INTERESTING TO TOURISTS AND STUDENTS.The late Alexander Wlnchell, Professor of Geoogyand Palse'ntoloirv iri the University

of Michigan, shortly before his death took a trip to Montana, and was so delighted with what'he experienced that he wrote F. I. Whitney. G. P. & T A., of the Ureat Northern Railway,St. Paul, Minn., a lengthy letter from Ann Arbor, in which he testified his pleasure, and fromwhich we quote:

"1 have just returned from the magnificent tour devised and conducted underyour auspices, and I wish first to thank you for the courtes es exieadei to me per-sonally, and then to transmit an acclamation of thanks from the entire party.Nothing more delightful. m>re impressive or more memorable, could be planned—this was the oft repeated exclamation which I lieard on every day of the tour. ** * I shall make much use of the observations and exceriences of the trip,both in my lectures and in print, and I shall be very happy to increase interest inthe regions traversed by your lines. No new part of America offers so mu ;h tostudents, artists, health-seekers and tourists."

It was the Intention of Prof. WInfeheU to have made another visit to Montana, having be-come much interested in the marvelous opportunities f ir geological study offered by the up-heavals in the Belt Mountaius and other outlving ranges in the vicinity of Gr^at Falls,which ranges also reveal abundant remains of ancient animal life.

The Locomotive Won.Yesterday, Rudolph Naverich,

from near Northville, was walkingon the track of the M. C. road,near the ice houses, when a Michi-gan Central trian came along. Na-verick, not yielding the right ofway as promptly as he should havedone, was pitched into the ditchwithout mercy and terribly bruisedabout the hip and body and man-gled in the hand. He wil l proba-bly lose the thumb. He was takento the University hospital.

A Jounce for John Eisele.Friday night the horse driven by

John Eisele either actually or pre-tendedly took fright and tearingdown Ann street threw Mr. Eiseleout, tangled him in the lines anddragged him to the corner of Mainstreet. He was bruised and cutabout tne face and it was found onexamination that he had shed sev-eral teeth. These, fortunately,were the worst of his injuries. Themiliti a were out on drill that even-ing and the horse met the boys,while taking his "constitutional"around the square. At the sight ofthis squad of cavalry bearing downon them at a break neck speed, theboys stood not on the order of go-ing, but took to the trees and fencestil l the procession passed.

An Adrian View of It.

Mayor T. C. Brooks, of Jackson,has withdrawn from the race for thecongressional nomination. Thiswil l give Ex-Congressman O'Don,-nell a clear field at home and astrong second support in the othercounties. Lenawee will cast 25votes solid solid for Smith or Fellows—if they follow instructions—but which, that is the question.Gen. Spaulding will have Monroeand Wayne solid, making him 25votes. Sawyer will have Washte-naw solid, so the indications pointto a very pretty fight. However,considerable of Spaulding's sup-port is half-hearted, and in theevent of a break it will not likelygo to him. Many progressive youngrepublicans seem to be growingtired of his standing candidacy andseem inclined to give him some-thing this time to get rid of him orbury him forever. The indicationnow is that O'Donnell has the bestoutlook.

Schiappacass;e Discharged.After a careful review of all the

testimony taken in the case of thedeath of Jack Butler, ProsecutingAttorney Kearney, Saturday morn-ing discharged Andrew Schiappacas-see from jail, nothing being discov-ered on which to hinge a prosecu-tion for manslaughter. Indeed itdoes not appear from the testimonywhich of the two men struck thefirst blow. Butler, however, wasshown to have used insulting lan-guage toward both Schiappacasseeand members of his family, where-upon Andrew rose from his seat, thetwo came together and both de-livered blows; they clinched, bothfell and Butler never rose again.Dr. Smith, after hearing the testi-mony showing that Butler beforehis death frothed at the mouth gavehis opinion that death was due to afit. No warrant or complaint hadbeen sworn out against Schiappa-cassee, his surrender to the custodyof the sheriff having been volun-tary.

"The Girls They Left Behind."Battle and bloodshed are terrible

happenings, but they cannot alwaysbe averted. Until man's inhuman-ity to man ceases and all the worldbecomes a peaceful brotherhood,there will be wars and rumors ofwars. Company A left yesterdayfor the battle drill . Mothers gaveup their sons, wives their hus-bands, sisters their brothers,maidens their sweethearts. Goneto try the stern realities ofa change of water and diet!"Brave boys are they! Gone attheir country's call." Six com-panies were in Ann Arbor thismorning. They were companies H

and D. Capts. Drum and Withing-ton, of Jackson; Co. G, Capt.Woodruff, of Ypsilanti; Co. C, Te-cumseh, Capt. Haydn; Co. B, Ad-rian, Capt. Buck, and our own Co.A, Capt. Fischer. The boys left ingood spirits and without doubtmany of them will return alive andwell.

