A SHARP DEBATE. SILVER SENATORS OUTWIT REPUBLI- | CANSON THE DIGLEY BILL. The Populist Senators of Nebraska Moves I to Take up the Deferred Tarlil" fllll for Aotlou aud Hring* ou a Dlncusslon. Washington, Dec. 9.?The Dingley bill was brought under discusston after the calendar had been disposed of, by a request from Mr. Allen for unanimous consent to have the bill taken up for consideration. fm Objection was made by Mr. Aldrich aK Rep., of Rhode Island in the phrase, "Let it $o over." Mr. Allen moved jSW-"" that the bill be taken up, notwithstanding the objection." "Let the bill Ss; be read," said Mr. Piatt, "so that the jjV Sejaate may know what it is voting bill was thereupon read in full, jS| vtath the free silver substitute reported fo* it last session from the finance H ctytnmittee. */After the reading Mr. Aldrich with^^P^rew his objection to take up the bill and the objection was renewed by Mr. Palmer, Dem., of Illinois. S[ Mr. Allen desired to m-ko a brief statement, W^^&tion was made and j " Qav.a4a 4rv ttj-vf/* VvTT TTOQC m uio pruvccucu k\j v uw mj j ii*- - and nays on the motion to take up the 1 bill. The motion was adopted by a vote of 35 to 21. The bill having been taken up, Mr, > _^r?Tdrich moved that the bill be recommitted to the finance committee with instruction to report it back without amendment. Mr. Harris declared his opposition to the instructions and after some dis... cussion Mr. Aldrich withdrew that part of his motion. Mr. Chandler, Rep., of New Hampshire reminded Mr. Allen that the people had decided in the recent election that they would not have the free coinage of silver alone, and that if the free silver substitute were voted down the Senate could so on and act oh the Dingley bill proper. He asked whether Mr. Allen would give his vote for the bill without the free silver amendment. Would he help to remove the obstruction to tha passage of the bill? Mr. Allen denied having said that he would help to remove any obstruction to the passage of the Dingley bill. He had saia that so far as he was concerned no obstruction should be placed in its way. He did not regard the question of free silver as having been settled at the last election. It was a very important question and had had 6,000,000 votes in its favor. He did not believe that the country could receive relief from any kind of a tariff act. Prosperity could not be brought to the country by increasing the burdens of taxation on articles which the psonle consumed. He wa3 so thor ougnly convinced of that fact that he ?^^<j7anted to see his Republican friends get into the saddle as soon as possible. But he did not believe that they wanted to revise the tariff. "Then why^not co-opeiate with us," Mr. Chandler asked, "and get frae silver off this bill?" "I will co-operate with the senator ana His party," Mr. Allen rejoined, "in my own way. It is not necessary for me to bow my head and wear a Republican yoke and follow the dictation of the Republican party, and 1 will not do it I will say, however, that no obstruction in the nature of dilatory tactics, so far as I am concerned, will be put in the way of tak' ing up and considering a tariff measure at an early day." "We can pass this bill in 15 minutes," said Mr. Aldrich, "if the senator and his friends will allow us to do it" "Will you present to the Senate and the country," Mr. Allen asked, "a tariff bill that you will consent to be bound by for the next four years?at this session of congress?" i This inquiry elicited laughter among Republican senators and shouts of "No." "My question," Mr. Allen resumed, k "provokes almost universal laughter | on that side of the chamber. You said f to the country this fall, that you would, at the first moment, take up r the tariff question and settle it, and now you laugh when your attention is called to it. What is there in the tariff question that would require congress to spend six or seven months in an extraordinary session to consider it? Why not introduce the McKinley bill, the