WAsHISGToN, April ll.--Au arrange
ment has been made that for tho balance
of this week the senate shall meet Ut noon
and the tariff bill will be taken up at
o'clock and discussed until O'Clock with
out dilatory tactics.
The resolution of Senator Wolcott, pro-
viding for the coinage Of Mexican dollars
at American mints WAS agreed to.
The main feature of the day was tho
speech en- the tariff by Senator Ledge 1t
was scholarly and finished speech, CIV
ing evidence OF much study and careful
consideration.
Senator Quay introduced resolution al
lowing the representatives Of tho textile
workers of Philadelphia the privilege Of
entering their protest against the passage
of the tariff bill next month. If the reso-
luton should pass 1t will establish dan
gerous precedent, 1t IL said, as Coxey's
army may demand the same privilege.
There is no likelihood Of its adoption.
The house devoted the whole day to the
postotfice appropriation bill The attempt
to insert in ths bill an amendment de-
signad TO prevent the bureau Of engraving
and printing from manufacturing postage
stamps under the contract recently
awarded to it by tho postoffice depart
ment was defeated on a point of order. An
amendment TO classify as third class mail
matter, novels, etc, published periodically
on subscription, was adopted and the re-
mainder of the day was occupied discus
sing the Kyle amendment to cut off the
subsidy granted to the fast southern mail.
From the tenor of the debate the indica-
tions seem to be that the amendment will
be defeated

day with pyrotechnic speech such as has
rarely been heard in this section. 1t was

sponse from tho pulpits of New England.

CHAPTER XI.

As before stated, Ike Baxter belonged
to the class known at that time and
still referred to as "poor whites. ="
Through the efforts Of his wife no had
managed to hold onto small farm just
outside Of Winchester, left him by his
father, bat it is doubtful if her argu-
ments would have carried the day had
any one made cash offer for the fow
acres. While Ike always referred to
himself as broken down by hard work,
about five days out Of every week had
been spent tramping around tho coun-
try with his gun or discussing :" Yam
KEGS" and "niggers in the village bar.
rooms with others of his ilk. Accord
ing to his own limo of argument, he was
martyr. Ill luck had always followed
him, even to the birth and death OF
triplets.
Mrs. Baxter also had a constitutional
and ready made grievance. Ii she had
been allowed to have her way about
things, she always argued they would
long ago have been rich and owned mig
gers, Yes, sab, real niggers and mo
or fewer $75 nevis"
Ike Baxter had also been granted
furlough, and according to the stories
he told after reaching home the battle
of Bull Run would not have been vic
tory without him. When anything was
said about Kenton, no was prompt in
replying:
"Dnrn the Yankoei But we uns has
got our eyes open now, and he un cant
play us no mo- trick8l"
He was So outspoken in his language,
and his language was so bitter that
Lawyer Williams and others were given
an inkling Of the true state of affairs.
The lawyer found opportunity to in,
quire of Ike;
Didn't my nephew enlist of his own
accord, and is there man in the com
pany who has exhibited more bravery
and Wen more of "a reputation?"
What did he uli rush in and rally at
Bull Run fur befo' Duke Wyle could
git thar demanded Ike in reply. "Ho
nn just wanted to show off and make
believe. And ism t he un giviu us away
to the Yanks all the time! And ism he
un taltin bout Gineral Jackson and
holdin his head above usY And if he M
6lNo ttie CliaHtt NDll ilt ull give up our
hull army to Giheral Mcclellan Oh,
we uns has our eyes open fur him!''
Mrs Baxter had got tho idea from
Ike letters horne that he had not only
won crown of fame under fire but
was holding the whole Federal army In
check. Ehe could read aad write, but
very poorly. She had picked up most of
her information and all her military
terms from othsrs scarcely less ignorant,
When Ike appeared IN sight down the
road. she ran 10 meet him and welcomed
him with:
"Hurrah fur Gineral Ike Baxter who
fit and fit till the Yankees dun run
away!'
Don t yo' un know nothinl ," angrlly
demanded Ike as he came nearer.
Didn't yo' un ht and ftI''
"Of co'se fit, but yo' needn t CAB it
all over virginny and make other folks
jealous!"
Whar's yo'r stripes?" she asked.
What stripest't
"on yo'rarms-yo'r gineral stripesl"

ment he forgot his prisoner, and when
he had recovered from his excitement
over the discovery he no longer had n
prisoner. Kenton had walked off into
the darkness and made good his escape.
And now as the night drew on apace
and the cold rain steadily beat down
upon the battlefield parties of men went
forth in search of the wounded. They
cared not for tho dead. At the front
there is but little sentiment or sympa-
thy for the wounded. They are cared for
because many of them will recover to
fight in some other battle. They were
found in the open fields, in the fuIrows
half full of water, in the deeper bitches
skirting the forest, among the trees and
bushes dripping with the rainfall.
Some cried out in the darkness with the
broken voices of lost children; others
prayed or cursed or wept. And here
and there. with their faces buried In the
grass or dirt or with faces upturned to
the sky Of night and eyes half open,
were dead men, thousand or more.
The morrow would do for them. The
dead of battlefield ask nothing. The
living give them covering of a few
inches of blood soaked soil, and give
that grudgingly.

