The formal context against the 'measure was maintained, bnt all mnendments tending to change the bill 4i represented were voted down and the finance committee sustained. ' The de bute was mainly of a technical char actor, the Republican senators continu ing the policy of refraining.froui mak ing speeches. t Before the tarifl bill was taken up, Tillman gave the senate another hour of exciting controversy over the pro posed sugar investigation. He defend ed himself from published charges rela tive to his administration of the gov ernorship of South Carolina, and then moved that the committee having -charge of the sugar resolution be dis charged from further consideration of it, thus bringing the matter directly beforo the senate. Gallinger, in behalf of the commit 'tee, mailu a spirited protest against this course and also urged that the sen ate should not turn aside from its pub lic work to investigate charges affect ing the private character of senators. There were frequent lively exchanges between Tillman,' Gallinger and Jones of Nevada, but in the end Tillman withdrew his motion.

At the com mercial conference today, Mr. Robert ' son, of Mexico, said, in the course of an address, that the reason her ma jesty's United Kingdom controls so much of the trade of the various coun tries is because she subsidizes steam ship lines and sends her emissaries ol trade to the remotest parts of the earth .and says: "I want to buy what you have to sell and want to sell you some thing." Continuing, Mr. Robertson said: "The products of the Central and South American states will never be brought here until you provide some way to transport that which you wish to sell, and provide some way to bring back that which your neighbors through the South have to sell. They want to buy from . you and they want to inter change their products." Capatin Garcia, of Rio Janeiro, stated that at the banquet last night he had presented a somewhat lengthy letter to President McKinley, and that dis tinguished gentleman had informed him he would forward a reply as early as possible. The letter asks the American government to develop, by means of congressional action, a system of navi gation between Brazil and the United States.

' Jack McDougall and Jaok Arvey,' of Juneau, were there by chance, and as the row grew furious they with one or two others secured stout clubs unci in a short time had a number of very sore headed savages tamed down to a state of repentant docility. Three of the leaders' were . tied hand and foot and locked up in a cabin near at hand until sobered up, and no further trouble is apprehended.

A Chronicle spe cial from Washington says: It is an nounced semi-ofncially that congress will not immediately adjourn aftor the passage of the tariff bill. The Repub lican managers have decided in accord ance with the wishes of the adminis tration' that they will attempt to puss a ourrenoy reform measure as soon it . i . tx . ! :.. . tne lanu quuHiiun oih i me way. It is contended that the statement re cently made by Seoretary Gage that something would be done by the pres ent congress for the improvement of our finances was not an idle suggestion, but one which embodied the views of the administration sud leading Repub licans of congress. It is also stated, however, that all the president desired from the present session of congress is authority to ap point a currency commission, whose members shall be directed to report at the regular session in December a feasi ble plan for placing the national finan ances on a sound substantial and endur ing basis." 1 I'paet In Breaker.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade anys: The statement of failures in May in nil brunches of bnsinccM gives much en couragement. In defaulted liabilities, the month wus the Kinallcst since Sep tember, 1805; in manufacturing liabil ities.the smal lent since Sptembor,1898, except in the hint mouth of 1804. Failures of general stores have not been as small in any mouth in three years as in May, 1897; in only two months out of 86 have there been smaller failures in books and hate; in only five have there been smaller failnres in groceries and but one trading class in that month has reported failures larger than in any of the preceding mouths, furniture, in which fuilures were rather numorous. Nobody can mistuko tho meaning of such returns. The statement that, except for the temporary depression iu prices, the vol ume of business transacted is : now larger than it was in 1803 the year of greatest prosperity hus been ques tioned by some. But a comparison of prices this week in the leading branches of manufacture not only confirms that view, but shows a remarkable similarity to the cotirso of prices in the earlier months of 1879, when the most won derful advance in production and prices ever known in this or any other coun try was close nt hand. - The key of the situation Is the ex cessive production of some goods in anticipation of an expected increase in the demand. So, in ,1879, consumption gradually gained, month by month, until suddenly it was found that the demand was greater than tho possible supply. All know bow prices then ad vanced, nnd the most marvelous prog ress in the history of any country re sulted within two yeurs. Reports from ull parts of the country now show that the retail distribution of products is unuHually large and In creasing. There is no improvement in the market for farm products. The iron industry is apparently expanding in production, and it is certainly get ting larger oontracts, because of very low prices, one cent being ouoted for beams. Bessemer pig ia stronger, and gray forgo a shade weaker under pres sure of Southern anxiety to sell. The rail mills are all working full time. Failures for the week have been 241 In the United States, against 234 last year aud 82 in Canada, against 29 lost year. - HIS PLANS FOR ESCAPE. A.

