THE ARIZONA KICKER.

When the Boston Ideal Dramatic COM
pany reached this town last Monday to
play three-night engagement we had a
little talk with the manager and tried To
make il plain To him what our people
wanted in the line of theatricals. The
man gave US TO understand that he knew
his business and wanted no advice. The
play was the Merchant of Venice" and
when we saw the curtain go up we knew
what would happen. The boyson the front
seats waited for the Indians TO appear, bus
none showed up. They hung on In hopes
of a clog dance. but no one shifflued-

even going to be a view OF Niagara Falls

minutes the house was empty and the ac-

THE BRIDGE WAS SAFE.

The train was booming along at the rate
of forty miles an hour toward Big Creek,
when the air brakes " ere suddenly applied
and we came to stop in a manner that
made every pass enger understand there was
danger ahead. A number OF US got down
with the conductor and ran ahead to the

the conductor.

THE TARIFF BILL.

The Senate yesterday came to an
agreement to take a vote on the tariff
DILL before adjournment to day. Mr..
Aliens amendment for a bounty on
beet sugar was laid on the table by a
vote OF 81 to 9, the populists and silver
republicans being the only ones record.
ed against the motion to table. All
the antitrust amendments were voted
down. The bill, after being voted on
TO day, will then 60 to the conference
committees of the two houses. 1t is
not thought the bill will remain in con-
ference more than week.
the measure will go to the conference
in about the same shape the Senate
left it at adjournment yesterday even
ing. While there is general feeling of
relief upon both sides of the chamber
that the long discussion is about over,
the republicans, it is understood, are
little better satisfied with their meas
nre than are the democrats themselves.
1t has been pulled first one way and
then another in order to satisfy, if pos
sible, so many conflicting opinions that
there is hardly an individual member
of the republican side who regards the
measure as satisfactory. Mr.. Aldrich
is quoted as saying it is the worst tariff
measure ever framed.
1t is limited in some circles, and nota-
bly, among the silver Senators, that the
republicans would not be at all anxious
to pass any tariff measure this session,
provided the responsibility for it's de.
feat could be thrown on the shoulders
of the opposition. The rumor that
free coinage rider would be introduced
by the populists or some silver Senator
gave rise to the opinion that that would
defeat the tariff bill. The scheme was
found, however, to be Intellectual, as
there were forty-three straightout re-
publicans and three gold democrats
who would vote against such an amend
ment, and it had to be abandoned.
The House is expected to win in con-
ference on the sugar schedule and the
Senate certainly on the duty on hides,
while compromise will be made on
the wool duty. The revenue.raising
internal taxes put on by the Senate will
probably all remain.

THE MINERS STRIKE.

The action of the West Virginia
miners yesterday leaves little hope
that the big coal strike will be on.
Aside from about one hundred men at
Moundsville, who refused to work yes
terday morning, but who are expected
to 60 ir to-day, not man in West Vir-
GINA paid the slightest attention to the
order of the United Mine Workers. All
over the State the operators are putting
in extra men, with view of filling any
demand that may come, and the miners
seem anxious to make as much as pos
sible out of the idleness of their fellows
elsewhere.
An unexpected step was taken at
Cincinnati yesterday in connection with
the coal miners strike, which puts the
power of the United States against all
violence or unlawful acts by strikers in
at least portion of Ohio. An order of
the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of Ohio was issued by
Judge Taft upon representation by My
ron T. Herrick and Robert BlickeDsder.

FIREMEN AT WINCHESTER.

The 6reman's convention, now in
session in Winchester is the largest of
its kind ever held in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, and the parade to-day was the
most magnificent ever witnessed in that
section. Organizations are present
from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vsnis.
AS an opening at the State fremen's
convention the magnificent new Rouss
engine house at Winchester was opened
Monday night with appropriate e1er-
cises. The incoming fremen, with
about 200 ladies, crowded the building
to hear addresses by Rev. A. P. Dane,
Capt. ]. T. b. Baker, Capt. Bell, and
Lieut.. Willis. Capt Baker paid de.
served tribute to the muni6cence of
the 6remen's friend, G. B. Rouss, of
New York, who contributed the largest
portion to it's construction, and in honor
of whom it is named.
