Senator Gray also had a CONVEX
sation with the district attorney
with refence to the indictment of
Broker Chapman. The district at
torney is proceeding with much
caution with the work, and he has
found that the resolution under
which the investigating committee
is proceeding is very unsatisfactory
for purposes of prosecution of the
witnesses, as it is neither very clear
nor very specific. The Chapman
case is considered the strongest of
those presented to the grand jury,
and the district attorney on this
account proceeded to put it ahead
and virtually to make it test
case. The Edwards and Shriver
cases therefore will be allowed to
remain Enacted upon until it can
be shown what can be done in the
Chapman case. This case will also
take precedence over the Have
meyer, Searls and Mccartney
cases, which the vice-president
probably will certify to the district
attorney.

POPULIsTs IN CONGRESS.
The Wild Missionaries of Reform in
Reality are Reckless
Spendthrifts.

The Kaufman County Sun" of
Kaufman, Texas, is responsible for
the following timely and truthful
article:
"Our third party friends talk a
great deal about government ex-
trayagance and favoritism, yet
their representatives in Congress
are introducing all sorts of bills for
extravagant appropriations to spe-
cial classes. Senator PETER now has
a bill before the senate asking an
appropriation of 500, 900, 900 for the
paupers of the United States, which,
according to statistics, would be
$1,000 each for every pauper in the
land If such legislation could be
secured what an inducement it
would be to pauperism If such
men as PETER had control of this
government they would bankrupt it
in twenty-four hours, Not many
months ago this man introduced a
bill to loan the farmers of Indiana
one hundred million dollars, and to-
day he, with his colleague, Senator
Allen, of Nebraska, oppose the pas
sage of the Wilson Bill because it
takes the protective tariff off the
sugar beet industry of Kansas. In
the house of congress not many
months ago out of ten third party
members seven voted to increase the
pensions of federal soldiers one hun
bred and ten million dollars, and just
the other day Congressman Davis a
populist of Kansas, introduced bill
in congress asking an appropriation
of fifty million dollars for Coxey's
army of tramps, yet these are the
fellows who claim to be opposed to
all class legislation, and to extrava-
gance in government. They are the
fellows who holler themselves hoarse
about the tax-burdened people, and
yet they seek to fasten upon them
greater burdens by giving to certain
classes and interests hundreds OF
millions of dollars. Such shameful
mockery of true economy and reform
should be frowned down by every
man who loves honesty and consis-
tency in all men.

SENATE INVESTIGATIONS.

Washington news discloses the
fact that the conclusions reached
by the grand jury in the cases Of
the recalcitrant witnesses before the
Senate sugar trust investigation
committee will not be officially an
nounced before the middle of this
week, if then, the jury evidently
having some reluctance to act.
A short session was held Satur.
day, with only one witness present,
Senator Gray, chairman of the in
vestigating committee, who testi-
fed to the action of Broker Chap
man of New York, when he was
called before the committee, The
senator dwelt ON refusals to reply
TO the Senatorial queries and sub
mitted to an examination on this
point by the members of the jury.
He pointed out the illegallty OF the
actions Of the witnesses and cited
the law bearing ON the case. He
also discussed the alleged injurious
effect of sustaining the contumac-
ious conduct Of Messrs Edwards,
Shriver and Chapman. His testi-
mony was very brief, as the session
of the jury continued less than an
hour. At noon the jury adjourned

RESOURCES OF ARKANSAS.

In recent letter to the Atlanta
Constitution, Col. l. w. Avery, who
visited our city last week, in the in
terest of the Cotton States EXPOSE
ton, had the following kind and
complimentary words to say of Ark
ansas and her Capital city;
OF Little Rock and Arkansas, to
my words of administration | must
add surprise. The state is remark
able The common idea of it is
mainly swamp, 1t is one of the best
endowed states by nature in the
union, Let me give you an idea
of its native influence, OF its 80,
500, 900 acres, 2S, 100000 are arabic,
with the least share of waste land
of any, 10000, 900 are in cultivation,
Is, 900, 600 are magni6cently timber
ed, 100000 are alluvial farm,
9 1000, 900 are great fruit lands; T.
900, 900 have mineral, iron, manga
nese, etc; and 100000 have mar
BILE and other fine stone quarries
and claybeds, while 4,65O,OOO acres
are splendid coal beds.
Arkansas Apples have whipped
out the continent from Boston to
New Orleans and California and

