AFFAIRS OF THE NATION.
Questions Which Will be Discussed
in Congress This Week.

Correspondence Connected With

Islands-The Internal Revenue Bill

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Present indica-
tions are that the Senate will divide it's
time this week between the Federal cleo
tions bill and the question Of the bond
issue. There is positive agreement
upon the part of the Republicans to take
up the elections bill with view to its
final disposition. On the other hand, the
continued postponement Of the discus
sion of the subject seems to indicate there
may be some design of quietly brushing
the subject aside until the tariff bill shall
reach the Senate and absorb its entire
time. 1t is evident that the Democratic
leaders have some apprehension Of this
course, and are determined that it shall
not succeed. 1t will be impossible to
keep the bond question entirely out of
the Senate, and there is a possibility that
it may be subject to considerable debate.
According to the special order voting
on the tariff bill and the pending amend
ments in the House will begin week
from tomorrow. The coming week Will
witness fight over the big amendments
to be offered to the bill from the Demo-
CldeAS SlNlSs h0 iu1l Ol DSUiO-
cratic opposition to the bill will then de-
velOp and considerable bad blood will
doubtless be manifested. The sugar men
will make a strong fight on the ground
that sugar is a revenue article and in ac-
cordance with the dictates OF the Chicago
platform should be made dutiable to sup
ply the deficit which it is estimated the
customs schedule of the Wilson bill will
cause. But the chances for the adoption
OF the sugar duty are slim. Tuesday is
set apart for consideration of the amend
ment to the free coal and free iron ore
schedules. If the Republicans join with
the coal and iron men they will make the
vote close, but the Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee manifest no
alarm. Later III the week the internal
revenue bill, including the income tax,
will probably be offered as an amend
ment to the bill. If the advocates of the
income tax are successful, and the meas
ure is put on the tariff bill as a rider, it
will cause several Democrats to vote
against the entire measure.

Memorial Window in Honor of the

ANNAPOLIS (Md.), Jan. 21.-The mem
ory of the American naval heroes, who

KEEN BYESIGHT OF INDIANS.
Little Color Blindness-Infiamed Eye
lids From smoky Tepees.


lids From smoky Tepees.
DIR. Carlos Montezuma, the Govern
ment Physician of the Indian School at
Carlisle, has brought to Philadelphia
thirty Indian children of both sexes Tor
eye treatment at the Medico-C ChIrurgical
Hospital, says the Press. The cases are
of great interest in optical study, as they
show just what effect civilization has
upon the eyes of the redskin, who is ac-
customed TO prairie life with all its free
dom Of action. The disease with which
the eyes OF the little band is afflicted is in-
tlamed eyelids. The smoky tepees largely
cause this trouble and when brought
East the contagion spread throughout the
school. Ii often runs into granular lids
with tendency TO destroy The eyeslght.
Sometimes ulcers OF the cornea get so bad
that the eye shrinks away and the eyeball
has to be removed. But the cases OF the
children just brought on were not so Sc
we're, with the exception OF one boy, who
will possibly lose one of his eyes.
Upon examination it was found that
the Indian boy and girl have one-tenth
more vision than white child. They
are what might be called "far sighted"
Their eyes are adjusted to discern objects
at great distances. Consequently when
they are brought East and placed in
schools there Is complete change in
visual objects. What they see is near at
hand. They become subject to head
aches, due to the great strain caused, and
disease follows. An interesting feature
has been brought in the tests for color
blindness. IT has been found that the
Indian has an extremely low aver
age of color defects. Color blindness in
an Indian is very rare. About twelve
of the thirty children had their eyes
tested for glasses, which they will only
use when reading or studying. DIR. Mon
tezuma, who brought the children here,
is an Indian himself and has had ro-
mantle career. lie is OF the Apache tribe,
his father being one of the brayest OF
these fierce warriors. When five years
old he was carried away captive by the
Pruise Indians, who had made war on
the Apaches, and later was sold to a land
scape photographer, who took him to Illi-
nois and sent him to the State University
and later the Chicago Medical College.

