Anl why shouldn't a man make a
fool of his wife? Nothing can be
more edifying than to see husband
and wife perfectly mated.
A New York postal clerk who gave
all his wages to his father has been
robbing the mails for spending
money. His filial piety cost Uncle
Sam too much.
IT IS NOW BEING CONSIDERED
IN THE HOUSE.
Several-Amendments Have Been Adopted.
The Seigniorage Bill is Being Discussed

to the Tariff Bill.
The case of the unlucky Princess
Colonna is another prophetic signal
that American girls will have to de-
vise''some plan for marrying a title
without taking the man that goes
with it.
When "Paul Jones" announced
that he would lock his money up and
start penniless from Boston around
the world the comment was natur-
ally elicited that Mr. Jones was a
fool. He has started now, but the
original comment seems still to
wholly cover the case.
A hoodlum having murdered 'his
aged father, finds himself hedged
about with cheering allegations of
his own insanity. Yet there was in
his act a gleam of reason almost
reprehensible. He knew enough to
grasp the handle of the knife and do
the stabbing with the blade.
Florida property owners, object-
ing to the building of a railroad, have
chivalrously planted the soil with,
bombs. It would seem but fair to
have them herded along the right of
way till they had removed the obsta-
cles or been by them removed, with
the general choice in favor of the
latter course.
An Australian murderess, wiio
sowed hdr farm with babies and
reaped the gallows, announced with
her final breath that she died happy,
and hoped to meet the officiating
gentlemen elsewhere. Her confi-
dence that she would do so was so
appalling that the chief hangman
has gone crazy, a fact suggesting
that a gag may be as useful ia its
way as a noose. «.

Washington, March 14.—The house
yesterday began the consideration of
the bill making appropriations for the
sundry civil expenses of the govern-
ment and fair progress was made.
Only three amendments of any impor-
tance were adopted, one appropriating
$43,000 for lighting Hay Lake channel,
another $64,000 for the public build-
ing at Buffalo, and another of $90,000
for repairing the postoffice at New
York. The latter was fought by
the appropriation committee. The
only other amendment of importance
was one made by Mr. Morse (Bep.) of
Massachusetts, to cut off the appro-
priation for the interstate commerce
commission. The manner in which
that portion of the appropriation for
consul fees, $184,000, was worded, led
to a rather spirited debate, in which
Mr. Cannon of Illinois, rather broadly
intimated that this appropriation had
been placed under the direction of the
commission instead, of the department
of justice, as heretofore, because of
the criticism against Attorney Gene-
ral Olney from certain quarters that
he was in sympathy with corporations.
Commission Case.
Washington, March 10.—Attorney
General Culberson had a long inter-
view with Chief Justice Fuller ia re-
gard to the Texas railroad commis-
sion cases. The argument of Mr.
Culberson wasvin the direction of get-
ting a speedy settlement of these cases
by the courts. He said that the peo-
ple of Texas were anxious that they
should be passed upon and the law
established one way or the other.
He therefore desired that a hearing
should be granted by the supreme
court at the earliest possible moment.
The result was that the 2d day of
April was set as the day of argument
as before that time there was little
possibility of a full court. Justice
Jackson is in Florida for his health
and will not return before the 1st of
April. The court is not disposed to
hear any cases of the importance of
these railroad commission cases in-
volving constitutional questions with-
out a full bench.
good reasons for the belief that th« j
deficiency in the revenues of the gov-
ernment for the present fiscal year
will fall considerably below Mr. Car-
lisle's estimates. In his statement to
the house judiciary committee on Jan.
25, the secretary expressed the opin-
ion that the deficit for the year
would be $78,000,000 or $79,000,000,
bat the conditions have changed
somewhat since then and it is now
the opinion of experts, who base
their estimates upon the best data ob-
tainable, that the deficiency will be
found not to exceed $70,000,000. This
conclusion is based independent oi
any increase of the receipts of inter-
nal revenue incident to the probable
increase in the duties in the liquor,
tobacco and other schedules of the
pending tariff bill. The closest and
most careful estimates of the receipts
from customs place the amount at the
close of the year at $135,000,000, of
which $92,657,422 had already been
realized March 1.

It is observed that the steamship
companies engaged in bringing thou-
sands upon thousands of undesirable
immigrants to this country ©very
year, are quite active in circulating
the story that they are carrying
more people back than they bring-
over. It looks much like an effort
to allay an opposition to their busi-
ness, which opposition is becoming
more and more formidable. The fig-
ures of the returning Europeans are
never official.
r$r -—-r-
r" A RESOLUTION in favor of birching
bad boys instead of sending them to
prison has been sent to the British
home secretary signed by a number
of magistrates. The proposition is
to birch boys under sixteen for all
offenses, at the discretion of the
magistrate. The judicious use of
the birch, it is believed, would not
only have a more salutary effect,
but would save the boys from acquir-
ing the prison taint, losing their
dread of the prison and sinking
deeper into crime.
