Wilson’s Old Stand, & mare Senator Tillman Would Fix It at $100 Each. Animated Discussion With Mr. Chand- ler Regarding the Politics of the Late President. The Senate completed the lead para- graphs in the tariff bill yesterday after- noon. Toward the close of the day there was an interesting semi-serious colloquy between Senator Tillman and Senator Chandler. Mr. Tillman offered a proposition that there shall be collected a head tax of $100 on all immigrants coming to the United States by land or water. “That it shall be a misdemeanor, punish- able by fine or imprisonment, for any alien who dees not intend to become an Ameri- can citizen, or who retains his citizenship in a foreign country, to enter the United States for the purpese of engaging in any mechanical trade or manual labor within the borders thereof: Provided, That this section and the cne immediately preceding shall only remain of force until silver shall be admitted to our mints for coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 on the same conditions with gold.” He gave the extent of the slum element in New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other cities, and said that showed where the big republican majcrities came from last year. The senator dealt more in statistics than usual, although he added the characteristic vehemence of voice and gesture to his re- marks. He closed with a gloomy prediction that if the tide of immigration was not turned back the country would be torn by revolution and blocdshed, and a repetition of the Paris commune. Mr. Chandler briefly responded to the South Cafelina senator, and asked why it was that the immigration bill passed by re- publican majorities in the last Congress had been defeated. “Because your republican President, Grover Cleveland, vetoed it,” shouted Mr. Tillman. Amid the laughter Mr. Chandler protest- ed against having Mr. Cleveland designated a republican, when the senator from South Carolina (Tillman) had joined other demo- crats in electing that President as a deino- crat. “Yes,"" observed Mr. Tillman, while the galleries roared, “I ask forgiveness for that and promise, so help me God, I'll never do it again.” Mr. Chandler went on te say that the failure of the only recent amendment to the immigration laws was caused by a demo- cratic President. “And the senator should have turned the tines.of his pitchfork on Grover Cleveland and left the republican party for another day,” continued the senator in droll tones. Here Mr. Tillman insisted on “ tting himself straight on Grover Cleveland,” and in spite of protests he proceeded rapidly to assert that in 1892 he went to the national convention at the head of the South Caro- lino delegation, after the state convention had declared Mr. Cleveland to be a “pros- titute of democracy.” Mr. Chandler here interposed a protest, and with mock seriousness convulsed the Senate by refusing to yield longer. “TI cannot permit,” he said, “such lan- guage against the President of the sena- tor’s party.” He would yield only in case the South Carolina senator adopted his usual cour- teous and respectful style toward the late President. Mr. Tillman started to review the circum- stances of his support of Mr. Cleveland, and in conclusion sald: “I hope the sena- tor will not twit me again for having made a fool of myself once.” Mr. Chandler, continuing his mock se- rious manner, insisted that now that the President was gone the members of the democratic party were responsible for all his acts, good and bad. The senator was speedily involved in another colloquy with Mr. Tillman, during which the South Caro- lina senator referred to Mr. Chandler as “you.” “I must object to this unparliamentary action,” interposed Mr. Chandler, ‘as the senator's direct use of ‘you’ frightens me more than he is aware “I have no pitchfork,” called back Mr. Tillman, who added that he recognized Mr. Chandier’s purpose to ridicule him. The vote was then taken on Mr. Tillman’s amendments, and they were rejected, 3-4 ihe three votes in the affirmative Wer Butler, Quay ard TiJlman. —___—+«+_-__—_ THE FIRST MINNESOTA. Its Daring Charge at Gettysburg Com- me ated in Granite and Bronze, The monument erected by the state ot Minnesota cn the battlefield of Gettysburg, in commemoration cf the heroism of the ist Minnesota Infantry, at the “battle of Gettysburg, July 2, 1863, will be dedicated with much ceremony on the thirty-fourth anniversary of the event, next Friday. ‘rhe monument was erected some three or tour years ago ut a cost of $20,000, and is a magnificent pile of granite and bronze. It was designed by Judge William Loch- ran, €x-commissioner of pensions, who was a member of Company E of the 1s‘ Minne- sota Regiment, and it perpetuates the memory ot one of the most remarkable in- cidents of devotion and bravery shown during the war of the rebellion. At Gettys- burg, the afternoon of July 2, 1863, eight companies of the Ist Minnesota Infantry, numbering in all 262 men, were ordercd by Gen. W. S. Hancock to charge an advanc- ing confederate column, which was