CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED.
Was Walking Across Bridge and Says
 He Was Struck.

Thomas J. McCartaney of Johns Ala, was knocked down three times, and it is supposed robbed last night on the Twen- ty-frst street bridge by unknown per sons. His head was crushed and bruised by whatever weapon the assassins used and City Physician Whelan was called to the city jail to attend to the wounds.
 For a while after he was brought to the jail he was rambling in his remarks and cried pitifully for a doctor, saying he was bleeding to death and suffering great agony.
 McCartaney claimed to be an employe of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company and as far as could be learned from him in the condition he was, he walking across the bridge when he was struck by heavy weapon on the head. As he staggered he was again struck and still a third time before he hit the ground.
 Policeman Mcdonald brought the man to the pail and there lodged charge of disorderly conduct against him, 1t being claimed by the police that he was drunk.

Seven reasons why "oId 4-Father"

Seven reasons why "OId 4-Father" Rye is the best whiskey:-
 It Is pure, old, rich and mellow, and is never bottled until 1t is 15 years old.
 1t stimulates and invigorates.
 1t is aged by time and, therefore, 1t is natures pleasant tonic. 1t con. tains, no foreign sweetenlne matter and, therefore, does not ferment or make sour stomach.
 1t does not burn when you drink it, thereby proving that it is chemically pure.
 It is aged by nature, viz., light, heat, air and age.
 It was drank years ago by our Fore fathers, and they knew pure whiskey was the best.

ed to the rattle of Republican applause that no man in recent years had reflect ed as much credit on our diplomatic af- fairs as the present head of the state department MT. Boutelle discussed the Chinese crisis with the Russian proposi- ton and the rejection of the German proposition for the surrender of certain of the Chinese leaders.
 Mir Wheeler asked if it were not fact that at the time of the German and other negotiations mentioned Mr. Hay was absent and the negotiations were conducted by Secretary Root with the assistance of the acting secretary Of the state department, Mir. Adee.
 MT Boutelle insisted MT. Hay had con- ducted the negotiations. The excitement occasioned by Mir Wheeler's speech then subsided, and the consideration of pen sion bills was resumed.
 Later in the day MT. Grosvenor secured the floor and replied at length to MT. Wheeler. He denominated MT. Wheeler s remarks about the forthcoming visit Of Prince Henry as bitter attack upon the President of the United States, the House and Senate, and incidentally upon all whom the prince would come in contact.
 Grosvenor Feels Hurt.
 Just at the time when the American people were to be put to the test whether they were gentlemen, he said, it was most unfortunate that this protest should come against the reception of Prince Henry. The speech of the gentlemen from Ken lucky would be exploited in Europe to- morrow on the eve of the prince's depar- lure as the greeting of the American peo- pie to their guest. MT. Wheeler interposed 10 say he should gladly welcome any gen. tleman from abroad-what he objected to was the official color to be given to the visit.
 MT. Grosvenor asserted that in sending 3 deputation to the coronation of King Edward, the present occupant of the White House had simply carried out the plans of the deceased President, who had already selected the head of the commits sion.
 MT. Grosvenor then took up MT. Wheel CTS speech, reading from 1t the term Little Out chman." which MT. Wheeler had applied to Prince Henry.
 MT Grosvenor said that while the gen. tleman might he indifferent as to the good will of Ger us it would be differ snt late in the -an when persimmons were ripe.
 Prince Henry was a brother of the German emperor. He was not a Dutch. man but a Teuton, a eerman. He was an admiral in the German navy, tht same who had been sent to Manila tc protect German interests and when ont of his ships got in the way Dewey haC Informed him that if the ship did not get out of the way in short order there would be trouble.
 Then he took 1t away like a gentle. man. remarked MT. Grosvenor amid laughter.
 Replying Mr. Wheeler said: "I object to the republic of the United States un. dertaking to play the flunky at the foot of little German Prince and I object to the United States sending emissaries abroad to whistle their fingers and dance attendance in the antechamber of some Britisher because he Is going to wear a crown.
 At $50 p. m. the house adjourned until Monday.
