SOME PLAIN TALK.
FROM SENATOR TILLMAN ON THE
TARIFF In THE SENATE.
Said Present Needs of the Republi-
can Party for Campaigp Funds Care
for Trusts Necessary.

Senator Frye's joint resolution to
provide for the transportation by
American ships only of material for
use in the construction Of the Pana-
ma canal, which was brought up in
the senate Tuesday by unanimous
consent, was the subject of an ami
mated debate on various phases of
tn work of providing material for the
canal
Mr.. Frye stated that five million
barrels of cement are to he used in
the constructor Of the canal and said
that under the law American ships
cannot compete for transportation
service, as British ships cost 33 1-3
per cent. less for both construction
and for their operation. His resolu-
tion was to give the trade to Amer
ican ships, regardless of the differ
ence in cost. He submitted statistics
showing that there were 10 times as
much tonnage of Ameican vessels as
was necessary to ship the cement
needed.
An amendment by Senator Foster
Of Louisiana providing that the, re-
striction should not apply to the Gulf
ports or any part of the United States
from which vessels of the United
States could not be secured for the
trade. was accepted by Mr.. Frye.
Senator'S Fulton, of Oregon, and
Bacon, Of Georgia, sought to have
the amendment extended to the
northern Pacific and southern Allan
tic coasts, respectively, sut were un-
successful.
Mr.. Lodge commenting on the pro-
priety of securing cement on the is
thmus, said it would cost S1,00O,O00
to erect plant there for that purpose
Mr.. Culberson said there was need
of protecting the United States from
extortion by the monopolies that
would be benefited by the resolution.
Mr.. Bacon thought the resolution
should not leave the direction to the
president to determine that American
ships should be given this business
when their charges were not eXtor-
tionate nor unreasonable. He want
ed the restriction mandatory so that
every bidder could know what he
would meet in the way of transporta-
ton.
MI Tllman, declaring against buy
ing cement in the United States at
greater cost than elsewhere, called
Mr.. Lodge to his feet with the state
ment that if he wanted free cement
he should apply the same principle to
lumber and and other material used
on the canal or in this country.
II would like powerful well to
have that done,' retorted Mr.. Till
man, "as l represent good many
farmers who would be benefited by
cheap supplies"
Mr.. Tllman added that the need
for campaign funds made it necessary
to look after the interests Of the
shipping trust.
The resolution was then laid aside
until later.

FIREBUGS LYNCHED.
Four of Them Taken From an Off.
Ger and Hanged.


Dave Poe, Tom Ranston and two
Jenkins brothers, all negroes, were
lynched at Vancleave, Miss, by a
mob of 80 men Tuesday night. The
men were in the custody Of Deputy
Sheriff Evans of Jackson county en-
route to Jail when the mob overlook
them.
A series of incendiary warehouse
fires, causing losses in foodstuffs and
other supplies, incensed the people OF
the vicinity. The four negroes con-
fessed their guilt when the mob took
them from the deputy and all four
were hanged to limbs of trees by
the side Of the road where their bod
les were found the next morning.
The immediate cause of fthe lynching
was the burning of the warehouse OF
Sam Byrd last Friday night, when,
it is said, an attempt was made to
waylay and rob Byrd, who conducts
store near Vancleave.
Among the other warehouses burn
ed in the vicinity are those of W. H.
Westfall about a month ago and the
Dantzler Lumber company recently
The lynching was conducted i'll an
orderly manner.

England.
Bessie, the dog in question, is a very
valuable one, and her delighted mis-
tress regards her escape from death as
, something like a miracle.
One day Bessie thought she would
go on a little sporting expedition of her
own in the extensive grounds which
| adjoin the house, and chased a rabbit
down a big hole.
That was the last that was seen or
heard of her for twenty-six days, when
her mistress, happening to pass In the
direction of the burrow, heard faint
whines proceeding from it. Another
dog, noticing the sounds, made for the
rabbit-hole Immediately.
There his evident excitement made 1t
apparent that he had discovered some
! thing extraordinary. The lady herself
hardly dared to hope that the lost

and with pick and shovel dug open a

of the dog wedged between some stones.

The animal was tenderly lifted out of
the hole, and it was then seen what
q change had come over her. Fat as
a young pig before she went in, she
now appeared to be nothing but skin
and bone, her ribs projecting painfully
under her black and tan coat.
Very carefully she was k into
the house and fed or warm milk and
water, quickly recovering, even at
tempting later on to playfully beg
some meat from her mistress hands.
The dog had actually lived on its own
fat-it was about fourteen pounds
lighter after its entombment-but, as its
owner proudly remarked: Perhaps

EXAMINER NAMED
FOR MERGER CASE
Denver Man Appointed to Take
Testimony in Action Against
Alleged Combine.

The clerk of the United States court
yesterday received an order signed by
Judge Willis Van Devantcr of the circuit
court dated st. Paul. designating Sylves-
ter G. Williams of Denver as special ex-
amincr in the case of the United States
against the Union Pacific, Z. H. Harri-
man and a number of other defendants,
commonly called the merger case. Rob
ert s. Taylor of st. Paul was named as
chief stenographer. He has authority TO
appoint assistants.
When or where Examiner Williams will
begin his hearings is not known here. the
impression prevails that most of the tes-
tifnony will be taken in the west, and
that the examiner will move from place
TO place, as occasion and convenience de-
mands.
The suit was brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law. 1t is alleged that the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, San Pc
dro, Los Angeles a. Salt Lake, Oregon
Short Line. Santa Fe. Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads and a num-
Der of individuals entered into com
bination In restraint of trade. All OF the
defendants save the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific made answer in the suit