the Chicago Worlds fair, and she
ships immense, luscious strawber-
ries by the train load. The rooms
of Mr.. Vincenheller, the thorough
going commissioner of mines, man
ufactures and agriculture, are a
revelation Of imperial Arkansas
fruit, and an exhibit is promised at
our exposition The state ships
out 500,0O0,000 and over feet of
yellow pine alone, besides vast lots
of hardwoods; 100000 tons of coal
yearly, and her zinc ores beat the
world. Arkansas is one of the best
cotton states of this continent.
Little Rock is the typical capital
of this rare state, pretty well near
the center on the Arkansas river;
great railway lines run out from
her healthy location; large railroad
shops there work 800 hands; cleo
trio street car lines running in sew
en- directions, electric lights, turn
pixies into the country, fine state
and national public buildings, an
army post, splendid water works,
with $1,000, 900 gallons daily, and
full quota growing of manufactur-
ing establishments, including four
large cotton oil mills and the Thorn
as factory, whose proprietor invent
ed and makes the cotton seed de-
Inter, which takes every particle
of lint from the cotton seed and
adds double its value to feed for
shipment to foreign countries-a
notable invention. n

Worn out in Harness

In the harness Of every day bust
ness work men and women wear out
prematurely. For some of us it is
not easy, for others again, it is i'm
possible to get out of harness. 1t
is the inhexible yoke, the strongly
forged unbreakable shackle of inn
perative servitude needful to our
selves and those most dear to us.
The weight of it often bows many
of us into the grave before
our time, but it is undoubtedly true
that there is means of rendering
the burden less onerous, and of nit
igating the ailments that unremit-
ting toil-especially of sendentary
kind-has a tendency to produce.
Over worked clerks in counting
houses, mill operatives, book keep
ers, type writer's and others testify
to the reviving, restorative effects
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
it's power of renewing physical and
mental energy when overtasked
and on the wane. Dyspepsia, fail
ing vigor, rheumatic, bowel and
kidney complaints yield to this
benefcient medicine, which is a
preventive of malaria and counter
acts the effects of exposure in in
clement weather.

CARNOT AssASsINATED.
President of the French Republic
Murdered by an Italian
Anarchist.


Murdered by an Italian
Anarchist
LYONS, June 24,-The most in
tense excitement has been caused
everywhere in France by what will
probably prove a successful at
tempt to assassinate President
Carnot.
The President was visiting Lyons
in connection with the Interna-
tional Exhibition Upon his ar
rival there he was rendered a re-
ception at the Prefecture, after
which he visited the exhibition,
After spending some time at the
exhibition he proceeded to the
Palais de Commerce, where a ban
quet was given in his honor. At
625 o'clock tonight President Car
not started for the theatre where
a gala performance was to be given
because of his presence in the city.
Several carriages were in the pro
cession, the first one being occupied
by the President
NJ. Carnot's carriage was driven
slowly along in front of the Palace
of Commerce, and then turned into
Rue de La Republique, still follow
ing the facade of the Palais when
half way down the street, which
was lined with enthusiastic crowds
of people who we're loudly cheering,
a man rushed out of the crowd and
sprang upon the steps of the Presi-
dents landau Just at that mo-
ment M. Carnot was waving his
right hand, and saluting with his
hat in his left hand in response to
the ovation that was being given
to him by the crowd The people
close to the carriage saw that the
man standing on the step had a
knife in his hand BY the glare Of
the electric lights, they saw the
bright blade CLEAN in the air as the
assassin's arm descended and then
President Carnot was seen to fall
back in his seat his face deathly
pale. One of his hands was pressed
over his heart where the steel had
entered the body. Fortunately the
assassin was prevented from deal
ing another murderous thrust, by
the strong arm of the Project of
Lyons, NJ. RIVAL, who was seated
by the President in the carriage,
and who struck the murderous
wretch full in the face, telling him
to the earth, where he was instant
ly seized by the maddened populace,
and but for prompt police inter
ference, would have been torn limb
from limb. The wounded President
was quickly removed to the pre-
lecture, where the ablest surgical
assistance procurable was summon
ed, and every possible effort made
to avert the doom, so clearly inn
pending, but to no avail, The
wounded man regained conscious
ness under the pain inflicted by the
surgeon, in probing the wound, and
retained full possession of his men
tai faculties to the end, which came
rapidly and at 1870 a. m, the great
statesman, and official head of the
French Nation, breathed his last.
The news was instantly conveyed
to Paris, and officially announced
amid universal expressions Of sor-
row and regret The assassin af-
ter a desperate struggle, between
the officers and populace, was con-
veyed to prison, where he is under
heavy guard. The name of the
murderer is Santo, his age not over
% or "A years, He is an Italian,
and little known, even among his
own class. The thirst for blood is
still strong among the outraged
people and Santos life may pay the
| forfeit at anV hour.