MILWAUKEE, April 1.-THE jenkins in
vestisation did not attract much OF q
crowd. Chief Wilkinson, of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, was the first
witness. He related facts concerning the
conference of the Northern Pacific at the
time of the threatened strike. The men
had thought they could not leave the en-
ploy of the railway. He and his associates
Games to the conclusion that they could
not advise the men to leave the employ Of
the receivers, but could advise them to
remain. Chiefs Arnold, Clark. Sargent
and Ramsay also testified, rs did the of
ticers of the road and ex-senator Spooner.
The latter testified that he, with At
torney Miller, had dictated the petition
for the first injunction which forbade the
employees of the Northern Pacific from
striking aud also the order which was is
sued by Judge jenkins. The committee

managed to get away.

Members Present, but These Passed the
Repeal Resolutions without Dissent
ing Vote.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Democratic
caucus, after session of two hours and
half last evening, adopted the following
resolutions without dissenting vote:
Resolved, That II is the sense of this caucus
that the prohibitory tax of 10 per cent. on
state bank Issue be repealed.
Resolved, That when the bill known as the
Brawley ana Spencer bill, which the com.
mittce on banking and currency has ordered
reported 10 the house, is called up for action
an amendment he offered repeating the pro-
hibitory tax on state banks; that ample time
be afforded for discussion, and II necessary to
secure this the committee on rulea be re.
qucsted to take proper action.
Exactly l02 Democratic members of the
house were present. The attendance from
the south and west was very heavy. But
only a few eastern men appeared, among
them being Messrs. Strauss, Cummings,
Dunphy and Warner IN. W, Pigott
Comm, O'Neill (Aiass.) and Sibley (Pa.)
The discussion of the repeal of the state
bank tax proceeded in q desultory way
for time and took wide range. Mr.. CuL
berson CTex,), chairman Of the judiciary
committee,smade strong speech in favor
of it,
There was but little diversity of opinion
IN the caucus on the question of the ad-
visibility Of taking up for consideration
the question of the repeal, but there was
some opposition to unconditional repeal
Mr.. Cummings IN. " made ringing
speech at the end in favor of the repeal
He declared that the people of New York
had cast their votes for Democratic candi-
dates with full knowledge of what the
Chicago platform contained, aud he for
one was ready and anxious to redeem
every plank in that platform.
The result of the caucus only means
that the bill to repeal the state bank tax
shall be considered as a rider to the
Brawley bill, which is now on the calen-
dar, and that vote shall be had upon it.
II was generally admitted In the caucus
that this repeal could not be accomplished
Internationally,
Mr.. Swanson gave as the result of his
canvass 1870 votes for unconditional repeal,
and Mr.. Williams declared as result of
his investigation that n majority of the
house favored the repeal, although not
Internationally. The question Of condi-
tions was only briefly touched upon at the
caucus

sTATE COLLEGE. Pa. April 1.-THE pril
bulletin of the mining department of ths
Pennsylvania State college contains some
interesting summaries from the advance
sheets of the state mine superintendent.
"A comparison of the accidents resulting
from mining and railroading shows that
the former is not so much more danger
Gus than the latter as it is usually con
sidered. Out of every $50 employees in the
bituminous region last year one was killed
out OF every 2o9 one was injured. In rail-
road employ one out of 800 was killed and
ono out of every SO injured. The amount
OF coal produced in the state Of Pennsyl-
vania last year would give each family in
the United States six tons-moro than
enough to supply all If il were SO dis
tributed. II loaded on cars the train
would reach one and one-half times around

CHICAGO, April li.-Prendergast, Mayor
Harrison's murderer, is in dungeon
again. He entered it with blood flowing
from his nose and struggling like mad
man. Prendergast, in charge Of Guard
Smith, was taking his exercise in the cor
ridor when the prisoner sat down in a
chair belonging to the "uard. Smith told
him that this WIS against the rules and
that he must go into his cell if he wished
to sit down. After some words Prender-
gast struck the guard vicious blow on
the neck, and in return received a crack on
the nose that made him see stars. He will
be kept in the dungeon until he agrees to

But there arc doubts, sir. A large

The general could not gainsay that.
