ALLEN ON THE WARPArH.
He Wanted to Whip Senator Hawley
for Criticising His Speech.
From The New York Times

Washington, July 1.-THE populists
were on the rampage yesterday outside
as well as inside the Senate chamber.
At the very time the attenuated PETER
was disturbing the atmosphere Of the
Senate chamber with suggestions for the
abolition of the government and congress,
and advocating a temporiZing course with
the anarchists and car burners at
Chicago, another populist senator, with
infinitely more girth than the Kansas
specimen and greater knowledge Of the
worlds gilded ways, was terrorizing
barkeepers in the vicinity of the Balti-
more and Ohio station and developing
bleodthirsty tendencies in the Maltby an
mex TO the Senate, building occupied by
Senate committees.
II is not strange that the vendors of
pies and spirituous liquors in the neigh
borhood of the Baltimore and Ohio termi-
nus are discussing under their breath the
doings yesterday, which appeared TO them
TO be in accordance with a deep-laid plan
to create in the nations capitol Chicago
outbreak. The populist senator, who GER
tainly was not PETER and who could not
have been Kyle. for the ex-preacher sat
with ashen face listening to MIR. Davis
denunciation of the Kansan at the very
moment the disturbance outside was at
its hight, was man of action Not be-
ing strong enough to Overturn box cars,
he began by Overturnng a table in a US
ually orderly beer saloon, and treated
with true pOpulistlc contempt the expos
tulations of the barkeeper, who now
nurses a swollen arm as a memento of his
struggle TO transfer pair of number
eleven popuhStic feet from a tray of pO-
tato salad and wiener wurstn to the
floor.
strange forgetfulness had come over
this individual when he was asked to-
night to relate his experience with the
giant. He acted like a perfect gentle
man while he was here" this individual
declared 1T was over there, ~ pointing
TO the Maltby, that he had his fun. ="
The fun thus indicated grew out of the
remembrance by the populist that New
England senator whose committee room
is in the Maltby building had recently re-
ferred TO him as an anarchist. IL took
MIN some time TO locate the room of the
senator, and its only occupant when he
entered was the son of an Illinois Judge
This young man now recalls the fact that
before the big populist jumped upon
him he said something about
his intention to "ciean OUT
the offending senator and every one con-
nected with him. The contest was uneven
and the judges son emerged from it with
innumerable bruises The persons whom
he summoned to his aid hastened to the
Senate and reappeared with populist
senator, who was not Mr. PETER This
individual by dint of strong persuasion
managed to get mis- colleague away from
the building and later prevailed upon
him to board a river steamer bound for
Norfolk
The big man has not yet returned, but
there Is a suspicion that when he drops
into his seat in the Senate cham Der again
one of his ruling passions-thaJ OF talk
ing on any and all subjects-win be in
temporary eclipse.

"a Bottle of Wine From Lady"
Really a Giant Powder Bomb.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the PhllaQelphla RECORD.
Chicago, H., July IA story of two
attempts upon the life of Vice President
Wickes of the Pullman company, pub
lished here, has been reduced by Mr..
Wickes himself TO only one attempt, the
narrative of which he to-day gave, as fol-
lows:
There was an attempt upon my life,
but il was not with a dagger. About 3
O'clock 10 the afternoon a man with
rolling walk, like that of sailor, came
to my man and asked for me, saying he
had bottle OF wine for me, sent by q
lady. He said the lady had given him a
quarter to deliver the BOTTLE and he
would get another quarter after deliver
ing it.
My secretary looked at the package,
and then finally opened it. II looked like
corset box. and was wrapped in heavy
paper. In this box was an ordinary green
bottle such as olives come in, about
foot in length.
For a stopper there was a piece of
tissue paper running down through the
bottle wrapped around a lot Of giant
powder, thus making a fuse. The fuse
was held in place with some tar around
the top of the neck of the bottle. The
body was filed half fun of turpentine,
and also contained several cartridges and
some pieces Of broken glass and nails.
If the fuse had been lighted the explosion
of giant powder would have undoubtedly
set the turpentine on fire, and in turn the
cartridges would have exploded.
You can understand that the internal
machine, if you can call it such, was a
rather dangerous affair. had it sent to
the Armour Institute, where one of the
chemistry professors examined it.
After OBTAINING the fellow while we

story that a lady sent him TO me with the
bottle, On the outside of the package
was the inscription, To the Gentleman