Columbus, O., June 7. A special to the Dispatch from Urbana, O., says: Click Mitchell, the negro brute, baar paid the penalty of his foul crime with) his life. An outraged people have taken the law into their own hands, meted out the punishemnt he so richly deserves and obeyed the command and' wish of his prostrate, and, as an nounced,' dying victim. The sensa tional and unfortunate events of the night intensified the feeling against Mitolvpll, if it were possible, and the determination had been general that' the brute should never leave the town alive. Tho Crime and It Iteanlt. Urbana, O., June 7. Never waa there suoh a tragedy in this oitjr as that enacted at 2:30 this morning. Two men lay dead and six seriously wound ed, with one more that may die. Sine the deplorable shooting the people are standing around the corners sadly and seriously discussing the awful and ap palling tragedy. When the shooting occurred an at tempt was being made by a mob to en tor the jail from the rear. The militia. were in the hall on the second floor, and standing at the windows. . Big gins, of West Liberty, and another man had sledge hammers in thoir hands and had broken the glass in the door lead ing to the hall from which the jail is entered. Suddenly the militia openml fire without warning, and Higgins fell back with the exclamation: "My God, I am shotl" Then followed the scene of death and destruction that brought others down. The panic-stricken citi zens exolainied: "Ko one is safe here but Mitchell. " The city of 6,000 Inhabitants is an unusually orderly one. With its col leges it has always had the highest reputation, but pandemonium reigned last night. . Recently Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, the widow of the late publisher of the Ur bana Democrat, was criminally as saulted by Charles Mitchell, alius "Click" Mitchell, a notorious negro, who was arraigned last Wednesday., but his victim was too ill to appear in oourt. The man was taken to her home for identification. As he entered the door she exolainied: "Hang himl How dare yon faoe me, you brute?" In default of bail Mitchell was t locked up in the city prison, but on ac- count of the feeling was removed to the county jail the same night for sale keeping. . That night the jail was snr rounded by a mob that was held back by the sheriff's posse and the local company of the Ohio National Guard. Last night the situation was more threatening than ever, and Governor Buehnel was called on for assistance, but refused to order the miitia from any other place here. This city is only 20 miles from Springfield and 40 miles from Columbus, from which place troops could have been transferred, bnt it was thought Mitchell could be taken to the penitentiary quietly. The grand jury was impaneled yes-'' terday and Mitchell was indicted for oriminal assault. Then the crowd wee thrown off the trail by bringing Mitch ell into court in a soldier uniform.' Mitchell was scared, pleaded guilty and v was sentenced to the limit of 80 years. r . The trial latsed only a few moments, and Mitchell wanted to get to the penfi ' tentiary at Columbus quick, but wlten the oarriage drove up to the jail the crowd rushed in to get Mitchell and lynch him. Another crowd surrounded the depot The sheriff remained forti fied in the jail with bis prisoner while the militia patrolled about the ground. The crowds would not disperse, and at 2:80 A. M. they broke through the lines of soldiers and were about enter ing the jail when the soldiers opened fire. Hon. Daniel H. Gaumer, publisher of the Zanesvillo Signal, and Hon. Charles Gaumer, formerly publisher of the Mansfield Shield, are brothers-in-law of the victim. They are here with, Mrs. Gaumer, who is still in a critical condition. Kevaloff on Trial. Odessa, Russia, June 7. Feodore Kavaloff, chief actor in the Immuring tragedy at Tirespol, bas arrived here for trial. On his premises were recent ly discovered six bodies of persona who had been bnried alive, and he confessed that he walled up in bis cellar nine liv ing persons, including his wife and two children. They all belonged to a fanat ical sect known as Raskoi Niki and sought salvation by self-immolation. Kavaloff declares that all the victims died voluntarily. He drew lots with a co-fanatic to decide who should actual ly bury the victims. He earnestly desired to be buried alive himself an1 is still impelled by a fanatical desire to commit suicide.
