+THE NEW ORLEANS BOARD OF
HEALTH ORDERS
."Ifhe Steamship Architect from J.^verpool
Back to the Quarantine Station Until
it is Fully Decided That She Has No
Fever Patients on Board.
, New Orleans, La., Aug. 15 The
steamship Architect, Captain J. K.
Thompson, from Liverpool, via Colen
Belize, Honduras, and Vera Cruz with
■*> cargo of coffee and sugar, afforded
* decided sensation yesterday morn-
ling. without, however, savoring any-
thing like a scare, even though there
.was no attempt on the part of the
Aboard of health to conceal the facts in
the case. The Architect, which is
one of the Harrison line of steamers,
jprriving here last Saturday evening.
«.fter a seven day's detention at
■quarantine station. George Chad wick,
® seamen, was ill when the vessel
reached the health station, but his
case is not occasioning any uneasiness.
The ship was permitted to continue
her way to the city. She was thor-
oughly fumigated while at the station,
•as is tho custom with all vessels com-
ing from infected ports, and nothing
■was anticipated in the nature of a
contagious disease from her. How-
ever, since reaching here Chadwick's
sickness took such a turn that the
board of health ordered an official ex-
amination by experts, consisting of
Drs. Solomon, Kennedy and Lemonier,
who officially reported to the board
that Chadwick's symptoms were
suspicious. The report concludes as
follows: "The case being mild in
■character, and save of the more typi-
cal symptoms of yellow fever being
absent, nevertheless we feel it our
duty to recommend the return of the
vessel with the sick man to quaran-
tine to await further developments."
Immediately on receipt of the report
the vessel was ordered back to quar-
antine with the crew and sick man
aboard, where she will ba detained
according to the quarantine regula-
tions until she is entirely rid of any
contageous disease that she may or
may not have on board. An officer
of the board of health left with the
- 41at 12 m. and will accompany her
"Wwiarantine.
Of the Sugar Trust.
Washington, Aug. 14.—Yesterday
in the house, during the discussion of
the tariff question, Mr. Wilson aroso
and corrected a statement he had
made in the opening to the effect that
$100,000,000 worth of raw sugar had
been purchased by the sugar trust in
anticipation of the passage of the su-
gar schedule of the senate bill. He
had been mistaken he afterward
learned. The trust had purchased
44&.000 tons. "How much is that in
dollars and cents?" called out a mem-
ber. "About $25,000,000," replied
Mr. Wilson. In concluding Mr. Wil-
son said this was not a time for Dem-
ocratic enthusiasm. It was plain
Democratic necessity. Mr. Cochran
(Denj-) said: "I desire to state that
in my humble judgment the measure
which we are now asked to pass is
more obnoxious measure than the
McKinley act, which it is designed to
supplant."
To Kyict Striking Tenants.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 11.—The Pull-
man company has practically decided
to evict its striking tenants for non
payment of rent. The vice-president
(VVickes) of the company said yester-
day that tho new employes must have
houses, and as most of the Pullman
Vwevungs are occupied by strikers
some sort of action will be taken at
once. The announcement created in-
tense excitement, as the men had be-
lieved that the company would not
have to take radical measures. As to
when the evictions will begin Mr.
Wickes refused to say.
Kussia Would Object.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 14.—Consid-
erable excited comment is being made
here in regard to a dispatch from
London stating that it is Great Bri-
tain's intention to propose that the
powers intervene in the affairs of
Corea, with the view of obtaining the
evacuation of that country by China
and Japan and the establishment of
international control. It is stated
here that Russia would not permit
this, and that she would prefer to
allow the war to continue.
Fortalas Bill.
Roswell, N. M., Aug 11.— Portalas

perate fight against Legg. Several
ehots were tired.

I.ife of Advwtnre.
