An Alpine Tragedy.

Berne, Switzerland. September g.
Further advices from La Sale, near Mont
Pleureure, show that the report OF an &C
cident to a party of Alpine tourists In
that vicinity were not exaggerated. Eight
persons, it appears, started from Sion,
capital Of the canton of Valais, with the
intention of ascending Mont Pleaureure.
The latter is IL, los feet high and is not
very difficult ascent from Mauvois in by
the Gietrox, eight hours being generally
occupied in the task. The tourists were
led by Pastor Coin of Sion, and they
made the ascent divided into two parties
of four EACH The first Of these parties
reached the summit and the second was
only short distance behind when the
four persons were swept by an avalanche
into a crevasse 1000 feet deep. In site OF
the gravity of the accident all hope of
rescuing some of the tourists alive has
not yet been given up. The missing par
ty was composed of Pastor Coin, two
school boys from Lausanne and a young
Englishman named Bernard.

The Wool Schedule.

Washington. June 18.--Advo
rates in the senate of an increase
in the duty on wool held a ec,inp
Today and decided upn. the follow
lug as the rates wnlch they vii
ask the committee to fix on wool
First class: In grease, uu-
skirted, 10 cents per pound; in
grease, skirted, IL cents per
pound; if washed, double these
rates; if secured, treble.
Second class: l.. grease, un-
skirted, 10 cents per pound; in
grease, skirted, l3 ntS per
pound; if washed, double; if
secured. treble.
Third class. Wofth not exceed
ing 6 cents per pound, 3 cents
duty worth over 6 cents and not
exceeding 10 cents, 5 cents; worth
over 10 cents, 8 cents; if secured.
treble.
These rates are much higher
than those originally fixed by the
senate committee, and wool men
regard them as more advantageous
than those of the house bill or the
Mckinley law.
The schedule agreed upon today
was presented at a meeting of the
republican members of the sanate
finance committee today. For
over three hours the questions
presented were discussed in a con.
versational way, but no definate
conclusions were reached. Among
the senators present who asked for
an increase ir the weol duties pro
posed were Mantle, i Foraker, Nc :

attended the meeting. 1t is prob
able some compromise may be
reached soon, but the question Of
just what rates will be finally
recommended is still open.

had announced that the children

alas. in this instance it was not to

present objected to the manage
ment of the feast in such way,
and thereupon took their seats at
the tables, and the professor and
ladies had to give in, though very
unwiliing'y, for they had set their
warn hearts on giving the little
ones a good time after the long
term at school. Well sir, there
was not room enough for all the
children, many having to wait
until the last moment. The elders
filled up and took their seats, the
remnant of the children were called
and the waiting ladies proceeded
to provide for them. When, what
do you think? Several persons
refused to permit the cutting OF
their cakes, and the use of the ice
cream they had brought, saying
they preferred to have them uncut
as they did not want them eaten,
and the cream was theirs, and
they did not want it used. The
ladies In waiting simply stared at
them in wonder, and let their
materials severely alone. One
lady, bringing her little ones quite

OF goodies, asked for a couple of
chairs to rest the tired little feet.
