Washington, ID. e., May 29.--fro-
,ess on the tariff bill in the senate
was CHECKED today, the plate para
graphs proving a source OF controversy
lasting through the day. AS result
little more than page OF the bill was
disposed of. The finance committee
succeeded without difficulty in resist
ing proposed amendments made by
democratic members of the committee
although each amendment was debated
at each length. An exciting incident
occurred during the afternoon when
Senator Morgan, OF Alabama, was
called to order by Mr. Gallinger, who
was temporarily in the chair, for
severely criticising the inaction of the
house of representatives. Adjourn
ment was taken till Tuesday
Washington, May 30-Today, after
a long period of silence, Mr. Tillman
(dem. s. CD started the senate by a
speech no less dramatic in its delivery
than sensational in its allegations. He
preceded it by presenting resolution
for the appointment of special com
mlttee of five senators to investigate
the charges OF speculation by senators
while the tariff bill was before the
finance committee In advocating the
resolution Mr. Tillman threw aside the
usual conyentionality OF the senate,
and. with plainness OF speech seldom
heard about the halls of congress.
called on his associates 10 investigate
the published charges Of senatorial
speculation, and # found true, to purge
the senate of those who debauched it.
Mr.. Adrich rep, II. - in charge Of
the tariff bill, answered Mr.. Tillman
in a sweeping denial. The Tillman
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses Of the SEN
ate.

Washington, June S.--Today the
senate made good progress on the tar
if bill, advancing to the important
metal schedule. During the day the
paragraphs covering marble and stone,
china, glass brick and tiles were com
pleted with few minor exceptions
Messrs. Vest and Jones (Ark.) on be-
half of the minority Of the finance
committee, proposed numerous amend
ments which were defeated by major
tiles of from to IA. The votes were
on party lines in the main, although
Messrs Rawlins and White, democrats.
voted with the republicans to increase
the rate on onyx, and Mr. McEnery
voted with the republicans against the
Jones proposition for a reduction Of
rates on china. AS sequel of the re-
cent sensational speech of Mr.. Tillman,
Mr. Smith tdem., n. j. rose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege while the tar
if debate was proceeding and made a
brief but pointed denial of all specula-
ton in stocks either recently or at any
time when the subject of sugar legis-
lation was under consideration Mr..
Tillman was among those who heard
the denial, but made no comment on
il. Mr. Davis introduced a proposed
amendment to the tariff bill providing
that nothing in the act shall be held to
repeal or impair the provisions of the
reciprocity treaty with Hawaii

DRAWING THE SWORD.

When the first burst of exultant ex.
citment had spent itself, Thorndyke sat
down upon a nat-topped stone and
mapped out plan OF attack. He would
begin on Pragmorc, terrifying the old
portray into submission and confession
by sight of the forgery which he had
made possible. Then he would push
Fench and Sharpless to the wall by i'm
stituting proceedings against them in
both the civil and the criminal courts:
lie would, apply for an injunction res
straining them from disposing OF amy
of the property in dispute. He would,
stop the wheels of business and seal up
the fountain Of A1lacoochee's prospect
ty until Kilgrow's rights were recog-
nized.. He would show these nnscrupr-
lols robbers that though Justice might
he blind. she never sleeps.
This was the outline of the temerari-
Gus plan which ingeniouslX. combined
all the clements of defeat and failure.
The impetuous zeal which had carried
,Thorndyke triumphant over the. dis
arrangements Of the. long search for
evidence became at once a source OF
weakness and STUN bling-bloek in the
way of final success: and he was. never
less a match for the crafty and con-
scienceless corporation attorney thar.
ut the moment when he believed that
victory was to be had for the taking.

that remained of the Office fittings, I'M;
til he suddenly remembered that it had
been the receptacle for recorded deeds;
then it occurred to him that here ,waS
the last traceable po;ntin,the history OF
the missing document. Each pigeon.
hole contained Z; drawer on which was
painted letter of the aiphabets and
Philip mechanically drew out. the one
marked tK:"' Itwas empty, as he kneM
it would. lie, and, pushing it back. he
left the room and the building: At the
foot of the steps the old negro overlook
him.
''Yaas sab, please sab. you-all done

