PiiTStiUKO Pa Aug 6 Mr. Frick
has resumed his duties as manager of
the Carnegie steel company and his
first net was to wire to Mr Carnegie
who is still in Scotland to that effect
He is looking remarkably well and al-
though it is only 13 days since he was
wounded hts energy and vigor are un-
diminished. Two strips of plaster
cover the bullet holes in his neck but
these are inconspicuous and would at
any other time escape notice Every-
thing is perfectly quiet at Duqucsne
to-day.
Houston 1 ex Aug. 6 The body
nf a man has been found floating in
Buffalo bayou below the International
and Great Northern ra'lway bridge.
The name ot the deceastd is supposed
to be Andress Bornheim of Bornheim
from the fact that a letter was found
him addrefsed to that name and pos-
ted from St. Louis Nov. 27 1890. The
letter head was the D LaVergue refrig-
erating company. A card was found
in one of the pockets bearn g the name
Alfred Charles Zenbrood or Zenbrook
The body was tint of a man of medium
height grej whiskers and well clothed
Fort Worih! Te. Aug 6 The
residence of Chas Dow man St Louis
avenue south side was forcibly en-
tered this evening b two unknown
men whilst Bowman was absent
They had the bad luck however to find
Miss Mary Bowman his sister ready
to receive them. This brave woman
nothing daunted by the threats of the
ruffians secured a revolver and put
them to flight. Thev left some tracks
ol blond in their wake from which it is
hoped that one or bnh of them have
been wounded. Miss Bownnn is able
to give a good description of the men
who drove to the house m a buggy
hired Irotn the Kentucky stables so
that their speedy arrest may be antici-
pated. A RUSSIAV IRVGl.nV.
The officers of the corps ol ;he
Czar's body guard ot huzzars gave a
grand ball at Moscow on the night of
Aug 5th which was abruptly termi-
nated by a terrible tragedy. Prince
Nicolas Susslovitch was waltzing with
the affianced bride ol Lieut. Rattovitch
a brother officer when the latter who
was an onlooker suddenly drew a
revolver and taking deliberate aim at
the prince shot him through the heart.
He tell to the gTound still holding lnr
partner close to him in the last convul-
sions of death. Wjidst this horrible
scene was being enacted the murderer
stepped over the still quivering b dy
and seizing his affianced by the hair
dragged her arid the corpse off the
floor and then blew his own brains out
tn the presence of the crowd of shriek-
ing women and the horror stricken
men. So suddenly had all happened
that there had been no time to prevent
either tragedy The murdered prince
of whom Rattovitch was madly jealous
had previously been warned not to at-
tempt to dance with the lady and
through disregarding this warning met
his death. 'Hie affair has created the
wildest excitement in the Russian upper
circles.
El Paso Tex. Aug. 6- The govern-
ment officials are meeting with con-
siderable difficulty in the matter of
suppressing .pauper immigration from
Mexico into the United States. The
I Rio Grande is very low in placet and
the Mexican pauper is able to walk
across it into this country. When
caught he U led back again gently but
firmly and deposited on his native soil.
The trouble is that he wont stop
there and Immigrant Inspector Malloy
has not enough forces under his com-
mand to waylay and return him every
time. El Paso is full of the persistent
Mexican pauper who is flooding the
market with cheap Labor at the rate
of 25 cents a day
The association of the bachelors of
the world have ju-t given an entertain-
ment to the free and independent or-
der of grass widowers ol this city which
was a brilliant success though some
members the latter may have reason
before Very long to regret their pro-
nounced and publicly expressed ap-
preciation of their temporary emanci-
pation. They paraded the streets in
hacks with a band heading the pro-
cession and a constant stream of fire-
works was discharged from carriages
along the route they took Their ar-
rival at the headquarters of the bache-
lors was a signal for a tremendous
pyrotechnic display.
SULLIVAN AND COKI1E11.