panacea for all evils, and have it reported here within the nest 10 days and passed within the next 60 days? Do you want to threaten the pfmntroroifh an ortwinivliniinr soscinn of congress? Do you want to sit here 90 days practically idle, and let the country suffer when you have it within your power to put a tariff bill on its passage and have it discussed intelligentlyt" "Let me ask the senator," Mr. Aldrich broke in, "whether he t*;ill vote i "u:n t at. - i lor una uui aa it uame lrum iue uuuso of representatives or for the McKinley or for any other bill that may be presented by the Republicans, now, or at any other time?" ''No," said Mr. Allen, "I will not vote for this bill in its present shape. You can, however, put it in such shape that I can vote for if, and that other senators can vote for it who are not members of your party." "Does the senator see," saiJ^ Mr. Hale, Rep., of Maine, now breaking s. into the colloquy, "that it is an en^ tirely different thing to ask the Repub"x lican party, which is in a minority # \ here?as it clearly is?to take up and A \ consider and perfect a general bill, when the conditions are expected to be entirely changed in congress? The \ Republican party expects to have an \ absolute majority in the senate then." 1 "Where will you get your majority 1 from?" Mr. Allen queried. J "I say," repeated Mr. Hale, "that the Republican party expects to have a Republican majority in the senate next congress." gflgjl "Expects I" Mr. Allen echoed with a sneer. jgftflL "Then," Mr. Hale went on, "we can BnMKtake up a general tariff bill ;and I have BEBBtee^ml^that we will. All that we ask Mij|jHBg|fflBl^M?assage of the Diogley bill, B^^^^BS^M^mporary measure, a meastended to endow a Dewith enough housekeeping bills the senator and H^EMffiSBrafiESmn^wvor of it a vote j3BBaw8Bawm further from Rhode motion to WBWMMEffi on the ^ad. go "Why is not the senator ready to agree to that?" he asked. "Does he not see that the Republican party in this senate is not, as it hopes to be in the next congress, able to report a general tariff revision bill?" "I believe," was Mr. Allen's comment on this point, "that the Republican party is in better shape than it will be in the next congress. (Laugh-1 ter.) Continuing Mr. Hale expressed his belief that in the next congress Republican senators would be able to report a general tariff bill which they could not do now. Bat they were ready to come to a vote at once on the Dinglev bill?lirst on the proposition for free coinage of silver; and if that were voted down, on the house bill. While the discussion was still in progress the morning hour expired and the whole matter went over without action. It does not come up again tomorrow under any rule of the senate, but the motion to take up the bill and proceed to its consiuerauuu m?y be made at any time. TERRORIZED BY TRAMPS. Hoboes Hold Up a Town In True Western Style. New Yokk, Dec. 10.?Ali New Rochelle, so to speak, stood at its guns last night. Monday night a gang of tramps held up the town in true Western style, and as a result there was not a man in the town yesterday who didn't admit that he was afraid there would be a repetition of the raid last night. New Rochelle has long been a favorite stopping place for tramps bound for New England. The town force of hlup-noats is onlv six strong:, so it is easy prey for the hoboes. An average of twenty tramps are rounded up every week even by this meagre force, and once during the height of the tramp traveling season this autumn sixty were put in the lockup in two days. Things have been rather quiet of late and the peaceful suberbanites and commoutors did not expect anything like a concerted raid. Those tramps were nothing if not bold. They reached town at dusk and began their work at once, not in quiet by-streets, but in Main street, the heart of the business quarter. "Gimme an overcoat, an' be blame quick about it!" yelled a frowsy, tattered individual, bursting into the clothing store of