An Angry Elephant.

A sentinel in the menagerie at Paris
has had curious experience with one
Of the largest elephants. The sentinel
was very conscientious and always re-
quested the spectators not to give the
animals anything to eat, which seemed
to displease the elephant in question to
such an extent that he several times
sprinkled the sentry's head with water
from his trunk. One day bystander
offered this particular elephant large
cake. The sentinel interfered, as
usual, and the elephant promptly dis
charged In his face a violent stream of
water. A general laugh ensued, but
the sentinel, having calmly wiped his
face, stood on one side and continued
as Watchful as before. Soon after
ward he found it necessary to repeat
his admonltion, but no sooner was this
uttered than the elephant laid hold of
his musket, twirled it round his trunk,
trod 1t under his feet and did not re.
store 1t until he had twisted it into
nearly the form of a corkscrew. Then
he gave snort at the discounted
sentinel, as if to say, "Now l hope
you'll mind your own business!'

NO FURTHER ARRESTS 5.
IN The S|GEL CASE
Icons Accuser Says He Does
Not Know His Hiding Place.

New York, June 24.-If the state
ment made by Chung Sin accusing
Leon Ling of having killed Elsie Sigel
has given the authorities any tangible
clue to the hiding place of Leon the
police have not made it known and it
has resulted in no arrests. In the
maze of conflicting stories told by
Chung, and even after he apparently
gave in under incessant accusations
and questions of the police. Chung is
quoted as asserting that he does not
know where Leon fled after tying Miss
Sigels body in the trunk, although he
admitted giving Leon the larger part
of $3.50 which Chung had borrowed
from Chu Gain.
The renewed activity of the police
during and after Chung's statement
might indicate, however, that he told
a great deal more about Leon than
the police have allowed to become
public. There was much telegraphing
about the country by the police follow
ing Chung's story that he saw Leon
strangling the woman.
Chung's reluctance In telling the
facts, his evident first intention to
deny that he knew anything at all
about the murder and his extraor-
binary indifference as to the terrible
fate of the young woman all convince
the police that he has by no means
told all he knows about the murder.

Duty on Sawed Lumber Advanced
From 81 to $3.50 Per Thousand Feet

Amendments Intended to Lower
the Committees Recomm endation
Had Been Defeated.
Washington, June 24.-Without a
sign of a speech the senate began
voting on the lumber schedule as
soon as a quorum had been procured.
Whether due to the hot weather or to
exhaustion of the orators from other
causes the change was accepted as a
good omen by those who are anxious
to crowd the tariff bill to final action
and have the session come to an end.
The first vote was on an amendment
by Senator McCumber, proposing a
rate of 81 per thousand on sawed lum-
Der instead of the rate decided upon
by the finance committee, which was
$3.50 per thousand. The committee
was sustained, a. to "a. OF those vot-

All Amendments Meet Like Fate.
Insisting that the differentials on
planned or finished lumber provided by
the finance committee we're unneces-
sarily high Mr.. McCumber offered an
amendment reducing them 331s per
cent and reducing the duty on sawed
lumber to 1928 a thousand feet. Mr.
McCumber's amendment was rejected
by 80 to 40. s-.~
Without loss of time the vote was
then taken on the main proposition,
the finance committees amendment
placing duty of $3.50 on sawed lum-
Der, with differentials on finished lum-
Der. The committee won by the large
majority of so to %. .. ..--
In quick succession several other
paragraphs of the lumber schedule
were agreed to- By amendments Of
fered by Mr.. Aldrich and agreed to
by the senate the duty on clapboards
was increased from 81 to $3.50 per
thousand; on laths from 20 to Is cents
per thousand: pieces and on shingles
from 30 to so cents.
From the beginning of the session
there has been decided contest over
the lumber rate and one Of the hard
est fights made by the Northwestern
senators had been for free lumber.
ln the house the reformers succeeded
IN reducing the Dingley law rate from
81 TO 1. They continued their efforts
In the senate, but finding themselves
unable to make any impression there
In the interest of free lumber they
would have been willing to accept the
house rate. So stiff, however, was
the sentiment against them that they
succeeded only in getting a reduction
OF 25 per cent from the Dingley duty.
The majority against any reduction,
as shown by the vote, indicates not
only that the committees schedule
will remain unchanged in the senate,
but that the sentiment for a pro-
nounced duty Is so strong there that
It will be difficult to change the SEN
ate rate in conference.
