delivered a most able speech on the
subject exposing the fallacies Of the
republican reasoning with q search
ing logic. Senator Depew support
ed the measure, as did also Senator
Foraker, but the latter's support
was half-hearted. He admitted
that he was opposed to the bounty
system, and would greatly prefer
helping the shipping interests by
discriminating duties, but stated
that he would vote for the bill be-
cause the majority favored it.
Senator Morgan has determined
to report the Hepburn bill back to
the Senate without amendment and
he told me one day last week that
lit would pass, but Senator Hanna
will carry his fight for the Spooner
amendment onto the floor of the
Senate, and the contest will be a
bitter one. The Senator from Ohio
is very angry with the Senator from
Alabama because of the latter's de-
termination, and makes all kinds OF
dire threats. That the senators will
treat the Senate to another Tillman-
McLauren episode is hardly to be
expected, although it is known that
they nearly came to blows at one OF
the committee meetings, and they
are very irascible old gentlemen.
The constant and severe applica-
ton of the republican whip has
about procured harmony in the
House on the question of Cuban re-
ciprocity, and it is expected that
the joint committee which has been
appointed to settle the difference be-
tween the beet sugar men and thu
party leaders will announce the
terms Of the agreement to-day. The
magnificent discipline Of the repub-
lican party has served it we'll in this
issue, although, as used by Speaker
Henderson and his lieutenants, it is
tyrannical to an extent far in excess
Of any method ever adopted by
Scar" Reed.
The House has passed the rural
free delivery bill, after providing
that the rural carriers shall receive a

The postofiice appropriation bill

urday was devoted to a discussion
of private bills, and it is hoped that
the Ways and Means committee
will be prepared at noon to-day to
report the Cuban reciprocity meas
ure.

apartments on the night of October
II. j. W. Kelley is on trial for the
crime, but the woman maintains that
she alone is guilty, and, although the
Montana officer vas not furnished
with the necessary extradition papers,
she seemed willing and anxious to
stand trial.
Madame La Bonita sticks to her first
story, but the sheriff does not credit
it. Sheriff Furey took with him the
discriminating letters found by De-
tective Gibson in the woman's apart
ments after her arrest.

POLICE CHIEF ASSAULTED.
Representative.Eiect Bested Anaconda
Officer.

Anaconda, Dec. 2.-Chief of Police
William Taylor was today badly beat
en- up in an encounter with Fred
Gangner, who was recently elected to
the legislature on the labor ticket
from Deer Lodge county.
The aiflay occurred in Gangner's
saloon in East Anaconda. During the
tight Gangner threw Taylor to the
floor and was about to hit him again
when the chief threatened to shoot.
Gangner IN learning that Taylor had
a u with him took it away and put
it in his W pocket. After a few
final struggles, Gangner is said to
have administered a quietus. He then
helped Taylor to his feet, washed the
gore from his countenance and had
him driven home in a hack.
The trouble is said to have original
ed from an old grievance. Gangner
was at n time alderman and was
opposed to Chief of Police Taylor
Taylor. so it is alleged, came into
Gangner's saloon today and the two,
on discussing the old quarrel, soon
engaged in a fight. No arrests were
made.
1t was attempted to keep the affair
quiet and the story was given out
that the chief had slipped on the ice
and hurt himself.
