tug sustained no damage more serious than
the blowing away the portion Of her upper

SINGLE TAXER IN JAIL,
Arrested in Delaware for Disturb
ing the Peace While Ad.
dressing a Meeting.
Committed to Prison for Thirty Days
Indignant Citizens Will Break
Up the Persecution.

: WILMINGTON, DEL. May 29.-William
Horan, advertising manager OF Justice,
the organ of the single-taxers of Delaware,
and an ardent single-tax orator, is lmpris-
oned in the Kent County Jail at Dover.
He was arrested in that little town on
Wednesday night while addressing. a small
gathering on the single tax. He was
taken before a magistrate and committed
to jail for thirty days for disturbing the
peace.
Friends offered 10 bail him out, but he
refused, claiming that he wanted to be a
martyr to the principle which he holds is
sacred and inspired of God. He will
serve out his sentence.
The arrest of Horan has created con-
siderable Indignation here. Several promi-
nent wealthy citizens have interested
themselves in the matter and have an
nonnced their intention to assist in the
breaking up Of the persecution of single
takers in Delaware. Every Evening, the
organ Of the Democrats here, has refused
the single-taxers recognition for several
months. In to-night's issue, however, ap-
pears a double-leaded editorial in which
the arrest of Horan is denounced as out
rageous as well as foolish and disgrace
to the proud name of Delaware. Horan's
arrest will probably lead to some further
political sensation.

Did Not Threaten to EnpeI the Free ST.
GER Delegates.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2e.-Several
days ago Senstor-elect Money of Missis-
sippi addressed letter to W. F. Harrity
of Pennsylvania, the chairman of the Ma
tlonal Democratic Committee, asking him
if it were true, as reported, that he (Har-
rity) intended to exclude from the rolls of
the National Convention any free silver
delegate who had threatened to bolt. Mr..
Harrity's reply was received to-day and
says in part:
"It is not true that have declared my
intention by the action of the Democratic
National Committee to exclude from the
roll of the Democratic National Conven-
tion any delegate who has expressed a
purpose to bolt if the convention does not
favor in its platform the free and unlimited
coinage or silver and gold at ratio of 16
to 1. In any statement made by me,
either privately or publicly, did not un-
dertake TO speak for the committee, nor
even as an officer thereof. What did saw
was that in my personal judgment no man
ought to enter or be admitted in any
political convention or caucns who is not
prepared to abide by the will of the ma
jority and acquiesce in its decision. And
l further stated that, in my opinion. this
ought to apply with equal force to those
who oppose as to those who favor free and
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver.n

BOSTON, MASS, Nav 29.-The long con-
test OF to-day was characterized by the
most d1sgraceful conduct on the part of
the visitors ever seen here. In the eighth
inning Tebeau deliberately threw the bat

bench called the umpire foul name. He

other players acted in most unbecoming
manner. In the last inning O'Connor and

PASSED BY THE SENATE,
Two House Bills Repeating Ger
tain Sections of the Existing
Tariff Law.
A Private Pension Bill Is Returned
Without the Approval of the
President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-The
Senate to-day passed without amendment
two measures of legislation that had their
origin in the House and that now only
need the signature of the President to be-
come laws. The first was the bill to re-
peal that section of the existing tariff law
which provides for a rebate of the tax paid
on alcohol used in the arts and medical
preparations. In the discussion it was stated
that the Treasury Department had not
been able to establish rules and regulations
TO carry out the section; that rebates had
not been paid and that consequently
claims for restitution are being piled up
in the treasury to the amount of 0,Oo0,-
900 year. The bill as passed also pro-
vides for a commission to consider the
whole question.
The second bill passed by the Senate
also had reference to the tax on spirits,
but its provisions simply were to include
pears, pineapples, oranges, apricots,
berries and prunes in the list of fruits
from which the brandy may be distilled
under existing regulations. The present
law embraces only apples, peaches and
grapes.
The conference report on the Indian
two hours, but no result was reached and
the matter went over till Monday. The
only point of the report debated was the
provision embodied in it, imposing citizen
ship on the Indians of the five civilized
tribes.
The question as to the education Of
Indian children in contract schools was
not at issue, that being point on which
no decision was arrived at in conference.
private pension bill was returned to
the Senate by the President without his
approval, on the ground that the bene-
ficiary (the soldiers mother) was not de-
serving of the pension; that the soldier
was described as a private in the Seventh
New Hampshire Infantry, whereas he had
not served in that regiment at all, but in
the First Heavy Artillery OF New Hamp-
shire. The bill and veto message were re-
ferred to the Committee on Pensions.
The prohibitory bond bill was taken up
as the unfinished business, and its author
Butler of North Carolina, made an argu-
ment in support of it. An agreement was
made that final vote shall be taken upon
it before the adjournment on Tuesday
next.
Mr.. Butler had not concluded his speech
when, at p. NJ, the Senate proceeded to
executive business, and shortly afterward
adjourned until Monday next.

