has
been passed by "a dozen committees
and both houses of Congress repeat
edly, but never enacted into law, has
resulted finally in physical dest'uc-
ton and defeat. 1t is quite certain
that under no other civilized govern
ment in the world could q case like
McGarrahan s remain for thirty years
undecided. The fact that he has
knocked at the doors of Congress in
vain for three decades proves that
his poverty was the cause Of failure.
Had McGarrahan lived under any Of
the effete monarchies OF Europe bis
application would long ago have been
granted or denied, but in this fair
land corporation robberies are seldom
rebuked.

IN BUSINESS SESSION.
A Feasible Plan Adopted for Adyer-

The New Road Accepted.

The Board of Trade held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon at the office
Of Secretary Knaebel. In the absence of
President Prince, Mr.. Sol. Spiegelberg oc-
cupied the chair. The principal business
of the meeting was to listen to talkfrom
Mr.. Robert Stride relative to advertising
the city in the official monthly guide book
of the D. & r. G. railroad. This has
monthly circulation of from 10000 to 49,
600. Mr.. Stride, on behalf of his COM
pany, offered to publish one page of mat
ter and two half tone engravings descrip-
tive of Santa Fe free of cost, provided
the Board of Trade contracted for two
pages of advertising matter for six
months at the rate of 500 per month and
that nine of the leading tradesmen of the
city agree to take space for their business
cards, the whole to occupy one page, for
twelve months at the rate of 80 per
month each.
Mr.. Stride was informed that there was
no money in tho Board of Trade treasury,
but was asked If in consideration of the
business men taking two whole pages CT
advertising matter his company would
give the city one page of printed matter
and two half tone engravings. He replied
in the affirmative, and committee consist
ing of Messrs. L. T. Webber and Sol. Spie-
gelberg was appointed to go among the
business men with Mr.. Stride and solicit
the necessary amount of advertising. Be

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Senator Mills Speaks on the Tariff
Making Preparations to Receive
COxey-Frank AattOn Prob
ably Dying.

Washington, April 24.-Consul General
Polk, of Calcutta, writes concerning the
new tariff law of India: "The act is strict
ly for raising revenue. This action has
been rendered necessary by the increased
revenue required to meet payments on
the gold debt due from India to England
and resulting from the fall in the gold
value of the silver money of the country"
THEY OUGHT TO BE SETTLED.
A final settlement of the governments
long standing complications with the
Pacific railroads is confidently expected
at an early day. All parties interested are
gradually moving toward common
ground although they are still separated
in details. The governments proposition
has already been completed by Attorney
General Olney and ex-Gov. Hoadley will
appear before the committee Friday to
explain it's merits. Tuesday the Union
Pacific commission on reorganization will
present it's plan for settlement.
DEATH ENDED HIS TROUBLES.
VIM. McGarrahan, the celebrated claim
ant to the New Idria mine, died at the
Providence hospital in this city at 11:45

Representative Jerry Simpson is re-
ported much better this morning.
ATTACKED WITH PARALYSIS.
Frank Hatton, one of the proprietors
and editors of the Washington Post, WAS
stricken with total paralysis this after
noon while at work at his desk and was
removed to the Emergency hospital. The
attack is very serious.
To-DAY's SENATE.
After the morning hour had passed the
tariff bill was laid before the senate and
| Senator Mills, of Texas, was recognized.
This is the last day for debate on the bill
as a whole. Senator Mills opened by say
ing that the bill did not entirely meet his
approval, but the legislation was neces-
sary. As a matter of compromise he
might offer some amendments, but if they
were rejected he would vote for the bill.
It was parliamentary measure, and every
Democrat should sink his own prefer
ences thus far. He would, he said, have
levied duty on coffee, tea, and sugar,
and he would have put ON the free list all
other articles required for consumption. If
that were not sufficient he would have put
a tax on accumulated wealth, as all OBJ
stacles in the way of labor should be
stricken down. The policy of protection,
he argued, failed to build up the home
market for agriculture.

Grand Canon OF Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
9han brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder OF
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & T. A., A.
T. d s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail

describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
