A survey convinced him that all hope of making any break in the continuous course of the extra nud regular sessions must be abandoned. It is now conceded that general legislation will be entered upon in the extra session and the tariff con sideration must run along under all these disad vantageous stances. It is understood that Mr. Carlisle now contemplates going into circum- “re- treat” for a month or so in order to bring his mind uninterruptedly to the consideration of tariff questions. The expectation of Chairman Wil- of the committee on appropriations and ways and means matters, and when the rew rules were being considered today M: Springer, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, sudde:ly sprung an amendment extending the same favoriteism to the cousmit tee on banking and currency. Mr. Kilgore followed with an amend- ment also including the committee on coinage, and although these amendments were sharply opposed privileged | the last was adopted by a vote of 133 yeas t6 95 nays, and the original rule ag amended was adoptel by a by a vote of nearly 2 to 1. Not until it was all over did the House generally realize the immense victory gained by the bimetallists. Under this rule the committee on coinage cat report a silver bill at any time and force ation by the House, and the committee ou banking and currency will have the its consider: son is that his committee will havea tariff bill ready for the consideration of the house by October 1, but not before. A very urgent question which may be forced to the front at an early date is the necessity for makivg pro vision to put money into the treas- ury to weet current obligations of the government. There is a defi ciency of about 10 millions in sight and the revenues are running behind the expenditurea to the amount of $300,000 a day. Itis obvious some method must be devised to check or meet this. The alternatives before congress seem to be limited to three. First, a new issue of government bond+; second, an income tax or some other new impost; or third, an increase of rate in one or more of the Rigid economy in appropriations will not suffice to meet the difficulty. The fix- edand unavoidable expenditures of the government are at the present moment in excess of its existing forms of taxation. neome. The Ex-Cohtederates.

Incidentally, also, the House, by these rules, bas brokeu away from the committee on rules presided over by Speaker Crisp, and declared it will no longer be in the power of that committee in deter mining if free coiuage bills shall be accorded recognition The roll call of the House today shows that many who voted for the Wilson bill supported these amendments thus justifying their declarations that they are in favor of bimetallism, but voted for the immediate repeal of the purchasing act as a means of restoring confidence. Among those who voted was Mr. Springer, the originator of the movement today carried out by the house, giying the right of way to silver legislation.

Minneapolis Journal. That the American negro is eager for education is ro longer a subject of dispute. A desire for intellectual betterment has become a character- istic of the race, and the percentage of negroes in public schools and academies is astonishing to one who has not made a study of the develop- ment of the race siuce emancipation. A recent report of the National As- sociation for the Education of Coler- ed Youth presents some interesting statistics.

Robbed In His Office. Wichita, K 31.—One of the most daring robberies ever coms mitted in this city, not excepting the recent express robbery, was commit- ted to-night, at 9:30 a’clock, on Main street, on the ground floor of one of the most prominent office buildings. Gerald Volk, the local manager of the Kellogg Newspaper Union, was in his office arranging his bills for cdllection to merrow when, without warning, a robber, or robbers who stole up bebhiud bim, chloformed him and then tied him to his desk. They went through the safe and took all the money there was in it, the exact amount of which is vot known. They then went through his pockets and took something over $100 in eash, a gold watch valued $175. In addition to this they took a diamond pin valued at $350 aud a very hand- some diamond ring, the exact value of which could not be learned. Mr. Volks’ wrists, which were tied with the rope, are badly cut, anda hitch being taken around his neck he almost strangled when found shortly after 10 o'clock by the watch min of the building. The office which he occupied was in the busi- ness center and directly opposite the Occidental hotel. There is uo clue to the robbers, but the entire policy force has been detained to search the city for them. picion that the robbers wight have gone out on the Missouri Pacific train which left the depot one block away, fifteen minutes after the rob- bery had been committed. tan., Aug.
