8 HILL’S FIGHT ON THE TAX. He Gives Fifteen Reasons Why It Should Be Defeated. His Motion to Wipe the Tax From the Bill Defeated by a Vote of 40 Nays to 24 Ayes—The Bill Not Apt to Reach the House Before Tuesday. Text of the New York Senator’s List of Reasons. Washington, June 28.—One more day will see the tariff bill out of the commit tee of the whole and in the Senate proper. Then the voting will begin all over again, which ought not to last a day. But Sena tor Hill intends carrying his light against the income tax into the Senate. “Why will you do this, to delay the bill I” was asked him to-day. “No, only to impress the position I am taking on the country. Speeches against this measure cannot be repeated too often.” So it may be until Saturday before the bill leaves the Senate, in which case it cannot reach the House before Tuesday. The vote on the income x to-day showed that measure to ba the most popular one in the bill. Mr. Hill’s final motion to wipe it from the pages of the bill was lost by a vote of 24 to 40. Sena tor Hill made a strong fight, but an ut terly useless one, save for the credit which comes to him from his own state. He did not gain one vote to his side, save those which came from the republicans. TUB WAY IN THE SENATE. By the Southern Associated Press. Washington. June 28—To-day again twenty minutes of the morning half hour of the Senate were used up in waiting for a quorum. The House joint resolution to continue all the regular annual appropriation bills for one month, after June 80, was laid before the Senate and received its second reading. Mr. Cockrell, chairman of the commit tee on appropriations, moved that it be referred to that committee. Mr. Hoar gave notice that when re ported back he would move to amend it by substituting for it the sundry civil ap propriation bill for the current year. Mr. Hoar advocated his proposition and was still speaking when, at 10:80 o’clock a. m., the Vice President interrupted him and laid before the Senate the tariff bill. The motion to refer the joint resolution for the continuance of the appropriations went over, therefore, without action. The pending question when the Senate adjourned yesterday was section OB of the tariff bill, which requires business cor porations to keep full, regular and accu rate books of accounts, which shall be at all reasonable times open to the inspec tion of internal revenue officers. An amendment had been offered to it by Mr. Hill so as to make it read, “reasonable hours between March al, and August 1, in each case,” and Mr. Chandler moved to add to Mr. Hill’s amendment the words “on due order of some judge of a United States court.” THE SECTION UNDER FIRE. Messrs. Teller, Manderson, Allison and Hill thought the entire section was ob jectionable, and ought to be reformed or withdrawn entirely. Mr. Vest, in the hope that his action might terminate the debate, presented an amendment as a substitute for the sec tion, prepared by himself and Mr. George. It strikes out the clause requiring the books to be open for inspection, and sub stitutes for it a clause that when a col lector or a deputy collector shall believe that a true and accurate return of the income of a corporation has not been made he shall make an affi davit of said belief and of the grounds on which it is founded, and shall file it with the commissioner of Internal revenue, who shall issue a request in writing to the corporation to allow an examination to be made. In case of refusal by the cor poration, the collector shall make an esti mate, from the information m his posses sion and shall ada 50 per cent, thereto, and that shall be the lawful assessment. The discussion on the section and on the amendments was kept up for another hour ; and then, on motion of Mr. Harris, Mr. Chandler’s amendment was laid on the table—yeas 82, nays 17. Mr. Hoar was arguing in favor of Mr. Hill’s amendment, and noticing Mr. Har ris was on his feet, remarked, humor ously, that the senator from Tennessee seemed prepared to move to lay the ex amination of the United States on the table. MR. HARRIS HOT. “I would like,” said Mr. Harris, severely, and in a tone which carried con viction, “to lay the senator frorq Massa chusetts on the table, if I could.” [Gen eral laughter. | Mr. Hoar wont on with his argument, and added, “And now, if our lively and wideawake friend, the senator from Tennessee, desires to make a motion to lay on the table I will yield to him.” “I avail myself,” said Mr. Harris, “of the kindly suggestion of the senator from Massachusetts, and move to lay on the table the amendment offered by the sena tor from New York.” • Mr. Hill’s amendment was laid on the table without a division. Then the question came on the amend ment offered by Mr. Vest. The amendment was agreed to without a division. Then Mr. Hill moved to strike out sec tion 66, and that motion was rejected without a division. Mr. Hill moved to go back to section 56, which requires Individuals to make re turns of their Incomes and to strike out the words “by the examination of such persons.” After some argument, Mr. Vest sug gested, for the sake of saving time, to make the clause read, “By inquiry of such person,” but that did not entirely meet Mr. Hill’s objection, and he insisted on his amendment. Rejected—yeas 28, nays 85. Sections 67. 