The bloodhound was baying furious

ably, skirting the barn. had provoked
his resentment.
Not daring to pursue the subject fur
ther. bathed Burlington's head, but 70
no purpose. The pain waxed fcrces
and fiercer. till the man positively quiv-
cred beneath my touch. The doctor.
foreseeing such n contingency, had sent

watched it take effect. Burlington, be-
meath the influence of the drug, closed
his eyes, ard within five minutes was
peacefully asleep. resumed my place
by his side, and tried to muster my RAM
pant thoughts. Aeolus wrestling with
his turbulent winds had lighter task.
Outside the moon and stars were OBJ
scured by fog, which had rolled in from
the ocean, thick and dank with the
spume of the sea. blotting from my view
the shimmering waters. and banishing
tine grateful breeze. One might scarce
ly believe that one short hour ago the
prospect had been clear-that with the
morning sun these clouds. SO clammily

a footstep, and / sprang from my chair
with a muttered exclamation. Some
one was in the next room!

guished, and 1 found myself in bewil-

Commissioner Calhoun Calls st the White
House and ssss the President.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-W. J. CAL
houn Of illinois, the special commits
doner sent to Cuba BY President Mo.
Kinley, arrived from New York during
the afternoon. He went Immediately
to the state department, where Judge
Day. the assistant secretary Of state,
was awaiting him, and together they
proceeded to the White House. They
were shown into the cabinet room,
where President Mckinley and Judge
Day listened to Mr.. Calhoun's descr1p-
tion Of the situation in the war.rddden
island to the conclusion reached by him.
Judge Day declined to be interviewed
on the subject Of the conference further
than to say it was very interesting. Mr..
Calhoun has an appointment to meet
the president in the morning, when he
will again go over his impressions. To
reporters Mr.. Calhoun talked with less
freedom than characterized his inter.
views while in New York. He com.
planned that some of these had been ex-
aggerated and had made him say what
he had not uttered. The commissioner
carefully refrained from expressing any
opinion as to the probable policy of the
president in acting on the Cuban ques.
ton, declaring that he had been to the
island simply to learn facts and to re.
port what he had seen and heard. This
he had done. II he has formed any
opinion regarding the Ruiz case Mr..
Calhoun politely declined to indicate
what 1t was.

"Third-He was kept inoommunicado
in solitary cell for sl6 hours, in viola
ton Of his treaty rights, which limit
such confinement to ~ hours.
'Fourth-He died from congestion Of
the brain produced by blow on the top
Of the head.
"Nfth-There are two theories con.
nected with the wound on the head.
One that in q state Of mental excite
ment he ran across the cell as described
by one Of the jailers and butted his head
on the door in frantic effort to get out.
Another, that he was struck on the head
with one Of the clubs carried by the
jailers-by the immediate watchman-
who had probably ordered him to cease
his cries for relief and for his chill
dren, and, upon his not doing
SO, struck him with more force
than he intended; or il is possible that
the blow was delivered to make him
confess or give evidence against others.
It is possible he went mad, and many
causes combined to produce such q re-
suit. But whether when bereft Of rea-
son he inflicted the blows which pro-
duced brain congestion, or whether he
died at the hands Of others the fact
remains, his unjust confinement killed
him."

pairing financial measure to be submit
ted to congress next winter. In pur-
suance of this plan he has sent out

chants inviting suggestions for placing

outline the scheme will embrace the
gradual retirement of the greenbacks
and the substitution of national bank
notes therefor; allowing national banks
to issue to the full limit, instead of 50
per cent. as now; reducing the tax On
national bank circulation from 4 per
cent to II of per cent; and limiting tho
denominations of bank notes and al
other paper money to sums o1 80, and
substituting silver for all below 90. ~ u

Republican Senators Caucus ON the Sugar
Duty.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Repub-
ican senatorial caucus voted to stand
together on all schedules in the tariff
bill. The caucus instructed the finance
committee to report new sugar sched-

per pound duty instead of 1875 cents
per pound as provided by the house.
Coarse raw sugars from the Phillip
pine islands and Java are to be ad-
mitted at 1.1O Of q cent less than other
raw sugars.
The abrogation Of the Hawaiian treaty
was discussed, but no conclusion reached
when the caucus adjourned.
The action of Republican senator's in
caucus probably means that the tariff
bill will pass the senate by July 1. Sen
ator German fixes the time for adjourn.
ment as July Is.
Senator Frye asked the caucus to con-
slider the necessity of protecting the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty and made
speech in its behalf. This occurred
early in the proceedings and the Ha
waiian question was apparently los.
sight of in subsequent proceedings over
the main features of the schedule.

and Tea Tax Amendments.

Finance Committee viii Withdraw Beer
and Tea Tax Amendments.
WASHINGTON, June The Repub-
ican members of the finance committee
will withdraw the amendments for an
additional tax on beer and for the duty
of 10 cents a pound on tea. In explana-
ton of this member Of the finance
committee said that the pressure for the
withdrawal of these amendments had
been very great, and that many Repub-
ican senators have made decided stands
against them. The formal action was
not taken, but this determination was
reached. The committee are still in
doubt as to what shall be done with the
increases on tobacco in the internal rev.
enue part of the bill, but there has been
great pressure brought to have these
taxes reduced.
It has been practically decided to
make bank check stamp tax and the
question Of additional revenue by means
Of system Of stamp taxes on beer has
been under consideration. The COM
mittee is considering these questions
and endeavoring to meet them as they
proceed.

that japanese Minister Shimamura has

understood that she is willing to accept
