MOntanans Lent Money to Old Man
VancQ-HosS Coma

Montanans Lent Money to Old Man
Vance-He's Gone.
Great Falls, Mont, June %. - Old
man Vance of Logging Creek, WHO
claimed to have fallen heir to $4,000
600 in North Carolina, mysteriously
disappeared from the Milwaukee
house a week ago and for several days
search was made for his body. 1t has
developed that the old man hid HIM
self for several days on the West side
and on Tuesday last took a train for
Canada. He is now in Winnipeg. In
Logging Greek AMI Great Falls Vance
leaves several thousand dollars of
debt. Since circulating the story a
month ago, he borrowed money right
and left, and those willing to ingra-
tate themselves in the multi-million-
aires good graces were not wanting.
Several neighbors who were to ac-
company the old man to Europe re-
signed their positions on the Mon
tana Central railroad, and as these
have since been filled they are now
out of employment. One victim, be-
sides renting his ranch, loaned the old
man $500 until his money should ar
rive. Vance claimed to be nephew of
ex-senator Vance of North Carolina.

IN THE HOUSE.

After the approval of the journal
the house under a special rule adopted
a bill appropriating 100000 for the
repair Of dry dock No. at New York
which recently was discovered to be
leaking badly. Mr.. Latimer of South
Carolina asked unanimous consent to
have considered a bill declaring a
state capable Of entirely controlling
the liquor traffic. This Mr.. Stone OF
Pennsylvania said was an outgrowth
of a local fight in South Carolina in
which the courts had made a decision
and was not a proper matter for con-
sideration by the house. He objected
to it's consideration.
Mr.. Dingley, from the committee on
ways and means, presented a favor
able report Oh joint resolution pro-
vidirg that foreign exhibitors at the

WORK OF CONGRESS,
Condemned Proceedings of the Ma
tiON0l Law Mill.


Washington, June II. - The senate
made rapid work on the tariff bill.
There were no long speeches and the
debate was of snappy character,
which at times enlivened but did not
delay the serious work on the bill.
Thirteen pages were disposed of, car
rying the senate through the agricul-
turanl schedule and up to schedule H,
relating to spirits, wines, etc. During
the day the paragraphs on dairy prod
ucts, farm products, fish, fruit and
nuts, meat products and miscellane-
Gus agricultural products were acted
on. The finance committee proposed
many changes, in the main advancing
rates somewhat over those heretofore
reported. The committee was sus-
tanned on every vote, although a con-
test was made on almost every para
graph. Mr.. Vests motion to restore
salt to the free list was rejected-31 to
"a. The important paragraph propos-
ing a tax on tea went over at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Allison, who expressed
hope that this duty on tea might be
dispensed with.
The bill was laid aside at 5 o'clock
and message from the president was
announced Mr.. Davis Immediately
secured an executive session.

Washington, June 21.-The day was
rendered noteworthy in the senate by
the defeat Of the finance committee on
four important paragraphs in the flax,
hemp and jute schedule of the tariff
bill. These were the paragraphs re-
lating to floor mattings, plain jute
fabrics, burlaps and cotton bagging.
The Democrats were enabled to carry
their points against these paragraphs
by the assistance of the silver Repub-
licans and Populists and by the help
Of MeSsrs. Carter and HansbrOugh,
straight Republicans, on the para
graph relating to mating. 1t was the
first vote during the consideration OF
the bill on which any Republican had
broken away from the party, and nat
urally Occasioned some comment.
The flax question was taken up, the
pending question being on Mr. Alli-
sons motion to amend paragraph 1927,
relating to thread, Irvine, etc, made Of
flax, hemp OF remie, by substituting
for the senate rate the rate Of IA
cents per pound, and 7-S cents addi-

MI. Vest and Mr.. Jones contested the
proposed change, arguing that the
rates were excessive, while Mr.. ALI
