By Judge Grosscup's decision at Chi
cago last week the shippers OF livestock
have gained another fight against the
railroads. Until July last the railroad
companies had delivered cars Of live
stock at the Union Stock yards at q
single freight rate, but this fall have re-
quired all shippers to pay an additional
rate of 50 per car for switching the cars
onto the stock yard company's tracks
and transit to the pens. Wilson T.
keenan,, who has won several victories
over the railroads previous to this &C.
c~ssion, took up the fight and shipped
four car loads Of beef from Kansas City
for the purpose of making a test case,
he refusing to pay the additional charge
and appealing the case to the courts.
In his decision Judge Grosscup holds
that the charge is not legitimate and
orders Mr.. Keenan's car delivered, as
we'll as ordering the receivers of the de-
PENDANT road to discontinued such charge
in the future.

Senator Power has introduced a bill
providing for the free-coinage of silver,
making the silver dollar to consist OF
4l29 grains of standard fineness and
these dollars to be legal tender for all
debts, public and private. While there
is but little chance for any substantial
silver legislation this winter, it is a
good plan to keep up the agitation for
free and unlimited coinage. Congress.
man Hartman has also introduced a
similar bill in the house. An import
ant provision of the measure, however,
is that requiring import duties to be
paid in gold in cases where the articles
of importation are brought from coun-
tries whose governments refuse to open
their mints to the free coinage of sill
yer.

Ths Supplemental Tariff Bills Are not on the
List for censidsrauon at This
Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-To-day's De-
mocratic ANGUS directed the steering
committee to prepare an order Of bus-
mess which will be presented for the
consideration of the senate on the
following subject of legislation: A
bankruptcy bill. a billfor theconstruc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal, a cur
rency bill; bills for the admission OF
Arizona and New Mexico; a bill involv-
ing the interests Of the Indian terri
tory; for the consideration of the
joint resolution of the house of repre-
sentatives on the election of United
State senator's by the people, and
such other measures, including appro-
priatiOn bills, as the steering COM
mittee may deem important; that in
their report to the caucus the steering
committee shall provide the order in
which the above subjects oflegislation
shall be considered.
The caucus was in session from 2
O'Clock until 400 to-day, and almost
the entire time was devoted % a dis.
cussion of the first proposition OF
Senator Daniel, instructing the com
mittee on rules to brign in an amend
ment for cloture, and speeches were at
times very spirited.
Senator'S Vest, Villas. Berry and
George made speeches favoring the
proposition, while Senators German,
Morgan, Palmer, Harris, Pugh and
others opposed it with vigor and
warmth. The speeches were in the
same vein as those which have been
made in these nate, except the speakers
discussed party questions with more
freedom, pointing out thefact that, on
one side, the Democrats would soon
he in the minority j N the senate, and
probably in the protection which the
present rules would afford, while or
the other side, advocates OF cloturs
urged the Importance OF the supple
mentary tariff bills, and admitted
that there was no possibility OF such
action without q rule for the limita
ton of debate.
The opponents OF the change evi
IDENTIFY had the best of the argument
from the beginning. 1t is understood
that they invoked the ghost of the
force bill and urged that if the Repub
Leans should get in power they would
revise this measure. The protest
against the proposed changes was sc
general that when a vote was taker
no one considered it necessary to ash
for the ayes and nays.
When the cloture provision was de
feated, friends of the tariff bill gave
up the fight, considering it unnecessary
to make any attempt to revive thei'
consideration, in view of the opposi
ton of the majority OF the Republi
cans, and because of the fact that
any determined opposition under the
the rules would insure their defeat
Hence it is that those bills do no,
appear in the official list of bills to bs
presented for the consideration OF the
senate. The order for the prepare
rion OF the currency bill by the financ,
committee carries with it instructions
to take the recommendation OF the
president and secretary of the treas
ury into consideration. 1t is also un
derstood that a feasible proposition
for the utilization OF silver is to b,
in any currency scheme presented to
or by the committee.

