Payne of Wisconsin, after a few days

Mr.. Payne, in answer to an inquiry

of this country and away from my
friends fo' any length of time.
Il gratefully appreciate the consider
alton which the President has shown
me. cannot, of course, give in detail
the conversation with him upon the
subject, but 1 may properly say that no
man need ask for stronger or hand
sOmer evidence of the Presidents con-
fidence than was afforded by the ten

Colonel Fullerton of ST. Louis is miss

either the postal or baggage car was

the north rail, which caused the derail-
ment of the entire train.
The passenger missing and supposed
to have been killed is General j. S.

1t is almost certain that his corpse is in

CHICAGOANS MYSFIFIED.
A SUDDEN TRANSITION FROn DAY
TO NIGHT.
Rain, Clouds, Fog, Humidity and
Smoke Sends Black Shadow
Over the City.

CHICAGO, March 20-Rain. clouds,
fogs, humidity and smoke mixed I'D
between 4 and o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon and sent a black shadow over
the city. Thousands of citizens were
startled and mystified by the sudden
transition from day to night and
thought a cyclone was coming. In
few minutes the sun shone again. Then
for four times like a succession Of
tidal waves the darkness swept over
the city and lost itself in the gray cloud
that hung over the Lake Each wave
was less dense than its predecessor,
but each one was still dense enough to
compel attention until it had rolled it's
course and vanished
During the first spell there were any
number of collisions between street
cars and other vehicles. Many per-
sons were caught in dangerous places
in front of vehicles, and the crossing
police were in a quandary, out of which
they were only rescued by the return
of light When traffic was resumed,
after the resumption of daylight, the
street cars that came from the other
divisions to the South Side were
equipped with headlights and filled
with nervous passengers. Gripmen and
motormen had been compelled to feel
their way along.
The harbor was one of the darkest
spots in the city. The wind lifted up
and deposited an unusually large lot of
smoke and fog and clouds there. and,
in fact, all along the lake shore On
the North Side women in their homes
were seriously frightened So were the
men. for some of them climbed into
their cyclone cellars.
The first rumor that got abroad when
it was light enough to find ones way
about was that there had been a cy-
clone in South Chicago, where havoc
had been played. But prompt inves-
tigation showed this to be untrue. while
equally prompt reports came in from
other sections and many suburbs that
there had been darkness, but no dam
lage.

TARIFF BILL.
No Effort Being rIade to Make the
Wool Schedule Operative at Once.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee are making no effort
to forward the plan which has been
talked of among them to push through
Congress a special bill to make the wool
schedule of the new Tariff Act oper-
alive at once. They are dissuaded from
this by the apparent ho!,-fulness of be-
ing able to secure early action from the
Senate.
1t is still the plan of the Repub-
dlcan leaders to enact that all goods in
bond at the date when the new tariff
becomes operative shall pay the rates
of that tariff, instead of the rates in eff
feet when the goods are entered. This
probably will be brought about by an
amendment added to the bill at the last
practicable moment, as the Republic
ans do not desire to induce the with
drawal of bonded goods before the
higher rates go into effect.

CAUGHT THE WHALE.
Three Hours of Hard Fighting Brought

Three Hours of Hard Fighting Brought
Victory to the Fishermen.
There she blows!" That was the
cry heard through Amagansett, l., l.,
few mornings ago. The signal flag
of red was run up and was quickly re-
sponded to by the crews belonging to
the whaling boats along the shore be-
tween East Hampton and Amagansett,
says the New York Journal. Lately
whales have appeared in this vicinity,
and numerous attempts have been made
to catch one, but without success. Two
were again sighted that morning OPP
posite Amagansett and five boats were
soon in hot pursuit. The whales were
about one and half miles off shore.
After an exciting chase until noon one
of the captains got close enough to the
largest whale to harpoon him. He was
opposite Napeague life-saving station
when struck and the men soon had
three lines attached to him. Then be-
gan an exciting battle between the men
and the sea monster, Time and again
the whale attempted to carry the men
out on the ocean, and repeatedly the
whalemen would stab him with the
harpoon. 1t was dangerous sport, and
to the onlookers from the beach it
seemed as though the boats would be
wrecked every time the whale rose to
the surface. He made savage lunges
with his tail, lashing the water to a
foam and spOuting to a great height.
After thnee hours hard fighting the
whale showed signs of weakening and
began to spout blood in the air. At
4:30 O'Clock the crew succeeded in
landing the whale on the beach. He
measured forty-five feet and will prob
ably make forty barrels of oil. The
captors expect to realize very large
sum for him. The unusual sight drew
crowds to the beach from neighboring
villages and the hotels and livery sta
bles made preparations for grand
rush Of visitors the next day.

AS instancing the antagonistic atti-
tude of Austria to all American arti-
cles, Consul-General Max judd ut Vi
emma, calls the attention of the State
Department to an intended tariff meas
ure preventing further importation OF
glucose into Austria-Hungary. All
producers of glucose in Austria have
formed trust. The market price OF
syrup mas been made by them Fl forms
($S.4D per 100 Kilograms (22O.4G
pounds. This price has enabled Am
erican producers to sell their syrup,
which is even better in quality, at a
lower figure. The trust, seeing them
selves undersold, have now urged the
government to assist them, and have
succeeded in the effort. The duty on
glucose or syrup has been six florins
in gold ($2.99) on 100 kilograms (220,46
pounds. A new tariff, to go into effect
January /, has now been published,
making the duty Is forms in gold
($7.23). This rate" says the consul
general, sis on glucose from all coun-
tries, but 1t is aimed only against the
United States, for it is only with syrup
from our country that the syrup trust
(home producers cannot compete,
American syrup is sold, landed in Ham
burg, per 100 Kilograms at 1850 marks
($2.971s). The import duty for Aus
tria being also six forms in gold
$500 and freight from Hamburg to
Austria amounting to about one form
makes the entire cost of 100 Kilograms
Of American syrup landed in Austria
about $40 against the trust price Of
syrup of 81 forms ($S.44). This new
duty will at once shut us out from
further sale of syrup. 1t has been this
way with other articles for which
Americans found foreign market. Il
1t was not tariff measure, some othel
obstacles have crippled their efforts t.
maintain the trade"

All criminologists agree that indl-
rect suggestion is one of the surest
ways Of melting to crime; and an emf
nent French writer has published a
volume on the "Contagion Of Murder"
In which he traces cases Of homicldal
mania induced by pictures of assassi-
nation. The regular reader Of many
modern newspapers might imagine that
the world is much worse than 1t used
to be- This would be mistake. The
difference is not only that the newspa-
pers exaggerate, and sometimes invent
details Of crime, but that the facilities
for collecting news are so much bet
ter than formerly that everything is
reported. There is no part of the news
papers of the day which can be more
proftably skipped than the detailed
narratives of crime; and newspapers
which make a speciality Of the evil
there is in the world should not be TAX
