This precipitated a lively controversy
between Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Pettigrew
Silver Republican Is. d., which came
to an impressive climax when Mr.. Pet
tigrew was overcome in the midst of a
vehement speech.
The South Dakota Senator had pro-
posed an amendment adding Fuller's
earth, unwrought or manufactured, 81
per ton.
He referred to the amendment secured
by Mr.. Platt and to the advantage OF
being on the Finance committee as a
means of aiding little refining mill in
Connecticut, while the producers of Full
ler's earth were left out in the cold.
Il WONDER" he exclaimed passionate
ly, whether there is an instance of any
cross roads institution in Connecticut that
is not thoroughly taken care of in this
BILL If there be any it is an oversight.
And l suppose Pennsylvania gets $3
IA ton on China clay because the Senator
from Pennsylvania Quay has four
bushels of manuscript and has told the
committee he will bring it here unless he
gets what he wants"
The Senator then severely arraigned
the New England Senators who voted,
he said, on the principle of enlightened
self interest.
Mr.. Platt replied, intimating that Mr..
Pettigrew was for protection in some
things and not in others, and was in
spired by the fact that bed of Fuller's
earth had been discovered in South
Dakota.
This appeared to anger Mr.. Pettigrew,
and with intense feeling, and rapidity,
he responded: 1.-THE Senator says l am
a protectionist only in spots. If to be a
protectionist means to vote duty of 100
per cent. on silk then l am protection
,st only in spots. If to be protectiOnist,
man must vote for duty on sugar,
purely and absolutely for the benefit
of gigantic and corrupt trust, at the
dictation of a caucus, then l am pro-
tectionist only in spots"
The vehemence of Mr.. Pettigrew' s
utterance drew every eye on him. He
began another sentence. Then he hesi-
tated and made vain effort to articulate
his words. 1t was thought to be mo-
mentary indisposition. Senators waited
for him to proceed Then it was observ-
ed that he could not speak. Senators
Mantle and Carter were quickly by his
side and water was brought him. He
took his seat without assistance and
there was an awe-like stiffness through
the chamber.
Other Senators joined in the circle
about Mr. Pettigrew's desk. He retain
ed his color and was not, apparently, Sc
riously affected.
Approaching the situation, Mr. Pasco
relieved the strain by proceeding with
the debate on Fuller's earth. The para
graph finally went over.
The paragraph on watch movements
was then taken up, but finally went over
at the request of Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas.
At o'clock Mr.. Allison asked to lay
aside the bill and the Senate went into
executive session, adjourning soon after.

A FATAL WABASH WRECK.
Express Goes Through a Bridge and
Feared That % Were Killed.

Kansas City, Mo-, 26.-The st. Louis
express on the Wabash Railway which
left here at 6:2O this evening plunged
through a trestle at Missouri City, Mo-,
at five minutes of seven o'clock, carry
ing down the entire train with the ex-
ception of the rear car, pullman. The
gorge which few hours previously was
practically empty, had become raging
torrent because of tremendous down
pour of rain, and the structure weak
ened. Seven persons are known to be
dead and the lost may reach 25. There
were 25 passengers in the chair-car and
only few of these are accounted for.

precisely what is in the Kaisers brain.
The Kaiser has displayed at times sim
gular CLEANS of insight. The facts of the
moment appear to justify his enigmatic
saying. The Americans are exhibiting
a tendency to depart from their policy of
seclus:on and interfere very strongly in
the affairs of the old world"
Continuing, the Spectator instances
Venezuela, Samoa and Hawaii, adding:
And they are apparently going to in
terfere with Spain in the most peremtO-
ry manner. If there is any truth in the
account of the instructions given to Gen
eral WoOdford, the United States in
tend to Immediately offer an ultimatum
to Spain, by practically refusing her
permission to suppress revolt in her
own dominion. The last event seems to
have very badly impressed the Kaiser
and the Emperor's remarks throughout
dealt with the perils which it was his
object to avert. Does he propose himself
to avert American Intervention in the af-
fairs of the old world? If he does, Presi-
dent Mckinley must be cautious in his
diplomacy, for the German and Spanish
fleets combined would be more than
match for any feet America could pro-
duce, without an effort which would tax
the resources of the union, not in money,
but in ships and sailors. The union is
irrestible only ashore and Cuba would
be a poor reward for a great and dan
gerous sea war. 1t is not certain Ger
many has not motive for such an alli-
ance, for the United States, with Mon
roeism, is nearly as much in the way of
powers desiring to expand as Great Bri-
tain"

he took a small round loaf OF bread from
