Washington, April 0, 1894. The result of the first week's debate on the tariff bill in. the Senate is not encour aging to those who wish for speedy ac tion on the bill, and Senators Hill, Murphy, Brice and Irby, who, inten tionally or unintentionally, aided the republicans in. their efforts to delay the debate, have been sharply criti cised by democrats. Senator Hill's speech today has also brought addi tional democratic criticism upon his head. It was, of course, expected that the republicans would resort to filli bustering when the democrats began to take steps to bring the debate to a close, but to the surprise of everybody they began lillibustering for delay al most at the very beginning of the de bate, and it is clear that they intend to keep it up to the cul. Senator Harris, who has charge 4f the bill, nroto;-es to force a show of hands this sittings of a. a Tfpak. bv asking that the 7 w . ihi Senate be prolonged two hours a day and that the taritT bill be taken up earlier each day. lie intends to put the Senators on record in order that the country may see who are in favor of 'pushing the debate, to a con clusion and who are the obstructors, and he doesn't believe that when the issue is squarely raised any democrats -will be found in the letter class. Hon. Patrick Walsh, the new Sena tor from Georgia, met with a cordial reception from his future colleagues, most of whom have long been his per sonal friends. Senator McLaurin doesn't fancy the idea of being confounded with Repre sentative McLaurin, of South Caroli na, who has been talking of leaving the democratic party to form a silver party in the south and west. The Senator is opposed any such move ment. To use his own words: "I am a silver man, but I believe in the mis sion and the success of the democratic party, and I think that we can settle these disputed questions within our nartv organization." That's about I . the was most ot the silver democrats feel ebout it, tool j Tne largest number of democratic signatures ever attached to a request for a call to be issued for a caucus were on that addressed to Mr. Hol mau, chairman of the caucus, asking that a caucus be held Tuesday of this week to decide what should be the policy of the party in the House to wards that plank of the National plat form which declared that the tax on state bank currency should be re pealed. Representative Swanson, of Virginia, circulated the request for a caucus1, as a result of his making a personal poll of the democrats in the House on the question of the repeal of the tax. He found that nine tenths of the democrats favored re peal, but all except 129 of them insist that it shall '-be accompanied with more or less Federal control over the currency to be issued by the state banks. The House committee on Banking and Currency pigeon-holed the question some time ago because of failure to agree on a bill. The whole matter will be talked over at the cau cus and will, it is hoped, be definitely settled one way or the other, although the present understanding is that the caucus is not to take action that will be considered binding upon those who attend it.. Somebody, probably from pure vici ousness, started a story a few days ago that Senators Hill and Murphy, would antagonize the nomination of Mr. Benedict to be Public Printer. They -will do nothing of the sort. Senator Hill said a week ago that he was glad so good a democrat as Mr. Benedict had been selected for the place and that he expected him to be confirmed without opposition. Hcnator Murphy has also expressed himself as pleased with the nomination. Mr. Benedict arrived u Washington today and lie exnot to be continued, submit his bond and be sworn in a. Public Printer before the 15th of the month. Ex-Speaker Reed capped the climax for absurd and needless lilHbusterhig on Saturday when he prevented the carrying out of a special 'Order setting apart that day for eulogies on the late Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, by fore an adjournment bv raising the point of no quorum on a motion to discharge the warrant issued by the Sargeant at Arms to arrest absentees during the time the contested election eases, set tled last Vek, were pending. All of the blame tins fctate of aflairs does not. however, belong to Reed and the re publicans. There are 218 democrats in the House, and if 1T9 of them would remain constantly in their seats Reed and his obedient gang would be pow erless to stop the wheels of legislation in their efforts to compel the speaker to count a quorum, as they have tried so often to do of late. Coxey's army had better take warning from the treatment that is being meted out by the Washington authorities to the advance guard of the western wing of his army, which ar rived here Saturday night. There were forty odd of them. They were met by a detachment of police, marched off and locked up. Representative Meyer, of Louisiana, has introduced a bill for the coinage of the seigniorage, which meets the ob jection raised in the President's veto and also adopts his suggestion of pro viding for an issue of bonds. But somehow the bill isn't popular.. Laktr Rit in Pennsylvania Jlurdtr Organ ized by Strikara. Pittsburg, Pa., April 4. A Times says: special from Uniontown, "Chief Engineer Joseph H of the H. C. Frick Coke was brutally murdered by 'a. . Paddock, Company, 200 riotous Hungarians at the Davidson coke works at Connellsville about 3 o'clock this afternoon. ' The murderers were pursued by a sheriff's posse. One of the fleeing Hungarians was shot and instantly killed. Two others were fatally wounded. The other workmen in the region who refused to join in the jmob were assaulted and fatally hurt. They were carried away by their associates. Ninety-four of the rioters have already been arrested and are now in jail