Schedules.
' The great strugglo over- the tariff
ended last week in a triumph for tho
Domocruiic Senators who hold out
against freo sugar, iron, coal and
barbed wire. They dlotated the terms
to tho House, which recedod from its
position on tho ground that tho Senate
bill was better than to do without any
legislation on the tariff, und under tho
guidance of Speaker Crisp and Chair
man Wilson, tho Democratic Ropro
sentatlvos agrood to accopt tho Senate
bill, which onded tho light vory
quickly.
The Houso coupled with its agree
ment the introduction and pussago of
soparato bills to secure freo sugar, free
coal, free iron oro and froo barbed
wire, but none of theso measures will
stand tho ghost of a chance to pass tho
Seuato. They woro practically killed
when sept to the Sonato, und the Houso
*^**-r>nry intended to make a record before
the country as being squarely in favor
of adhoring to tho plodgos of tho Dem
ocrats along this lino, plucing tho re
sponsibility for failuro upon tho Demo
cratic Senators who rofusod to carry out
those pledges.
Washington, Aug. 14.?There was
something of a flurry about tho Senuto
to-day during tho earlier hours of tho
session whon tho four soparato tariff
bills came over from tho House, for it
was feared that in somo way, action
might be forced und* a showing of
hands compollod to bo mado. Especi
ally was this truo of tho bill to put su
Sar on tho froo list. Thoro appears,
owover, to bo no hope for any of these
bills to become laws, us thoro is a dis
position on tho part of tho leadors to
smother thorn in committee The su
gar bill, of course, possosses tho most
noHi-loal significance and It cuunot bo
>>?wcloubted, but that thoro are vory many
Democrats who would liko tho op
portunity to voto upon tho question of
froo sugar as an Indopondent proposi
tion.
Tho Republicans can bo depended
upon to do all thoy can to prevent tho
Democrats from carving out any de
sire they may havo In this direction,
and thoy base their intention upon tho
statement that it would bo bad poli
ties. Ono of tho loaders said to-night
that the Republicans mado froo sugar
and gavo tho growors a bounty, and
that the Democrats repealed that law.
Now tho Domocrats wantod tho Re
publicans to assist them in putting su
6ar back on tho free list without tho
ouuty. This tho Republicans will not
do. It is beliovod that all these bills
will be sent to the finance committoo
without much trouble, this boing the
usual course. Should thoro be any of
fort on tho part of those anxious for
free sugar to attempt to prevent this
and secure immediate action, as Mr.
Vest suggested to-day, thon tho bills
will bo called up ono at a tlmo and
made tho basis for tho formation of
another new tariff bill. Hill began
that work to-day whon ho gave notice
of an amendment providing for the re
peal of the income tax.
Stowart is roudy to lay beforo tho
Senate a froo coinago umondment for
each of tho independent bills. Allen
will offer as an amendment tho PelYor
tariff bill, and Aldrich will offor an
amendment that repouls tho enacting
clause of tho bill to which tho Houso
agreed yesterday. A most determined
fight will bo commenced should thoro
be any disposition shown to treat theso
independent measures with any degree
oiseriousnosu.
In view of tho anxiety of members of
Congress to get away and securo the
^??cJOHe of ail business, it does not appear
how a quorum can be maintained to,
keep up this sort of thing, for tho Re
publicans would insist that tho Demo
crats provido tho quorum with which
the Sonato should do business. Al
ready Senators are preparing to loavo
tho city, Toller and Dixon having taken
their departure. In the Houso a num
ber of members havo gono and tho pre
diction is mado in tho Senate by both
Democrats and Kepublicans that the
end of this week will find the Sonato
wlfhout a quorum.
Tho only thing that now koops the
Senate is the sundry civil bill, and tho
tariff bill, which will roach the Presi
dent to-morrow, with theso two things
f out of tho way thoro would be no rou
I son why an adjournment should not fol?
? low. Senators do not place, much faith
In the story that tho Houso will rofuse
to adjourn until tho Sonato acts upon
the bills montioned, but as soon us mat
tors now attracting the attention of tho
Senate aro out of tho way, the House
will bo put to tho tost by tho passing
on tho part of tho Sonato of a joint
resolution providing for a tlmo for ad
j'our union t sine dlo. Any attempt to
frustrate an adjournment moans the in
auguration of a porlod of flllbustoriug
and the consumption of tlmo by tho
Sonate with tho inovitablo result that
nothing will he accomplished.