Samuel Cohen at No. 327 Main street. "If you don't I'll smash the whole place up 1" Cohen yelled; his wife screamed. Upstairs lives a policeman, and the shop keeper lost no time in leaving his wife to face the tramp while he i 1.1 mL. i summoned neip. jluo iramp uiuu i wait for his coat but disappeared down the street, while two other hoboes who nad kept guard outside made off too. Smash, crash, bang! It was a stone ripping through the window of the home of Mr. Wells in Home Park. A second later in piled a grimy tramp, who knocked over table and chairs, yelling for money. The family was sitting in the next room. He didn't frighten them for a cent, and when they made a concerted rush for the intruder he got out quicker than he came in. Robbery was holding high carnivt^ down on Main street all this time." William Weinstein had a case of rubbers stolen from under his nose. Two silk waists were taken from the counter of a dry goods store. Butchers and grocers were streaming into the police station and telling of sudden onslaughts by hoboes, who made off with whatever they could lay their hands on. Other people were complaining that the hoboes had been holding up passers-by and demanding money. Altogether the town was de uiurttiiLCU. "Catch him! He's run off with a coatl" cried a small boy, running into the clothing store of another Cohen at No- 243 Main street. 1 'I'd have told before but he said he'd kill me I" Sure enough, there was a tramp making off with one of Cohen's $20 overcoats. He couldn't be caught Then the other Cohen up the street had another visit from tramps. They demanded hats all arround on pain of demolishing tbe place, but they were frightened off. At 11 p. m. a strapping big fellow walked into Meyer b. mthan s notei No. 145 Huguenot street, woke Mr. Nathan, who was dozing in a chair, and roared "Gimme a drink; 1 11 hock my shoes for it I" Nathan was thoroughly terrorized and handed out a glass of beer. Then the fellow began to curse everybody and started to cleau out the place. Nathan got back his courage, and with the aid of his waiter threw out the invader, who put up a stiff fight. The next minute a stone came crashing through his $125 plate-glass window. "Help!" yelled Nathan, and the tramp was arrested and locked up after half the force bound him hand and foot. He was James Gordon, twentveiffht years old leader of the gang. He said that he was from Albany, and that he' been drinking acohol. The police got Fritz Miller, Mount Veinon; James Bybee, of Cincinnati, and John Kenney, of No. 3 Laight street, New York City. Gordon was identified as the man who had broken into Mrs. WellesV house, and yesterday Justice Lambden fined him $50 and sent him to jail for six months. The others got fiftynine days apiece in the Westchester County jail at White Plains. All day long the tradespeople talked of their adventures. Then they polished up their old guns and pistols, prepared to stand any sort of a raid.? New York World. KUled His Assailants. Paris, Tex., Dec. 10.?A double killing occured in Pontotoc county, Chickasaw Nation, Tuesday night. A man had been running a whiskey joint in that place, but was about to close out and quit the country to evade the oilicers. Two men, named Edward and Stanton, concluded that he had a considerable amount of money and went to this place for the purpose of robbery, but their intended victim killed them both and made his escape. Nothing Much After All.?Here! is what the average young man or woman weighing 154 pounds is composed of: Six pounds of water, three pounds albumen, not quite a pound of glue, thirty-four and a half pounds of fat, eight and a quarter pounds of phosphate of lime, a pound of carbonate of lime, three ounces of sugar and starch, seven ounces of calcium, six ounces of phosphate of magnesia, and just salt enough to prevent the mixture from spoiling. Some of 'em have also a good deal of brass. L '' rX 's CLEMSON'S FIRST GRADUATES. Liist of the Members of the Class and their Theses.

