to the countess, offer you the Easter
kiss" He then kissed the countess,
repeating the formula, to which she re-
piled in voice full of emotion, and
kissed his hand.
And you, Capt Apraxin," said the
tsar, were insalted by worthless fell
low. You were struck on the cheek,

dishonor removed"
The tsar kissed the counts cheek,
then, turning haughtily round:
And you, Capt Jacobovitch," ex-
claimed he, 'who have insulted this
woman and struck her husband, are
degraded and ordered TO Siberia"
As Jacobovitch made his exit, the
tsar bowed to the assembIage, and re-
tired from this somewhat theatrical
scene
Count and Countess Apraxin were be-
siegcd, for they had become quite irl-
portant personages in the last few mig
utes. This was the first intimatiou
that any of the eourtiers had of what
had happened, and they were in costa
sizes over the tsar's behavior.

HILL. TALKS SENSE.
Enough For All O,her senators
Single Handed.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-In the Senate
today the conference report on the legis-
lativc, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill was agreed to.
At one O'Clock the conference report on
the tariff bill was called up and Mr..
Caliiev took the floor, rcsuming his
speech begun yesterday.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Hill went
into an elaborate defence of President
Cleveland and his letter to Chairman
Wilson. Hill said he had knownt tie Pres
ident for many years. He was a man
who said little in conversation. He was
a good listener He formed his concIu-
sons slowly. deliberately, honestly and
sincerely. He permitted his party friends
to disclose their plans and purposes
Aud it was certain to his tf!ill's) mind
that the President did not bind himself
to the provisions of the Senate bill and
that he did not approve them.
The President, Hill said. had not in
tended to dictate to either branch OF Con-
gress. The letter could not be construed
into dietation. 1t was suggestion, an
cxpoetulation, a warning to his party
friends not to persist in the Senate bill.
Hill argued that the letter violated no
clause OF the constitution, and that the
President had the constitutional, legal
and moral right to send it.
Hill wound up two hours speech
bristling all over with the spikes and
slelrs of his wit and sarcasm, by com
pairing the Senatorial conspiracy
against President Cleveland to tina,
" hich compass,d the assassination o
Julius Caesar. In this historical paral