Washington, Aug. 15.?During tho
routino morning businoss, tho chief
clerk of tho Houso dolivorod a mes
sage from tho Houso notifying tho Sen
ate of tho dischargo of tho Houso eon
foroos on the tariff bill, and of tho fact
that tho House had rocoded from its
disagreement to tho Senate amend
ments, and further that ho (the clerk )
had boon directed to present to tho
Senate tho signaturo of its President,
tho onrollod tariff bill. Within a fow
minutes afterwards tho Vlco Presldont
announced that ho had signed tho
tariff bill.
Quay gavo notice that ho would offor
as an amendment to the four bills put
ting Sugar, coul, iron oro and barbed
wire on tho froo list, tho MoKinlev
tariff bill.
Butler offered u resolution, which
was referred, instructing tho commit
too on inter-State commorco to Inquire
and report as to tho frolght and pas
senger ohargos differential, etc., of the
Sou thorn Steamship and Railway As
sociation.
At the request of Harris, ouch of tho
four Bouse hilIs as to sugar, coal, iron
ore and barbod wiro, was taken up and
roooivod its socond roading. This for
mality having boon accomplished, Har
ris roso and said : I doom it my duty
to submit to the Sonato a communica
tion from tho Socrotary of tho Treas
' ury roooived this morning. Tho lottor
-was road from tho clerk's dosk.
B?rry moved, as soon as tho reading
was complotod, that tho Sonato pro
ceed at onco to tho consideration of the
froo sugar bill.
Harris : " I fool it my duty to say a
word and to make n motion to rofor
' those bills to tho financo committoo.
Whllo I am heartily in favor of freo
sugar, raw and refined, and havo cer
tainly no obiootions to putting tho oth
er artlclos dealt with by tho other bills
on the freo list, still, In vlow of tho
communication iust road from tho Soc
rotary of tho Treasury and tho strong
probability (If not tho absolute cer
tainty) that If theso bids shall boeomo
law, we will havo during tho current
-?oar a deficiency in tho Treasury of
?21>,000,000 or *30,000,000, I fool it my
duty to move to refer each of these
'.'ills to the finance committee in order
that tho committee may. in dealing
with those bills, so deal with them as
to provide against that inevitable de
ficiency. I do not think that Congress
can afford to adjourn withoutsuch pro
vision as will otTectuall/ guard against
such deficiency ; and for that reason,
and that reason only, I move that these
bills be referred to tho committee on
finance."
Speeches against a reference and in
favor of the House bill were made by
B?rry, Vest and Mills. Vest's speocn
was made in the exeeutton of his prom
ise to turn the calcium light on tho
history of tho bill in tho finance com
mittee, the Democratic caucus and tho
conference committoe. As us ml, ho
was earnest and Impassioned, and thoro
was no lack of frankness or plain
sneaking- in his remarks. His allu
sions to tho President wore espoclally
ontertainlng to Senators and to tho
galleries.
The President found a dofonder in
Vilas, and tho action of tho Demo
cratic party in Congress in passing tho
bill was supported and justified by Pal
mer.
Tho day's proceedings woro closod
with a highly amusing sceno between
Chandler and Harris, in which Chand
ler borrowed tho words, tono and man
ner of Harris on uovoral occasions
during tho debate of tho tariff bill-?to
tho offeot that tho day had boon wast
ed in useless discussion, and that tho
country was woary of such dobates and
was demanding immediate action.
Notlco of an amendment to a f reo su
gar bill was given by Jones of Arkan
sas, imposing a duty of 30 per cent, ad
valorom on all sugars. Without any
action whatovor on tho bill, tho Sonate
at 5.05 p. m. adjournod.
Washington, Aug. 16.?Prosidont
Clovoland loft tho city early.thls morn
ing. Private Secretary Thurber raakos
public tho following statement in re
gard to tho President's departuro :
" Tho Prosidont loft this morning
for a fow days' abseneo undor tho ad
vico of his physician, in tho hope of
shaking off an attack of malaria from
which ho has beon suffering for sovor
al days. Yostorday, tho attack culmi
nated In a fovor which was undor con
trol this morning. Dr. O'Reilly, his
physician, expressed no doubt that a
fow days of salt air will rccuporato tho
President sufficiently to renew his offi
cial dutios, and ho will roturn to
Washington by tho middle of noxt
week. Ho has gone to Gray Gables,
and Is aecompaniod by Dr. O'Reilly."
