M'CLEARY is RAPID
According to the Congressional
Record He's a Fast TaIker

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
Representative William S. Cowherd,
chairman of the Democratic congress
sional campaign committee, hearing
that the government printing Office was
to issue the Congressional Record con-
tanning several speeches by Republican
members of congress nearly two
months after the adjournment of con-
gfess, called at the Office and protested.
Consultation of the Congressional Rec
ord will show, as Mr.. Cowherd states,
that the only semblance of excuse for
the Issue of the Record for a recent
day, which contained two speeches by
Representative James T. McCleary, of
Minnesota, and one speech by Repre-
sentative Marlin E. Olmstead, of Penn
syiYania, was one minute yielded to
debate to Mr.. Olmstead There is no
word anywhere In the Record of per-
mission to Mr.. McCleary to extend his
remarks.
The magnitude of this violation of
the privileges of members to print may
be seen by an examination of the Rec
ord that contained the three speeches
On Monday, June 20. Mr. McCleary's
speech contains not less than rs, 900
words, while that by Mr. Oimstead,
with one minute leave to speak as his
authority, has $4,000 words. a speech
which it would, n-average. calculation.
take about seven hours to deliver. That
by Mr.. McCleary would take fully
twenty-five hours to deliver. A few
days before the adjournment of con-
gress there had been SO evident dis
position to abuse the printing privileges
that the minority leader, Mr. Williams,
protested.

After Causing Fire Alarm He
Produces Coin in Court

NEW YORK, July ia tew-head-

key, owned by Giuseppi Degitio, not
only caused a section of the New York
fire department to rush pell nell
through the streets, scared French
maid and Swedish ditto into fits and
reused the volcanic Ire of an Irish DO
lieeman, but then had himself and his
owner arrested on charge of disor-
derby conduct.
To cap the climax of Jocko,s glory,
he produced the money required to
make up the 50 fine imposed on his
owner in the West side police court.
1t was this way. Jocko pursuing the
fieesome penny, scaled the walls of a
house at Riverside drive and One
Hundred and Eighth street, upsetting
rubber plants and other alleged floral
delicacies, one Of which descended on
the dome of thought of Thomas K
Lynch, policeman. Mr.. Lynch was
annoyed. He said SO in picturesque
language, and after failing to capture
the monkey, which scared occupants of
the house, the policeman summoned a
hook and ladder, which got the festive
sirnian.
The magistrate fined the music man
ufacturer 81. Giuseppe excavated
through his pockets and got s1.99. In
despair he said something to the mon
key, who solemnly produced one cent

And there was nothing that Capt.
jerks loved more than fight. And
Ellington O'Keefe took quick note Of
all these things.
O'Keefe thought and thought and
thought. And he kept his eye peeled
for any chance of escape One day
when the captain was out of sight
somewhere O'Keefe sighted a vessel
off to sfarboard. The air was as clear
as bell; O'Keefe could see the vessel
she was steamer-with distinct

There was little breeze and they
were drifting along Jenkins was in
his cabin sleeping off the effects of a
debauch. The mate for the moment
was out of sight. O'Keefe scratched
his head and thought. AS he thought,
his eye caught sight of the flag that
the Sarah Margaret was flying. Quick
as wink he sprang to the mast and
lowered the flag Then he reversed 1T.
and hoisted it again, but this time up

he heard a roar. 1t issued from the

had done, and made for him, and for
the halyard. There was struggle. The
mate was more active than was
O'Keefe, but O'Keefe was able to keen
him away from the mast, and did so
by means of much scuffiing and sour
rying about. The crew looked on.

of Flat Building

NEW YORK, July 16.-There is
strike in the air in the Majestic apart
ment house, at One Hundred and For
ty-fifth street and ST. Nicholas avenue,
with a small but determined body of
tenants backed by neighbors, butcher
boys, grocer boys and bakers, several
Chinese laundrymen one one side, and
George Dalker, owner Of the house and
manager, who sits from morn to night
in a cage in the grand lobby, with
"Joe," the elevator boy, on the other.
John G. Wait, an assistant corpora
ton counsel under the Low admins
tration, who lives in the house with his
wife and four children, is the leader of
the opposition.
Mr.. Waits son Justin plays with the
sons of DR.. z. Pratt across the street.
They play baseball-and the cornet.
Mr.. Dalker has an aversion for comets.
Wednesday night Dalker nipped mu-
sicale in the bud by bouncing them out
of the elevator. = Mr.. Wait, in anger,
interviewed the manager in his; cage

boy and the baker have felt, it is said.
and Mr.. Wait, with prudence retreated
into the elevator, shouting:

Dalker dfved Into the elevator and
got three punches, one on his nose, one
on his chin and one over the eye. He
went down and Wait sat on him.
Then "Joe" grabbed the discarded
club ana was about to render first aid

freely.
Capt. Noteworthy jenkins hove into
view, with murder in his eye. He did
not know what was up, but he felt in

fighting drunk.
The mate, still struggling, told him
what it was. He listened for an in

The steamer, which had paused, now
blew an answering toot, and proceeded
on its way.

