EURopE's PEACE IN JEOPARDY.
Russia Favors Blockading Greece and
Thus stop Complications.

st. Petersburg, March 27.-The MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps here now
greatly apprehend serious complications
in Macedonia, which will jeopardize the
peace of Europe. Although recognize
ing that the chief danger lies in that
direction, the proposal of Great Britain
to establish neutral zone on the Greek
frontier is regarded as inefiicacious and
impracticable. 1t is urged here that II
would be preferable to accelerate the
pacification of Crete by Immediately
blockading the coast of Greece and thus
nip in the bud the development of COM
plications in Macedonia.

Hepburn Explains.

Hepburn, Rep, raised laugh on the
Democratic side by saying that this
amendment If adopted would defeat the
purpose of the BILL Don't laugh" he
shouted, waving his hand. He went on
to explain how easily it would be for
n few men who really desired free wool
and free sugar to effect a combination
to raise the prices of sugar and wool
and thus under the amendment force
those articles to the free list.
Bailey thanked Hepburn for his frank
admission that the destruction OF trusts
would interfere with the purpose or the
bill. ooh, no." said Hepburn, Il was
trying to show that under the pretense
of creating a trust this legislation could
be destroyed"
But could not the courts decide be-
tween a sham trust and a real trust?
asked Terry, Dem.
'T suppose the courts could" replied
Hepburn.
But shall the revenues of the coun-
try be destroyed because of the exist
ence in violation of law of real trust
Trusts are illegal. Their creators are
criminals. Shall we place the treas

the Democrats.

offered a substitute for the Dockery
amendment, in substance to accomplish
the same purpose, but containing def

determination Of its existence by a
court.
IF you are anxious to incorporate
such a provision as this in the bill why
did you not insert ii in the present

laughter. He challenged the other side

TARIFF CONSIDERATION
The Dingley Bill Thrown Open

UNDER THE FIyE-MINUTE RULE.

Lanham Moves to Strike Out the Enab-
ling Clause but His Motion Is Declared
Out of Order-First Amendment to the
Measure offered by Dockery-It Is Also
Declared Out of Order-RemariSs Made
by the Representatives-Cap Notes.
Washington, March 27,-The real con-
sideration of the tariff bill began Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock when the bill
was thrown open for amendment under
the five minute rule. The leaders on
both sides were i'm their places, but
there was hardly more than seventy
members on the floor. Lanham, DEM.
as soon as the enabling clause of the
bill was read moved to strike it out.
Sherman Rep, who was in the chair,
ruled that the motion was out Of order.
Dockery, Dem, offered the first amend
ment 1t was to the enacting clause
and was in the nature of proviso that
whenever ii was shown to the satisfac-
tion Of the president that there was a
trust or combination to control the price
of any article on the dutiable list the
duty on such article should be sus-
pended. Dingley made the point OF or
der that the amendment in effect was
to the free list and as the house was
now considering the dutiable list, 1t was
out of order.

IDENTIFY been aroused by the singular alb
tinguished, but sardonic-looking off
Ger. But the next moment he was sin
gularly interested.
a tall young woman had Just moved
into the center of the room with an in
dolent yet simple gracefulness that
seemed familiar to him. \ change in
her position suddenly revealed her face.
1t was Miss Faulkner. Previously he
had only known her in the riding habit
of confederate gray which she had at
first affected, or in the light morning
muslin dress she had worn at Gray
Oaks. 1t seemed to him tonight that
the careless elegance of her full dress
became her still more; that the pretty
willfulncss of her chin and shoulders
was chastened and modified by the
pearls round her fair throat. Suddenly
their eyes met; her face paled visibly:
he fancied that she almost leaned
against her companion for support;
then she met his glance again with
face into which the color had as sud-
denly rushed, butwith eyes thatseemed
to be appealing to him, even to the
point of pain and fright. Brant was
not conceited: he could see that the
girls agitation was not the effect of
recognition, but of something else. He
turned hastily away; when he looked
around again she was gone.
Nevertheless he felt filled with a
vague irritation. Did she think him
such fool as to imperil her safety by
openly recognizing her without her
consent? Did she think that he would
dare to presume upon the service she
had done him? Or, more outrageous
thought!-had she heard of his dis
grace, known its cause and feared that
save himself? No! no-she could not
think that! She had perhaps regretted
what she had done in freak of girlish
chivalry; she had returned to her old
feelings and craftsmanship; she was
only startled at meeting the single
witness of her folly. Well, she need
not fear! He would studiously
avoid her hereafter, and she should
know it. And yet-yes, there was
yet" For he could not forget-in-
deed, in the past three weeks it had been
more often before him than he cared
to think-that she was the one human
being who had been capable of a great
act of self-sacrifice for him-her
enemy, her accuser-the man who had
scarcely treated her civilly. He was
ashamed to remember now that this
thought had occurred to him at the
bedside of his wife-at the hour of her
escape--even on the fatal slope on which
he had been struck down. And now
this fond illusion must go with the
rest-the girl who had served him SO
Loyalty was ashamed of it! A bitter
smile crossed his face.

