WARRINGTON, Feb. 26.--The tariff
crisis In the Senate 'brough another day
of intensely dtsmatio action of inn
petuous debate and of stormy personal
colloquoy. The speech of Senator Car
ter, of Montana, one of the five RepubH-
can Senators who voted against proceed
ing with the tariff bill, was the main
event Of the day. There was added in.
terest In the speech, owing to Mr.. Oar
ter's position sB chairman Of the
Republican national committee.
The Senator used very plain words in
denouncing what he termed the move.
ment to drive him and his associates out
Of the Republican party. This. however,
was but the prelude to more stirring
events. Mr.. Hoar questioned Mr.. Car
ter as to whether ne intended to defeat
any protective tariff bill unless Senators
surrendered their convictions to him,
end whether his construction of the
Minneapolis platform agreed with the
construction given to 1t by President
Harrison.
Mr.. Carter responded with great
vigor that Mr.. Harrison's course had
not been all that WAS desired, but 1t
was az least beacon of hope for the
future. But it was not the construc-
ton applicable to the situation in the
Senate to-day.
Mr.. Gear, of Iowa, sharply oues-
toned Mr.. Carter upon the ciraum-
stances of framing the financial plank
OF tho Minneapolis platform. bringing
out that Senators jones', of Nevada,
and Teller, Of Colorado. had taken part
In Shaping that document.
The references to Mr.. Teller's part In
framing the platform brought him to
his feet with an explanation of what
had been intended and fiery denunoia-
ton OF the bimetallism of Mr. Sherman.
The latter In turn arraigned the dis
honesty of che policy of free silver
which would pay the lsboring man in o
FIFTY cent dollar.
Mr.. Teller said the glorious past of
the Republican party would be oblite.-
ated II It committed the infamy of fol.
lowing she 'fnancial leadership of Mr.
Sherman.
The latter part of the day WAS given
to the Cuban resolutions. Mr.. White, OF
'Cslifornta, arguing that the executive
was the proper branch to grant recog-
milton of belligerenoy.

Imaginary Ailments.

Physicians very often meet with peo.
pie ,who are carrying around imagln-
airy ailments, and who really believe
themselves as badly afflicted as they
assert. Some curious cases have been
noted. A young woman in this city
had been confined to her bed many
months with an illness which wholly
deprived her Of the use Of her lower
limbs. The doctor who attended her
failed to discover the nature Sf her
affection, which might ordinarily have
been attributed to several causes. Ex-
animation, however, revealed nothing
calculated to throw light on the mat
ter, and the doctor, after patient and
exhaustive analysis and attention,
came to the conclusion that the illness
was imaginary. Although he discreet
ly kept the opinion to himself. proof
was eventually forthcoming as to the
accuracy Of his view. Being lifted on
the sheets out Of her bed one day,
while the mattress was rearranged,
the young woman surprised her at.
tendants by suddenly jumping from
the couch on which she had been laid,
with loud expression of alarm. It
was discoEered that she had been laid
upon needle-cushion, inadvertently
left on the sofa, and that the sharp
points Of several needles had pressed
violently into her back. The. contre.
temps revealed the fact that she could
sfand easily.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

GOURDAIN IN JAIL.
The Notorious Lottery Shark in a
a New Orleans Cell

New Orleans June 10.-Yesterday
evening Louis A. Gourdain, the motor
ious lottery shark. who was pronounc-
ed insane some days ago by three phys
icians and who recently escaped from
the Louisiana Retreat, was again taken
into custody and lodged in the central
station on the charge Of disturbing the
peace.
The prisoners previous antics on the
public streets and his fight from the
retreat attracted considerable atten-
ton. Last evening a Geographic mes
sage was received at police headQuar-
ters to the effect that Gourdain had
again escaped from the retreat and was
creating considerable excitement on
Camp street. The patrol wagon, with
some officers. was sent out, but in the
meantime Patrolman Smith had taken
charge of the man and escorted him TO
the station. The prisoner. when seen,
and spoken to, acted in a very cool
and collected manner and his CONVEX
sation had tendency to lead a person
to believe that ne was of sound mind
and this he did not forget to state. He
said me was not insane and remembered
everything he said and did. He had
an object in playing off the insane
dodge, but what was his reason for do
ing so he refused to say.

TRIBUNE PLEASED WITH LONG
His Excellent Management Of a Tam
many Election Contest.


From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington, June 10.-COngressman
Long has been highly cOmplimented in
the New York Tribune for his conduct
Of the Walsh Mitchell contested cleo
ton case from New ~ r1 city in which
the Tammany man was unseated. The
Tribune in its report Of the case says;
wv hen Mr. Long Of Kansas who open
ed the debate, had finished his argu-
ment in behalf Of the contestant, little
or nothing more remained TO be said on
that side Of the case. He had already es
taphshed his reputation in the house as
a forcible debater and lawyer whose
analytical ability was Of a high order.
he today exhibited a familiarity with
the election laws and practices in New
Y rk and with Tammany methods which
was surprising revelation to his
friends and which enabled him easily to
confuse and cOnfute Walsh and his aD-
olOgists and defenders, including the
pCndeTOus Mcguire of California who
prOfessed to be juror who knew moth
ing of the case that was on the printed
record, and appeared to know precious
little about that, and the effervescent
and incOnsequental SulzeT, whose elO-
quence famed both himself and the
cause of his client
THE argument which was made
by Mr.. Long in favor of seating the con-
testant did not really need to be for
titled, but it was supplemented by
short and exceedingly strong argu-
ment by Mr.. Taylor of Ohio. who put
the whole matter in nutshell in terms
so plain as not to permit any misun-

TOUR OF MKINLEY.
The Ohio Man viii Likely Make
Speeches IN all the States.

Canton, O., June 1O.-One of the
things that is yet to be decided upon
by Gov. Mckinley is whether he shall
conduct his presidential campaign at
Canton or take a trip through the
country. That matter has not yet been
determined.
AS far as the preference of the gov
ernor is concerned, he would choose to
remain at his home, as Gen. Harrison
did when a candidate, but there is al
ready a very great pressure on him,
and those who are directly in charge
of his political affairs are trying to in
duce him to make a trip through the
country and it is possible that he viii

that if he does undertake a tour it viii

prise in its itinerary every state in the
union, or about every state.
