Outing, the earnest advocate of
healthful outdoor exercise for men and
women, is full of good things this
month. Canoeing, camping, fishing,
shooting, fiction and travel, all have
their place in a magazine which should
be read by young and old, for none can
find harm in its teachings. Prominent
features of the June number are: “The
Curee of the Wiukleys;” “Hunting with
Patagonia Welshmen;” “In the Land of
the Breadfruit;” “A Woman in Camp”
and “Bird Loves”—the latter delight
fully interesting and written by a close
student of nature.
MR. QUAY OBJECTED,
An Agreement to Expedite Tariff Work
Comer to Nothing.
Washington, Juno 8.—For several
hours to-day Senators Aldrich nnd
Allison conferred with Senators Har
ris and Cockrell and each side held
consultations with party friends. As
a result, an agreement was cached
to proceed under the live minute rule
with the schedules of the bill until
wool should be reached, and finish
them this week, so that the wool
schedule could be tuken up next Mon
day. This included the agricultural
schedule, which is now under consid
eration, spirits, wines and other bev
erages, cotton manufactures and flax,
hemp and jute.
At 2 o’clock Mr. Harris proposed
the agreement in the senate, and,
with the modification that senators
might speak for ten minutes, it was
discussed by-Mr. Hoar and Mr. Frye.
While the discussion was going on
Mr. Quay came in, asked what was
before the senate and objected. This
killed the agreement temporarily at
least.
Before the agreement was presented
Mr. Iloar introduced a resolution call
ing on the judiciary committee to pass
upon the equity of the action of the
attorney general in claiming $15,000,
000 from the estate of the late Lei and
Stanford. He eulogized Mr. Stanford
and praised the objects to which he
had devoted his wealth. Mr. Black
burn said the course prompted by the
resolution was unprecedented in the
history of congress. The real ques
tion was whether the estate which
was devised by Mr. Stanford to edu
cational purposes had not been wrong
fully diverted from the United States.
No action was taken.
SENATOR ALLEN’S PLAN.
Ho Introduces a Bill to Preserve Purity
of National Legislation.
Washington, June 8.—One out
growth of the sugar investigation ap
peared in the senate yesterday. It
took the form of a bill by Mr. Allen
of Nebraska, its title being “A bill to
preserve the purity of national legis
lation.” Mr. Allen is the Populist
member of the sugar investigating
committee and the reports of stock
speculations by senators suggested
the measure to him.
The bill provides that it shall be
unlawful for any senator or repre
sentative during his term of office to
own or be concerned, directly or in
directly, in owning, buying or selling
or in any manner dealing in specula
tive stocks, the value of which may
in any manner depend upon a vote of
congress; nor shall any member of
congress be a member or interested
pecuniarily in any board of trade,
stock exchange, national bank or
other organization in which such |
stocks are bought or sold. Violation
of this act is made punishable by for
feiture of office and expulsion from
the branch of congress to which such
member belongs, and in addition
thereto, he shall be subject to indict
ment and conviction. The oath of
office is to be enlarged in scope to
cover the provisions of the bill.
THE DOCKING ISSUE AGAIN.
Doom Members Not Satisfied With the
Present System.
Washington, June 8.—Feeling over
the enforcement or non-enforcement
of the statute for docking senators’
and members’ salaries will not subside
in the house. The resolution intro
duced by Representative Sperry of
Connecticut, calling upon the ser
geant-at-arms for accurate informa
tion as to the enforcement of the law
and for a report of the certificates
signed by members, will bring the
question up again if the committee on
rules will report.
INDIANA TROOPS ALARMED.
Drunken Miners Attack Sentries and a
Skirmish Follows.
Shelbuhne, Ind., June 8.—About 1
o’clock this morning several drunken
men approached the picket line
around the ninety militiamen sta
tioned at Farmersburg and taunted
the guards.
One man attempted to pass through
the line and was brought to a halt.
The intruder hurled a brick at the
guard and the latter opened fire.
This was the signal for a general
fusilade of stones and firing by the
guards. Forty or fifty shots were
fired in quick succession.
Colonel Ebel, of Terre Haute, com
manding the three companies, called
to arms all his men, but they were
unable to run down the attacking
par tv.
THE CUTTER BEAR WRECKED.
One nr the United States Seal ratrol
Fleet on the Sitka Rocks.
San Francisco, June 8.—The United
States revenue cutter Bear is almost
a total wreck and possibly by this
time is battered to pieces at tho
entrance to Sitka harbor.
The steamer was plowing her way
into the harbor at good speed on the
night of May 39 when she struck on a
rock, and all efforts to get her off
were unavailing. She went on at
. high water and the officers state that
they have very little hope of ever
getting her oft. Her stern was tho
part to suffer most and her rudder,
propeller and stern post soon went.
