Is There Irrigation In Mars.

It would seem that the planet Mara is now in condition to which the earth must come. It is struggling against the gradual disappearance of water on its surface and in its atmosphere. There is ao weather there, for there is no rain and there are no winds. Dew in winter is deposited on its poles in the form of snow. The rest of the planet consists of deserts with very slight elevations. The inhabitants have met this state of things by gigantic system of irrigation. What we call canals are irrigated dis rricts about 80 miles wide, with canal running through them, from which wa ter is distributed. Here and there are large oases of irrigation, and these oases are connected with each other by means of the canals. When the snows of the poles melt, the melted water is distrib- uted over the planet, and thus crops are produced. The inhabitants store up food and water for that part of the year when there is neither water nor yegeta- tion. So rarefed is the atmosphere that one of these inhabitants can work at one-twentieth the exertion that 1t costs us, or, in other words, perform with the same expenditure of strength 20 times the task.-London Truth.

The Past Weeks Proceedings.

Washington, May 27-The first vote on the tariff bill has been taken in the senate. It came after a two hours de- bate on the item of boracic acid, which although comparatively unimportant, afforded an opportunity for the first alignment of the various elements.
 MT. Vest of Missouri, a Democratic member of the finance committee, nov ed to make the rate on boracic acid 8 cents instead of cents per pound, as provided by the committee. This pre- sented a direct issue between the com mittee and the opponents of the bill. The amendment was defeated by the following vote: Yeas, 20; nays, 34.
 The resolution was agreed to author izing the secretary of the navy to em- ploy any suitable ship in forwarding relief supplies to India.
 Washington, May 28.-The senate made good progress on the tariff bill, disposing of about 10 pages. Several votes were taken during the session, the finance committee being sustained in each case by majorities varying from to 15. The final conference report on the sundry civil bill was agreed to, ip- cluding the provision suspending until March 1, 1898, the executive order creat- ing extensive forest reserves. The vote was: Yeas, 32; nays, 25.
 The house held only brief session. MT. Lewis (Dem.) of Washington en- deavored to get consideration of Gu ban belligerency resolution under a question of privilege, but was ruled out If order. He appealed from the ruling. euI was defeated by a vote of 91 to 57
 Washington, May 29.-After a long period of silence Senator Tillman of South Carolina startled the senate by a speech no less dramatic in its delivery than sensational in it's allegations. He preceded 1t by presenting resolution for the appointment of a special com- mittee of five senators to investigate charges of speculation by senators while the tariff bill was before the finance committee.
 The resolution also provides for an inquiry as to whether the Sugar trust 'has in anywise contributed to or con- trolled the election of a senator in this body at any time."
 MT. Tillman supported his resolution In a fiery speech, which made de- cided sensation.
 MT. Aldrich, in charge of the tariff bill, answered MT. Tillman in a sweep ing denial of all irregularity on the part of the finance committee and a specific denial of charges that the Sug- ar trust had dictated the sugar sched- ule of the tariff bill.

FLYING FROM INDIANS.
Many White Families In Montana Seek Refuge In Miles City.

Many White Families In Montana Seek Refuge In Miles City.
 Miles City. Mon, June 2.-Twenty more families living on the Upper Tongue river have arrived in town. seeking refuge from the Indians. They say that about 125 Indians. with White Bull as their leader, have escaped from the reservation and that they are well armed with rifles and are looking for white mems scalps. About 300 settlers, also armed with rifles, were to join the sheriff and hls deputies not far from the reservation, and if they encounter White Bull and his followers bloodshed will surely result
 The sisters of the convent at the mis- sion near the reservation sought safety In flight. They arrived in this city and will remain until the trouble is ended.
 The Indians have sent word to the commanding officer at Fort Keogh that the killing of Hoover was done by the cattlemen and that the blame was put on the Indians.
 This story Is not true. as no trouble exists between the cattlemen and the sheepmen in this section of the coun- try. The killing was done with a gov errment rifle in the hands of the In- dlans, as shells were found only a few yards away from their victim. and Badger. a Carlisle graduate has al- ready confessed and dofled arrest. The remaining settlers on Upper | Tongue river sent a courier to Fort Keogh with a request to the command ing officer to send troops to protect them. He returned with the reply that there were no soldiers to spare. There is great indignation among the settlers and townspeople because the United States army Is said to be protecting the Indians and not the white people.

A Dog Makes Sunday Visits.

A bright terrier dog owned at the American House, Pittsfeld, Mass, is known at the Maplewood as Billy. The dog every Sunday morning goes to the Maplewood and stays in the cashiers s office, but never goes away from the American on other days unless taken to the Maplewood. Sundays, as regularly as that day comes, in the season, the ami nal takes up his early march for the other house, remains all day and re- turns This he has done for the past few seasons, and so regularly that the guests at the Maplewood have become familiar with him and his peculiarities. Now they are asking how the dog knows the difference between Sunday and other days, as his visits are made before the church bells begin to ring. Boston Herald.

A Barbaric Dress.

