was on party lines, with two exceptions,
the republicans all voted for the bill except
Hartman of Montana, and the democrats
and populists against it, save Newlands
of Nevada; the bill passed repeats the pres
ent tariff law until August !, 1898; it re-
stores GO per cent Of the Mckinley rates
on wool and woolenS, lumber and carpets,
and makes a horizontal increase of the
present rates in all other schedules except
sugar OF 10 per cent; the House then entered
upon the consideration Of the bond bill,

passed, constitute the relief which the re-
publican House of Representatives offers

Larceny Of . Watch.

On the Potomac's Mondays trip down
five dredgers were aboard and one of them
stole watch and chain from passenger.
The thief concealed the watch by sewing
Il up in the seat Of his unmentionables.
The passenger complained TO Capt. Geo.
ghegan of his loss and a search discovered
the culprit and revealed the hiding place
of the watch. Because a trial would en-
tail considerable expense upon the county
and would cause the steamers crew to
lose much time as witnesses. and further
because the culprit said he would rather
go to prison than dredging, Capt Geoghe-
gan persuaded the owner Of the watch not
to have the man arrested.