Sullivan is rapidly getting into con-
dition and tipped the beam yesterday
(Aug. 7th) at 207 J lbs. He will protv
ably be able to enter the ring at 205
pounds without any difficulty. The
big man is a constant source of anxiety
to his trainers who have to be on the
look-out constantly to prevent him
kicking over the trices He is a thirsty
soul at all times.particularly when train-
ing and sometimes finds whiskey suits
Ins complaint. This time however
he has been very good and has left the
whiskey severtly alone but was unable
to resist getting on the outside ol a few
buckets ol iced tea o" which he man-
aged to lay in a supply without his
tra ner's knowledge. Corbett has used
up his sparring paitner )im Daly and
lias had to get anuiiier trainer to assist
Daly. The new man is M Yitgh and
there are 235 pounds cf McViegh for
Corbett to punch He will have 4 sets
to a week with McViegh and 3 with
Daly.

together though considerably shaken
up and strained.

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.
THE WORK OF THE LA8T DEMO-
0RATI0 HOUSE.
A Clean Showing of Wise and Eco-
nomical Legislation Despite the
Handicapping of a Repub-
lican Senato Good Laws
That Were Enacted.
..
Representative Bvnum of Indjana
one of the ablest men in congress has
prepared the following statement
regarding the work of the democratic
house:
The record of the first session of the
fifty-second congress will be clostly
canvassed by the press the politicians
and the people from now until the elec-
tion in November. The senate being
republican and the house democratic
the two parties in a measure will
share the credit of whatever legislation
proves beneficial and bear the o-lium
if any of whatever results injuriously.
ITS FCONOMIC RLCORt).
Every efforts to economize in public
expenditures under the appropriations
made during the last congress were
jeered bv the leaders of the minority
ridiculed by the republican press ob-
structed by the senate and denounced
by the heads of the departments and
their subordinates as detiimental to
the puohc service.
A brief review of the appropriations
of the last house .if compared with
those of the present one. notwithstand-
ing the impediments that were thrown
in the way of the latter will at once
convince the public mind that a demo-
cratic administration in the legislative
and executive departments of the gov-
eminent for the next foui years would
prove a national blessing
At the first session 01 the last con-
gress the permanent and regular ap-
propriations amounted to $494 456.-
248 and at the second session they
reached $541223861 The last con-
gress it must be renumbered enacted
laws which fastened upon the present
one expenditures over and above those
required to be made by it at its first
session in the sum of $60000000
These appropriations are required for
foreign mails." "Indian depredation
claims." "sugar bounties" "pensions "
' Pluladelohia Mint " etc. So that ad-
ding thee increased burdens thrown
upon this congress by 'he last one and
which were not borne by it at us first
session tin; appropriations in that ses-
sion would have reached the enorm us
sum of over $554000000. The ap-
propriation lulls as they passed the
house ot the session .just closed
earned about $363733 033 to which
if we add the perm inent appropriations
($121863880) w.juld make $485.-
596913 a practical saving as coin-
p.irtd with the appropriations made 111
the first session of the last congress
had the senate igtced to the house
bills of over $68 000.000
1X1RAS 11V rilli SLNAIK
The house bills however were in-
creased by the senate over $36000000
but in conference these increases were
reduced until excluding the $5000.-
000 for the world's fair the total sum
appropriated was about $381000000
In this rim. it must be borne in mind
is embraced $600000000 forced
upon this and not borne by the last
congress at its first session. Deduct-
ing this sum and the appropriations
for the session just closed would be
near $312000000 for the same pur-
pose for winch the last congress appro-
priated $362.000000 in brief a sav-
ing in expenditures by the first session
ot last congress of over $40000000
The policy ptirtued by the demo-
cratic representatives in the present
congress on the subject of taxation
did not fully meet 'he demands and
expectations 0) tariff reformers. The
sentiment especially in the west and
south favors a more vigorous attack
more extensive reductions. Whether
this would have been thi wiser course
is bevond demonstration. It was evi-
dent even before-congiess met that no
tariff legislation could be enacted and
that whatever measures were proposed
would only more forcibly demonstrate
the position of the democratic party on
the issue.
