the following note to Gen. Couer, colonel
of his foot guards:
by kind of miracle I have escaped
from my assassins, and am now at the
little mill of Mairemont Come as soon
as may be to convey me from here. l am
wounded, but not badly"
The king experienced some difficulty in
finding messenger to take the billet to
Warsaw, but at length succeeded. With
out minutes delay Couer repaired to
the mill, followed by detachment of
guards On arriving there he found the
king sound asleep on the ground, covered
by the miller's cloak. The reader can
imagine all that ensued-the surprise of
the miller and his family when they dis
covered whom they had treated with such
scant courtesy: the delight of the king at
the happy ending of his night of peril; ;
the rejoicing in Warsaw when the citi-
zens welcomed back their sovereign.

MASCULINE APPLICATIONS.
The Idiotic Stare, the Walking Stick
Evening Tie and Nonchalence.
From the New York sun.


From the New York sun.
1t is said on excellent authority that the
idiotic stare is still in favor among the
exotic youth of swelldom, and any fash
ionable young man who cannot learn how
to abstract every atom Of expression from
the countenance and look on vacancy with
an expression of imbecility, cannot belong
to tho select coterie or hold rank in the
inner circles
There are other important matters
which must be carefully committed if one
desires to be in the van of fashion The
first of these relates to the walking stick.
and this involves perhaps the most seri-
Gus responsibility, or the stick mnst be
left at home when going to business. to
church, or to make calls. The reason of
the latter bylaw is. that, in the language
of the stick, to call upon Young lady
while carrying a cane, implies that the
caller is on sufficiently intimate terms to
look in on her causually any time. What
finer subtlety than this is to be found in
the intricacies of feminine etiquettel
Then there is fixed and immutable
law governing the carrying of the cane.
The correct style is to hold it at an angle
of forty-tive degrees, with the ferrule
uppermost and forward. OF course. this
is the sort of thing no man could possibly
discover Tor himself, for the unsOphisti-
Gated would naturally carry his stick
with the point TO the ground and in so
doing stand revealed as initiated in the
supreme refinement of etiquette.
No man with a particle OF self-respect
would wear madeup evening tie, and
as some men find it quite impossible TO
learn to tie the bow themselves there has
sprug up a new industry for women. A
young woman in London has taken up
the unique calling of going about from
house to house tying The neckgear of dis
traught bachelors who cannot do it for
themselves. The custom will probably
be introduced on this side along with the
other English quirks. Let no man in his
conceit assume that when Pandora
opened her casket women monopolized
all the vanity
Besides it isn't good form TO be so criti-
cal A nOnchalant beneyolence. superior
and patroniling is the latest mode, and il
is not good form TO be caustic or pessi-
mistic any more.

"steerers' at Hot Springs.
From the washington Post.


zone of the features of Hot Springs,
Ark, is what they call 'steerer' down
there, said George w. Bingham, Of Low
ell, Mass, at the Ebbitt. Anywhere
else in America they call him a confidence
man and put him in Jail. But in Hot
Springs the steerer is a power. Some
four or five years ago the Iron Mountain
road put up a notice in its oars running
into the city warning people OF the steerer.
The latter finally forced the road TO take
them down by means Of the doctors Of
Hot Springs, who employ the steerers and
who threatened the road with big dam

lumber for grubs. dismounted from my

grizzlies and fired. The bullet tumbled
MIN, but he was on his
feet again in an instant. The other bear
had stopped its grabbing when this
one fell and looked at him in surprise.
The wounded bear glared at the other for
a moment, and then apparently made up
its mind that his companion had knocked
him down, for he pitched into that bear
with a tierceness that was terrible to see.
Instantly furious battle was on The
bears cllnched and bit and raked one an
other with their claws, and their savage
cries could easily have been heard quar-
ter of mile away. In a very short time
their tough hides were hanging in strips
on their huge bodies, and the bears were
drenched with blood. 1 never saw or ex-
pect to see such a fearful sight. The
grizzlies fought for at least ten minutes,
and the one had wounded failed to get
up after being hurled to the ground by
his antagonist, and the latter stood over
It's PROSTATE foe and tore him with its
claws until it had disembowelled the con-
quered bear
Then the victor, growing and gnash-
ing its teeth, moved away few steps,
staggered like a drunken men, and fell to
the ground. 1t tried to get up, but could
not. crept cautiously to the spot, fear
ing that the bear might still have enough
vitality to make it lively for me when it
discovered me, but my caution was not
called for. The grizzly was as dead as its
late antagonist. The two bears were the
most prodigous specimens of their kind

