THE SCENE OF AN ENCOUNT-
FIR BETWEEN SENATOR'S
BAILEY AND BEVER-
IDGE
SCUFFLE WAS LIVELY.
Bailey Demands a Retraction by
Beveridge, and Failing to Get
it, He Chokes Beveridge
Until Dragged Away by
Senator Spooner.

Washington, June 3O.-The clos
ing session of Congress were enliven-
ed in the Senate this afternoon by a
personal attack by Senator Bailey, of
Texas, upon Senator Beveridge, of
Indiana, similar in many respects to
the famous fist fggt that occurred in
the same chamber on Washington's
birthday of the present year between
Senators Tillman and McLaurin of
South Carolina. No blows were
struck today, but according to state
ments of witnesses, the attacking
Senator first threatened to kill his
colleague from Indiana and then
choked him fiercely until dragged
away by Senator SpOoner, of Wis
consin and the sergeant-at-arms of
the Senate. According to Senator
Spooner, Mr.. Beveridge was not
choked at all, and the Senator from
Texas did not lay his hands on him.
The Senate had adjourned when
the affair took place, but the doors
had not been opened after the eXecu-
tive session. Nearly all of the Sena-
tors had left the chamber and the
only persons who witnessed the af-
fair were Messrs. Spooner, Hanna,
kittridge, McComas and Sergeant
alarms Ransdell.
According to Mr.. Bailey's state
ment, made after he had left the
building, he walked over to the Re
publican side of the chamber where
Mr.. Beveridge was seated talking to
Senators Hanna and Spooner, and
demanded that he withdraw state
ment made in the debate in open
session l. his reflections upon So
licitor Penfeld of the state depart
ment were unwarranted. Upon his
refusal, Mr.. Bailey lost his temper,
exclaiming without an oath, "I'l
kill you" and then grabbing Bever-
idge by the throat, choked him un-
til dragged away by Senator Spoon
er and the sergeant-at-arms. He then
retired to the Democratic cloak room
and little later left the building.
According to the statement Of Sen
ator Spooner, Senator Bailey came
over to the chair where Senator Bev-
eridge was sitting and demanded
that he withdraw his statement.
Beveridge, without rising, said "I
. can't do that. My remark was in no
sense offensive and was not intended
to be so, and [ could not withdraw
it without inferentially endorsing
your statement as to Penfield.' -
Again Bailey demanded that the re-
mark be withdrawn and again Bev-
eridge, with continued good nature,
declined. The Texas Senator there
upon drew back as if to attack .Bev-
eridge when Spooner pushed him
away saying, "Why Bailey, this is
foolish. There is no cause for a row.
You are entirely in the wrong"
Somewhat Of a scuff1e then ensued.
Senator Beveridge would make nc
direct statement for publication thi:
evening. He said, however, that he
had not changed his collar since the
Senate adjourned, and he was wear
ing very high and stiff one.
Senator Bailey said there was NJ
course open to him but the one ht
pursued, and added that he had no
intended choking the Indiana Sena
tor when he first crossed the cham
Der to talk to him, but had it in hi
mind to slap his face.

Very Noticeable.
London, June 3O.-The bulletin
on the Kings condition issued at
buckingham Palace at 10 o'clock
this morning says:
ellis Majesty has slept well. The
dressing of the wound gives much
distress, but there is no bad symptom
of any kind. (Signed)
"TREVEs,
"SMITH,
"LAKING,
"BARLOW."
The following bulletin was issued
from Buckingham Palace at 7 p. m.:
"The King has had a fairly COM
Portable day and the discomfort in
the wound has been less. (Signed)
'TREvEs,
Glazing,
"BARLoW."
In view of the Kings continued
improvement no further bulletin
will be issued tonight.
The noticeable excitement during
past week outside Buckingham Pal
ace at the hours the bulletin were
posted was entirely absent today.
The sanguine impression created by
the doctors reports Saturday and
Sunday was maintained by the sail
ent phrase in this mornings bulle-
tin, 'tNo bad symptom of any kind"
At noon the following official
statement was given out at the pal
ace:
"There is no cause for alarm in
the distress caused by the dressing of
the wound. This occurs at least
twice daily. The wound, which is
of considerable depth, is dressed
from the bottom, as it is essential
that it should heal from within out
wards. The dressing causes His
Majesty considerable pain, which he
has borne with great fortitude. In
fact, His Majasty's courage and pa
tience call for the greatest admira-
ton.
EFThe King was much benefited
by the change to the couch yesterday,
on which he stayed for few hours.
The electric fans have proved of
great value in keeping down the
temperature Of the apartment. The
Queen is in constant attendance in
the sick room, but the utmost quiet
is enforced. The King occasionally
sees his children, but the interviews
are of short duration. No matters OF
state or business are allowed to be
submitted to the King, who is also
debarred from reading his CORE
spondence. Neither Doctors LAX
ing, Barlow nor Treves have left the
palace since the operation, except fo1
an occasional hour"

LOSS IRREPARABLE.
John Montgomery is Knocked aense-
less and Robbed of a Priceless
Treasure.
Charlotte Observer.