69, 70 and 71 were struck out of the bill on motion of Mr. Vest. Section 08 was amended. HILL’S FIFTEEN OBJECTIONS. This finished all the sections relating to the income tax. and Mr. Hill* submitted a motion to strike them all out of the bill. He epitomised his objections to the in come tax, under fifteen heads. 1. An income tax has no legitimate place in a tariff reform bill. It is unjust to those who desire to support a revision of the tariff bill who cannot consistently or conscientiously favor an income tax'. If admissible at all, it should have been embraced in a separate measure. The effort to retain it in this bill has hin dered, delayed and sacrificed the cause of tariff reform, and compelled the surren der of many essential principles which should have accompanied a genuine tariff revision. 2. An income tax is neither a demo cratic nor a republican principal, and has never been approved by the people at the polls, but is one of the doctrines of the Populist party, the votes of whose sena tors in the Senate aro expected to be the ■"!* means of fastening it upon this bill and upon the people. THE TAX UNNECESSARY. 3. It is an unnecessary tax. The de bate has conclusively demonstrated the fact that the needs of the treasury will pot require the proceeds of this tax, but BAKING POWDER. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE that sufficient revenues will be realized under the other provisions of the measure. No proper esti mate has been furnished of the revenues expected to be realized from this tax, but it is blindly urged without re gard to anticipated revenue or conse quences. 4. It is a direct tax within the true in tent and meaning of the constitution, and not beine laid in proportion to population, is unconstitutional, and cannot be en forced. 5. It is unequal, unjust and sectional in its design and operation, and is princi pally urged by the representatives of those states which will be least affected by Its provisions. It is an attack upon the thrift, the energy and the enterprise of the north, rather than an honest effort to reach the accumulated wealth of the country by constitutional and just means. 6. It is the revival of an odious war tax in a time of profound peace. x THE EXEMPTION UNJUST. 7. The exemption of all incomes not ex ceeding $4,000, is an exemption unprece dented in the history of income tax legis lation here or anywhere in the world, and stamps the measure as the most offensive species of class legislation. While osten sibly aimed at the rich, it permits one having an investment of #BO.OOO drawing interest at 5 per cent, to escape all taxa tion under it. Whether it injures the very rich or not, it clearly does not help the poor. It is not based upon any con sistent theory. Either substantially all incomes should be taxed, or none at all. 8. It is unjust and indefensible in its discriminations. It necessarily exempts the income from $685,000,000 of govern ment bonds, but denies the same exemp tion to state bonds. It exempts $4,000 from the individual, income of a citizen derived from his general business, but denies him the same exemption if his income is derived from a corporate invest ment. It unnecessarily and injuriously discriminates against corporate invest ments by individuals. THE BILL RETROACTIVE. 9. It is retroactive in its operation. It compels the payment of a tax upon in comes realized since Jan. 1, 1894, being at least six months before the passage of the act, which should only apply to future in comes if at all.. 10. It usurps those fields of revenue which properly belong to the states. Tariff taxation being exclusively under the con stitution the province of the federal gov ernment, it should mainly confine Itself to that method of raising its necessary revenues, without encroaching upon the rights, preogatives and revenues of the states. This measure not only pro vides for income taxation proper, but in cludes an inheritance and gift tax, there by trespassing upon a field already occu pied by many of the states. Incomes, if taxed at all, should be taxed by state rather than federal authority. The statds are suffering more from lack of sufficient and proper revenues than is the general government. What are essen tially local revenues should be reserved for local purposes. INQUISITORIAL AND OFFENSIVE. 11. Its provisions are inquisitorial and offensive in their character. A citizen is compelled to give evidence against him self and to submit to the production and inspection books and papers. The political agents of the government are vested with vast powers which are liable to abuse. Taxation may be increased 100 per cent, and other severe penalties may be imposed. It is a system of taxation adopted for a monarchial government, but unsuited for a free government. 12. It violates the constitution because it usurps those revenues derived from cer tain domestic corporations which the states have themselves created, and the revenues of which corporations the states have set apart for the uses of their own state governments. Those revenues can not constitutionally be destroyed, di minished or interfered with by the gen eral government. The proposed taxisan attack upon the sovereignty of the states, their reserved rights, the doctrine of home rule, and every just principle of government for which we have ever here tofore contended. WILL INCREASE TAXATION. 