Behold the Conquering Singers Come.

The Harugari and Lyra singingsocieties returned Friday eveningfrom Bay City "wit h songs and ever-lasting triumph," and were greetedat the T. & A. A. depot by a largenumber of friends and the city band.A procession was formed, and underthe escort of the band marched tothe American hotel, where by thegrace of P. G. Suekey and othersan elegant lunch was spread.

Both societies won the warm ap-probation of the most eminent mu-sical professors at the Saengerfest,both of he United States and Can-ada. Primarily the singers them-selves, by their splendid abilities,were largely to be credited withtheir success; but it remained forthe peculiar and able directoralpowers of Prof. Kempf to give in-flection and finish to their work.Ann Arbor may feel a just pride inher recognition at the Saengerfest.

A Young Lady Squeezed.There is nothing remarkable or

new in the above announcement.Such incidents occur every day, andevening—particularly in the even-ing—and even as late as low twelveand lower; but they are not alwaysattended with disaster or inconven-ience. But something not so pleas-ing befell Miss Stuke, of E. Huronstreet, one evening last week. Theyoung lady sleeps on a folding bed—one of the steel-trap variety,—and when she retired on the eveningin point, it suddenly closed its jawson her, and there she was, as help-less as though she had been gobbledby an alligator. Fortunately thebed in closing attempted to gulpdown a chair that stood near, thetop of which being caught, partiallyrelieved the pressure. Miss Stuke'scries attracted the neighbors, and asist;r\ who was up stairs, and whorushed to the rescue none too soonto save life. Only prompt assist-ance prevented the accident frombecoming a tragedy.

He Can't Understand It.

Sunday, John Kimball , an em-ploye of Aid. Snyder, fell to think-ing that these were times of greatuncertainty and personal danger,and that even if the war betweencat-eyed nations of the Orient shouldnot involve the United States, itwas possible that the Sindlingersmight again invade Ann Arbor witha wagon load of rocks. Anyhow,he thought it would be best to cleanup his old revolver, according to theoft repeated admonition to alwaysbe prepared for death. As theweapon was not loaded, John tink-ered away with great recklessness,and was therefore very much sur-prised and annoyed when the blamedthing went off and punched a bulletthrough his left hand at the base ofthe second finger. When Mr. Kim-ball saw what had been done, hesaid that owing to the altered stateof circumstances he would now layby the littl e revolver, as did EthanAllen, who while an English prison-er of state bit off the end of a redpepper, at a banquet. Said Ethan: " Iwil l lay that blamed littl e hot thingdown by my plate, to light my cigarwith after dinner." Mr. Kimballlaid his littl e revolver by, and soughtthe consolation of a surgeon. Whatpuzzles him is to understand how itcould go off when it was not load-ed. But he knows it did.

The Committee in charge of theFarmers' Picnic, to be held at Whit-more lake on the 25th, announcethat "The American people areoverworked," and appeal to themon behalf of their good health topause and reflect, and take a dayoff (Aug. 25) before it is too late.Looks like a capital suggestion.The Argus advises everybody whocan, to go and take the benefit ofthe recreating influences of the oc-casion and see the boys and girlsstroll arm in arm, through the leafygroves and bowers, eating popcornand ginger bread.

Crop Report.

The following is received fromthe office of the Secretary of State:

The estimates in this report arebased on more than 1,050 returnsreceived since August 1.

The average yield of wheat peracre as estimated on the first of thismonth is, in the southern counties15.57 bushels; in the central coun-ties 15.05 bushels, and in the north-ern counties 15.46 bushels. Theaverage for the state is T5.47 bush-els. Wheat is of excellent quality.Fully nine-tenths of the correspond-ents report the quality "good" or"average."

The total number of bushels ofwheat reported marketed by farmersin July is 847,972, as compared with541,857 reported marketed in July,1893. The total number of bushelsreported marketed in the twelvemonths, August-July, is 15,146,278,which is 843,931 bushels more thanreported marketed in the samemonths last year.

Oats are estimated to yield 28bushels per acre in the southerncounties, and the state, 27 bushelsin the central, and 23 bushels in thenorthern counties.

The average condition of corn isreported at 75 per cent in the south-ern counties, 88 in the central, and89 in the northern counties. Theaverage for the state is 80. Oneyear ago the percentages were 91for the southern and central, and101 for the northern counties. Thepercentages for potatoes are, south-era counties 68, central 79, north-ern 82, upper peninsula 77, andstate 72.

Meadows and pastures, and cloversowed this year, are in poor condi-tion. The percentages range from66 to 77.

