President Loucks in his address to
the National Farmers' alliance at To-
peka, Kan., said that never in the
period of the nation's history has

panic. It was simply a want of
money. A money famine.

dangerous to the welfare of the Amer-
ican farmer.
The bank of Austin D. Hill, at

BRETON IS DEFIANT.
THE PARIS BOMB THROWER IS
[EXAMINED.
None of His Yictims are Dead—A Sen-
sation Occurs in Court at Pittsburg,
Pa,—Many People Killed in Germany,
Caught on a Bridge,
Paris, France, Feb. 14.—Leon Bre-
ton, the anarchists waiter who threw
the bomb into a cafe situated beneath
the Hotel Terminus, opposite the St.
Lazare railroad station, Sunday be-
haves with the most cynical effron-
tery. When asked if he had ever be-
fore appeared in a police court, the
prisoner sneeringly remarked: "It
is not my custom to frequent such
places." He then assumed a coarse,
chfiang tone and seemed to glory in the
notoriety which he had earned by his
desperate conduct Sunday night. It is
now estimated that twenty or more
people were injured by Breton's bomb,
and that five people were wounded by
the revolver shots which he fired while
being pursued by or struggling with
the police. When questioned in re-
gard to his crime, Breton said among
other things: "I am an anarehist,
The sooner the bourgeoise bursts up
the better,"
Sensation in Court.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 14.—During
the trial of the fifty-eight Mansfield
coal valley rioters yesterday conster-
nation was caused by a boy handing
to District Attorney Burleigh a square
object wrapped in brown paper and
tied tightly with a string. Mr. Bur-
leigh took it in his hand for a mo-
ment, and then jumping to his feet
he threw the package on the table.
He was as white as a ghost and all
the council was scared. Mr. Bur-
leigh demanded to know where the
package came from. There were
anarchists among the prisoners and it
was known that there were many
sympathizers in the corridor outside
of the court room. When the pack-
age was opened it was found to con-'
tain half a dozen old books. A smile
passed around and Mr. Burleigh ad-
mitted he had been caught on a joke.
A Double Tragedy.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 12.—A speciaf
from Birmingham, Ala., says: News
has reached here of a bloody double
tragedy at Johns, twenty miles away.
Dennis Clements and Will Barge were
in love with the same young lady.
They met at her home and a quarrel
resulted in Barge finally drawing a
pistol and shooting and killing Clem-
ents in the presence of the horrified
young lady, who appealed piteously
for him not to shoot. Barge fled and
later on Deputy Sheriff Holman at-
tempted to arrest him, but Barge
drew a pistol and said, "I am fixed
for you and you can't arrest me."
Barge palled the trigger of his gun,
but it failed to Are. Holman quickly
raised a shotgun and blew Barge's
head off.
Many People Kilted.
Berlin, Germany, Feb. 14.—At
Luckenwalde in Brandenburg a fac-
tory chimney was blown down by the
recent gale and crashed through a
portion of the buildings, killing ten
persons and injuring many others. A
factory chimney was also blown down
at Rintelu in Cassel and caused the
death of two persons and the injury
of several. Much damage was done
by the storm in Hessee and Waldeck.
The storm at Cuxhaven was the most
violent experienced in years. The
Danish schooner Ellida was driven
ashore at that place and a boy was
drowned.
Three Men Killed.
Bellevue, O.. Feb. 13.—Two
freight trains collided on the Wheel-
ing and Lake Erie roads two miles
east of here yesterday morning.
Three men were killed. The bodies
were mangled and their limbs were
broken. The killed were two engi-
neers and one fireman. The cause of
the wreck is a mystery, but it is
thought that the engineer of train
No. 9 overlooked the signals of No. 5
for a second section, which is pre-
sumably the cause, as a big snow and
wind storm was raging.
Caught on a Uriuge.
Eufaula, Ala., Feb. 14.—A Geor-
gia Central train, while crossing the
Chattahoochee river bridge near here
yesterday morning, caught a party of
eight men thereon with the following
result: John Davis, killed; William
Green, both leers broken, will die. The
others escaped by swinging to the
cross ties.
Quiet at Honolulu.
San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 9.—The
schooner Bangor arrived last night
fifteen days from Honolulu. Her cap-
tain reports everything quiet at Hon-
olulu, and says it is generally under-
stood there that Minister Willis is
awaiting further instructions from
President Cleveland.
