George y. Burns, assistant superln-
tendent of the menagerie, told the story
briefly. "All through the day we tried
to administer the poison, cyanide of
potassium, by one means or another,
but did not succeed. At last we decided
on bran, and using small capsules, Sny-
der made up balls of wet bran in each
one OF which was placed capsule con-
tanning about five or six grains of the
cyanide. They were placed in the or
binary pail in which food had been
given him before. At seven and a halt
minutes past four he put his trunk in
the pail and taking up ball of the
bran
BLEW 1T DOWN HIS THROAT.
Several others followed, and then he
stopped; something seemed TO affect
him. He moved to the front OF the cage
and rubbed his side against the bars,
then be trumpeted once or twice, and
at the end of four minutes seemed TO 90
into a couvulsion, his body sweled aud
his efforts TO strain and burst the
chain were tremendous. Finally
the chain that went around his body
burst. Getting down on the floor, hs
dragged himself toward the door of the
cage, until reaching the limit of the
heavy chain which secured his fOreleg
TO two of the front bars, he stumbled
and fell. He did not go down with a
crash, however, but went over on his
side, front first, stiffened out and died
in Just twelve minutes from the time he
took the first ball of wet bran"
Elephant Tip was unQuestionably q
great sinner in mis- day, but he was
greatly sinned against in his taking off.
Park Commissioners ClauSen, Strauss
and Bell, accompanied by Superintend-
ent Smith and Secretary Burns arrived
at Central Park at 6 O'Clock, in'company
with Drs. Huntington, Allen and
Spitzka.
At $685. they gave Tip carrot, in a
cavity OF which were two ounces of
cyanide of potassium.
THE ELEPHANT SWALLOWED 1T
aud then elected il. Afterwards he was
given an apple with similar dose,
which he swallowed. Another dosed
apple and piece of bread charged with
cyanide of potassium be refused TO
touch.
At 7:32 old Tip began to vomit and
continued for a half hour. His legs
were beginning TO wobble a little, but
the only poison be had really swallowed
so far was that contained in an apple.
Tip was an incorriGible brute and has
killed eight keepers. All efforts at
subduing him mad proven frutless, and
there was nothing left for the Central
Park commissioners TO do but kill him
or take chances Of his killing many un-
SuSpecting people who might be gath
cred about his quarters.

LOUISIANA SUGAR MEN.
They Are Not EveN satisfied with What
the senate Bu Provides.

New ORLEANS, May 1.-THE sugar
convention met at noon at the Acad-
envy OF Music. The convention was
fairly large and thoroughly representa-
tive.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the sugar schedule of the Senate
Finance Committee, fixing the duty on
raw sugar at 40 per cent. al valorem, is
inadequate protection 10 the home pro-
ducer.
That the sugar tariff was Instituted
in the beginning Of the government
and was continued from that day up to
1890, when the Mckinley bounty law
went into operation, the bounty being
supposed 10 take the place Of the duty
then prevailing, although the bounty
itself was a reduction OF the rate Of the
tariff law az that time.
Under the influence OF that bounty
the sugar Industry OF Louisiana has
been increased in three years from 1S0,-
600 tons 70 500, 600 tons.
That If the present law be abrogated
and the duty adopted, the sugar
Industry will be practically destroyed.

this will only produce increased taxa
tion 10 the amount Of twenty millions,
as ten Of the thirty millions collected
on sugar would have been paid as
bounty.
The other amendments and changes
in the Wilson bill made by the Senate
Committee are OF much less importance
and great number of them are either
formal or immaterial.
THE TARIFF on COAL,
which has never heretofore been less
than IS cents ton, is practically cut In
Two and placed At forty cents. About
tho same proportion is observed In
the cut on iron ore. These amendments
In my Judgment will not amount
TO much Que way or the other and were
not made q sine qua non By any
one. The theory OF the Finance Com
mittee, no doubt, was that 10 changing
the revenue system Of the country from
high protective system 10 Demo
cratic idea OF tariff for revenge II was
better 10 reduce the tariff In all cases
than TO make TOO sudden and extreme
changes by placing TOO many articles
pom the free list and in that way run
ming the risk Of too greatly disturbing
the business Of the country.
The iron schedule is somewhat
changed from that OF the Wilson DILL
but the average duties in that schedule
are not materially changed. Inc
changes are largely OF classification
retaining about the same general aver
age Of duties.
THE pottery schedule is also
changed, but not materially.
'The Wilson bill, as it came
from tho House, made the aver
age duties under the DILL, as
estimated oy the Treasury Depart
ment, when reduced TO an adValorem
basis, thirty-hve per cent. The Senate
hill as first reported 10 the Senate re-
duced the average duties on the same
basis 10 thrtY-fve per cent, making
reduction Of one per cent from the aver
age OF the Wilson bill. The amend
ments TO the Senate bill, as now pro-
posed, consist very largely Of changes
RESTORING THE DUTIES
under the Senate bill To what they were
under the Wilson bill, AMI while have
seen no statement from the Treasury
Department, estimating the average
percentage OF duty in the Senate bill, as
it will stand, modified by the amend
ments, my impression is that it will not
vary one per cent. from the Wilson bill
on average results.
al am also Of the opinion that most,
il not all, Of the changes made IN the
Senate bill will be approved by the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means Of the House
and also by Mr.. Wilson, and that the
tariff bill, when passed, will be a genu-
inc Democratic measure, conforming to
the Democratic platform, and that II
will give such satisfaction to the coun-
try that speedy revival Of business
will ensue and another Democratic vic
tory at the polls will follow in the fall.

