SESSION CONCLUDED.
The National Senate Adjourned the
Extra Session Sine Die.

Washington, March l2.-There was
an unusually large attendance of sena-
tors when Vice-President Hobart called
the senate to order at noon today. The
first business was the reading of let
ter from Governor Bradley, of Ken
lucky, announcing the appointment of
Andrew 7. Wood as senator to succeed
Blackburn. Hoar at once moved that
the senator-elect be sworn in. German
moved that his credentials be referred
to the committee on privileges and cleo
tions. Hoar said he would not object,
and the credentials were referred.
Then Hoar presented written notice
of two proposed amendments to the
rules of the senate of radical nature.
The most important was according to
Hoar's written notice "To enable the
senate to act on legislation when it de-
sires after reasonable debate" 1t
provides that when any bill or resolu-
tion had been under consideration for
more than one day, any senator could
demand that the debate be closed. If
majority of the senators desired, there
should be vote without further delay,
ana no motion should be In order, pend
ing vote, but one to adjourn or take
recess.
The other amendment proposed was
to prevent interruption of members of
the senate. 1t provides that when
senator makes point of no quorum,
there shall be roll call, and if the
presence of quorum is disclosed bust
ness should proceed.
A memorial was presented by Shoup
from the Idaho Legislature, asking for
the annexation of part of Wyoming.
1t was not read. Warren said if the
Wyoming Legislature had been informed
of the memorial, it would have taken
action.
1t was decided on motion of Hoar
that when the senate adjourned, it
should be until Monday at 11:30, but
in executive session the senate recon-
sidered its action and agreed that ad-
journment would be sine die. This
was found expedient, as no business
could be transacted in half an hour
Monday, and the nominations made in
that half hour would fail if not imme-
diately confirmed.
At 12:40 the special session ad-
journed.

Chicago, March 12.-In order to
avoid arrest, j. j. Duff turned vicious
dog loose on Officer Erickson yesterday,
and as result both are now in hospi-
tai and it is feared the policeman may
die.
Duff went home drunk, quarreled
with his wife, and, after beating her
severely, turned her from the house.
She complained to the police, and
Erickson was sent to arrest Duff. He
found the doors locked, but was ad-
mitted by small boy. Duff unloosed
the big dog and the animal leapel at
the officer. dragging him to the floor.
He bit him several times in the face,
lacerating the flesh. The policeman
succeeded in getting his revolver from
his pocket and fired, the bullet taking
effect in the lower part of Duff's abdo-,
men. The wounded man attempted
to seize the officers weapon and was
himself attacked by the dog. Both
men were lacerated by the dogs teeth,
and when other officers arrived Erick-
son was unconscious. The men were
removed to the hospital and the dog
killed.

WILSON'S FIRST ORDER.
Concerns Expectation of Beef to Euro
pean Ports.

Washington, March 1.-THE first

Washington, March 12.-Mr. Sher-
man has announced to his associates
that he is in fair way to make ar
rangements with Spain that will re-
move the great cause of irritation in
Cuba. He has submitted to the Span
ish government through Minister Tay-
lor proposition that American citizens
who are suspected or convicted of com
plicity with the insurgents shall be i'm
mediately expelled from the island
without imprisonment or prosecution,
unless they shall voluntarily return and
place themselves in jeopardy. The ar
rangement would not apply, however,
to persons engaged in active hostilities
or who have been taken with arms.

gotiate a treaty with Spain, by which
the rights OF naturalized citizens shall
be defined.

THE OGDEN GATEWAY.
A Rumor That the Short Line Will Soon
Open 1t.

Omaha, March 11.-Consternation
was caused in Union Pacific circles this
morning by the receipt of rumor from
Salt Lake City to the effect that it was
definitely known that the Ogden gate
way to the Utah, Idaho, Montana and
Oregon territory, now controlled by the
Union Pacific, would be opened to other
railroads soon after the Short Line COM
menced to transact business on its own
account. The news was most joyfully
received by the Burlington, the Rock
Island and the Missouri Pacific roads.
General Manager Dickinson, of the
Union Pacific, said
81 have no information on the mat
ter. Even should action be taken later,
the announcement at this time, while
the Oregon Short Line is a part of the
Union Pacific system, is premature, to
say the least. F"
General Passenger Agent Lomax, of
the Union Pacific, said:
1.-The question of opening the Ogden
gateway to other roads is one that prob
ably will not be decided by the Short
Line, management for several months
yet. l doubt if the policy of the road
on that point has as yet been considered.
The Short Line is part of the Union
Pacific, and that is about all can say"
General Manager Holdrege, OF the
Burlington & Missouri, said:
"This is good news. 1 hope it is
true. 1t would be good thing for the
Burlington, as well as other lines, for
it would let them all into a territory
where they desier very much to carry
on business"

Albany, N. Y, March 1.-THE reso-
luton of the joint committee on trusts,
which held several sessions in New
York city last month, was submitted to
the legislature today. 1t notes the fact
that the decision of Judge Swayne on
the federal constitution forbds action
on the part of individual states to abso-
lutely repress trusts, but expresses the
belief that the encouragement can, by
bringing action before the supreme
court judge. The bill which accom-
panies the report grants immunity to
witnesses who incriminate themselves,
and gives the supreme court subpoena
power. A bill may be introduced to
stop the factory system as used by the
sugar trust.
Senator McCarren filed minority re-
port generating the sugar trust and
saying the trust has made possible
lower prices for the commodity.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
VIII Be Introduced Soon After Con-
gress Assemblies.

