Frank Kane, thorough bully and all-round
tough while following his usual avocation Of
seeking trouble encountered 1t yesterday
in Wholesale quantities and received an over
dose. He was in Coyle's saloon on Lower
Broadway about noon, just drunk enough
to be anxious to fight anybody or anything.
A couple of railroad men stepped into the
saloon on their way home to dinner to get a
glass of beer Kane invited himself to drink
with them and became very abusive. In the
alteration which followed one of the men,
employed on the Union Pacific knocked Kane
down several times in strict self-defense. The
men attempted to leave the place and Kane
followed them and attempted cowardly as
sault from behind. 1t was the third time the

fend himself and he administered a terrible
threshing to Kane. When 1t was over Kane
was in condition that required the attention
of a physician The physician was obliged
to spend several hours in patching him up
and sticking his face together with sur
geon's plaster. "He was the best whipped
man | ever saw" the physician remarked.

QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE
Mr.. Mckinley Becomes a Factor in
the Controversy.
Our Two Highest Offices Cannot Be
Sepa arated-Vice President Out
ranks an Amba ssador.

New York, May "A Washing gton dis
Mckinley has become a factor in the yexed
question OF precedence, which hadits origin
i'll the recent contest for honors attendant
upon the ceremonies on Grant memorial day.
The position of the President il that for
purposes OF precedence and etiquette the
offices OF the President and Vice President
cannot he separated, because of their in
innate and iDteIdependent constitutional
relation, ANA because the Vice President
is, to all ntcnts and purposes, the heir To
the Presidency oil the United States, and is
no more TO be separated from the Presi-
dent, where questions of precedence is con
&C eued, than the Prince OF Wales can he
disassociated from his royal mother, the
Queen Of the British Kingdom.
President Mckinley has not put himself
on record On this interesting, though
simple, problem, for the reason that he
believed that all the talk about precedence
was merely o joke. He was slow 70 be-
Iicve that Sir Julian or, in fact, any OF the
ambassadors had seriously oonteRded that
he was entitled to rank every officer 9f the
GOyeIIEment, with the single exception OF
the President, but as soon AS the President
became persuaded that the stories relating
to Sir Juan's claims of precedence were
true it did not take him long TO make up
his mind that IL would be a serious dis
orirnination against the Vice President TO
compel him To take rank after the four
foreign ambassadors, and thus take the
sixth instead of the second rank on all oo-
casions Of ceremony where precedence waS
involved.
The Suns special further refers to the
fact that at the close of the exercises on
Grant day, the President, in order to make
the relation between the President and
Vice President conspicuous, insisted that
the Vice President should sit Immediately
at his side in the place OF honor during
the luncheon which was served TO distin-
guished guests. Later in the evening, when
the President and Vice President We're en-
tertained by the Union League Club, the
President and Vice President, together
witt. Gen. Porter and Mayor Strong, sat
at the first table of honor, while Sir ulian
Pauncefote sat with Cheuncey NJ Depew at
another table.
These incidents are significant as show
in.. the attitude and disposition of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and it is asserted on good
authority that W hea the proper time comes
the President VIII re enforce this position
in so uncquivocal way as TO admit of no
doubt that, in his mind, the Vice President
enjoys the second rank in our form of
Government, and is not TO be elected there
from by the aggressive demands Of foreign
d:ploInatists The German ambassador has
already recognized the integrity OF the po-
sition assumed by the President and Vice
President in the matter of precedence, and
it is believed that within a short time Sir
Julian and the French and Italian am
bassadors win entirely abandon the posi-
tion which they have assumed.

Harrison has, according TO his own
statement, been swallowing various articles

the time he was a mere boy he has been
In the habit of swallowing substances that

stealing and swallowing their marbles,
He has seemed TO thrive on the food, and
although only twenty-eight years old, is
as hardy as the nails he eats, and his
muscles and flesh are as firm as the cast
iron he seems to devour with Il relish.
He willingly responded to the request Of
the experimental medical staff of the Uni

strauion as to Just where and how the
foreign matter is located in his system.
In tie presence OF number OF the
medical staff, Harrison has swallowed
sufficient hardware and nails TO kill about

OF the medical men, seemed honest, and al
OF them, after examining his mouth and
throat, were satisfied that the exhibition
was bona fide.
