ST. LOUIS, Feb. CA fearful battle for
his life was fought by George Elder with
six burglars here. Elder sleeps and works
in a tailor shop and was aroused by the
breaking in of the door. Six men crowded
in, and Elder reached for a hatchet, but was
driven back by a blow on the head from
the bar used in opening the door. He final
ly reached the weapon, and blows upon
blows were exchanged until the hatchrt
was wrenched from Elders hand. He still
fought desperately. Finally he reached a
pair of shears, which he used as a dagger,
ultimately driving the crowd away. He
then fell unconscious and now lies prob
ably dying from fractured skull. Two
of the gang are in Jail.

About the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The senate COM
mittee ON finance was the scene of two
changes 1t was announced authoritative
ly that Senator Mills would retire from
the committee and that Mr. Mcpherson
would resume his seat, and Mr. Mills con-
firmed the report. When the senate ad-
journed, Mr.. Mills stated that there had
been a reconsideration; that Mr.. McPher-
son did not believe himself in state of
health to warrant his undertaking the
work of Il full member of the committee
and had asked Mr.. Mills to continue as a
member in his stead, which he woulG do.
The second change has set at rest num-
Der of rumOrs which were afioat as to the
cause of the first change. One of these
was tc the effect that it was brought about
by the dissatisfaction of eastern Demo
cratic senators with the work of the sub
committee. This dissatisfaction certainly
exists to a degree but it is understood that
it is directed at the bill generally and that
some of the disagreements have been har-
monized.
