SENATOR QUAYS VIEWS.

He Declares There Must Be Less Business
and More People in Politics.
WASHINGTON, Dec 9--The atten ton
of Senator Quay having been called to
the interview of Thomas Dolan upon
the connection of business men with
politics, pu blished in Philadelphia. said:
am opposed to the entire scheme of the Ma
tional Business Mems league disclosed by
Mr.. Do.an. Its basic theory is that organized
wealth shall dictate high office and take
possession of the government 1t will be met
stubbornly and overthrow The promoters of
this league invoke class against the masses
and all other classes. No league of BUSH
men, other men, based
upon wealth, other foundation. can erect a
government class in this country. In the
United States senate We have millionaireS
and business men enough to serve all legiti-
mate purposes. Senators are needed who have
no specialties, but who will act for the inter-
ests of the country in gross without special af-
fnities- The people most deserving of repre-
sentation and most in need of legislative protec-
tion are the farmers, the small Storekeep erS the
artisans and the laborerS, and L stand by
them and against this So-called league.
I do not believe that ten per cent of
the business men of the country Sympa-
thizes with the league. There must be
less business and more people in politics,
else the republic and the country will go
to wreck. The business issues are making our
politics sordid and corrupt. The tremendous
sums of money furnished by business men,
reluctantly in most instances, polluting
the well-springs of our national being.

Fooled in Attempt to Murder His Sweet
heart He Tries to Kill Her Family.
SCHUYLER, Neb.. Dec. 9.-As a result

ing a bottle with strychnine, with
which it is supposed he intended to
commit suicide. As he walked into
the room he fred at Christina Closing.
Christina quickly stopped and the ball

were fired at her but without effect.
Diedrick Closing, her 21-year-old
brother, sprang at the man and was in
stantly killed Christmas cries to her
ia Their awakened him from his sleep,
but during this short time Destefsef
had attacked Mrs Closing and knocked
her to the floor, having fired at her
the remaining shot in the revolver as
she lay there, but without effect, and
striking her with the butt of the re-
volver. Destefsef seemed not intent
upon making his escape. but was as
saulted by Closing, who tried to brain
him with a shotgun. Destefsef caught
hold of the gun and in the struggle
the lever was unlocked and the gun
came in two, Destefsef holding the
barrels and Closing the stock. The
barrels at once began to descend with
rapidity and violence upon the head
and shoulders of Closing, and he was
rendered unconscious The murderer
then escaped.

in order to demonstrate the advan tages
of the most improved methods of soil

and Kansas to new efforts in this di-

average cost of Sill. 60 per man. Appli-
cations for admission are more nu-
merous than ever before. Greater num-

Silver Republican Senators Absent Them
selves from the Party's Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The most
noticeable feature of the republican
senate caucus, which assembled yes
terday, was the absence of the men
who had bolted the nomination of Nc
Kinley because of the gold standard
platform These who were absent on
this account were Senator Dubois, Pet
tigrew, Mantle, Cannon, Squire and
Teller. All of these except Senator
Teller were in the city and could have
attended if they had been SO disposed.
Senator Dubois also sent in his resig-
nation secretary of the caucus and
as a mem Der of the steering commit
tee.
The Dingley tariff bill was referred
to the steering committee, with in
strnctions to investigate as to the like
lihood of getting the bill through
and to devise a means to that end if
possible Senator Gear brought up the
Pacific railroad question. as did Sena-
tor Lodge the immigration bill The
Pacific road bill was referred to the
steering committee, but, after Mr..
Lodge had explained the status of the
immigration bill, the caucus decided
to stand by that as party measure
and to press it for early consideration.
The caucus also decided for an in
ternationa1 agreement on silver by
agreeing to the following resolution by
| Senator Walcott:
Resolved, That a special committee Of five
| members of this caucus be appointed to recon-
| mend some plan whereby legislation may be
had in this session of congress looking to an
international conference with the leading COM
| mercial nations of the world for the promotion
| of bimetallism-
| The action of the caucus in referring
the Dingley tariff bill to its steering
committee and the circumstances
under which this action was
taken are accepted in the senate
as practically the end of the agita-
| ton in the interests of the measure.
The debate in the caucus developed
| that there were wide differences as to
the advisa bility of attempting to pass
the bill, even among the repu blicans
and the opinion was expressed by some
who were on the inside that fully one
third of the repu blican senators, not
including the silver boilers, were an
ltagonistic to the bill

A wAsrE-sasker STORY.

Brilliant Act of the Editor of an English

The editor of popular weekly w as

six complete stories for publication, he

On leaving late at night he
forgot to change their position and
when the charwoman came the next
morning she swept them up with the
other litter and put them in the DUST
bin. The same morning the dustman
came round and the paper, including
the editors priceless stories, was
placed in large sacks and sent off for

manuscripts may be imagined, but he

chartered a hanson and taking
two assistants with him set off for the
Salvation army quarters. It was, of
course impossible for the authorities
| there to tell him which bag contained
the litter. The huge sacks, forty in
number, which had been collected dur
| ing the morning, were without any
mark of identity and it was at once ap-
| parent that if the manuscripts were to
be recovered it would be necessary to
search the entire litter. Undismayed
at the prospect. the editor and his as
sistants took off their coats and went
to work. After many hours of weary
search five out of six were ultimately
recovered. The last, and according to
the editor, the most priceless, evaded
all search. but triumphant at the re-
suit of the days labor, the editor and
his assistants returned to the office and
the manuscripts were forthwith handed
to the waiting printers.
