MRS. NATIONS SUNDAY RAID
ON THE TOPEKA SALOONS

Sheriff Cook she went to the First
Christian church, where she was nc
costed by an officer with Il warrant
and taken to the county jail again. She
stayed this time for two hours, and
finally her bond was signed by one of
the jointists of the city who Is n prom
inent negro politician.
The badge of Mrs. Nations army
was II white handkerchief worn around
the neck.
At Murphy's fashionable saloon four
policemen stood mt the door to guard
the entrance. They commanded the
people in very dignitied tones to stand
back.
smash! Smash! SMASH" called out
Mrs. Nation. Don't pay any attention
to them"
The boys with the batterlng ram
came forward. and in less time Than it
takes to tell it. the big plate glass win
dows We're shattered into thousands
of fragments. Dozens of men then
rushed on the building armed with
their axes and soon had the loo and
window frames cut entirely away.
Then. with IN exultant cheer, the
crowd burst into the building.
PRAISE God, women Smash the bot
ties and the windows" called out Mrs.
Nation again, and raising her famous
hatchet. she sent ii through II window
glass that had yet been left.
The policemen managed to recover
from their scare by this time to grab
Mrs. Nation. They started off with
her to the station ms rapidly as posi-
Bile. She waved her arms and frantic
ally called out to her co-workers:
.,nl Innp 10 mai N",,, a IL, a. ,.itl
out me, Praise God. keep II up: keep
on smashing. You don't need me-"
For II moment the crusaders We're
thrown into confusion by the removal
Of their leader, but the parting words
of Mrs. Nation seemd to nerve them TO
better efforts.
The crowd surged forward into the
building, and soon all the front part
of the room had given way, and all
could enter mt will.
a man inside struck n match and
then turned on the electric lights. A
case of beer was found in the room
and it was 500 smashed, Slot ma

RUSSIA RETALIATES BECAUSE
SUGAR DUTIES WERE RAISED

already enjoy two separate reductions.
thirty per cent. being taken off from
the general and twenty per cent. from
the conventional duties. The articles
referred TO in the Russian decree are
machinery and tools of every kind,
manufactures and products of cast
iron and steel. Roughly stated the
United States is said to ave exported
goods of his description last year to
the amount of S3O,OO0.0OO.
The addition of fifty per cent to the
duty Will. 1t Is thought. prove practi-
cal1y prOhibitory. The action taken
means that the Russian government
will not concern itself with II test case,
nor await the issue of such n case.
However. there is an expectation that
the American importers of Russian su-
gar will make the fight in their oHTn
interest. Some carGoes of Russian su-
gar are now afloat and on the way to
the United States. where mt least II
is due to arrive in the TX ten days.
1t Is not doubted hat the consignees
in the United States will. rather than
pay the countervniling duty, which
would make it impossible to compete
with other sugar make up a test case.
If the issue favOrs the Russian side,
then the obnoxious decree will be
amended, though 1t is not denied that
the Russian government feels offended
The text of the Russian order is as
follows:
IAN order of the Russian minister
OF finance directs an additional tariff
of thirty per cent. net imposed upon ar
ticles included in paragraphs $50, 151,

ton into office for nineteen hundred years.
Only five other pontiffs besides the above

MIR. Lentz Precipitates Sensational
Discussion in the House,


The House passed the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill yesterday and entered upon
consideration of the general deficiency, the
last of the general appropriation bills. Mr..
Lentz of Ohio .(democraO, who, in this
and the previous Congress, has violently at
tackled the admins tration, furnished the
sensation of the day. He used q new'spa-
per paragraph recounting the death of a
federal judge in New Mexico who had
been a member of the legislature which
elected Senator Hanna as text for charg-
ing corruption in that election. This called
forth rebuke from Mr.. Cannon, who de-
clared that brave men fought the living
and only ghouls ravished the tombs OF
the dead.
Mr. Grosvenor attempted to reply, and
the two OhioanS were anxious for the fray,
but Mr.. Cannon would not permit it. He
thought If dirty linen was to be washed
the gentlemen should hire hall" Later
Mr.. Lentz made second onslaught of
more sensational character. and brought
down upon himself the whole republican
side of the House. In some remarks about
a paragraph in the bill for payments for
the apprehension of deserter5 Mr.. Lentz
made the startling charge that soldiers in
the Philippines had buried native alive
and had then beheaded him. and he cad
a letter written, he said, by a soldier in
the Philippines, saying hat he and his
companions, while on an expedition, wero
ordered to shoot every man and beast they
found.
Mr. Lentz said if these things are true
the soldiers were justified in deserving. Mr..
Cannon, Mr.. Mahon of Pennsylvania. AR.
Grosvenor of Ohio Mr.. Moody IF Massa-
chusetts, amid warm applause. strong re-
buked Mr.. Lentz. Mr.. Cannon declared
that were Mr.. Lentz in The Philippines
he would be tried by court-marrial and
shot, Mr. Mahon that Mr.. Lenyzs
marks were revamps of the coppechead
speeches of forty years ago. and Mr. Moody
read the words of Lincoln that the man
who encourages soldier to desert is worse
! than that deserter.

PAY FOR OVERTIME.
Mr. Pearre's Effort to Secure 1t for
War Department Employees.

Mr.. Pearre of Maryland made an earnest
but unavailing effort In the House yes
terday 10 secure for the employees of the
War Department payment for their over
time work during the period of the Span
ish war, amounting to $S5,39492. MIR. Can
non however, insisted upon point OF order
against Mr.. Pearre's proposed amendment
to the sundry civil bill providing for the
payment, and the amendment was ruled
out Mr. Pearre made a plea for justice
to the employees.
This service" said Mr. Pearre. was
performed by the employees OF the w ar
Department between the 2lst day of April,
1syS. and the 3lst day of January, 1893,
and consists in extra labor done by these
men upon the demand or suggestion or
their superiors in the War Department at
u time when the government was in sore
stress and needed the extra services of
these employees. Now, sir. by a reference
TO this document. it will be observed that
the Secretary Of War recommends the pay
ment of this money without qualification
OF reservation, and that recommendation is
corroborated and backed up by previous
letter written by Secretary Alger. the pre-
ceding Secretary Of War.
This sum of money IS made up of
amounts due to these men for extra serv-
ice over the regular days labor which Is
prescribed by law, and IT seems to me that
II has come to a pretty pass when the
government Of the United States, upon
points of order or upon any other techni-
cal ground. refuses to pay its faithful,
loyal industrious and patriotic servants
the amounts due them honestly and justly
for extra work and beyond the days work
which Is legitimatey required of them.
This sum is recommended as I have said,
by the two secretaries; and no man In this
House can honestly rise In this House and
justly and fairly object to the payment of
this money. While We are appropriating
millions. aye. sums approaching a billion
with the government of the United States,
II does seem to me that the government of
the United States places itself In a pitiabe
position when 1t does not recognize the
honest and just demands of these men at a
time when the government needed and de-
manded their services"
