WAsHrNGToN, D. c., April 81
Upon the e-assembling Of the senate,
this morning, Mr.. Morgan took the
floor aud continued his speech on the
Cuban resolution, paying glowing
compliments to the newspaper CORE
spondents, who, fearless OF Spanish
prisons, told the truth about affairs on
the island.
Mr. Chandler presented and the senate
passed resolution which called on the
interstate commission for information
concerning the employment committee,
which is also employed by the railway
corporations. Mr.. Chandler's intended
investigation might unearth irregular
tiles.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 5.-The
republican members OF the finance
committee expect to report the tariff
bill to. the senate by the 26tb,
instant. Many changes will be made
in the house measure. Some schedules
have been entirely re-arranged. The
probabilities are that the wool and
sugar schedules will be left open for
trading purposes when the bill is in
the senate. At present, the regular
republicans are not certain of more
than forty-two votes. They hope to
secure the requisite number through
deals with the silver republicans and
populists. Wool and sugar, the lead
ers think, will fetch the necessary sup
port. 1t is understood that Mr.
German will conduct the democratic
fight.
WAsHIEGToN, d. c., April g.
The finance committee of the senate
decided to strike out of the tariff bill
the entire reciprocity section, being
convinced it is useless and imprac-
ticable. The decision was reached sfter
conference with the representation of
foreign nations.

Ringling Brothers. worlds greatest
shows, now universally acknowledged
TO be the largest, and most complete
combined circus, menagerie and hippo
drOme, will exhibit In Hutchinson, on
Wednesday, september %. This will
be by far the most important amuse-
ment event of the season, and one that
will awaken interest throughout the
community. Ringing Bros. supremacy
in the amusement world has, in recent
years, become 80 pronounced that the
name of their exhibition is in ITSELF
guarantee of its surprising merit. The
achievements Of the past have been
eclipsed by the grandeur and striking
novelty of the ent rprise organ zed by
these progressive managers for the
present season Colossal as this grand
exposition was last year, it was not to
be compared with the magnitude Of this
seasons Offering. There are twice as
many railroad cars, twice as many ele-
plants, twice as many new and rare
wild animals, twice as many notable
and unequslled European and Amer
lean arenic specialists, twice as many
really great features as there were last
year, and the people who were &C
quainted with the former triumphs OF
this show will understand what such
an augmentation of the magnificent eX-
hibitiOn must have entailed in its or
ganization in the way of expense. Ac-
cording to the most careful estimate
the amount of capital invested in this
vast enterprise is three and One-half
millions Of dollars, while the average
daily expense is over seven thousand
dollars. There are five trains of double
cars, with a capacity OF one hundred
and thirty ordinary cars. twenty-five
elephants, the largest number ever seen
in the western hemisphere, four hun
bred of the finest bloOded horses, scores
of cages OF wild animals. and hundreds

Winding up the Bank.


This is probably the last week the
newspapers will have anything to write
regarding the affairs of the Bank Of
Hutchinson. On last Thursday tho
assets of the bank were sold to the
syndicate organized for that purpose
and in the afternoon they commenced
paying off the depOsitOrs the fifty cents
on the dollar as per the arrangements
made the latter part of July.
Probably all the depOsitOFs have been
paid off before this time. This of
course drops q1ite a snug sum OF
money, about s25, 900 into the hands Of
a number of Reno county people, that
had been tied up and uncertain of eyer
being paid.
What will be done about the matter
Of prosecutions is a matter of cOnjec-
tUre The county attorney declares TO
the GAZETTE reporter they shall pro-
coed, but talks of a continuance till the
next term OF court. This should not
be-. If they are to be tried it should
be done before the public interest is
any further allowed to wane.
The bank commissioner says this
was the rottenest piece of business that
has come under his observation since
he has been in Office. Inc payment of
fifty cents on the dollar should not he
allowed to act AS bride on the com
monwealth to clear them from the tolls

Caught.

A man from Arkansas by the name
of j. M. Prim was arrested by Sheriff
Patten the other day who was wanted
in his old State for a number of crimes
and misdemeanOrs chiefly fOrgerles and
larcenSes IL seems that he was we'll
located on good farm with nice
family and running meat market, but
had penchSnt for butcheTing and
selling his nsighbOrS kline instead of
his own. He also raised money at die
ferenr times by forgery. He had made
a clever success at lodging the officers
Of Arkansas but it was discovered that
he had received letter at small
town in Stafford county and had
mailed another at a small town near
by. Sheriff Patten was then put to
watching the case by the Arkansas
sheriff and soon located him on farm
in Stafford comfy where he had hired
out. He seemed to be much surprised
that his whereabouts had been dis
covered. He had received an invita-
ton to attend daughters wedding af-
ter locating with the Stafford county
farmer.
Prim was between fOrty-tive and
fifty wears old and appears to have been
one of those unfOrtunates who was
either endowed by nature with an in
herent lack of sense or hereditary de-
sire to be crooked In either event it
is bad enough.
