UP. TARIFF FIGHT

Washington, D. c., April 3O.-When
consideration of the Underwood bill
was resumed in the house today Re
publican Leader Mann and his lieuten-
ants, particularly Payne of New York.
Moore of Pennsylvania and Greene OF
Iowa, resumed "heckIing' of the dem
ocrats who framed the Measure. The
republicans have given every indica-
ton of fighting the schedules all along
the line, avoiding, however, useless
delays that would be occasioned by
demanding record votes
The democrats purpose to have night
sessions continuously until the bill is
voted upon and sped upon it's way to
the greater battle between the parties
in the senate.
Underwood is putting in direct
charge, as each schedule of the bill
is read the member of the committee
who had charge of that schedule dur
ing the committee deliberations. Lead
er Mann of the opposition and former
Chairman Payne of the ways ard
means committee have moved down TO
the front Of the house on the republi-
can side, fortified with the democratic
bill and report and other documents.
Consideration of the earthenware
and glassware schedule was resumed
at the outset of today's session.
AS the session advanced amend
ments began pouring in from the mi
nority side, but Underwood, with a
large majority well in hand, defeated
them one after another.
The weary debate was relieved by a
row between Hamilton. republican, of
Michigan and Hardy. democrat, over
Angora goats and their duty that set
the house in roars of laughter The
two shouted at each other and shook
their fists and forefingers and argued
as a two-man chorus, but their words
were drowned in the uproar. The bill,
however was not affected.

ion appropriation bills introduced in
the house and senate yesterday give
$4,000 to the heirs of William Baker,

as blastomocosis, and say it has be-
come systemic, from which there is
no known cure. Bakers condition is
most deplorable at this time. Already
he has undergone three operations for
relief from the disease and is prepar-
ing to undergo a fourth one. Since
April II, last year, Baker has taken
$4,000 grains of potassium iodide, and
since Oct IL last, by vaccine treat
ment. there have been injected into
his body 100000 units.
Bakers physicians say they are at

alive. A wife and four children are
dependent upon him for support The
case is attracting the attention of
medical men throughout the country.

Suffrage Conditions in Belgium.

> III Suffrage Conditions in Belgium.
The Belgians must have grown
weary of the college man in politics. .
A Belgian who is a graduate of a uni
versity, or holds a diploma from one
of the great technical schools, has two
supplementary votes.'' This is q
grievance to the Belgian masses, who
insist on manhood suffrage. The spe-
cial privilege of the learned is only
one of the many peculiarities Of the
Belgian system, as the family man has
two votes to the bachelors one, and
there are property qualifications be-
sides. II the proposed social strike
for manhood suffrage, only one vote
per voter is carried into operation

GOOD TIMES OF THE PAST
Peddler Laments Fact That Easy Liv-
ing Has for Him Been Left
Far Behind.

He came towards me over a Shout
der of the lonely South Downs, little
old man with back bent beneath the
weight of the pack he carried. There
was a square box strapped to his
shoulders in military fashion and a.
large satchel hung beneath his arm.
In one hand he bore a basket, in the
other large umbrella.
He seemed to be nursing griev-
ance, for there was an indignant
scowl athwart his weather-beaten, red
good-humored face, and the little
white whiskers about his ears seemed
positively to bristle with annoyance.
"Mornin', mister" he remarked.
"She"-with wave of his arm towards
a distant cottage-"she called me a
'awker!" 81: ~.:.-..
ooh, indeed?" said I, rather at fault,
for a hawker was exactly what took
him to be. .>s- ..".
"A 'awker!" he repeated, as one
who strives against incredulity. "And

der afore me, and is father afore
im!" fs$-
'tBut what is the exact difference
between ,hawker anG peddler?" I
asked. <ss r. .-.S. ~. s..-.

Almost every South Down village be-
tween ERE and Eastbourne. I covers

mer, year in and year out. peddles
Il don't 'awk!"
''Peddlin' amt what it was though"
he went on, good temper returning to
him as he spoke of his woes. "Now,
in my fathers time, there was good
money to be made-'specially if you
was at all friendly with the smugglers,
like e was. But now he added sar-
castically, what with edjication what
helps folks to write direct to shops
for what they wants, and what with

pos office and moty cars-why, it's

DISPUTED, BUT KEPT: TEMPER
How General Wolseley and War Cor

~ Quarrel in the Newspapers.

One or two of the notices of Lord
Wolseley's career mention the pro-
tracted dispute between Wolseley and
Sir William Russell as to the behavior
of the troops in South Africa in 1879.
Russell had accused the troops of
drunkenness and looting in no ,uncer-
tain terms. Wolseley defended his
men with generous warmth, but the
manner in which both Wolseley and
Russell kept their regard for each 9TH

how a dispute of principle should be
