dirty for his cleansing is meant go on record as a tribute to the abilities of the bath The urchin stood the wear and tear admirably and when he came forth in all the glory which soap and water brings

feeling well do you exclaimed the senator I feel just like the time Tom Morris and I broke up a big log jam over thirty years ago A man had to be a big strong husky fellow or he could never stand the hardships of the early lumber days I remember once when if I had not been a pretty strong fellow I would have been carried away with a flood of logs and ice This Tom Morris and I were hurrying to a lumber camp one day when we found that the fiver was backing up at a great rate Tom shouted to me that it was a jam of logs and he started off on a run With me close behind We soon arrived where thousands of logs were piled up at a bend in the river In a moment "Tom was in the midst of the pile I followed and started for the other side Suddenly the logs commenced to move and I made a jump for the bank and managed to catch a stout bush that was growing on the hide of the hank To this I clung with all my strength yelling for Tom to help me I could not drag myself out of the water and all I could do was to hold on with my body in the water After staying in that position for nearly half an hour Tom managed to get across the river by walking up a mile and then swimming He reached me just

Sail for Constantinople in About Two Weeks Senator Aldrich Says the Tariff Will Be a Law by July 1 Bill Washington June 2 The republican managers have decided to abandon the sugar schedule of the tariff bill reported by the senate finance committee It has not yet been determined what will be substituted for it though there is some talk of again adopting the house schedule Another suggestion is that the sugar schedule he passed when it is reached and taken up after the rest of the bill has been disposed of In the meantime there will be a caucus of the republican senators on this subject at which it is hoped the whole matter may be definitely settled The probabilities are that whatever modifications are made in the schedule it will still be favorable to the sugar trust The republican leaders may fight and quarrel among themselves a great deal but in the end it will be found that the sugar trust has been amply provided for The finance commitee is now considering some of the modifications to be made In the sugar schedule One proposition which is under consideration is to abandon altogether the compound duties on sugar testing above 87 degrees by the polariscope making all rates on the higher grade sugars specific and retaining purely ad valorem duties on sugars which do not show a test above 87 degrees Another proposition which is being considered is to have the ad valorem duties on lower grade sugars calculated on the basis of the price of such sugars in the market instead of on the invoice price at the point of shipment thus insuring greater uniformity in valuation and slightly reducing the differential duty Judge Andrew Bradley of the district supreme court who presided at the trials of the sugar magnates Havemeyer and Searles and directed the jury in each case to bring in a verdict of acquittal has served eight years on the bench having been appointed by President Harrison His connection with the sugar trust cases has suddenly given him a great deal of notoriety Judge Bradley v'as born in Washington and is 54 years of age His family has been prominent in the affairs of the district for almost a century He graduated at Harvard and practiced law in Washington for twenty-two years before he went on the bench He was appointed through the influence of Jere Wilson who attained national prominence by his conduct of the breach of promise case of Madeline Pollard against Congressman Breckinridge of Kentucky Secretary Gage and Comptroller Eckels will attend a dinner to be given by the association of Maryland at Cumberland tomorrow evening Cumberland is the home of both Governor Lowndes and Senator Wellington Next Tuesday evening Mr Eckels will deliver the biennial oration before the literary societiies of Franklin and Marshall college at Lancaster Pa He has chosen as the subject for his address Political Euties Attaching to It was announced at the state department today that the Turkish government had withdrawn all opposition to the appointment of Dr Angeli of Detroit as minister to that country The objection it seems was based on a misunderstanding in the first place The Turkish officials in some way received the impression that Dr Angeli intended to pursue actual missionary work in behalf of the the Christian religion during his stay in the Ottoman empire As soon as this impression was removed the minister of state notified Secretary Sherman that there would be no further opposition to the appointment Dr Angeli will sail for Constantinople in about two weeks It is not likely that there will be any investigation of the sugar stock scandal by the senate The Tillman resolution calling for an investigation because of newspaper charges that senators had speculated in sugar stock while the tariff bill was being considered by the finance committee will it is thought be reported adversely by the committee on contingent expenses Even if it should be favorably reported it would probable be defeated as the leading senators on both sides of the chamber are opposed to an investigation Mr McKinley as president of the United States seems to have adopted the same line of conduct that he followed as governor of Ohio During his term as governor he accepted every invitation extended to him that involved a trip out of the state Mr McKinley is evidently fond of travel He has been president only three months and during that time he has spent a week cruising in Chesapeake bay has made one trip to New Tork two trips to Philadelphia and he has his plans ail arranged for a visit to Nashville next week Senator Aldrich has made the prediction that the tariff bill will become a law by July 1 He thinks that the bill will pass the senate by June 15 and will not be in conference longer than two weeks Senator Gorman is also of the opinion that the bill will pass the senate by the middle of this month At a meeting of the democratic leaders in New York the other day Colonel John Gaynor treasurer of the state committee was present After the business of the meeting had been disposed of and the time for conversation had arrived Colonel James Coogan asked Colonel Gaynor what was the financial condition of the committee assets of the committee consist of four and a half barrels of Bryan buttons which are stored in the cellar of the Bartholdi replied Colonel Gaynor suppose if occasion required we could exchange these buttons for as many pieces of free silver without great It was expected that the nomination of Ellis Roberts of New York to be treasurer of the United States would be sent to the senate today but it was not The delay does not signify anything however as Mr Roberts is certain to be appointed Senator Platt urged that he be named as subtreasurer at New York but when the president decided to retain Conrad Jordan as subtreasurer the promise was made to Mr Platt that Roberts would be appointed treasurer The nomination will be sent to the senate within the next few days The silver men in the senate say that they will not support a bill for a currency commission which permit the president to select the members of the commission without arty restriction They say that they are perfectly willing to have a commission appointed but that they will oppose any bill for that purpose which does not provide for the appointment of part of the commissioners by the president part by the senate and part by the house of representatives The story that Speaker Reed has been threatened with assassination was invented to Senate Is Making Rapid Progress With the Tariff Bill Amendments of Democratic Members Have Scant Consideration Point Involving Senatorial Courtesy Comes Up in Executive Session South Dakota Now Third in List of Gold Producing States PROGRESS OF TARIFF BILL METAL SCHEDULE CONSIDERED Washington June 2 The senate made greater progress on the tariff bill than in any day since the debate opened completing more than half of the important metal schedule The speaking was by the democratic senators the republican senators taking no part in the debate except at rare intervals to answer questions which would expedite the advance of the bill Messrs Jones of Arkansas and Vest urged numerous amendments embodying in the main the Wilson rates but these were rejected with only one exception This exception related to anvils on which Mr Vest secured a reduction of the committee rate from 2 to 1 cents per pound It wras the first change made without the assent of the committee and it was due mainly to the listless manner of many senators in voting Early in the day Mr Tillman of South Carolina secured the adoption of a resolution directing the judiciary committee to inquire into the recent decisions against the South Carolina dispensary law with a view to reporting such legislation as might be desirable The senate in executive session today spent some time in discussing whether confirmations should be delayed because of the absence of a senator opposing them The question arose in connection with the appointment of Scobey to he receiver and Deckabach to be registrar of the land office at Olympia Wash Senator Pettis objected to their confirmation saying that Senator Turner who is absent from the city had requested that the nominations be held up until his return Without settling the principle involved the senate allowed the nominations to go over Senator Turner objects to the confirmation of these nominees because their predecessors were removed from office which he claims was an unjustified procedure on the part of the executive NOMINATIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS PRESIDENT AND SENATE ACT Washington June The president today sent the following nominations to the senate: Miguel A Otero to be governor of New Mexico: George Wallace secretary of New Mexico William Jenkins secretary of Oklahoma territory The senate in executive session today confirmed the following nominations: John Ewing of Wisconsin to be deputy auditor for the navy department