Apples promise 53 per cent of anaverage crop in the southern coun-ties as compared with 21 per centone year ago. In the central andnorthern counties, the outlook is fortwo-thirds of an average crop. Oneyear ago the estimate for the centralcounties was 35 per cent, and forthe north "rn 61 per cent.

Shade of the Mighty , Can It Be?

The following from Buffalo to theChicago Herald, relating to a formercitizen of Ann Arbor, will be readwith interest by all, and those whoknew the subject of the dispatchwil l regret the blasting of a careerof one whose rise and fall, from thezenith of success to the abyss offailure is its own great moral les-son:

"BUFFALO, Aug. 8.—H. H. War-ner, of Rochester, the patent medi-cine man who made $7,000,000 outof the 'Log Cabin' remedies, whichwere so extensively advertised every-where, has returned home from Eu-rope penniless. He left the last ofhis fortune at Monte Carlo. Mr.Warner went to Europe about twomonths ago. He was supposed atthat time to be nearly bankrupt.He had made an assignment for thebenefit of his creditors and his beau-tiful house and observatory hadbeen sold to help meet his indebted-ness. His fall had been swift. Hebegan to lose money with the earli-est indications of the business de-pression, and his fortune was soonsliding away from him. Creditorsgot judgments, and being unable torealize on some of his investmentshe was helpless to avert the ava-lanche. When this was nearly overhe took a European trip at the ad-vice of his friends. It was his in-tention to try to float abroad thestock of a companyorganized for themanufacture of beet sugar. Inthis scheme he associated with himWilliam Cannard, who, in Mr. War-ner's days of prosperity, had drawna salary of $7,000 a year as oneof the advertising writers. Byarrangement Mr. Warner metMr. Cannard and Mrs. Can-nard in Paris. They planned apleasure trip to Monte Carlo. Mr.Warner could not resist the tempta-tions there and soon lost the readymoney he had with him. He se-cured a loan from Mr. Cannard andlost that playing a system. Thisleft the party somewhat impairedfor funds, but Mrs. Cannard steppedinto the breach. She is a beauti-ful young woman who was in Mr.Warner's employ before her mar-riage, and she had a lot of splendiddiamonds, some of which were thegifts of Mr. Warner at and since hermarriage, for he was generous to hisemployes. She went to one of thenumerous pawnshops near MonteCarlo and pawned her diamondsfor 10,000 francs, which she turnedover to Mr. Warner to continue hissystem. Luck came his way, andwhen he left the bank at the end ofhis second day's play he had 60,-000 francs: although at one time inthe game his capital had been re-duced to 1,600 francs. He gave anelaborate dinner that night to a fewfriends, and Mr. and Mrs. Cannardentreated him to go with them toParis before he lost the money.He refused, saying that his successhad proved his system, and next dayfound him in his seat at the Casino.He played three days and lost everyfranc. He raised enough money toget to Paris and there met an oldfriend, a Rochester business man,who gave him enough money to payhis passage home. He left Mr. andMrs. Cannard in Paris. Mr. War-ner has told the story of his play tohis friends. He is confident thatthere are good things in store forhim in the future and that he willbe rich again.

Suppose—mind, now, we are onlysupposing—suppose—-don't forgetthat this is merely hypothetical—suppose that Bruce Goodfellow hadactually slugged Pingree under thebelt, what would have been the re-sult of the blow?—on the fall elec-tion, of course.

The old dame, city of Detroit,should at once invest in a spankingmachine. Bad boys Pingree andGoodfellow need to be taken acrossthe parental knee and vigorously

" They arejlarge enoughand should know better to engagein such unseemly scraps as that oflast Friday.

It is reported that the questionwas last Thursday put to Henry O.Havemeyer, president of the no-torious sugar trust, as to what sched-ule the trust really preferred and heunhesitatingly replied "McKin-ley's." This indicates pretty con-clusively which party is regarded asthe better friend of the sweet mo-nopoly, the republican organs tothe contrary notwithstanding. Noone understands better than Mr.Havemayer that the continuanceof the government bounty to thetrust is dependent soley upon thescantiness of the democratic major-ity in the senate. The great major-ity of the democratic senators areopposed to the infamy but beingunder duress, are forced to yield.

Unable to budge the senate fromits firm stand, the house has at lastpassed the tariff bill as it came fromthe other house. It is better thanthe McKinley bill . It is not all thatthe house wanted. The house isdemocratic. It represents the peo-ple. It promptly passed a sweeping relief bill . The republicans inthe senate, aided by three or fourdemocrats, have largely thwartedthe will of the people. The househas done all that it could. On therepublican party and on the headsof those democratic senators whoacted with that party, rests the sup-pression of the people's will . Theywill renew the struggle and neverrest til l the glorious hour that shallwitness the triumph of tariff reform.It will come. It will be a fight to afinish, and the people will win it.Let no democrat lose heart.