The question of choosing senators by
direct vote Of the people was up in the
senate last week, Turpie Of Indiana,
making a strong speech in favor of the
proposition. 1t is doubtful whether a
majority could be secured to pass such
a bill. Some of those holding seats
know too well how they got them, and
feel that their political career would be
cut short if they were denied the
privilege of manipulating state legis-
latures.

was a hard pull for the victors. With the

scored bv the Babbingtons with two men on
bases. The friends of the defeated club were

The Louisville Courier-J ournal tells this
story: If man does not believe there is such
a thing as luck let him go to race track
There was good illustration on Derby day.
A young man went out to see what races
were like. He had not thought of betting,
but after he had been there n while he saw
that everybody was "playing." SO he went
d own in the betting stand to look into the
the matter. He arrived just after they had
posted the odds on the second race. He saw
the name .'Elise," and at once he knew that
Elise was going to win. He had been
thinking about Elise for weeks, sending her
flowers and going to see her twice week
dear Elise The name could not lose. He
went straight up to bookmaker and said:
Il want to bet you $40 that Elise will win
the next race, If you please"
He did not grow excited during the race;
he was not surprised when Elise won, only
very proud. He pulled out his ticket and
showed it to group Of friends, saying:

Eureka Athletic Club Will Provide Good
Sport for the Public.
The Eureka Athletic Club will make its ini-
tial bow to the sporting public at its club
house at Highland Station, Nd, this even
ing. The card contains several bouts be-
tween well-known local pugilists, and the
contests will without doubt be among the
most interesting given to Washington sports
men during the current season. Interest
centers about the go between Bolan and Cal
lahan. while that between Billy O'Brien, of
Newark, and the local lightweight colored
champion, Frank Holcomb, is a matter of
guesswork among those who have followed
local events during this season.
Holcomb recently defeated Monk Robinson
in n whirlwind 20 at Rock Hill Park. and
O'Brien is the man whom BoIan bested earlier
in the season. Both these bouts will be well
contested. and considerable money has been
wagered on the results.
The pernicious system of passing the hat
will be missed at the contests given by the
club, and the treatment Afforded the public
and the contestants will be of the squarest
order. Special trains will be run to accom-
modate those who desire to see the interest

COGHLAN'S LAST WIFE.
She Sizes for Divorce from the Actor-Guar.
dian Appointed for Her.

Kuehne Beveridge that was, Mrs. Charles
Coghlan No. . that is, has taken the first step
toward procuring an absolute divorce from
the actor.
The attorneys of record in the case are
Cantor Il Van Shaick, and in the petition pre-
sented before Judge McAdam in the superior
court yesterday Mrs. Coghan No. asked
that William A. Boeckel. OF the same law firm,
be appointed her guardian, rs she is minor.
Her petition says she was 10 years old Octo-
Der 81 last. and that she was married October
% last. Judge McAdam appointed Mr..
Boeckel guardian, in accordance with the re-
quest.
The suit is for absolute divorce and not for
annuiment OF the marriage. and though Mrs.
Coghlan No. is not named rs correspondent.
it is plain TO see what Kuehne Beveridge-
Coghlan thinks OF the position of the first
Mrs. Coghlan.
The lawyers in the case absolutely refused
to say word in the matter. and kuelne Bev-
eridge could not be found yesterday. either
at the Ashland house. where she is living. or
at No. 121 East Seventeenth street, where she
has studio with O'Donoyan, the sculptor.
When the marriage Of the pretty young
sculptures and actress was announced by tele-
graph from Indianapolis nobody believed it
in New York. because tie actors friends
knew he had a wife and daughter living. Ex-
Governor BeveridGe. her father, positively de-
cared it could not be. because he knew
Coghlan was married man. but Just the
same it was true. and Charles Coghlan said
he had but one wife. kuehne Beyeridge.
The marriage took place after midnight
and in somewhat OF hurry. Afterwards
Coghlan is reported to have said that the GER
emory was performed when he did not know
what he was about. The reputed Mrs Cogh-
Ian began suit for divorce in January last
but he has returned to her and It is said that
the proceedings will be stopped. Kuehne
Beveridge accompanied Coghlan on n starring
trip to Pittsburs. where he intended to put
on .'Disehgaged." but he tell sick of pneu-
monia before the opening night. She nursed
him all through and then came back to this
city with her mother. the Baroness Won
Wrede. while Coghlan arrived alone.
Afterward Charles Coghlan fell sick again
here in New York. and Mrs. Coghlan No. l
nursed him. One of tho surprises in this af-
fair was that after his marriage to Kuehne
Beveridge. Charles Coghian denied positively
that Gertrude Coghlan. whom everybody sup
posed to be his daughter. was any kin at all
to MIN. She is now playing in Rose Cogh-
lans company, and is believed to have
brought about the reconciliation between
Coshlan and the woman who has been called
Mrs. CoShian for so long.
kuehne Beveridge first became known il
October. 1892. when she modced the busts OF
President Cleveland and Vice President Ste
venson and later of Corbett the pugilist She
is very pretty young woman. with Titan
red hair. and n great many photographs have
been taken OF her in all sorts of poses in very
clinging frocks.-New York World.