in pur- suit of the retiring forces of Gen. Sickles. The result was that the Minnesotans sut- fered a loss in killed and wounded of 215 men, and there was not a man “missing.” This terrible sacrifice had the effect ot checking the onslaught of the confederates and enabling the gallant commander of the second corps to strengthen his line, thus defeating the cnemy’s flanking movement to gain pessession of Little Round ‘Top, which wis the key to the federal position. It has frequently been declared by those familiar with this magnificent charge that it saved the day for the Union cause. The monument stands upon the site of this charge, at the crest of the gentle slope down which it was started. The governor of Minnesota and his staff, as well as the congressional delegation from that state, will attend the dedicatory exercises. All the survivers of the regi- ment are expected to be present. The legis- latur2 of Minnesota appropriated the sum of $5,000 to pay for the transportation of the members of the regiment to Gettys- burg, and all their subsistence en route and while there. J. A. Hill, the western railroad magnate, has donated the use of a train of elegant sleepers for the trip of the Minnesota party. Tlere are three survivors of this engagemer t in Washingtcn, all of them be- ing comrades of Encampment No. 23 of the Union Veteran Legion. Two of them— Messrs. Orville D. Thatcher and Henry C. Bradley—vere members of Company &, and th: other—John M. Churchill—was a member of Company I. They will leave for Gettysburg tomorrow morning. ss A Tower Two Tho d Feet High. From the New York Journal. William J. Frye, an architect of this city, has dragyn plans for a tower to commemo- rate the €onsolidation of Greater New York. The proposed tower is to be 2,140 feet in height, in all respects the most wonderful structure in the world. The Eiffel tower in Paris is 984 feet in height, or less than half the height of the proposed observatory tower for New York. The tower is to be twelve-sided and built of steel. The lowest portion will be 300 feet in diameter and will be flanked by four pa- vilion buildings, giving the structure a base of 400 fect. The outer walls will be of ce- ment and wirecloth. Internally the tower will be a labyrinth of steel columns, girders, beams, plates and other shapes in steel, no Particle of wood being used in construction or finish. Electric cars with reserved motor power of compressed air will run spirally around the 100 foot central area, making a trip to the fifth floor from the top about a two-and-a-half-mile ride.

The- RES: sioyets «Indian affairs has learned of a remarkable condition existing on the Vermillion-Lake reservation in Min- nesota. The Indians of this reservation, like most of the spd men, are fond of fire- water, but, onjother reservations, it is the duty of the™ nt to see that they have access to nothing that will cause intoxica- tion. The iftventfye genius of the human tribe can’ bejjcall into power in no more forcible maaner Shan by the cravings of the stomach for licuor. This has been shown in the casg of the Indians, who are veritable YankeeS in inventing means for getting drunk. The Indians of the’ Ver- million Lake reservation have discovered that the estence ‘of peppermint, dispensed in little ounce bottles for the use of house- wives in the preparation of dainty pastry and other edibles, will produce a glorious exhilaration. The same effect can be se- cured with nearly all of the essences used in the culinary art. But the essence of Peppermint especially has a most disastrous effect upon the eyesight, and the result of its use by the Vermillion Lake reservation Indians is that several of them, while in the prime of health, became totally blind as the result of a single spree. John Sky, aged forty, an Indian buck of athletic pro- Portions, lately went on a peppermint drunk. After he had been under the in- fluence of this essence a number of hours he complained that objects about him ap- peared to be a long way off, and that the sun was losing its power. He was told that it was midday, but he complained that it was getting darker and darker. The op- tic nerve was shattered. John Sky has ever since lived in total darkness. Another case is that of Red Otter, aged forty-five, and in perfect health. Red Ot- ter, with two other Indians, went into the fcrest with two dozen bottles of essence of peppermint, which their squaws would have prized for flavoring sweet bread. The three bucks proceeded to flavor themselves with the peppermint. It was night and Red Otter called upon his companions to know what had become of the moon and where all the stars had gone. He was told that the moon and the stars were shining in the heavens, but all was darkness to him. He rad imbibed of the peppermint more freely than had his companions and is now totai- ly blind. Two other Indians of the reserva- tion are partially blind from the same cause, and the Indian agent has written to the department to know if he will be al- lowed money with which to take these blind red