MR.. FoRNEY SUGGESTS THE EXTENSION OF MADI-

NJ. NJ Forney, Editor Of THE American En-

Says he Would Support Carlisle if
Nominated.

Covington. April 14-Col. w. @. p.
Breckenridge addressed the Jefferson
club on the life and services of Jefer-
son. and then paid his respect to his
enemies. who he said. bounded him to
defeat in 1894.
Continuing, he said.

ance to the Democratic party Not to
Caesar or to POmpey, not to Augustus
or to Anthony, but to Rome i give to-
night my allegiance Not to Paul or
Apollo. but to the master is due our
veneration."
In speaking Of the currency question
he said ne did not believe that the ra-
ito between silver and gold could be
increased. as it would necessitate
making silver q to I, which would de-
preciate silver certificates over one
third and cause a loss to the treasury
of over one hundred millions. Neither
did he believe that there could be free
and unlimited coinage at is to L. He
believed the treasury department
should coin its silver bullion into dol
lars of the present standard. and thus
relieve the financial stTingency. He
said that President Cleveland and his
administration could have prevented
the financial panic by being more
adrOit with their legislation. He charg-
ed the radical free silverites with stub
bornness and cOunselled compromise.
In closing he said that if Secretary
Carlisle was named by the Democrats
he would accord him the same support
that Kentucky gave to Henry Clay and
John @. Breckenridge.

CURTIS BILL
To Amend the Interstate Com
merce Law
Not Likely to Be Acted On by
This Congress.
1T WAS 'sFORGOTTEN0
BY the Learned and Able Bodied
Salary Drawers,
Who Compose the Commission
and Do Nothing.
1T WAS "FORGOTTEN'
rom Our Special Correspondent.

From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington April 14-There seems
little likelihood that the bill introduced
by Representative Curtis to amend the
Interstate commerce law SO as to pre-
vent the recurrence of extortionate
charges on agricultural products by
the railroads, viii be acted on by this
congress.
1t viii not be Mr.. Curtis fault, how
ever. if this session goes by without
something being done to secure this
needed remedy to the shippers of kan
sas. He has looked after the bill per
sistently and requested the committee
to call it up but the interstate com
merce commission has delayed in an
unaccOuntable manner to give the COM
mittee its opinion on the bill which was
submitted to it for that purpose. and
besides this the chairman of the sub
committee to which the bill was re-
ferred is hostile to any legislation
which would affect the railroads un-
favorably.
When Mr.. Curtis learned that the in
terstate commerce commission had not
given its opinion on the bill which he
had introduced on its recommendation
he at once telephoned the commission
and asked what had been the cause
of the delay. He was informed that
the bill had been forgotten and that it
would be looked UP. Mr.. Curtis said
that he wanted it done as soon as pos
sible as it was a bill which the com
mission itself had suggested to remedy
the high rates charged by the rail-
roads and the members of the commits
sion certainly could not have much i'm
terest in correcting the evils if they
neglected the bill of their own sug-
gestion.
AS soon as the commission gives its
opinion of the bilI-which must be fav-
orable-NIr. Curtis will go before the
house committee on interstate com
merce and have a hearing on the meas
ure- The chairman of the subcommit-
tee which has it in charge, is, as has
been before stated, not in favor of it.
The temper of the other members has
not been ascertained but if they should
both be in favor of it they viii be
sufficient to counterbalance the chair
man.
Senator PETER has a bill identical
with that introduced by Mr.. Curtis,
which he is endeavoring to get through
the senate.
On account of the disposition of the
leaders of the house to hurry UP the
session and touch no business except
the necessary appropriation bills it is
hardly probable that the bill viii be
reached at this session but it will GER
tainly come UP at the short session
which meets in December.

ROPE ABOUT HIS NECK.
a Demented Young Man Makes Sew
eral Attempts to Commit Suicide.

Harvey Bradley the young man who
wandered away from his home at 1147
Lincoln street last night in his night
wear and was found early this morning
at Eighth street and the Santa Fe
railroad in a demented condition, made
several attempts on his own life in the
city prison this morning
He believes his parents are trying to
poison him.
This forenoon he asked to see
priest, and Father Hayden was sent
for. He was with him about five min
utes but the young mans conversation
was entirely uninteligible, and he left.
The young mans father came in soon
after and as he stepped into the wOm-
ans ward saw his son with the ward
clothes line tied about his neck try
ing to tie it to the gas fixture.
Jailer DisbrOW took the rope from
him and in few minutes looked in
again to find that the prisoner had torn
a wide strip of a blanket the full length
and had tied it around his neck and
was trying to fasten it to the gas fix
ture as he had the rope.
The blanket was taken away from
him and on looking in again in rev
moments Mr.. Disbrow found him try
ing to choke himself to death with his
handkerchief.
He had it around his neck and was
pulling on the ends. An almost con-
stant watch was placed on him then
and three or four times he was caught
butting his head against the wall He
would start from across the room and
run as hard as he could against the Op-
posite wall with his head down.
The only damage he did at this was
to knock off a little plastering and
raise a few bumps on his head.
He was finally locked up in a small
cell in the mems ward and just before
noon was taken before Probate Judge
Wood and declared insane and commit
ted to the asylum.
1t has become known that he spent
last night in a barn on the DR. Linn
farm just west of town in his night
clothing and was given the clothing he
had on when found by the officers, by
the neighbors whom he had told he
would go home.

call any time and have to go in all

ing their pay raised to $40 a month
which it is now, and now L want to see
if it cannot be put up to $50. It is a
shame that certain classes of persons
are SO poorly paid. Take these men