O,Keefe had seen quite enough of
Capt. jerks to understand that he was

Ellington O'Keefe did not relish the
prospect of paying out one half of his

Cruelty with him was innate.
And Ellington O'Keefe soon found
it out. He was kicked and cuffed

however, that good work did not pur-

CHAPTER Ill,
Capt. jerks of the Merchant Marine

Ellington O'Keefe slept for some
eighteen hours. Art is an improve
ment upon nature. Mr.. Smiths little
saturated rag was responsible for this
somnolence. The process of awaken
Ing was, gradual one, and beyond
the fact that his bed was unusually
hard, Mr.. Ellington was quite unaware
that he was not in his own home His
breathing was Stertorous; he snored
generously. This semi-conscious pc
riod, did Mr.. O'Keefe only know it,
constituted the happiest time he would
experience upon the Sarah Margaret
Tor many and many day,
Finally he awoke. Awoke but to
ind himself with a splitting headache
and tendency to Seasickness within
This latter sensation was due rather to
the drug than to the motion of. the boat
for the sea was calm.
AT first O'Keefe could not see He
was in narrow bunk in the hold of
the vessel, and the hold was dark. He
could smell, however, and the odors of
the hold did not please him. He could
near, and he heard many noises above
his head and few around him. These
latter came from other snorers like
himself, for no less than five men had
been shanghaied upon this trip Most
OF them, however, were merely drunk.
For many moments O'Keefe lay in
wondering. He was not yet able to
reason-he took everything for grant
ed. He attempted to lift his head, but
1t fell back heavily upon the board that
served him for mattress
Finally, however, he succeeded He
raised himself with great care upon his
elbow and peered out over the side OF
his bunk.
Good Lordi" he muttered to him
self, holding one hand to his aching
head, what police station am I INF
Where am I at2"
Gradually he made out that he was
In long and narrow room, and that
on both sides of this room were hunks
just like his own. He could make out
the forms of men within these hunks
Then he turned and looked inside OF
his own bunk. He did not look yery
long. He. concluded that that was not
the place for him.
At the end of the room he saw q
perpendicular shaft of light He lifted
one leg over the side of the bunk, and
then half climbing, half dropping. he
fell suddenly to the floor. There he lay
he knew not for how long. No one dis
turbed him.
O'Keefe was a man of-action, and he
was rapidly regaining full possession
of his senses. His spirit was Willing
and his flesh had to follow suit He
could not understand a good many
things about his present plight, but he
determined to find out about it. at any
rate. Finally he rose to his feet and
staggered like drunken man toward
the shaft of light. Behind this shaft OF
light there was a ladder. He knew that
the light was the place for him, and
that the ladder was the way to get to
1T. He determined to climb the ladder
He made a sudden splurge and climbed
half way up; his strength deserted him
and he fell back ANONYMOUSLY to the
floor.
1t took him fifteen minutes to as

hoor above he found that there was
still another ladder TO climb. He sat
down and rested. All the while the
sounds above kept UP. There was also

HAS OLD VERDICT
AGAINST CLEVELAND
Farmer Sued Him as President
for Loss to Wool Clip
Due to Tariff

GUTHRIE, Okla, July 16.-G. S. Van
Eman, of Jennings, resident of Paw
nee county since the opening of the
territory in 1889, has the distinction of
being the only man, so far as known,
to sue president Of the United States
and secure judgment while the presi-
dent was serving his term of office.
Van Eman actually brought suit
against Grover Cleveland. following the
passage of the Wilson tariff bill, got
service by publication and secured a
judgment against the president for
$500.
Van Eman was the owner of an inn
mense sheep ranch in Kansas, and dur
ing the years of Republican rule had
made snug fortune from the annual
wool clip. Following the passage of
the Wilson tariff measure, he claimed
that the price of wool was SO lessened
that the sheep business was practically
ruined. This was the cause of his suit
against the then president. He attrib-
uted the entire blame for the price Of
wool going down to the president, be-
cause of the latter's approval of the
tariff bill.
The judgment was never collected, as
President Cleveland never got in reach
of an execution, but Van Eman has
always held that in securing the judg-
ment he had about evened up matters,
although the wool for several seasons
was very low in price.
The credit is also given Van Eman
for the political story, told during the
past few campaigns by practically
every Republican politician on the
stump, regarding the manner in which
farmers and sheep growers sheared
sheep after the passage of the Wilson
bill. Van Eman>was the originator of
the story that he was ashamed to look
a sheep In the face under the tariff
conditions forced upon him, SO during
the remainder OF Mr.. Gleyeland's term
he made practice of beginning at
the other end of the sheep to shear it,
Van Eman carries the copy of the
judgment he secured and shows 1t with
great satisfaction to all his friends,
saying that If ever the opportunity
presents itself ne viii hand the court
record to Mr.. Cleveland for settlement