Ovvkssa, Mich., Aug. 13 Eighteen
years ago Jennie Finch, a girl of 10,1
was stolen from her home in Grand
Rapids Mich., by a band gypsies, and
after a fruitless search she wus
mourned as dead. Her mother died
and the family scattered, a brother
and sister moving here. She discov-
ered her relatives here Saturday and
relates some thrilling expciiences.
The leader of the gypsies who stole
her was Bartley Gorman, who was
afterward hung for killing his wife.
He once gave the girl a kick which
nearly caused her death. While she
was in a critical condition from the
wound the gypsy applied the lash.
Her screams were heard by an officer,
who liberated her. She was taken to
the hospital at Quincy, 111., to New
York and to Cincinnati, but she has
never entirely recovered from the in-
jury. Seven years ago she left the
hospital and afterward married a
mason named D'Loe. They now live
in Cincinnati. Last week she visited
Grand Rapids in search of her rela-
tives, whom she feared were dead.
When she found her brother and sis-
ter it was a most happy reunion.
"SUGAR TARIFF BILL"
IS WHAT
MR. HALE
NATES IT.
DENOMI-
Mr. Mills Did Not Want the Journal Read
but Mr. Blanchard Bid—Tariff Bill
Being Enrolled Preparatory to Pre-
senting it to the President.
Washington, Aug. 15.—There was
but a scattering of senators present
yesterday when the vice-president
called the senate to order. Mr. Gor-
man [Dem.] was not in his seat. Mr.
Hill [Dem.] was present, but busied
himself in a newspaper. During the
reading of Monday's journal Mr. Mills
asked unanimous consent that its fur-
ther reading be dispensed with, but
Mr. Blanchard [Dem.] objected and
the reading was resumed. At 12:15
the reading of the journal was con-
cluded, when a messenger from the
house was announced and informed
the senate that the house had
passed the bills placing coal, iron ore,
barbed wire and sugar on the free
list, in which is asked the concur-
rence of the senate. Senators Man-
derson [Rep.] objected to the second
reading, and Mr. Hill gave notice of
amendments repealing all income
taxes. The bills will come up to-day.
Mr. Hale [Rep.] introduced a resolu-
tion for the printing of 5000 copies of
house bill No. 4864, known as the
sugar tariff bill. Mr. Vest protested
against tho title. But Mr. Hale re-
plied that he simply referred to it by
the name by which it would' be known
hereafter, but would not insist upon
that title being printed on the bill.
Mr. Vest questioned Mr. Hale's right
to say what would be the popular des-
ignation of tho bill, and declared it
an outrage on the senate. The reso-
lution went over.
The Omaha Strikers.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 9.—The crisis
arrived last night and if there is no
improvement soon several companies the votes in line for
Tariff Bill Passed.
Washington, Aug. 14 The long
struggle over the tariff bill came to a
close at 6 o'clock yesterday evening
when the house by a vote of 182 to
105 decided to discharge the house
conferees from further consideration
of the bill, receded from its opposi-
tion to the 684 amendments to the
senate and agreed to the same. It
was a complete victory for the senate.
The house made an absolute surren-
der. The result grew directly out of
the sensational course of events at
the senate end of the capitol precipi-
tated by Senator Hill on Friday. Up
to that time the house conferees had
stood firm against the senate amend-
ments and especially on the three
disputed schedules of coal, iron ore
and sugar, and the temper and voice
of the house was for war, war to the
end. But the indications that the
Democrats of the senate might be
unable longer to hold a majority of
even the senate
of militia will be sent to South Omaha
and the packing houses will be placed
under martial law. The situation was
more serious last night as 1000 strik-
ers have been doing about as they
please. Yesterday evening they forced
bill and that the bill was in joepardy
forced the house Democrats to im-
mediate action. The Democratic
conferees of the house at last ad-
mitted that they were beaten and
that another vote could not be risked
their picket line that has for forty- ; in the senate; that it must either be
eight hours surrounded the packing ; the senate bill or no bill. The house
plants under the walls of big build- j will endeavor to pass separate bills
ings, and their number was increased on free sugar, iron ore and coal,
by the addition of several hundred
men. At 8:50 yesterday evening
Mayor Johnson of South Omaha went
before the Omaha polico board and
asked that a detachment of police be
sent there, as he
control the lawless men. The board
was informed that the governor was
in consultation with tho officers with
a view of putting the packing house
district under martial law.