No lives were lost.
LITTLE HOPE FOR MOORE.
Four Democrat! at the Election* Com
mittee In Far or of Mr. Fun* ton.
Washington, June 8.—Congressman
Funston will very likely remain the
representative of the Second Kansas
district in this congress.
Four of the Democratic members
have notified their colleagues that
they have examined the record of the
case with care and that they are for
Fnnston and against Moore.
A Crank TUit* the White Home.
Washington, June 8.—A young man
who announced that his purpose was
to convert President Cleveland to
ways of righteousness, paid a third
L'me to the White house to-day.
While he was not disorderly he was
so determined to get at the president
that the watchman called the police
patrol andhad him transfrered to the
Third presinct station, where he will
be held for examination. His name,
I it was nndertsood, was Heffenstine, a
I converted Jew.
Bill DALTON SHOT DEAD.
THE NOTORIOUS OUTLAW IN
STANTLY KILLED.
LAID LOW BY A WINCHESTER BULLET
)
Surprised by a Posse of Deputy Marshals
—Ills Body Lies Cold In Death at
Ardmore—Ills Wife Telegraphs
Relatives Announcing the
Death of the Bandit—
Sketch of the Daltons.
Arumork, Ind. Ter., June 11.—
Stretched out on a pine board in the
rooms of Undertaker Appolis, on Cad
do street, in this city, Hill Dalton, the
noted desperado, bank robber and
murderer, lies stiff and cold, a victim
of the unerring aim of C. Loss Hart, a
deputy United States marshal at
tached to the force of Captain L. L.
Stowe of this city. A wound on the
right side of the spinal column near
the hip shows where the deadly mes
senger did its work.
The identification is complete. His
widow is here under arrest and has
sent two telegrams, signing her name
“Mrs. Jennie Dalton.” The first went
to C. H. Blivens, 1407 Van Ness ave
nue, San Francisco, and read: “My
husband, Bill Dalton, lies here dead.
Come at once. I want his remains
sent home.” The other one was ad
dressed to Mrs. A. L. Dalton, King
fisher, and read: “Bill Dalton here
dead. Come at once if you wish to see
him.”
Thursday afternoon a man named
Wallace went to the express office and
called for a package, which was given
him. He was arrested on suspicion,
the package broken into and found to
contain several gallons of whisky.
From him it was learned the
whisky was for other people, said to
be living near Elk, and from incau
tious remarks the officers concluded it
to belong to the Daltons, the Long
view bank robbers, who were known
to be in the neighborhood of Elk, a
smalltown twentj-five miles north
west of here. The man was locked
up and a posse of United States Dep
uty marshals started for the free
booters’ rendezvous.
I>alton Taken by Surprise.
Yesterday while the men were tak
ing their positions Dalton was seen to
come out,look around and immediately
return. The officers on the east side
were discovered by him through a
window or by some one in the house,
and pistol in hand he jumped through
a window on the north and started to
run east. Loss Hart, one of the posse,
was less than thirty yards from the
house and called on him to halt.
For reply he tried to take aim while
running and just then the Winchester
of the officer spoke.
The two jumps into the air were
the only motions after this by the
fleeing man. His pistol fell from his
hand and with a groan he sank down.
Mr. Hart ran up to him and asked
what he was doing there, but he was
too near dead to reply, and expired
without a word. The house was
searched, and over 150 letters, Re
sides numerous rolls of crisp bank
bills were found, the address proving
him to be Bill Dalton and the money
proving him to have been the leader
of the Longview bank robbery.
The remains were brought to this
city, and when his wife was told that
Bill Dalton was dead she became hys
terical and almost succumbed to the
shock. Dalton was a man about five
feet nine inches tall, weighed about
170 pounds and had black curly hair;
clean shaven, • large head and neck
and well built. He was dressed in a
woolen shirt, yellow suspenders,
black pants and top boots, and looked
the typical outlaw.
■me outlaw's Wire Talks.
In the Sherman house Mrs. Bill Dal
ton, nee Jennie Blivins, lies stricken
from the blow which killed her hus
band. In reply to questions Mrs. Dal
ton said: “I was born and raised in
California, where I first met Mr. Dal
ton. We were married March 14,1884,
in Merced county in that state, where
we lived together until 1891, when he
left for this country. I followed in
1893,and we have remained here since
that time.
“Mr. Dalton was 29 years of age and
has a mother aged 60 and four broth
ers, Charles, Coleman, Littleton and
Simon who live at present in Oklaho
ma Territory. We have lived with
the Wallace family only a month and
were in no way related to them. My
people live in San Francisco, my
father’s residence being 1407 Van Ness
avenue, and I also have two brothers
and one sister living in that state.”