After a prolonged but convenientabsence from Chicago, the allegedpossessor of an Italian marquisate,Hon. Geo. M. Pullman, has rolledback to the city in his private pal-ace car. During his absence he hasachieved wide notoriety and beinga financial upstart of the kind whoconsider money an equivalent foranything, and a good republican,his next ambition should be a seatin the United States senate. He isunquestionably of the proper clayto become "one of a feather" withthe republican membership of thatbody and their few democratic as-sistants. His opportunities for in-dulging "the people be damned"spirit would be far greater as amember of the senate than as pres-

dent of the Pullman Palace Carcompany. Of course this honorwould come high, but he has themoney wrung from the necessitiesof his workmen, and besides hecould readily recoup himself at thethe expense of the people by"standing in" with the sugar trustand the coal and iron monopolies.His candidacy for a senatorial togawould be most fitting.

Hon. T. C. Brooks, of Jackson,in formally withdrawing his nameas a republican candidate for congress in this district, gives as thefirst of his reasons that his friends"seem certain that they can electany man who may be nominated atthe approaching convention." It ismost likely, indeed, that either Mr.Brooks or the printer has made anerror; for with littl e doubt, theHonorable Mayor of Jackson, in-tended to insert the word "not"before "elect." The Argus makesthis amendment and wishes to saythat the other reasons why he willnot run were very unnecessarilystated. An Irishman, who proposedto offer sixteen reasons why hisfather was not in court, the firstbeing that his father was dead, andtherefore could not well appear, wasexcused by the judge from offeringthe remaining fifteen reasons on theground that the first was quite suf-ficient. Mr. Brook's first reason,as amended, was ample.

This is a time of unprecedentedlylow prices for agricultural staplesand relatively high prices for manu-factured products. It is a time,therefore, when farmers especiallyshould take their bearings and ex-amine critically into the causes ofexisting conditions. In so far asthe low prices of agricultural pro-ducts result from the great law ofsupply and demand there is no rem-edy in sight, but to the extent towhich the relatively high prices ofmanufactures result from discrimi-nating legislation, there is a remedyand farmers owe it to themselves tosee that it is applied.

There is no doubt but that therecent introduction of labor-savingmachinery into Argentine, Russia,India, Egypt and other agriculturalregions has brought our farmers intoa competition which has reducedthe prices of certain staples belowthe profit point. How are they tomeet this competition, for meet itthey must, so long as they producea surplus for export. A protectivetariff cannot aid them, as it has beentried and prices of farm stapleshave constantly tended downwardwhile tariff rates have as constantlymounted upward, and besides a tar-iff cannot protect an export anyway.A protective tariff in general re-sults in enhanced prices only whenit can be so applied as to restrictcompetition. This is done by shutting out foreign competitors whollyor in part and by forming trustsand combines at home for the pur-pose of crushing [out competitionamong home producers and re-stricting production and therebyraising and keeping up prices.None of these means for forcing upprices are available with the farm-ers, however, on account of theenormous surplus of their products;their great numbers and wide separ-ation and consequent inability tocombine; and their comparativepoverty rendering it impracticablefor them to hold their productswith the view of securing enhancedprices. It is impossible also for thefarmers to reduce their product tothe home requirements alone. Alarge surplus must constantly beproduced and this surplus is ex-ported and its price is in noway governed or even influencedby the United States tariff, but isfixed in the world's free trade mar-ket. England is the chief purchaserof our surplus agricultural staplesand, of course, the highest price shewill pay is the price our farmers areobliged to take not only for theirsurplus, but for what is consumedat home as well. Now the price shewill pay is the lowest price at whichshe can supply her wants in anycountry of the world. Our surplusfarm products are sold, therefore, incompetition with the lowest price atwhich they can be had in the othercountries of the world. The Liver-

pool free trade price, less cost oftransportation, is the price our far-mers receive for their surplus sta-ples, and when this is once fixed, itis the price of the quantity that isconsumed at home as well.

Thus it is that our farmers areforced to sell in the free trade mar-ket of the world, in competitionwith the poorest paid labor of theworld, whjle they are forced to buyin a highly protected or restrictedmarket. In other words, they areforced to sell in the cheapest andbuy in the dearest market. Andsince they sell at free trade pricesand buy at artificially enhancedprices, they pay the cost of protec-tion to home manufacturers. Thisis a monstrous injustice, and ac-counts in large degree for the con-dition of the agricultural classestoday.