men to St. Paul, where their eyes may be examined with a view to restoring their sight. _It is said that the Indians not only get drunk on cooking essences, but they have even resorted to red ink in order to get in- toxicated. In some cases they have been known to drirk the alcohol in which nat- ural specimens have been preserved. In fact, so dear to the red man is the effect of firewater that he will resort to almost any expedient in order to enjoy the rare pleasure of a jag. ——————+ o+____ FLEET EXERCISES. Arrangements for the Maneuvers of the North Atlantic Vessel Arrangements are being made at the Navy Department for the summer and fall maneuvers of the vessels of the North ‘At- lantic squadron. There will be no extensive movements, but they will be put through @ course of flect’ exercises lasting several weeks. Seven armored ships will take part, namely, the Massachusetts, the Iowa, the Indiana, the Maine, the New York, the Texas and the Bruoklyn. These ships will act together in ong squadron. Most of the drilling is expected to take place some- where off the:Cheasapeake capes. In addition to the fleet of ironclads there will be a torpedo Boat flotilla. These little boats this year will not co-operate with the fleet of btg ships, but will go through evolutions of*thelt own. They will scour along the coast ‘from New York down- ward. and it’s hoped to get them well up the Mississippi rivér,where no warship save the Ericsson on her way down from her builders has been ‘seen since the war. The naval authoritics Intend that the people in the interior of the country shall see these little but dangerous craft, and that is one of the reasons why they will be sent up Mississippi. ie ise hoped also to estal vailal the action of such ratte su ie so GREATER NEW YORK CHURCHES. A Total of 1,115 Places of Worshi With Seating Capacity of 750,000.” From the Now York Sun. On and after January 1, 1897, Brooklyn will cease to hold unchallenged its title of “the City of Churches,” and the Greater New York will succeed to its supremacy in that respect. There are 559 churches in New York city, 449 in Brceoklyn, 54 on Staten Island, and 54 in the part of Queens county to be annexed to the Greater New York after. January 1, Long Island City included, making a total of 1,115 places of worship in the Greater New York. There are eighty-nine Catholic churches in New York city, 78 in Brooklyn, 7 on Staten Island and 11 in Queens county towns. There are 85 Episcopal churches in New York, 54 in Brooklyn, 12 on Staten Island and 10 in Queens county, or, at least, in that portion ef Queens county included in the Greater New York. There are 68 Methodist churches in New York, 70 in Brooklyn, 9 on Staten Island and & in the Queens county towns. There are 58 Presbyterian churches in New York, 37 in Brooklyn, 2 on Staten Island and 4 in the Queens county towns. There are 52 Baptist churches in New York, 44 in Brooklyn, 6 on Staten Island and 5 in the Queens county towns. There are 31 Luth- eran churches in New York, 36 in Brook- lyn, 3 on Staten Island and 5 in the Queens county towns. There are 11 Con- gregational churches in New York, 20 in Brooklyn and 1 in Queens county. It will be observed that the Methodists, the Lutherans and the Congregationalists (the last decidedly so) have more church- es in Brooklyn than they have in the city of New York. Relatively there are fewer Catholics and Episcopalians in Brooklyn than there are in New York city. There are 54 Jewish synagogues in New York, 16 in Brooklyn and 1 on Staten Island, a total of 71 in the Greater New York. ‘There are four Moravian churches on Staten Island and 3 Reformed Dutch churches. The number of Reformed Dutch churches in New York is 30, and in Brook- lyn 29, bringing up the total in the new city to G2. There are 2 Quaker meeting houses in New York, 2 in Brooklyn and 1 in Flushing. There are 3 Unitarian churches in New York, 4 in Brooklyn and lon Staten Island. There are 3 Universal- fee churches in New York and 5 in Brook- lyn. The minor religious divisions are much more generally represented in the latter than in the former city. There are meet- ing places in Brooklyn of Latter Day Saints, of the Second Adventists, of the Seventh Day ‘Adventists, of the Christian Scientists, ofthe +Household of Faith and of the Christian ‘Evangelists. There are three Swede! rs churches in the city of Brooklyn apd orie Swedenborgian church in New York!There are, besides, one Rus- sian-Greek ‘church in New York and a number of missiogrehapels which are difti- cult to place,among the church eongrega- tion of New York with accuracy. There are, besides, nino congregations, the Ma- ronite Catholt cWurch in New York and another congregation, the status of which has given risesin the past to controversy— “the Hebrew «Christian church.” A total of 1,115 places of}iworship in one city is certainly Reo ey when it is taken into consideration;tha$ the total population of the new citys 3800,000, or at the rate of one church to every 3,000 inhabitants, a very large prppordion in a city.