VALLEJO, Jan. 21.-Another tragedy
occurred here to-day, as the direct out
come of the murder of d. j. Sullivan of
San Francisco in pawdy house here last
Tuesday night. George Crolly. the dis
reputable associate of the woman inmate
of the house, is under arrest for the muir
der. At the Coroner's inquest on Satur-
day, A. S. Hill, keeper of the bagnio, gave
testimony directly duplicating Crolly as
the murderer of Sullivan. This after
noon at o'clock Hill blew his own brains
out with pistol, dying instantly. 1t now
appears that Hill began drinking soon
after he left the Coroner's court Saturday
afternoon, and that friends of Crolly
found him, and upbraided him for DESERT
ing the prisoner. They even threatened
that he had better leave town, and 1t is now
said that the police had been warned that
Hill was preparing TO go to avoid giving
further testimony against CrOlly. This
afternoon Policeman Fleming started out
to apprehend Hill and take him into
custody. Hill was in the front room of
his own house and saw the policeman
approaching. He dashed out of the rear
door, ran TO his sisters house on the
water front, and there blew his brains
out. 1t is said Hill feared he was to be
arrested as an accomplice in the murder.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT SAN DIEGO.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 2I.-Miss Ruth Sill
berry, aged about a years. attempted to
commit suicide this evening by jumping

men were on the wharf, and board was
quickly thrown to the girl, but she re-
fused to touch it. A sailor of the United
States steamship Albatross and another
man got a boat and reached the girl be-
fore she sank. She begged them to let

A SANTA CRUZ SENSATION.
Cowardly Attempt to Assassinate the
Chief of Police.

Chief of Police.
SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 21.-At o'clock last
evening T. II. Cowling made cowardly
attempt to assassinate Chief of Police
Rawle. The Chief was walking along
Cooper street, with his overcoat buttoned
up to his neck and his pistol in his rear
pocket in a sheath. When he reached
the City Bank. with his back half turned,
Cowling reached over the Chiefs shoul-
der, put a pistol in his face and fired.
The Chief fell, when Cowling fired again
and ran across the street to his brothers
bakery. The Chief. jumping to his feet
followed, unbuttoning his coat as he ran.
When he reached the middle of the street
he fell on the car track, but quickly arose,
pistol in hand. COwling had got behind
a door, and fired as the Chief entered the
store. The Chief fired also, telling Cow
ling to come out into the store if he
wanted to fire. Cowling responded by
firing, the bullet whistling past the
Chiefs head and entering the plate
glass window of the City Bank.
Some one called to the Chief that Cowl-
ing had gone into the yard in the rear of
the store The Chief went to Locust
street to effect an entrance, but found the
gate closed. He then returned to Pacific
avenue, and getting on his knees crawled
to the door and saw Cowling looking out
from behind his barricade. CowIing saw
the Chief and fired, and the Chief fired in
return, the ball striking Cowling in the
right lung. He fell backward.
The Chief was powder burned in the
face. Cowling's chances for recovery are
doubtful.
Cowlings grievance was due to the fact
that the Chief had arrested him some
months ago for exhibiting pistol during
a disturbance. He then threatened to
kill the Chief. He served a term in Jail
for the offense, the insanity plea not be-
ing proven. Cowling threatened the
lives of Justice Craighill, who held him
to answer, District Attorney Lindsay and
Detective Swan. He tried to escape while
in Jail, but Under Sheriff Wright pre-
vented him. Officer Robinson also fired
three shots at Cowling.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoE.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 21.-If the advices re-
ceived by Sheriff Ben Hill to-day are
correct, Evans and Morrell are probably
now far in the interior of the wilds of the
Peninsular of Lower California. The
advices are from a Thoroughly reliable
source, and from parties that could have
no possible object in misleading the of1i
GERS. Under Sheriff Crenshaw received a
telephone message from Escondido this
morning stating that two men answering
the description of Evans and Morrell
had been seen the day before. The in
formation came from ex-Sheriff Cravath,
who said that he had learned that the
men were seen in Keyes Canyon, about
eight miles to the northeast of Escondido,
by school teacher named Ross, who was
teaching school in the canyon.
There was some lively work over the
telephone during the morning, both I'm
der Sheriff Crenshaw and Deputy Sheriff
Wilson working to get the particulars of
the Ross story. Finally Deputy Sheriff
Wilson secured particulars from A. II.
Beach, who said he had just secured them
from Ross.
The report had been current in Escon-
dido on Saturday, but was not believed.
Ross said that at o'clock on Thursday
afternoon two men drove UP TO the school,
house in Keyes Canyon and stopped to
water their horse. They came up the
canyon, which is a lonely Out-ot-the- way
place from the San Luis Rey River road.
This is an old stage road direct from Los
Angeles TO San Luis Rey and up the river
to Bear Valley. The school teacher was
at once struck by the resemblance of the
tO dissertation "a had of
Evans and Morrell. The man he took to
be Evans had laprobe thrown over his
left shoulder and in front, which he held
with his right hand, but it slipped and
Ross saw that his left hand was cut Oft.
The mans right eye was closed or miss
ing.
The other man was driving. They
drove one horse only, hitched to light
cart.
The sight of the men scared the school
teacher half out of his wits. He could
not tell whether they carried arms or not;
he could not recall seeing any. They
asked Ross the shortest road to the Mex
ican line, and he directed them as best he
could. They Immediately left, taking the
road due south, leading to Warmers
ranch, and which would take them to
Campo, on the Mexican line.
Ross returned to his task and taught
school the next day, going TO Escondldo
Gu Saturday and telling what he had seen.
By that time the men were stfely at the
line.
No importance was attached to Ross
report, and consequently the Sherif's Of
flee was not notified. Ross, however, is
an intelligent man, of good reputation,
and has no possible reason for telling an
unTruth about the matter.
The Sheriffs office will notify the Mex
lean authorities tomorrow and secure
their cooperation in locating the bandits.

