NOT DISCUSS ELKs, TROUBLES.
Grand Exalted Ruler Apperly Said Not
TO Desire Reelection.

to Desire Re-electlOn.
Louisville, Feb. 15.--Grand Exalted
Ruler Apperly refuses to make any
statement whatever concerning the re-
ported troubles among the Elks. 1t is
stated by close friends of Mr.. Apperly
that he could not have been animated
by a desire for reelection in calling the
meeting at jamestown. N. Y, instead
Of Atlantic City. It is not clear how a
meeting at one place could further such
an ambition more than meeting at
the other, but as matter of fact Mr..
Apperly has told his friends positively
that he is not a candidate for re-elec-
tlon.
There is really trouble In the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, so
Chicago members Of the order say. They
acknowledge that Allen D. Meyers, OF
Cincinnati, the grand secretary of the
order. and A. Apperly, Of Louisville, the
exalted ruler, are dissatisfied because
there was no likelihood of their being
retained In Office longer and have sue
ceeded in persuading about 30 small
lodges in Ohio to send their delegates
to ''rump' convention at Jamestown,
NY.

said, Meyers and his friends We're unfit

ventIon arrived. Therefore the grand
trustees were compelled to make the

WHAT WILL GROVER SAY =?
Chairman Taubeneck Pays His Re-
SuecfS fo the Veto
spectS to- the We

WASHINGTON. April lie. B. Taubencck.
chairman of the national committee of the
Peoples party has issued this statement:
1.-THE President. in vetoing the seignior-
age bill, has brushed every pretense Of the
old parties aside. The Apache warfare of
cunning and ambush is NO longer neces-
sary. The agent of the gold combination
proclaims that the soldiers who serve
under him. whether Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, must assert their loyalty to the
money kings. In the future the people
can take their choice = either aid in
strengthening the chains of money con-
traction. by voting for candidates to serve
in the ranks Of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, or unite before it is too late
with the Populists for liberty. equal rights
aud an American financial system.
1.-The policy of the veto message means
the destruction of all enterprise, the issue
of bonds TO pay the current expenses of
the Government and that national banks
are to obtain money from the Government
at per cent The only compromise offered
in the veto measure is the suggestion the
United States might be allowed to coin and
use $55. 0O0. 600 seignorage in the Treasury,
IL unlimited authority be granted by
Congress to issue bonds and perpetually
mortgage the resources OF the United
States 10 the money power.

1T Is AN OLD DEBT.
California's War Claim May Yet
BE Paid

WASHINGTON. April Senator Perkins
says that TO Senator Davis is partly due
the favorable report on the bill for reim-
bursting the States of California, Oregon
and Nevada for moneys expended by them
ID suppressiDg rebellion.
The reimbursement of these States has
been the subject of various bills, reports
and discussions during several Congresses
and especially the Flfty-trst and Fifty
second, and has again come up for consid-
GRAFTON at the present Congress.
This bill failing of passage, that intro
duced in the Fifty-second Congress omitted
the interest feature as to California and
Oregon, on the principle. perhaps. that
half loaf is better than no bread. But
this also failing, the bill of the present
session includes the interest and calls for
the larger sums above specified.
The bill was referred to Senator Davis
of Minnesota, who took the ground before
the Committee on Military Affairs that a
sovereign State was not to be put on the
same plane with an ordinary creditor in
its transactions with the General Govern
ment, and that the rule disallowing inter-
est upon claims could not be made to
apply TO such a State. This view was ac-
quiesced in by the committee, which
authorized him to report favorably upon
the bill, and for the first time it is before
the Senate with the unanimous approval
of the committee for the reimbursement
of the principal and interest of these war
claims to the three States interested.

THE BILL COMES UP TO-DAY.
And Will Take Precedence of All
Other Measures.
VOORHEES, OPENS THE DEBATE.
Allison Will Reply and Most of the
Other Senators Are Slated
for Addresses.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The tariff bill
will be taken up for consideration in the
Senate tomorrow Mt o'clock, in accord
ance with the agreement arrived at In the
Committee on Finance, and with the notice
TO Chairman voorhees, to that effect. and
in all probability it will be the prominent
topic of debate during the entire week.
There are other measures which claim
attention, but none of them are likely to
receive il without the consent Of the man
ayers Of the tariff bill.
Senator Hans brOugh's bill for the exter-
mination of the Russian thistle appears
upon the calendar as unfinished bush
ness, and but for the tariff bill would be
called up Oh Monday, and 1t is 10 position
where it could legitimately be pressed. If
its author should feel so disposed, but II is
fair to presume that it will be quietly laid
aside for the tariff.
Other questions which may press for
consideration during the week are the
Chinese treaty and the proposed bill for
the regulation of the Boring Sea seal
fisheries. Senator Morgan has stated that
he will probably ask the Senate to con-
slider the treaty in the latter part OF the
week, and there is probability that the
Boring Sea bill will be considered OF suffi-
Gent Importance to call for immediate
action.
There will be little trouble in securing
an understanding whereby these questions
can be taken cd by temporary displace-
ment of the tariff If eXpedierce should be
considered important. The pensions and
Notifications appropriation bills are also
on the calendar and can be considered at
any time, but they will not be pressed for
the present.
The tariff bill will be the order after
o'clock each day of the week or until the
morning business shall be disuosed of,
and there will be two hours each day for
the consideration of miscellaneous ques-
tons. which properly belong to that hour.
Several amendments to the tariff bill will
be offered on Monday by the Committee
on Finance. after which the speaking will
begin, In which Senator Voorhees,, as
chairman of the Finance Committee will
lead. he will be replied to by Senator
Allison, and beyond these speeches in
what order Senators will be heard is not
known 1t is quite likely that Senators
Mcpherson and Hill. on the Democratic
side, will speak early in the week, and 1t
is known on the Republican side of the
chamber, Senators Hale, Lodge, Cullom.
HawIey, Morrell and Mitchell. of Oregon.
are prepared to speak, but IL is not posi-
BILE that even majority of these speeches
will be heard during the present week.
Indeed, il these speeches should prove
long, as many of them will, 1t is likely
that for the present not more than one
will be heard in a day. Senator PETER is
also expected to speak on the tariff bill
this week or next.