The e tire amount of seeds distributed were suffi- cient to plant an area of 355 square miles, or about six times the size of the District of Columbia. z This is the largest distribution of seed ever attempted by the Department of Agri- culture, and it is said that seedmen all over the country are complaining that they do not make sales to farmers and others because they are getting all the sced they want free from the Department of Agri- culture. The distribution of seed in 1893 amounted to 8,800 packages for each member of Con- gress, at a total cost of $66,548: in IN} each congressman got 16,000 packages, the entire cost to the government being $57,000; in 1895 the number of packages of seeds distributed was the same as in the previous year, but the total cost was reduced to $47,- 00. . In 1896 congressmen got 15,000 pack- ages each, and the government paid $80,500 for the whole lot. During the past spring each member of Congrézs has received 40,000 packages of seeds, for which the gov- ernment has paid $130,000. es He Got His Raise. From the Cleveland Leader. Employer (gruffiy). Well, sir, if you can give me any good reason why I should raise your salary, I'll do it. Clerk. I have worked here faithfully, g.ving you the very best I've had in me, and, I think, doing a good deal to build up the business. Employer (more gruffly). Yes, I s'pose you have. At all events you think you have. But a young man in your position is always more or less inclined to get an exaggerated idea of his importance. There are a dozen other clerks in this establish- ment who have labored just as zealous! and some of them longer than you have, but they have not asked for increased pay, although none of them is getting a cent more than you are. Clerk. Then, too, your wife came in here yesterday and got to searching around in your desk. Employer (excitedly). Well, well, did she find anything? Did she discover the pig- eon-hole in which I keep my private corre- spcndence? Why in thunder did I go out and leave my desk open? By George, I thought semebody had been monk: ne around here—and the desk was shut when I got back. I remember now. She acted suspicious of me last night, too. Well, weli, well, what— Clerk. Pardon me, I was going to ex- plain. Just as she had found the pigeon- hole referred to I told her that there was a lady out in front who wished to see her. Of course there wasn’t, but the place was full of women, and while she was iriquiring around, I pulled down the top of the desk and sneaked out. Of course I don’t know anything at all. I’m just an ordinary hand here, willing to do my best and never prying into other people's affairs. When he oper.ed his envelope on Satur- day he found that the raise had been granted. A Pair of Welcome Office Seekers. From the Omaha Bee. Ex-Governor Thatcher of Colorado tells this: “I had been in charge of my office but a few days when I received one day a large bear that had been recently killed, accompanied by a note telling me that it was ‘mighty fine bar meat.’ This note did rot give the name of the giver. A few days later a dozen wild turkeys arrived at the executive mansion. The next gift was a-large box of fine mountain trout, along with some fresh berries. By this time I was a little curious, but had no way of learning who they came from. One day I received an extra large box. There was a large cake, some pies, bread, jams and jel- ly, and with small pieces of different mea’ finely cooked. This time the note informed me the unknown would call on me in a few days.. I was anxious to see the person and when one Saturday a iong-baired man from the mountains came in I was somewhat surprised. ‘Well, governor, what do you think of my ability as a hunter and of my wife as cook?’ asked the stranger. Without any more talk he said he wanted the job of furnishing my household with fresh meats and his wife wanted the position of cook. As they had shown their abilities I ve them the positions at once. He never failed to keep a good supply of meats on hand, and his wife furnished good home cooking. If all the office seekers were like that man a government official's life would be a happy one.” blood. $4 values.