PULLMAN SHOPMEE STRIKE.
Over Two Thousand of the Paiaos Car
CompaRy's Aen Go Out

Compaay's Aen Go Out.
CHICAGO, May 1.-Two thousand
employees OF the Pullman. Palace Car
Company quit work to-day. Trouble
has been brewing for some time, the
men demanding the restoration OF
331S per cent. cut in the wages made
last year. The officials OF the company
refused the demand and asserted that
they were running the plant at loss
for the purpose OF giving the mon en-
ployment.
The strike was the result OF a meeting
Of the mediation committee OF the
Americ an Railway Union, which was in
session until 4 o'clock this morning at
Kensington. The committee advised
the local unions to take vote on the
subject OF striking and afterwards heard
that the decision had reached the
officers OF the company, and that
the latter had decided TO SHUT down the
works at noon to-day. Rather than be
laid of the local union decided TO 20 In
and strike and word was passed around
TO this effect as soon as the men assem-
bled at the shops. 1t is claimed that
three OF the conference committee who
worked in the iron shops were laid of
for being on the committee and this fact
had a great effect on the men.
Tonight notice was posted on the
gates leading to the Pullman works de-
clarlng that the works were closed and
would not resume operations until fur
ther notice. The notice was signed by
General Manager Middleton, who said
tonight:
1--WE told the men that we were not
running for our profit, but TO give them
work. We now propose TO show them
that we meant what we said"
Late tonight Vice President, Howard
OF the American Railway Union, who
has assumed charge OF the strike, re-
newed the statement made by him sew
eral days ago TO the effect that unless a
speedy settlement was effected, IL was
more than probable that the trainmen
on the railways on which are organized
branches OF the American Railway
Union will refuse 10 handle any OF the
Pullman rolling stock.
A massmeeting Of the striking EN-
ployes was held tonight and great en-
thusiasm was manifested by the men.
Several speeches were made, all adyis-
ing the men TO be orderly, and 10 keep
away from the works during the strike.
This the men promised to do. Exactly
2, O50 men and us girls are now out and
the strikers expect that others now al
vork will soon iOln them.

CATION OF the plates OF the
Morator Monterey. at Mare

TO CONTROL THE TELgGRAPH.
Arguments in Favor OF the GOvernmen

Arg umentB in Favor OF the Government
Taking Possession.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May l1.-Marion
c. Butler, President OF the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union made an
argument before the House Committee
on Postofice in support of postal tele-
graph legislation. The Alliance favor
ed the postal telegraph scheme because
it would correct al evil OF monopoly.
representative Mag guire, OF California,
also spoke in continuation OF his argu-
ment on the subject, which he began
last week. He declared that the tele-
graph business was monopoly; that an
attempt to meet it by private compett-
tion would result in no beneht 10 the
people, consequently the government
ought 10 assume charge OF the business.
He believed for So, 900, 600 the pres
ent Western Union plant could be du-
plicated, and the people would nothave
70 paw the interest on theS90, goo, 0O0capl-
talization in stock which does not rep
resent actual investment. Replying 70
ousetions, he said he did not think any
Que could perform the work of the pos-
tai service as cheap as the government,
which led Representative Loud,
of California, to remark that he wOuid
be willing to take four year contract
for the work at $50 10000 per year
Sundry difficulties that would probably
arise in the transfer of the telegraph 20
the government were suggested by
various members of the committee, but
Mr.. Mcguire believed that these could
be overcome or obvisted in ways that
would not work hardships on the tele-
graOh companies