THE HATCH BILL PASSED.

In accordance with the agree
ment, previously made, the House,
on Saturday took up the Hatch
anti-option bill for final considera-
ton, and, after brief discussion the
bill was passed on vote of 100
to 81. The bill as passed is regard
ed as a perfectly harmless measure,
it's CLAWS" having been clipped by
numerous amendments Indeed the
usefulness of the measure is practi-
cally gone, having been offered up
on the altar of Congressional con-
servatism. Thus another origi-
nally great and good measure has
been sacrificed and the result, even
though the bill should pass by the
Senate, without the accustomed
delay INDUCED in by that body, can
not possibly fulfil the expectation
of the friends of the original meas
ure. While this is all true, yet Con
gress under existing circumstances
deserves some credit for having
passed the measure at all, consid-
ering the long and stubborn resis-
lance which has developed toward
its passage, at every stage of the
proceeding A glance at the vote
on the bill shows il to have beer
passed without resort to party lines
the 100 votes in its favor being
composed of SO Democrats, forty
seven Republicans and ten Popu
lists.

able irritation is manifest among nav
Al oIncers because OF the determination
OF Secretary Herbert not to send any
OF them To report upon the move
ments of vessels in the war between
China and Japan lest they should be
injured. They point To the fact that
this Is the first opportunity that the
world has had to- compare the merits
OF modern-built war ships with those
OF older types. Every officer is anx-
lous To hear the details of the recent
battle at sea. In such matters, how
ever, they argue that the official re-
ports on both sides are likely to be
partial, and il is only from a disinter-
ested party that the truth is to be OBJ
tanned.
So far as the danger is concerned,
naval officers say that they entered
the navy with the understanding that
their lives should be sacrificed, il nee
essary, in behalf of their country or
the service. 1t makes no difference
where the danger may lie, whether
aboard an American vessel or one be
longing to another nation. 1t is as
serted that IL the Department should
call for volunteers to go to the seat of
war and serve aboard ships of the
contending fleets, n hundred officers
would promptly tender their services
IN order to escape the monotony OF life
as il is just now in the American navy.
Tremendous pressure is being brought
to bear on the Secretary of the Navy
to induce him to reconsider his deter
mination.

The Silver Question.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-The mem
bers of the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee are far from be-
ing as confident of the outcome of the
November elections as they were three
weeks ago. In the first place they
were unable to see just where the
Congressional gains in the South that
they have counted on so much are
coming from. Then the split in the
Washington State Convention over
the silver question has greatly discour-
aged them, for it not only promises to
cost the party the two Congressman
from that State, but also the vacant
United States Senatorship. This same
silver question is playing havoc with
the Republicans in other Western
States and they gloomily acknowl-
edge that the prospects of securing
control of the next House are
far from brilliant. The Democrats on
the other hand are greatly cheered
over the political changes in the West
and South during the past week and
express the utmost confidence in their
ability to continue in control in both
branches of Congress.

started in the dock below the Pacific

flames to the elevator itself. The
flames shot into the air 200 feet,
making a beautiful sight in the
twilight. The elevator contained
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat.
