In New Bedford tbe board believes
that tbe same state of affairs exists.
Tbe board cannot take any astion in

Lancaster's Representative Poetically
views tbe Tariff Features.
A REMARKABLE FLOOD OF RHYME
No Less Than Twenty-three Poetical
Descriptions of the Situation and
the Shortcomings of the Bourbon
Majority Are Given Various Dia
lects and Metres Are Employed to
Produce the Best Effects Results
of the Big Storm, After James
Whitcomb Riley.
Washington, Aug. 23.
MOST remarkable contribution to
the tariff literature appears ia
the Congressional Record today.
It is a speech by Representative
Marriot Brosius. of Pennsylvania,
printed nnder tbe general list given in
tbe rale by which the bouse of repre
sentatives last week concurred in the
senate amendment to the bill. The
key note of the production is given in
tbe quotation from Fletcher, with
which tbe matter is introduced) "Let
me write the ballads of a nation and I
ears not who mokes tbeir laws."
After a brief dissertation in tbe
usual manner nnon Demoeratio defi
ciencies, Mr. Brosius saysi "I shall not
set before our nnregenerate brethren
their sins of omission and commission
In the scarlet livery of tbeir real turpi
tude, bnt I shall let tbe matters be es
tablished by witnesses of well approved
character for tenderness and mercy. I
shall summon tbe muses, who each in
bar own peculiar field, yet all with
uniform consent and true poetic order,
have volunteered to transmit the mani
fold delinquiaeies which shall engage
tbeir pens to eoming generations on
wings of immortal song."
Beginning tben with tbe uuatrain
from tbe "Blgelow papers.'
'That a merciful providence fashioned us
hollow
O' purpose tbat we might our principles
swallow.
Tbe belly can hold a great many of them,
it can,
And bring them up ready for use like a
pelican."
TWENTY-THREE SONQ8.
Mr. Brosius indulged in no less than
twenty-eight rhyming, if not poetioal,
descriptions of tbe shortcomings of the
majority. Some of tbese are parodies
of well known airs or lines, ''The Old
Oaken Bucket" being tbe pattern for a
few of them, and they are dressed in
German, Irish and street gamin dia
leota. The aerostis is also invoked,
the more satisfactorily to express the
orator's opinion of tbe attitude of tbe
Demoeratio administration toward tne
policy of protection. The last effusion
bas a "stair case" refrain, after tbe
fashion of James Whitcomb Kiley.
The "Doem" elves Mr. Brosius' views
of the results of tbe "big storm" next
November and oloses with the words:
Now the soutb Is in the saddle and the
Bourbons rale the roost,
With their outfit of free traders, cranks
and Coxevites to boost.
As they strive to topple over thrift's fair
temple in a day,
Apd sit on northern progress in tbe trno
old sonthern wav.
Bnt tbe voters will be heard from ere this
dnvll'n work Is done
With an avalanche of ballots tbat will
startle Washington.
November's blasts will chill their souls,
from congressmen to bums,
And they'll hustle for their cellars
When tbe
Bin

Comes,

Chicago. 'Aug. 23 Several of the
witnesses examined by tbe strike com
mission today gave testimony more
favorable t) the Pullman company

agent, said he considered tbe Pullman
bouses at $18 nd $30 a month really
cheaper tbau $13 a month booses in
snrrouuding towns. Tbe Pollman
dwellings were well equipped and
finely located, he said, and rents were
not, in bis opinion, too nign. in repiy
to a auerv of Commissioner Wright,
Mr. Glover denied that he was in any
way conneoted with the Fullman com
panv.
Paul E. Herma, a newsdealer, who
formerly worked In the tollman shops.
said he did not 'place much faith in tbe
complaints of tbe men. Tbeir trouble,
he thoneht. was largely due to a fond
ness '.for ber.i All the saloonkeepers
in the surrounding towns bad grown

MUKDEB WILL OUT.
Prominent Eansaa Cltlzina Arrested for
Killing- Two Cattle Sealer.
Sedan. Kan.. Ang. 23 After a lapse
of four years the cowardly murderers
of Johnny Frnzer, a cattle dealer of
this connty, have been captured. They
are all prominent farmer or business
men living in this vicinity and tbe
news of tbeir arrest has canst-d a sensa
tion. Tbeir names are Theodore F.
Cox, Mare McB-e, William Lycker, J.
h. and Elmer Cox. Theodore Cox is a
blacksmith of Howard, Kan. : McBee Is
a druggist in tbe same towm John Cox
is a brother of Theodore, a hardware
merchant at Moline, Kan.; Elmer, an
other brother, is a prominent citizen at
Clinton.
The crime with which the men are
charged was one of the most cold
blooded ever committed in Kansas. In
1800 Gibson and J. S. Frazer were part
ners in an extensive cattle business in
Cbantauqua. They imported 1,400 bead
of Texas steers, to which neighbor
raisers objected, fearing they would
epread Texas fever. Gibson and Fraz-r
refused to remove the eattle, however,
and in consequence were threatened
with death. They paid no heed to tbe
threats, but in May of tbat year Gib
son was found dead In a hotel at Mo
line. In June Frazer was missed, and
after a long search bis body, covered
with knife outs, was found in a neigh
boring stream,
A BUIEF SESSION
The Senate Has Much Difficulty in
Securing a Quorum and Ad
journs Early.
Washington, Aug. 23. Tbe session
of tbe senate today lasted only an
hour and three-quarters, most of that
time being spent m waiting lor the
appearanoe of a quorum. Ihe
lack of that article bad been
called to the attention- of the
vice president soon after tbe
hour of meeting and when tbe roll of
senators called it was found tbat only
thirty-two hud responded. Tbe ser
geant at arms was thereupon directed
to request the attendance of absent
senators, and after waiting more than
an bonr it was reported by the clerk to
tbe vice nresideat and by tbe vice
president to tbe senate tbat forty-three
senators, exactly a quorum, baa an
swered to tbeir names. Of these thirty-one
were Demoorats, ten Kepubll
cans and two Populists.
Apparently satisfied with tbe result
of the attempt to compel senators to
attend to tbeir public dutios, and hav
ing telegraphed to tbe absentees within
reacb of Waabington to be in the sen
ate chamber tomorrow, the leaders on
the Demoeratio side resolved upon pro
ceeding to tbe consideration of execu
tive business, and after tbe briefest of
executive sessions tbe senate ad jour nod
nntil tomorrow.
ALLOWED A RATTLER TO BITE.
Professor Beyer' Hazardous Experiment
in Behalf of Soienee.
New Orleans, Ang, 23 Professor
George Beyer, curator of Tulane Uni
versity museum in this city, on Mou
day allowed himself to be bitten by a
rattler in order to determine if a person
can be inooulated and rendered proof
against the venom of serpents. From
bis large collection ol snakes be select
d a yonng rattler that had been
eanght a few days ago. He teased the
snake nntil It was angry, then held out
his hand in inch a position that the
rattler struck bis little finger. The
professor did not use any antidote, and
awaited developments. In the course
of a few .hours tbe finger became swol
len to twioe its normal size.
Tbe professor said that during the
week be would allow himself to be
bitten again. He does not think tbe
bite will prove fatal because a yonng
snake cannot emit as much poisen aa
an old one. Tbe sensation was very
much like tbe sting of a bee, but tbe
pain was intense. Professor Beyer's
object in experimenting is to prove
tbat by tbe gradual absorption of
snake's vemon tbe svstem will become
inoculated, and a person in tbat condi
tion can be bitten without the result
liroving fatal. Professor Beyer thinks
his experiment will be sucsessful.