Now since there is no way for ourfarmers to avoid direct competitionwith the products of cheaper landsworked by cheaper labor familiarwith the use of the most improvedlabor-saving agricultural machinery,what remedy is there for presentconditions? There is no remedy ina protective tariff, since that is thevery instrument which compels thefarmer to pay enhanced prices formanufactured goods, and hence re-sults in diminishing the purchasingpower of farm products. The onlypracticable solution of the difficultyfor the farmer, since he is obligedto sell his products in the cheapestmarkets, is to allow him to buy alsoin the cheapest markets. Thiswould result from the removal of ailprotective duties on manufacturedgoods.

A Tremendous Tax on Tea.

One hundred and seventy thous-and dollars paid in one week in onecheck, by Lipton, the greatest Teadealer in the world. Some hundredodd years ago our forefathersdumped King George's tea into Bos-ton harbor, all about a littl e taxmatter and what grew out of it.But that affair was settled at arms,and tea drinking is more the cus-tom than ever on both sides of thepond. Our British cousins like tea.The kind they like best is the cele-brated Lipton Ceylon Tea. Thereis a big check to prove it. Thegreatest tea grower and dealer inthe world is Thomas J. Lipton.His headquarters are in London,his plantations in Ceylon, and hiswholesale agencies and warehousesalmost all over the word. On April28th Mr. Lipton broke all formerrecords by drawing his check for^35.365-9-2 (#i69,756-36) to payhis import duty, on his imports oftea for that single week to supplythat portion of his trade lying inGreat Britain alone. Not only wasit the largest check for duty on teaever paid into the English CustomHouse, but it was more than halfthe duty paid during that week onall teas imported through theEnglish Custom House. Thisitem has a flavor of local newsinterest for it is these same famousLipton Ceylon Teas which are nowbeing handled in Ann Arbor byRinsey & Seabolt and Brown &Cady. They say that Lipton's teasare growing immensely popular. Ifall the women over the UnitedStates know a good thing when theytaste it as our Ann Arbor ladies do,Lipton's trade will surely becomegreater in America than in GreatBritain. Purity, flavor and the ut-most cleanliness and care in hand-ling are cardinal virtues of Lipton'sCelebrated Ceylon Teas.

The roll call which fol-lowed took some time and members shift-ed uneasily for the decisive action ahead.Chairman Wi'son took the floor immedi-ately after the roll call and the generalstatement of the situation. He spokecalmly and dispassionately and receiver;the closest attention. Members left theirseats and crowded eagerly about himlistening intently to every word. It isseldom that such eager interest has beenshown at a caucus.

liumors from the Speaker's Room.While Wilson was speaking the wor.l

was passed around among members thatthe conference in the speaker's room hadresulted in decisive action and thatSpeaker Crisp himself would move thatthe house would recede and accept thesenate bill . At first the information wasso startling that it was doubud, but asmember after member heard it and madeinquiry the opinion became general amongthe best informed men in the house thatthe report was correct. Wilson closed at11:05 o'clock, having talked just an hour.It was understood, however, that Wil -son had not yielded the floor permanently,but would resume later, after his confer-ence associates, Montgomery, McMilli nand Turner, had corroborated his state-ments as to dates. Montgomery then tooktde floor and substantiated what Wilsonhad said as to the details of the confer-ence.

Crisp's Resolution Introduced.Speaker Crisp followed Montgomery.

He said that as long as there was a des-perate chance of securing concessions thehouse demanded he was in lavor of stand-ing out, but he was now satisfied that thetime had come when further insistenceby the house was useless. He closed hisremarks by offering a resolution instruct-ing the house couferrees to recede fromthe disagreement to the senate tamend-ruents and instruct the ways and meanscommittee to bring in separate free sugar,free iron and free coal bills. A greatburst of applause greeted the reading ofthe resolution, but half a dozen irate Dem-ocrats were ou their feet demanding rec-ognition, prominent among them beingBurke Cockran of New York. Owing tothe lateness of the hour a rule was adopt-ed liniitin p further speeches to five min-utes. Then Cockran delivered a vigorousand eloquent speech against surrenderingto the senate. "Better no tariff legisla-than the seuate bill," he said.

Previous Ouestiou Ordered.The previous question was demanded ou

the Crisp resolution and ordered by a voteof li a to 21. Among those who votedagainst the previous question were theLouisiana members, Cockran of New Yorkand others. Thirteen minutes were thengiven to the opponents of the resolutionto state their position. McMilli n repudi-ated the statement made by Cockran thatthe senate bill was worseitban the McKin-ley law. Robertson of Louisiana object-ed to the resolution on account of the freesugar provision and g nerally protestedagainst the treatment of Louisiana. Heurged that it would be bad faith to cutoff the Louisiana planters from thebounty on this year's crop ou which theyhad reckoned wheu they put it in. Dur-ing the fifteen minutes' debate ChairmanWilson rose and pleaded with the caucusnot to take action. He said that what-ever was tne mind of the house there wasno necessity for immediate and hurriedaction. McMilli n of the ways and meanscommittee also made a speech. He de-clared in favor of the Crisp resolution,saying that the senate bill was much bet-ter than the McKinley law.