here, charged with murder. Paddock attempted to escape by running through the infuriated crowd. Stones and clubs were hurled at him. Twice he was knocked down, but with superhuman effort he regained his feet. Finally he was knocked down by a heavy stone thrown by one of the mob. He fell senseless. i Then, while he lay there dead, one of the mob fired a bullet into his -head. His body was then carried to a window in the tipple building, and was thrown about forty feet to the burning ovens below. Then the mob disappeared over the hill in the direction of Brad ford. 1'addocK. was tnirty-nve years old. His murder occurred within sight of his home. TKJf MORE STRIKERS KILLED The raiders Ieit Bradford and pro ceeded to Leith. The houses of the foreign element were besieged to get the men to accompany the strikers on their raid, but all the doors were locked and some nailed tightly. When the Leith men failed to come out the doors were broken in and the men dragged out by the heels. They were forced to fall into line and march on south with the strikers. At all the plants the workmen were told that they would be beaten within an inch of their lives if they again returned to work. Late reports from Bradford say that ten Hungarians were killed to-night, or fatally injured, by the deputies and citizens who were pursuing them for the murder of Chief Engineer Pad dock. A sensational rumor was re ceived here at 11 o'clock to-night to the effect that the clerks, company officials, and deputies m the offices of Frick and lfcClure companies are be- seiged by a mob of 1,500 strikers, and that the rioters are making menaceing demonstrations. A telephone message iro-Ai ine conirany siore partly con firms the-f uilior. Tonight a do?eii different bands of tba outla ws are camping on their arms throughout the legion, and to-morrow's work promises to be mors deadly than was today. Every plant in the region south of the Leith work wr.i visited by a baud of aixnit o'0 early this morning, and the -men 'at1 wcik were cympolled to quit. It was stated so e weeks ago thai the Midway, Ky., Presbyterian ehr.n-n had contributed $400 to the ruined for.the purpose of sending Rev. John W. Moore, of Huntersville. back to Japan us a missionary. The 0-mtv-er learns through Rev. J. C. MeMuI len, of Midway, that the amount was even more than $4C0. The Midway church promised to support Mr. Moon, No amount v.cs statd. The; church expects to pay Mr. Moore the full sd ary of a mis.- ioruiry to Japan. riinnMta 3paaks Out. St. Paul, Minn., April 8, .1894. The most sensational political ad dress of the year was that issued by the Minnesota Democratic Association to-day to the rank and file of the party in Minnesota. After deprecating the fact that the free list in the Wilson Tariff bill is not so large as demanded by the Chicago platform of 1892, the address says: "Who are the men, democrats in name, protectionists in fact, who have thus brought dishonor and shame on our great party? Who are they who have betrayed the great loyal host who gave them the power thus to deliver us into the hands of the enemy? Who are they who have thus made certain the apprehensions of our Pres ident, expressed in his inaugural, and given to his thought the effect of a prophecy, when he said: 44 'Even if insuperable obstacles and opposition prevent the consummation of our task, we shall hardly be excused, and if failure can be traced to our fault or neglect we may be sure the people will hold us to a swift and ex acting responsibility. DENOUNCED AS TRAITORS. "Who are these men who have inter posed 'insuparable obstacles and oppo sition, and made a failure, but to our fault and neglect? These are the men names fit to stand alongside of Bene dict Arnold in the annals of our coun try: ' "Senatora Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio; David B. Hill and Edward Murphy, Jr., of New York; JohnB. McPhearson and James Smith, Jr., of New Jersey; Arthur P Gorman and Charles S. Gib son, of Maryland; Johnson N. Camden, of West Virginia; Donelson Caffray and Edward D. -White, of Louisiana, and John T. Morgan and James L. Pugh, of Alabama, "These are the men who wear the mask of democrats that they may the better betray our cause. These are they who have wrought this marvel ous change, putting our party in the attitude of defeat and giving to our opponents that of victory. "But democrats, be not discouraged nor disheartened. The heart of the great mas of our party beats as true as ever. Remember that every great cause has had its traitors, every great struggle for greater freedom has had its checks from the treachery of men whom it has trusted, and be strength ened for the greater struggle before us by the inspiring thought that in the struggles of the masses for freedom against privileged intrencned power the right has ever come uppermost. CHAGRINED BUT NOT DISMAYED. "Reflect that all freedom we have here today we enjoy because our an rastors have risen from defeats, have survived the treachery of comrades, and through all have 'kept their rudder true,1 and let the thought nerve you to further effort that you may give your children an increased measure of liberty. "A few traitors in the councils can not defeat the cause for which we have foucrht for vears. and in which we won the victory of 1892. Chagrined, we are not dismayed; betrayed, we are not disheartened; checked, we will not surrender. "Nowhere let there be flagging or faltering. Everywhere let democrats determine and proclaim that this 'free dom's battle, once begun,1 shall not end until every citizen of our republic shall be secured the untrammelled right to buy what he will, where he will, and of whom he will, exchanging without hinderance the products of his labor for those of his fellow labor ers anywhere in the wide world.

