C., May 24.-The Jour nal, of this city, published the follow ing interview last Iweek with Senator Butler: "Do you think an -xtra Etssion of Congress wili bo cail- d by the Presi dent ?" asked a Journal reporter of Sena tor Butler, who was in the ciy yes!er day. "Yes. The understa,nding when I left Washington. two days ago, was that Congress will be conveied the first or middle of Seutember. Whether the late d 'et.ion ol the S;upreme Court. declarbg thle Chinese exclu,ion act constitutional auld the complications which may a rise Irom it will req ui re an earlier session, c iloot now bu deter mined, but my impro ssion is that. it will not." "Do you anticip-ito any friction or divisions in the )amocratic party over the tariff?" ".No; not worth speaking of. Now that the Democratic party is, for the first time since the war, in possession of all the branches of the government I think A4 shall be able to make a satis factory readjustment of the tariff, and relieve the people of excessive and in necessary taxation." "Ilas ir; been decided what plan of re adjustment will be adopted?" "I think not, definitely. I an inl clined to the opinion, however, that the general scheme will be the lines of the Mills bill, with perhaps a heavier reduc tion in most of the schedules, and an en largement ot the free list." "But, Senator, will not the D 'emocrat ic Congress be much embar assed by tihe extravagance of the lRepublicin adinin istrati2n, depletion of the tre.sury and increae(t expen(itures?" "Unquestionably, and it will r(quire all the wisdom of all the thoughtful Democrat3 in every branch of the gov -rnment to meet successfully the terri ble burdens left upon the country by the Harrison adiministration. The enor mous appropriations for pensions, run ning anywhere from $150,000,000 to $180,000,000, with the other necessary expenses of the government, will strain the resources of the countiy, but you know a ieduction of the tariff will in crease the revenues and I have hopes we shall impose an income tax, so that with prudence and economy in Conduct ing the affairs of the government we may 3easonably expect to get. al-ng without much trouble." "11ow about the finam ial legisla tion ?" "Ab! There is the stumbling block. Both parties are divided onl linancial legislation and I fear sHriOus dillicul ties." "I[ave you views you cale to express on the financial problem ? What would be your solution of it ?" "Well, that's . very 'sarchin' ques tion,' as Vance would siy, but it 3ou can stand the deliverance of my views, I think I can, although I muot abbre viate. In the first place, let me say I 4 am in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. When I entered tne Senate, and tile subject was new to me, my inclinations were the other way, but after investigation I became sAtie lied 'hat binetalismn in its fullest ense was the proper thing for this country an(d have since acted on that theory. It is proper to say in this connection, however, what I have said in -e. bate-that many of the advocates of froe coimav,.() areally exagertte from their standpoini, th advantages and benelits of unlimited free coinage of silver; and, on t,he other hanid, the op. ponents11 greatly exaggerate, from their point of view, the evils to flow f ronm it. In my judgnment the free coinage of silver wouild aiford patrtial financial re lief, by increasini the circulatong medi uim somiewhat, but it cotubl niot possi bly amount to a goI-: de, I, tee Ce. or 0( the limWit upon the supply of bullhon and the limited capatcit.y of the mint?s 4 for coinage. I say, thietefore, the reliel in the dlirectioni udicated wvould be scarcely apprec-iable under our pcresent financial systuiu. I havye never give'n any weight, to the alarmis petriodically souned by monomttiiet a?ists that , we shall be sent to finanrciat pe~r(hition if we adopt free coinage. 'Tihemir prognios ticattions of rumii at< dis1 aster have too of ten proven fall icious tj nut it le themc to muech !onlsidert,ion.

TheI Secrety would niot beeome paniue stricken, so W alli-.re-e-t conchluded it would not pay to push thce pan1ic Ibui. ness too far and hasu got, to be-harving itself again." "'Would you vote~ for the repeal of' t he Sher mani la w ?" "I care nothing albouit the Shmermian law; am11 ini no sense resRponsible foir it, but I would not, conisent, to it,s repeal and thereby totally dh moniti-za silver agaiki. If those who4 ar-e so aitiXoui ti get rIid of flee paurcluane of silIve~r und1(er the bherman law will couple with its repeal a sectlont to repeal the ten per 4cent, tax on the Stat e bcank circulation I would vo o for it. TIhe repeal of the ten per centI. tax on St ate bcanmk circu - latuon wotuldi settle the Iinanicial qes tion for a elucsrter Oh a cenitiury. We might theni coini all t,he silver In t he world and our State banks could absorb it as security for their cIrculation and the mainteniance of whatevet- bcanik re serve that might be require d. We should have all the ceurrency, a local currency if yotu please, to t ransact the business of the coutntry. Tlhis cur ren cy may be made ats sound and safe as the national bank cuirrecv. I am in clined to think from what' I ktiow of the opinions of leading D)emocrats, mon very hIgh in the counclis of the p)arty', that this will be our way outt of the financial differences; nameuly, at repeal of the3 She-rman law, c(;uptled with the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on State bank cIrculation, ande a graduated in corni tax. If the Deomocratic party will do this aiid readjust the tariff, we shall hear no more of financial troubles for twenty fIve years. The D)emocratic m1iruto munuimy as ir, wouia aeserve to do, and Third partyism would dis appear from the face of the earth. That is my financial platform." i "When do yott return to Washing ton ?" "I have not decided delinitely. Te Senate blocked out work enough for 1 my committee, inter-State commerce, to employ me for three months, but I shall appoint a sub-committee, I think f and spend the greater part of my h< li-' < day at home." d "Do you care to say anything on the e subject of State politics?" "Not now. I have said enough for tlI the present. Some other time I will n: discuss State politics with you it' you care to hear mne." 1) r( FINAL RESTING PLACE y Vor Iie Itnumains of Ilon. .I iirerson i).vis 0 at Iticlhm1o1nd Va.

