the settlement. succeeding where all others
failed. He was aided in the work by mem
bers Of the Christian League The basis OF

city. the company and the strikers thousands
of dollars. The loss in fares alone is estl-
mated at S35o,0O0. Apart from the destruc-
ton Of cars and other property there has
been considerable blOodshed, although fortu-
nately no fatal results The business men OF
the city have been the heaviest sufferers.
Today was certainly the most violent since
the struggle began, and for the first time the
police shot to kill. At 10 a. m. tremendous
crowd gathered at Girard avenue, and as the
cars passed, with several policemen aboard
of each, the stones began to fly aud the cars
were completely wrecked. The poilcemen
opened fire. They first fired into the air, and
as the situation became more threatening, one
of them fired his revolver into the crowd.
William 7. Matthews, a striking moturman,
fell with bullet in his head and Samuel
Crossley was shot in the knee. Both are IN
serious condition IN hospital James Hart
net was shot in the arm and slightly injured.
A number of arrests were made. Other riots
of more or less violence occurred in almost
every section of the city.

Children Cry for
Pitchers CastoFia,
GIANT FOR A POLICEMAN.

Several years ago Barnum's circus
had as an attractive feature a "Col-
ossal and magnificent worlds congress
of giants, the BehemothS of the hui
man race, the Brobdingnagians of all
countries gathered into a stupendous
aggregation" One of the members of
the congress was a man named Smith
Cook, who registered feet 10 inches in
his stockings. This giant, says the
Kansas City Star, is now an humble
Kansas City "copper"" by the grace of
Governor Stones puissant board of
police commissioners.
Cook would attract attention any
where. He is lank and lean and af-
fects in the absence of his regularly
ordained uniform, which is now being
constructed, long frock coat, COM
monty called Prince Albert 1t is
said that the day Cook reported for
duty the captain told him to take up
his beat on Broadway. "And where
Broadway" asked Cook.
His first arrest was a small boy, ar
rested for crap shooting or throwing
stones, or something of the sort. When
Cook appeared with his prisoner in
court the next morning the judge near
ly fell off the bench. Cook lowered
nearly seven feet in the air, and his
prisoner groveled four feet beneath
him. The cause for merriment, how
ever, was the fact that the small Of
fender was securely handcuffed.

Congressman Loren Fletcher last
night received an imperative mes
sage demanding his presence in Wash
ington by Thursday night. When
Congressman Fletcher returned to
Minneapolis 1t was with the intention
of eating his Christmas and possibly
his New Years dinner there. The re-
quest to return was made on the
ground that important subjects were
about to be considered.
On receipt of this telegram, Uncle
Loren Immediately laid his plans to
return this evening. When asked
last night what caused the urgent
call to return, Mr.. Fletcher said:
The question of meeting the gov
ernmental expenses and keeping the
gold reserve up to the limit is the
important subject just at present. l
think this will probably be taken up
at once, as soon as a quorum is
present and congress can do buSi-
ness
Congressman Fletcher is very anX-
ious to be on the scene and learn the
exact condition of affairs.

WITH A DEAD BODY.
Thrilling Experience I'm the Cabin
of an Overturned SIoop.

Thrilling Experience I'm the Cabin
of an Overturned SIoop.
New York Sun.
The death a; few days ago Of
Charles Fisher, a pioneer resident of
Pacific county, Oregon, recalls a
thrilling experience and remarkable
escape from death which he had
twenty-five years ago, when he was
for fourteen hours confined in the
hold of a capsized sloop, the last few
hours of the time with the dead
body of a companion floating about
in the narrow prison with him.
With a companion Mr.. Fisher start
ed in an oyster sloop across Willapa
bay from Astoria Mr.. Fisher went
below soon after nightfal1, and
turned into his bunk for the night.
His companion was steering. A sud-
den squall blew up and upset the
sloop. The man who was steering
jumped below as the sloop went over.
There was enough air imprisoned in
the little cabin to keep the sloop
af1oat, and Mr.. Fisher and his ship
mate stood on the roof of the cabin,
now underneath them, and held their
heads above water in the space be-
tween the upturned bottom Of the
boat and the water. They had hard
work to thus keep their heads above
water, because of the buffeting the
boat received, and they were con-
stantly thrown off their feet.
Finally, after several hours, Mr..
Fishers companion could keep his
place no longer, and slipped under
the water. Mr. Fisher brought him
up and held his head in the now
badly fouled air for a considerable
time, but was obliged to let him go.
After nearly fourteen hous' Of buff
feting and drifting the boat went
ashore. The mast broke off, and as
huge wave cast the sloop up on
the beach the mast stuck in the sand
and held the boat there.
When the tide receded the boat
was left high and dry on the beach,
but still upside down and buried suf-
ficiently deep in the sand to render
it impossible for Mr.. Fisher to get
out. His tools were all gone, but
heavy piece of oak, which he had
picked up out of the water soon aft
er leaving Astoria, remained in the
cabin. With this he managed to
break a hole through the bottom Of
the boat, but insufficiently large, so
that in making his way out he was
badly lacerated all down one side Of
his body. 1t was some time before
he was able to make his way to the
nearest house, and he was a long
time recovering from his experience.

