most Congressman, and unless an unex-

objection may arise in the Senate to its
immediate consideration, this is not ex-
pected to be prolonged. Speaker Reed

Trying to Reach Port Before the Duty I'm
posed on Sugar Takes Effect "The
Game is Worth the Candle"

Philadelphia, Pa, July 23.-Two Brit
ish steamers laden with valuable car
goes of sugar are tonight scudding over
the seas toward this port as fast as their
engines can carry them, in a race a
gainst time, tide and tariff. There is a
stake of S125,000 at the finish if they
get within the customs district of Phil
adelphia before the Dingley bill passes
the Senate tomorrow afternoon, for by
doing so they will have saved that much
money in duties on the sugar. The YES
sells are the EtOn, tCapt. Enweight) and
the HurwOrth,( Capt Mark) Both
are from Java with their cargoes con-
signed here. AS Gibraltar was passed
July and 9th respectively the steamers
should have come in the Delaware capes
last night, but the recently heavy wealth
er has probably retarded them. To in
coming vessels, the Philadelphia customs
district begins at Marcus Hook, Penn
sylvania, and to-day three swift tugs
went down the river to pull the steamers
over the line before the bill becomes n
law. Every effort is being made to make
better time than the United States Sen
ate has been making and the postpone
ment of the date of the vote on the bill
until three o'clock tomorrow afternoon
has stimulated hope of the landing of the
stake. To do so, however, the steamers
will have to be within the district before
noon tomorrow, as the custom house
closes at that hour until Monday. Sub
stantial rewards await the captains of
the ships if they beat the bill.

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Many Husbands Poisoned so as to Sc
cure Insurance Money.

Budapest, July 23.-The trial of twelve
women and two men charged with whole
sale poisoning was concluded here to-day
and sentences were pronounced upon six
of the prisoners. -Four of them were
condemned to death, one to penal SER
vitude for life and one to a term of six
years imprisonment.
The series of crimes which occurred
in the Hodmezoevasahely district extend
over some years past.
The victims were in most cases mar
ried men who were killed by their wives,
the motive for the crimes being generally
a desire to obtain insurance money. The
insurance companies, the testimony at
the trial showed, had called the attention
of the authorities to the suspiciously high
rate of mortality in the district a number
of times before proceedings were taken
to ascertain the cause.
An alleged mid wife named Marie Jag
er supplied the other female prisoners
with the poison used by them.
Two hundred witnesses were examined
in the course of the trial.

from which this amount of gold was OBJ
tanned was brought to the surface in a

turn their attention to investments near