[im Aninzing Ingenulty-Work ed for Montlas Filing tivati From his cell and "Dolna" a4 Padiock-Sil -.lown Fave Stories. COLUMIn1A, S. C., May 25.-One of he most ingenious escapes ever made rom the pen itentiAry occured last night. L'he authorities are mystified, and can iot, satisfy their own minds how itoc urred. The convict's name is Albert Jenkins, nd as he was considered a dangerous oivic, he Wa,s coulined in a cell on the iest floor, where it was thought it would 10 iupossible for him to escape, but to man with the ingenuity of Jenkins 1t'dig is seemingly impossible. The doors )'[ the cells are of iron and iud are doubly p,otected. From the ipper part (it the door there projects a riaingular piece of strong iron. When he cell is closed a lont iron bar extend throughout the length of the build Is s rawn in front. Phe door can ot possiblv be opened then. for the rojecting iron from the door strikes it. 'his projecting piece is firmly riveted to W door and it looks impossible for any no without the necessurv tools to break . In addition to all this there is a pad -ek oil the doors. Jenklns, by some means, toac the vets out. There is some evi ence that ile was used to file down the heads, ud it, is supposed that this was his plau a ny0ration. ie miust have worked at it for many ionths, and very quietly, for none of .:-iard"s or atny ot the convicts in the Ijoi.ni cels ever lieard him make ny 1loi6e. In his cell was found a little ball of 0al tar wrapped ia on old rag. It is apposed that at1er filing the heads lie ,ould smear the coal tar on the heads, I as ) pcevent, the guards from seeiniL 'fhat lie was doing. In the opemni, 'here the rivets were there were evi ences that, tar had been placed there. Having uott,en out the rivets there ras still another dilliculty, the padlock. ;ut Jenkins had evidently fixed that ome time ago. The lock, when closed, ,ll mak- a click as if it had locked.. but, n examination this morning, showed hat It would not, although sounding ex. .ctly like it. Thle guards have never ex. mined it, or at least not i ecently, and .s they closed the door and clicked the .)k they doubtless thought the prisoner vas secure. Having fixed both the lock Ad lroj,eting iron it was an easy natter to open tfie door noiseles,ly. Jelnkins had on a ball and chaln. The >iece around his leg had been broken for ome time in preparation for the escape. Lo f lie or,zinary observer, or even to the Iracticed eye, nothing was wrong with The prisoner quietly took It ofilhis and left it in his cell. The only >o found in- the cell was a small piece f' iron like a part of a blacksmith's bs but to what purpose he put that not known. Jenkins, having gotten out of his cell, luch was in the new prison, went up airs to the fifth story and prized oft a nall plai in the ceiling. Two con Cs were sleoping near by but they say iat they heard nothini.g. Now came ic miost daring and dangerous part of :e Cscape. 'JeDkins went through the iling 1lor to that portion of' it which co j ects four or Iivye feet, beyond t,he i;ihutg. lie pmul led upi aniothier planlk cur whecre a lirge scant,ling extended omu the roof'to the ground.

Dr. Condit, the head of the Presbyt( -,:ln Chinese Alissions of the Pacilie claitA, who has been engaged in Chiineso uis sion work for over twenty years, andl has spent much of that tilo il S>Iutli China, was interviewed r(lative to I ie effect of the Supreine Court decisioni in China. lie said: "I feel that an attempt, to enforvce tho provisions of the Geary act so far as to deport the Chinese now iII til t'nited State would be a very dangerous thing. I should expect that, inmediately 11uo learning of ai atteipt to do I his tie Chinese government would ordItr all Americans to leave (hilil at oie. Every Amnrican bidbding iii ha would b3 destroyed, either Ihrown down or burned, and the killing of many American residents coulhintd-ly be prevented. The first move would, no doubt, be the recalling of'the Chinese Minister and consuls now in t le ['nit wl States, and the severing of all dipioma, tic relations. Of course fuirther tiralfi between China and this country would be out of the question. I am certain thatserious trouble will follow tire en forcement of the law, because I itiler stand thoroughly the Chinese nature and Chine.e methods of revenge. "'hen I have something Olse to ju<lge by in regard to this (iestion in thre shape of a letter from Dr. Martin, pre,i dent of the Imperial College of Il'ekin. In this 13tter Dr. Alartin says tliat t called not long -go, uponl1 Ii llurng Chang, the Chinese prime indis.er, mn(t asked him the very question you are now asking tme, and tie oni y repiy I hat LI 1,ng Chang would make waii, t hait the Americans would all be driven out. Ilung Chang actu for the E mperor. lie is virtually the government. The Chinese are sometimes slow t o act, but, once aroused they are the most vinldic tive people on the face of the eart.h." When asked whether the action of the Geary law had already workel any injury to American interests in China, Dr. Condit sai<I that he could only re ply to that in so far as the Iiiestion I lated to missionary whork itere. "It has already effected the work," Le said. "We have been advii,d to s,n no more tnissionaries thore until the matter is entirely settled, and we are acting upon tie advice. Titie inission aries, and, in fact, all America residents outside of the larger cities, woould have no protection whatever from the viol ence that they would containly receive. 'It is a serious question now whether all the missionaries in the interior should not be recalMd. Some are evein now on their way back. We have als.) sent word to stop all operations on the chapel which is being built by the Presbyterian Missisan Society in Can ton. I should not be surprised to seee the consuls and miisters oh the Ct ilese government to the United States re called at any time now in fact, I expect it."* Collector of Internal R-.tvenue Quino said that the decision of the!
