PADUcAH, KY, June 11.-kelley's Com

thence overland to Washington City.
DENVER. June II.-Dr. Purcell. of the
Coxey army which left Denver on boats
on the Platte river, was drowned today be-
low Brighton by the swamping of boat.
Sheriff Burshinell has decided that no
more Coxeyites will be allowed to enter
Denver under penalty of arrest and inn
prisonment for vagrancy. Until the Com
monweal movement has subsidized special
deputies will patrol incoming trains and
all the public highways leading into the
city, and no one unable to give satisfac-
tory account of himself will be permitted
to pass the boundary line. This action is
made necessary by the fact that Denyer's
extreme generosity and hospitality in the
past have been heralded to all the Com
monwealers throughout the Northwest,
several thousand of whom are now headed
this way

tude of People.
LEXINGTON, KY. June ii.--About 6,0oo
strangers were here today TO hear w. l..
Owens and Evan Settle, the candidates for
congress in opposition 10 Col. Breckin-
ridge. They spoke in the opera house to
crowd only measured by the walls.
Owens made several illusions to Col.
Breckinridge, but made no new attack.
He said, however. that he stood by every
word uttered in his famous Paris speech,
when he attacked Breckenridge bitterly.
lie said that if anybody took offense at
what he said he wanted that person TO
come TO him like a man and not sneak off
behind that iong-eared, long-haired. ire
sponsible. crazy brute, Charles [. Moore.
Moore published in his Prohibition paper
several columns last week against Owens,
and this allusion is a reflection on BrecK-
inridge. who is said by the Owens men to
have furnished Moore the information.
Settle and Owens spoke again tonight at
the courthouse.

| had never exchanged word with Mr..
Benedict on the subject of sugar or any
other business matter. He said be had
come to Washington early in March after
the tariff bill had passed the house, With
the hopes of getting hearing before the
finance committee, and had gone to Sena-
tor Vest aud asked if it would not be pos
sible to get a hearing. Mr.. Vest said no,
but had agreed to allow linn TO explain
the sugar question TO him lVestJ lndl-
vidualiy, and he had done SO.
He then explained his interview with
Senator Jones at Senator Camden's room.
He had talked with Jones about three
quarters of an hour about the different
systems of.levying dutyiand also the cost OF
refining sugar in this and other countries.
He said be had been invited co Senator
Price's and asked by the senator to meet
Senator Gallery, and when he met him
merely went over the argument. Mt
Havermeyer said he had gone TO the capl-
toll but not for the purpose OF seeing sena-
tors or representatives. Mr. Haveimeyer
made some startling statements toward
the close of his. testimony. He was asked
if the contributions of the trust were given
10 both parties in the same state ana
replied, "Oh' no."
How do you arrange its" he was asked
"Well, New York is Democratic state.
We give to the Democrats, and the Repub-
licans in Massachusetts. Whenever give TO
the minority"
Ibid you contribute to the aIti-snap.
pers?" asked Senator Lodge.
"Oh, no. lam quite sure GU that point,
nothing to the anti snappers." Mr.. Have
meyer could not remember the amounts
contributed by the sugar trust to the dif-
ferent campaign funds but he promised TO
furnish them if he could get them.
Cord Meyer was called after Mr.. Have
meyer finished. He gave tho committee
little or no satisfaction.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The absolute
blockade of the tariff bill in the senate to-
day was in marked contrast with the won
derful progress in the senate yesterday.
Not cog was turned. The entire eight
hours were devoted to set speeches prelim-
mary TO the consideration of the wool
schedule Mr. Quay, who has been auies-
cent for five weeks, resumed the delivery
of his speech which has already occupied
four days, and after speaking four hours
today his manuscript seemed unapprecia-
bly, diminished. He yielded from sheer
exhaustion and Messrs. Pettigrew On. d.
Power, (Mont.): and PETER, Kan
sas), made set speeches against
free wool. Other set speeches will follow
tomorrow but it is probable the actual
consideration of the wool schedule will be
reached before adjournment.
During the lull in the debate today Mr..
Morgan of Alabama moved to lay the
tariff bill on the table. The motion, how
ever. was without special significance and
was defeated by strict party vote.
MIR. Chapman. the Wall street broker
who refused to answer questions, was re-
ported as contumacious to the senate by
She sugar investigation committee. and q
resolution was inLrod uced to bring him to
tie bar OF the senate fur contempt.
Alto O'Clock the senate adjourned.

