There Is no law protecting the game in the

The herd OF buffalo in the Park was in

elk within It's boundasies. Unless Congress
protects them 1t will be almost impossible TO
pseYent their destruction.

side summer such light wraps are by no
means necessary, as the fur lined ones used
in December are not too great a protection
against the strong COO winds that blow in
from the ocean at night. Neither does
mountain air afford any excuse for n light
covering to unprotected arms and shout
ders, for after sunset the temperature falls
amazingly and does not mount to a com
Portable altitude again until several hours
after the sun has risen.
Therefore winter evening wraps will be
found more serviceable than those lighter
ones which amply protect the woman who
INDUCES in city festivities at this time of
the year. The keen upland air hasa search
ing quality that will not be denied once
n is out of An artificial temperature. To
go to the mountains or the shore with only
summer weight clothing, like going to sea
without flannels and warm wraps, betrays
a lack Of previous experience. OF course
there are exceptional years when the at
mosphere is almost uniformly warm, butas
a rule 1t is safe to count on not only chilly
but cold nights.
A sketch Is given of a pretty Partisan
model for a thin evening wrap. 1t is made
of light cloth and lined with satin of the
same shade. The back is loose and laid in
plaits in the middle, the front is plated at
either side, while the wing sleeves form a
part Of the body Of the cloak. A wide
gathered piece of velvet forms an epaulet
over each sleeve wing, and a gold and pearl
passementerie ornament with a long fringe
Of pendants is placed on either side Of the
back folds. JUDO CHoLLET.

TARIFF

Senate Chamber on Monday
Next.

ment of the Views of the Finance
Committee.

Republicans-OtherS Who VIII
Speak.

WASHINGTON, March 3t~.-Senators on
both sides of the chamber are marshal
ing their forces for the tariff debate
which is to be begun on Monday next.
Senator Voorhees, will open the discus
sion with a speech of about two hours
in length, defining the Democratic par
tvs position on the question as viewed
by the majority of the committee. He
will be followed by Senator Allison On
behalf of Republican members. Beyond
this nothing is known as to the order Of
speeches on either side. Senators
Lodge, Hale and Washburn are ex-
pected to make speeches On the Repub-
lican side in the early stages Of the gem
eral debate, as will also Senator Nor
rill, but he will confine himself largely
to the income tax. Senator Hill is also
expected to speak in opposition to the
income tax feature of the bill next
week.
Senator Mcpherson will probably fol.
low Senator Voorhees, on the Demo-
cratic side. but this is not definitely
determined. Senator Vest said that he
did not know whether he would
make Il speech during the general dis
cussion. Senator Jones will make no
general speech at all, and Senator Har-
ris is also doubtful as to whether he will
do more than participate in the running
debate without making a set speech.
Senator Aldrich will probably withhold
his speech until the close of the general
debate and until just prior to the taking
up of the schedules. The Republicans
will not move to recommit the bill.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Encouraging.

Tho Prospects In Building Lines Rather
Encouraging.
CLEVELAND, o., March 31.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
Pittsburg and Chicago seem to have
furnished most Of tho moderate activity
of the iron .market the past week, wilde
in the n item Of pig iron Cincinnati
mas perhaps gone . ove her average
record of the last few months. As if Il
monopoly of the finished material trade
of the East was not sufficient, Pitts
burg producers of pig iron have found
that a 81. 80 freight rate to Philadelphia
and $l.30 to Egrrisburg has opened
the door to wider markets on that COM
modify, and Eastern furnaces are feeling
their competition to some extent. The
general report, East and West, as to fin
ished material is that large orders are
scarcer, but that the demand for small
lots is well maintained and the outlook
in building lines is generally encourage
ing. At Chicago structural work is of
increasing volume, and a good business
is promised in plates.
There are evidences that the consump-
ton OF bessemer pig iron is quite keep
ing pace with the increased production.
1t is certain that Lake Superior besse-
mer ores form a larger percentage of
furnace burdens today than at any
time. The foundry interests continue
depressed, and less than half the melt
ing capacity Of the country is active to-
day. There is u belief, however, that
foundry work is increasing, even though
very gradually.

