THE TARIFF BILL AT ITS FI
NAL PASSAGE.
Sonic Democrats Were Doubtful or a
Time and the Republicans
Were Hopeful of Its
Defeat.
Washington', .Inly •>.—With tho
passage of th' 1 tar.II bill and the ad
journment of congress to celtdirato the
glorious Fourth, Washington has ex
perienced a quiet season, hitherto un
known tor many weeks.
Ever since the fir-t of February the
senate lias spent eight h< ’irs a day talk
ing and voting on the various clauses
of the tarilf bill, and now it go-s to the
house in a decidedly different shape
from what it was in when it left that
body. What will he the outcome, would
be hard for tin* most astute politician to
venture a prophecy on.
That it will be acceptable to the house
in its present ship*, nobo ly b'dievs;
but that an early adjustment of differ
ences. and an agreeim-nt upon a basis
for settlement i- that m is' desired now.
It was PI aid Tuesd iy night when tin*
vote was reached in th * senate, and tin*
bill was passed by a vote of il'.i to M
Every Democrat, except Mr. Hill of
New York, voted lor tin* nn*a.-ure and.
although many believed th it. at the
last, the New Yorker would east Ins
vote with his party, the man from
New York had in> thought of doing so;
and. when the fin d !• st came. In* made
a vicious attaek on the bill. and. in a
atteech of la miniit-s, d nouiic* d it as
undemocratic an 1 populistic in its make
up, au I. casting !ns vote against if,

The calling of th * roll on tint final

Washington, Julv ."i. If a story cur
rent here is true, tin* sugar investiga
tion committee of tin* senate must either
evade its duty or is part that it has rea
son to believe that fellow menders of
the senate have been guilty of an offense
which unkindly criticism might classify
as perjury. Senator Lo Ige. one of tin*
committee, is said to have told several
personal friends that members of the
committee are convinced that lour sena
tors. whose nann s Mr. lodge given,
while they m iy h iv â–  been t clinically
correct in their denials ol p irticipatiou
in sugar speculation, have actually
shared or are to share in tin* profits of
such specula lion.
These s' ’H a tors do qc' imlu le Mr.
Brice. The committee, fit is said, be
lieves that Mr. Brice's testimony was
technically truthful, and that whatever
interest he has in sugar is not personal
and direct, hut tor tlie ben.-fit of .Mr.
Terrell, his long time Irieul and asso
ciate. Senator Brnv will probably lose
nothing hv givi .g hi- linen I Terrell a
boost, but the rev,Mr 1 will no’ coni' m

ImIii* (lie Action *>f Hi** I’astor.
Ati.anta, July a. — The German
Lutheran church, of which R‘*v. F. II.
MeuMchke is pastor, has been literally
alive with a novel controversy. At a
recent funeral of a prominent lodge
member, who was also a member of the
*St. John’s Lutheran church, the pastor
declined to officiate at the graveside in
connection with the lodge representa
tives. The story was then set afoot that
he had refused to conduct tin* funeral
exercises of th * deceased because he be
longed to a secret organization.
Tins statement was published and tho
pastor was called upon to defon 1 his
I Misition. The meeting was held at tin*
blither an church Tuesday night and
several members of both lodge and
church spoke after tlie minister made
his defense. All tho remarks were
made in German.
Reverend Mr. Meuschke, who is a
finely educate 1 youtig man, made an
able nnd eloquent defense of his real
position.
During bis remarks he sai 1:
“1 do not stand for my own sake,
pleading my cans'*, but tor your sake
and of love to my Savior and to yon.
whom 11** has entrusted tome and for
whose souls I must some day r**n l»*r ac
count. In our recent meeting I have
been rcijii' S'ed to give my reason for re
fusing to otliciate at tin: grave in com
pany with ret -o 'b ties. I have not
refused to olti *iat" in the lions** nr at the
church, as tii" German pap-r -tat**d. I
do not condemn the individual members
of secret societies, on th** contrary I
freely admit that many <'liristiaus join
secret order-, not purely irom worldly
or sellisb motives, but with th** firm
resolution to remain devout Christians,
but tin* whole lodge -ystem as such is
against tin* < l**ar word of God.
“This niav s mmi like a hirl *-tato-
inent. but Christ mu t rub* in /ion. In
II Cor. •'»: I t, )s. Paul admonishes his
congregation: “Be ye not unequally
yokel together with unbelievers, for
what fellowship hath rightousnes- with
unriglitou-n ss. ami what communion
hath light with darkness?'' etc Christ
and His mediation are rejected in th**
lodge ami you are comp died t*> recog
nize those as vour brethren who tread
your ami my Savior under toot. Tho
psalmist hl*'*si*s 'th** man that walketh
not in tin* conns *1 of tin* ungodly, nor
standeth in tin* wav of sinners, nor
aitteth in tin* it of tin* scornful." ’’
After a b'ligthv rev.<*w <>t his [si-it on,
in which In* cit <1 many Scripture quo
tations to >ii|»|i »rt Irs staml. a vote to
sustain tin* pi-tor was taken by the
congregntioii. which was carried, three
to one voting to uphold tin* minister.