PUBLIC attention has never been di-
fected in an adequate manner, the Chi
cago Tribune says, to the dangers
which exists in the careless hanciing
of money. Owing to its rapidly circu-
lating nature and to the many I'M
clearly places in which it is constantly
being concealed and carried, the coin
of the realm possesses advantages in
the dissemination of infectious diseases
not inherent in any other object of
public utility. For this reason it
should be regarded as possible source
of contagion at all times, and should
be handled with the most serious con.

CHAPTER III.

When Brant returned to his hotel
there was an augmented respect in the
voice of the clerk as he handed him a
note with the remark that it had been
left by Senator Boompointer's coach
man. He had no difficulty in recogniz-
ing Snsy's peculiarly BrobdingnagiaD

very triviality-so expressive of her
characteristic responsibility = that
had always affected him at such mo-
ments. Again, as at Robes, he felt it re-
| act against his own ethics. Was she not
right in her delightful materialism
Was she not happier than if she had
been consistently trueto Mrs. Peyton. to
the convent, to the episode of her the
atrical career, to jim Hookcr-evcn to
himself? And did he conscientiously be-
lieve that Hooker or himself had suf-
fered for her Inconsistency? No: From
all that he had heard she was suita-
BILE helpmeet to the senator, in her So
cial attractiveness, her charming osten-
tations. her engaging vanity that dis
armed suspicion, and her lack of re-
sponsibility even in her partisanship.
Nobody even dared to hold the senator
responsible for her promises, even while
enjoying the fellowship of both. and it
is said that the worthy man singularly
profited by it. Looking upon it merely
as phase of Washington society, Brant
resolved to go.
The moon was high as the carriags
whirled him out OF the still sitting ave-
nues towards the soldiers home-a syl.
van suburb frequented by cabinet min =,
listers and the president-whcre the
good senator had "decreed" like Kubia
Khan, "a stately pleasure dome" to en-
terrain his friends and partisans. AS
they approached the house the trem-
bling light, like firehies through the
leaves, the warm silence broken only by
military band playing a drowsy waltz
On the veranda, and the heavy odors of
jesSamine in the air, thrilled Brant with
4 sense of shame as he thought of his
old comrades in the field. But this was
presently dissipated by the uniforms
that met him in the hall, with the pres
ence of some of his distinguished SUI
periors. At the head of the stairs, with
Il circling background of the shining
crosses and ribbons of the diplomatic
corps, stood Susy-her bare arms and
neck glittering with diamonds, her face
radiant with childlike vivacity. A sig
niticant pressure of her little glove as
he made his bow seemed to be his only
welcome, but moment later she
caught his arm. you've yet to know
him., she said, in half whisper; Ike
thinks good deal of himself-just like
Jim. But he makes others believe il,
and that's where poor Jim slipped up"
She paused before the man thus char
acteristically disposed of and presented
Rrant. 1t was the man he had seen be
fore-material, capable, dogmatic. A
glance from his shrewd eyes-accus-
toned to the weighing of mems weak
nesses and ambitions, and few hurried
phrases apparently satisfied him that
Brant was not at the moment important
or available, and the two men moment
later drifted easily apart. Brant saun-
tered listlessly through the crowded
rooms, half remorsefully conscious
that he had taken some irrevocable
step, and none the less assured by the
presence of two or three reporters and
correspondents who were logging his
steps or the glances of two or three
pretty women whose curiosity had evil