While the issue is a great national
one "the greatest good to the greatest
number'' being the only solid founda-
tion for (he combined welfare of the
people one must recognize the fact
that a large portion of them have not
yet been sufficiently educated to stand
firmly and unhesitatingly upon this
high elevation. Selfishness is the
prime cause of individual effort and in-
dividual action and to this strong ele-
ment of the human character protec-
tionists have made their appeals 'and
linked their hopes. In view of the
utter hope'essness of accomplishing
practical results it was certainly not
an unwise policy for the house to pre
sent to the senate specific bills which
would arouse a new interest in differ-
ent parts of the country and bring the
people in particular localities ton reali-
zation of the great truth that if they
want relief from the oppressions of
others they must grant 10 them immu-
nity from spoliation.
MUST NOT fcXI'ECTMUCI! FROM NOTHING
The woolen manufactures should
not ask or accept free raw material
without granting a corresponding
benefit to their consumers The iron
and steel maker should not demand
free coal and free ore while claiming
the protection of an ex lusive . market
tor their produce. The wheat growers
of the Dakotas have probablv by this
time learned that to secure free
bind ng twine they mnstsentl senators
to represent their states who are
willing to aid in the relief of the farmers
of other sections as well as their own.
This great truth has been forcibly
brought to their attention and so fol-
lowed by a vigorous campaign will
make a lasting impression.
The house passed bills putting wool
on the free 1 at and mnktng correspond
ing reduction on manufactures; placing
binding twine on the free list silver
and lead ore on the free list and re-
ductnp the duty on tin plate. Not one
of these measures was considered by
the senate. The senate had ample
time to engage in lengthy debates on
resolution but 110 time to consider
and vote upon either one of these short
bills. '1 he people will hive no trouble
in fixing the responsibility lor their
failure to secure any relief whatever
from the most oppresive provision of
the McKmley act
The record of the present house in
the passage of minor measure will not
suffer by comparison with that ot the
last congress. In the last house dil-
Itgtnt efforts were m tde to secure
the consideration of the bill increasing
the pay 01 the employes of the hfe-sav-
ing service. No amount of argument
could induce the speaker of that b)dy
to allow the measure to be considered.
Wlvle he has "puoh-pii hed" the
-cheese paring" of expenditures by
the present congress the house by ao
decided majority passsed the. bill in-
creasing the pay of the men in his-
service over $230000 per annum.
1HBKIOI1T-IIOUR.DW.
During the last congress repeated
efforts were nnde to pass a bill making
the eigbtihour law effective and al-
though the house was organized "to do
business " with power to ticord a
quorum this measure died upon the
calendar It took but 30 minutes for
the hous to tend this measure to the
senate at the session just terminated
and for the first tune since the ipiesticn
was aguated we nuu have an effective
eight-hour law so far as the federal
government could enart one. While
these and man V other bills passed by
the house may not be of universal
inportance their justness to those who
will be directly benefited by them can-
not be questioned.
'HIE GENTLEMAN KROMj MAI.NE.
The "gentleman from Maine" will
no doubt during the cimpaign make
drafts upon his piquant wit and
pungent sarcasm in expressing his
views as to the failure of the house at
its recent session to meet the expecta-
tions and requnements of the country.
Often during the session he assumed the
role of an adviser and would instruct
the majority how they ought to man-
age the business of the house if they
wished to satisfy the people. No
doubt this will be the burden of his
song from now until November While
listening to his advice which is always
freely given I was reminded of a
character that the late lughlyesfeemed
and honored Governor Baker of Indiana
use 10 describe.
The subtVct of this namtive had
been a steamboat captain. He had
started nut an enthusiast early in life
but after sinking three boats and bank
rupnng three companies he found him
self out ol busines and -was unable to
secure further employment. His ardor
however was not the least cooled; hit
confidence in his great ability to run
steamboats was unshaken. Unable to
secure command of another craft. he
spent the balance of his hf sitting 011
the wharf telling others how the busi-
ness ought to be managed
The democratic. houe has made a
record which requires no apology or
defense. Its members can return to
their constituency to coplinuc the war-
fare in favor of a reduction' of taxa-
tion and an honest and economical
administration of public affairs. St.
