1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The New York World is apparently
DESTROYS of squaring itself with the
Democrats of the country for its sup
port of the Republican national ticket
last year. Knowing well that the new
tariff law is distasteful to the average
Democrat ard that the election of Mr..
Mckinley, to which the World con-
tributed what influence it had, is re-
sponsible for that law, it seeks to crawl
out through a very small shole by hold
ing the free silver contingent in the
United States senate responsible for
the passage of the Dingley bill.
Under the caption who Passed the
Tariff Bil?" the World says:
THE new tariff is nominally the work
of the Republican party. In fact, it
could not have been passed without the
aid of the free silver senators.
''On the final vote in the senate for
the conference bill there were 40 affirm
ative and 30 negative votes cast. There
were seven pairs. There were three
two senators absent and not paired.
Two of the 40 affirmative votes were
cast by the free silver leaders, Jones
and Stewart of Nevada. The one
Democratic vote given in its favor was
that of the free silver Democrat Nc
Emery of Louisiana. Among the sew
en- pairs, Mantle, free sflverite, was
paired in favor of the blk The three
senators present and not voting were
Allen, Butler and TellerAal advanced
free silver men. The two senators who
were absent and not paired were Kyle
and Pettigrew, both radical free silver
ties.
IF Jones, Stewart and McEnery, the
free silver men who voted affirmatiVely
for the bill; Allen, Butler and Teller,
the free silver men who did not vote al
all though present in the chamber; Kyle
and Pettigrew, the free silver men who
were absent and not paired, and Man
tie. who was paired in favor of the
bill had cast their votes against it,
the result would have been the defeat
of the measure by a vote Of 81 for and
80 against it.
THUS the most monstrous tariff in
the history of the country. the one
that ffeeces the people to fatten the
trusts more shamefully than any pre-
viously enacted, has been saddled upon
the American people by the action of
the free silver senators, mostly from
the rotten pocket boroughs of the far
west
This view of the matter places the
World in a position to make political
capital out of the result of the recent
tariff legislation, however it may re-
suit. If it accomplish what its friends
expect of it, the credit is not due to
the Republicans; if it fail and result in
damage to the country, the fault can
be laid at the door of the silverites.
In the meantime the Worlds solicit
tude regarding responsibility seems to
be wasted since the dominant party
appears to be entirely willing to as
sumo all the responsibility forthe Ding
ley law and no other party seems in
clined to attempt to rob it of it's title
of authorship.

BALDWIN'S DEBTS.
California Millionaire Said to Have
Wealth Far in Excess of What
He Owes.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-Although
Lucky Baldwin has mortgages on his
property for nearly two millions he is
in no wise cast down, for he realizes
that he has twice as much property
that is not pledged to anyone. The
debts of the millionaire have been an
interesting public topic for some
months. A report was circulated yes
terday that Baldwin had placed new
blanket mortgage for $750,000 on his
property, but this proves to be incOr
rect A mortgage for that amount was
filed yesterday, but it was simply the
renewal of an old mortgage. 1t covers
his property in this city and the San
Antonio ranch in Los Angeles county.
This property would easily sell for
three times the face of the mortgage.
The total amount of Baldwin's debts
is placed at 81, SOC, 900. On this he pays
an average rate of 61h per cent. 1t
was stated that short time ago he
tried to secure two million dollars at 5
per cent from New York bankers, but
the deal fell through. This was in
tended to take up all other mortg ges.
The financial troubles of Baldwin are
mainly due to his passion for Specula-
ton and also to the extensive improve
mentS he makes on his property. He
will sell nothing, preferring to plaster
his great estate with mortgages. 1t
is stated that his Los Angeles property
alone would pay his debts if properly
handled, but he spends on them more
than they yield.

TORRENT OF GOLD
Rolls Into the Strong Box of
the Standard Oil Trust.

New York, Aug. 6.-That gigantic
clared another dividend of 2 per cent
yesterday, in addition to its regular
quarterly dividend of per cent.
The trusts capitalization is over $780,
600, 900, and thus another $1,000, 900 is
added to the Golfers of the few mag
mates who control the entire oil out
put of the country.
The trusts profits to date amount to
nearly $3.50, 900, 900, which means that in
the ten years of it's existence the colos-
sal monopoly has made on an average
over $10,o00,o0O a year. The dividend
yesterday shows that the trusts prof
over $40. 000, 600 a year.
The owners of the oil combine today
are worth over $3.50, 600 900. OF this sum
John D. Rockefeller alone is worth
5000, 900, 900. His income from oil is So
100000 a year-Or, to be explicit, 500 900
every day in the year.
The monopoly was formed in 1882
with capital of $40, 600, 000 In the in
tervening years the Standard has al
ready made itself secure against oppo-
sition. Now it is practically owned by
five men, with John D. Rockefeller at
the head. He is the richest man in

owners.

