delicate tissues and set up a soreness which
produce what is in reality sn external scrofula.

bhNAlHt
Although Senator Fletcher, of Florida,
has been acting as member of the
Senate since the Ali OF March, the
credentials of his election By the Florida
legislature did not arrive and were not
presented in the S,ns,e until today.
His colleague, Senator Tslisferro,
offered the credentials whereupou Ssra-
tor Burrows, chairman Of the committee
on privileges and elections, made a
brief statement 10 explanation OF the
rather unusual Incident.
The Senator was then sworn iu.
An increase to S12 in the head tex
on immigrants was proposed by Mr..
OgermsD, as an amendment to the
tariff bill. he said it would raise from
Sc, 900, 900 to SIC, 900, 600 annually and
would protect American labor.
A bill requiring railroads TO safe
guard passengers by properly manning
their trains, wss introduced by Mr..
Blrsh.
The tariff bill was then taken up and

discuss his income tax amendment. At
the outset be discussed the general ques-
ton of taxation, declaring that free
trade, however desirable it might be, was
impossible 10 this country. He denoun-

SHOOTING IN WARRENTON.

AS the outcome OF l0ng-standlDg
grudgs, Prof.J.D. Harris, principal Of the
Warrenton High School, shot and
fatally wounded W. A. Thompson,
one OF the editors aud owners OF toe
Warrenton Virginian, on Main street,
in Wsrreptop, at 6 O'Clock Saturday
evening. Mr.. Thompson was taken to
the Emergency Hospital, in Washing
ton. Prof. Harris Was placed under
arrest.
The shooting caused intense excite.
ment. No one was near when the
shots were fred, or heard the quarrel
which preceded them, so that 1t is not
definitely known what the trouble was.
Prof. Harris declares that he shot 10
self-defense.
Prof. Harris was released on $40, 900
bail at late hour Saturday night. The
bail was furnished by four Of the most
prominent men OF Wsrreuton.
There had been ill.feeling between
Professor Harris and Mr.. Thompson
for some time. 1t ia said by those In a
position 10 know that their differences
we're the outcome of bill for newspaper
advertising which Mr.. Thompson alleged
vas owed to him by Prof. Harris, and
that it Was an argument over this that
led up TO The shooting.
Another theory for the shooting Is
that the cause leading up TO it was
bitterness over the contest for the
SUPPLEMENTARY OF the Fauquier coun-
ty schools. Mr.. Thompson's partner
10 the Virginian, w. E. Marshall, is a
candidate to succeed himself In that
position, and the former had been his
ardent supporter.
Professor Harris Is also candidate
for the position, aud 1t is said that there
has been considerable i'll telling between
the two on that account.
When Mr.. Thompson met Professor
Harris On the street Saturday evening
he sccosted him. There we're angry
words and Mr.. Thompson is alleged to
have attacked Harris. Whether or not
he struck him Is not known, and 1t has
not been asceriained il he was armed.
5uddsnly, Professor Harris whipped
out pistol and fred three times, each
shot taking effect, two in the lower part
of the stomach, piercing the intestines,
and one in the hip.
Alter the shooting Professor Harris
Immediately surrendered himself to an
officer aud was locked up.
The first man to reach Thompson's
side after the shooting was Mason
Strother, salesman for CHARLES King, Of
Alexandria. Oiber citizens, who had
been attracted by the shots, quickly
gathered and Thompson was hurried to
the Warren Green Hotel, Alter
consultation Of physicians it Was decided
to remove Thompson to the Emergency
Hospital 10 Washington. A special
train wss arranged for aud the wounded
man was taken aboard the train, which
was given a clear track on the Southern
road.
On reaching Washington he was
taken at once to the hospital where an
operation was Immediately performed.
He died at els O'Clock last night.
The body was sent to WsrrentoD this
morning.
Professor Hsrris stated that last Oc-
tober he and Mr.. Thompson had diff
iculty, in which Mr. Thompson beat
him severely, and there had been bad
feeling ever since.

to enjoy the laws advantage. The eff
feet Of the latter was to place the Aueri-
csn consumer at the mercy OF the Amer
lean manufacturer. Mr.. Bailey said
that his income tax amendment would
yield 80 annual revenue OF $50, 900, 600
aud to that extent tighten the burden
that restS upon labor.
