and the heroism of several officers and
troops in risking their lives to save COM
rades has aroused much enthusiasm
here and this feeling will increase when
it becomes more generally known that
half of the number of wounded received
their injuries while assisting wounded
companions in arms. An officer was
killed after giving his horse to wound
ed friend.
The news from Egypt shows that the
dervisheS along the Nile are unusually
inactive. 1t was thought that they
would have already attacked the lines.
but apparently they are waiting for the
khalifa's order or preparing a COM
bined attack upon the Anglo Egyptian
forces.
There is no let up in the work of for
warding ammunition and supplies to

ity is witnessed on all sides.
A special fleet of light draught steam

All signs point to revival of the
European war scare with renewed force
after the fetes attending the coronation
of the czar are over. Another coup
d'etat is believed to be preparing in
Bulgaria, and by general consent the
intention of taking the initiative is as
cribed to Russia. Hence the undoubted
anxiety in England to get the Venezue-
Ian question settled before the conti-
mental complications begin.
The under secretary of state for for
eign affairs. Mr.. George N. Curzon, is to
make a further statement in the house
of commons on Monday regarding the
progress of the negotiations with the
United States on the subject of Ven
ezuela.
In the meanwhile the Times editorial
ly reflects the government view. Since
a plan for general arbitration has been
proposed in England, it is considered in
Washington that the proposals for ar
bitrating the Venezuelan frontier dis
pute We're merged in it.
The Times says: 1T is assumed that
the marquis of Salisbury rejected the
Washington proposals in regard to Ven
ezuela. The marquis of Salisbury GER
tainly did not accept the proposals as
they stood, but it was not imagined
that the action taken in regard to them
must positively be regarded as rejec-
ton. The difficulty was in regard to the
definition of settled districts and the
marquis of Salisbury's efforts to protect
British subjects did not promise to be
successful, and accordingly he attempt
ed to solve the problem of general arbi-
tration."
The Times statement that the Uruan
incident is settled is classed as being
premature, although it is added there
is every prospect of it's ultimate satis-
factory settlement.

RUN DOWN BY A BUGGY
An Elderly Lady Sustains Painful Injuries on
Spring Strset

While the streets were crowded with
all kinds of vehicles late yesterday after
noon an old lady named Mrs. Servis
was run down and seriously injured by
q buggy at the corner of Spring and
the rig and seemed unable to manage
their animal, which turned and started
up toward Franklin street, nearly up
setting the buggy. Mrs. Servis was just
crossing the street intersection, and was
knocked down and trampled on by the
horse, and run over by the wheels OF
the vehicle.
The occupants of the buggy got their
horse under partial control half block
up Spring street and made an attempt
to turn around to ascertain what harm
had been done. The street was so crowd
ed and their horse so fractions that this
could not be done. Mrs. ServiS was
picked up and first carried to drug
store, but later on was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where Police Surgeon
Bryant attended her
over the left eye was large lump
and the optic was discolored probably
caused by kick from the horses hoofs.
On the head was severe scalp wound
which bled profusely. The left hand
had a bad cash, requiring several
stitches to close, and finally one of the
kneecaps was dislocated and bruised.
After having her injuries dressed Mrs.
SerVis was conveyed to her home. While
her wounds are painful, they are not
dangerous, but will conf1ne her to the
house for some time.

Tariff Question Comes Up in
the Senate
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL PASSED
A Revenue Cutter Authorized for the
Pacific Coast
The Pickier General Pension Bill Is Con-
sidered In the House. But No Ae.
tion Is Taken
A associated Press snecial Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
The tariff question made it's appear
ance unexpectedly in the senate today,
and for time it looked as though the
routine of considering appropriation
bills would give way to a general tariff
debate.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was completed and passed during the
day. AS it passed the house it carried
about $50 900, 900. as reported to the SEN
ate it reached SS5,00O,0O0 and with that
added today the total was raised to
$37, 900, 600.
Some time was consumed drumming
up quorum. Lodge secured the adop-
ton of a resolution asking the postmas-
ter general to take steps for eXpediting
the distribution of seeds. The resolu-
ton seeks to overcome the congestion
in the Washington postoffice, owing to
the pressure of seed shipments, the
number of seed packages received being
so great as to block the passageways
and Obstruct business.
Sherman again sought to proceed with
the Dill concerning the tax on fruit
brandies, to which the finance commit
tee had offered an amendment repeal
ing the tax on alcohol used in arts Pef-
fer objected. ThereupOn Sherman
moved to take up the bill and a test vote
was in prospect. Chandler again urged
that Sherman'S course invited discus
sion of the entire tariff question: the
subject of which was as dead as julius
Caesar. With the tariff debate inau-
gurated, other pressing subjects would
be crowded out, said Chandler. Sher-
man responded that there was no pur-
pose to precipitate the whole tariff
question, and explained that millions
were lost by failure to correct errors of
the present law.
Platt of Connecticut opposed going on
with the bill and added: "If we are to
enter upon correction of tariff mis-
takes, then / think we should correct the
greatest mistake of all-the Wilson bill
by repeating it."
With the repeal of that law the Nc
kinley law would be revived" said
Platt.
And then we would have less revenue
instead OF more" interjected Gray,
Democrat of Delaware.
