A RAYMOND COURT IDYLL.
The Bis ckmores and the Gysts were
Mixed Up in 1t.

Edward Cyst and Oscar Blackmore
were before Alderman Howe last even
ing. Cyst being the defendant in the
case. Blackmore has served a term in
iaiI and Gyst's claim to fame rests on
the fact that he fell 120 feet from tine
sixth story of the Hotel Jermyn build
ing during the course If its erection,
and also fell down the improvised ele-
vator shaft of the Mears building,
where he was employed as 'profes-
sional" climber. He escaped with only
minor injuries at both falls.
These two men with their wives on
Thursday night in house in Raymond
court had lively time.
A quarrel was duly started. A lamp
chimney fell from a table to the floor
and when Blackmore made an insulting
remark Cyst hurled the chimney at
him. Instead of striking Blackmore
the glass hit his wife, Mrs. Blackmore,
on the back of her head.
A long cash was inflicted but the
wound was not. serious. .Blackmore
yesterday caused the arrest of Cyst,
| charging him with threats. The case
was amicably patched up last evening
before Alderman Howe.

THERE ARE TWELVE OFFENDERS.
Seven Warrants Have Been Issued
for Their Arrest.

Twelve Priceburg young men are be-
ing sought after to answer charges
contained in warrants sworn out yes
terday before Alderman Millar by Mrs.
w. q. Hughes, who conducts a saloon
in that locality. Seven of the warrants
charge rioting, two are for assault and
battery, two for threats and one for
blasphemy.
Mrs. Hughes alleges that II is almost
impossible to imagine the annoyance
TO which she has been subjected by the
rowdyism Of these young men. They
prowl about the neighborhood at all
hours of the twenty-four and seem to
mark her as the especial object of their
mischief.
These things Mrs. Hughes cannot
withstand any longer so she went be-
fore Alderman Millar and lodged the
several charges of rioting, etc. Thomas
Mcguire, who is charged with bias
phemy, was the only one arrested SO
far He entered bail in the sum OF
$500 for appearance at court.
One OF the defendants is Martin Gill
gallon, who is the same Gilgallon who
was shot several months ago by John
House, watchman at Johnsons store.

NOT AGREED ON THE TARIFF
Democratic Members of Ways and Means
Committee at Outs
SPLIT OCCURS ON THE WOOL SCHEDULE
Leader of the Minority Inclined to
Side with the Republicans on
that Question-Two Mi
pority Reports.
SPLIT OCCURS ON THE WOOL sCHEDUL

WASHINGTON. March 1e.-Discussions
have arisen among the democratic members
of the ways and means committee which may
result in the presentation of two minority
reports on the tariff bill. Mr.. Bailey OF
Texas, who Is at the head OF the minority on
the committee by virtue Of his position, will
write the main report, but 1t Is not improb-
able that some of the democratic members
will decline to sign 1t. Mr.. Bailey differs
from his democratic colleagues on the sub
ject of free wool and yesterday when Mr..
McMillin and Mr.. Wheeler offered amend
| ments In the committee, the former to place
wool on the free list and the latter to make
the maximum duty collected on wool not
to exceed rs per cent ad valorem, he voted
against the McMillin amendment and de-
clined to vote on that offered by General
Wheeler.
Mr.. Bailey takes the position that the
Chicago platform by implication opposed free
raw materials, and especially free wool, the
great product of the west. The plank Of
the Chicago platform held that tarifT duties
should be levied for the purposes of rev.
enue. schedules to be so adjusted as to
operate equally throughout the country and
not discriminate between class or section"
Mr.. McMillin and several of the other dem
ocratic members of the ways and means
committee, who are ardent silver men, cling
TO the free wool idea and assert that the
Chicago platform does not run counter to
their position. But some of the democratic
members. like Mr.. Wheeler who favors free
wool, are opposed to free coal and iron. which
were classed as raw material" by the
supporters of the original Wilson bill. In
fact General Wheeler made speech against
those features of that bill.
In addition to the discussions over the
question of free wool and other free raw
materials there is strong intimation that
Mr.. Robertson of Louisiana, one of the new
democratic members of the committee, will
in words endorse the sugar schedule. 1t is
possible, however, that the present complca-
| tion may be smoothed out in some way and
that Mr.. Bailey will be able to write report
in which all his democratic colleagues can
join Efforts to this end are now being
made, as the democrats are extremely anx-
ious to go into the tariff fight with strong
and unitad front.

CnmntrN Arc rrOtcCtCh.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Senator Davis
chairman of the committee on foreign rela'
tions, spoke at length in the executive scs'
sion OF the senate today, presenting the views
of the majority of the committee favorable
to the treaty and was listened to with the
utmost attention. Many senators gathered
together in the seats nearest the speaker
1t was the first speech the Minnesota senator
had made upon the subject, and there was
general feeling that he would present the
law and the precedents, and that his argu.
ment would exhaust all that could be said
in behalf of the agreement. Mr.. Davis went
into the history of the negotiation of the
treaty at some length, and made strong ap
peal for its ratification, as the frst important
step between two nations in recognition oil
the great principle of peaceful adjudication
of disputes. He said that as amended, the
treaty offered perfect security against vo-
lation of the prerogatives of the senate as an
integral part of the treaty making powers
of the United States and that under the
provisions of these amendments there wss no
danger of snap judgments in any transaction
under the treaty.

RELEASE THREE MORE AMERICANS
| Charles Scott Was One of the For
| tunnte Ones.

Charles Scott WAS one OF the FOR
tunnte Ones.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Secretary Sher-
man announced with a good deal of salts
faction at the cabinet meeting today that
three more American citizens had been re
leased by the Spanish authorities in Cuba
viz: Charles Scott, Esteben Venero and
Theodore Wives. Scotts case was interest
ing from the fact that Consul General Lee
made it the basis for his inquiry as tc
whether war ships were available for Havana
in case the authorities refused to grant his
demand that the man against whom the
evidence to support the charge of conspiracy
it is said, was merely that he was in pos
session of Cuban postage stamps be
Immediately placed in communication wi b
the outside world.
Venero is native of Cuba, % years OF
age. and was naturalized here in 1895. He
was arrested in Les Palos, Havana province
about September % last, though no charges
were preferred. Upon his claim of Ameri-
can citizenship, he called for his papers. and
these were submitted December last, since
which time his case has been pending with
out attempt to settle the question of juris-
diction between the civil and military
tribunals.
Wives was a native of Cuba, but was natu-
rallied in the United States in 1896. He
was arrested in November, 1896, charged first
with disorderly conduct, and then with Of
fering insults to Spain, and has been held in
Jail since for trial 1t appears that this man
was actually released on February l last
but his release was not known to the officials
here, and his friends were in ignorance OF
his release. By some oversight, Consul Gen
eral Lee did not report the fact to the de-
partment until yesterday, and then in answer
to a specific inquiry by the senate.