Washington, Dec. 9.?The general conference of silver leaders will be held here December 15 to prepare plans for the campaigns of 1900. General Warner, President of the Bimetallic League, will call the meeting to order and William J. Btyan will be permanent chairman. Gen. Warner will within a few days issue a formal call for the gathering. Among the senators who will attend are Butler, Allen and Kyle, Populists; Jones, of Arkansas; Vest, Cockrell and Harris. Democrats: Stewart and Jones, of Nevada, Silverites, and Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Mantle, Republicans. Many others'are expected. The proposition to mobilize all those friendly to silver under a new party name does not meet with much i'avor from the Democratic Senators, who say the vote of their party has been greater than the combined silver elements of all other parties, and that the fight should be continued under the name of Democracy. Southern Democrats are also said to object to a party name. The Populisls seem inclined to adopt any name that promises success. The Republicans are more favorable than any others to the formation of a new party. It is admitted in all quarters that Mr. Bryan will dominate the conference, it being accepted that he will be the Presidential nominee in 1900. A Convenient Invention. An Orangeburg farmer comes to the front with a new invention in the shape of a Lubricator for oiling vehicle wheels without taking thera off the axle. It is inserted in the hub between two of the spokes. When you want to grease your wheel all you have to do is to withdraw a plunger, which operates with a spring, and put as much oil as is needed on the axle. Upon being released the spring closes up the oil hole until it is opened for oiling up again. It is a very ingenious and clever device, and is bound to be used generally. With these lubricators a vehicle can be oiled up anywhere along the road in less than one minute. The patent for this valuable invention is owned by the National Lubricator Company of Orangeburg, S. C. Mr. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and Proprietor of the Orangeburg Times and'Democrat, is the manager of the company, which is a guarantee that it is all right. The company wants an agent in this county to sell the Lubricators. See advertisement in another column. J J Death of Gen. Maceo. Hah ana, Dec. 10.?Dr. Maximo Zartucha, who was formerly General s Antonio Maceo's physician, has surrendered to Col. Tort at San Felipe and confirms the reports of the rebel y leader's death, which occurred at 2 p. c m. on Dec. 7, in the engagement lie- j tween the rebels under Maceo and the Spanish troops under Major Cirujecla. t Maceo received one bullet, which penetrated his head, breaking bis jaw, and passed out at the union of the neck and the shoulder, and was also wounded by another shot which struck him in the stomach. Another attempt was made this morning to discover what 8 disposition has been made of the rebel leader's body. A delegation of corres- , pondents ofthefDreign Dress and re- j porters of the local newspapers have <: gone in the direction of Hoyo Colorado e to make an investigation in that vicini- c ty, where it is believed the body was ( buried. It was rumored in Habana last night that if the body should be J! found, it would be brought to this j city. Up to the time of sending this t disDatch^this evening nothing has ] been "learned of the whereabouts of Mac<5o's body and nothing further has j transpired to confirm the reports of ? his death.

The steamer Magel- ( lanes has left here for Meriel and is at ] General Weyler's disposal. said to be false. New York, Dec. 10.?The Cuba,ns in New York do not believe that Maceo is dead. As soon as Gen. Thomas Estrada, Palma heard the report he telegraphed to his private informant at Key West and this afternoon he received a dispatch which came to Key West ifi-om Cuban sources at Habana, absolutely denying that Maceo was dead. The dispatch read as follows: "Maceo passed the trocha Dec, 4. Report of his death absolutely false. Contradict it on my authority." General Palma said that the despatch from a source in which has entire. Of Dr. Zertuche, who is said to have been Maceo's physician, and confirmed the report of the Cuban general's death, nothing is known at the junta. no longer doubted. Philadelphia, Dec. 11.?Very little doubt remains in Cuban circles! in this city of the death of Antonio Maceo, the Cuban leader. News came to nana iouay lrutu private buhiwo rwhich acknowledged that no further doubt of Maceo's death can exist. This information comes directly from the Cuban agents on the island and is intended to finish the uncertainty in the minds of the Cuban residents here. It was characterized as being absolutely authentic and as making an end of any possibility that the accounts of the general'3 tragic end could be untrue. Civil Service Examination.

The explosion was terrific and the shock was so great that all that part of the plant in which the boiler was situated was completely wrecked.