WHOLESALE FORaERIEA
st. Paul Police Thiuk They Saved tn
Banks From Heavy Loss.

st. Paul Police Think They Saved h
Bank From Heavy Loss.
ST. PAUL, March 2y.-The police are
Of the opinion that they saved the bank
ing and business concerns Of this city
from wholesale forgery swindles. st.
Louis last week went through such an
ordeal, and the workings of the gang
bring to light some mysterious doings in
st. Paul which are thought to have been
the preliminary work of the same band OF
professional swindlers. Two fashion
ably dressed young men recently pre-
scented to the wholesale merchants of
the city contracts for payment for adj
vertising in the United States wholesale
business directory. The contracts
proved to be foryeries, which were so
skillfully executed that they narrowly
escaped being honored. The police
think that these forgeries were intended
by the gang as feelers for future work,
and that if they proved successful the
same names would be used on big
checks which were to have been pre-
sented at the banks. The two young
men were ordered out Of st. Paul, as
nothing could be proved against them.
The detectives believe that they went
from here to st. Louis, where they were
more successful.

Admiral Walker Sent To Honolulu to Look
After American Interests.
CHICAGO, March 31.-A special to
The Record from Washington says:
Secretary Gresham, in co:.versation
with a gentleman, stated That Admiral
Walkers mission to the Hawaiian Is
lands had nothing to do with the estal-
lishment of q naval depot at Pearl har-
Dor, but that a dispatch had been re-
ceived from Mr.. ' lis which it was
not considered expeaicat to send to con-
gress, indicating that an outbreak
might occur at Honolulu at any time
which would require the presence of a
cool, shrewd and determined man to
look after the interests of the Urited
States. Secretary Gresham undoubt-
eddy alluded to the contamination of a
rather startling plot which has been
disclosed while Mr.. Davies, the guar
dian OF Princess Kaiulani, has teen in
Washington. This plan contemplates
The Restoration of the Queen
with the assistance of England, and a
British protectorate in the Hawaiian
Islands. Mr.. Davies is a thorough En-
glishman. His sympathies are entirely
with Great Britain and he now goes to
represent her fallen majesty at the
court of st. James in the affair. The
plan is to have the queen proclaim her
sovereignty and then proceed at once to
the British legation, which is immedl-
ateiy across the street from the palace
IN which she now resides, and there az
ply for protection on the pretense thar
her life is i'll danger. Mr.. Woodehouse,
the British minister, will recognize her
rs queen and give her the protection
She desires. 1t is undoubtedly in con
hection with this affair that Mr.. Davies
has visited Washington, and he has
given due notice of the intentions of her
majesty to the president and secretary
of state.