Speaker Crisp's Resolution.The resolution of Speaker Crisp as

adopted is as follows:"Resolved, That it is the sense of this

caucus that the order heretofore made re-questing a conference with the senate onthe disagreeing votes of the two houses onH. R., 484, be rescinded. That the confer-rees heretofore appointed on the part ofthe house be discharged from further dutyiu that behalf and that the house recedefrom its disagreement to the senateamendments to said bill and agree to theBame.

"Resolved, Further, that the house shallat once proceed to the consideration ofseparate bills placing the following arti-,cies on the Iree list, vis: Sugar in all itsterms, iron ore, coal and barbed wire.The committee on rules is requested to re-port au order providing for the promptconsideration of such motion and bills."

This was adopted by an overwhelmingvote, the nays being almost insignificaut.Representative Tucker of Virginia thenoffertd a resolution thanking and com-mending the house referrees for theirloyal service. This was adopted with ashout of approval aud the caucus ad-journed.

Voted Against the Resolution.Among those who voted against the res-

olution were: The Louisiana members,Warner of New York, Strauss of NewYork, Tracey of New York, Tarsney ofMissouri, Cockran of New York, Covert ofNew York, Dumphy of New York, Cooperof Indiana, Johnson of Ohio, Kiigore ofTexas. The Maryland delegation, Raynor,McKaig, Rusk and Talbot, Breckinridgeof Arkansas, a member of the ways andmeans committee, aud Williams of Mis-sissippi also voted against the Crisp reso-lution. Most of those who voted againstthe first part of the resolution voted forthe Si coud part.

Keport Providing for Passage of TariffHil l Presented.

WASHINGTON, Aug. .4.—When the housemet five minutes alter the caucusadjourued there were more members onthe floor than at uuy time since the tariffbill was passed. The anxious public whothronged the corridors before the doorswere throwu open crowded iuto the gal-leries in anticipation of the final scene inthe long tariff battle. The rules commit-tee had prepared a report for immediateconsideration ol the btuate tunfi bill to

Haller' s Jewelry Store.be followed by the separate bills for sugar,coal, iron ore and barbed wire.

At 3:35 p. m. Catchings was recognizedand presented the report providing forthe passage of the tariff bill . Tne rulescommittee report also provides for pass-ing the other bills named in the caucusresolution. Reed made a parliamentaryobjection to the proceedure, claiming thetariff bill was not before the house andindicated the Republicau intention tofight the bill and report in every properway. Crisp held that the resolution wasin order and before the house. The previ-ous question was ordered without divis-ion.

The question then being put on agree-ing to the resolution Reed demanded adivision. Tne eotire Democratic side roseen masse, but when the negative vote wascalled for the Republicans sat calmly intheir seats hoping to break a quorum.When the speaker announced the vote—188 to 3—twelve more than a quorum, theRepublicans were somewhat discon-certed.

Reed, however, quickly demanded theyeas and nays. Before the clerk begancalling the roll Wilson of Washingtonbrought down a round of Republican ap-plause by innocently asking the speakerif it would be in order before the roll wascalled to have the president's letter againread.

The sptaker rapped him to order withhis gavel and the roll call proceeded. Thehouse order was adopted—176 to 97—notvoting, 11. Among the Democrats votingin the negative were D.ivey, Robertson ofLouisiana, Covert, Brice, Gorman andWarner. Kil^ore answered "present,"bur, did not vote. In other respects thevote was strictly on party lines.

Blair's Efforts in This Direction Causinga Good Deal of Interest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The stepstaken by Representative Blair of NewHampshire to secure congressional inves-tigation through the commissioner of la-bor of the general punishment by lynch-ing of colored men who are supposed tohave outraged women, are stirring up anunexpected degree of interest. Since theresolution was introduced great numbersof communications on the subject havecome to Mr. Blair, although but ten dayshave parsed since the matter was madepublic.

Most of the letters are from religiousbodies and organizations of colored peo-ple. The colored people both north andsouth seem to be greatly interested in theproposition and resolutions have comefrom meetings held at New York and NewOrleans and many cities between thosetwo. It is not expected that the investi-gation will be undertaken during this ses-sion of congress, but probably wil l bebegan early next session provided, ofcourse, the house votes to have it under-taken.