THE KOREAN PLOT.
No Attempt to Blow Up the Kings
Palace.

Palace.
81 do not think there was any ate mpt
to blow up the palace Of the King of
Korea at Seoul, unless it is something
which happened since left the kingdom
about month ago." said DR.. II. M.
Brown, one of the arrivals from the
Orient on the steamer China, who regis
tered at the Occidental yesterday. Il do
not believe the story, for the reason that
the Korean people have "a little courage
and are as harmless as a flock of sheep,
and hardly think that there is any dyna-
mite in the country with which to blow up
building.
''The story is probably related to the
event which happened some time ago,
when several hundred Koreans gathered
about the palace wall and demanded that
the King aud his advisers should return to
the old policy of isolation. and refuse o
have anything to 90 with foreigners. Their
demands were refused and they dispersed.
The report as 1t spread grew In proper
ton. was not in Seoul at the time. bu
at 4 usau. Some of the native Christians
were frig htened, and a little alarm was
felt on the part of some of the mission
aries.
sit may be that the trouble which has
been published in the American papers
refers to something which has happened
after my departure" continued DR.. Brown,
but do not believe any serious revolution
was attempted, for the Koreans have not
enough spirit to get up revolution"
DR.. Brown is he physician for the Pres
bytsriaD Mission. He has been in Korea
for two years. spending the first year at
the capital aud the second in the city OF
Fusau.

WILL WAS WICKED
And His Wife Punished Him With
a Rawl1ide.

A recalcitrant husband, an over-confd-
lug young girl, an rate wife and raw
hide were the participants in quite lively
little scene on Bush street, near the Occi-
dental Hotel, shortly before O'Clock this
morning.
William c. Burton is the man who fig
ured in the affair, and he halls from some
where in Nevada. Lucille Floy of this
city WAS the over-coniding girl. and Mrs.
Jennie Burton the angry female who
caused all the trouble.
Burton and Miss Floy had been enjoy
ing light refreshments in Bush-street
cafe, and after leaving the place started to
stroll slowly along the sidewalk.
Just as the two reached the Occidental
Hotel a woman stepped from within a
DOORWAY, where she had been concealed,
and confronted them.
The effect upon Burton Of the woman s
sudden appearance was really amusing,
but the one OR two spectators who wilt
messed the affair were given no oppor-
tunity of enjoying it.
Burton dotted his hat when the woman
approached and stepped forward 10 en-
gage her In conversation. but she evil
IDENTIFY was not in talking humor.
AS soon as the man drew near enough
she caught his hair with her left hand and
then drawing rawhide from beneath her
coat she began to use it with telling effect.
Blow after blow was rained on Burton
and with each whack he let out scream
that was frghtful to hear.
His screaming had no effect, however,
and finally he dropped on his knees and
began to beg for mercy.
"Oh, yes" exclaimed the woman. "Pll
be mercful, but not until l teach you not
to deceive your wife again. So this is the
way you sit up with sick friend, is it.
Well. Just hope you are enjoying your
SELF"
Then the rawhide was again brought
into play and perhaps the woman might
still be beating tattoo on her husband
had the bystanders not interfeIed and
allowed him to escape.
Miss Floy professed to know very little
OF Burton. She said that she first met him
about five months ago and that he had
since paid her some attention. II never
knew he was married." she concluded.

BLAND is NOT WEARY.
The House to Consider the Veto on
Tuesday.

WASHINGTON. April IAN exciting
week Is promised in the House. The
struggle over the O'Neill-Joy contested
election case will be resumed tomorrow.
Although it has been apparent since this
case has been up that at least dozen
members on the Democratic side of the
House were opposed to seating the Demo-
cratic contestant, the partisan feeling en-
gendered during the last few days of the
filibuster has served to drive those who
were lukewarm into camp, and while they
will probably not vote for O'Neill. they
will at least lend their votes and presence
10 make the necessary quorum to seat the
st. Louis Democrat. The English-Hilb born
case will follow, and so far as known the
Democrats are united on the proposition
to seat English, the contestant.
On Tuesday, according 10 the notice
served by Bland on Friday. he will ask
the House TO consider the Presidents veto
of the silver seignioIage bill, and will
move to pass the bill over the veto. AS 1t
requires two-thirds vote to override the
objections of the President there is little
hope that BANDS motion can be carried.
Nevertheless it Is expected the debate will
be of an exceedingly lively character. The
silver men are 10 a state OF revolt, and
they avow their purpose to rake the ad-
ministration fore and aft. Some out
spoken criticism can be looked for.
The debate upon the proposition to pass
the bill over the veto may last a week If
the silver men are so disposed. as the Re
publicans will be glad to join them to pre-
vent limit being placed upon it. When
the veto messageis disposed of the House
will again go back to the appropriation
bills. The Postoffice bill is still unfinished.
It will be followed by the consular and
diplomatic and the army appropriation

Yesterday-Next Sundays Big
Relay Bicycle Race.

A number Of cyclers journeyed to San

1t was quite a private tryout. and it

was "a min. 40 see.

promises to become popular this season.
Among the members are some who can

but when the money power through their