Philip glanced carelessly at the
folded paper in the mans hand, and was
about to deny it's ownership, when
his eye caught the. name XII
grow" on the back of one Of
the folds. He took the paper
with what nonchalance he cotild mus
ter, gave the old negro a quarter, and
did not dare to look at the thing until he
had put hundred yards of the forest
on Johns mountain between himself:
and the possibility of prying eyes.
Then he examined the square of grimy
paper with singing in his ears and
the blood jumping from heart to brain.
There was no room for doubt or uncer-
tainty; he held in his hand the forged
deed. The document which had so long
eluded him had come to him at last by
the merest accident; and if anything
were needed to make his triumph COM
plete, it was added by the discoverythat:
the written text Of the deed was in the
unnistskable handwriting of Mr.. Jen-
kns Fencl. That was enough; but
there was another and still more con-
elusive evidence of the forgery. The
stationers' imprint in the corner Of the
blank fixed it's making five years later
than the certified date of the document

Of the new Allacoochee, which had
been donated by the town company.
II was characteristic of the time and
place that the county officers were NOV

painters and decorators were still at
work, and Philip crossed the street to
get out Of the way Of van-load of fur
niture which the driver was vainly at
tempting to back over . pife OF debris
in front of the entrance. Farther down
the street, Philip met another load, and
at the foot of the cascade of steps flow
ing down from the porch Of the old
courthouse he found third van into
which gang of negro workmen were
loading the furniture of Judge +Wilkin-
sons office. - - E.
During many OF the days spent in
canvassing the town for possible
clews, Philip had haunted the court
house: and more from force of habit
than for any other reason he climbed
the steps and strofled into the room
which had been the: Office of the judge
Of probate. The place was bare and. va
can't; the counter where he had so often
pored over the books of record was
gone; and the floor was covered with
a litter of waste paper which rustled
under his feet like the autumn leaves In
a forest. When he entered the negroes
were moving an ancient case of pigeon-
holes from the place against the wall.

lerity with which they put it down at
the sound OF the noon whistles. Before
the echoes Of the blasts had died away.

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.
Do Not Keep Lemonade or Fruits i'm
Vessels of Tin.

Do Not Keep Lemonade or Fruits i'm
Vessels of Tin.
1t seems as this advice ought to be en-
tirely unnecessary; but the frequency
of accidents from the use of canned
fruits and lemonade which is allowed
to stand in open tin vessels shows that
there is still a great deal of popular ig-
norance on the subject, or else a good
deal of carelessness. So long as fruits
and their juices are contained in her
netically sealed cans. no harm will re-
suit; at least, if the contents were prop
erly treated in advance. But just as
,oon as the air gets access, fermenta-
lion takes place, and the acid enters
into chemical combination with the
tin. Consequently, when can is
opened, the fruit should Zoe removed
within an hour or SO, and ought not to
be allowed to stand. If it be poured
Into earthenware dishes, no poisonous
effects will be produced, even though
the liquid mass deteriorates so as to
become unpalatable. What is true of
canned fruits is also true of lemonade.
The latter should always be mixed in
glass or earthenware pitcher. and not
in tin pail. At any rate, it should not
be permitted to remain for any time in
a tin vessel. Numerous cases of poi
soning from this cause are on record,
and fresh ones are reported every sum-
mer.-N. Y. Tribune.

Deliciou. Fig Pudding.

Fig pudding is a dish not to be de-
spised. There are several ways of
making it. but this one is about the
best. Mince very fine half pound of
suet and the same quantity of figs;
then mix with them half pound of
finely grated bread crumbs, with lit
tie sugar and enough golden sirup to
make nice paste. Butter a mold,
fill it with the mixture, and boil or
steam it for 1h hours. Then turn it
out and serve either plain or with
whipped cream or treacle sauce. The
latter is made by tlavoring little white
sauce with some lemon rind and a
spoonful of golden sirup. - Chicago

"You open the drawer in the kitchen
nearest the hall, and on tin pie plate
you will find steel fork"
That is what Mrs. Billtops said to Mr..
Billtops when he had asked for some
thing with which to wind up the I'M
wound spring in the roller of window
shade. Did Mr.. Billtops find the steel
fork on the tin pie plate in the drawer
nearest the hall in the kitchen? Well,
ask him! He did; and he not only
found it here, but he found it with the
sharp points of its primly parallel
prongs pointed safely away from him,
and its handle conveniently within
reach.
He carried the fork into the dining
room, but there Mrs. Billtors took it
from him, and wound up the shade her
self. Mr.. Blltops observed that the
tines of the fork were just wide enough
apart to fit snugly over the flat-sided
spindle of the fixture, so that it was
perfectly easy to twist the spring up
with it. He learned, indeed, that Mrs.
Billtops kept this fork for the express
purpose of winding up window shades,
and when he had seen her wind up this
spring with it. and then throw the little
side piece, that held il, into place again
with a single touch of hairpin, why,
he was more than ever convinced, if
that was possible. that Mrs. Billtops
was wonderful woman.-N. Y. Sun.
