Lively DcMiiocrntio Caucus.
WASHINOTON , May 23.Tbo democratic
caucus reassembled at 8 o'clock this evening
with rather a slim attendance. Randall
was present but Speaker Carlisle was not ,
nor was Cox , chairman of the caucus , and
McCreary , of Kentucky , presided. The
greatest secrecy was maintained as to the
proceedings. After rpnslderablo discussion
nnd upon motion of Holrnan , of Indiana ,
works of art were stricken from
the free list and the present
duty retained. After the adoption
of the motion there did not seem to bo much
method exhibited in the the treatment of
amendments. After a discursive dolmto
had run on for two hours the member * of
the ways nnd means committee made a de
termined effort to save the bill from further
tinkering , nnd arguments wore made In which
attention was called to the danger of pur
suing further the policy over-loading the bill
with amendments. Finally these views crys-
talized in a proposition that all preceding
caucus action bo disregarded and that a vote
bo taken on the bill as a whole and as it caino
from the committee. But this excited tbo
ire of all of the members who had been lucky
enough to secure the adoption of their
amendments , as well as those- who hoped to
bo as well treated , o that oftor lively dc-
bate the proiiosition was withdrawn. Stone
of Kentuoky imulo an olfort to have
agricultural implements placed on the frco
list , but this amendment was rejected. In
fact at this stage it became apparent that the
preceding debate had not been without effect ,
and more determined apposition was shown
towards amendments oncroiichiui ; upon the
salient features of the bill. Heard of Mis
souri secured the adoption of an amendment
reducing the duty on news typo from 25 to 17
per cent. To meet the criticisms of the ro-
publlcuns upon the coal and irou ore
sections to the effect that the bill would
admit of the frco entry of these articles , the
language of the paragraph was changed so as
to forbid any such construction. Kaolin and
pottery clays were taken from the frco list
und restored to their old dutlos , but the
duties on pottery wcro loft to bo fixed at tbo
next caucus , The Michigan interests of Bait
and salt machinery was likewise left open
for future action. Adjourned till Wednesday.

All Unfortunate Strays Into n Tenth
Street Auction.
The two "pluggors" who feed from tbo
receipts of one llothschlindor , who conducts
n snide jewelry auction house on South
Tenth street , had a job of slugging on their
hands last night nnd the follow who wears n
checkered suit of a similar pattern to that
worn by convicts presented himself us the
principal pugilist. The main guy of the es
tablishment mounted on his high platform
was giving vqnt to his lung power in raising
the price of a $2.50 watch to ? 20 , through the
sham bids of the "pluggors , " and occasionally
deploring inwardly the fact that it was a bad
night for suckers. Finally an unfortunate ,
whoso mental and physical powers wcro
stultified by liquor , strayed in uuil looked In
wonderment at what wus going on. In him
the "pluggers" thought they had n victim ,
und when he refused to tumble to tlielr oily
representations they attacked him most
shamefully. The follow who wears the
prison coat of arms kicked and beat tho'way-
farer frightfully. Cries of polluo failed to
bring "tho finest" to the scene , and the
"plugger" made good his escape.

ship were visited by ono of the most disas
trous hail storms ever known in this part of
the country , doing damage estimated nt
$3,000. The fall of ball was terrific nnd the
rain descended in torrents. The hall stones
varied from the size of a hazlcnut to that of a
lien's egg and wcro piled and drifted in many
places from two to four foot deep. This
morning Robert McNutt , of South DCS
Molncs , found the hall so deep in bis yard
that when ho ran n common sired shovel
straight down into it less than six inches of
the hnndlo was left In sight. In Mr. G. Van
Genkcl's yard in Sovnstnpol It was drifted so
deep that ono could walk ever nn ordinary
board fence upon the drifts. South of tbo
city the damage to gardens , fruit trees and
vegetation generally was incalculable. Windows
dews wcro broicen , vegetables beaten into
the ground nnd fruit and forest trees stripped
of their foliage. Walorous' nursery was in
the range of the storm and sustained a largo
loss. Mr. Gunnel's loss on his brick yard ,
and fifteen acres of market garden is re
ported at & ) , C09. Only two houses in Sevas

In some cases the hail stones fell so violently
that clear holes exactly the slzo of the hail
were cut through the glass.