ally torn to pieces There was not a whole
piece Of skin or flesh on either of them as
big as my hat. That they were able to in
tict such terrible punishment on each
other was not so amazing to me after
had examined the weapons they used.
Their claws were five inches long and as
sharp as pitchfork tines, and their teeth
were nearly four inches long l believe

A TARIFF BILL TO BE PASSED.
Just What It's Nature Will Be Not Yet
Certain.

Washington, July 24-The caucus of
the Senate democrats this afternoon de-
cided nothing. 1t will meet again to-mor-
row afternoon. In the meantime sensa-
tions are simmering down and calm is
once more being restored.
Senator Hill made great speech to-
day. 1t ranks in eloquence along side of
that made by Mr. German yesterday.
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky will
speak tomorrow. He will take the posi-
ton that the United States Senate is no
place for Senator German, Senator Hill
or President Cleveland to settle their pri-
vate animosities. THE Senate should 90
ahead in its work of tariff reform, " he
said TO the MORNING News correspondent
today, land the malevolence of any sena-
tor should not be permitted to deter it.
If the senators are unable to rise to the
duty assigned to them by the people, they
should resign and go home, and let the
voice of the coun ~ be heard again.
THE CoNFEREEs TO MEET TOMORROW.
The conference committees will get to-
gether by Thursday, it is now thought.
1t will be definitely settled tomorrow
afternoon whether the Senate will in
struct its committee or not. The squab-
BILE this afternoon was over the adoption
of Senator Villas motion, which will, if
carried, instruct the Senate conferees to
recede on the one-eighth discrimina tion
in the sugar schedule. An attempt was
made TO get Senator Villas to Withdraw
his motion, but he refused to do this.
THE TURNING POINT.
The fate of the tariff bill now seems to
depend on which motion-Senator Villas
or Senator Grays-has the precedence.
If Senator Harris, who is president pro
tempore, rules that Mr., Gray's motion
takes precedence, then the conferees will
20 back uninstructed and some conclusion
can be reached. AS Senator Villas mo-
ton to instruct is not so pertinent as that
of Senator Gray, it is believed that it
will be side-tracked for that of the Della
ware senator. Should the motion
prevail, as it undoubtedly would
if it gets precedence, then it
looks very gloomy for the bill.
Senators Smith, Caffery and Blanch-
ard adhere to their determination to vote
against the measure if the one-eighth
duty on sugar is stricken out. This is
the situation tonight, yet conclusions
cannot be drawn from what appears logi-
cal In spite of all that has been said
there is a firm conviction in the minds of
every one that any measure whatsoever,
that is aged TO in conference, will pass
But one thing seems certain tonight;
that a bill, not necessarily that of the
House, nor yet that of the Senate, but
that bill will be passed, and that speed

favor Of the Senate bill and the insistence
Of the conferees on the amendments made
by the Senate
one senator speaking of the caucus to-
night said MIR. Villas was the only man
who appeared to be friendly TO the agree
ment, and the only one who wanted any
change in the existing bill"
To ADOPT THE JARVIS RESOLUTION.
A prominent democratic senator, who
has largely been instrumental in getting
the bill through the Senate, said onight
he believed the caucus would tomorrow
adopt the resolution of Senator Jarvis, or
one of similar import, and the bill would
be sent back to conference without in
structions of any sort to che conferees. He
believed the democrats would
be able TO get together, and added
that there We're assurances that if the bill
got back TO conference the House would
ultimately agree to the Senate bill IN all
its material points. That there would be
concessions on the part of the Senate he
admitted, but on none that struck the
main points now in issue This
senator spoke, as he said by
authority, and maintained that the
Senate bill would prevail, and that the
House had come to realize that it must
accept it or assume the responsibility for
the defeat that stares the bill and the
party in the face in the event they decline
to yield
The general feeling among the demo
Gratis after the caucus was that the end
was in sight and that the Senate bill
would pass safely through the last legis-
lative stages and be passed.

