Washington, D.C., Ju'y 3.—The end ot the extra teation is not yet in sight. Preri tent McKinley's pre dictions of a tariff bill before July 4 have co ue to grief, and it will prob ably b+ the last week in Ju'y before adjournuent comes. A strong ef- fort will be made by Senator Ald- rich to f 1e~ a vote Wedneeday next in ths Sen«te. He wants to do this so that the house may have the measure when it conveuves Thursday. If be is successful, the bill will be in conference by July 8. Not more than ten days will be required to complete it there, but that will ran the seesion to July 18, with a pros pect of three cr four days’ additional stay. While the bill has been gone over once, there remains several perplex- ing problems. The proposition to levy a tax of 2 cents per share upon all transfers of stock cr bonds is not yet acted on. Despite opposition from all the stock exchanges of the country, the Republicans must force adoption of this amendment. With out it the bill will fall $3,000,000 short of the needed revenue, and with it the deficiency will be reducad to probably $20,000,000. The amendment for a bounty of 14 cents per pound on beet sugar, which was presented by the finance committee and then withdrawn, will have to ba voted on. Senator Allen of Nebraska insists that a vote sball be taken. Senator Chilton of Texas and Senator Pettus of Alabama are equally firm upon the anti-trust amendment. The Senate Republi: cans will he playing in luck if they get the bill to the House Wednes- day night. The tariff bill has gone over uatil Monday and all efforts to fix the time for a final vote in the Senate have proved futile When the Sen- ate met today there was some hope that the final vote would be reached to-night, but this was speedily dis- pelled by the atorm occasioned when Mr. Allison reported a new amend. ment from the finance committee, giving a bounty of one-quarter of a cent a pound on beet sugar from beets grown in the United States. Lightning in a Mime. Sbamokin, Pa, July 4.--Charles Rutz and William Rutz, Eli Dreber William Bleck were struck by light- ning last night while workiog in the Reliance mine, 1,000 feet beneath the surfece. They were all render ed unconscious, and Charles Rutz was speecblese, while Dreher’s left arm was paralyzed after he had come to. Lightning struck at the head of the slope and followed the rails to the bottom and out to face of the gangway, where the men were at work. The workmen say that the dark chambers were brilliautly illu- minated as the lightning bolt rushed toward them, and, supposing that mine gas bad exploded, they threw themselyes on their faces. They are stiff and sore to-day, but feel no other effects of their thrilling ex- | perience. Twisting Storms in Minnesota. Minneapolis, Minn.

Serious Tax Riots in Spain. | London, July 4—A dispatch to the “Daily Mail” Spain, states that a buge crowd, | consisting largely of women, assem- | bled to-day at Albacete, Province of | Murcia, and, armed with sticks and} spades, made an attack upon and sacked the octroi offices, where are collected the taxes upon provisions, etc, entering the town. Then the mob sprinkled petroleum about the offices and set fira to them. They also destroyed the central revenue office and stoned and beat the offi- cials. The polica were powerless to quell the riot, and were overpowered by the mob. Troops were then summoned to restore order. ¢ There bas also been a riot at Cor- dova growing out of the collection of taxes. A crowd numbering thousands of persons attacked the town hall. Police were dispatched to the scene in strong force, but it was not until re-enforcements had been sent to them that they were able to restore order. Many arrests were made. It is cfficially announced to-day that a general strike of miners be- longing to the United Mine Workers of America in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Illinois had been ordered for July 4 by the national executive board and also by the district presidente, as the re- sult of the meeting held here June 24,25 and 26. The strike order af- fects probably 375,600 men. Pittsburg, Pa., July 3.—The greatest labor struggle in the his- tory of the country is on. In addi- tion to the 200,000 coal miners who have been ordered to ceass work on July 4, the indications now are the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, numbering fully 225,000, will strike in the en- deavor to enforce their demand for an increase in wages. The advance demanded by the miners amounts to nearly 10 cents per ton. While Columbus. Ohio, is head- quarters of the Miaers’ Union, the great strike will be directed from Pittsburg, and this city will be the pivotal point. President Ratchford wired to President Garland of the Amalgam- ated Aasociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, notifying him of the coming national strike and asking fcr support. President Garland wired back that the iron and steel workers would do everything possi- ble in their efforts to help the miners in their struggle for living wages. So far as reports have been ree ceived from the various states affecte] by the crder to cease work, the leaders are hopeful that the or- der will bs ob2yed and the cessation will be general. It is probable from indications now that the strike wil! extend to the coal fields of Iowa, Alabama, Maryland and Tennessee. Precautions have been taken to in- duce the men to refrain from vio- lence and avoid conflicts with the county aad state authorities. But it is not improbable that the riotous ecenes of other strikes in the coal fields nay b> repeated before the close of the present struggle. i from Madrid, | Outrage at Wichita. Wichita, Kan., July 3.—The most vicious crime in the history of this city was attempted here last vight at 11:30. While Mise Rosa Seaman, ahighly respected white gir), was passing along the street, yoing home from a near neighbor's, she was accosted by five negroes. She attempted to rup, but the brutes caught her and a terrific struggle ensued She ecreamed for help twice, but was choked to silence by the fiends who had assailed her. The noise of the struggle attraci- ed attention and two or three nsigh- bors ran to see what the trouble was. The negroes fled at the firet approach of help and disappeared among the cars in the Santa Fe yards. found she was in an uaconscious condition and her clothes torn from her body. Officers started in pur- euit and one of the crimina's, named John Scraggs, was caught. He was hustled off to jail before violence |could be offered. There is much ex- \citement and talk of summary exe- cution. Miss Seaman is about 18 State Supreme Court Elects Officers.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four: hours; asediment or settling indicates: an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it is: ositive evidence of kidney trouble. ‘oo frequent desire to urinate or yaim in the back, is also convineing proof that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passages. It corzects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that up- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of iho! 3 Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medi- cine you should have the best.