gram to THE BEE. | A tempest of consid
erable size has been browlnir in the state
agricultural college at Ames , nnd it culmi
nated Saturday night in a riot between the
secret society men und the anti-society men.
The latter have been jealous of the former ,
thinking 1t that they combined to carry off the
honors of the school , so they determined to
break up their meeting. The anti-secret so
ciety men met in n mob about 11 o'clock in
front of the society rooms in chemical and
physical 1 hall , determined to break up a joint
meeting 1f 1I of three societies. There was
great f excitement. Tlio windows wcro '
broken by stones thrown from the crowd ,
aud the cry , "Down with tbo secret men , "
caino from nearly a hundred students.
Water was shut oft from the artificial foun
tains ii it t in the roomund cyanogen gas in combi
nation with carbon bisulphide was liberated
in i the lower halls for the purpose of driving
tlio t societies from tlio room. The "scprct"
men attempted to como out , but the door had
been 1 tied from tbo outside nud egress wni
1i
made 1f through a lowpr window. Rotten eggs
followed f them. Ono [ "secret" man drew a
revolver nnd fired , jirobably to the ground.
'Tho ' "secret" men rallied around the door.
Ouo ( man ran out with a club , another with a I
revolver nud threatened to shoot The yell |
of "stone him" sent him back. The "nnti"
men were all maskbd , and after the meeting
was \ broken up retired. Great excitement

TUDKKOULOU8 COWS.
The-First ofThcm Dies nt the Hnntls
or the Commlislon.
TUB BEE several days ago published an
announcement to the effect that the state
veterinary commission had decided to make
an Inspection of the dairy oaltlo In this
vicinity with n view to discovering nnd
taking steps to eradicate tuberculoses of
winch it was thoucbt some cases might bo
found in the county.
On last Friday Dr. Gerlh , state veteri
narian , commenced his work of examination.
Ho visited a dairy several miles west of the
city , found several cows which ho thought
needed careful watching , and then ad
journed his inspection until yestcr-
ilay when ho was accompanied by Major
Blrnoy , of Crete , Gcorgo W. Barnhart , of
Columbus , members of the veterinary com
mission ; Dr. George Osbornc , deputy state
veterinarian of Fremont , nnd Dr. Rainao-
ciattl city , deputy state veterinarian nnd the
Bni : man who happened to notice the array
of medical gentlemen and followed to ascer
tain what they proposed doing ,
A drive of several miles brought tbo party
to the dairy , which is a well-kept ono nmt
milks about thirty-five cows.
Two attenuated cows were selected from
tbo herd , They had previously been exam
ined by Dr. Gcrth nnd were again subjected
to inspection. They were yoked In tbo barn.
Their tciniicraturo was. ascertained. That
of the smaller aud moro emaciated of the
two was found to bo 1W degrees , an increase
of two nnd n half degrees over the showing
made on Friday. The animal was excitable ,
nervous , breathed with dlfllculty , coughed
and showed in every limb the wast
ing away which was as pro
nounced as it would have been in a human
under pulmonary affection. Tlio creature's
lungs were then tested , by sounding on the
outside of the body , for n distance behind the
shoulders. This examination satisfied the
doctor nnd the attending surgeons that the
lungs were affected. A consultation cusucd
and Dr. Gcrth stated that the case was un
doubtedly ono of tuberculosis , but that ha
thought thcro was also a complication which
was in part at least occasioned by pneumo
nia. It was decided to km the animal. She
was accordingly tied to a tree in a beautiful
cattle grove. Commissioner Barnhart placed
a revolver nt her head nnd llred. Tlio cow
dropped in an instant , nnd after a few ner
vous contractions wus dead.
Tlio surgeons then in a few moments de
nuded the left lung and found that Dr.
Gorth's diagnoses had been correctly made.
The surface of the organ was studded
with raised dark-brown sjwts , many of which
were as largo as a nickel and looked like so
many buttons upon a crcnm-colorod batr.