It is said that great consignments
of the little Florida lizards which
were originally sent to New York
have been received in Montreal. If
this is so it is bad for those harm-
less but persecuted little animals,
for a Montreal judge has decided
that the society with the long name
has no jurisdiction over animals
other than domestic ones. Apart
from the cruelty of confining the
lizards it is a heartless proceeding
to expose them to the frigid blasts
that hold Montreal captive at this
time of the year. The change from
the graveyards and moss-banked
swamps of Florida is great.
The hotel keepers in London re-
joice over the large number of ap-
plications they have already received
for apartments the coming season.
All over the continent the coming of
the liberal Americans is anxiously
looked for. The tendency to go
abroad to spend money made here
ought to be made more unpopular
than it is. We complain of Chinese
and Italians for going to their old
homes after they have made a for-
tune here; but Americans who yearly
go to Europe to do the same thing
have less excase than have foreign-
ars, because the ties of patriotism do
not bind the latter as they should
biad ue.
Chadiok-Cherolieo Case.
Washington, Marc£ JO.—A joint
resolution wa? Vaster day "Nuit.rodncp.rl
"""Th'tlie fiftuse by Mr. Holman requiring
the secretary of the trgasurl to inter-
plead in the case of Chadick vs. Wil-
son & Co., now in the court of claims.
This is a suit growing out of the sale
of the $6,000,000 bonds issued by the
government in payment for the Chero-
kee strip. Chadick made an offer for
the bonds and put up $100,000 to bind
the bid. Afterward the Cherokee
council accepted the bid of R. L.
Wilson & Co. of New York, and this
suit is the result. The object of the
resolution was to require the secre-
tary 'of the treasury to come into court
anii;ask which one of the parties the
boffds should be turned over to. It
was referred to the judiciary com-
mittee and that committee yesterday
unanimously ordered the resolution
reported back to the house adversely.
Seigniorage Debate.
Washington, March 14.—The pro-
ceedings in the senate yesterday were
of an uninteresting character. With-
out the intervention of any morning
business except the presentation of a
few petitions and the introduction of
some unimportant bills, the senate
took up the discussion of the seign-
iorage bill. Senator Stewart and
Lindsay spoke in favor and Mr. Dolph
spoke in opposition, holding that its
passage would destroy the existing
equality between gold and silver.
The two new senators, Mr. McLaurin
of Mississippi and Mr. Blanchard of
Louisiana, received their committee
appointments.
The Fall Committee.
Washington, March 13.—The sen-
ate finance committee had the tariff
bill up for consideration yesterday.
Mr. Aldrich moved a resolution giv-
ing workingmen, farmers and manu-
facturers five days in which to be
heard upon the bill, but it was de-
feated by a strictly party vote. Ten
articles of the bill were passed with-
out change. The committee was sup-
plied with a tabulated statement pre-
pared by the treasury department
showing in detail the amount which
it is estimated will be received under
the senate bill if it should become a
law, also giving the estimate under
the Wilson bill, and comparing both
with the returns from the treasury
department under the present law for
1893. The statement also gives an
estimate of the increase in the inter-
nal revenue under the senate bill
which is as follows: Income tax,
$30,000,000; spirits, $20,000,000;
cigars, $9,000,000.; cigarette <, $1,500,-
000; playing cards, $5,000,000, total
increase, $65,500,000. The estimated
duties of the senate bill as compared
with those of the Wilson bill and the
returns under the present law by
schedules are: Total present law,
$198,373,432; house $124,693,004;
senate, $165,903,771. The average
ad valorem under the present law is
49.98; under the house bill, 35.52;
under the senate bill, 34.19. The
comparison of the sugar sohedule
shows that during the last year 15,-
490,757 gallons of molasses were im-
ported, upon which no duty was paid,
but which, under the senate bill would
produce $369,815. During the year
3,531,219,367 pounds j/sugar, valued
at $114,959,870, imported free.
Upon thianriV^cna^bill would yield
a revenue of *4.*.,043,413.
Los Angeles, Cal., March 14.—The
industrial army movement is creating
considerable sensation here. Over
800 unemployed organized a regiment
several weeks ago and expect to join
their comrade's from throughout the
western states to march to Washing-
ton. They sent a delegation to the
city council one night recently to ob-
tain transportation for the Los Angeles
regiment to Washington. Gen. Frye,
commander of the army, yesterday
sent notice to Secretary of War La-
mont of the moving- army and inclosed
its constitution and by-laws. A de-
mand is made that Lamont order ra-
tions issued to the army from various
posts and provide transportation.
