from Palermo to the races at La Favorita,
where in an amphitheatef of great noun
tains the Sicilian nobility had gathered to
see some bad racing. 1t was one of the
most beautiful spots on earth. Tho great
mountains hemmed about level plain,
and it seemed too grand for horse racing.
But then, it was not real racing, you
know, only weak imitation, which really
did not detract from the sublimity OF the
place, but gave people an excuse for being
there We were driving back after the
races through the Corso, where up and
down the Sicilian great mon passed one
another when, swinging up the broad
way, l saw carriage, the panels of which
blazed with afmorial bearings 1t was OF
an ancient and most respectable make, and
was drawn by four white horses, on two OF
which were positions in liveries OF blue
and silver. On the box, with folded arms,
sat two footmen in the same livery, and
on the footboard behind wero two moro,
all four with cooked hats ana white, curl
ing wigs. On tho blue velvet cushions OF
the carriage reclincd an old man, with q
snow whito imperial and mustache. Hd

meath dropping eyelids lusterless eyes look

Possibilities Of Surgery.

Tho extent to which the human body
can be mutilated without causing death
is beyond what most people think. Of
course tho removal Of the largest limb
is familiar fact, but the successive re-
moval of all tho limbs would i'll most
cases result in nothing worse than in
convenience. In the same way the in
ternal organs may DO oxtirpatcd. This
is facilitated by their quality. Ono kid
noy may DO removed, and the other will
make up for the loss by doing double
work. Ono eye may be taken out and
tho sight remain practically unimpair-
cd. Large portions of the brain may be
removed with no injury to life OF intel
lect. A portion of tho intestines has
been cut ont and the ends sewed togeth-

ton have not been interfered with. st

sions of coincidence were uttered by
speakers. The police we're called in,
and after a number OF heads had been
cracked the excitsble Italians da-
peraed, and France is atill with

news of Carnot'e assassination
reached here. many Italian citizens ex-
pressed keen regret Mt the outrage and
steps were taken to have mass meet
ing held at which suitable action could
be taken to condole with the French
citizens in their great loss and to de-
nounce the assassin. Tonight Bersagli-

it coon became evident that thew were
not there to sympathizs with France.
When Joseph L. Calegarie, a prominent
Italian druggist, attempted to speak
words of coincidence, he was hooted and
howled at, and then the riot began. His
friends rallied TO his eupport and a fight
ensued. The police interiered and es-
corted Calegeris to his home and this

"When they had become accustomed

Senate and House Pro-
ceedings.

BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 26.--The senate en-
tered upon the 18th week OF the tariff
debate today. Allen made another at
tempt to secure action on his resolution
directing the secretary OF the treasury
to inform the senate of the total number
Of persons engaged in protected indus
tries whose wages might be affected by
tariff legislation. Gallinger objected.
Morrill, moved to refer it to the finance
committee. Allen gave notice that as long
ga the resolution was unacted upon he
would object to all legislation by unanl'
nous consent. MorrlPs motion was de-
fested, 16 to 27. The senate then re-
sumed consideration of the income tax
provisions of the tariff bill.
Hill withdrew the amendment offered
Saturday to strike out the provision ex-
euptipg interest on United States bonds
| from the operation OF the tax. HIS
object in offering the amendment, Hill
said. WAS to call the attention oil the
country to the fact that $635, ,0O0,0o
property in government ponds WAS
necessarily exempt from the opera
ton of the tax under the law. Although
| the OEten6lDle puTpOee Vi hn InooAo wa
yee to reach wealth and equalize taxa
ton, there was an enormous investment
of capital which the income tax could
not reach. Hill moved to exempt state,
county and municipal bonds. He ar
gued that the taxation OF state bonds by
the federal government would be q
direct attack upon the administration of
the states. If the federal government
bad the right to diminish the value OF
state bonds and securities 1t had the
right tc destroy them.
Discussion on the constitutionality OF
a national tax on state or municipal
bonds continued for some time, and
when a vote was taken on Hills amend
ment it was lost rs to so.
Hill then modified his amendment go
as to coniine the exemption to state
bonds.
Hills amendment to exempt interest
from etate bonds was also lost-27 to 30.
Hill then moved to strike out the
provision for tax on personal prop
erty acquired by gift or inheritance.
Lost-25 to 35.
