TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 6, 1897

SESSION of Congress is very ex-
nensive and the expense has to be paid
nv taxes imposed chiefly on the articles
the people of the country must buy
in order to live. But while one branch
of Congress, having passed a bill by
which the rich manufacturers may be
enabled to repay themselves for the
contributions they made to the fund by
which the election of Mr.. Mckinley was
bought and seat in the Senate was
purchased for Mr.. Hanna, at the ex-
nense of their poor neighbors, now re-
fuses to do anything else, and adjourns
for three DAYS at time in order to make
that refusal absolute, the other branch
deyotes its time to long discussion OF
resolutions relating to the affairs OF
other countries, and threatening such
countries with the displeasure OF the
United States if they punish their own
citizens for gross aDd fragrant vio-
lations of their own laws. However,
vox populi. vox Del, no matter by what
means the former voice may be obtain
ed and as the people declared
in favor of the republicans last Novem-
Der, they must abide the consequences
of their own act.

IuNcHR1rRe,s DEBr.-Four hundre,

LYNCHBURG's DEBT.-Four hundred
and twenty-five 81 900 bonds of Lynch
burg under resolution of the city
council directing the finance committee
to refund that portion of the city's debt,
were sold yesterday. All of the bonds
were purchased by E. H. Rollins & Son,
of Boston, and sperry, Jones & Co., OF
Baltimore, who made four separate
bids, the one accepted being for Al per
cent not taxable bonds at total of
1926, 657 so. The bonds refunded bore
an interest offs per cent, so that the
city not only makes considerable sum
by the transaction. but the interest
which she has to pay on them is reduced
one-half of per cent. The sale is
probably the largest one of the kind
ever held there, and its results are ex-
ceedingly gratifying as showing the
city's credit.

The election in Cincinnati yesterday
was for mayor and other city officers
and members of the board of legisla-
lion. The democratic ticket, headed
by Gustav Tafel, was elected by plu-
rality OF Z 800, while the city gave Nc
Kinley plurality of almost 10000 last
November, and Cal iwell, republican,
for mayor three years ago, plurality
of 6,755.
The democrats carried Columbus,
electing Samuel l.. Black by 400 votes
over En,aett Tompkins, republican,
aud their entire city ticket, except
judge of the police court.
Canton, the home of Mckinley, yes
terday went democratic, Mayor Rec

At GAINESVILLE, Ohio, the entire demo-
cratic city ticket was yesterday elected

troll every branch of the city govern
ment.

democrat, was elected mayor yester-
day by about 900 majority over Capt.
Albert E. Stewart, republican.
AT Battle Creek, Mich, the silver
men elected DR.. Metcalf mayor by
500 majority, and carried the city
ticket. Yaple has 400 majority. Last
fall Mckinley carried the city by 1926
majority.
The democrats and silver men made
big gains and elected their tickets in
several other places in Ohio and
Michigan.
The result of the municipal elections
in Montana shows the surprising de-
generacy of the populist party, the
democrats, as rule, carrying the
cities, while the republicans carried
the country districts.
In Dubuque, Iowa, the Independents
elect mayor, recorder, treasurer, and
two aldermen. The democrats elect
city attorney and three aldermen. The
council will be controlled by the demo
Gratis.
In Evansville, Ind., the democrats
elected William NJ. Akin, jr., mayor
and eleven councilmen. The city went
republican in November last.

Gratis elected their ticket in Stamford
and made gains in other towns.
Spring elections were held in several
Maryland towns yesterday. In Frost
burg the democrats won and in several
other towns they made big gains,
though party lines were not drawn.

In the Senate to day Mr.. Cullom pre-
sented a petition of the Seed Trade
committee. of Richmond, Virginia,
against The further distribution of
seed by the Agricultural Depart.
ment. A bill for the improvement of
the NAVIGATION of the Eastern Branch
was introduced.
The arbitration treaty has been so
eviscerated thae all interest in its rati-
6cation has been lost, and the post
ponement of its further consideration,
therefore, until next week, is matter
of no apparent concern to any body.
The most sanguine advocate of the
tariff bill doesn't expect that bill to
come out of the room of the finance
committee of the Senate for at least a
month. Though the Senate commit
tees are not half full, bills, resolutions
and petitions are being referred to them
as though they all had their full COM
| plement of members.
While the President Is on his outing this

THE U. S. SENATE yesterday
passed a resolution declaring it the
duty of the President to protest to
Spain against the reported determine
ton of the government of that country
to punish one of its insurgent sub
iects. Did any foreign government
protest to England against the punish
ment of men engaged in the insurrec-
tions in that country in rs and '45 ? But
to come to latter years, and nearer
home, did any foreign government pro-
test TO the United States against the
murder of Captain Wirz or of Mrs. Sur
raft. and that, too, not during the heat
of war, but after the Confederates had
surrendered? Is all the wisdom of the
entire world confined 10 the U. S. Sem
ate? Has any of the older and more
experienced countries interfered be-
tween Spain and her negro and scala
wag insurgent subjects? No wonder
this country has no friend among all
the others in the world.