China's Bad Luck*
San Francisco, Aug. 13 Thfe
City of Peking brings news of a great
conflagration which almost amounted
to a national misfortune. Just at
this time when China needs all the
improved arms she can secure it is
very unfortune that the new rifle
factory and steel iron works estab-
lished by the viceroy, Chang Chi
Hung of Hua Kiang at Han Yang,
should be destroyed by incendiary
lire. The loss amounted to $1,000,-
000. The incendiaries are thought
to be coolies who have been severely
punished by the officials in charge of
the works.
Armor Plate Investigation.
Washington, Aug. 11.—The inves-
tigation of the alleged Carnegie armor
plate frauds was resumed yesterday,
was powerless to Captain Sampson, the chief of the
ordnance bureau of the navy depart-
ment, was the witness. The princi-
pal matter of interest was, in his
opinion, the method of treatment of
plans by piecemeal, concerning which
he said that a plate hardened in
one section and softened in another
was not to be depended upon. Capt.
Sampson said a plate could not be
considered uniform if specimens from
different parts varied 20,000 pounds
in tensile strength. In an extreme
case a difference of five or ten
pounds might be permitted.
A Wichita Bank Fails*
Wichita, Ivan., Aug. 14. — The
Wichita national bank, the oldest
banking institution in the southwest,
went into the hands of the comptrol-
ler of currency yesterday morning.
Their last report, made in July,
showed only $26,000 in specie on hand.
It is said the bank holds considerable
bad paper. The county commission-
ers have $14,000 in the bank. The
direct cause of tho suspension is not
given and figures are unobtainable at
present. The president is M. Levy
and cashier C. A. Walker.
All Rescued.
Tenby, Wales, Aug. 14.—It now ap-
pears that the twenty excursionists
were reported to have been
who
drowned by the upsetting of the ex-
cursion steamer were all rescued by
boats from Caldy island. When res-
cued all the excursionists were in an
exhausted condition.
Enrolling the Bill.
Washington, Aug. 15.—President
Cleveland will receive the tariff bill
late to-day or early Thursday unless
some unexpected obstacle is encoun-
tered. It will be carried to him by
Representative Pearson, Ohio, chair-
man of the house committee on en-
rolled bills, who has final charge of
seeing that the bill is rigidly accu-
rate. As soon as the bill passed last
night word was at once sent to the
government printing office to prepare
the final print on parchment.
Split on Hill's Substitute.
Washington, Aug. 10.—The con-
ferees on the immigration bill met
yesterday and adjourned after two
hours of discussion without reaching
any agreement The differences are
wide, as Senator Hill's bill, most of
which relates to the exclusion of an-
archists, bears little resemblance to
the measure introduced by Repre-
sentative >Stone of Pennsylvania for
consular inspection on immigrants
abroad, for which the anti-anarchist
bill is a substitute.
Mover Will Agree.
Washington, Aug. 11 The skies
of tariff legislation are bright no
longer. They are dark with clouds j
that have settled on them. In fact, \
in the mouth of every person you i
meet is the remark: "All chance of ]
an agreement is dead." Senator Hill l
offered a resolution yesterday in- !
structing the senate conferees to re- !
port disagreement, and in explana- j
tion he said: "My object in offering |
THP CORPSE WAS DRY-
Xftm ted Some
Beer and Asked for It
on t\f> Spot.