Washington, March l1.-Chairma
Dingley, of the ways and means COM
mittee, today said that he expected that
the new tariff bill will be ready to in
troduce very soon after congress assem-
bles. Speaking OF the report that the
law might provide that the duties as
sessed should go into effect Immediately
on the introduction of the bill, Mr..
Dingley said it would be impossible,
under the constitution of the United
States, to make law retroactive. In
the United States, he said, imports
must be assessed according to the law on
the statute books at the time the goods
were imported. The law could provide
that goods still in bond should pay the
new duty if they had not been with
drawn from bond at the time the law
went into effect.
The committee had under consider
alton the sugar schedule, but reached
no conclusion regarding it.
The free-list SCHEDULE was completed.
Nearly all the remaining articles which
had not been disposed of, and which
were dutiable under the Mckinley law,
had been restored to the dutiable list
at rates somewhat less than the McKin-
ley rates. These additions to the dutia-
BILE list include some chemicals used in
the manufacture of soaps, and it may
be necessary to increase the duty which
had been placed on soaps in the first
draft of the bill, to make up for this
change as to raw materials.
The pottery schedule has not yet
been completed, and there is considera-
BILE question whether the ad valorem
rates of the Mckinley law shall be re-.
stored, or specific duties imposed.

IMPORTERS PANlC-STRICkEN.
Tariff Legislation Rumors Caused a
General Alarm.


General Alarm.
New York, March 12.-The World
says:
The dispatch from Washington pre-
dieting that congress at its special ses-
sion will at once increase the revenue
by adding from 10 to 35 per cent to the
schedules of the Wilson bill, has created
a small panic among importers, and an
almost unprecedented rush to get bond
ed goods out of the warehouses before
the increase takes effect.
The proposed summary action of con-
gress has taken merchants completely
by surprise. While they were prepared
for special session to pass new tariff
bill, they expected that the new bill
would occupy the attention of congress
for at least six months, which would
give them ample time to withdraw the
$500, 900 of goods which were in
bond on January 81. 1t had never oc-
CURED to them that congress might
adopt temporary measure for increas-
ing the revenue, and the possibility of
such thing, with only about ten days
to get their goods out of bond, at the
present rate of duty, caused genuine
sensation. 1t is understood that But
terfield & Co., and other importers of
dress goods are among the heaviest
withdrawers.
In banking circles there is greatly
increased demand for loans on call pa
per. One bank made loan of $780,
900 to big importing firm for the pur-
pose Of withdrawing goods from bond,
and the payment of duties thereon.

CAUSED BY A NASHOUT
The Worst Railroad Accident
in Years.
FIVE PEOPLE WE'RE KILLED

The "Cannon-BaI" Passenger Train
Wrecked in Indiana-Engine and
Two Cars Went Over Embankment
Princeton, Ind, March 12.-One OF
the worst railroad wrecks that has oc-
Cured in this vicinity for many years
happened today at 3 o'clock to the
Pittsburg and Nashville limited, north
bound over the Evansville & Terre
Haute road, one mile north of Hazelton.
The engine went over the embankment,
falling distance of fifteen feet, into
six feet of water. The smoker was
telescoped by the baggage car, and the
ladies' car and sleeper remained on the
track. The engineer says he was run
ming twenty-five miles an hour, and
when he approached the washout saw
nothing but small hole. The engine
passed over it and went down the en-
bankment. The dead are: George A.
Seers, conductor; Joseph Bowman, fire
man; three passengers, names unknown.
Two were wounded seriously and sew
eral slightly.
All the passengers in the smoker are
supposed to have been killed. Four
bodies besides Conductor Seers were
seen in the smoker as it broke loose and
rolled down the embankment and
foated off in the current.
Harry j. Hill, the baggageman, was
the only member of the train crew that
escaped unhurt.

was not so easily settled, and it was
long after midnight when any kind of
an agreement was reached.
The clock was stopped at midnight,
and it was near sunrise when final ad-

The very healthy and promising oil
field at Cutler, this county, received an
additional production on Friday eve-

drilled in their No. 1 on the farm of
Anthony Lavelle. The we'll ever since
the grease was struck has been flowing
steadily, without letting up stream
OF oil and salt water as high as 20 feet
in the derrick. 1t is the best well in
the field, and will make n producer of
from l? to 20 barrels per day. The
well is very strong gasser.
The report comes from Cairo of big
strike made Saturday by Cox & Wood
yard on the Gregory lease. The we'll
is estimated to make several hundred
barrels.
The Vienna we'll on the Grier farm
made another big flow on Sunday and

Base Ball 'O7.

The Twin Cities have until Monday
next 10 decide whether or not they will
accept place in the Ohio-West Virgil
MIA base ball league the coming sum-
mer. President Sig. Marcus, of Park
ersburg, and Manager Moore, of Zanes-
vile, were looking over the field there
yesterday, and it may be that Canal
Dover and New Philadelphia will com
bine with the Twin Cities and play
two games alternately each week at
the Dover and Twin City parks But
if such arrangement is not made, it is
more than likely one of the two teams
organized for GAINESVILLE will be located
in this city. The park managers here
have rendered the league managers n
most reasonable price for the use of the
grounds, suits, masks, etc, and Mana
ger Moore, who was in the city recent
ly. talked very fayorably of locating
one of the teams here, as it was on the
immediate circuit, and that our park
was one of the best to be had besides
it would be great saving in railroad
fares, when compared with the locati, N
in towns north OF here. Cambridge
should, by all means, have base ball
team this season, and one that would
uphold our reputation as winners. =