BUTTE, Mont, March 31.-[Special to
The TRIBUNE.l-Quing Tuck Wing, a
well-known merchant Of Chinatown, was
murderously assaulted about 3 o'clock
this a. m. by Gee Tuck. The assault
was made for the purpose Of robbery.
The man assaulted is lying in a danger
GUS condition from the effects of six or
seven gashes with a knife and a Ratchet.
Gee Tuck lived in the same place with
Quipg Tuck Wing. The former has
been out Of work for some time and
spent most of his time gambling. This
morning while the Chinese merchant was
yet asleep, Gee Tuck stealthily approach
ed his bed with a big butcher knife in
his hand, bounced upon his victim and
cut him across the throat with the knife
and then gouged his left eye and
inflicted another cut back of
the neck Surprising his victim
dead the would-be assassin took a hat
Chef for the purpose of prying open a
chest where the money was supposed to
be. While doing this Quing Tuck Wing
revived and, getting out of bed, he went
towards the wouid-be slayer. The latter
made a rush and struck the wounded
and bleeding man a blow on the left
cheekbone with the Ratchet, the blade
going through the bone. Even this did
not fell Quing Tuck Wing, who made a
struggle for his life. The murderous
Chinaman lost hold Of the Ratchet and
then took the knife again. The mer-
chant was greatly exhausted from loss OF
blood and tottered to the front door
while the other man escaped through
the rear. Blood stains showed he, too,
had been wounded. Gee Tuck lis a
powerful man and is lame in the left leg.
lie escaped without any shoes or hat
on.
DR.. Holmes responded to a call to
dress the wounds of Wing. He found
that the cuts on the throat and neck
were not deep but the left eye was cut
in two and will have to be taken out.
None of the wounds are necessarily fatal
unless other complications set in.
Gee Tuck has lived around Butte for
several years and has been employed as
a cook. He is generally called Sam.
The officers are making a di'ligent
search for him. They feel assured he
cannot get away as every avenue of es-
cape is we'll guarded. Cinnamon have
also searched for the murderer. They
say he is a highlander. Since Gee Tuck
has been out of work he was befriended
by Quing Tuck Wing, who allowed him
to stop in his place and take his meals
with him. 1t is supposed the would-be
assassin became desperate on account of
his losses at the gambling tables.
A reward of $3.50 has been offered by
Cinnamon for the capture of Gee Tuck
1t is said he was employed by Chris MIS-
ter at Silver Bow for several years.

HURT THE WHEAT.
The Recent Cold Snap Said to Have
Seriously Damaged the VIM
ter Variety
In Some Sections of the Country, Es-
pecially in Western Kansas
and Oklahoma.
Some Portions Of Illinois and Ne
braska Also Suffered to a
Great Extent.

CHICAGO, March 29.-The Herald
rays: 1t is feared the recent cold snap,
following a season of warm weather,
greatly damaged the winter wheat crop,
but is too soon to give even in APPROX
innate estimate of the injury. Even
those i'll the best position to judge differ
in their opinions and are disposed to
await later and more definite advices.
The crop is thought to have been dam
aged in Western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though a ray Of hope is found in
the fact that the ground was dry.
Central and Eastern Kansas is reported
to have escaped without serious loss.
Opinions ON the Minnesota crop are
contradictory, but it is likely TO suffer
If the cold weather is followed by a sud-
den thaw. Some farmers think that in
the absence of alternate freezing and
thawing, the wheat has escaped dam
age. 1t is thought the Ohio crop was
not far enough advanced to be injured.
In Eastern and Central Nebraska wheat
is believed to have suffered severely,
but farther north and west the recent
snowfall has protected the grow
ing plants. 1t is feared that Indiana
wheat has suffered considerably, but if
the cold has not reached the roots, rs is
hoped, the damage may not be as Sc
rious as feared. A report from Sparta,
Ills, says the crop is badly damaged in
n locality to the extent of 80 per cent.
1t is thought Michigan has escaped
without serious injury. North and
South Dakota are not in the winter
wheat belt. In the latter the melting
snow will benefit spring wheat. In the
former planting is backward and the
acreage Of spring wheat will be one
third less than last year.

SILK STREET COSTUME.

point of view. the loose, dropping girdle Is
infinitely preferable, being more natural,
but it can be worn only with the one piece

The general public of today, however, is
not particularly artistic. The feminine
part of it likes to feel itself we'll strapped
in and comfortably boiler plated, while the
masculine part approves the custom as
meat" and having "go," SO the round
waist found favor as soon as 1t appeared,
and it seems to intend to remain as the only
alternative of the long coat, which is a
rather more formal style, suited especially
for middle aged and elderly women, al
though not confined to them. There is a
Juvenile air about the belted bodice, and
nobody who is no longer young does we'll to
wear it. Nearly all the separate silk waists
are made in this fashion, although in trim
ming and finish they show such variety.
The round gathered bodice is OF course
made over a fitted lining in all cases, as it
otherwise becomes baggy and snapeless.
The great objection to this mode lies in
the difficulty experienced in preventing the
fastening Of the skirt from slipping below
the belt. Nobody has yet invented an infal-
ible method for keeping it in place, and it is
