light In the Senate.
I>v the .decisive vote of L 2 to 19 the |
frenate Tuesday adopted an amend- j
luent to the tariff hill placing raw cot- ’
ton, the great product of the south, on!
the dutiable list at 20 per cent ad \a 1
lore m.
It is the first time in the history oi j
tariff legislation that a duly on cotton \
has been incorporated in a hill.
The amendment was proposed l v j
Mr, Bacon, ((hi.), on his individual W
-Bpoiis.ildlity and without the approval I
e>f the finance committee, wliich llim
far has been requisite to the success ol
every amendment except a minor out i
which went through by default.
The amendment led to n spirited de
hate, democratic senators disclosing it
wide difference *f views and at times i
exchanging sharp personal criticisms. !
On the final vote six democrats
Bacon, Clay, of Georgia; Ennery,
of Louisiana; McLniirin and Till
man, of South Carolina, and Raw
lite , of Utah- voted with the. repub
lican* for the Bacon amendment, while;
the n gative vote wu solidly demo- 1
• ratio with one exception, Kvlc, popu
list.
The debate on cotton took up the
most of the day and hut little progress
was tiiftiln <m tin* bill. Curly in the
day the sugar sihedule was passed
>\er and the agricultural schedule
taken up. Less than two pages were
disposed of during the duv. The par
agraph on cattle went over, but the
balance of the agricultural schedule!
up to and including paragraph 228
was agreed to as reported, all amend
ments except that of Mr. Bacon being
rejected.
Senator Bacon, who led the figh/,
was ably seconded by Senators Clay,
McLaurin, Tillman and several Other
democrats, but the successful passage
of the amendment e:im< cully after one
of the most sensational debates of the
session.
It was a debate in which Senator
Bacon had arrayed against him Jones
and Vest anl (buy and Caffery, and
in w hich the Georgian more than held i
his own. He not only made an mi- !
answerable defense <>f his position,
but riddled the contentions of his j
critics.

At Atlanta, Tuesday night, Thomas

child disturbed his drunken “lumber, i
Without a word of warning lie sprang
from the bed, and, picking up a re- j
volvcr, leveled it at the child, and
w ith an oath pulled the trigger. The !
man then ran from the room and es- I
caped.

lfoiiee Only Five Feel Wide.
Joseph .Richardson, an eccentric
millionaire, died at New York Tues
day. He made his fortune in railroad
building and was closely associated
with the Vanderbilts and Gouhls.
Richardson’s fortune is estimated at,
$20,000,000. He dressed more like a
tramp than a wealthy man and lived
and died in a house which was only
five feet wide.
This place was called the “spite
house.” It was built because the
surrounding property owners refused
to meet Mr. Richardson’s terms for
the narrow lot.

FIRED SOCIALIST BE DUTY.
SohUer* Remove Member of French Cham
ber t.r Dcpuf leu.
There was a dramatic incident in the
chamber of deputies at Paris Saturday.
During the discussion of the labor
troubles at .La Grand Combe, in the
department of the Guard, noted for its
coal mining, glass works and zinc
smelting furnaces, M. Gorault Richard,
\ socialist deputy, referred to some of
his colleagues as “police spies.”
The chamber thereupon passed a
vote to peremptorily expel him
from the house. M. Richard, how
ever, refused to leave and the pre
sident of the chamber, M, Brlsson*
sustained the sitting and sent for the
guard on duty.
A moment or so later a squad of
eight soldiers entered the chamber of
deputies and the colonel in command
placed his hand upon the shoulder of
the socialist deputy, who thereupon
consented to go with the officer, saying
he yielded only to superior force.

The last hope of pardon has slipped
away from Lewis Bed wine, the wrecker
of the Gate City National hank at
Atlanta. This time it has swept so far
out of range as to leave the imprisoned
convict in the Ohio penitentiary hope
less and despairing. Pardon was re
fused him point blank at the hands of
President McKinley. He must serve
out his time. This despite the prom
ise made to Colonel A. E. Buck by
Attorney General McKenna that he
would do all he could in the case.
This gave the strongest kind of hope
to Redwine and his friends felt confi
dent that the month of June would
see him free.
