The Result of Casting Bread Upon the
Waters Willed Him a Splendid Fortune.
New York, July 21.—A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Ilazelton,
Five Democrats Aided the Dlngley BUI to
Pass the House.
■Washington, July 20.—The confer-
ence report on the tariff hill was adopt-
says: John McDonald, a poor coal ed by the house shortly after midnight
miner of Janesville, a suburb of thip
city, Is now thankful that he extended
hospitality to an apparently poor and
ragged relative a few years ago. For
this act of kindness he is destined to
receive by the will of a relative In
Crass Valley, California, $75,000, with
a yearly Income of many thousanls
more.
Arthur McDonald, the deceased rela-
tive, was an early settler in this sec-
tion and in 1853, tiring of the coal re-
gions, went to California, accompanied
by his brother, George, and a half sis-
ter. From the first he prospered, but
all trace of the trio was lost to eastern
relatives. He became interested In
several gold mines and was owner of
the Hudson Bay mine, which was a
bonanza.
Two years ago, Arthur McDonald,
wishing to know whether the relatives
In the east were worthy af sharing his
wealth in the event ot his death, sent
his brother George hither, disguised as
A poor and helpless begga7,
help. JJ* called on John McDonald In
Janesville. Mr. McDonald had a large
family to support and was not bur.
'dened with wealth, but he welcomed
the relative and gave him the best he
had in the house. The uncle left short-
ly afterward, apparently satisfied that
at least one of the relatives was de-
serving of a share in the legacy.
He left for New York city to visit
another nephew, but the reception was
of a different character from that re-
ceived In the coal regions, and he was
told to move on. The result la that the
son has been cut off from the will with
|25. Mr. McDonald received word of
the death of his uncle, with letters and
a copy of the will, the latter being in
the hands of Rev. Fltzmorrls in this
city. The latter was first communicat-
ed with by the bishop of Grass Valley
diocese to establish the Identity of the
Janesville miner, which is now com
plete.
Currency Meitsge.
Washington, July 21.—It Ls seml-of-
fidally announced today that the pres-
ident will withhold his currency mes-
sage until after the conference report
on the tariff bill is adopted by the

thrown Into the senate while the de-

and delay.
by a vote of 189 to 115, and at noon
yesterday the report went to the sen.
ate for action there.
This eclipses all previous records.
The result was accomplished after
twelve hours of continuous debate. But
two speeches were made by the repub-
licans. the principal one being that of
Governor Dingley. The democrats
were forced to put forth speaker after
speaker, but their bombardment of
the republican position whs unan-
swered.
The sugar schedule was the main
point of asault, but the most Interesting
feature of the debate occurred when
Mr. Bailey and Mr. McMillln, the two
rival democratic’ leaders, crossed
swords oil the question of orthodoxy of
the free raw mater.il doctrine, the for.
mer opposing and the latter champion-
ing it.
The galleries were crowded up to
the time the vote was taken. Every
repiiolifran ill the house who present
voted for the report.

ers and each member was assessed $2