Think Cleveland Wil l Not Sign It.WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The general

sentiment of members about town is thatthe president wil l allow the tariff bill , ifit passes both houses, to become a lawwithout signing it. In that event an ad-journment cannot be had short of tendays.

It was not possible to engage asteamer in time for the service required,and rather than take any chances it wasdeemed best to charter a sailing vessel.

Tue ship is stanch in every way, and iswell adapted for the work that it willhave to perform. It has been provisionedfor a long voyage, and in addition to itsown supplies large quantities of clothingand other necessaries have been putaboard for use of the Wellman party.

"Ann Arbor saloons must have im-ported a peculiarly malignant brand otwhisky, of which Sam and Jacob Sind-linger, farmers of Scio, partook freelylast Saturday."

That "one-wheeled bicycle" is again ]loose in the brain of Freemont Patti-son, of Vpsilauti, and coursing overits convolutions like a car ot jugger-naut over a corduroy bridge. Mr.Pattisotfs invention shows progress,but is not yet wholly reliable for aman whose legs are too short to reachfrom his body to the ground.

This notice appears in the SalineObserver: "To the chicken owners ofMcKay street whose stock are contin-tinually eating and destroying fruitand vegetables for others, we wouldsay that such has become too great anannoyance to be put up with any long-er, and if the same are not taken careof and kept at home.a warm receptionwil l hereafter greet them."

The big county ditch along theBridgewater line will have a width of29 feet at the surface and a dip of 12feet. An indignation meeting of rat-tlesnakes has been called to protestagainst the canal, and if the job goeson, it will be at the peril of the con-tractors' legs. The ditch should beexpected to yield a handsome supplyol mastodon bones, which no familyshould he without.

Stanton Rowel!, past commander ofCarpenter Post, formerly in Cady'sgrocery here and later in an Ann Ar-bor grocery, has been on a soldier'shomestead in Houghton county for thelast four years.

The Argus has always heretoforelooked upon the Manchester Enter-prise as an intentionally veraciousnewspaper; but when it declares thatManchester cats "wil l beat a Metho-dist conference in paralyzing the sup-ply of spring chickens." we turn awaywith a reeling of sadness to shed a si-lent tear over the decadence of truthin an age of boasted fidelity to prin-ciple.

"The Ypsilantian is pretty hot underthe collar this week, and the Demo-crats of the district are suspected ofsprinkling pepper in the neck of ourneighbor's sweater."—Ypsilanti Com-mercial. The democrats had nothingto do with it. The Sawyer men hadthe pepper b<vx. In fact it was whollydue to the influence of this democraticliterary bureau that Editor Osbanddid not tear down the court house andpick his teeth with the splinters.

Bold thieves in Superior had the gallto steal a load of hay of Bert Snide-cor, and then stop him in the road toenquire the way to Emerv. Assistedby his father and hired man. Bert pur-sued the thieves and recovered thehay, nor knew he til l afterward thatin one of their wagons was hidden aquantity of his stove wood—which hehad hallowed and consecrated withthe sweat of his brow—and a lot of hisoats.. Honest fellows! they had obeyedthe command of scripture, "watch andprey."

I t makes sad the heart of the Dex-ter Leader man to walk through thecold clammy corridors of the Peninsulamill , dismantled of its machinery,musty with time's mutations and peo-pled with the ghosts of better days.The editor once worked in that milland it prospered. But he had to leaveit and get a newspaper and a wife andtwo babies. And now the old mill isforsaken and lone; the best of its daysit has seen; but when it has fallen andmouldered away, its memory will t,egreen. Phew! how a fine flight offancy pulls the tuck out of one!

Our valued county contemporary,the Saline Observer, has a way oflighting the gloom of misfortune's cavethat ia delightful. For instance: "Thepretty, fat, plump, shiny tomato wormhas made its appearance." "The S. S.picnic, Wednesday, was fairly well at-tended and much enjoyed, especiallyby the littl e folks. During the after-noon Fletcher Schaffer. a littl e son ofCoon Schaffer, was kicked by a horse,which was the only mar upon the day'spleasure." In the same cheerfulstrain, the friends of a dear deceasedmight be comforted with the an-nouncement that "the funeral was agrand success," and that "the corpsecreated a most favorable impression."I t is the Observer's salubrious view

The Manchester Enterprise is in- jformed by the W. C.T. U. that "there !seems to be a growing interest among ,the ladies in the line of temperance." iAl l who have the cause of temperanceat heart, will rejoice that the ladiesdown there are "bracing up."