Gen. Frye significantly states that the
army will number 3,000,000 by the
time it reaches Washington and inti-
mates that it will be just as well to
accede to its reouests.
A Ten Thousand Dollar Haul.
Guthrie, Ok., March 14.—United
States Marshal Nix received word
yesterday afternoon from Woodward,
in the western part of the Cherokee
strip, that at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning Station Agent Bourke was
taken from his room at the hotel by
two robbers and made to go to the
depot, open the safe and deliver
the contents. There was a package
of money from Leavenworth "for the
Fort Supply paymaster, contain-
ing about about $10,000; also one
package of money and checks for Wel-
lington and about $40 in money.
Neither of the men were masked, and
the agent has furnished the marshal
with a good description of them. They
were mounted on bay horses and rode
off toward the Cheyenne reservation
after securing the money. The de-
scription given fits two members of
the Dalton gang. A large posse of
officers left for that section yesterday
evening to run the robbers down.
After the Spot's-
Washington, March 12.—The sen-
ate having adjourned Friday till to-
day and the house being engaged in
the^consideration of the appropriation
bill for the District of Columbia, Sat-
urday there was nothing- done of a
nature interesting to the public on the
outside. The congressmen took ad-
vantage of the occasion to go to the
departments in the interest of home
office seekers. As a result the depart-
ments were besieged.
Good Amendment.
Washington, March 14.—Senator
Coke has had incorporated in the
tariff bill a provision to the effect that
any cattle, horses, sheep or other
domestic animals which have strayed
across the boundry line into a foreign
country, or have been driven across
the boundary line for pasturage pur-
| poses, may be brought back to the
| Lnited States free of duty under reg-
i ulations to be prescribed by the sec-
retary of the treasury.
Must cto Back.
Washington, Marei;. 12.—An inter-
esting alien contract labor case was
decided Saturday by Commissioner
Stump of the immigration bureau. It
appears that Ch. Barl Fischer, a Bus-
sian subject 35 years old, arrived in
the port of New York on February 20
last and was barred a landing by the
board of special inquiry as a contract
laborer. It is admitted that
Fischer was an assisted immigrant,
his brother-in lav/, a pantsmaker,
in Philadelbhia, paid his passage and
gave him work, on arrival. In view
o(f him being an assisted immigrant in
addition to there having evidently
been an understanding that Fischer
was to work for the brother-in-law,
the commissioner holds that he comes
within the prohibition of the statutes
and therefore directs that he be de-
ported to the country from which he
came at the expense of the steamship
company bringing him to the United
States.
Fatal Vermont Wreck.
Burlington, Vt., March 13.— Sun-
day night's express from Boston to
Montreal via Concord over the Cen-
tra i Vermont railroad ran into two
large boulders in a rock cut about
three miles south of Montpelier, com-
v*plet-ely wrecking the engine, baggage
and man cars and killing Engineer
McKenna. Fireman Simpson had his
shoulder dislocated, and two mail
clerks were seriously but not fatally
bruised. None of tne passengers were
seriously injured.
Progress of the Bland Bill.
Washington, March 10.—At the
opening of the senate yesterday, the
Bland seigniorage bill came up as un-
finished business. Mr. Allison asked
that the bill go over until Wednes-
day at 4 o'clock. Mr. Manderson in-
quired if amendments could be
oflered. Mr. Harris replied that he
did not think he would consent to
this. Considerable discussion fol-
lowed and finally Mr. Harris sug-
gested that Wednesday a vote be
taken on Mr. Allison's motion to re-
consider and if that failed Mr. Man-
derson might move to commit to the
finance committee, the final vote to
be taken Thursday at 2 o'clock. This
was agreed to and debate on the bill
was then resumed.
Crazy Farmer.
Ozone, Ark., March 13 News has
reached here of an attempted double
murder ten miles south of here follow-
ed by suicide. Will Shickely, a
farmer, attacked his wife and child
with a knife, his intention being to
kill them The women escaped with
her babe after a fearful struggle.
W hen she, with the neighbors, she
aroused, returned, they found her
husband dead with his throat cut
from ear to ear. There is no known
cause for the affair.

Justice White.
Washington, March 13.—The in-
duction into office of the new associ-
ate justice. ex-Senator White of Louis-
iana, attracted a large attendance to

•State live stock commissioners have
adopted the line established bv the
United States department of agricult-
ure as the boundary line for the en-
forcement of quarantine regulations
for protection against splenetic or
southern fever. A proclamation will
be issued prohibiting the importation
of cattle from points south of that
line except under such restrictions as
the commission makes.
