Western Australia the greatest suffer-

miles of the coast all the timber, with

Hamilton, Ohio, July 4.-Miss Katie
Rurridge, whose sensational and clan
destine marriage to Thomas r. Milli-
ken, while both the young people
We're visiting at Charlottesville, Ind,
last Tuesday, caused a great stir lin
this city, made most sensational and
startling statement. She says that
young Milliken possesses strong hyp-
motto powers over her, and that she
has no recollection of the marriage
ceremony beyond dim impression Of
ascending the court house steps at
Charlottesville and affixing her sig
nature to some document. She says
that she will never live with him and
that she didn't want to marry him.
Previous to his marriage with her Mil
liken made some queer money moves
at Richmond, Ind, swindling Frank
Grade out Of $50 and doing others for
similar amounts. In this manner he
raised the money to get married on.
Now he Is under arrest at Richmond.
The news Of the marriage Frustrated
Mrs. Burridge, who has been very Ill

Washington. July 3. Reciprocity
and retaliation were the two phases
of the tariff bill to occupy the atten-
ton Of the senate to the exclusion OF
all other subjects. Both provisions
were agreed to, although the debate on
the reciprocity clause was prOtracted
to Q p. M. Shortly before adjourn
ment Mr.. Allison endeavored to se-
cure an agreement on the time for a
final vote, but Mr.. Teller would not
consent to fixing the time until oil
proposed amendments had been SUBJ
Mitted to the senate. AS Mr.. Allison
was not prepared to submit these
amendments he withdrew his request
and the time for the. final vote was
left open, although there is still hope
that it will be reached tomorrow
The retaliatory clause provides that
whenever any country bestows an ex-
port bounty on any article there shnll
be levied in addition to the duties pro-
vided by the act an additional duty
equal to the amount of the bounty.
The clause was agreed to-3333- to 10, the
