ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
The Attempted Suicide Of a Man and
woman Found on a Raft Few
Miles Above Cincinnati
This Morning.

Cincinnati, O., July 8.-Wm. Deere, a
lumberman, at O'Clock this morning,
found man and woman, apparently dy-
ing, lying side by side, on raft moored
to the shore near California, a few
miles above Cincinnati. Near the
raft the dead body of an infant was taken
from the water. The man and woman
we're alive, but unable to speak. Both
wrists were cut and bleeding, and other
wounds indicated an attempt at suicide.
The bodies we're taken to the city
hospital, where they regained conscious
ness, but begged to be permitted to die.
The man said they were both out of work
and wanted to die. The babe was girl
one year old, and had been killed by a
blow and then thrown into the river.

There Are $4,000 Spanish Soldiers
Sick in the Various Hospitals of
Cuba, and the Outlook is Dark
for Spanish Conquest.

New York, July ga dispatch to the
Weyler has at last decided that it is wise
to evaouate Bayamo. He has ordered the
inhabitants to take themselves to Man
zanillo, and has asked the war depart
ment to authorize the withdrawal of
troops and the burning of the town. 1t
is not possible to state accurately, how
many men the insurgents will be able to
muster in MatRnza, but fair estimate is
5000. There may be added for aggres-
sive purposes, 1000 rebels, under Cas-
tillo in Havana province, and $500 near
Ducass in Pinar del Rio. The Spanish
army has never been 80 weakened by
sickness before. An official estimate of
the number of Spanish soldiers in hos
pitfalls, throughout the island is $4,000.

The Proposed Message from the Presi-

pOned for the Present.
SENATOR HARRIS is ABOUT TO DIE
Full Attendance in the House of Rep

Washington, July S.-The proposed

the appointment of commission to
consider the revision of our currency and
national banking laws, will not be
transmitted today, nor for several days,
if it goes in at all. Senators Allison and
Quay, representative Dingley and other
party leaders, have urged the president
to reconsider his determination to send
in special currency message, as it would
be likely to arouse feeling, and cause
friction that would delay speedy final
action on the tariff bill.
CLOSING TARIFF DEBATES.
The house committee on rules decided
today to present special order for send
ing the tariff bill to conference as soon
as it was received from the senate. This
will give but 20 minutes debate on side.
The Democrats tried to secure an agree
for time for debate, on the conference
report, but none was made. The Re-
publican offered one day. The Democrats
saked for three or four.
TARIFF coNFEREEs.
The house adopted special orders 142
to 147, and agreed to Mr.. Dingley's mo-
ton to concur in the senate amendment
and agree to the conference. The speaker
appointed the following conferees on the
tariff bill: Messrs. Dingley, Payne, Dali
zell, Hopkins, and Grosvenor, Republic
amos; Messrs. Bailey, Mcmillan, and
Wheeler, Democrats.
SENATOR HARRIS VERY Low.
At noon, DR.. Brown, attending Senator
Harris, expressed the opinion that his
patient could not, under the most favora-
BILE circumstances, live beyond tomorrow
morning.
MEETING OF CONFEREEs.
The first meeting of conferees of the
senate and house on the tariff bill, began
at 2 p. IN. The Democratic members
withdrew upon the intimation of the Re
publicans that they desired an oppor-
tunity to reconcile their differences be-
fore consulting with the Democrats.
RETURNING THE BILL.
There was a full attendance of the
house, to receive the return of the tariff
bill, which was sent to the senate on
March 81, SO days ago. After the reading
of the journal, Representative Lewis,
Democrat of Washington, was clamoring
for recognition, but the chair announced
a message from the senate. Amid
applause from the Republican side,
Secretary Cox then announced the passage
of the tariff bill, with sundry amendments,
upon which the senate requested q
conference.

Hi there! General Grout, how is
the postoflice caucus business? Judg-
ing from the way it worked in Chester
it is, like the civil service laws, some-
what elastic, eh, General?
Our readers will remember that
shortly after the presidential election
Congressman w. w. Grout stated
over his own signature that, in the mat
ter of postoffice appointments, all con
tests would be decided by caucus. Fur.
Their, he went so far as to lay down
rules for the calling and conducting of
said caucusses. Now this was all right,
at least for those who might think 50,
and certainly staked out plain course
over which the different crafts could be
steered. This is the theoretical side of
the matter. Here is a practical test of
its workings; In Chester a strongcon-
test was inangurated and two largely
signed petitions were sent in. Was a
caucus ordered /? O no. 1t was not
needed in this case. Why? Our dear
ly beloved, honest, upright Congress
man had very dear friend in Chester,
one who for years had worshipped at
the Circuit shrine, in the person of
Judge Henry. Now Hugh didn't want
caucus. 1t would not be in the in
terest of his applicant, so why should
he. So to accommodate him-to re-
pay him for favors heretofore received,
the conscientious Congressman decides
that Their is no call for caucus in
Chester and has notified Judge Hugh
Henry's applicant, as we are reliably
informed, that she would be appointed.
How is that for pure, Grout state
manship?
Aren't you, reader, almost pnrsuad-
ed that the SITTER is about right in
wishing that every politician, little and
big, could be hung. All If such
could be attained wouldn't the doxolo.
gy take on a newer, broader and more
significant meaning ?
Surely it would.