A few days ago a man died near San
Fernando. Dal., ind his friends de-
cided to hold a wake. The corpse was
stretched cn a bench and covered with
a cloui. ' 'ter the parties had sat
the resolution was" to expedite the dis- j around the uody f<>r a couple of hours
position of the tariff measures. Every
day's delay is injurious to the busi-
ness interests of the country and the
bill should be disposed of at once
one way or the other. It has
now been under consideration
in ' conference committee for
over a month, and further delay »s
absolutely inexcusable. The con-
ferees ought to know each other's
minds by this time; and if they cannot
it occurred to the' a that a bucket of
beer would not be amiss, and one of
the boys went out to get the cheering,
beverage. As soon as he was gone
his friends removed the body to an-
other loom, and one of the wakers,
with awful levity, stre'.chetf himself
on the bench, and assuming the rigid-
ity of a dead man allowed himself tot
be covered with the cloth. At this'
juncture an old lady and an old mariii
agree the fact of such disagreement entered the room for the purpose of
helping to watch the body and proba-
bly also to help drink the beer..
On returning the messenger
placed the foaming stuff onj
the table and proceeded to dip it out
to the crowd. Suddenly the supposed!
corpse raised himself stiffly on the
bench, and said, "Owl ow! owl but I
wantsome o' th&t meself!
This was sufficient to set off the poor
uninitiated fellow who had brought
the beer and he jumped through the
window with an unearthly yell, carry-
ing away him sash and glass in his
hurry. The old man made for the
window at a 1:25 gait and got clear
away. The old lady bolted for the
same place of exit, but fainted near
the window silL while the cold sweat
broke out over her wrinkled brow.
The old man and his wife have since
recovered, but they can not be pre-
vailed upon to attend another wake.
As for the beer carrier, he has not
been heard from since and is believed
to have gone to Arizona
should be reported to the two houses,
when, if no understanding can be
reached upon a bill congress should
promptly adjourn and give the coun-
try a rest. Wo have now been in
session for nearly a year and have
had ample opportunity to legislate.
A senator or member who does not
know exactly what he wants to do on
the tariff after all this time spent in
useless deliberation is unfit to repre-
sent any constituency. We have de*
liberated enough."
Sundry Civil Bill.
Washington, Aug. 13.—The dis-
puted senate amendments of the sun-
dry civil bill were settled by the house
Saturday after a session of animated
debate. One was the proposition t«
give each of the arid lands states one
million acres of surveyed arid lands to
be reclaimed by irrigation, the plan
which the house agreed to after the
irrigation question had been dis-
cussed by many western mem-
bers. The other amendment
was the appropriation of $250,000
to purchase a square owned by ex-
Senator Mahone for a site for the
government printing office and this
was defeated, the house adopting a
plan proposed by Chairman Bankhead
of the committee on public buildings,
to buy additional ground adjoining
the building now in use. This action
leaves still unsettled between the
house and seuate a question which
has caused many disagreements.
DUTY BEFORE DEUICACY.
Saved
The Tariff liill
Washington, Aug.
definite was done regarding the
bill Saturday. Representatives Wilson
and Montgomery of the house confer-!
ees. and Representative Strauss of
New York, had a conference with!
Secretary Gresham at the Arlington
hotel Saturday night, at which the
situation was discussed and careful
consideration given to the proposition
to have the house take the senate bill
in its entirety and subsequently
remedy any defects by passing sepa-
rate bills. Mr. Thurber came over to
the conference with a message from
the president. A report was in per-
sistent circulation that it had been
decided to take the senate bill, but
Representative Strauss, after the con-
ference, said that t.o course had been
decided on, but that the policy to be
pursued was still a matter of specula-
tion.
Senators Tame.
Washington, Aug. 14.—The seat of
the tariff war having been transferred
to the house, the proceedings in the
senate yesterday were comparatively
tame. The report of the conferees on
the sundry civil bill was agreed to
with some modification and the bill
was sent back to conference. A fur-
ther disagreement was had with the
house on the amendment proposed for
the extension of the government
printing office and the senate receded
from its own amendment for the pur-
chase of Mahone lot for the crection
of a new printing office, thus leaving
that building entirely unprovided for.
Postal Changes.