These wcro the deposits resulting from the
disease. Careful bundling of the lungs dis
covered within substances as largo as a mar
ble , which were hard nnd could bo felt in
fifty places in the organ. Some of both the
interior nnd exterior tubercles were cut in
twain , revealing grayish , yellowish nnd
translucent matter. This the doctors stated
originated in n soft substance , excited sup
puration 1 which generally sought escape from
the 1i body ; afterwards it became hard nnd.
1I formed i as above described.
The traces of pneumonia were discovered
in I tlio solidified nnd discolored portion of the
lungs 1i 1 as also in the inllnmmatlon of the
serous membrane parts of which ad
hered 1i 1 to the ribs. Largo tumors were
1i also cut from the glands under the jaw which
were doubtless responsible for the difficult
respiration under which the animal labored.
Dr. Gerth says there are about six more
cows in the herd which ho knows to bo
affected with a cough. Thcso in time will bo
examined J and if found to bo suffering from
tuberlosis J will bo killed also , The com
mission , however , will proceed carefully and
prudently 1i 1 in the mutter , the dcsiro being to
resort i to extreme measures only when it is
absolutely necessary. Meanwhile the owner
of the animals has been cautioned to separate
the t sick animals from those who are not sup-
] K > scd to bo affected , and under no circum
stances | to.pcrmit their milk to bo sold. The
owner has promised strictly to com
ply 1i 1 with this injunction , and stoutly
1i asserts that ho has not been selling their
milk for some time. The commission holds
that this injunction is absolutely necessary
because the milk of tuberculous cows is con
sidered injurious to health not alone to
children , but even to adults. They also hold
that the disease is contagious among cattle ,
and while ono may not now foresee the out
come , it would not bo surprising if where
tuberculous cows uro found in herds all the
other cows which hnvo been associated with
them should have to bo killed. For every
cow killed the owner will bo reimbursed , and
it Is quite likely that the general government
may bo called upon to aid in thin method of
paying for the eradication of the disease.
On the farm on which tbo cow above
mentioned was killed six other cows
have died within a couple of months. Two
of these died from "bloating , " and the others ,
in the estimation of the commission from tu
berculous , which is but another name for
consumption.
The veterinary commission arc determined
to make u thorough examination of every
dairy in the city and adjoining country , and
in their work will be warmly encouraged by
people of all classes who , whether rich or
poor , can not feel satisfied with the uncer
tainty which attends milk , the fount of
which may bo tainted with disease and death.

A Model's Itomnncc.
The artihts bay it is almost impossible
to got beautiful female models , says u
Now York letter. There is a romantic
story told of a wealthy young artist who
advertised for a model , naming a high
price ; scores of women caino , among
them a woman who were a mask when
she posed for him. She was absolutely
perfect , so ho engaged her and painted
a picture- her that made him famous.
Ho never saw her faco. Some years
afterwards ho mot a beautiful girl liv
ing with an invalid mother in Venice.
IIo wooed her and they became on-
gaged. One night she fainted , and ho ,
in loosening the throat of her gown ,
discovered on her nock a little dark
mark ho remembered seeing on the
throat of his beautiful model. IIo told
her of it , and she confessed. Her
mother had mot with reverses , was ill ,
nnd they were in desperate want. She
could not leave her long enough to
work all day. She saw his advertise
ment and answered it. Soon after that
a relative left them enough property to
live abroad comfortably. Of course , ho
loved her all the more , etc , If this
wasn't a newspaper story tlio girl would
have probably had a pug nose and
freckles.
SLAVERY IN CHINA.
How Mongolian Tramps Are Trontcd
nt Homo.
The question will naturally arise in
many minds how those vast numbers
arc maintained nnd controlled in ser
vitude , says the 'Krlsco Chronicle. The
answer is that all people are taught
obedience to the head of the family ,
whether that person is the real parent
or whether ho merely stands in loco
parotitis , The teachings of par
ents , of the schools , of the
books of religion and of the
government are all in favor of such
obedience and submission. There can
be no living in China outside of a fnmi-
ly. To bo a nobody's child , is to ho an
outcast , nnd hunted like a wolf on the
mountains. In order to llvo in a house ,
to travel on the highways or byways , to
buy food or clothing , togot employment
or shelter , a government pass is abso
lutely necessary , und that is always
based upon a family pass. All law , all
the ofllcials and nil the people of a vast
and densely populated country nro
joined ngaiust any fugitive from n
family.
