keenest judgment in congressional af-
fairs, he attained prominence, not only
as a leader in the senate, but in the
country at large and by many men was
considered the most available man in
his party for the presidency. He
was chairman of the executive COM
mittee and managed the campaign
that resulted in the election of Cleve-
land in 1884
The most notable contest of his
, congressional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything else, was when he led the
senate minority in 1890-91 and defeat
ed the federal elections bill. To his
sagaciOus leadership and adroit man
agement his party friends attributed
the defeat Of the measure which was
so obnoxious to the south.
When the democrats had control of
the senate, German was the recognized
leader of that body. 1t was at that
time that the tariff bill of 1894 was
passed, and although the Maryland
senator was not a member of the
finance committee, he had so much to
do with, shaping that measure that his
name is often given to it and, in fact,
it is frequently called the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff. 1t was during Clevelands
last administration that a break oc-
Cured between the Democratic presi-
dent and the leader of the party in
senate. In speech which always
will be remembered by those who
heard it, Senator German severely ar
raigned the president. To this oppo-
sition the defeat of Senator German
a few years later Is attributed, al.
though his party lost Maryland in the
silver campaign. AS soon as the dem.
ocrats regained control of the state he
was at once reelected to the senate
1t was a tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again in the
senate he was made leader of the mi
nority and although the seniority rule
is strictly enforced, German was Civ.
en- committee places that were equal
to those he had held after long con-
tinuous service.
Senator German was vigorously op-
posed to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines, and fought the ratification Of
the Paris treaty with all the force he
possessed. Knowing that strong pres.
sure was being brought to bear against
him, he urged an early vote while
the friends of the treaty held back
until the necessary two-thirds Of the
senators were secured. Condemnine
extravaganza in public expenditures,
Senator Germans pleas for economy
voiced the views Of his party that less
money should be spent for big ships
and more for river and harbor i'm.

so SHS ~A06S VI SIttOs
Steubenville, O.. June 4.-The armed
guard on duty at the mines of the U.
S. coal company were ambushed by
striking miners about 1890 o'clock
Monday morning while marching over
the hills from Glenns Run to Coal
Hollow. About 500 shots were fired,
and four persons were wounded, but
as far as known, no one was killed.
The miners were all foreigners
Shortly after midnight 63 armed men
started over the hills from Glenn's
Run for Coal Hollow.
The strikers who were incensed over
an assault on one of their number,
gathered at point about midway be-
tween the two mines. There were
250 men, all armed, and they secreted
themselves behind trees and rocks
along the hillsides.
The guard was in single file, and as
the advance came in view, one of the
strikers fired into the air. This was
the signal and following it there was
a perfect fusillade from the concealed
men.
Many of the guards broke and ran
back to the Glenn's Run, but num-
Der stood their ground and returned
the fire
1t is said at least 500 shots were
exchanged. The guard was finally
routed and forced to seek shelter,
leaving two hundred on the field.
Two miners were also injured in the
battle. 1t is said the miners were
officered by former soldiers from the
Polish and Austrian armies. 1t has
been decided to call on the adjutant
general for troops.
There was another conflict between
striking miners and guards at Plum
Run during the night. About IS shots
were exchanged and T. E. Young,
manager of the mines, was slightly
wounded. No one else, it is said, was
hurt.

TOURISTS INFLUX SHOWN
BY INCREASING LICENSES
EXPRESS AND JUNK MEMS RANKS
ARE AUGMENTED
Scores Are Getting City Permits to
Do Business, Which They Say Has
Fine OutIook-Prvilege Costs One
Dollar Month

No more tangible evidence of the
influx of tourists outside of the rush
at the hotels and depots Is to be found
than the increase of licenses for ex-
pressmen and junk dealers. They are
storming the city hall with requests
for licenses.
Los Angeles exacts a fee Of SO for
every three months from express
wagon and junk-wagon drivers for the
privilege of doing business. So far $40
licenses have been taken out by ex-
press men. Junk licenses are consid-
erably less.
"It's a poor junk man who cannot
make from $4 to 81 a day during the
tourist season." said one of them at
the city hall yesterday 1.-THE trick is
all in the buying. There is profit in
it, anyway.
About three carloads of junk are
sent from here to Chicago every day.
The cloth stuff Is made into shoddy
clothes, the scrap goes to steel con-
Germs. The bottles are sold here and
they bring a good revenue after they
are assembled and sorted according to
grades.
Because of immense hotel and room
ing house interests here in Los An
geles' there is an immense field for
old clothes, castaway stuff, bottles
and the like. With people coming and
going all the year round the travellers
leave all Surplus baggage and goods
behind-all velvet for the junk man.
1--WE have our harvest, too"
The business on the books of the
license office is increasing daily. The
number of miscellaneous licenses made
out. signed and delivered to the office
now aggregates 5163.
