A Wonderful Structure.
One of the most marvelous bridges
in the world is planned to cross the
Tennessee river at Knoxville. It will
be built of pink marble quarried in the
neighborhood, and will cross the river
with four great arches of 240 feet span, |
the longest arch in the world by twen-
ty feet. At the channel span it will
rise to 105 feet above the water.
Washington, May 2.—The debat e in
the senate yesterday was of a dramatic
and sensational character, recalling
the famous Ingalls-Voorhees contest of
some years ago. Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, again brought his
unique personality into the debate, his
speech being the first of any length
since his memorable maiden effort at-
tacking public officials, high and low.
While he spoke yesterday the silver
pitchfork recently presented him in
the west was conspicuously displayed
on his scarf. The senator used the
blunt words characteristic of his ut-
terances, arraigning the president and
cabinet officers wi:h unsparing criti-
cism and personal invective. He also
addressed himself personally to Mr.
Hill and Mr. Sherman, and drew from
the former several sharp rejoinders,
while Mr. Sherman declined to be
brought into a controversy with the
South Carolina senator. Mr. Hill fol-
lowed Mr. Tillman, answering the lat-
ter point by point. The New York
senator referred to the coming Demo-
era 1c national convenition, declaring
that there would be no split, but that
true Democracy would recognize the
rule of the majority and keep the
party intact, despite the threats of the
South Carolina senator to leave the
party.

International Dam Commission.
Washington, May 2.—The secretary
of war has ordered Capt. George McC.
Derby’s coprs of engineers to report by
letter to the secretary cf state, and to
Col. Anson Mills, third cavalry com-
massioner of the United States on the
international boundary commission, to
make such surveys and reports and to
give such cnsultations and profes-
sional advice as the United tSates com-
missioner may require in the consid-
eraticn of questions pretaining to the
use of the waters at the Rio Grande
and the prospect of an international
dam at El Paso. Oapt. Derby will per-
form these duties in addition to those
with which he is now charged.

Mr. Hill spoke freely and frankly of

regarded it, of Secretary Carlisle in
not supporting Blackburn, when the

cratic caucus. The senator discussed

How Did It Happen!
The skeleton of a federal soldier has
been found in a hollow tree near the
battle field of Seven Pines, Va. It is
supposed that he crawled into the tree
through fear of bullets, and was un-
able to get out. The opening in the
tree is much too small for a man to
get in or out.
Is Better Now.
A piece of knife blade was taken
from the head of Myron Jordan, at
Joliet, 111., the other day. He was
stabbed in the head four years ago,
and has suffered great pain and been
out of his mind ever since.

Nasr-ed-Din, shah cf Persia, was
born April 24, 1829, and succeeded to

The expedition will set out from this
city June 10. The first move toward
getting up the expediton was made by
Prof. B achford Dean of the zoologi-
cal department, who will have charge
of it. He said:
“I believe the expedition will be of
immense value to science. The oldest
and strongest forms of life are to be
found in the waters there, and on the
land also. There are fish there abso- l
lately unknown. We shall also have
a botanist along so that nioithing in the
counitry may be missed, and equal care (
will be exercised for the liberal fauna. [
We intend also to have an eye on the
fisheries there.” ,
Three zoologists will accompany the
party and one botanist, Prof. Britton.
Prof. N. Harrington and A. J. Grant
win also be of the party.
Kearby-Abbott Contest.

as to hear the report made by Mr. ,
Bell, who was on the sub-committee. ■
He was reading his report to the main
committee when the hour for adjourn- l
merit came. The other members of
the sub-committee, who were sup- ,
posed to be ready to make a minority |
report against the retention of the.
seat by Abbott, did not make any re- .
pert, and from what can be gathered
they will nd make any. At least that
is the opinion of the members of the

ty report of the committee in favor of