A man with tail is one Of the latest
discoveries reported by an explorer.
Paul d'Enjoy, an official of France in
French Cochin China, has had the felic-
ity of making this addition to knowl-
edge. He met the gentleman with the
caudal appendage among the wild Moi
who live in the north of French Cochin
China, and his discovery is reported in

Society. $50

angle, and was open at each end. 'czs
Some children who were playing out
white man and his party, and at once
some Withholding creatures rushed out
of the tunnel and Scampered away into
the woods like so many monkeys. The

When anything is going wrong IN
the body we are always warned.
If 1t is our lungs, it is by pain and
cough.
If it is our brain, it is by dullness
and headache. -,
If it is our heart, it is by faint spells
or palpitation.
If it is our nerves, 1t is by neuralgia. =.
Pain, cough, headach, palpitation ara
neuralgia are not diseases. They are
simply symptoms or signs that some
thing is wrong.
To stop those danger signals we
must right the wrong that is causing
them. We cannot do so by smotheriag
them under plasters or deadening
them with opiates.
Kidney disease has but few symp-
toms, but those symptoms are of the
utmost Importance and must not be
neglected.
A little headache, little dizziness,
darkness and puffiness under the eyes,
irregular action of the bowels, bad
eruption and pimples on the skin, pale
or sallow complexion, specks before
the eyes, coldness of the feet and legs,
dimness of vision, all--point to either
disease or inactivity of the Kidneys. !

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-T'he Re-

are to be deprived of their holiday
recess, have determined to proceed
with the work of. the session, and
have ordered committees TO immedi

sonable time. Chairman Hit, of for
eign affairs, which seems likely to bs
the most important house committee
of this congress next to the two
mentioned, says that he will call
meeting for an early day. There are
several International questions that
the committee will soon have to deal
with, and some IF them are so con-
Spicuous in interest that its action
will prove of great Importance. Fore.
most among these is the movement by
the Cuban insurgents and theiI
American supporters 70 =o-cure recog-
milton of their states as belligerents.
Even if it was disposed to postpone
their delicate question-and nc such
disposition lis manifested-it would
be difficult to ignore it for several
reasons, and a great number of peti<
tions have already been referred to
the committee. Chairman Hit says
that this will be one of the first mat
ters to be taken up. There is talk,
which has not crystalliZed into any
definite movement, that the most
feasible plan of dealing with 'tha
question would be to appoint dele,
CATION to investigate and report on
the standing of the revolutionists. In
addition to Cuba and Venezuela, tho
Waller case and the alleged attempt
of Great Britain to advance its Alas
kan boundary will have 10 be cons

for information have been introduced

olutions which call for consideration

PETTIGREw FULL OF FIGHT.
The South Dakota Senator Would
Stand No Trifing.

NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator R. F.
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who is
stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
said today: England will probably
bribe the way with the Venezuelans
to a settlement of the boundary dis
pute. And once the Venezuelans agree
with the English about the line, then
what we have done in the matter will
seem more or less ridiculous. 1t will
make a laughing stock of us. Why,
England could invest a half million or
so of dollars in Venezuela, in the way
of bribery or purchase money, and soon
settle the dispute in regard to the
boundary line. This is n ore probable
than war with us. f and has
much to lose by going to war with us,
and 1 believe she will hesitate a long
time before she dobs go. OF all the
countries in the world, England is the
breatest bully and the most domineer-
ing, arrogant and oppressive. With
great and feroc:cus celerity they
swoop down upon African tribes and
weak, semi-barbarous people, slaught-
ering and sweeping them from the face
of the earth. They blow Sepoys from

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-The World on
Sunday sent to those leaders of church and
state in Great Britain whose fame is best
known in this country and whose word as to
the actual state of British sentiment would
carry the most weight, brief cablegrams ask
ing for expressions of their feeling as to the
existing difficulty between the two countries
Some of the replies follow:
EDINBURGH, Dec. 23.-I can only reply
that absolutely disbelieve in the possibility
of war between the United States and Great
Britain on such an issue as this. for it would
be the greatest crime on record. History
would have to relate that the two mighty ma
tions of the Anglo-Saxon race, at time
when they appeared to be able To overshad
ow the world in best interests of Christianity
and civilization, preferred to cut each 9TH
er's throats about frontier squabble in
South American republic. The proposition
only requires to be stated to demonstrate its
absiIrdity. All that is wanted is a level

ernments / congratulate you on the good

Even unto Death the Confederate
Boy Was Faithful.
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The Confederate veteran is engaged
In a noble work in it's effort to have a
monument erected to the young hero,
Sam Davis, who died the death of a
spy rather than betray a secret that
would have saved his life, but doomed
another to the same death. Sam Davis
was a special agent for Gen. Bragg,
and he had obtained valuable informa-
ton given him in confidence, an on
the promise that he would never betray
the source Of his information. He was
not spy, for we believe he wore his
Confederate gray when captured; but
the papers on his person showed that
he had from some one obtained secret
information. His life and a safe escort
into the Confederate lines were prom
ised to him, If he would give the name
of the informer, but he chose to die
instead. He was but a boy, and the
temptation must have been powerful.
But he was a hero. No marble shaft
or statue in bronze towers over the
dust of a nobler life than that of this
fair-haired STRIPPING who kept his faith
and his honor, and died rather than
break a promise.