While at Ralmoral the czar on one occasion is said to have appeared in highland dress, out of compliment to Queen Victoria, but his suit did not i'm. itate him. The queen's affection for all things that savor of highland life is we'll known, and her sons and grand. sons habitually don the kilt when on Deeside. Perhaps, next to the Prince of Wales, the most distinguished wearers of it are the Marquis of Lorne and the little Prince Alexander. It is said that the Duke of York, while in Moscow last summer to attend the czar's coronation, appeared at semioffioial reception in the costume of the highlanders and thereby incurred imperial displeasure. while the Muscovite journals spoke of i, as Ian immoiost and barbario dresa"

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

Seismic Disturbances Cause Some Con-
 sternation but No Damage.
 Washington, June IA distinct but slight earthquake was experienced yes terday afternoon throughout the south Atlantic and middle southern states. It Is stated at the weather bureau that the direction of the wave was from south to north, but reports received from va rious sections are conflicting. In some localities 1t Is stated the course of the disturbance was in an easterly to west erly direction, but the records of the instruments here are probably correct. The shock occurred, as nearly as has been estimated, at o'clock.
 In some localities the time is given as 1:58 and in others as late as 2:10, and its duration was less than a minute. As far as can be learned. Savannah was the farthest point south at which the tremor was felt. while the northern boundary of the wave was middle Maryland. West 1t was felt as far as Knoxville. The disturbance seems to have been most severe in the Appala- chian mountain region.
 In several places there was much con- sternation, and people were almost pam ic stricken, but there was no apprecia- ble damage at any place.

SHOT BY YOUNG LOVER.
A Strange Infatuation Leads to 8 Tragedy
 at Atlantic City.


 Atlantic City, June Mrs. Phoebe H. Phillips, proprietess of the Bennett House, fashionable boarding house on Ocean avenue, was shot and fatally wounded by Robert Hilbert.
 Mrs. Phillips is 43 years of age and has three grown children. Hibbert Is only p years of age. They both for merly lived at Kennett Square, Pa. Mrs. Phillips said in her antemortem statement that for some time Hilbert has been importuning her to marry him, but that she declined, owing to the disparity in their ages.
 He entered the kitchen where she was and almost immediately began to shoot at her. He fired five shots, four of which took effect. Hibbert then turn cd the revolver on himself and pointed at his head, but the weapon failed to explode. He then left the house and went to police headquarters, where he gave himself up.
 He could assign no cause for his act except that he thought Mrs. Phillips treated him coldly when he entered the house. He said he hoped she would die. The woman can live but a few hours. She pleads with those about her to save her assailant from punishment. She believed that Hilbert was not In his right mind.

 Never speculated In Sugar Stock Dur
 ing the Pending of Tariff Legislation.
 Lively Times In the House.
 Washington, June 2.-The senate made good progress on the tariff bill, advancing to the important metal schedule. During the session the para graphs covering marble, stone, china, glass, brick and tiles were completed, with few minor exceptions. Messrs. Vest and Jones of Arkansas, in behalf of the minority of the finance commit tee, proposed numerous amendments, which were defeated by matorities of from to IA.
 The votes were on party lines in the main, although Messrs. Rawlins and White (Dems.) voted with the Repub- licans to increase the rate on onyx, and MT. McEnery (Dem.) voted with the Republicans against MT. Jones' propo- sition for a reduction of the rates on china.
 As sequel to the recent sensational speech of MT. Tillman, NIT. Smith of New Jersey rose to question of per sonal privilege while the tariff debate was proceeding and made a brief but pointed denial of all speculation in sug-
 
 when sugar was the subject of legis- lation. MT. Tillman was among those who heard the denial, but he made no comment on it.
 Senator McLaurin of South Carolina was sworn in, raising the membership of the senate to 89. This establishes the personnel of the senate as 1t will remain for some time-viz: Republic ans, 43; Democrats, 34; Populists, q; silver Republicans, 5; vacancy, 1 (Ore- gon); total, go.
 Houses Lively Session.
 There was a lively session of the house. at which the policy of Speaker Reed and the Republican majority again were made the subjects of att tacks by members of the minority. MT. Richardson (Dem.) of Tennessee and MT Simpson (Pop.) of Kansas led the onslaught for the minority. The majority position was ably defended by Mir. Henderson (Rep.) of Iowa and MT. Grosvenor tRep) of Ohio.
 The appeal of MT. Lewis (Dem.) of Washington. taken last Thursday from the decision of the chair, that resolu- ton relating to foreign affairs did not constitute question of privilege, was laid on the table. and after the skirmish over the methods of procedure three special orders were successively adopt ed, by two of which the senate bills making special appropriation for the government printing office and for granting the secretary of the navy per- mission to contract with any two ves- sells to carry contributed supplies to In- dia were passed.
 The other provided for the considera- tion of the Frye bill to prevent col lislons upon harbors, rivers and inland waters of the United States connected with the ocean, but MT. Payne, in charge of the latter bill, was forced to abandon it for the day to avoid the point of no quorum.
 The conference report on the sundry civil bill was adopted.

 Chapman Langnishes In Jail.
 Washington, June 2.-The Sugar trust contempt cases, which have occupied much space in the public prints and at- tracted general interest for some time, are now practically ended.
 Elyerton R. Chapman is in jail for contempt of the senate, Henry O. Have meyer was acquitted last week, and yesterday John E. Searles, the compa- ny's secretary, was adjudged not guilty. The verdicts are the continuation of a long legal battle which began three years ago, when H. O. Havemeyer and John E. Searles, president and secreta- ry of the American Sugar company; B. K. Chapman, its broker, and E. J. Ed wards and J. S.. Schriver, newspaper correspondents, were indicted for re- fusing to furnish information which 1t was believed they possessed regarding the alleged illegal transactions of the 30 called Sugar trust.