A FIGHT FOR G1RL.-There wa

A FIGHT FOR GIRL.-There was
an unusual scene witnessed in Rutter's
Grove, Wilkesbarre, Pa, Saturday
night. The event was pugilistic en-
counter between two young fellows to
ascertain which one was the better man {,
and to decide who was to take the girl
that both men have been paying court
to for some time.
The young men were named Regan
and Lyons. On Saturday Regan and
Lyons met in Wilkesbsrre, and the
love feud was renewed. The argu-
ments became more heated, and at last
they challenged each other to fight to
finish, and the winner to take the
girl. They hurriedly collected few Of
their friends, and away they sped to
Rutter's Grove, where the crowd form
ed ring, while the men took oil their
coats and vests. Both men were in
good shape, and seemed eager for the
fray, and the crowd had hard work to
keep them apart until time was called.
They went at each other like two
tigers. 1t was give and take, without
the least semblance of science or art,
and it was regular rough-and-tumble
affair. In less than three minutes by
the watch Regan got an awful blow un-
der the eye that drew. blood, and he at
once gave up. Lyons was declared the
winner, and he and his friends returned
to Wilkesbarre to celebrate the event.

The kentucky Senatorial Fight.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 6.-The fea-
ture of to-day's joint session was the
nomination of State Senator Henry u.
Martin, gold democrat, of Woodford
county, for United States Senator. The
nomination was made by Senator Ellis
ton, who said the solution Of the dead
lock was in the hands of the demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Elliston cast his vote for
Martin and appealed to the silver DEM
Gratis to do likewise, but they immedi-
ately stopped voting. The sound
money democrats voted for Martin and
the boiling republicans followed the
example of the silver democrats and re-
fused to answer to their names.
Senator Gilmore, silver democrat,
voted for Blackburn and the republi-
cans would not allow him to withdraw
his vote to prevent q quorum. A re-
capitulation of the vote was called for
and the Black burn democrats and the
boiling republicans began voting again.
Representative Johns was the only
silver democrat TO vote for Martin.
The vote stood: Hunter. 50; Black burn,
~; Martin, II; Boyle, 6; Stone l. Nee
essary to choice 63. Hunter had his
50 votes when the first roll call ended
and 70 votes which constituted quo.
rum had been cast. Had there
been no call of absentees and if
the silver democrats and boiling re-
publicans had refused to vote on re-
capitulation, Hunter would have been
declared elected. The joint session ad-
journed as soon as the result was an
nounced.
Partial returns from the 34th senate
rial district indicate the election of
Milt. Hage, silver democrat, to succeed
the late Senator Salyers, gold democrat.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, April 6.
SENATE,

SEM lGs
In the opening proceedings of the
Senate to-day Mr.. Allison, chairman OF
the committee on appropriations, re-
ported with amendments the sundry
civil bill, giving notice that he would
call it up some time next week.
MIR. Earl, on behalf of the new Sena-
tors, asked reorganization of the Sem
ate committees so as to give representa-
ton to those not now placed upon any
committee. He offered a resolution
providing that the Senate should meet
at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for this
purpose.
Under objection, the resolution went
over until tomorrow. -
Mr.. Vest attempted to spring tariff
discussion by asking immediate con-
sideration of resolution calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury to state
whether he had issued any orders un-
der the retroactive clause of the Ding
ley bill and if so upon what authority.
The veteran author of the tariff OF
1862 (Mr. Morrill, of Vermont) prompt
ly objected to the resolution and it went
over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Morgan then called up his reso-
luton recognizing the existence of q
state OF public war in Cuba and began
an extended speech thereon.
Mr.. Morgan's remarks were temper.
ate in tone. He commented on the
fact that this was the third time within
century that citizens of the United
States mad suffered by the existence
of q state of war in Cuba; and he ex-
pressed his opinion that iu the present
war at least the government of the
United States in its efforts to enforce
its own laws had inflicted injustice on
its own citizens. The sole object OF
his resolution was to put the govern
ment of the United States in it's proper
legal attitude to the government OF
Spain so as to enable us to take care OF
our own citizens.