A NOTED sMUGGLER.
Barry Kelly Jailed, Charged With Va

Barry Kelly Jailed, Charged With Va
rious Serious Offenses.
TACOMA wash. Jan. M.-Barry Kelly,
the notorious smuggler, is reported to be
in jail at Anacortes, charged with various
serious offenses, chief among which are
the knocking down and maltreating OF
his wife, an Indian woman, and attempt
ing to crimnally assault his two eldest
children. The family fled to neighbor's
named Doty for protection. Kelly fol-
lowed, but DOty, who is noted L4GrhS-
man, was ready for him with gun and
kept him Oft until an officer arrived.
The foregoing is the first news of Kelly
in years. He was the most successful
Chinese trafficker in the Northwest, and
made Hadlock his headquarters. 1t is
said that his great success in eluding the
revenue and customs officials was ac-
complished with the aid of two sloops,
one light-blue craft with sails OF cor
responding color and the other jet black.
The two swift sailers were always to-
gether. During the day the blue vessel
carried the coolies, while the black one
detracted attention and usually played to
be chased by the cutter. At night they
changed the Cinnamon to the black sloop
and used the other for blind.
one of the principal reasons OF kelly's
success in bringing in Chinese is that he
would stop at nothing to successfully
land them and escape. 1t is narrated
that on one occasion he was coming over
from Victoria with All unusually light
load of contrabands when he inadvert-
emily ran upon the revenue cutter VOL
colt. Marvellous as it may seem, the
Wolcott gave chase, and was rapidly
catching up with the sloop, when Kelly,
with a long term in the pen staring him
in the face, is said to have deliberately
thrown his four passengers overheard,
and when the.revenue officer boarded his
vessel nothing was found.
On another occasion be is credited with
having packed dozen coolies in the for
ward compartment of one of his sloops
and then nailed the hatch down. Some
hours later it was opened and eight pas
sengers crawled out more than dead than
alive The other four were dead.
