Washington CIV Tragedy.

Washington, June THE throng of
government clerks and others hurrying
up Pennsylvania avenue, near Four
aud a half street, about ten minutes to
O'Clock this morning, were startled by
the attempted murder OF Miss Dorothy
+. Squires and the suicide of Charles
Barber, patent attorney, who has
gained much notoriety of late by his &C.
centric actions.
Barber shot Miss Squires, then turned
the revolver on himself and put a pistol
ball through his brains, causing almost
instaneous death. Miss Squires is still
alive, but the extent of her injury is not
yet known. Barber had considerable
of patent practice, but had been grow
ing more and more eccentric for several
years, and of late many of his friends
thought nim unbalanced.
Miss Squires formerly worked for him
as stenographer and upon leaving his
employ he annoyed her with his at
tentiens, threatening to injure her if
she would not permit him to cali. Fl
Dally the matter became so serious that
she had to appeal to the courts for pro-
lection and he Was placed under bonds
to keep the peace He seems not to
have desisted, however, for since then
the girl had received several threatening
letters from him, in the last of which he
announced that he would do something
they would iboth regret. Barber also
came before the Washington public in
another but similar role few DAYS ago,
being brought into the police court for
an assault case with some sensational
features arising out of struggle for a
fine dog he possessed. He came to
Washington from .PIattsburg. n. Y,
and was associated in a few cases with
the late Ben Butler, of Massachusetts,
the one-time presidential candidate.

SENATOR GoRMAS, of Maryland, says
the Philadelphia Record, is quoted as
saying that the tariff will be passed in
the senate by the middle of this month.
What Senator German says about tariff
bills goes. He Is an insider. His,views
are not guesses. 1t pleases the RecOr d
to know from such expert authority that
the tariff game is approaching its last
stage, when the two houses will settle In
conference and caucus what they
couldn't agree upon in the open air and
in the face of their fellow
The nation is prepared to take the
new tariff just as traveller caught in a
thunder shower is prepared to take a
ducking-not because he desires it, but
because he. cannot escape. Business
men are anxious that the tariff bill shall
be passed-not because they approve OF
the proposed changes, but because de-
lay and uncertainty are harder to bear
than any conditions which may be i'm
posed.
The United States are so rich in ma
tural resources that they can bear up
under the most exhaustive tax rates
without flinching and without outcry-
No further proof is needed of this fact
than the heroic methods by which we
accomplish the swift reduction of our
war debt, and the unexampled and
atrocious extravaganza with which year
after year the vast accumulations in The
treasury have been dissipated for other
purposes and scattered like chaff before
the The United States will be
checked in their imperial growth by the
shackles imposed upon industry and
commerce when Dingley and Aldrich
and Mckinley shall have completed
their work. But the country can stand
heap of misgovernment, extravaganza
and folly, and yet be the best country
in the world to live in.
Mckinley will only be with us four
years. We might have Jared worse.

OK Friday at Philadelphia President
Judge Hanna, of the Orphans court,
in adjudicating the estate of George
Blight, deceased, decided that the new
direct inheritance tax law is unconstitu-
tional. The law was recently passed by
the Legislature as a revenue measure and
was expected to add between s6O0,OO
and 81 900, 900 annually to the revenues
of the state. The question will probably
be carried to the Supreme court for a
final decision.

CONFERRED TODAY WITH CALHOUN
The President Heard Recitais of the
Awful State of Affairs the Island.
Calhoun Admits the Lee Report Pub
lished Is Authentic.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-It is almost
certain that the return of President Nc
kinley from Nashville, for which place
he started today. will be marked by de-
cisive action in behalf of Cuba.
w j. Calhoun of Illinois, the special
commissioner sent to Cuba by President
Mckinley. on arriving here, went i'm
medlately to the state department
where Judge Day, the assistant secre-
tary of state. was awaiting him, ana
together they proceeded to the White
House. They were shown into the cab
met room, where President Mckinley
and Judge Day listened 10 MIR. CAL
houn's description of the situation in
the war-ridden island and to the con-
clusions reached by him.
Judge Day declined to be interviewed
on the subject of the conference, fur
ther than to say it was very interest
ing. Mr.. Calhoun likewise preferred
net to talk of the interview, further
than TO say he had reported to the pres
ident what he had seen and heard. Mr..
Calhoun also met the president this
morning. when he again went over his
impressions.
Mr.. Calhoun did not go TO Nashville
with Mr.. Mckinley, but will leave for
his home in Illinois probably today and
If necessary will visit here after the
president returns.
The Republican senators, some of
them members of the foreign relations
commit tee, say there is no doubt that
the president will take action as soon
as MIR. Calhouu's report is received. No

The cabinet meeting Tuesday lasted
longer than usual. The Cuban situa-
ton was discussed in a general way,
but the most important subject pre-
sented was the Spanish mission. The
availability of three men for this i'm

canvassed but no decision was reached
One of the cabinet officers said after
the meeting that the selection was still
open and will now go over until the
presidents return from the Nashville
trip. 1t may be that the non-appear-
ance of Mr.. Calhoun had something TO
do with postponing action.
Mr.. Calhoun, when asked concerning

THE NEW-YORK LIFE CLOCK.
BEAUTIFUL DESIGN WHICH Is TO
SURMOUNT THE COMPANY'S
BUILDING

It IS pity that the clock tower which sur
mounts the massive building Of the New-York
Life Insurance Company at Broadway and
Leonard-st.. should be so high above the range
OF vision OF passers- by in the street. Naturally,
the place for tower is at the top Of structure,
but the picturesque and interesting design OF
this particular seems too attractive to be
placed where few persons can appreciate It,
Mckim Mead & White, the architects Of the
building. are also the designers Of the tower. OF
which the globe Is the most striking feature.
The lower and main part Of the tower. con-
tanning the clock. is Of white marble elaborately
carved. 1t is square, each corner being finished
with a massive pillar about twenty feet high.
There are dials. nearly ten feet In diameter upon
each Of the four sides. Above this cubcal base
giitters the huge. gilt globe representing the
earth II is Of open metal work, the bars OF
which 1t is composed being the meridians and
parallels to be found on a map OF the world.
Enclrcling It's centre Is broad band. inclined
as the oarth's equator lnclines toward its orbit.
This band Is studded with stars, to represent the
armament. The diameter Of the globe Is fifteen
feet Within 1t. merely for the purpose Of giving
appearance of solidity to the airy outside
ball. Is much smaller gilt globe not over eight
feet in diameter
The large globe is supported upon the shoul-
ders of four colossal bronze figures, each kneel-
ing upon the right knee. and with the right arm
uplifed, in the traditional posture Of Atlas sup
porting the sphere. The extreme height Of each
OF these figures. from the foot to the tip Of the
raised hand, Is over fourteen feet Growing the
whole. an American eagle with outstretched
wings, the emblem of the company, perches
upon the globe. The bird is six feet in height,
from claws to head. and measures nine feet from
tip to tip Of the FURNISHED wings
Work upon the tower is not yet finished, as
may be seen from the presence Of the scaffold-
ing. which shows in the accompanying picture.
When entirely completed the great globe is to
be Illuminated at night. and cannot fail to be a
beautiful object then: perhaps even more con
spicuous than II is when sunlight strikes Its
shining surface in the daytime

however, as the wide seats on the sides or the

the nursery being replaced by ottomans and

curves is obvated. AS further protection
against injury to the little ones the walls Of the
nursery are heavily padded and the floor thickly