PlTTsBURG. Pa, June 12.-Unless the
rationa. officers of the Mine Workers
union who made the compromise at Col
umbus yesterday can give satisfactory
reasons for so doing, the miners in the
Pittsburg district will not accept the 60
cent rate and the strike will continue.
Scores Of kilograms, letters and delega-
tons have been pouring in on the district
officers from all parts OF the district de-
nouncing the compromise, and all declare
work shall not ba resamed next week.
President Mcbride has been telegraphed
for and is expected in the district, as the
crisis warrants his immediate presence.
The miners throughout the district are
very pronounced in their denunciation OF
the national officers, and delegates to the
Cleveland conference were instructed to
hold out for the 60 cent rate aud no COM
promise, and they think their delegates
were bulldOZed. With forty-three opera
tors in the districts boiling the conference
and refusing to be governed by any decis-
ion, the miners claim they have no assur-
ance that the 60 cent rate will hold good.
At Mckeesport a meeting was held with
l,OOO striking miners present. Denun-
ciatory speeches were made and a call was
issued for another meeting tomorrow, at
which -, 600 strikers will have representa-
ton. From an officer of the meeting to-
day it was learned that at tomorrow's ses-
sion the association will be directed to
offer an explanation of the settlement in
the face of the charges, and il not satisfac-
tory all the miners in this district will
withdraw.

NEW YORK, June 12-Domino is still
king. The attendance at Morris park TO-
day was large, although the air was sultry
and exertion was anything but pleasant.
The attraction was the time-honored
Withers' stakes for three-year-olds az a
mile with the unbeaten Domino making
his first appearance this season against
Henry of Navarro aud DobDins, two of his
chief competitors as two-year-old, aud
the only one of the three-yexrs-old TO make
the battle OF the season. When the flag
fell Garrison took three lengths the worst
of the start. but got into comfortable
position as soon as they began to climb
the hill Nahma was then in front. with
Dobbins following. Henry Of Navarro next
and Domino rafting along in forth place.
These positions were kept until the head
of the stretch. when Tsral carried Domino
in next the rail and let out a link. Down
the hill the five horses came almost side By
side, with Nahma trine ahead. Here
Mamma weakened and was ont of the race,
all over for all but Domino and Henry of
Navarro at the last sixteenth, and the rid
ers were driving their mounts for all they
were worth; but try as hard as he might,
Garrison could not gain an inch on the
black colt in front of him and the race
was over with Domino a head In front
1t was a grand race and showed at least
one Himyar can stay.

RIGHT TO SHOOT BURGLARS.
Seine Late Court Decisions About the De-
Tense OF Property.

So0e Late Court Decisions About the De.
Tense OF Property.
The right of householder to shoot
at fleeing burglar has been discussed
recently in several newspapers and
legal periodicals.
A correspondent Of the London
Times says he saw burglars escaping
from his house after stealing some
plate, and he fired two shots after
them. Later in the night he met one
of the burglars and secured some of
the stolen silver. He would then have
shot at the burglar running away with
the remaining booty if he had not left
his revolver at home.
The correspondent afterward doubt
ed whether he had the legal right to
use his weapon when the burglar was
running away, and he consulted two
or three judges who were his friends.
He was advised that he might shoot a
burglar fleeing in the dark to prevent
his escape from arrest.
In an English court recently house
holder was tried for assault on the
complaint of self-confessed burglar.
whom he discovered in his kitchen and
whom he shot in the body. The bur-
glar in his testimony appeared to
think that the householder took an
unfair advantage in firing from dark
room into the kitchen, where the thief
was pursuing his occupation by candle
light. The judge, however, directed
an acquittal.
The Pennsylvania supreme court has
reversed the conviction of manslaugh-
ter in the case of a Waynesburg citi-
zen who shot and killed a thief as he
was leaving his stable. The burglar
had stolen part of a set of harness
from the stable on previous night.
and had promised TO deliver the rest Of
it to an intending purchaser, and so
returned to the stable to complete the
theft.
The citizen called on the thief to
stop. and fired shot in the air. The
thief turned and seized the household
er, who then again discharged the re-
volver. inHicting fatal wound.
A Pennsylvania Jury on some pecul-
lar theory convicted the defendant,
bat the supreme court intimated that
he had right to pursue and arrest the
thief.