NOT THIS SESSION, COILS.
The Senate Decides Not to Take Up the
Pacific Roads Funding

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2e.-Hun-
tington's attempt to secure consideration
in the Senate for his funding bill at this
session was unsuccessful. Although the
Republican steering committee had by
vote of to decided to recommend its
consideration at this session, the caucus
of Republican Senators this morning de-
cided not to take the bill up.
Senator Perkins was one of those who
vigorously opposed the bill. 1t is under
stood that the Democratic steering COM
mittee of the Senate had also decided not
to recommend the bilPs consideration.
Mr.. Huntington's agents say they will
continue their efforts at the next session.

THEIR MARRIAGE A SECRET.
A PutdtYe Widow Causes CONSERVATION
Among the Heirs of Dead
Duluth millionaire.

CHICAGO, I'LL, May 29.- special
from Duluth, Mimi, says: Miss Kathryn
Weston startled the heirs of Richard
Gray, the millionaire lumberman and cap
italist of this city, who died at the home
of his brother in Boston about a month
ago, by declaring that she and the dead
millionaire were married in Hudson, WIS.,,
six years ago. Gray's wealth was esti-
mated conservatively at 81, 100000.
His death occurred suddenly while he
was on visit to New York State and New
England, and his heirs include some of
the best-known people in Duluth and the
Twin City-nephews and nieces.
The Munger children and Grays and
two brothers have expected that as Gray
died intestate they would be in line for a
windfall.
Miss Weston. however, has disappointed
them. She is q sister-in-law of John G..
Bullitt, formerly attorney for the Northern
Pacific Railroad at st. Paul, but for two
years past resident of Duluth, promi-
nent in his profession and in Democratic
politics. Her family is prominently con-
nected in the Eastern States. She says the
marriage between herself and Gray was
private and has since been kept secret.

FOR a PACIFIC CABLE.
Contract authorized With the american
Company's Promoters.

N0"tTuct authorised nttH tHo A"se' s0%''
Company's Promoters.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2e.-The
House Commerce Committee to-day Or
dered favorable report on bill authoriz-
ing the Postmaster-Generalt to contract with
the Pacific (Scrymser) Cable Company OF
New York for the construction OF cable
between the United States, Hawaii, japan
and China via the Midway Islands. The
bill gives the company a subsidy OF not
exceeding $lOO, ,OoO year for twenty years.
The merits of the Pacific cable bill and
what is known as the Spaulding bill have
been so frequently discussed in the COM
mittee that the consideration OF the sub
lect this morning was comparatively Inn,
tied. Those who favored the Paclhc Dill
did so upon the understanding that 1t Is
an American company; that its terms are
lower than those asked by any OF its
rivals, and that, moreover, it purposes ex-
tending its lines to the Orient at once
The affirmative vote was cast by Bennett
and BARTLETT of New York, Doolittle OF
Washington, Rusk of Maryland, Aldrich
OF Illinois, Elicit of Virginia and Wanger
OF Pennsylvania. Those who voted in
opposition were Hepburn of Iowa, Fletcher
OF Minnesota, Settle of North Carolina,
Joy OF Missouri and Noonan OF Texas.