Mrs. Dalton is a blonde, intelligent,
refined and cultured, and keenly feels
her present position. She is 27 years
of age and has two children, the eld
est, Charles, being 8 years old, while
a daughter, Gracie, aged 6, is a hope
less invalid. Messrs. Dick and Brown,
attorneys of this city, have been en
gaged to defend Wallace who was ar
rested, and will also represent Mrs.
Dalton in the legal complications
which may arise. There can no
longer be a question of the identity
of the dead man, as Mrs. Dalton, re
plying to a direct question said: “Yes,
that is Bill Dalton, and I and my chil
dren are his lawful and sorrowing
wife and orphans.”
OKLAHOMA’S MONSTROSITY.
A Girl Baby Makes Its Advent in Jones
vllle With Two Heads.
South Exn>, Ok.,llJuno.—Mrs. Mc
Man, wife of a justice of the peace in
the first addition north, called Jones
ville, gave birth yesterday afternoon
to a girl baby which had two heads.
They were about equal size and were
in an inverse order, that is, the faces
were in opposite directions. The
"ves. ears, nose and mouth of the
head which faced backward were not
perfect, as it could not breathe, see,
hear, taste nor smell. The scalp,
however, was perfect. Dr. Uoiscon,
the attending physician, cut off the
head facing backwards and the baby
■s doing well. He thinks it may live.
CAVE FALSE FIGURES.
A Testing Machlnb Used by the Carnegie
Company So Manipulated.
Washington, Juno. 11.—Lieutenant
Albert Ackerman of the United States
navy was heard yesterday by the
house committee on armor plate
frauds. He was one of the naval
board which investigated the first
charges of fraud. He told the inves
tigation of the second op supplemental
charges. This testimony developed a
new branch of irregularity as to the
manipulation of a testing machine
used by the Carnegie company.
The machine was operated so as to
give false figures. Disclosures were
also made as to serious defects in
two plates of the Monterey, and one
in the Machias. Lieutenant Acker
man said blow-holes were a positive
defect and could be avoided. In this
opinion his statement differed from
that of other naval officers. The wit
ness described the blow-hole in the
thirteen-inch armor of the Monterey.
A wire four feet long had been in
serted in the hole.
Chairman Cummings read from the
testimony of the second investigation
to the effect that one of the workmen
had been discharged at the suggestion
of one of the government inspectors.
Members of the committee commented
on this testimony, stating that it in
dicated confidential relations between
the Carnegie company and the naval
inspectors.

At 6 o’clock the day turn did nnf
come out and the night turn did not
go in. There was a great load of prjj.
visions taken into the mill bv th.
company, and a lone Sla# workman
came out of the back way and tried to
make a sneak to escape. He
seen, and a section of the surgi™
mob broke off the main body and fell
upon his trail with yells that mu,
have given him speed if it was in him.
At the mills the mob surged around
the entrances until 7 o’clock, when a
rush was made, and they broke into
the yards. The men were panic
stricken, and it was the rule of every
man for himself. The mob swarmed
into the inclosure looking for the
hated non-unionists. Hundreds of
them were equipped with clubs, or
weapons of some description. Then
began a wild chase and pursuit of the
hunted workmen inside. Several
welders took to the river and mada
their escape to Mifflin township, pup
sued by crowds of strikers, and finally
chased off into the darkness toward
Duquense.
The strikers were in complete pos
session of the place. They ranged
oyer the ground and finally routed the
bidden workmen.
At midnight the crowd decreased
and comparative quiet now reigns
All the law-abiding citizens are in
doors with the exception of the curi
ous, who are willing to take the risk
of watching the rioters. The strikers
are virtually in possession of the
town. _
NO BANK TAX REPEAL.
Che House Defeats the Coz and Brawlej
Dills by Big Majorities.
Washington, .June 7. ■— The Cox
amendment for the total repeal of
the ten per cent tax on state banks
was defeated to-day in the house—
102-170.
A viva voce vote on the Brawley
bill was then taken and the bill de
feated.
At the outset of the debate the
state bank men counted on 140 votes,
but their ranks were thinned by ab
sence and pairs.
The mother of America’s favorite
boy hero, “Little Lord Fauntleroy,”
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, writes
to the mothers of boys in the June issue
of the Ladies’ Home Journal upon
“When He Decides,” in which she
points out to what extent mothers
should influence their sons in regard to
their choice of an occupation. Mrs.
Amelia E. Barr sketches the mental im
plements of the modern women in an
article on “Have Women Found }<ew
Weapons?” Mr. Frank Stockton takes
the quaint “Pomona” through some
ridiculously funny escapades in this in
stallment of her “travels.” Published