DEBs' TRIAL FOR CONTEMPT.
The Court Declares His Answer to the
Charge Insufficient.

Chicago, July 24.-Debs and other OFF,
GERS of the American Railway Union met
with decided reverse to-day in their
fight against the prosecution for con
tempt in the United States court The
court decided that the answer filed by
the defendant is not a sufficient reply TO
the charge of contempt. and the motion
Of their attorneys that they be dis
charged was Overruled. Tomorrow morn
ing the court will hear the evidence of
the government to sustain the contempt
charge, and the defendants will be given
the opportunity to produce evidence in
their defense.
The argument in the case was finished
shortly before 5 O'Clock this afternoon,
and the decision was announced by Judge
Woods when he had conferred for a few
minutes with his colleague, Judge Gross
cup. In substance, Judge Woods
said: THE main point alleged is
that a contempt case like this is
a criminal proceeding, and the motion
is to discharge the respondents on the
ground that they deny the contempt. 1t
is true that procedure like this is cri-
minal technically, but not essentially. 1t
is an incident in the main case in equity
under the bill filed by the government.
No case has been cited here in which the
federal courts have sustained the PROPOSE
tion put forward by the aJtor-
neys for the respondents. If any
thing should happen 20 change our
minds during the further course of the
case, the defendants will have the bene-
fit of the change. AS it is now, we are
certain to rule that the answer is not
complete. AS the case is to be further
examined, it is well that all questions be
kept as free as possible from opinions
from the court, and we will, therefore,
not give any extended opinion"
MAY GO TO MASTER.
Judge Woods then asked the attorneys
IN the case to say how long IL would re-
duire TO hear the evidence on the charge
of contempt. AS he did not wish to re-
main in the city, he suggested that the
matter be referred to a master in chan
Gerry to take testimony. The suggestion
met with the favor of the counsel for the
defense, but the lawyers for the
government opposed It, District Attorney
Milchrist said the evidence for the gov
eminent could be ali presented in a day
at the most, while Mr. Gregory suggested
that the case be given to a master with
orders to report in thirty days. The
court finally decided TO go on with the
case to morrow morning, with the under
standing that if it did not make
rapid progress, it might be sent to
a master at any time. During the
discussion Edwin Walker special coun-
sci for the government made the sugges-
ton that it was within the power Of the
defendants TO end the trouble by declaring
the strike Off They are still in contempt,
he said, and the government is in posses
sion of information that the injunction is
still being violated. Judge Woods said if
there are further complications of the
injunction, a supplemental information
can be filed, and the guilty parties will
find themselves in much worse position
than they would otherwise be.

FEARS FOR wELLMAN's SAFETY
Arctic Sailors Confident That the
Party Has Been Lost

London, July 24-Carl Siewers writes
to the Standard that he is in receipt of
advises from Norway that leave little
doubt that the Wellnan Arctic expedi-
ton is lost. Experienced sailors just re-
turned from Spitzbergen are Of the same
opinion, and Col Fielding. who accom-
panied Capt. Mares expedition In 1875,
shares this belief The Pail Mall Gazette
Is in receipt of similar advices from
Tromseur, Norway, all confirming the
general belief In the fate of the expedi
ton.
Arctic sailors report that the foe Of
pack ice in the Arctic seas this summer
has been so plentiful and dense that no
vessel could live after being caught in it.
They are unanimously of the opinion that
the Ragnvald Jarl has been crushed In
the ice, and believe that the chance of
any members of the expedition having
been saved is very remote. Even II they
managed to get on an ice foe, they would
be in dangerous position, and not likely
TO survive long.

paper correspondent, Is at the head of the