Icene at a Ball Fight, Which Indicates the E Spirit of the Babble. t Havana, Dec. 9, via Key West.? { i?he few Americans in Havana are in' b lonstant dread. They believe that ' heir lives are in danger. A gentleman connected with the Mario De La Marina newspaper, told ne that the gist of President Cleveand's message had been received by he Havana newspapers, but that the ?nsor had prohibited publication fearng that the warning to Spain to cease mtchery would inflame the populace ind cause attacks on Americans. Dr. Burgess, who has been here for , rears, and who is one of the nerviest : men ottoi" horn nnr?Ar tVio Stars ftnrl ' Jtripes, says that the situation is grav- 1 sr than it has ever before been. Joe * 3pringer, who has been in the Ameri:an Consulate Office for twenty-six fears and is now acting Consul Geniral, intimated to me this morning hat he wished Secretary Carlisle had iccepted the proposition of Captain , Svans (Fighting Bob) to come to Havana with the battle ship Indiana to juy a box of cigars. Mr. Springer iuggested that the Americans in the iity would be overjoyed if Captain Svans was still selecting the brand of obacco and his ship was at anchor in Havana. I was with a small party of Americans last night in Ihe cafe of the Hotel inglaterra, a leading hotel. Two of he party speak Spanish. Nearly all he chairs around the small tables in he cafe were occupied by civilians ind military officers, including some :ommon soldiers, who had attended 1 1 li /* I 1 J . J 1iT ne duu ngni aunng me aay. muuj :opies of La Lucha supplement, vhich contained the account of the re)orted death of ^Maceo, were being ' ead and discussed. Suddenly one of he Americans said to the gentlemen rith him, "Did you hear that? L3t's jet out of here." On the sidewalk he xplained that the group of Spaniards i vho was sitting near us had in the J iourse of the conversation remarked: 'We oifght to kill the American pigs, he same as we have killed Maceo. If he rebels had no sympathizers in the Jnited States we would have ended his war long ago." i The gentleman who translated that Spanish epigram explained that those ffho were so fortunate as to have a ight to claim protection under the American flag were always designated >y the term "pig." Mr. Louis Silva, who is in Havana n the interest or a large pump manu acturing house, with offices in New STork, says he notices a feeling of un est among the Spanish people which le never observed before and he has nade several trips to Havana during he last seventeen years. Mr. Silva lays the government made a mistake vhen it allowed that bull fight yester- 1 lay f that it helped to raise the blood hirsty proclivities of the rabble. ^ A Cuban, though a loyal Spaniard, old me last night that the Govern- s nent officials evidently did not believe ^ n the reported death of Maceo, else J ,he news would have been given out at ( he palace; that the report was disseminated to appease the Spanish peo)le and give them something to talk J ibout. take their minds off rioting, and J etthem think that the Government would soon end the rebellion. It is singular that Maceo, according 1 o the report, was killed near Punta J 3rava and that Weyler telegraphed J o Havana yesterday from Artemisa 'or reinforcements, saying that he had ilaceo hemmed in and wanted to crush mt the insurgents at once. But the Spaniards have wonderful powers. The character of the Spanish rabble , :an best be described by citing an insident of yesterday's bull fight. Three 1 mils had been Jellied in accordance with the recognized formula. The ourth bull was either so tame or tired ; hat the professional matadores re- ' 'used to kill it and went home. The 3 * " i ,? 1 3 noo men lore up me uouuuca auu hrew them with bottles and stones ;nto the ring at the bull.

"The laborer is worthy of his ] lire," and certainly none more than he preachers. How few seem to , hinir that, when thev are in trouble ind distress and lose their loved ones, he first thing they want is the preachir, and when the matrimonial knot e las to be tied again the first thing is he preacher. So let every one pause ind think what a holy necessity the J ireacher really is. Think of the wear ind tear, not only upon the good man limself, but upon his horse, his bug- ' ry, his spirit! Think of his wife and ittle ones, all depending on that jromised salary. By all means pay ,ho preachers what you promised ;hem. ' How to Make a Ham Sweet.?A lam can be made sweet and the flavor of the meat much improved by jutting one or two large teacups of )rown sugar in the water in which he ham is boiled. Another way is to ?ut a teacup of New Orleans molasses ind one of vinegar made from apple :ider in the water, and when the ham s boiled allow it to remain in the pot mtil the liquid cools. Sliced ham ran be kept fresh for weeks and presented from becoming mouldy by limdly dipping: it in melted lard or 'at dried out of the ham fat. Pianoa by the Mile.