In addition to all these Iho terrors of
religion nnd superstition are brought to
bear to enforce obedience to the family
law. It is implicitly believed that
those who nro disobedient in this world
or ottlsido the family association will bo
wanderers und outcasts through all the
worlds to como. It is the terrors of this
belief that mnko the victim of the Chi
nese family authority go uncomplain
ingly to the lingering but sure death of
the guano islands of Peru ; to the pestif
erous rice and caao fields of Cuba , and
it is these terrors of the future which
mnko the unfortunate slnvo girls otiduro
lives of shame and infamy in foreign
countries , whore by raising a hand they
could bo freed.
AVIicro Were the Pyramids Built ?
The answer to this question , says the
Trade's Supply News , is beyond mod
ern conjecture , so imperfect is our un
derstanding of the extent of the me
chanical knowledge of the ancients.
Their appliances nro believed to have
been of the simplest order , and the
implements exceedingly crude , and yet
they were able to convoy these enor
mous blocks of stone for vast distances
over routes most dilllcult ; and. having
accomplished this , to raise thorn to a
great height , and fit them in place
without'tho aid of either cement or
mortar to cover up the errors of the
stonecutter. How all this was done is
ono of the enigmas of modern science.
It has been generally believed that in
clined planes of earth were used to en
able the workmen to raise the - hugo
stones to their places , the earth being
cleared away afterward. But it is
possible that the ancients had a moro
extended knowledge of mechanical pow
ers than wo usually give them credit
for , and that they made xiso of the
machinery very like that employed by
moderns for lifting great weights.
Large cavities are found in some of the
stones in the pyramids which may have
been worn by the foot of a derrick turn
ing in them. That there were enormous
numbers of men employed in the build
ing of these ancient structures is well
known. These results of their great
aggregated strength wo see , but they
left no record of the means by which
this strength was focusscd and brought
most effectually to bear on their mighty
tasks.
Orlfjin of the "Bloody Shirt. "
The origin of the expression "bloody
shirt" is said by a correspondent to be
from a Corsican custom , now nearly ob
solete. In the days of the fierce " "vun-
dctta' ' bloodshed was a common occur
rence. Before the burial of a murdered
man the "gridala" was celebrated.
"Gridata. " crying around. Lot us trans
late it a ' 'wake. ' " The body of the mur
dered man was laid upon a plank , then
his weapons placed near his hand and
his blood-stained shirt hung
above his head. Around the
rude bier a circle of women ,
wrapped in their black mantles , rocked
thomsolvcs to and fro , with vociferous
wailing.
The men , relatives and friends of the
murdered , man , armed to'the tooth ,
stood around , mad with thirst for ro-
vongo. One of the women the wife ,
or mother , or sister of the murdered
man with a yell would bnateh the
bloody shirt , , and , waving it aloft ,
begin the "vocoro" ( lamentation howl ) .
The rythmie howling was made m > of
expressions of love for the dead and
alternate howls of hatred of his ene
mies , and its startling images and
tremendous curses were echoed in the
faces and mutterings of the armed
mourners. By transition the phrase
"bloody shirt" was applied to the
southern rebellion.

CIIIOAOO , May 23. [ Special Telegram to
THE line. ] Wheat traders spent most of the
morning sosiloii waiting for supply figures ,
and when they caino thcro wan not enough
surprise in them to cauno much movement
cither way. The decrease of 1,500,000
bushels was not so much an the bulls
hoped for , but was rather moro than
the bears predicted , and so thcro was
no encouragement in it for cither party.