18. The absorption of these legitimate state revenues by the general government as here proposed, will necessarily lead to increased direct taxation by the states and add to the existing direct burdens of the people. 14. The tax proposed is double that recommended by Secretary Carlisle. 18. It will duplicate taxation, create friction, and promote conflict or conten tion between the government and the states, is contrary to the established policy of the government, is a step towards socialism, and is unwise from every point of political expediency. Mr. Manderson asked Mr. Hill whether the paper which he had read was an in dictment against the income taxifeatures of the bill. Mr. Hill—lt partakes of that nature. Mr. Manderson-—1 want to add another count. Mr. Hill—There is ample opportunity for a great many more; but in my desire to be brief I left out a large number. Mr. Manderson—The count which I would add is: “It creates a class to nay a part of the expenses of the government and is a step toward the creation of a privi leged few constituting a moneyed aristoc racy which, contributing from their abundant revenues or incomes to the sup port of the government, will rule it.” Mr. Hill—l accept the amendment. HILL’S MOTION DEFEATED. The question was taken on Mr. Hill’s motion to strike out all the income tax sections of the bill, and the motion was rejected—yeas 24, nays 40. There were only two democratic sena tors, Messrs. Hill of New York and Smith of New Jersey* voting in favor of the motion; but it was stated by Mr. Smith that his colleague (Mr. McPher son) would vote in the same wav if he were present. The votes in the negative were given by the three populist senators —Messrs. Allen, Kyle and Peffer; by Irby, and by six republican senators— Messrs. Hansbrough, Mitchell of Oregon, Pettigrew. Power, Shoup and Teller. Mr. Hoar was recorded on this vote but when he found that Mr. Pugh (with whom Mr. Hoar was paired) had not voted, Mr. Hoar withdrew his vote, making the result stand—yeas 28, nays 40 DISTILLED SPIRITS. The sections relating to distilled spir its were quickly reached, but not quickly disposed of. The main discussion was upon the increase of the tax on whisky and the extension of the bonded period, Messrs Sherman and Allison opposing both. Messrs. Vest. Vorhees, MmAs and Lind say defended the action ofijlhe finance committee. Me. Peffer moved to insert a new sec tion, imposing a tax of $1.50 per barrel on beer, ale, etc. Rejected—yeas. 20. nays, 34. Three populist senators, Messrs. Allen, Kyle, and Peffer, voted for the amend ment and the fourth, Mr. Stewart voted against it. Senator Hill and Irby, dems., THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894. and Mitchell, rep., of Oregon, also voted against it. Mr. Aldrich moved to strike out of sec tion 82 the words “the first day of the second calendar month after,” so as to make It read “that non and after the passage of this act, the tax of $1.10.a gallon shall be levied on all distilled spirits in bond at that time, and that may be produced thereafter.” No opposition was offered on the part of the finance committee and the amend ment was adopted without a division. THE SUBSTITUTE AGREED TO. The committee substitute for section 82 was then agreed to without a division. It provides that on and after the passage of the act a tax of sl.lO per gallon shall be levied on all distilled spirits then in bond or that may thereafter be produced in the United States. Sections 83 to 101, making provisions as to the warehouseing of distilled spirits and as to allowance for losses, etc., were agreed to without opposition. Section 102 defines constitutes a manufacturer of tobacco. Several amend ments of a merely formal character were offered to it and agreed to. Section 103, modifying the act of June 20, 1876 (a formalchange), was agreed to; and section 104 having been reached (the last section but one of the bill), Mr. Hale of Maine said that he had an amendment to offer to it which could not be disposed of this evening. It is the section abro gating the reciprocity treaties. He in tended to move to strike it out. • The Senate, therefore, at 7 p. m. ad journed, after a continuous session of nine hours. NEW MEXICO TO BE A STATE. The House Passes the Bill for Its Ad mission. Washington, June, 28.