Wilmingtonlans Caused the Trouble.

The Chester Evening News says.
There was q gay time on Mary street
Sunday morning. The excitement arous-
ed the entire neig .4borhood and the anus
Ing spectacle of seeing man fleeing from
a certain house in the locality in half
robed condition was witnessed by many
spectators.
From what can be learned of the affair
1t appears that lady resident whose hus-
band lives in Wilmington, from whom she
claims to have become la wfully separated,
was entertaining another man from the
same city, when the man, who claims to
be her lawful husband, appeared upon the
scene, causing the hasty exit of the other
fellow. What clothes he didn't succeed in
getting on he carried In his arms and his
predicament presented a ludicrous picture.

There is an air of expectancy
around the Capitol and among the
visitors to the White House-offic-
ial visitors. Cuban matters came
dangerously near to reaching a
crisis last week, through action of
the House on the belligerency
resolution. 1t required all the
power of the administration and of
Speaker Reed to keep the Repub-
licans in line, and if Chairman
Hit, Of the House Foreign Com
mittee, had not made his speech

the administration stood ready to
| respond with armed vessels when-
ever Consul General Lee pressed
the button, they might not have
succeeded. The nerves of Con-
! gress are on edge, SO to speak.
The attendance is unusually large
! in both branches, and the OPPOSE
tlon leaders are watching each
other. The number of consulta-
tions the President has had with
prominent members of his party
also indicates the probability OF
some move on his part.
BY refusing to grant hearings
respectfully asked for by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic Union, the House
Com mittee on Banking and Cur
| rency, which has heard every
thing the friends of the gold stand
ard had to say, made a break that
will help the silver men more than
it will hurt them, as will be seen
when they appeal from the de-
cision of that committee to the
voters in the Congressional Dis
trlct. The claim that only those
were granted hearings who APP
peared to advocats some particu-
lar currency bill, put forward by
the committee, was a mere subter-
fuge that fooled nobody. Such
action on the part of this commit.
tee would have been inexcusable
ii there was any chance of favora-
BILE action upon any bill that it
may prepare, but when it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether a major
ity of the committee can even
agree upon a bill, and certain that
If they do the bill cannot become
law, it seems that common de-
cency, not to mention fair play
would have caused them to give
the silver men a hearing. Any
illogicalism or fad can be over
thrown in this country by argu-
ment, but suppression will never
be countenanced as legitimate op-
position.
If bill which has been favora-
bly, reported to the House becomes
law, first class mail matter will
not be forwarded after the first of
newt July, unless the postage IL
fully prepaid. At present two
cent stamp on letter will insure
its being forwarded. no matter
how much the postage may be,
the government depending upon
collecting what is due, before 1t Is
| delivered.

BUSINESS MEN ON 4 TOUR
Kansas City's Commercial Club Visit
Shreveport.


II o'clock a special train with two
fine Pullman Palace cars with
Dining Cars attached drew up in
to- our Union Depot, quite unex-
pectedly to the large majority Of
our people. 1t soon discharged
it's cargo which proved to be men,
bers of the Commercial Club Of
Kansas City who were out on a
tour of looking around, seeing
the country and people, and maxi
ing a personal observation Of the
progress OF the country, ascertain
ing what the towns and cities were
doing and making the personal
acquaintance of those engaged in
the particular line of business to
which the various member Of this
club We're converted.
1t was not the intention of the
gentlemen composing the party to
have their visit heralded abroad
and in advance SO they could be
met with brass bands, fine equip
pages and committees and escort
ed to public halls and banquetted;
for by these means the true intent
of the trip would be lost.
This party was composed Of
gentlemen engaged in all kinds Of
business belonging to the world Of
industry, the railroad man, bank
er merchant, manufacturer, press,
real estate, importers etc. And
they wanted to see the business
men in the Offices, stores, behind
their counters, at the places where
the avocations were practically
applied. Hence they wanted to
come in quietly and hunt our peo-.
pie up in the confines of their own
business pursuits.
The party left Kansas City last
Sunday night and will return to-
night or tomorrow. They visited
about seventeen, perhaps more
points between that city and Port
Arthur.
They came upon US in a most
unpropitious time, when our streets
were at their worse, but, Mr..
Pierce, Of the party, was charita-
bic enough to say to our editor,
1--WE are used to that" This was
muchly appreciated. And then
The Progress told him that a great
deal of our mud was due to tear
ing up the streets for paving pur-
poses. We also stated that an
effort would be made to have the
Constitutional Convention to au~
thorize towns and municipal COR
porations to issue bonds for pub
lie improvements, and when this
was done Shreveport would take

board will clash when thSsname OF Mr..
D. r. Thomas is presented, for the reason
some of the members do not want another
alderman interested in the Brush Electric
Light Company. The friends of Mr..
Thomas say they want him, however, ana
he has not yet signifed the intention OF
withdrawing his name
Alderman Krouskoff was asked yester-
day what stand ne would take in regard
TO the matter, but he declined to discuss
it from any other standpoint than that OF
principle He could see no reason why
those interested in companies holding con
tracts under the city could not act con.
scientiously in the discharge of their du-
ties. When an alderman is discharginp
his official duties, he said. he should have
no thought for his private interests. put
should act solely for the city's interests
An alderman connected with concerns do
ing business for the city, like the electric
light company, he said, should refrain
from voting on questions in which its In
terests are involved.
Other members Of the board not desiring
their names used take another view OF
the matter however, and are evidently
bent on contest over the election of Mr..
Thomas. Granted the electric tight peo-
pie should not vote, they say, on questions
involving its affairs. this would possibly
delay business at times, by making the
vote below a quorum.
MIR. Thomas says nothing about his name
being used but it is apparent he viii moi
interfere with the aldermen who desire
and have undertaken to place him on the
board. This will bring on a discussion
of principle, the point being as 10 the
number of aldermen that should be on
the board. Interested in the same company
holding contracts under the city.
