policy, has practically asked his
party in the house for a vote of
confidence, and, altho ugh there is
no politics in this question, his
party is likely to do as he wishes,
at least leng enough for him to
have the chance to make his policy
known.
If the republican and democratic
Senators live up to their caucus
agreements, the country will be
spared long-winded speeches in
the tariff debate which was opened
TODAY by Senator Aldrich. The
republicans did not attempt to
have their caucus indorse the
amendments to the tariff bill, be-
cause it would have been useless,
owing to outspoken opposition to
to some of the schedules on the
part of the republican Senators.
The democrats decided to start in
by making an attempt to strike out
all the internal revenue taxes inn
possed by the bill, leaving their
future action to be determined by
the dissentions they expect to see
developed among the republicans.
The populist Senators are not talk
ing much about their intentions,
but it is safe to say that they will
in all the preliminary voting,
stand for or against those items in
the bill which they think are for
or against the interest of their
States, reserving the right to vote
for or against the entire bill when
it is put upon it's final passage.
It is now thought that the bill will
be passe by the Senate inside of
four weeks unless, it shall be de-
layed by some complications now
unexpected.
Senator German and Representa-
tive Richardson, of Tenn, have
always enjoyed the reputation of
being hustlers in getting places for
their constituents, but it fairly
made the eyes of some of their
colleagues bulge when it was
stated before the Senate civil SER
vice committee that when Mr..
German was chairman of the Sem
ate Printing Committee, and Mr..

Is Guilty.
He Was Arraigned For
FelOniOuS Assault.
Put in Plea of Guilty and Held
in $4,000 Bail.
Two Other Charges Were Also Pre-
ferred by the State.
They Were for Breaking aud Entering
and Larceny of Bicycle.

Clinton, Mass. June 15 Joseph Perry,
the farm hand formerly employed at Har-
ward, who was arrested at Providence last
Saturday charged with felonious assault
upon Estella Stratton at Harvard, was
arraigned in the district court here before
Judge Stone today. He pleaded guilty
and was held for the grand jury in $4,000.
He was also charged with breaking and
entering ana the larceny OF a lady's bicy-
Gle from ;. Nj. Farnsworth of Harvard,
TO which he also pleaded guilty and was
held in 5000 additional for the grand
jury. Evidence was presented in the case
and Perry seemed totally Indifferent dur
ing the entire proceedings.
The assault took place In the woods
near Harvard last Friday while Miss
Stratton, l5-year-old girl, was on her
way home from school Perry threw a
trunk strap over her head and tried TO drag
her away, but the girl s screams attracted
assistance and Perry fled, making his es-
cape from the vicinity and from the
crowds OF excited citizens who were
searching for him, on the stolen bicycle.
He WAS traced to Providence and arrested
and acknowledged that he had served n
term for similar crime and that he
had also served a term at Concord for
larceny. He acknowledged that he was
guilty of the assault upon the Stratton
girl and said that he found the strap in
the road. He said that the affair would
never have happened had he not been un-
der the influence of liquor at the time.

WITHOUT A WORD.
luncheon Died Without Rec0ncilia-
tl0n With Brother.
Although They Lived Together They
Had Not Spoken for 80 Years.

Laporte, Ind. June l5.-Patrick Hunch,
con- the wealthiest man in the northern
part of the state, died here yesterday, re-
fu5ing with his last breath to make peace
with his brother. Dennis, with whom he
had not exchanged word for thirty
years, although the men occupied the
same house.
Patrick was seventy-years old when he
died, but 1t is safe TO say that he would
have lived To much greater age had he
not been pursued by the fear of dying in
the poor house. This fear haunted him
continually. although he was the largest
land owner in the entire state and his
estate Is valued at more than 81, 600, 000
? This estate will go To bis brother, Dem
mis-, who is himself wealthy and says he
does not care TO inherit the estate. There
is no other heir, however, all the other
mem bers of tho FAMILY being dead, and
Dennis will take over his brothers
property. Patrick was one Of the founders
of the town OF Lacrosse, and owns the
greater part of the property there.
No one knows how the quarrel between
the brothers originated, but the two were
hard headed and obstinate and would not
acknowledge wrongdoing. Some say 1t
was a love matter. both being enamored
Of the same girl, but this can hardly be
true, as both men remained bachelors.
The brothers dined together every day,
but their rooms were far apart in the
house. which is an old-fashioned struc.
ture, and no word passed between them.
When one fell iii, however, the other was
full of solicitude regarding his health,
and would hasten to bring a physician.
Sometimes too, they had business deal
inRs with one another, but always through
a third party.
Both men were highly regarded In the
community, although they never sought
prominence in any way. Both were
sranch Democrats and never cast anything
but n straight Democratic ballot.
Patrick was the elder by a few years.
Tho two mon arrived in this country
moro than forty years ago, and after re-
naming in the East for WHILE came

their money and gradually acquired land,