—Several bills were passed by the Hojuse in the morning hour to-day under requests for unanimous consent, but none of general interest, or into which politics entered. Then the bill to provide for the ad missioA of New Mexico to the union was called up by Mr. Wheeler of Alabama. There were no further amendments, ex cept to perfect the text, proposed; and when the reading had been concluded Mr. Wheeler delivered a brief patriotic address of welcome to the new candidate for admission to the sisterhood of states, which evoked applause from both sides of the chamber. Mr. Wheeler said: Mr. Speaker: The last paragraph of this im portant bill has been read, and its considera tion is completed. Now by our votes we are to have the pleasing duty of adding another star to the banner which the world reveres as the emblem of American courage, American progress and American freedom. Welcome, thrice welcome, noble, chivalrous peo ple, to our sisterhood of states. I say welceme to our brothers, the brave / merican pioneers, who have made their homes in this land of the far. far west Welcome, our Spanish brethren, whose ancestors braved the broad Atlantic and planted the seeds of Christianity and civiliza tion in the valley of the Rio Grande nearly a century before our forefathers landed upon the shores of Virginia and New England. Welcome, thrice welcome, to all the rights, all the joys, and all the blessed privileges of this great, glorious and proud republic. The bill was then passed without a division. HALL OF RECORDS. Under the terms of a special order adopted May 7, Mr. Bankhead of Ala bama called up the Senate bill providing for the construction of a hall of records in the city of Washington. The House committee on buildings and grounds re ported a substitute for it, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase half a block of ground just south of the capitol grounds, at a cost of $300,000 and erect a building thereon to cost $200,000. The portion of the property not occupied by the hall of records is to be for storage and folding rooms for the House of Rep resentatives. Opposition was promptly manifested, partly on the ground that the price named for the ground is excessive and partly on the ground that the government already owns suitable building sites. On a motion to fix the price » for the property to be purchased at $175,000, of fered by Mr. Bryan of Nebraska,cjthe vote by tellers was—ayes 81, nays 62. Mr. Baker, of New Hampshire, made the point of no quorum, and a roll call disclosing but 175 members present, at 4:20 o’clock the House adjourned till to morrow without action on the bill. VERMONT’S DEMOCRATS. G. W. Smith Nominated for Governor With a Full Ticket. Burlington, Vt., June 28.—The demo cratic state convention was called to or der in this city to-day by J. Berinton, of Montpelier, chairman of the state com mittee, who made a brief address. P. J. Farrell, of Newport, was made chairman and spoke at length. These nominations were made by acclamation: For Governor —G. W. Smith of Hart ford. For Lieutenant Governor—E. N. Bul lard of Simonton. For Secretary of State—J. W. Gordon of Barre. For Treasurer—Charles Clark of Rut land. For Auditor—E. E. Sargent of St. Johnsbury. AN EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS. Eight Men More or Lees Painfully Injured. Chicago, June 28.—8 y the explosion of a case of fireworks on the rear platform of a special train bringing home the marching club of the Cook county dem ocracy last night eight members were burned. When the special pulled into Bloomington preparations were made to give a display, as the chairman of the convention, Owen Scott, was to get off there. A box of fireworks was placed on the rear platform of the private car in which Franklin McVeagh, Mayor Hop kins and other prominent members were riding. In some way the fireworks igni ted, and the explosion followed. Mayor Hopkins had one side of his face and his Hands burned and his mustache and hair sinned. Seven others were more or less burned. ROSEBERRY’S RACERS. The Premier Replies to the Anti- Gambling League. London, June 28.—Lord Roseberry, in his reply to the letter sent him by the Anti-Gambling League, protesting against horseracing, says: “My position is simply this: Like Cromwell, whose official position was higher than mine, and the strictness of whose principles can not be questioned, I possess a few race horses, and lam glad when one of these happens to be a good one.” SANTO’S BLOODY STILETTO. No Longer Any Doubt That He Had Accomplices in the Plot. One of the Suspects Plungec a Knife Into His Abdomen and Falls Dead at the Feet of the Police Who Were About to Arrest Him—Premier Du puy and the Cabinet Resign—Perier to Attend the Funeral of the Dead President. Paris, June 28.—Police visited the lodg ings of a man named Granier in Montpe lier this morning with a view of ascer taining bis connection, if any, with the murder of President Carnot. It is alleged that about 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon Granier was heard to say: “By this time Carnot must have received his account.” When the police arrived at Granier's lodgings they ordered him to surrender. With a quick movement, Granier, with out uttering a word, seized a long knife lying upon a table and plunged it into his abdomen, falling dead at the feet of the police. The police are now certain that the murder of President Carnot was the result ot a conspiracy between Santo, Laborie, Granier and others to avenge the executions of Vailant and Henry. President Casimir-Perier presided this morning at the council of the ministers. It was decided to ask the chambers to morrow for a credit of 50,000 francs to be applied to the expenses of the funeral of the late President Sadi-Carnot. Premier Dupuy will deliver