IN HORSELESS CARRIAGES.
Harry Payne Whitney ard "Dick'
Peters Divert Newport With
Race

Newport, Aug. Ga horseIess carriage
race took place yesterday. The partici-
pants were Harry Payne Whitney, who
has just purchased carriage, and Dick
Peters.
The course was from the Golf club
to the junction of Bellevue and Ruggles
avenues, and the race was won by Mr..
Peters, who reached the goal about half
a minute ahead of Mr.. Whitney.
The race has been the talk of the club
today. Mr.. Whitney received his carriage
yesterday morning, and when he reached
the Golf club was loud in praise of it's
speed. Mr.. Peters said that the old car
riage which he was using was faster
than the new one. Mr.. Whitney imme
diately proposed a race. The course was
very rough and billy.
Both men started at six and a half
miles hour. When they finished Mr..
Whitney was covering twelve and Mr..
Peters fourteen and three-quarters. The
distance was little over six miles.
Mr.. Whitney explained that Mr.. Peters
greater familiarity with the carriage had
enabled him to use higher rate of
speed.

HIS MOUTH CLOSED.
By the Sting of a Mosquito While He
was Snoring.

New York, Aug. 6.-Alexander Seufer-
ling of 521 West Fifty-frst street, has had
a bad habit of sleeping with his mouth
open and disturbing the other members
of the family with his shores. Saturday
night a mosquito crawled into the minia-
ture cavern, and, finding the inner side
of the young mans lip to its liking, in
f1icted a very painful sting.
When Seuferling awoke his lip was bad
1y swollen. He paid little attention to it,
and Sunday went to an outing with
friend. Yesterday he went to work with
very little breakfast. His mouth was al
most closed, and he could scarcely eat.
AS he worked mis- lip continued to swell,
and he was finally obliged to go home.
Last night he could neither eat nor talk,
and there was no sign of relief from his
trouble this morning. With his sister to
do the talking he went to Roosevelt hos
pita1 and showed his face to DR.. Mac
Nider who pronounced the case serious,
and said it would require close attention,
as complications might set in.

SAUSAGE TRADE FAILS.
Chicago Manufacturers and Dealers
Blame Inspector Setback
for Depression.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Sausagemakers gen
orally in this city breathe invective of a
more or less violent nature when they
hear Inspector Schaack's name mention
ed. Those who breathe nothing stronger
than garlic think that the Luetgert bust
ness has gone far enough.
They take this view not on account of
any sympathy with their imprisoned fell
low-craftsman. 1t is because, they say
the case has hurt their business and is
likely to hurt it still more.
The sausagemakers declare that when
the first alleged discovery of the resi6uum
if Mrs. Luetgert was made public the ap-
petite for sausage fell off to an extent
that nearly bankrupted them. The
butchers, their customers, they assert,
would make purchases of pastroma or
pepper roulade of beef. but would shake
their heads darkly when sausage was
mentioned. The sale of anything linked
had been destroyed by the Setback chain
of evidence.
Some of the manufacturers do a small
retail business, and they had an oppor-
tunity to notice the effect which accounts
of the investigation made on sausage con-
sumers at first hand. Some of their old
est customers failed to appear for days,
and when they did come they ordered in
a hesitating kind of way that was en-
barrassing to the dealer.
George Jourdain, who has a factory at
So Halsted street, said yesterday that
every one in the trade had felt the effect
of the Luetgert investigations
People come in and joke us about it -
he said, but it isn't any very great joke.
I suppose now that the trial is coming
off in the criminal court there will be
another spell of fasting from anything
rolled in a skim
The manager of the Vienna Sausage
company at 40 Halsted street had the
same experience to relate, although he
said that his kosher trade was very
little affected

BISHOP POTTER AT HOME.
Says He Has Not Been Asked to Ar
bitrate the Strike.

New York. Aug. 6.-Bishop Henry G.
Potter of New York, arrived. on the
Germania yesterday from Liverpool.
When asked if he had come over
prepared to arbitrate the troubles of
the striking coalers he replied that he
had not been asked to arbitrate in this
matter.
In speaking of the conference of bish-
ops held at Lambeth, Bishop Potter said
that he was impressed by the independ-
ence and spirit shown by the bishops.
The remark was brought out by
question as to his views of the reported
movement to amalgamating the organi-
cations of bishops, English, American,
Indian and colonial. Bishop Potter said
that he had never heard of such a
movement.
Il do not think that the plan would
succeed" said the bishop, II know that
the feeling of the bishops is decidedly
against anything of the sort.
II was surprised to see the strong
feeling of reedom shown by the colonial
bishops. Surprising as it may seem they
were more aggressive, Independent and
Outspoken in their views than even the
Americans and they would be the first
to prevent anything that would curtaiI
their liberty and freedom

CORNER NOW ON COTTON.
st. Louis Spectators Again Show
Their ShrewdnesS.

