CRISP AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Speaker and the President DIS
cuss the Tariff Bill Situation.

Washington, July 26.-Speaker Crisp was
at the white house today and his visit
with the president caused renewal of
the comment as to- the interest Of the adj
ministration in support of the tariff po-
sition of the house. Mr.. Crisp declined to
say anything concerning the conference,
or to even intimate whether the tariff dead
lock between the two houses was the sub
ject of discussion.
Messrs. Kilgore, of Texas, and Bynum, of
Indiana, the latter Il member of the ways
and means committee, also saw the presi-
dent today. Mr.. Klgore is endeavoring to
stem the the in the house which has set
in for the, last two days toward conces-
sion to most, if not all, that the senate
asked. He thinks that the house will yet
win the struggle, and so told the president.
To his caller, Mr. Cleveland expressed the
same determination shown in the letter to
Chairman Wilson. 1t is evident to them
that he was very fixed in his view Of
the justice of the contention he had pre-
scented, and that there was no disposition
to WAIVER from it, except through such mu-
tual compromises as would give the house
at least q good share of the concessions.
Free from yellow Fever.
Washington, July 2S.-Surgeon General
Wvman of the marine hospital service
has received reports from State Health
officer Porter of Florida, Surgeon Murray
and Sanitary Inspector Guitaras, who have
been investigating the nature OF the fever
at Key West. The reports agree mat the
fever is 'dengue," and state that there
is no suspicion of yellow fever at Key
West Surgeon General Wyman said today
tbat there was no portion of the United
S+ates suspected of being infected with
yellow fever. -

Napoleon used TO make mistakes
IN figures. absolute and positive as
arithmetic has to be. He could have
worked out the most complicated
mathematical problems, and yet he
could rarely total upa SUM correctly.
1t IS fair to add that these errors were
not always made without intention.
For example, ia calculating the NUM-
ber Of men who were to make up his
battahons, regiments or divisions, he
always used to increase the sum total.
One can hardly believe that in doing

Ealtese made known the grievance
Of the tribes. Two Indians had been
captured by a party OF white pioneers
and hanged for theft. Retaliation
for this outrage seemed indispensable.
The chiefs pondered long, but had
little to say. Mcclellan had been on
friendly torlns with them and was
not responsible for the forest execu-
tions. Still he was a white man, and
the chiefs had vowed vengeance
against the race.
The council was prolonged Tor

Mcclellan should Immediately be put

times and medieval times is that
then the scientific constructor and
the artistic constructor were ope per

architecture is divided against itself
The architect reeents the engineer as
barbarian, the engineer makes
light Of the architect as a dilottante.
Il Is difficult to deny that each Is

Here Is a rather pretty story that
Is vouched for by a London Journal.
showing how~a small baby once got
his E.otner into very serious difficult
ties and then made amends BY get
ting her out again. It seems that q
poor seamstreas with q child in her
arms was tried for the theft Of three
gold coins. She said in defense: II
went to my employers house on
business. carried my child with me.
It was ia my arms as it Is now. I
was not paying attention to it. There
were several gold coins on the man
telpiece, and unknown to me It
stretched out itslittle hand and seized
three pieces, which did not observe
until I got home. at once put on
my bonnet and was going back to my
employer to return them when was
arrested. This Is the solemn truth,
as ! hope for heavens mercy"
The court could not believe this
story. They upbraided the mother
for endeavoring TO palm OH such d
falsehood for the truth. But sho SO
pertinaciously asserted her inno-
cenoe that a novel experiment was
made in her favor. One Of tho Of
fcials proposed TO renew the scene
described BY the mother. The gold
coins were placed on the clerks ta-
bio. The mother was requested to
resume tho position IN which she
stood at her employers house. There
was then a breathless pause ia court
The baby soon discovered the bright
coins, eyed them for a moment,
smiled and then clutched them in it's
fingers with a niser's eagerness. The
mother was at once acquitted.