A Kentucky Killing.
Barboursville, Ky., Feb. 8 A
desperate fight occurred at Mount
Pleasant, in Harlan county, Monday
night, in which Will and John Turner
were killed instantly by Dr. William
Nolin, a prominent physician of that
city. The fight began in a barber shop
on the court house square. Dr. Nolin
walked into the shop, and, seeing John
Turner there, told him he would kill
him. Both men began firing1 and
Turner fell dead. Nolin by this
time had exhausted the loads
in his revolver. Will Turner, an
uncle of John, arrived and attacked
Nolin. Neither had revolvers, but
used their knives. They had strug-
gled over considerable ground and
ivhen Turner swooned they were in
the middle of the street. Turner died
instantly. John Turner is a son of
Judge George B. Turner, a prominent
attorney. It was John Turner and
his brothers who led the Turner side
of the famous Howard-Turner feud in
Harlan county a few years since. Will
Howard, the leader of the other side,
was hanged in Missouri the 19th of
last month. This trouble is thought
by many to be a renewal of the old
vendetta.
CONSUMPTION SURELY CONQUERED.
Physicians Everywhere Are Now Curing
This Heretofore Fatal Disease
and the Medical World
is Convinced.
Enthusiastic reports from once hope-
less Consumptives all over the land
make it certain the cure discovered
by a Cincinnati scientist is all that
was claimed for it a year or so ago
when the New York Recorder award-
ed him the diploma and $1000 prize it
had offered for a treatment which
would stay the ravages of Consump-
tion.
Even the most conservative medical
journals now admit the marvelous re-
sults reported by the thirty thousand
physicians prescribing Amick's medi-
cines are not exaggerated.
The Doctor of Hygiene of which Dr.
Cyrus Edson, Chief of the New York
State Board of Health, is the editor,
says in its last issue: "We have de-
layed for something over a year giv-
ing notice to the Amick treatment for
Consumption because as the formula
was not given to the profession, time
alone would demonstrate whether it
merited condemnation or indorse-
ment. With the evidence which
month after month has accumulated
we are obliged to admit the prepon-
derance of testimony favors Dr. Am-
ick's claims and in the face of results
reported from physicians who, if any-
thing, were rather disposed against
the treatment at the beginning, the
claims of the Cincinnati physician
are shown to have been within the
bounds of truth and conservatism.
He has from the first shown an
evidently sincere desire to have cru-
cial and impartial tests made of the
treatment by all physicians and to
this end he still distributes broadcast
free test packages of his medicines,
each of which must represent quite a
little money. All conscientious phy-
sicians admit themselves powerless
to cope with this destroyer of life ex-
cept with the Amick treatment, and
therefore feel bound to give it to
pateints under their care, and the fact
that any person with lung trouble can
obtain sufficient of the medicines to
show just what they will do for each
sufferer without cost proves conclu-
sively that Dr. Amick knows the re-
sults will be favorable.
An Insane Father.
Tell City, Ind., Feb. 13.—William
H. Artman, a farmer living about six
miles northeast, killed his wife and
eldest son yesterday morning. The
family were at breakfast when the
crime was committed. Artman in the
presence of his five children stamped
his wife to death. The eldest boy,
aged 12, tried to defend his mother,
and he suffered the same fate at the
hands of his enraged father. When
taken to the room where the body ol
his wife and son lay Artman was asked
whether he committed the deed, and
answered: "Yes; I killed them both."
The bed clothing and furniture were
scattered about the room, showing
signs of a terrible struggle. Artman
is now in jail and a raving maniac.
Religious excitement is believed tc
have led to the deed.
Horrible if True.
Leamington, Ont., Feb. 13 Joseph
and John Munger and Adolph Jones
are under arrest charged with having
taken part in a wholesale scheme oJ
debauching respectable young girls
of this town. Hilbert Dever, a prom-
inent citizen of 68 years of age, and
others have left town suddenly for the
purpose, it is alleged, of avoiding
arrest. Investigation has disclosed
the fact that Dever, who practices
mesmerism, would intice a dozen or
more school girls to his store, where
they would be supplied with candy,
and instead of going to school they
would visit the Munger's house for
hours at a time. The examination
has divulged disgusting details.
Kx-15auk President Arrested.