st. Louis, Aug. 6.-Cotton is said to
be cOrnered in this city, and it is likely
to remain cornered until the LIST day of
September, when the official year opens
and the new crop begins to move. The
statement of the local warehouses
shows that the total number of bales
in store today aggregate 1852 bales.
Last year at this time there were 25, 236
bales. OF the 1852 bales now on hand
over 5000 bales are held by one firm
Allen-West Commission company.
Middlng cotton is quoted on the
blackboard of the Cotton Exchange at
1915 cents, but holders, it is said are
asking 12@%c above that figure, and
seem to be Indifferent about selling.
James Allen of the Allen-West Com
mission company, when asked today if
there was corner, replied in the mega
tive. This is the end of the cotton
season of 1861 said he, land the
spot cotton is mighty scarce at all the
leading cotton points from New Orleans
to St. Louis. We have over 5000 bales
in the warehouses and we are holding
on to it. as nearly half of that cotton
is two years old. 1t is well seasoned,
and then the crop of two years ago was
finer than last years growth

GUNS FROM FORT SUMTER
Gift of Ordinance for Park Purposes
to Kokomo Creates Dissatisfaction.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 6.-The pro-
posed removal of two of the three 10
inch Columbiads from Fort Sumter to
a public park at KokomO, Ind, has ex-
cited no little comment here, and, were
il not for the fact that congress has
already passed an act authorizing
Chief of Ordnance F1agler to issue the
necessary orders for their removal, the
citizens of Charleston would now be
taking steps to keep the war relics
here.
AS it now stands, efforts are being
made by the leading business men and
commercial organizations to secure for
one of the parks of this city the few
remaining guns now stored away in
the recently reconstructed fortress. The
guns in question never saw service at
Sumter, save in saluting the flag, but
they possess some interest and hiStori-
cal value for the reason that they were
a Fort Sumter when it was evacuated
ON the 18th of February, 1866.

CHASED BY THE.'SKEETERs
Jersey Worshippers Driven Out by
the Insects.

New York, Aug. 6.-The mosquito
plague of New Jersey promises to rival
the famous plaques of Egypt. The
meetings of the Seventh Day Adven-
fists in Pacific avenue, near Bramhall
avenue, Jersey City, degenerated last
night into a slapping match, and the
services had to be practically suspend
ed because of the mosquito pest. Rev.
H. E. KeStlake was creStfallen and the
wOrShiperS all went home, after a Wig
orous battle, suffering from loss of
blood. The services are held in a tent
in a locality where the mosquitoes dwell
by the millions.
The news that the mosquitoes had
increased fOurfold this week on account
of the many transforms had gone forth,
but in spite of that Is sisters and six
brethfenS braved the consequences.
Pastor KeStlake had just begun to read
from the old testament about the seven
plaques when a slap was heard and two
big bloodsuckers had been squashed on
the neck of one of the sisters.
One brother SQuaShed a mosquito on
the deacon's back in front of him and
pretty soon everybody was slapping
himself and herself and everybody else
and the blOodSuckerS were whiZzing
about the pastors head and nose until
he could hardly see ahead of him.
1t was here a slap and there a slap.
Handkerchief had to be used inces-
sanity. and even hymn books were used
services were brought to a close the
sisters and brethren were despatched
with blood. They looked as if they had
emerged from a slaughter house. A
netting to inclose the tents has been or
dered. The women went last night
with wells, and Pastor Kestlake has
been advised to wear a base ball mask.
- One practical result of the mosquito
plague has been to cause a rise in the
price of pay for picking berries. The
pickers say it is almost worth ones life
to go into the bushes. They claim they
would rather enter a nest of hungry
yellow jackets or hornets than to face
the 'SkeeterS.
In the towns along the coast, and es-
pecially around Barnegat bay, the sit
uation is becoming alarming. Some of
the owners of berry patches have aban-
doned the crop, being unable to pay the
price demanded by the pickers.
Another source of trouble comes
from the fact that it is impossi-
bic to turn live stock into the fields.
Cattle are driven frantic while grazing
in the meadows, and run widely about.
believing and thrashing the air with
their tails. Many of the farmers who
have attempted to harvest their grass
since the rain have abandoned the idea
because the horses could not endure the
mosquito attack.
Unless a dry spell ensNes for time
it is likely that whole fields of grain
will remain unharVested in some parts
of the state.

EXCITING MAN HUNT.

Body of Citizens Join in the Chase.
Washington, Aug. 6.-After more than
a week of searching by the police James
Carr, a young white man, who assault
white girl, has been captured by private
citizens. The case has attracted much
more than ordinary attention here on
account of the laxity of the police in
failing to arrest Carr. He is the third
perpetrator of serious crimes who has
slipped through the fingers of the police
in the second precinct within three
months. Carr was located by some cit
liens. He was hiding in the attic of
house within a few squares of the place
where his crime was committed. When
but made his escape, assaulting a wo-
man and knocking down a man and
getting away before the police arrived.
The whole force was in a turmoil and
drafted every available man on the
work. Carr was not discovered how
ever till early this morning when he
sneaked out of a stable where he had
been hiding and went to the house of
man named Fowler whom he knew and
to disguise himself. Fowler told him
to go back to the stable and hide till
the dress could be gotten. When Carr
was gone Fowler sent out an alarm and
going to the stable in company with a
muscular cabman, the two of them
OVerpOWered Carr after a fierce fight
and turned him over to the police. The
methods of the police in this case have
aroused the district commissioners to a
thorough investigation of the police de-
partment and reorganization is looked