the funeral oration. M. Dupuy, it is announced, has finally de cided to resign the premiership and pro poses to go to Contrexeville, where he will take mineral waters. The city was perfectly quiet through out the night. The Journal Official this morning pub lished the resignation of Premier Dupuy and his ministers. They will remain in office, however, until another ministry is formed. TUB RESIGNATIONS ACCEPTED. President Casimir-Perier has accepted the resignations of Premier Dupay and the other members of the misistry to go into effect after the funeral of M. Carnot, on Sunday, on which occasion M. Dupuy will deliver an oration in the Pantheon on behalf of the government. . The presi dent has asked Deputy Auguste Bor deaux, who is his particular friend, to form a cabinet. In defiance of precedent President Casimir-Perier insists upon honoring the memory of M. Carnot by attending his funeral. The anarchist, Laborie, who was ar rested at Montpelier on Monday, has con fessed to the police that the murderer, Cesario Santo, dined with him on Sunday, when the assassin confided to him the ob ject of his trip to Lyons. An anarchist named Abras has been arrested Montpelier for expressing his approval of the murder of President Car not. In observance of M. PeHer’s election to the presidency all disciplinary punish ments in the army and navy have been remitted. MUTE TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD. All the women passing the Elysee palace make the sign of the cross, and the men remove their huts. Mme. Carnot received to-day a few friends and the wives' of the civil engi neers delegation were presented by M. Challemel-LacouTf The oak cofflh in which President Carnot’s body lies had a large crack in one side this morning. As the inner lin ing of the lid could be seen through it, the police commissary ordered that a new and larger coffin be made at once. The heat is intense. The sky is clear and the florists are showing the wonders of their art. Carnot wreaths are exhibited at ever shop. More than 1,000,000 francs have been spent here already for flowers. Four hundred wreaths have been received at the Elysee palace in the last forty eight hours. A society of Paris women has ordered a funeral wreath costing 6,000 francs. Mlle. Chiris, who is be trothed to M. Carnot’s son, will send to the palace to-morrow a superb wreath eight yards in circumference, composed of Countess Chambori daisies veiled with white tulle, over which black crepe will be crossed. Workingmen are preparing President Carnot’s tomb in the Pantheon. It will be beside that of his famous ancestor, the organizer of victory. Among the candidates for the presi dency of the chamber are Henri Brisson, ex-Premier Loubet, Auguste Bordeaux and Felix Aure. M. Dupuy’s career is regarded as closed. / REPRISALS AGAINST THE FRENCH. Turin, June 28.—The exodus of thou sands of Italians from Southern France, the refugees mainly passing through Turin, culminated in reprisals here last evening. The hotels in the city which are most frequented by Frenchmen were attacked by a mob last night, and the troops dispersed the rioters with the utmost difficulty. For the remainder of the night everything was quiet, but the anti-French manifestations were resumed this morning. The force of military and the police have been strengthened. ITALIAN FUGITIVES AT METZ. Metz, June2B.—About 1,000 Italians who fled from France after the assassination of President Carnot because they were afraid they would be persecuted on account of the crime of their countryman, are camping in the open fields in the vicinity of this city. Most of them are without means, and are suffering many hardships. ENGLAND AND THE ANARCHISTS. London, June 28. —In the House of Com mons to-day Sir George Russell asked if, in view of the murder of President Carnot and- other crimes committed by the anarchists, the government intended to act in concert with the other powers in taking means to prevent further outrages. Sir William Harcourt said the question was too impor tant a one to be argued now. HANGED TO A TELEPHONE POLE. A Negro Lynched for Shooting His Employer and Hie Wife. Fort Worth, Tex., June 28.-Mr. and Mrs. Al Waite, living two miles from Sul phur Springs, ware fired upon last night by a discharged negro, John Williams. Mrs. Waite was instantly killed, and Mr. Waite mortally wounded, and will die. Williams used a Winchester. This morn- ; insr the negro was captured by the sheriff’s posse near Weaver, and taken to Sulphur Springs. While be was being guarded an enraged mob overpowered the guard and took Williams to the public ' square, where he was hanged to a tele- . phone pole. Scott Waite led the mob. It was the most bloodcurdling scene in the history of the town. LABOR DAY BILL SIGNED. The Pen Used by President Cleveland to Be Sent to President Gompers. Washington, June 28.—Representative Cummings of New York this afternoon carried the bill making Labor day a na tional holiday to the white house and President Cleveland signed it at once. The pen and holder, a plain steel stub and wooden affair, will be sent by Mr. Cum mings to Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor. RATES TO BE RESTORED. Commissioner Stahlman Talks of tho Future of the Association. Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—Commissioner Stahlman, of the Sduthern Railway and Steamship Association, who reached At lanta to-day, announces that a circular has been issued by the association order ing a restoration of rates that were cut recently, on Aug. 1. The old rates on eastern business will be resumed at that time unless the association changes its mind at the meeting to be held July 17, at Harrogate, oTenn. Commissioner Stahl man does not think there is much chance of this, however, unless the association dissolves, which he also regards as highly im probable. In speaking of the reduc tions, which averaged 60 per cent.. Com missioner Stahlman said the association made the big cuts on account bf the se cret knifing of rates by individual; lines, which were actuated by the hard times and a desperate desire to get business. The effect of the lesson administered by the association, the coromissionei* thinks, has been good. Both railroads and ship pers are now anxious for a restoration, the shippers because they do not like un certainty, and the railroads because they are losing money. After this Commis sioner Stahlman doss not think there will be much secret rate putting in violatibn of the rules of the association, at least for some time to come. TURNER’S TRIUMPH. . • -- -- - it r - --■ - Atlanta to Give the Congressman a Cordial Greeting. Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—Representative Turner telegraphed from Washington to day that he would reach Atlanta, to-mor row afternoon, and will remain in the city until Saturday night, when he will de liver an address at the opera house on the issues of the day. Hon. N. J. Hammond, who has himself been mentioned in con nection with the Senate, will introduce Representative Turner. President Porter Woodson of the chamber of commerce to-dav appointed the following committee of prominent citizens, representing both the adminis tration and the anti-administration sen timent, to act as a reception committee on Representative Turner’s arrival: N. J. Hammond, chairman; R. D. Spalding, E. P. Chamberlin, J. G. Oglesby, A'aron Haas, George M. Seiple, R. J. Cowry, Paul Romare, H. G. Saunders. A. E. Calhoun, F. H. Richardson, John T. Glenn, Clark Howell Jr., T. B. Neal, S. M. Inman, James H. Porter, Marshal J. Clarke, Julius L. Brown, La mar Collier, R. T. Dorsey, W. D. Ellis, James W. English, W. H. Hemphill, A. D. Adair, C. A.

Corrigan and Joseph Hirsch. HOAR CALLS A HALT. He Threatens to Cut Off the Tempo rary Appropriations. Washington, June 28.—A serious pros pect is opened up by the determined fight which Mr. Hoar is making in the Senate against the joint resolution to continue existing appropriations for thirty days. Unless this resolution should pass and receive the President’s signature on or before Saturday next, all the wheels of the government will be blocked and the pay of every person in the service of the government, from the President down to the humblest official, will stop. Should Mr. Hoar persist in his purpose of opposing the reference of the resolu tion for the next two mornings during the few minutes interval which elapse be tween the obtaining of a quorum and the call of the regular order (the tariff’bill) at 10:30 a. m., he can prevent the passage of the resolution. The only course then open to the majority will be the dangerous experiment of laying aside the tariff bill till the expenses of continuing the government are provided for. It is believed that the necessity of the passage of the joint resolution to con tinue the expenditures is the real obstacle in the way of Mr. Cleveland’s leaving the city. It is understood that his valet has had the President’s steamer trunk packed for a day or two, but the President can not leave Washington till the joint resolu tion is presented to him. COL. MILLER NOT A CANDIDATE. No Senatorial Candidate in the Field From the Second District. Hinesville, Ga.. June 28.—-E. P. Miller has announced, in a card in the Herald, that he is not a candidate for senator from the Second district. This with the withdrawal of the name of Capt. P. B. Smith, also published in the Herald, leaves the field entirely bare of candidates. The withdrawal of Col. Miller will cause general regret. Walter Sheppard will probably be in the race, as he has always stood high in the dem ocratic ranks. . ' . . Mallstte for the Lsgislature. Thomasville, Ga., June 28.—Dr. M. R. Mallette, of Boston, has announced [him self as a candidate for the legislature from this county. His election is as sured. ♦ ■ ) W* Wm-n SBW< B»a lowl sT4i ■ y 1 y When my little girl was one month old, she had a scab form on her face.

PUNTA GORDA NOTBS. A Swedish Colony Preparing to Lo cate Im ear Grove City. Punta Gorda, Fla., June 38.—W. S. Sheppard, of Chicago, C. M. Biorseth, and Henry Oberg, of Duluth, and Superior Pity, Wis., spent last week in town and the surrounding country, looking up a location for a Swedish colony of about 250 families. The party seemed well pleased with this section of Florida, and purchased about 10,000 acres of land on the Gulf coast near Grove City and Lemon Bay.
