Ard Was Pumped Out.
an entirely innocent use Of paris
green and his inability to speak caused
John Ditmar, deaf mute, of 1856
North Tenth street, Brooklyn, a bad,
surprising and dcmoralizing quarter
Of an hour says the New York Times,
and resulted in the innermost recesses
OF his nature being searched with a
stomach pump engineered by an en-
thusiastic surgeon, and directed by
philanthropic policeman.
Ditmer had been using paris green
to destroy insects on his premises.
When he went on the street he for
got to brush his clothes. As he was
walking on Bedford avenue, Police
man O'Connor saw the poison sprink-
led on the mans waistcoat and coat,
and suspected suicide. He seized Dit
mar by the collar and pointed to the
greenish dust.
The astonished Ditmar began to
work his fingers and spell "bugs"
I0'Connor accepted this demonstration
as an incipient convulsion, and pro-
ceeded to rush his captor to the sta
ton. Ditmar wriggled his fingers
faster, and hung back as best he could.
He also waved his hands about and
made grand hailing signs Of distress
to the general public as he did his in
voluntary canter.
When they reached the station Dit
mar was scared half to death. He was
working both hands and his face and
rolling his eyes. This looked like
more commissions. and a hurry call
was sent for the ambulance. DR..
Reidel of the Eastern District hospital
responded on the run. He went right
IT Ditmar, who was, more indignant
than ever when he found an emetic
forced down his throat, and became
frantic when he was jerked on his
back by squad of policemen and a
stomach pump was introduced into
his system and operated at double
pressure. He foughtmanfully for his
life, but in vain.
He could not understand what was
being done to him onwhat it was be-
ing done for. The surgeon pumped
and the emetic attended to business
faithfully,and Ditmar at last resigned
himself to the new method Of assassin
alton. They got about everything
else except poison out Of him. He
lay back exhausted but continued to
wiggle feeble protests on his fingers.
Doorman Tighe,, who had crowded
into the group to watch the perform
ance, suddenly recognized the sign
language, and shouted:
"Stop the pumpr'
As the surgeon paused Ditmar, feel
ing some cessation of the process of
depletion, sat up and spelled faster.
Then somebody who could read his
fingers interpreted. He was begging
to bespared.
The surgeon packed UP his instru-
ments and left disguised. He was not,
however, 50 much disgusted as was
Ditmar. In fact, the feeling of dis
gust was the only thing Ditmar had
inside of him at that time. The po-
lice gave him strong stimulant, but
he said things on his fingers to O'Con-

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash July 90
The steamer City of Topeka arrived
last night from Alaska. She brings
news that the Clondyke fever is on the
increase at Juneau. Nearly every
able-bodied man there has gone or is
preparing to go to the rich fields.
Authentic reports direct from Dyae
are that there is now as much freight
piled up at the head of the inlet as the
Indians can pack over the divide in
the next Is months. This amount of
freight will be more than doubled
when the steamers Queen and Mexico,
now en- route, arrive. This condition
of affairs practically precludes all pos
sibility of hundreds of the rushers
reaching the mining region this year.
Frank F. Myers, the Juneau pioneer
newspaper man. will leave there in two
weeks for Dawson City, by different
route than by Dyea and over the divide.
He will go by The route followed by
Lieutenant Schwatka, who conducted
an exploring party into the Yukon
valley in 1889. This route starts from
Taku inlet, 80 miles south of Juneau.
From Taku to Lake Teslin the dis
tance is 100 miles, over level prairies,
and the country from Lake Teslin is
open valley through to the Yukon
river by way of the Hootlngua river.
With the aid of pack horses the Taku
route is by far the more preferable. 1t
is probable that O stage line will soon
be operated on this route. Parties
who have oeeu over both routes saw
the walk of l30 miles over level country
is more easily accomplished than that
of Is miles over Chilcat summit.

| WASHINGTON, July 24.-The tariff
bill passed its last Legislative stage at
p. NJ. today, when the senate, by the
decisive vote of 40 to so, agreed to the
conference report on the bill. The an
nouncement was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause by the crowded
chamber. This closed the great labor
for which the 55th congress Assem- bled
| in extraordinary session, and after
stubborn resistance, at times threaten
ing deadlock, the senate concurred
| with the houseoin a resolution for the
final adjournment of the session at 0
o'clock tonight. The presidents mes
sage for currency commission was
received by the house, but the house
bill creating a commission was not
made law. Thus the closing day was
series of momentous events, each of
which alone would have been of ex-
traordiuary interest.
An analysis of the vote on the tariff
conference report shows that the affirm
ative vote was cast by 81 republicans,
one democrat (McEnery), one silver re-
publican Jones, of Nevadal, and one
populist (Stewart.
1he negative vote was cast by 2S
democrats and two populists Harris
and Turner), Teller, silver republican,
and two populists (Allen and Butler)
did not vote. One populist Kyle and
one silver republican (Pettigrew) were
absent without pairs, which was equiv
alent to withholding their votes.
The last step necessary to make the
bill law was enacted at the White
II ouse at 4:30 when the president
affixed his signature. At 8 o'clock
both houses adjourned, and the extra
ordinary session of congress closed.

