Raplee, the New York man, who wrote
to Secretary Carlisle on a letter sheet
headed, The British and American
Financial and Industrial Investment
Syndicate" offering to buy $4,000, 900
ounces of silver from the United States
at 65 cents per ounce, which is about
8 cents an ounce more than it is worth. is
not known in the New York business
community. Raplee referred to Senator
Hill as to his financial standing, after
stating that as one condition precedent to
his purchase he would exact that the
United States impose an export duty of
1915 cents per ounce on silver for the next
five years. Senator Hill has not been
heari from as TO this supposed friend of
his, but it would make no difference if he
were TO be. The government can not
charge an export duty on anything; its
right of levying duties is limited by the
constitution to imports.

The patrons of the MORNING NEWS in
Middle Florida have been complaining
recently of the irregularity of the news
paper mail. The MORNING News has
made a thorough investigation of the
complaints, and finds the irregularities
are due to the failure Of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad to make con
nection with its Florida branches. There
was failure for four successive DAYS.
The failure was due probably to bad
weather north of Savannah. The Morn
ING News will be sent to Middle F lorida
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway until there is better service on
the Florida Central and Peninsular.

AN AWFUL BLOW.
Voorhees, Denounces Wilson
Bill as Deficit Provider.
Rather Than Vote For 1t Unamended
He Would Resign and Hide From
Public Disgrace.

0v Utc AtoOCtQcu fFcss.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator voor-
hees has written letter to Hon. John H..
Stoll, of South Bend, Ind, referring
TO criticisms upon the Senate tariff bill.
While defending the bill he disclaims
responsibility for It., calling attention to
the fact that there are five other Demo-
cratic Senators on the committee whose
opinions as well as his own were consulted
in preparing the bill. SenatorV hees said
s'There are several features in the bill now
pending in the Senate which / did not
desire to have in, but because was over
ruled on those points did not therefore
feel at liberty to join the Republican MEM
bers OF the committee, report no bill at
a.: defeat all Proposed legislation, and
statute books. You will see that the bill
we reported reduces taxes nearly seventy
millions per annum, $23,6O0,00O OF
that amount being taken OF the
wearing apparel OF the people.
i say TO you with the utmost
frankness and sincerity that fought
hard against any duty at all being put on
sugar, iron or coal, but when 1t was de-
monstrated in full three days hard work :
ing caucus of all the Democratic
Senators as well as in the COM
mittee that bill with these
articles absolutely on the free list could
no more pass the Senate than ship OF
came to the conclusion after anxious
and painful solicitude that 1t was
my plain, clear and explicit duty to the
Iaboring masses OF the country and espec-
tally to the Democratic party of 1ndi-
ana, to support the bill as it now
stands, to make sure OF the immense
reductions in tariff taxation which 1t
guarantees. and then continue to fight for
fc-sher progress and reform hereafter.
III / have made a mistake in the
discharge of my duty as one OF
your Senators IL Is in believing that the
bill we reported and which is now pend
ing is greatly to be preferred to no legis-
lation at all and to the odious Mckinley
law which we stand pledged to repeal.
"But / think much is being said and
written now in absolute ignorance OF what
the Senate bill as well as the Wilson bill
actually contains.
"The imperious demand that the Senate
shall pass the Wilson bill without amend
ment Is a burlesque on common sense.
There Is not an intelligent man in the
United States with information on the
subject who has for moment thought
the Wilson bill was to pass the Senate
without amendment.
"Rather than knowingly and conscious
ly secure the passage Of bill which aimed
to provide revenue for the government,
but in reality provided for deficiency
and consequent increase OF our interest
bearing bonded debt, i would gladly leave
my seat here in the Senate and hide my
self forever as far rs possible from public
disgrace.
after all, however, both the bills are
alike, merely tentative and experimental; /;
they will have to go together to the joint
conference committee of the two houses (;
neither Of them in their present terms
will become the law"

for Divorce.
BIZ The Associated Press.

Sioux CITY, Ia, April 23.-The remark
able spectacle of woman suing her dead
husband for divorce is presented by pro-
ceedings in the district court here.
Mirana Paul married VIM. Paul a short
time ago, after being divorced from her
first husband.
Soon after William made discoveries
that lead him to believe that the divorce
was not legal and refused to live with her.
She began suit against him for
q divorce in order to test the
validity of her former divorce. Paul
filed cross petition, in which he asked a
divorce and 1900 damages. Before the
suit came to trial Paul died. The
woman at once asked TO have the suits
abandoned on the ground that his death
removed the cause for action. The heirs
of Paul decline to allow this on the
ground that the property interests de-
manded q settlement of the case. The
matter has been taken under advisement
by the court.