Atlantic, la., Feb. 13.—J. C. Yet- j
zer, president of the defunt Cast
County bank, was brought here this
afternoon under arrest from Council j
Bluffs, la. He was taken before Jus-
tice Straight, waived examination and
was bound over to await action by the j
grand jury in :j'5J00 bail. He seems
to have turned over for the benefit oJ,
j creditors $8000 worth of real estate j
j and other property. '
HAWAII ONCE MOKE.
THE RESTORATION OK
QUEEN ABANDONED.
THE
The Silver Seigniorage Coinage Bill,
Having Been amended Slay Pass. The
Tariff Bill Will Be Submitted to the
Full Committee Next Tuesday.
Washington, Feb. 14 The Hawa-
iian resolution was again the subject
for discussion in the senate yesterday.
Senator Gray resumed his argument
in support of the president's policy
and reiterated his charges made on
Monday, that the revolutionists were
dependent on the United States minis-
ter and the United States forces for
support of their movement, and that
thereafter the provisional government
depended absolutely upon the United
^States force and the flag for pro-
jection aryl for the maintenance of
the government they had established.
The full significance of the present
Hawaiian situation came out at the
idose of the senator's speech, when, in
a colloquy with Senator Teller, he ad-
mitted that as a member of the foreign
relations committee; he understood
the efforts of the president, moral or
diplomatic, to restore the queen were
at an end and that the present minis-
ter to Hawaii had no directions to pur-
sue further diplomatic negotiationi to
that end.
Against Free Wool.
Washington, Feb. 13.—In the sen-
ate yesterday a petition, signed by 30,-
000 wool growers of the United States,
owning 6,000,000 or one-seventh of all
the sheep in the United States, pro-
testing against the free wrool clause of
the tariff bill, was presented by Sen-
ator Cullom of Illinois. Among the
petitioners were the Navajo tribe, who
own 1500 sheep and are prospering
by this industry. Senator Cullom said
he hoped the committee on finance
would give this petition due consider-
ation, as it was of an extraordinary
character and represented an exten-
sive industry. Petitions against free
iron ore and free lumber were pre-
sented by Senator Faulkner, and simi-
lar petitions protesting against the
Wilson bill as a whole were presented
by Senators Cockrell and Gallinger.
The Seigniorage Bill.
Washington, Feb. 14.—Bland's bill
providing for the coinage of the
$55,000,000 of silver seignior,
age, stands about this way:
It provides for the coinage of the rest
of the bullion and the issuance of sil-
ver certificates on it. It further pro-
vides that the coin notes issued und^r
the Sherman act for the purpose of
purchasing silver bullion, when re-
deemed in gold, shall be retired and in
their stead silver certificates shall be
issued. Under the bill the currecy of
the country will not be expended
further than the $55,000,000 which
will come from the coinage of the
seigniorage. It is thought that the
bill is now shaped so that it may not
meet with a presidential veto.
Will be Ready Tuesday,
Washington, Feb. 14.—The Demo-
cratic members of the senate com-
mittee on finance now tell the Repub-
lican members that the tariff bill will
certainly be in shape for presentation
to the full committee at the regular
meeting next Tuesday. It had been
hoped that the report could be made
to-day, but when it was found that it
could not the chairman of the finance
committee decided to call no meeting
for to-day.
Cutting the Wilson Bill.
Washington, Feb. 10 There is an
uneasy feeling growing over the prob-
able action of the subcommittee of the
finance committee of the senate which
has charge of the Wilson bill. It is
openly stated by Democrats that the
face of the Wilson bill will be so badly
scratched by the senate that no one
will recognize it. The members of
this subcommittee are Johnson of Ar-
kansas, Vest of Missouri, and Mills of
Texas.
Given a Hearing on Sugar.
Washington, Feb. 13.—The senate
committee engaged on the Wilson bill
was again at work yesterday morning.
The members have made considerable
progress with the bill, but they have
not succeeded in putting it in shape
to permit its being reported to the
senate as soon as had been hoped
would be the case. Senator White of
Louisiana was given a hearing on the
sugar schedule by the sub-committee
yesterday.
Mexican War Pensions.
' Washington. Feb. 14.—Senator
Martin of Kansas has introduced a
bill increasing from $8 to $12 per
month the pensions of Mexican war
veterans and to widows of all soldiers
who served in the Mexican war, and
who are whplly disabled from manual
labor and such destitution that $8
per month is insufficient to provide
the necessities of life.
