The principle defense of Sheriff Mar
tins infamous cowardice or unheard-of
brutality, is, "Those shot down were
only foreigners" If Sheriff Martin
had shot down helpless dogs instead of
human beings he would have been
jailed instantly by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It's
a queer world.

OUR GREAT GOVERNOR.

A Republican newspaper on comment
ing on the Governor having already ex-
pended the large contingent fund appro-
priated by the last legislature, says that
the Governor did draw on it pretty heav-
lily, and has no apologies to make for it.
This is the true Republican spirit. They
always waste the peoples money freely
and then have no apologies to make for it.

Governor Atkinson has created another
mild sensation by committing the sentence
of Seymour Gray, who was to have been
hanged for murder on Friday. Gray is q
negro who wilfully and without provoca-
ton murdered John A. Smith in Mellow
ell county about year ago. He was
properly tried. found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged. He escaped from jail
few weeks but was recaptured. Then
Governor Atkinson committed his SEN
tence to life imprisonment, giving as his
reason his belief that Gray had not ex
hibited malice toward his victim. We
shall expect to hear of complete pardon
in a short time.-Shepherdsto Register.
A whole week has elapsed since Cover
nor Atkinson has written a sensational
letter or made a speech. The Governor
must get to advertising himself again, in
some way. Pardoning convicts is not suf-
ticient alone.-Hampshire Review.
When Governor Atkinson retires he can
enjoy the distinction of being the most
abused Governor by his own party, that
ever governed the State.-Martinsburg

L4arrissa, April 14.-Trustworthy re-

The Turks lost 40 men killed.

a strong position in the mountains near
Krania. His force was later attacked
by a Turkish battalion from Velimisti,
but the Turks were repulsed with more
loss. The Greeks then assumed the Of
~fensive, cut up the Turkish detachment,
captured IS mules. a convoy Of provis-
ions and a large quantity Of ammunition
and made prisoners OF is Turks.
After this success the Greeks advanced
to Kipuri, on the road to Gravena,

THEY SUIT HIM.
Bryan Pleased With McKinley's None
tary Commissioners.

Washington. April 14.-Speaking o.
the presidents appointment Of commits.
%sioners to visit foreign countries in the
interest OF International monetary con-
ference, William ]. Bryan today said he
thought the personnel OF the commission
was excellent, 50 far as Mr.. Stevenson
and Mr.. Wolcott were concerned. Mr..
Paine he did not know.
mn. Wolcott's visit abroad last au-
tumn," said he, especially fits him for
service as n Of the commissioners, and
Mr.. S~tevenson's conspicuous position in
the democratic party and the nation
makes his appointment entirely appro-
pirate. The fact that he is a bi-metallist
and actively supported the democratic
party in the demanded Independent ac-
ton by the United States, instead Of be-
ing an argument against him will lend
weight and influence Is one Of the COM
missioners. All Independent bimetal-
that is possible, but do not believe in
waiting for other nations to act. The
six and a half millions who supported
the demand for independent bi-metal-
lism will heartily rejoice if the commits
sion is able to bring about a restoration
of international b~i-metallism. But a
large majority, If not ali Independent BIZ
metallists, regard International BIZ
metallism as a very remote possibility.
II the commissioners fail to secure an
international conference, or If successful
and an International conference does not
secure foreign cooperation for the res
ioration Of bi-metallism, the cause OF
free silver will be stronger in 1900 thar
in 1896, because many who have been
inclined to rely on foreign aid will see
the necessity for self-reliance on the part
of the people Of the United States"

DEMOCRATIC SCRAP.

Washington, D. c., April I.-The
house was in session but 10 minutes TO-
day and then adjourned until Saturday
without %transacting any business. The
session was long enough, however, to
furnish occasion for the display of a di-
vision among the democratic members
which the recent caucus had not been
able to heal. In this division Mr.. Dear
mond Of Missouri, appeared as the lead,
er OF the opposition to the leadership Of
Mr.. Bailey. As soon as the Journal had
been read Mr.. Dingley made q motion
that when the house adjourned 1t be un-
til Saturday. MI. Deamond and Mr..
Simpson Immediately demanded a divi-
sion. The vote or. motion was $50 to
3s and Mr.. Bailey and his followers vot-
ed with the republicans while Mr.. Dear
mond and other democrats and popuiista
opposed the motion.