The Discoverer of the Aliened Elixir ! Life Die Like the Rest of Men. Paris, April 2. Dr. Charles Edward Brown-Sequard, the famous physi cian died here last evening of conges tion of the brain. He was born in Mauritius in 1817. His father was born in Pbilapelphia and a native ot France. He devoted the most of his time after his graduation as a physician in 1840, to an extended series of experimental investigations on important physiological topics. He visited the United States many times, delivering short courses of lectures and instructing private classes of physi cians in his discoveries. He went to London in 1860 and lived there until 1864, when he came to the United States and was appointed pro fessor of physiology and pathology of the nervous system at Harvard Uni versity. He returned to France in 18G9, and was appointed professor in the Lcole de Paris. He founded in Paris, with Drs. Charcot and Vulpian, the Archive de Physlogie Normale et Pathologique, of which he became the sole editor. He received several prizes from the French Academy of Sciences, of which he was a member, and in 1877 was elected to the chair of medicine at the College de France. In 1881 he was awarded the Baly medal by the Royal College of Physicians of London. He claimed to have discovered a re- juvinating elixir which would restore to its normal condition the exhausted vitality of man. His discovery created a great furor in the medical world, and was the subject of exhaustive dis cussion in the press. The elixir was obtained from live animals, or those recently killed, and was administered 1jy subcutaneous injections, in io'Ju he explained his discovery and its application. in an elaborate paper. He was in his 73d year when he be gan his remarkable experiments. He had a theoretical notion that from the dog and guinea pig could be obtained a fluid whieh would cure disease and restore vitality to wornout bodies. Being convinced that the elixir was at least harmless, he decided to try its merits on himself. " After collecting a sufficient quanti ty of the elixir he began experiment ing upon himself on May 15, 1889, and continued to work for about three weeks. He had previously tested the same fluid upon a dog by giving it twenty subcutaneous injections of the fluid without harm to the animal. The result was marvelous. After the experiment he maintained that the elixir of life had rejuvenated his physi cal system, and the blood poured through his body with all the freshness of youth. The dynamometer indicated that the strength in his arms was as great an it had been fifty years before. His in tellectual power and facility for work, which had been greatly diuiinixhed with advancing age, was restord to the condition of the prime of life. All functions which depended, uimmi the spinal cord and nervous centre .were notably and rapidly strengthened by the vitalized principles fro.;i t;c dug and guinea pig. This disco verv was hr.iled v. Zvl'zki evervwherc. and in this csr. :.t;-y e T.I T - neriments were tried for wt-ek in all c the hospitals with the elixir, and ome verv marvelous cures were reiHiiied, but, after several months of careful experiments, the doctors made up their minds that Dr. Brown Sequared had the ribt idea, but did not have the right elixir.

Washington Gazette. Ljttle Rhedy Heard From. Providence, R. I., April 4. -Prac tically complete returns show that Brown (Republican) for Governor will be ejected by fully 4,500 plurality. It has been a Republican landslide and the Democratic rout is complete. The entire Republican State ticket is elected and the Legislature is over whelmingly Republican. Last year the Democrats controlled the House, having forty representatives. This year they will have but four. The former Democratic cities of Providence, Newport, Pawtucket and Woonsocket have gone Republican. The vote so far as, received, is: Brown, 20, 302; Brown, 20,761. " The Prohibition vote was much less than last year. The complexion of the Legislature insures the election of ex Go v. George Peabody Wetmore to succeed Senator Dixon in the United States Senate. The Democrats are dumfounded and the Republicans feel as if it were too great a success' to be true. The Best Policy. Sueh editors as Mr. Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer, the editor of the Hickory Press isd Carolina, and oi hers, have thought it wise and pru dent to confine the canvass in North Carolina this year, so far as it is possible to iio to, to State issues. The candidates for the Federal Congress might discuss national issues as their field of action would be in Washington. The Messen ger, we believe, was the first paper to suggest this plan as best and safest. We are sure that none of those favoring such a plan has any axe to grind. They are 000.114 to the best interests of the patriotic,' North Carolina suggestion has vi.ited great pain upon some of the very young editors.