Mrs# Stocking: Burned-
_ Washington, March 14 Mrs. Pat-
tie Miller Stocking was so badly burned
by the overturning of a lamp she was
lighting Monday night that she can
scarcely survive. Mrs. Stocking is
the widow of Col. Stocking, one of the
heroes of Andersonville, and daughter
of the late Associate Justice Miller of
the supreme court. She has for sev-
eral years held a clerkship in the in-
terior department.

Policy Unchanged.
London, March 13.— Parliament
resumed its sitting yesterday enter-
ing uvsoh a period that is of the great-
est importance to the empire and
marking what may prove to be the
beginning of a complete reorganiza-
tion of parties. In the speech from,
the throne the queen said: "Nego-
tiations are in progress with the
United States for the purpose of exe-
cuting the award of the court of arbi-
tration in the question of the seal
fisheries of the Behring sea. Two
collisions accompanied by lamentable
loss of life lately occurred in the ■■
French colonies in west Africa. I
await the result of the inquiry in re-
gard to these deplorable occurrences -
with full confidence that they will be->
examined in a calm and dignified
temper, as befits two great nations
upon such an occasion." Lord Bose-
bery then delivered an address.
An Inhumane Act.
Chicago, 111., March 12.—Albert,
Barkowsky, 18 years old, and George
Dunn, a bartender, were arrested
yesterday for inflicting serious and
cruel wounds upon Thomas T. Davies,
a porter in a barber shop, with a hot
iron. Davies went to the saloon
owned by Barkowsky's father greatly
under the influence of liquor and the.
injuries were inflicted by the prison-
ers. Both of his eyebrows were
burned away and under each eye the
hot iron burned a track an inch long
and a similar mark was left behind
each ear. On each wrist the skin
was burned away for an inch and a,
half, and on each leg, for a distance
of six inches, the hot iron burned al-
most to the bone. In the region of
the abdomen also there are severe
burns, while many of his ribs were
traced with the hot iron. He will
probably be a cripple for life Ther
prisoners had no reason for their dia-
bolical treatment of the unfortunate
man except pure maliciousness*
A Cowardly Murder,
Paris, Ark., March 10.—News has
just reached here of a terrible double
murder committed four miles south of
Booneville, this county. The crime
was evidently committed Sunday
night, the 25th ultimo. Two horse
traders and their cook, a young man
about 20 years of age, went into camp
in an outhouse near Booneville on the
date named. That night pistol shots
were heard, and the next day the
young man was seen and the two
horse traders were missing. That
evening the house they had camped
in burned down. It was noticed that
the young man was in possession of
all the horses and cattle that belonged
to the traders. Citizens began to sus-
pect foul play and went to where the
house was bnrned, and in the ashes
found the bones of tvfshuman beings*
The young man was immediately ar-
rested on the charge of murder.
Woman Lynched.
Little Bock, Ark., March 12.—The
colored population of Little Bock were
greatly exercised yesterday afternoon
over a reported ghastly discovery
made by several of their color in re-
turning from Marche. About half
way between this city and Marche
they found the dead body of a young
mulatto woman, probably about 30
years old, suspended to the limb of a
tree. On her bosom was a placard
bearing the inscription: "If anybody
cuts this body down they will share
the same fate." Several parties re-
ported finding the body. It is sup-
posed the woman was lynched, but
when, by whom and for what reason
no one has been able to state. The
body appeared to have been dead sev«
era! days.
A Gambling House Robbed.
Colorado City, Colo., March 12.—
Four masked and armed men entered
the Oxford club, a gambling house, at
3 a. m. yesterday, and ordered every-
body in the place to throw up their
hands. All did so except Ed Donald-
son^ the colored porter, who dodged
behind the ice box. A shot intended
for him wounded another negro in the
foot. The robbers did not get much
booty, as the games had been stopped
and the bank roll locked in the safe.
They drove away in a rig which had /
been left at Colorado Springs, and
which was found on the street thera
yesterday.
Far well Litigation. /
Chicago, 111., March 10. --rlhe fam-
ous litigation between. Wm. Sturgas,
the Chicago promoter, and John V.
Farwell and his associates* in the ;
lexas capitol and other schemes will
be ended in an unusual manner. It
has been decided to refer every point
to Judge Tuley on April 4 for arbitra-
tion, and from his decision there will
be no appeal. The case involves 3,-
000,000 acres of land in the Panhandle
country of Texas and 150,000 head of,
cattle.
