Mr. Sherman presented a joint resolution passed by the Ohio legislature relating to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the victory of General Anthony Wayne at Fallen Timber , August 7 , 1794 , which marked the conquest of the Indian nation. It waa appropriately referred. After some bills of local Interest had been passed , the tariff bill was laid before the Eonato. The consideration of the * free list was resumed , the pending question being Mr. Peffor's amendment to strike salt from the free list and place It on the dutiable list at 5 cents per 100 pounds. The present duty on salt is 8 cents. Mr. Potter explained that personally he favored free salt , but that his constltutenU Inter * estod In salt manufactures believed they would be Injuriously affected by placing salt on the free Hat.

Allen retorted that his vote and action was none of Mr. Chandler's business. Mr. Chandler said he proposed to make It his business. Mr. Allen subsequently obtaln-.d the floor and replied to Mr. Chandler's re marks. He claimed that he ( Allen ) was not to be deterred from his purpose by a senator who put himself In the attitude of a baboon on every possible occasion. The senate by a party vote has decided to .put logs and lumber , Including dressed lumber , on the free list. The free list was completed at 1:30. At 3 o'clock the senate was considering section 9 of the hill relating to changes In customs regulations. When section 23 Is reached Mr. Jones will move to strike out from sections 23 to 50 Inclusive , being the portion of the administrative features ot the bill which it has been agreed to leave out. Mr. Peffer gave notice of his Intention to offer an amendment to graduate the In come tax so as to make Incomes In" excess of $1.000 and below $10,000 subject to a tax of 1 per cent ; between $10.000 and $25- 000 2 per cent ; between $25.000 and $50,000 , 3 per cent ; between $50,000 and $100,000 , 4 per cent ; above $100,000 , 5 per cent.

The gold reserve today , after deducting $2.230,000 engaged for shipment tomorrow. Is $61,703.047 , or $735- 330 lower than ever before in Its history. On February 2 , 1834 , Just previous to the bond Issue , the reserve reached $65,433,377 , the lowest point up to th t time , and the cash balance was $83,645,102. The cash bal ance today was $115,763,715 , or $31,518,613 greater than on February 2. The treasury officials are apparently not alarmed at the continued outflow of gold. The July Interest - est paymcnts , nlso the largo amount now being required by the large army of Amer ican tourists now moving towards Europe , and possibly the withdrawal ot European capital which has not found satisfactory in vestment , are thought to b * the causes of the present demand for gold. Previous ex periences indicate that within a short time the tide will have turned. That there Is no lack of gold in the country Is shown by the last national bank statement , which shows that on May 4. 1894. the national banks of United States held specie to the amount of $239,941,923. of which over $201- 000.000 was In gold coin and gold certificates. The treasury receipts BO far this year ag gregate $280.877.652 and the expenditures $361,151,337 , leaving a deficit for the year up to this time $74,273.705. NIC.VIt.lGUA CANAI. DILI. RKADV.

Section 3,259 of the Revised Stat utes requires the name of the actual distiller to be burned on the head of the barrels con taining whisky made by him. Latterly , how ever , distillers have been accustomed to give notice to the Internal revenue bureau that during the next five days , ten days , or thirty days , as the case might be , they should operate the distilleries In the name of some specified wholesale customer and place his name on the package. This cus tom , it Is claimed , Is pernicious and often Impairs the reputation of particular brands of liquor. _ TVESTKBN PENSIONS. Veterans of the Late War Heiiieinbered by the General Government.

In a communication to the commissioner of Indian affairs , the secretary says : "In many Instances authority for open market purchases Is requested when the exigency contemplated by law does not exist.

HATS ATTACK A BABY. Harrowing Cxpnrlcmro of a TaungHtor In a C'lnclnnntl Tenement. Shortly after 9 o'clock Sunday night there was a dramatic scene In the large tene ment house , IS ) Central avenue , Cincinnati. On the xecond lloor of this building , re ports the Enquirer , lives the Slmltz family , which is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Shultz and their 7-months-old son , Louis. Mr. Sliultz had gone across the street on an errand at the time mentioned above , and his wife , hearing footsteps In the hall way , went out to see If her husband WHS returning home. It proved that the foot steps which Mr * . Shultz heard were tho.v > of another tenant returning homo. In the Imlhvuy were several women who live In the house , and Aim. Shultz concluded to remain outside of her apartments for R tlmo In order to engage In a friendly chat with her neighbors and await the return home of her HCKO lord. Mrs. Shultz hittl been engaged In quiet conversation with the neighboring women but a short tlmo when Hhe was startled by hearlnu ncreanu coming from the bedroom of her tlut. where her baby had been asleep In a cradle. The frightened mother hastened to the apartment and a moat sickening night met her gaze. She beheld three largo ruts perched on the railing of her Infunt'a cra dle , and the rodents were gnawing the face and arms of her helple.it little one. Seeing Mrs. Sliultz the ruts dustily made their en- cape front the room. Streams of blood were trickling down the cheek * of the babe , and the tot's face bore an agonizing expres sion. The bedclothlnff In the cradle baa been torn Into shreds In a number of place : * by the rats , and both arms of the Innocent little one were a muss uf ncratelies and bites. The tiny night dress of the Infant was thoroughly saturated with the Ufa blood of the suffering' victim , and there were several largo abrasions on Its neck. Nut only had the rats gnawed the body of the helpless child , but they had also chewed largo pleceM out of the wooden cra dle. Several of the upholxteretl chalra In the room had a Inn been attacked and tiio hair with which the Beats was atuffed was protruding In a number of places.
