Their conveyance, we don't like to mention, but the vehicle was the big red wagon of one of our popular liverymen, and the driver well, when he is out on a tour like that, he is one among the youngest of our young men, jfcieme mmseit. Alter tnese young people tired of the various kinds of amusements, Mr. Gilmore suggested to the young ladies that they could jary the exercises by proceeding to the pump reservoir, which was well filled with water, to which was attached a hose, and when Mr. Parmele came up to join tnem, they should turn the hose on him and give him a complete ducking. But Elemo was not asleep, so he caught on to the scheme, and also caught the ears of the young ladies, and succeeded in persuading them that it was Uncle Joe who needed the bath, and consequently they turned the hose on him, and it was only by the most heroic efforts of Mr. Parmele that they could be induced to desist after nearly drowning their victim. When Uncle Joe comes to knowElemeas well as the writer does, he will quit try ing to practice any pranks on him, for he never comes out Becond best. After all, these young people report a most enjoyable dey out. 1 ILICKYIMBER Three Men Buried in a Wrecked Building's Ruins.

The members of the St. Paul delegation made good rfogr'' in the investigation of the cen sus matter.

But the committee has al-n-ady gone far enough to thoroughly discredit the; map. a??d this does away with all cha !." of general or permeat ing fraud -. if I'r-mds or irregularities aro loun t in (:..? tion.il districts the f-id will frankly acknowledged, say the committee, and a recount of those districts cheerfully aquiesced in. But thev Indiovo that in l'Ji cut of the I'M districts of the ci'.y, the count is above suspicion, and that this showing affords no reason for a general recount, with its attached slignia of premeditated fraud. Tho connuittee will present their case to Secretary Noble in a few" days and feel confident that the facts shown will warrant a radical modifica tion of his previous action.

Senator idi:,:y.-'z. vovf.l with the Democrat.; -Je.'i'.tor Plumb did not vote. Tho nest question was on paragraph 100, relating to china, porcelain and crockery ware, the finance committee recommending a reduction of the rates in tha house bill from 6i to 5 per cent, on the decorated articles and from ."') to ",) on plain white and undecorated ware, t wo members of the finance committee Messrs. Sherman and Hiscock ex-;:-ls :;-d their opposition to the senate u.t -admenis. Mr. Batler moved to amend the para graph by a change of classification and oy v. reduction of rates. Senator Allison supported the com mittee amendments. It was true, as stated by Senator Sherman, that the c rockery industry in the United States had had in a few years a most remark able development. It had somewhat changed its locality, its center ?now being in the state of Ohio. He was will ing to allow reasonable and fair protec tion to the people engaged in that in dustry, as in all other induntries, but the finance committee believed, and he bilived, that the effect of the adminis trative bill and of a provision not to al low for breakages, had been to increase the duty beyond the 5 per cant, reduc tion proposed. Senator Vest moved to make the rates 4-3 and 40 per cent, respectively and spoke in support of that motion. Senator McPhersou said he was will ing to vote for 50 and 45 per cent, re spectively, Mr. Vance made a speech in which be declared that the whole earthenware section was a disgnico to jople who claimed to be tinctured with a sn.se of humanity. It made a discrimination in favor of the rich and against tha poor. Senator Plumb made a bitter attack on the senate bill, particularly on the schedule under discussion. The whole tendency of civilization, he said, was to ward a reduction of prices of all prod uct of human labor. To claim that tho tariff had been the sole or the main factor in the reduction of priced or man ufactured goods was to ignore the forces of civilization. But as fast as the point was reached where lower prices might be expected, the manufacturers came to congress demanding more duties where by the prices might be stopped. The tax on china wa3 per capita tax, because china was used oh tbe tables of the rich ar.d poor alike. He said he spoke as he did, not with any hope of infinencing the fate of the bill, because is passage was i foregone conclusion. The cohorts of protection were organized and intended w "bolt" the bill through tin s-jnate as it had l.-e3ii bolted through the iiou?o. The manufacturers, he said, ha 1 always had what they wanted. Tney hd the present law passed by a Republican congress on the report of a Republican tariff commission designed to be help ful to them, and now they are not sat isfied, but were asking that another bill for their benefit be put through. He charged that the pottery men of Ohio had entered into an agreement with the importers by which they were to divide the market. When struc tural beams were needed for the state bouse at Ttpeka, and for the Texag state Louse, the American manufacturers refused to supply them at a fair rate, and the contractor had to import them, paying a duty of 103 per cent. He thought the senate owed something to the American people as well as to the manufacturers. The Democrats should have their full share of tJie responsibility, he said, because in the house, instead of trying to correct the iniquities of the McKinley bill7 they had sought to evade the responsibility of their votes. It was a continual fight for political and. personal advantage, and between the two the loyal Ameri can people were being crushed and ground. Mr. Sherman replied to Mr. Plumb. He spoke of the development of the crockery industry, and said that it should be accorded every reasonable de mand. Strange to say, the price of china ware is less than the duty paid ten yeara ago. The bill went over without a vote, Mr. Vest having modified his amend ment so as to make it provide for a rate of 60 per cent, on decorated and 40 per cent, on plain china. The senate adopted a resolution of Mr. Sawyer, calling on the attorney general for information about the awards mad under the Fox and Wis consin river improvement act. The sen ate then, at 6 p. m., adjourned. House. The house continued consideration of the snndry civil bill. The previous question was ordered on the Maryland Point light house amendment yead, 103; nays, 64. On non-concurring in the senate amejidment. no quorum oiea. a motion to aajourn was maae and voted down, and a call of the house was ordered. This disclosed no quorum and further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. The remainder of the afternoon was consumed in a vain attempt to secure the presence of a quorum, but without disposing of the bill the house at 5:30 took a resess un til 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension business.
