poets Little Opposition.

tee to-day decided to present the bill for the
reduction of the revenue to the full COM
mittee on December l at 10 o'clock.

cerning the effect OF the reduction of GER
tain schedules and also as to ;he amount Of
revenue raised BY portions of the present

II AXE d final draft of the measure.
The committee has made such satisfactory
progress with the bill that only details

The members of the committee. after ad-
journment this afternoon. said they believed

hers have that the Democrats do not intend

RAN AWAY, But
DIDN'T STAY LONG.
Little Charles Sieber Decided That
Home and Friends Were
Desirable, After All.

Because his father whipped him. Charles
son Of Charles Sieber, Jr, ran away from
his home on Wednesday and was not found
until yesterday afternoon
The boys father. who is president of the
Sieber Stationery and Printing Company in
St. Louis. was considerably worried over
his disappearance, and Mrs. Sieber notified
the authorities at Clayton.
According to the boys story, he rode to
Meramec Highlands and walked out to Fern
Glen. distance of ten miles, where he
spent the night with some friends. But be-
fore they awoke yesterday he started for
Webster Groves and went to school. Here
his mother discovered him at , o'clock.
Charles Is sturdy boy and Is unusually
bright. He Is also sensitive. On Tuesday
he was involved in some mischief at school
and his teacher reported it to his father.
Mr.. Sieber rarely Furnishes his son, but
when he does he proceeds in the good, old
fashioned way. 1t was not the whipping
that hurt the boy. but the humiliation, and
VIXEN he went TO bed on Tuesday night ne
br coded over it, and finally decided that the
only way to wipe it out waa to run away
ficm home.
This. thought he. would bring his parents
to a sense of the injustice they had done
MIN, ana they would Erieve over his loss.
j. was his vague intention to return some
day when he was a man, with much wealth
and 4 famous name. But Charles had not
Planned very well. and he had not much
money. Tuesday morning he came down to
breakfast and treated his family with much
GOODNESS, reveling in the thought OF the
grief and regret in store for them.
He went to school and remained until
noon trying to devise plan to follow after
he had run away. But he had only few
cents, and he hardly knew what to do. so
he boarded a car for the Highlands and
trusted to luck for another inspiration when
he got there. From the Highlands he set
out on Il long walk without a definite dest-
nation He had had no dinner. and about
o'clock he began to fell the lack of 1t. He
reached Fern Glen just about dusk. and as
he tramped along, weary and hungry, he
saw the home Of some friends. and he sud-
denly became convinced that running away
from home and friends was not comfortable.
So he turned into the house and told the
folks that he wanted to pay them a visit.
They made him very welcome. Early yes
terday morning. before any one in the
household was astir. he dressed himself and
crept out of the house and started on his
homeward trip.
But he WAS ashamed and slightly afraid
to go home. SO ut noon yesterday, after
having hidden around Webster for short
while, he went to school as If nothing had
happened. Here his anxious mother, who
had searched all over the neighborhood,
found him. He had not eaten anything since
Wednesday night, and was hungry. He was
extremely glad to get home.

Announcement That Grand Ouch
ess Helen Will Wed Prince
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.
POLITICAL RESULTS EXPECTED.
Will Strengthen Franco Russian
Alliance and, at the Same Time,
the Bonapartist Cause.-The
Duchess Is Very Ambitious.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
St Petersburg, Nov. 2e.-(Copyright. 1890
by W. r. Hearst)-The bethrothal Of
Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte to Grand
Duchess Helen. daughter of the Grand Duke
Vladimir is officially announced to-day and
cannot fail to strengthen vastly the Bona
partist cause in France. correspondingly
weakening the republican government on
the banks Of the Seine.
Prince Louis, who has been serving for the
last fifteen wears in the Mucovitc army, is
to-day General of Russian cavalry. at
the head of the crack regiment of the
CZarina's lanccrs of the guard. He has all
along been treated at the court here as
member of the Russian imperial family cir
Gle. and enjoys in Il very particular degree.
the favor and friendship of the present
Car.
Inasmuch as the orthodox Russian church
strictly prohibits marriages between hrst
cousins. ami there is possibility of oh
tanning dispensation. the ambitious Grand
Duchess. realizing at length that she has no
chance of becoming the wife of Grand Duke
Michael and Empress of Russia. has now
apparently made up her mind that the next
best thing is 10 become possible Empress
of the French. and it is on this account that
she has at length accepted the previously
rejected hand of Prince Louis. the only
Prince who is a source of danger to the Re
public
When II is borne In mind that the French
people attach the utmost Importance to the
Russian alliance as being their principal
source of strength and safeguard and that
one of the causes of the unpopularity of the
Waldeck-Rcusseau Cabinet in France Is
precisely because it Is believed to be viewed
with disfavor in the highest circles here.
the political results on the banks OF the
Seine of the betrothal announced to-day will
readily be apparent

his mercy and begged OF him to keep quiet.

with drums. tin pans. horns and almost
every imaginable instrument that would
make noise They formed in parade and
marched in front of Mr.. and Mrs. Ze!rs's
buggy to their home. And the serenade
was continued throughout the afternoon and
evening Mr.. Zeirs had no other recourse
but to invite his impromptu guests to par
take of the liquid refreshments that he had
slowed away in his cellar. The report was
circulated that he was doing tho honors
and the crowds rapidly increased. By 6
o'clock the happy bridegroom was obliged
to replenish his buffet. And still the crowd
grew and drank.
