CAUSED SURPRISE.
Portions Of the Iron Schedule Of
the Mckinley Bill Passed by
the Senate.
DEMOCRATS MOVE THE INCREASE.
Senator Walsh Explains His Bill
to Punish Interference With
the Mails.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The senate
disposed of seven paragraphs of the
metal schedule during the day after
eight hours of debate. The debate was
marked by quite number of interest
ing clashes between the Republicans
and Democrats. The sensational fea-
ture of the day was caused by the IN
expected presentation by Mr.. Jones of
an amendment substituting the Nc
Kinley bill classification and specific
rates on round iron in coils, blooms and
charcoal iron, somewhat higher than
those already proposed. This amend
ment was surprise to some senators
on both sides, although
Evidently Anticipated
by Mr.. Quay and a few other of his COL
leagues. Mr.. Hale tried to use it as a
text for haunting the Democratic side,
and Mr.. Teller read him very plain
lecture on the duty of the Republicans
to accept such increase as the Demo
Gratis were willing to grant without
Gliding their adversaries with incon-
sistencies. When the vote was taken
seven Democrats and two Populists re-
fused to support the Jones substitute,
namely, Allen, Berry, Blackburn, JAR
Wis. Kyle, Mills, Lindsay, Pascoe and
PETER. The duty on iron ore was fixed
at 40 cents a ton, and on pig iron and
scrap iron at 81 per ton.
Mr.. Walsh. Explains.
Just before the tariff bill was taken
up Mr.. Walsh, the new senator from
Georgia, arose to personal explana-
nation in connection with newspaper
paragraph from St. Paul, stating that
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers had adopted resolutions condemn
ing him for making the retarding of the
United States mail punishable by 20
years imprisonment. Mr.. Walsh ex-
planned that the bill aimed at heavier
penalties for train robbers; they had
construed it as an attempt to punish
trainmen who should ''tie up train
In strike. In conclusion, Mr.. Walsh
reintroduced his bill in modified form
SO as to leave no doubt of it's purpose.

ties on the question as to whether the
minister of public works had the au-
thority to allow the employees of the
state railroads to attend the congress of
railroad men. The premier,> M. Cash.
mir-Perier, demanded the adoption of
the order of the day, pure and simple.
The premier's motion was rejected by
vote of 275 to 225. M. Cassimir-P erier
thereupon left the Palais Bourbon, and
the ministers subsequently proceeded to
the Elysee palace and handed their res
ignations to President Carnot.
Previous to the defeat, NJ. Jaures,
Socialist. asked whether the minister of
public works had the authority to allow
the employees of the state railroads to
attend the congress of railroad men.
M. Jonnart replied that he could not
interfere with the decisions of the di-
rectors of the railroads. Personally, he
thought that permission might he
granted upon the condition that the
Service Was Not Impaired
state railroad law of 1885, respecting
trades unions, M. Jonnart said that it
could not lie applied to state employees.
adding, IF we permitted them to form
unions, we should authorize them to re-
volt against the authorities"

said: Two motions have leen sub
mitted. Which shall be put first to a
vote?'
The question was followed by loud
cries of both motions are the same"

Radicals.
M. Casimir-P erier's withdra wal from
the cabinet will be irrevocable, and it
is thought that none of his colleagues

ton for the reason that the views voiced
by M. Jonnart, minister of public
works, in the chamber were assented to
by all the ministers at council during
the morning. .-~ ; -

IT WAS PECULIAR.

But the Kind Of Whisher That No One
Could F1irt With.
A broad shouldered man, fashionably
dressed, came into the lobby of an up town
hotel on Saturday evening. He looked like
an athlete. His step was springy, and his
face was ruddy with health He was just
the sort of man you would steer clear of in
fight. Still it was none of these qualities
that attracted the attention of every person
IN the lobby. He wore peculiar Whisker.
Hanging from his chin was long blond
wlsp of hair, such as stage farmers and
some sure enough ones wear It was q
whisker that waved briskly in every pass
ing wind. 1t was so clearly out of place on
this man of the worlds face that young
fellow, holder than the rest, engaged it's
owner in conversation and after a time
asked him about it.
THAT'S a peculiar whisker you wear
there,' said the young man insinuatingly.
'Yes," assented the other.
''That the style where you came from?"
''No."
'Then, if the question is proper, should
like to know why you wear it?''
The broad shouldered man smiled a bit
and said: ''rll tell you why. grew that
whisker for the sole and only purpose of
getting fresh young men to talk about it
and thereby giving me an opportunity to
get even with them"
The young man shivered apprehensively
Don't be afraid," said the other. Il was
not alluding. The fact is, was riding on
the railroad awhile ago, and there was a
man in the seat in front of me who had
wisp of hair on his chin. It was similar to
this in all respects, save that it was gray,
for he was an old man. There was party
OF fresh young collegians in the same car,
and when they saw the old mans whisker
they began to make game of it. One Ian
tern jawed youth amused himself and his
companions by reaching over, taking hold
OF the whisker and saying, tNa-a7a-a,, like
billygoat He kept that up for 40 miles,
greatly to the old mans discomfort. Right
then and there resolved to grow similar
whisker. I did it, and Pm looking for some
body to shake that appendage and say, Ma
ara-a.' When that somebody does those
things, there is going to be trouble, and
after that I'm going to shave it off. I have
noticed, however, that it makes heap of
difference whose chin the billvgoat whis-
ker is on."-Buffalo Express.