Charlotte Observer.
Bleeding from wounds in his head
and presenting a very dilapidated
appearance, John Montgomery, col
ored, appeared at the police station
at late hour last night and said
with tears in his voice:
"Dey TUX my water million"
Then Montgomery asked that a
known negroes, who had assaulted
him. He said that he had started
to his home on East First street car
rying his Sunday rations Of meat
and flour and the additional delicacy
of watermelon. Suddenly three
negroes appeared, knocked him to
the ground senseless, and when he
came to, his melon, meat and flour
were gone. He had little thought
for the staff Of life or the bacon, but
he reiterated in a sobbing voice:
"Dey TUX my water million"
The police at once became sympa-
thetic, and took steps to apprehend
Montgomery's assailants. They
realized the enormity of the crime
committed. Montgomery is typi-
cal darkey of the industrious type,
who works hard all the week and
gorges himself and his family on
Sunday. To him the Georgia water
melon-the joyous herald of many
gladstone midsummer feasts-Was
more than Philadelphia ice cream to
an orphans home; more than pate
de fois gras to a French frog eater;
much more than the rarest out-of-
season dainties to the most exacting
gourmand.
obey TUX my water million.'
What cared Montgomery for big
soda biscuits or the rasher of meat
with its thin gravy? For a week he
had seen in the shops the imported
high-priced melons. He had thought
on the rich, red heart, and its ooz-
ing, succulent touch, and he had
saved his money and bided his time.
With the melon under his arm he
had pictured sublimly beautiful
scene. He had seen himself and the
melon surrounded by his wife and
little pickaninnies. There we've
smiles that would have lightened d
cavern, the rollicking roll of whites
of eyes, and a gleam of even, white
teeth. He had raised his trusty
knife and revelling in his task, had
slowly buried it to the hilt in the
melon. A long easy draw, the crisp
fresh sound of a break, and then q
great peace and untold happiness in
describable abounded in the home
of the Montgomerys.

Denver, June 29.-The drought
which threatened to be the most Sc
we're that Colorado has known for
years, was broken by heavy and
widespread rain. Though the storm
in places was accompanied by hail
that did much damage, this is trivial
compared with the value Of the crops
saved by the rain.
The loss in Denver and vicinity is
estimated all the way from $4,000
to $4,000. Snow fell to the depth
of eight inches in Leadville and
many other places in the mountains.

Sale to Weiser People.

One of the latest and most i'm port
ant transactions in Thunder Mountain
was the sale by Jas. Jewell to Weiser
people, of the Victor, Donley, West
Fork, Junction and Resort placer
claims, consideration $4,000.
These claims embrace tract of 28O
acres of land on Monumental creek
at the junction of the West Fork OF
that stream about one mile north OF
Roosevelt, The land is covered with
good, timber and is one of, if not the
best location in the Thunder Mt.
district, for town, and it is the
idea of the purchasers to have part
of the ground plated for that pur-
pose as soon as the preliminary ar
engagements can be made. A force
of men will be QUILTED at once and
sent in to work the properties.

The Eureka and Eastern Seem to Be
Assured
THROUGH VERY Rich SECTION
Lord Thurlow Now in California to Get the
Work Started.

The Salt Lake Tribune of last
Monday contains the latest express
sion on the new railroad as follows
'sThe Eureka & Eastern, the road
to be built from Eureka, CAL, to
Weiser, Idaho, is attracting much
attention in the railroad world Lord
Thurlow, of England, and George
II. Proctor, of New York, are the
prime movers in the enterprise and
are now in California to work out the
details. For several years such a
line has been preached and the route
through California and Oregon has
been fully described. The Tribune
has often spoken Of this route in con-
nection with the extension of the N
q. and o., the Sumpter Valley and
other roads, the region to be pene-
trated being without any railroad
facilities nearer than the Shasta
route on one side and the Oregon
systems on the north. The line
would pass through Humboldt, Trim
ity, Shasta, Lassen, and Modoc
counties in California; Lake, Harvey
and Malheur counties in Oregon and
enter Idaho across the Snake at
Weiser. The country to be traversed
II one OF the richest in the world
and with the exception of the lava
beds OF Modoc county is all easy to
cultivate, while the mountains are
filed with mineral and the great
timber belt east of Mount Shasta is
In the direct route of the new road.
1t lie said that the road is financed
and work will begin on the grade
this summer. 1t will be a great
thing for Weiser.
The reason that the route bears
sooth from Eureka is the fact that
the Siskiyou range and the gorges
OF the upper Sacramento river form
impossible barries to the road. fact
that will be fully shown when per-
son travels over the Shasta route of
the Southern Pacific. The new road
will go south to gain crossing of
the Sacramento river and also get
over the mountains there at the low
elevation of 800 feet The rest of
route is not at all difficult. y

"There is only one way for railroad
to go-that is from Meadows over to
the Payette lake, up the Pay cite
river, over Secesh summit, down Sc
cesh creek to South Fork and up East
Fork to Thunder Mountain This
would give water grade all the way.
Secesh summit is no climb at all and
the hardest part of the road would be

would be no very heavy grades and it
is the only way rails can be put into