A QUORUM OF


nAuCh ItustDeks transacted without On0.
Privileges of Representatives.
In "Tllis Country of Ours in The
Century, ex-President Harrison gives
this interesting view Of the workings Of
congress-: "A majority Of each house,
under the constitution, constitutes q
quorum for the transaction of business.
If n quorum is not present and hat fact
is disclosed by n yea and nay vote, bust
ness must stop until a quorum is secur-
ed. But the members present are empow-
cred by the constitution to adjourn from
day today and to compel the attend
ance of absent members, in such manner
and under such penalties as each house
may provide A great deal of business is
done i'll both the senate and the house
when a quorum is not present, the alb
sencc of a quorum not being officially
disclosed by a roll call. The sergeant-at.
arms is not an infrequent attendant at
social receptions and dinners, but al
ways an unwelcome one when he comes
to demand the attendance of truant SEN
ators or members upon their respective
houses. One-fifth Of the members pres
ent may demand a vote by yeas and
nays, and the vote must be recorded in
the journal which each house is required
to keep of its proceedings. This journal
does not include the debates, which are,
however, published in full daily in The
Congressional Record.
THE senators and members are priv
LEGGED from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of the peace, while in
attendance upon their respective houses
and while going to and returning to the
meetings of congress. A member may
be punished by the house to which he
belongs for disordcrly behavior, and by
Il two-thirds vote of the house may be
expelled

THR FIRST TARIFF TEST.
1T WAS UPON A MOTION BY MIR.
MORRILL, WHICH PREVAIL
ED BY A CLOSE VOTE.
The Issue Was Squarely Made Between
the Two Leading Parties in the Sem
ate-Mantle of Montana Criticizes
the Wool Schedule and Gets an Ex-
preston of Opinion From Hoar.

~ W. <hpil Ill IL
first skirmish on the tariff question &C.
CURED in the senate today. 1t was fol
lowed by a vote which served as a test
OF the strength Of the various elements
OF the senate. The vote occurred on mo.
ton by Morrill,, republican of Vermont
chairman Of the committee on finance
to refer a resolution by Mr.. Vest, one o.
the democratic members of that com
mittee. This made the issue between the
representatives Of the two leading ele.
ments in the senate. Aside from this, the
resolution was in the nature of a criti-
cism Of Secretar Gage and declared H.
legal his recent order relative to goods
imported after April 10, when according
10 the retroactive clause of the pending
Dingley bill. the new tariff rates are to
apply. Mr.. Morrill's motion prevailed
by the close vote OF "a to %. Senator
Kyle. whose position is a question of in
%terest, and Senator Allen, populist, were
absent.
The affirmative vote was given by the
republicans. including one silver repub-
lican, Mr.. Mantle of Montana. The neg
alive vote was made up of democrats,
populists, and two silver republicans
Pettigrew Of South Dakota, and Cannon
of Utah.
Prior to the vote a breezy discussion
occurred or several phases Of the tariff.
The subject came up first when Mr..
Mantle presented a memorial from the
wool growers urging ample protection
Of their industry. He referred in this
connection to the reports hat Secretary
North Of the wool manufacturers assO-
citation was acting as secretary OF the
finance committee. Mr.. Morrill, denied
the statement, saying that this gentle
man had beer summoned as an expert
to give information on the wool ques-
ton. Mr.. Hoar responded to some Of
the criticisms OF Mr.. Mantle. He said
he hoped to see the wool schedule ar
ranged to the satisfaction OF the wool
growers against the wool manufacturers.
Their interests were Identical. Mr. Nor
rill succeeded In cutting of the debate
by calling for the regular order. but it
soon broke out again on Mr.. Vests reso-
luton, directed against the secretary Of
the treasury.
Mr.. Morrill's resolution to refer the
resolution to the finance committee
brought the question to an issue with
the result state. Mr.. Morgan, Of Ala
bama, e%ndeavored to have a time fixed
for a final vote ON his Cuban resolution.
Mr.. Hoar objected and Mr.. Morgan gave
notice that the resolution would be
pressed until a final vote was reached.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then taken up. 1t afforded Mr.. Cor
man Of Maryland an opportunity to
speak of the disorganized condition OF
the senate. The committee amendment
opening the Uncompakhre Indian res
ervation to the public entry led to a
long contest. A point Of order was made
against 1t by Jones OF Arkansas and
pending a decision the senate adjourned.

Washington, ID. c.. April 14.-Con-

nominated D. j. Bundy, a colored lad
of Cincinnati, to a capetship at Annapo-
lis. He has been urged to withdraw the
name, but Gays he will stand by the ap-
pointment. There has been some MUIR
murs Of disappointment from the naval
academy and threats Of students to re-
sign.
THE boy earned the appointment fair
ly," said General Shattuck today. 81
have received no communications from
the students at Annapolis ON the cub
ject. but several congressman have told
me that 1t was an unwritten law not to
allow a colored boy at Annapolis. They
told me II 1 persisted it would break up
the school, that all the other students
would resign. Let them resign and be
damned, l retorted. That boy earned
his appointment fairly and l am going to
see that he goes to Annapolis and re-
ceives fair treatment"
