One of the plates showed the bullet in line with the the spin«* and the ninth rib. The other indicated it was back of the junction of the fourth riband the breast bone. These two p u n ts are in a dire- t line from chest to back. It is the opinion of the specialist, judging from the density of the ballet spots in the negatives that the bullft w - ji koiged about two inches in front of the »(une. If that ie ao, and the ball traveled in a straight line, it must have gone through the heart- If it did not go through the heart, how did it get around the heart and reach its pr«*«ent l««*atioti? That i* what trouble* the surgeons. N elson’s heart ie direct ly ba- k o* the entrance of the ballet an«l sargt-oos say the bullet could not have gone in direct line withont pierc ing the heart. The sciagraphs indicata that the ball was not d*-fl««'ted. It will require another sciagraph showing a lateral view of the patient’s chert to determine whether the bullet has passed through the heart or not. If it proves to be back of the heart, the m \stery w ill be greater than ever. When Nelson was brought to the hospital and his wound was probed he lost a pint of blood. The eurgeons were satisfied his heart was pierced and sal«i he had but a short tim e to live. W t»-n he began to recover they Con cluded that the bullet had pierced the pericardium, the sack enveloping the heart, and dropped, perhaps, to the bottom of the sack after bruising the heart. The sciagraphs indicate that the bullet did not drop, but went straight ahead in it* coarse, after bor ing its way through the breast b«-ne. In taking the sciagraph*.

His t«ody had been smeared with cocaine to lessen the irritation and he declare-! he felt no pain, only a prick ing sensation. For several m inutes the company s i lently watched and listens-1. Then the patient was tnrned around and the doc tor held another plate to his chest for feur minutes. Nelson said he felt no pain either from his wound or from the X-rav. Now that the tariff fight has rounded up and the South has supplied a target protective strength than ever before, the free trade organ« are making one last effort to offset this damaging fact by renew ing their asaertions that the Southern votes cast for protection are thoae ni Northern men. Of course nobody who has had an op portnnity to examine into the fact» is going to l»e fooled with this sort of statement, hut as there are many who probably have not this opfortnnitT, I pro|«j«e to run hastily over the field and give everyone a chance to see for him setlf whether genuine protective sentim ent is or is not growing among Southern men. The data from which this statement is compiled is obtain«*! from official records, the birthplace and political record of the men in question being furnished by themselves in their auto- biographie» in the congreseronal direc tory, the statement» as to vote« cast iieing from the 1 ongretisional Record. Five Democrats voted for the tariff bill in the house, KleG-rg arid Slay- • len. of Texas, and Broussard, Davey and Meyer, of Louisiana. Six Demo crats have voted for high protective fea ture* of the bill in the senate, Bacon and Clay, of Georgia, Tillman and Mc Laurin. of South Carolina, McEnery, of Louisiana, and Martin, of Virginia. Every one of these (with the p w ib le exception o f M e y e r , of Looisiana, who d«»e» not indicate iiis birthplace in the autobiography published in the congres- sh-nal dire-'toryi is a native-born South erner and ha* lived all his life in that sect too. Senator M. Enery was born in Mon roe. La., was nominated by the Dem- ocratic party as lieutenant governor in 18»9, by the *ame party for governor in 1884, by the same party for governor in 1892. and by the same («arty for senator in 1896, being elected a* a Democratic senator w ith the clear understanding that he was a protectionist in senti ment and that he would so v«»te in the senate. Mr. Meyer, of Louisiana, who voted for the tariff hill in the house, has spent practically his entire life in the 8outh, educated in Virginia, serv ing as a Confederate <»ffi>-er and elected term after term to congress as a Demre crat. Mr. Davey, of Louisiana, who voted for the tariff bill in the house, is a native of Louisiana, held various offi.-es in the state as a Democrat and was elected to congress as such. Mr. Broussar 1. of Louisiana, has held manv p « itio r s in Louisiana under the Dem- ocratic party, and was elected to oon- gress as a Democrat. Mr. Kleberg, of Texas, who vote-1 for the bill in the , house is a native of that state, served in the Confederate army, was elected to the » u te srnate in 1662. held a fed eral office as a Dem«XTat by appoint ment of President Cleveland, and was elected to congress a« a D-nns-rat.