Now comes the said Manchesterband and gives the court to understandand be informed that if the said com-mon council will not allow them theuse of a room in the city hall, in whichto vibrate toe atmosphere with their ;atmospheric vibrators, why, then thecommon council can take their old"holy of holies" and use it for a Joss jhouse: and the next time tiie bandgives a "tree concert" on the streec itwil l be for "spot cash,"

At Chelsea, last Thursday night, the Iconduits of an air brake on a MichiganCentral freight train suddenly parted.The effect of this was to set thebrakes, and so suddenly was this donethat Conductor Richardson was pitchedover the stove of the way car andslammed around in a way that broketwo of bis ribs. A fellow wlio w;t->stealing a ride had bis toilet badly !mussed, and was thought for,, a while !to be permanently separated from hisbreath. He was subsequently oxygen-!ized, however, and bids fair to become jin time a first-class tramp.

A citizen of Saluie who is entirely junacquainted with Mr. Nesmith, thegreat cloud-line electric railway con-structor, the other day innocentlyasked the Observer what had becomeof Saline's electric railroad. Wewould answer that we know Mr. Nes-mith, and that he is exceedingly care-ful about leaving his railroad exposedto all kinds of weather. On dampdays when it looks like rain he windsit up on a hose reel and runs it underthe shed. In clear weather, however,it can be seen with the aid of a tele-scope. Point the glass along thesouthern sky. I t is an "air-line."See it?

ATTACK ON PULLMAN.Quo-Warrant o Proceedings Filed Against

the Palace Car Company*CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Quo-warranto pro-

ceedings were begun by the attorney gen-eral of the state against the Pullman Pal-ace Car company. Attorney General Mo-loney appeared in the office of the clerkof the circuit court and filed a petition inquo-vrarranto against the big concernwhich has been enjoying so much promi-nence in the public view of late. The le-gal document filed asks leave to file aninformation in the nature of quo-warrantoproceedings. This is the first step in anattack by the state's chief law officer onthe charter of a corporation.

The next step will be to ask the com-pany to show cause why its charter shallnot be revoked. The defendant corpora-tion is charged with illegally owning acontrolling interest in the Alien PaperCar Wheel company and with wrongfullyexercising the powers of a municipal cor-poration in furnishing dwellings, light,water, heat and provisions to the residentsof Pullman. The pelition also chargesthat in the possession of the real estateauci buildings in Pullman and Chicagoout-ide its manufacturing plant or forot. cr purposes than the transaction of itslaw ally chartered business it is violatingits p.jrporate richts.

DENVER TO THE LAKES.

Excellent Prospects for the NebraskaShort Line.

DEXVEI;, Aug. 11.—Ex-Governor Evanshas returned from Sioux City, la,, theeastern terminal of the proposed NebraskaShort line, more than ever satisfied withthe feasibility of his scheme for givingDenver a direct railway connection withthe gnat hikes.

Mr. Evans' plans originally were to runhis line from Julesburg to O'Neill. Hefinds he can shorten the road almost afourth by running it from North Platte,on the Uniou Pacific, to some point eastof O'Neill. Ttie Gulf road, with whichMr. Evans expects to operate the shortline, has the right to trackage arrange-ments on the Union Pacific as far east asNorth Platte, and to run from NorthPlatte the short line would cross sevenmads and branches at right angles, allrunning in a southeasterly direction to, );n.ih-i and Kansas City, and penetratefc.ght couuties and county seats.

Outrage on a Lone Wotuan.GKANTVILLE , W. Va.. Aug. 11.—At a

lonely place near Minnor, in the Wash-ington district, forty masked men raidedthe cabin of a lone woman named "Sis"King, of doubtful reputation, aud draggedtue terrified woman from her bed. Theraiders stripped her and while one manheld her hands, the other thirty-nine tookturns giving her two blows with hickoryswitches over her bare back. No attemptwas made to gag her, the whippers sayingshe could stand it better is they "let hersqueal." After she had been given thirty-eight cuts she was left senseless on theground.

Internationa l Couaplicatious May Arise.NEW YOKK, Aug. 11.—Among the steer-

age passengers on board the steamerParis, which has arrived here, was a refu-gee from Russia named Nicolas Fred-aicken. He is an Americanized Russianand was imprisoned by the Russian gov-ernment. It is understood that interna-tional complications may arise from hiscase. He was moving for interference onthe part of this government in his behalfwhen an opportunity of escape presenteditself, of which he quickly availed himself.He refused to talk, fearing it mightprejudice his case.

Chicagoau Arrested in Mexico*MEXICO CITY, Aug. U.—C. B. Lathrop

of Chicago was arrested and now islodged in Beleni prison at the instigationof the Mexican District Messenger com-pany. The arrest is the outgrowth of thewar between the American and Mexicanstockholders who are fighting over themanagement of the company. ManagerCommagera has been shut out of the of-fice.