Washington, Aug. 14.—The follow-
ing postoffices have been established
in Texas: I'ussell, Rusk county, R. H. ;
McNeil postmaster; Hix, Burleson
county, Charles Thorpe postmaster;
Silsbee, Hardin county, B. M. Kim-1
brell postmaster. The following1

lodufo. The following postoffice has
been discontinued. Fox, Hunt county;
mail to Fairlee.
How a Philadelphia Officer
Girl's Life.
The other day a Philadelphia pc .ice-
man was torn sadly by a conflic' be-
tween modesty and duty. Ac the
South street bathhouse therj are
"male" and "female" days, and this
day was of the latter sort. The bath-
house was filled with such r.aiads as
Philadelphia can produce Not one
of them was dressed—even in a lace
collar. Now, the floor of the natator-
ium is an inclined plane, and a little
13- Nothing girl tumbled into a place too deep for
tariff her, and was in imminent danger of
drowning. Of course, when such a
crisis came, the ladies could only
wring their hands and scream for
help. The policeman heard that
scream. For an instant he meditated.
Modesty caught him by the coat
tail and shrieked: "Bahl shame!"
and had she been classical would have
spoken of the fate of Actseon. Duty
caught him by the collar, said little,
butgavehima raise up to the bath-
house window, and then, with a coup
de pied, sent him head first in among
the pink beauties, who shrunk, yet
feared to fly. They pointed to the
spot where little Mary Wilson had
sunk "for the third time," and in he
plunged boldly, regardless of all save
virtue and his duty. The child was
saved, and when the life saver looked
up lie saw but retreating forms'and
dripping heads—the latter protruding
from, the former just entering, the
bathing rooms.
LINCOLN FELT LOWLY.
The Kicks Investigation.
Washington, Aug. 13.—Represen-
tative Bailey of Texas says that the
subcommittee of the judiciary com-
mittee, that is to investigate the
charges against Judge Ricks, will go
to Cleveland, O., for that purpose.
The -trip will be made after con-
gress adjourns, unless the present ses-
sion is unduly prolonged, in which
case the subcommittee will make the
investigi'1 «n before the adjournment.
To Investigate Ricks.
Washington, Aug*. 11.—Chairman
Culberson of the house judiciary com-
mittee, yesterday announced Repre-
sentatives Bailey, Lane and Broderick
as the committee to investigate the
charges against Judge Ricks.
And Thought the Country Degenerated
to Call Him.
W. W. Danenhower, the father ofi
Lieut Danenhower of arctic fame,
who died the other day, up to the day
of his death preserved in a little glass-
covered frame a brief note, written to
him by Lincoln on the day of his first
inauguration, March 4, 186L Danen-
hower, who was a close friend of Lin-
coln, had called to see him that morn-
ing, and admittance had been refused
him. The President, hearing of it, in
spite of his many cares, took time to
pen a note of apology, telling his
friend not to think he was "putting
on airs" because he was "in the white
house," and asking him to call again
and he would see that he was admit-
ted. Danenhower, according to the
the Philadelphia Record, was the first
to announce to Lincoln the decision of
the national convention committee of
conference to recommend Lincoln to
the national convention. Lincoln's
look of surprise, he said, was genuine.
He laughed, a deep inward ripple, and,
dropping his hands and removing his
legs from a table before which he was
seated, he arose and paced the room,
saying: "Why, Danenhower, this
shows how political parties are degen-
erating. You and I can remember
when we thought no one was fit for
the Presidency but Henry Clay. Now
you are seriously considering me for
the position. It's absurd."
Paul liourget still lingers in this
country. He is immensely interested
in his studies of American life and en-
joys living here. He is a man of
medium height, with a youthful face,
light hair and eyes and an olive com
plexion. He wears a monocle, which
with his dress and his nonchalant
manner, gives him the air more of an
Englishman than a Parisian. He has
written some articles about this coun-
try, and lie is reported to be nt work
