Indicating supreme excellence in footwear,
has been awarded us by the grand jury of
shoe buyers. The mercury is not more SEN
sitive to changes Of temperature than the feet
are to their surroundings. 1t hurts them to
have more room than they require, or to be
pinched into smaller space than they should
occupy. Exact fits in soft, easy, yielding
shoes are absolutely essential to comfort
Our Footwear combines all the fine points at
prices as pleasant as sunshine after storm.

PLATE-GLAsS PARAGRAPH PROVES
A SOURCE OF CONTROVERSY.
AN EXCITING INCIDENT.
SENATOR MORGAN CALLED TO OR
DER FOR CRITICIsING REED.
AUTOMATIC TRAP = DOOR RULE.
The Albanian Chnracterizes the
Speakers Plan of Action, or In
action Rather, ns an Outrage
Against Popular Rights.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Progress on
the tariff bill in the Senate was checked
to-day, the plate-glass paragraph proving
source Of controversy lasting through
out the day. As a result, little more
than a page Of the bill was disposed OF.
The Finance Committee succeeded with
out difficulty in resisting proposed amend
ments from Democratic members Of the
committee, although each amendment was
debated at great length.
An exciting incident occurred during the
afternoon, when Senator Morgan, Of Ala
bama. was called to order by Mr.. Cal
llnger. who was temporarily in the chair,
for severely critcisng the inaction Of
the House Of Representatives. Mr. Nor
gan declared that the Speaker Of the
House was enforcing an automatic trap
door rule. by which representatives. were
assembled and dispersed, and he charac-
terized this plan as an outrage against
popular rights. Mr.. Hale, Of Maine, frst
asked that a protest be made against
criticism against the other House, but
Mr.. Morgan vehementy repeated ms
criticism, and MT. haze Hlduc d punt VI
order against him. The temporary pre-
siding officer declared that Mr.. Morgan
must resume his seat, and then ruled that
he was out of order. The Alabama Sena-
tor. somewhat chagrined, was about to
appeal from the decision OF the Chair
when Mr.. Hale withdrew his point OF
order and further friction was avoided.
Mr. Morgan resumed his criticism during
the tariff debate, and made the point
that Congress was not now in session IN
accordance with the Constitution, the
House of Representatives having vacated
its functions.
After a sharp contest with the tariff
leaders. Mr.. Quay succeeded in carrying
a motion to adjourn over the Decoration
Dav celebration on Monday.
The debate on Mr. Jones's amendment
TO the plate-glass schedule lasted two
hours and on a yea and nay vote was
defeated-M to 90 Messrs. Heitfeld, Kyle
and Pettigrew voted with the Democrats
and Mr.. Jones, Of Nevada, with the Re
| publcans.

BERLIN, May 29.-The trial OF Herr
Won Tausch. the former Chief OF the Secret
Political Police. charged with perjury.
treason, and forgery, which began on
Monday last and continued through the
week, monopolizes public attention. The
proceedings will last at least for another
week. Though q number OF revelations
have been made showing the rottenness
and moral turpitude OF the Berlin secret
police, there is a general impression
that much interesting information has
been withheld by Won Tausch and by
Baron Won Luetzow, the chief witness
against him. especially regarding the in
trigues OF high dignitaries to queer"
a number OF past and present ministers.
The presiding judge repeatedly expressed
indignation at the network Of corruption
and baseness which the depositions Of
defendants threw light upon.
Won Luetzow admitted that the names
Of well known citizens were frequently
forged to receipts for money received as
compensation for spy service. Won
Tausch said the police commissioners
necessarily had to shield the criminal
acts OF their subordinate agents; other
wise no Police Commissioner could gS-
complish anything, as usually the most
clever agents were the worst men from
a moral standpoint. The prisoner re-
yealed a number OF damaging incidents
against the owners and editors OF Berlin
newspapers. Herr Schweinburg. the
owner OF Berlin paper was charged
with receiving an annual briDe OF $1,000
marks from the Disconto Society.
1t was also ELECTED that Normann
Schumann. who was implicated in tho
scandal which resulted in Won Luetzow's
being sentenced to sixteen months Inn
prlsonment in December last, while writ
ing AT Von Tauschs behest scurrllous ar
tlcles against members of the present
Cabinet ana the Emperor, was paid by
Won Tausch for instituting make-believe
inquiries into the authorship OF the arti-
cies. and for accusing wholly innocent
persons Of writing them. Norman Schu-
mann escaped from Berlin previous TO
the arrest OF Won Luetzow.