Clearing the Way.
Washington, Feb. 12. There will
be an effort on the part of the senate
during the present week to clear up
the calendar as far as possible prior
to taking up the tariff bill, which,
when it is reported to the senate, is
expected to exclude the consideration
of most other subjects. The bill to
compel railroads operating roads in
the territories over rights of way
granted by the government to estab-
lish stations at all town sites estab-
lished by the interior department, is
the unfinished business on the cal-
endar, and when it is disposed
of the bill to provide for
additional accommodations for the
government printing office will be
taken up and acted on as soon as
practicable. There will also be a
general effort on the part of senators
to have private bills or bills of minor
general importance taken from the
calendar and passed. It is believed
that the committee on judiciary will
dispose of the Peckham nomination
to-day and if so, in all probability
there will be at least one day during
the week devoted to executive session
for the purpose of passing upon this
nomination.
Representing Whisky Men.'
Washington, Feb. 12. — Senators
Blackburn and Lindsay of Kentucky
were before the senate finance com-
mittee Saturday in the interest of the
whisky distillers of Kentucky. Their
time was devoted almost exclusively
to the extension of the bonded period,,
which the distillers say, in the pres-
ent depressed condition of business,
is absolutely necessary to them.
They represent that there are now
85,000,000 gallons of whisky in
bonded warehouses which must be
taken out under the Wilson bill within
the next three years, much of it with-
in the next year or two. This, even
without the increase of the tax, would
be a hardship, and with the increase
the burden would that much heavier.
Senator Voorhees, chairman of the
finance committee, accompanied the
Kentucky senators on their visit to
the sub-committee, a fact which is
favorable to the extension of the
bonded period. He had previously
been in conference with some of the
representatives of the distilling in-
terests. Senator McPherson was also
closet el with the sub-committee for a
considerable length of time during
the day.
Silver all Day Long.
Washington. Feb. 10.—The house
was busy all day yesterday discussing
Bland's silver bill, which proposes to
coin all the silver bullion in the treas-
ury, There are some of the silver
men who are satisfied with the bill as
it stands, while there are a great
many who say that it is a
bill so bad that it ought not
to become a law. Bland does not
seem to be at all disposed to permit,
much tinkering with it, and most
heatedly stated yesterday on the
floor that he does not want it modified.
He wanted all the bullion coined, and
was not of that character of silver
men who wanted to stop less than
half way in the work, that is, in the
coinage of the seigniorage. However
he may protest, before the bill comes
to a vote there will be dozens of pro-
posed amendments and substitutes
flying in the air, and from appear-
ances, if some of them are not adopt-
ed, the Bland bill will die on the way.
Hatch's Bill Again.
Washington, Feb. 13.—Represent-
ative McMillin, chairman of the ways
and means sub-committee, to whom
the Hatch anti-option bill was re-
ferred, says he will not ask the sub-
committee to consider the bill until
Mr. Hatch has an opportunity to ask
the house to take the bill from the
ways and means committe and refer
it to the committee on agriculture.
Mr. McMillin says there is no desire
on the part of himself or his associ-
ates to hold onto the anti-option bill
and they would be glad to have Mr.
Hatch's committee take charge of it.
This disposes of the reports that
there would be an animated contest
for the control of the bill, for Mr.
McMillin is ready and anxious to sur-
render control. This assures an
early and favorable report.
Free Woolen Manufactures.
Washington, Feb. 10.—Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota says he is
going to test the senate upon one
feature of the tariff bill which he be-
lieves will carry. He intends first to
move for a duty on wool, and if this is
not carried he will offer an amendment
placing wool and woolen manufactures
on the free list. Ho thinks
the latter proposition will carry be-
cause it will probably receive the
support of all the northwestean men
in the Republican party, as well as
all the Populists and many Democrats,
enough at least to carry the amend-
ment through. The South Dakota -
senator said he would like to see pro-
tection for wool, barley, liax and some
Other agricultural products of his/
state. r
i
Vote on Peckham.
Washington, Feb. 13.—The senate
committee on judiciary decided to re-
port the Peckham nomination to the to*
senate without recommendation. Sen- «
ator Hoar was absent and the com-
mittee was divided evenly in its vote.
Senators George, Vilas, Lindsay,
Piatt and Mitchell voted for confirma-
tion and Senators Pugli, Coke, Hj
Teller and Wilson against it.