MOB FIRED ON.
Troops and Gendarmes Sub
due Riot Near Budapest.


BUDAPEST, April pa body of about
300 workmen marched yesterday to the
town hall of Hold-M Mezo, Vasarhely,
County of CZongrad, on Lake Hodos,
with the announced intention OF
recovering number of pamphlets, docu-
ments, ETC., belonging to the socialist
leaders of the district, which had recently
been seized by the police.
The authorities, warned OF the intention
of the mob, mustered force of gendarmes
at the town hall. Friends of the work.
men tried TO persuade them to abandon
their purpose, but the leaders OF the mob
continued the march.
Upon arriving in front of the town hall
the workmen were confronted by the
heads of the municipal departments and
by the officer in command of the gen.
darmes.
The spokesman of the mob asked for the
return of the pamphlets, ETC., claiming
that they had been Illegally seized; but
the authorities ordered the workmen to
disperse.
The mob refused and the gendarmes
were ordered to charge. The police were
met by showers OF stones, which drove
them back, and which injured number
of them.
The municipal authorities, in the mean
time, sent for a detachment of troops
which had been held in readiness. Upon
gendarmes made another attempt to
disperse the mob, but the police were
again severely stoned, and the military
were drawn up in front of the town hall.
The authorities thereupon warned the
rioters that the troops would be ordered
to fire unless the commrnd to disperse
was obeyed.
The only reply of the mob was to begin
stoning the military. The soldiers were
then ordered to load with blank cartridges
and a volley was fired. The latter
seeing that nobody was killed or
wounded, continued stoning the troops
and the order was then given to load with
ball cartridges. A second volley, this
time in real earnest, was fired into the
mob, wounding six of them severely, and
slightly wounding number OF others.
One of the wounded men has suffered in
juries which will result in his death.
After this volley a detachment of hus-
sars charged the mob with drawn swords,
riding down the rioters beneath the feet
of their horses, prickiDg a number with
sabres and eventually driving them away
from the neighborhood of the town hall.
The hussars also rounded in go prison.
ners who were lodged in Jail, the prison
being strongly guarded by troops.
The streets are still patrolled by hus-
sars and by Gendaames and reinforcements
are being sent to the scene Of the rioting
as further trouble is anticipated.

The HUBS ARMY
Didn'tStart From the Common
and Disappointed Crowd.
By The Associated Press.

Boston, april ga vast crowd as
sembled on Boston Common yesterday
afternoon to witness the departure of the
hope to join Coxey's army. When Morri.
son J. Swift stepped on to Che improvised
platform there were fully 5000 present,
and soon after the meeting got into work
ing order fully $1,000 were gathered
around the bandstand.
The crowd was q good-natured, hust-
ling bustling one, and did not seem to be
mt all impressed with the occasion or to
be in sympathy with the movement that
the meeting was called for, but had come
simply to have and make fun, which they
did to their hearts content, but at no
time was there anything that could be
called disorderly. Swift opened the meet
ing, but not having a very powerful
voice he could not be heard at a great
distant, and after standing some time the
crowd began to surge forward, and those
in front of the speaker were forced on to
the small platform. which succumbed to
the strain and was broken to fragments.
The speaker was thrown against the sap
ling fence that surrounds the bandstand,
and under the pressure from the crowd
Swift took his position on the band
stand, and delivered his characteristic
speech denouncing the wealthy, the
monopolists and everybody in general
that did not sympathize with the social
list platform.
The speeches were continually inter.
rupted by the tactics Of the crowd, who,
when anything did not meet their APP
proval, would hiss and whistle and COM
mence to push those in front OF them un-
til those close to the fence would cry out,
and which generally brought forth re-
monstrance from the speakers.
Swift submitted a letter to President
Cleveland, purporting to be review Of
the grievances of the unemployed
thousands in New England" and it was
adopted by mighty Yes"
At this point there was conference be-
tween the leaders while one of them was
speaking, aud as result those who had
enrolled themselves in the delegation
were told to slip away quietly and meet
at Roxbury crossing, where Major Gen.
eral Fitzgerald would meet them and
would then march to Dedham.
The immense crowd did not know of
what had been decided upon, and made a
break for fremont street, where they ex-
pected the men TO pass. They waited in
vain, however, as AN hour after the order
was given, IS men, headed by their leader,
Fitzgerald, and carrying the yellow flag,
were marching toward Jamaica Plain.
Traffic on fremont street was blockaded
for several hours after the meeting ad-
journed by the people waiting to see the
''army" start Off.
