The action of General Walker, chair
man of Election Committee No. 2, in
Insisting that all the contestecs APP
pear before his committee on Tuesday
next. with counsel, has had the effect
of disarranging all the plans made by
Senator Daniel about his Richmond
trip. Senator Daniel is the leading
counsel for Representative Swanson in
his contest, and true TO his friendship
WILL not allow his personal inclinutlons
and desires TO interfere with his duty.
As General Walker would not change
his programme Senator Daniel has
changed his and will defer his visit to
Richmond to some time when 1t will be
more convenient. He will decide In a
day or two us to when he will visit
ltphmond, which will be in the near
future, and then all the Democratic
members of the delegation can accom-
pany him. as they could not now with
the hearing of their cases (Eppes and
Young pending the same day as that
Of Mr.. Swanson.
These three Virginia contests are at
tracing some attention among Virginia
Republicans. On their face and on
their merits the cases are all in favor
or the sitting members-Young, Eppes
and Swanson-but Republicans here

All The Virginia contestees say that
they do rot believe that even Mr.
Reeds House can afford to unseat them
In face of the facts.

senator Martin appeared for the first

self as well satisfied with his prospects
10 succeed himself iii the Senate. His
confidence Is shared by most members
or the Virginia delegation
The debate in Congress on the pom
sion Bill has brought out, as could not
nave been done in 2ny other way. the
dishonest methods used by the Urea
sury to create the impression that the
ioingiey tariff act produces revenue
| Suiiicient To meet expenses.
Each day the Urea sury issues 4 state
ment. and that for yesterday shows
that the deficit for the fiscal year to
date is only $20091 900. In reaching this
result the Treasury counts In $2S, 2sS, 900
received from the partial payments
made on account of the Pacific railroad,
and leaves the impression that IT is de-
rived from the tariff bill.
This, added to the deficit as it now Is
stated. as it should be, makes the de-
felt $4S,@74 900, and bears out Mr.. AL
lens figures that by the end OF the
fiscal year the Treasury deficit from the
DinGley act Will exceed $75,000,0 900.
There IS more than passing s!gn!n-
canoe IN the selection of Senator Dan

A BOY WITH NERVE.

Fred Lawson, Five Years Old, CIlngs to the
Tie OF a Trestle and Saves His Life.
CHICAGO, May 12.--Fred Lawson, Ave
years old, the son of resident of Edge
water park, was crossing the Northern
Pacific railroad bridge at that point
yesterday afternoon when the sharp
whistle of an express train caused him
to stop short in alarm. Turning his
head he beheld swiftly-moving train
approaching from the east, the ties be-
meath his feet quivering as the engine
Numbered on to the trestlework. Es-
cape seemed impossible, and for sec
ond the boy was stricken with the ter
ror of impending death. Acting upon
sudden impulse, however, he threw
himself fat upon the ends of the ties
outside the rails and chung desperately
to the projecting timber. The whole
bridge vibrated as the train sped on
its way, but the child chung to his POI
sition until the last car had passed.
Spectators Of the incident were horri-
fed at the boys peril, for the project
ing gear of the car aXles almost brushed
his back as he lay upon the ties. The
danger passed. they came to his assist
ance and led him in triumph to his
home

taken out of Kansas $23, 1000, 1000 more
than they have paid in losses and bene-
fits. He believes something ought to
be done to encourage home insurance.
