An old man had a very narrow escape
from death last night. He attempted to
board a Branch avenue car while in mo-
ton. The car was going too fast for him
however, for when he grasped the rail he
was dragged for nearly 80 yards before the
car was stopped. Then he let go and
boarded the car. When he reached
Constitution Hill he found he was on the
wrong car, so he got of.

A director OF the Boston club said yes
that, while the club is doing better finan-
cially, than last year, the receipts
are still only about one-half what
the players claim. In Brooklyn where
there were reported TO be 1900
present, deadheads and all, the Boston
club got paid for about 5000. In Wash
ington not enough money was taken to
pay the salaries and board bills. In
Baltimore and Philadelphia the receipts
were fair, and in New York the receipts
were the largest. The books
show, said this director, that in the last
five years the amount OF business done
leaves debt OF Sol 600 due the directors,
who spent their money freely during the
turbulent times OF 30 '93.

The Church Menhaden Fishery as ii
Will Appear
In "Notes on America" by an Euglish
Traveler-Senator Church Sponsor
for the Story.

Senator George Church is a good story
teller, and 1t frequently happens that he
has an exceedingly good story
to tell. When the embers gather

while they wait for the tardy

he may tell his story for the benefit of the
other staid aud honorable Senators.
One OF the Senator's best stories is told
at his own expense, and IL is good enough
TO be repeated, even IL unaccompanied by
the expressions and gestures that add so
materially to the character of the story.
IL was one day last summer that Mr..
church took scat in car to return to
his home from Providence. He started to
read paper, but soon became greatly in
terested in the conversation of two men
who sat in the seat in front of him. One
was an American, and he was describing
the places along the road to his compan-
ion, who seemed to be an Englishman who
had little respect for the institutions of
this country.
Suddenly the Englishman caught sight
OF the large oil works.
"What Is that 20 he asked.
That" exclaimed the American, slap
ping his companion on the back with a
gesture OF excitement. THAT is the great
est institution in thig State. It's the
Church Menhaden Fishery and you never
heard OF such company. They have 20
steamers always ready at their docks.
Way out in. midocean they have es-
tablished system OF observatories. They
have driven large piles down through
the water and hundreds of feet above they
have built big platforms on which they
have placed some of the biggest telescopes
you ever saw. Here a man is always on the
lookout, and when a school of menhaden
is discovered he telegraphs the informa-
tion back to the dock and a
couple of steamers start. right out after
the fish. When they return so heavily

boats will go to the bottom they 90 up

"Law!" replied the American. "What

Yesterdays Debate.
The senate again proceeded with the
tariff bill yesterday The second amend
ment on the first page of the bill is the
ostensibe subject of discussion, although
the first tfixing the date on which the bill
shall go into effecD was not disposed of,
but simply passed over.
The debate has not yet touched the
pending amendments. II is all of gen
eral nature. What effect the introduc-
tion Of the compromise amendments will
have on the present struggle was not
developed. The Republicans showed no
signs of yielding They still present
their unbroken front. The Democrats
have changed their tactics noticeably.
They propose to force tie Republicans to
do all the talking II it is to be fight
against time.
The Democrats mutely endured the
goadfng from their adversaries almost all
day rather than enter into the intermina-
BILE controversies in which the thrusts are
designed TO involve them. Senator Gray
at last could not refrain from jumping
into the arena when Senator Hoar, in the
course of his speech, charged Democrats
who supported any measure which adj
mitted the principle of protection with
being false to their oaths and to the con-
stitution.
very spirited clash between Messrs.
Hoar and Gray followed. The storm
lashed the waves of the serene senate into
something of fury, and before quiet
was restored Senators Palmer, Hale and
Morrill, became involved. This was the
only marked feature of the days pro-
ceedings. The remainder of the day,
until the senate went into executive
session few minutes before o'clock,
was occupied by Mr. Quay in continua-
tion of his serial speech, with frequent
rollcalls to give him breathing spells.
In the House.
The bill for the erection OF a public
printing Office in Washington occupied
the attention of the house during the
greater part of the day. and came to a
rather ignominious ending. a number
OF amendments and substitutes were
offered TO the first section, providing for
the purchase Of a site but the only one
which finally came out of the melee was
resolution of Mr.. Holman to refer the
question TO commission. TO consist OF

The naval appropriation bill was called
mp and briefly explained in-some- of lis
parts by Mr.. Cummings, but the house
adjourned before he had concluded his
remarks.

Still Opposes the Bill and
Shows No Concern
As to Effect of His Course on His
Political Future.
By The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Now that the re.
vised tariff bill has been launched upon
the senate, 1t is the intention Of the ma
jority to proceed actively with the con-
sideration Of the measure.
Generally, the bill as IL now stands is re-
garded as much better measure than
the one which passed the house, or the one
reported from the finance committee. and
Is looked upon as the one on which the
Democratic party is to solidify and pass
There Is some dissatisfaction with the
action of the revising committee on the
Democratic side, but it is not expected
that the dissatisfied will array themselves
against the compromise, with the excep-
ton Of Hill. All the Democratic senators
are expected to support 1t.
Considerable indignation is expressed
by the more radical tariff reformers of the
house against the action of the senate
committee, and particularly with the
sugar schedule, and the changes made in
the income tax sections. The modifica.
tions Of the woolen schedule were not
made, notwithstanding the strong pres
cure that was brought to bear up to the
last moment.
Opposition From Louisiana.

Louisiana in declaring against the repeal
OF the bounty. and instructing their sen
a.ors To vote against such proposition,
and for certain rates Of duty on imported
sugar, has disturbed the Democrats i'm