elect John Gray president and John Fox cashier Bank Examiner Caldwell is satisfied with the result of the meeting The late Johnson was a brother of Mrs Winfield wife of Judge Maurice Winfield of this city who was attorney and confidential adviser of the elder Johnson and was familiar with his financial affairs at the time of his death The judge was also attorney for the son as administrator of the estate and when questioned today concerning the indebtedness which the bank wrecker alleges to have inherited from his father he said: John Johnson accepted the administratorship of his estate he gave a bond in the sum of $100000 with Americus Poague Sarah A Johnson Ella Ward and Dottie Johnson as surety The bond was filed Feb 15 1892 and on Feb 17 1893 he filed his final report and asked to he discharged He filed a receipt of each of the heirs stating that they had received their full share of the personal estate of the deceased also requesting his discharge from the trust These receipts were brought to me by Johnson who is one of the most coldblooded scoundrels that ever walked He was a liar a thief and forger He provides a $7000 home for his wife to live in while he is in the penitentiary and turns his dying mother penniless out into the world for others to look after and I will help to keep her lie said the estate was in debt to such an extent that it would not pay out and that in assuming the debt he was forced to take funds out of the bank to meet them he was only adding another base lie to the many he had already told to cover up his stealings estate never was in debt to the extent that it would not pay out The son who now seeks to trace the origin of his downfall to the grave of his father never showed me any of the many accounts he claimed were held against the estate and in making his final report I was guided solely by his LETTER WRITER SENT TO JAIL Epistle Written by John Phillips Gets Him Into Much Judge Sears yesterday committed John Phillips to the