CLONDYKE OUTRIvALED.
Fabulous Richness of South American
Gold Fields.

Gold Fields.
SAN FRANCISCO, July a4.-Recent
adyices from Peru, which have been
confirmed by C. de Miranda, a petro-
leum magnate now in this city, state
thai the wonderfully rich strikes re-
ported from the Clondyke region have
been totally eclipsed by fabulous dis
coveries of gold in the South Ameri-
can republic. In an interview today
Mr.. Miranda said that there no longer
seemed to be any doubt that the
famous Inoa gold fields, which have
been considered as myths among the
intelligent people of Peru, haye at last
been discovered. The location of the
newly discovered bonanza is in the
departments of Suzco and Puma, in the
eastern border of the country, which
have long been famous for their rich
ness in precious metals. Among the
successful prospectors in the new fields
is Californian named Hardison, who
left San Francisco two years ago in
search of petroleum and penetrated
into the interior. In June last he took
ont OF one of his many claims 279
pounds of gold, and many English
meD are reported to have been equally
lucky.

A Shrewd Portland Business Man Ex
presses His Opinion Freely.
Hon. D. Sails Cohen, one of Port
lands shrewdest and broadest minded
business men, recently returned from
an extended trip in the Eastern states
and in an interview with a Telegram
reporter said:
"The great problem now to be solved
Is the disaster arising from the cen
tralization of trade in the large cities
which is sapping the ambition of the
young business men there.
"MoDopolies and trusts are now
making money faster than ever" says
he, "while those outside of their pales
can hardly make ends meet. But there
is any quantity of money-tons of it
seeking safe investment, which can
not be found anywhere"
"What is your estimate of safe in
vestment, according to the idea of the
Eastern capitalist9" was asked of Mr..
Cohen,
"Where they can get three dollars
gilt-edged security for one.''
"Don't you think that the operation
of a protective tariff law will change
conditions?"
''Not the slightest" emphatically
and decisively answered Mr.. Cohen.
''The tariff is not the potent factor in
the restoration of prosperous state of
affairs as We were always led to be-
lieve. l have discussed the tariff with
quite number of prominent and in
telligent republican manufacturers
and importers, and they are unanimous
in the opinion that no kind of tariff
will cut figure in decimating the ex-
isting distress of the country. Some
even go to the extreme of throwing
the ports wide open to free trade, as
matter of experiment.
"The only thing that strikes me as a
means of taking number of thousands
OF hands out of the field of idleness is
the baroness of the country of manu-
factured goods. Factories will soon
open to supply the demand, and when
the market becomes glutted they will
shut down again. 1t seems to me that
any remedy offered so far is but a
temporary one.
1.-THE Eastern labor muddle Is anoth-
er subject not easily grasped by one
not on the scene. 1t is a menacing
national octopus, invading some of the
soundest intelligence in the country,
and seeking nothing more than fair
chance to subsist,
"One Sunday afternoon l attended
one of those monster labor meetings,
remaining there from to $40 o'clock
in the evening. l listened to men
whose utterances were plethoric with
wise suggestions such as one does not
hear from the political rostrum, and
which felt were spoken for no pur-
pose of demagogism.
Thousands upon thousands of the
most distressed men and women list
ened to them, and while the speakers
had no intention to cast firebrand
into their midst, / dread to contem-
plate the ultimate result. am certain
that we are on the eye Of q social rev.
olution unknown to modern history,
aud which no legislation can thwart'
In truth, fear that we have reached
crisis in the gigantic magnitude of
the distress of our people that no legis-
lation can we'll neutralize."

Seattle, where she will discharge part
of her cargo and take on supplies and
passengers for Alaska. About half o.
her passenger list from this city is

carry 500 passengers from Seattle
when she sails for the North. The

After the preliminary proceedings

slight decrease in the membership
throughout the great reservation,
though in the past great sun one new
tribe has been instituted.
Throughout the United States, how
ever, the past year has been a prosper
GUS one for the order. as the report Of
the great representative shows that
the increase in the order has been the
greatest during any year of the his
tory OF the order, and generally the
organization is in more prosperous
condition than ever before, there hav-
ing been q marked increase both in
the number of tribes and in member
ship throughout the United States.
The report shows that during the past

900 was distributed as relief among
the members, fact which shows that
the principles Of the order, to care for
the afflicted and furnish relief for those
in need, are being practiced through

A suicide at WiIboit Springs.

SALEM, Or, July 26.-The Silverton
stage has just arrived, bringing It'd
ings of a tragedy at Wilhoit springs,
Sunday. Fred Neckerman, Salem
saloonkeeper, shot and killed himself.
There are no particulars. 1t is sup
posed to be case of suicide.
1t was learned later that Necker-
mans wounds were not fatal. 1t is
thought he will recover. The shot
took effect in the feshy part of the
neck. 1t was probably an attempt at
suicide, as the result of liquor.