Estimates had varied widely because of tlio
uncertainty regarding the amount on the
lakon , and then about the opening of nav
igation each year , und for a few weeks nfter-
wnrdo , wheat disappears nnd reappear" in a
manner which puzzles all but the ofllcial re
corders. Duluth showed another largo de
crease , but this was not as significant as the
fact noted by the friends of
wheat that the four principal pri
mary winter wheat markets of Toledo
Detroit , St. Louis and Kansas City bnvo now
in store In the aggregate but 1I55.000 ! bushels
of wheat. They claim that fanners who nro
still holding their winter wheat are those
who nro nblo to carry it , and. they will do so
unless there is a very considerable advance
in prices. In view of this and of the small reserve -
servo in farmers' hands anyway , these small
stocks in winter wheat markets are thought
to bo very significant. Chicago increased
her Ltock of winter wheat during the week
S3.3S3 bushels. Trade was In small volume
during the early part of tlio session , while
traders were waiting for the visible supply
figures which came moro slowly than usual.
The opening was V@ > Yc higher than Satur
day's ' closing on the natural reaction from
the sharp brwik of that day , but the disposi
tion of tlio local crowd was rather bearish.
There was nothing now to stlmti-
late prices , and upou this absence the
bears counted for sagging the market.
However , the downward tendency was not
marked and at ono time , when the returns
seemed to indicate a largo decrease iu the
visible , there was an advance in July wheat
of @Jfc from the lowest point touched , but
this was nil lost later nnd tlio close was at
tuo-boUoin price of the session. July wheat
oj > enod nt 87c , sold during the early trading
at b@S7&c ( , then dropped to SO c , ad
vanced to 87c , fell to SOJ/c , then advanced to
87i/(3S7 ( c , nnd gradually declined to kGc ,
which was the price at the 1 o'clock close.
Juno wheat opened ntSOc , sold nt 805(0 , with
the nominal low point ut 853fc , nnd closed at
1 o'clock ntS5c.
The corn market was strong and higher ,
much to Uio surprise of a number of traders
who reckoned upon the extraordinary largo
receipts to depress prices. The receipts
were I,2o7 cars against Saturday's estimate
of 9M cars. Of these receipts 051 cars were
of contract grades , nevertheless the price
advanced. A largo part of these re
ceipts did not como on the cash market
and there wcro two explanations offered for
this circumstance. Ono was that they were
delivered on old contracts for May ; another
that they were controlled largely by parties
who rushed them in just at this time , and
who proposed by that means to break the
market so that they could profitably cover
their May sales und sell Juno or July against
this grain , and thus make something in car
rying charges or , if that plan failed , deliver
the grain about the last clay of the month ,
For such spot grain ns was offered there wus
an excellent demand. The bull jwint was
that the wet weather would prevent shipping
nnd loading to the extent that that 1ms pre
vailed for the past few dayaand that n falling
off in receipts might be expected. However ,
the estimate is for 1,123 cars for to-morrow ,
but the correctness of this estimate was
disputed by some who bollox'od
that Sunday's inspection on the
Illinois Central nnd wabash roads , which
was included in to-day's receipts , wus also
included in this estimate. The greater part
of the present arrivals is from Illinois. July
corn opened nt 5-l e and advanced directly
to 55 > ( jcthcn fell tofUJfc , JIuctjintod between
5-l.J c and Me for u time , advanced to 55 fc ,
declined to 53o , and closed , at 1 o'clock , at
r > r > @ 55' < c. Juno corn opened atfM'iC , sold up
to r 5@5/YcI ; ; and closed , ut 1 o'clock , ut
G0ifc.
The receipts of oats were also much larger
than expected , being 4S-1 cars , against tlio
estimate of SIM cars , but in the face of this
prices advanced. May oats opened at Satur
day's closing price , SS fc , sold up to and
closed at 37c. July oats opened at StJGa , sold
nt S2)e , up to and closing at Uac.
June oats opened nt ! ! 3JHc , sold
up to and closed at lO GsnjhC.
The covering of May receipts was the
feature of the market , they having to bid up
for grain , ns Norton & Worthlngton were
buyers of May and Juno whenever offered.
In provisions a lower ran go of prices was
witnessed. Largo receipts of hogs , coupled
with a ( leellno in the same , increased the
weakness developed nt tlio clot.o of last week
nnd initial sales wcro made this iftomingnt
a decline of 20c In pork , 7f c In lord , nnd lOo
