for the beggar. but had not found him late tonight.
 Miss Gould, who was in an adjoin- ing room, with two children, rushed into the library when she heard the crash, and the butler summoned the police. Mrs. Scholes refused medical attention and when the shock of the blow was over explained that she was not badly hurt. The butler told the police that an unkempt man, wearing a black slouch. hat, and apparently under the influence of liquor, lurched up to the house shortly before seven o'clock. He rang the bell until the. butler answered then demanded to see Miss Gould
 The butler told him that Miss Gould was engaged. but the man insisted she had helped him before and he was in dire distress now. He was so per- sistent that when the butler tried to shut the door he placed his foot in the opening and withdrew it only when the heavy door squeezed it pain fully.
 As the stranger left. the butler says he heard him curse lustily and five minutes later the brick came hurtIing through the window
 Mrs. Scholes' profile could be plainly seen from the street and the police believe that the tramp mistook her for Miss Gould. The brick he obtained from building under construction nearby.

AMERICAN WHEAT LOWE
 CANADIAN PRODUCTS HIGHER Results of Reciprocity, According to
 Matter of the National Grange,

Concord, N. H., Feb 17.-In support of his contention that the actnent offb the proposed Canadian reciprocity agreement will reduce the price of American wheat. and increase the. price of Canadian wheat, former Gov. Ma hum J. Bachelder, master of the Ma tfonal Grange. Patrons of Husbandry, today issued statement in which he compared wheat movements in the markets of Chicago and Winnipeg, as James J. Hill. MT. Bachelder's state ment says
 HhFs Railroads to Haul Canadian
 Wheat.
 James J. Hill is not satisfied with the $100,000,000 he has made out of the farmers of the northwestern states, but ia seeking to increase his fortune by having his railroads haul Canadian wheat and flour to the con- Chicago day before yesterday, MT. Hill charged that the opposition to the Canadian reciprocity scheme was dic- tated by sdemagogues' and was center ed on the claim that the free admis sion of Canadian wheat and barley would reduce the price Of these prod. ucts in this country. That such would be the effect, re declared is not mere ly improbable, but ridiculous and in1- possible :" -@
 Values Broke in New York.
 After quoting a. New York commer- cia1 newspaper of February -16 as say : ing that wheat values broke sharply yesterday as the result of the house approval of the reciprocity agree ment," and quoting figures, MT. Bach elders statement continues:
 Here is fall of about eight cents per bushel in the price of wheat since the reciprocity bill was introduced in congress If the mere expectation of reciprocity depresses our wheat prices, what would be the result of the enact ment of the pending bill r?
 Price Holds in Winnipeg.
 While the price of our wheat has fallen, that of Canadian wheat. as shown in the Winnipeg, Manitoba. 1narket,s has not fallen to the same extent, owing to the expectations of the Canadian wheat growers for a bet ter market in this country. Before the reciprocity bill was introduced, wheat was higher in Chicago than in Winnipeg. but yesterday it was 2 3-4 cents higher in Winnipeg than in Chi cago. Does not this furnish the clear est possible proof that reciprocity. will reduce the price of our wheat, and ir- crease the price of Canadian wheat 7

 Fun While Waiting. $.
 While waiting for a quorum to ap-s pear the house was in much dtsCrderf It was good natured disorder, how Y ever, and there was good deal of laughter. Representative Man had during the, day resorted to every qnown parliamentary subterruge tos prevent action, and his fellow mem - just where they stood. This was 20 i. much the case that at one juncturef Representative Stanley of Kentuckys arose to a parliamentary inquiry.
 @The gentleman will state il" df-s rected MT. Olmsted of Pennsylvanoa. the spea ker pro tempore.

 Republican Whip Angry
 During the time MT. Rucker waar talking, Representative Dwight of New York; the republican whip, had been speaking his mind in an undertone but in no uncertain terms about the wn0les proceeding. Representative Reeders thereupon moved that MT Dwight be permitted to extend his remarks In the Record. As MT. Dwight stalkedf out of the chamber the chair am nounced that it could not accept tho motion in the absence of a quorum. The fight over the omnibus claimA' bill probably will be renewed tomor-. row ana if the advocates of tho meas-s ure can hold the majority they. nua- 1 tered today, there is likely either to- l be an overruling of the speaker or an other filibuster.

Washington Feb 17=Witil Unly eleven legislative days remaining, he house of representatives, was held to 3 standstill today by a filibuster plan ned and conducted by Representative Mann of Illinois. It had often been CTS that majority of the house could do what it pleased, but today's events proved otherwise.
 Il. was privat calnedar day under the rules and the business in order was the consideration of the omnibus war claims bill, already passed by the sen ate. The bill largely affects southern claimants and the democrats with the assistance of a large number of re- publicans endeavored to pass it. At times the majority in favor of the bill was as high as 14O. but Congressman dilatory. tactics he succeeded in pre- venting action on it. although the house was in session from 10 a. III. un- til 9.25 o'clock tonight.
 May Have Killed the Bill.
 At that hour the advocates of the measure obtained a recess until II a. m. tomorrow, under the assumption that the legislative sitting of today would then be resumed. It turned out after this action, however, that they probably defeated their own purpose, for Ii o'clock is now the regular hour for meeting, and it is believed that Speaker Cannon will hold that tomor- rows sitting is a new legislative day If he is successful in maintaining this ruling, the omnibus claims bill is dead in this session
