Mr. Lfttleheld Tries to Drown 1t I'm n
Flood of Eloquence.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-An agreement
was reached in the House to-day that the
vote on the Porto Rican tariff bill be taken
at p. m. next Tuesday, general debate to
close on Monday. Formal announcement
was made that Republican conference
would be held at p. m. tomorrow. The
leaders continue to express the belief that
the bill will pass, but the impression is
growing that motion to recommit the bin
to the committee on ways and means will
command strong support and may prevail.
Mr.. Underwood. the Democratic whip, to-
day sent out kilograms to all absent Demo-
Gratis to be present on Monday. when the
voting may begin
The speech OF Mr. Littlefield. of Maine,
was the feature of the day. He added to
his laurels won in the Roberts debate by a
speech against the bill which for brilliancy,
wit and logic rivals the best efforts OF the
recognized orators of the House. He made
a profound impression, and when he con-
cluded 1t was several minutes before the
demonstration that followed could be
quelled. Among others who spoke to-day

PASSENGERS ELECTRIFIED.
Wet Floor of Trolley Car Became
Charged Through Defective Wire.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S.-Fifty passengers on
a Halsted-street electric car were shocked
by electricity last evening. A panic fol-
lowed, but nobody was seriously hurt. Two
passengers felt the effects for some time
after, but were able to move about with
out assistance. At Polk street the passen-
gers wearing rubbers were surprised to
see the others suddenly jumping about.
Conductor Crawford was collecting fares.
when suddenly he leaped from the floor
and remarked that needles were passing
through his legs. The floor of the car had
become thoroughly soaked with water, and
made a good conductor for the electricity
Women and children felt the shock and
were panic-stricken. when several of the
men were thrown from their feet. The car
was stopped by some one pulling the troll
ley pole from the wire. shutting off the
electricity An investigation showed that
the insulation OF wire connected with the
heating apparatus had fallen of. allowing
the copper wire to come in contact with
the water-soaked floor.

LONDON, Feb. PA correspondent of
the Daily News. telegraphing from Modder
river Thursday morning. says: LAS I left
koodozrand this morning heavy shell
and rine fire was in progress. Last night
the Boer laager was mass OF flames and
the Beers were seen making shelter in the
trenches. General Cronje's wife, accord
ing to some of the prisoners. Is urging him
to surrender. Too much stress cannot be
laid upon the Importance Of sending car
goes Of horses for remounts. The neces-
sity for rapid movement, which was
grasped by Lord Roberts, has altered the
whole campaign
The Daily News asserts that the fore
going dispatch refers to Wednesday morn
ing. More likely. however, 1t refers to
Tuesday.
The Daily Chronicle has the following
dispatch from Kimberley, dated Feb. 21:
Cavalry patrols that went north to cap
ture the Boer hundred-pounder report that
the weapon has been taken beyond River
ton Station, drawn by thirty-two oxen.
The cavalry say that they saw Boer par
ties, but they did not go beyond Riverton
for fear or being cut off. They learned.
however, that the Transvaalers were being
concentrated on the border 10 the north.
A party of Beers fired into the British
camp. Fifty thousand pounds of ammu
milton was captured at Magersfontein.

to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Representa-
tive Dolliver. of Iowa, is being subjected
to a good deal of good-natured badinage
by his friends in Congress. Mr.. Dolliver is
one of the leading Western congressman
and is immensely popular with his asso-
ciates. He is big in brains, big in stature
and big in good nature. He is counted one
OF the finest orators in public life and as
he is we'll liked at home his tenure prom
ises to string out into the indefinite fu-
ture. Mr.. Dolliver is very fortunately and
happily situated in his home life, having
married the beautiful and amiable only
daughter of d. X. Pearson, the Chicago
millionaire philanthropist. 1t has been Mr..
Pearson's hobby to give away large sums of
money in endowing educational and chari-
table institutions throughout the length and
breadth of the land. All told he has be-
slowed s2.5OO.000. This was all well enough
and gave great satisfaction to Mr.. and Mrs.
I,olliver, who found pleasure in the old gen.
tJeman's benevolence. 1t is not of record
even that they complained or lifted up their
voices in protest when the announcement
was made a few days ago that Mr.. Pear
SON had decided to give away the rest of
his fortune, estimated at s1,50o.000 for the
advancement of education and the eleva-
tion of the human race although Mr.. Dolli-
ver's friends have taken the liberty of jok-
ing him on the subject. Their fun takes the
form of extravagant congratulations on
having such fine old father-in-law Some
of them have suggested to him that it
would be wise move on his part to es-
tablish 2 college somewhere In order to
participate somewhat in the old gentle
mans fortune. Others have talked to him
vaguely about getting out an injunction
20 prevent the intended diffusion o. the
Pearson dollars. One of Delivers friends
remarked In his hearing that sit was time
for Dolliver to begin to wonder what in
the name of fortunIs the old man supposed
he married the girl for"

A Democratic BIunder.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S.-The Tribune, to-
morrow will say: Western railroad Off
cials think serious mistake was made by
the Democratic national committee in fix
ing the date for the Democratic national
convention at Kansas City for July 4. A
worse day for the convention, they say,
could not have been chosen, that
day the railroads are running cheap ex-
cursions between all points. East of the
Missouri river and generally all the avail
able railroad equipment is required for the
handling of this business. Under the cir
cumstances the railroads. and especially
those running direct to Kansas City, fail
to see how enough equipment can be Sc
cured at that time for the handling of the
crowds that will want to go to the conven-
ton. To give up the regular Fourth of
July holiday excursions to accommodate
the Democratic convention crowds, rail-
way officials say, would be poor policy.
With the limited accommodations the rail-
roads will be able to furnish for the con-
vention business they propose to make a
higher rate for that occasion than they
would have made otherwise

began and there was tie vote in the SEN
ate until the Vice President cast the de-
ciding vote and defeated it. If that resolu-
tion had been passea ar the time when
Senator Bacon introduced it, there would
not have been any war in the Philippines.
1t is manifestly unfair for Mr.. Grosvenor
to charge me with supporting the treaty
without also pointing out that / favored
the resolution promising independence.
The bloodshed in the Philippine islands is
upon those who refused to deal with the
F1lipinos on American principles. 1t is cow
ardly for the Republicans to attempt to
evade the responsibility. If they favor the
war Of conquest they should have the cour-
age to avow it and give their real rea-
sons for it, namely, that they desire to
give the syndicates a chance to exploit the
islands. The thing that surprises me about