THE YOUNG MISSIONARY WHO
WAS BEATEN AT DA REE.
Her Assailants Arc Liberated—She
Has Arrived in New York and
Gives a Graphic Account
of the Assault.
Nkw Yhkk, July 3. Miss Anna Mel
ton, the young American missionary
who was the victim of an unprovoked
and murderous attack by liir- 1 thugs iu
the village of D tro i, in the K urlish
mountains, last summer, ami who
barely escaped with her life, arrived in
this city by the steam r Werra, from
Genoa, Italy. Immediately upon her
arrival Miss Melton made her way to
the rooms of tlie Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions, under whose aus
pices she went to tlm Mosul, XVest Per
sia. station six years ago.
The assault upon Mis- Melton i- con
sidered one ot the most serious erinies
committed by the Turks against an
American citizen in many years, and,
from tho time of its occurrence, has
been the subject of corresitomlence be
tween the United States government
and that of Turkey.
Miss Melton is a tall, well built
woman, who, from her appearanee, is
capable of taking care of in i -.-If under
ordinary circumstances, as her routal of
her encounter with Imr sav ig? ass i.l mt
will show. This i- the story ol the
midnight attack upon Imr in her own
words:
“On the night of June it. fiy*. davs
after my arrival in the villa/.', 1 was
awakened, and in the dim fight -aw a
form leaning over some of my luggage
on the opposite side of the tent. I
thought it was the servant girl, and
called her name. Then tlm form arose
and I saw that it was that of a man.
The figure advanced towar Is i:;*. carry
ing in his hand a heavy hickoi . club
with a crook at the cmi, whi n 4- .’ ',f
the favorite weapons of the Koonls.
“Before I hud time to fully arouse
myself, the man advanced and strimk
at me with his club. H,s first blows,
however, missed their aim, for my Imd
was covered with a heavy framework of
wood, over which hung a thick netting
to keep out the insects. 1 screamed at
the toj, of my voice, and flmn I heard
the sound of rapid firing outs:*!** and
that of people running away. Tim man
finally broke down tho heavy frame
work of my screen tin 1 when 1 ma 1" an
effort to get up struck me rep -atcdly
over the Imad.
“Then he threw down his club and
took one of the stan lar is f'r-c.i mv
canopy, with wuich he struck ni" v-
eral times. 1 managed to wrest tlie stick
from him. We struggled together until
we had traversed the buit. wlmn. in
in some wav, he lost his balance ami fell
off.
“Blood was streaming from tho
wounds in mv head and body on which
his blows had fallen, ami when 1 had
been left alone 1 looked about nm almost
dazed to see it as>,st an •" was n*'.ir. Tim
women dress* *! my wounds, wli h lid
not prove s rious, although they were
many and painful.
“Nothing could be doim until ilavhght
when a nicssi-nger was sent to intonn
Mr. McDowell, at Amadin. livid'nee