Tho President has novor fully re
covered from an attack of malaria
which caused him to raako two trips in
tho light house tondor down thoCnosa
poako Bay and outsido tho capes.
Anxioty over tho tariff situation is
supposed to havo aggravatod tho in
disposition, and When the matter was
ended by tho action of tho Houso in
passing tho tariff bill, -the relaxation
camo and made a chango of air neces
sary.
President Clovoland took no action
upon tho tariff bill boforo his depart
ure beyond sonding it to tho Secretary
of tho Treasury for a report, as is cus
tomary with all rovonuo hills
It will bo necessary for tho Prosi
dont to ho back in Washington by
Tuesday noxt. Tho resolution continu
ing appropriations expires Monday,
but tho sundry civil bill has not boon
signod and all appropriations carried
by it for last year will ceaso Monday,
unless tho Prcsidont returns and gives
tho bill for the current year his ap
proval.
Tho rivor and harbor bill also awaits
tho action of the President, and there
is much speculation as to whether ho
will approve it or not. Many of tho
auproprlatlons carried by it will ceaso
if it is not approved by Tuesday.
SENATOR VEST GETS ANGRY.
HK REVIEWS THE ItECENT TAIt
No Other Tai ill Bill Could Have
I'assed the senate and the Demo
cratic Senators Have Been Out
rageously Treated.
Washington, Aug. 15.?In opposing
Senator Harris' motion to re for tho
frco sugar and other bills to tho com
mitteo on finance Senator Vest said
that ho had not the slightest doubt
that if tho bills woro roforred to tho
committee, of which ho was acting as
temporary chairman, that it would
moan tho death of tho bills. It was
woll known that tho committee was
now politically a tlo, and with the
prospect of tho disappearance of a
quorum in a fow days nothing could bo
dono with tho bills at this session.
Ho roforred indignantly to Mr.
Cleveland's letter in support of the
Houso bill, and ranged alongside of it
tho lottor of Secretary Carlisle pre
sented to-day, which ho declared
proved conclusively that tho Houso
bill would, if enacted, havo caused a
doficieney of $30,000,000. That letter,
ho said, with groat display of fooling,
vindicated tho position of tho Senate.
Ho denounced tho solf-constltuted
critics of tho press and tho demagogues
who had sought to pull down mon in
high plaeos, who had assailed tho
Sonato and tho Sonato bill. Tho
Sonate had boon mado tho scapegoat.
He proceeded with great! indigna
tion to doscrlbo tho position'In which
ho had boon'placed during tho last
Hvo mdnths. Ho had not au onemy in
tho world, ho doclarod, dramatically,
whom ho would placo in tho position
ho had occupied to bo critloisod, de
nounced, blackmailod and driven in
ordor to pass a bill for tho relief of tho
country that was distorted by tho,
views of those who looked at tho si t na
tion from thoir own selfish standpoints.
Tho rules of tho Sonuto woro responsi
ble, ho said.
" No wondor," said he, with uplifted
hand, " that tho public doclares the
Sonato lags superfluous on tho stage
when wo sit horo day aftor day while
almanacs, statistics, Ovon novels, aro
road to us undor our rules and we aro
poworloss to help oursolvos. Thor?
was reason why tho peoplo should
turn on us. Lot us," ho continued,
" look at tho rock around which tho
cross curronts and eddies of discussion
havo boiled, and scothod. In one
section of tho country lay Louisiana,
with its sugar plantations, domanding
a rovonuo tariff on sugar. I would
rather havo given thom protection
than any other class of producers in
tho domain of tho United States. At
tho other ond of tho United States was
that groat monopoly, tho Sugar Trust,
taking toll from ovory broakfast table.
With $75,000,000 of watered stocks it
paid 7 per cent, dividond on half Its
stock and 12 per cont. on tho other
half, and paid It quarterly. It was
aggrossive, defiant, ayo, dominant.
Between thoso two Jay tho Interest of
tho pooplo, tho consumers. Tho
Wilson bill as roportod to tho Houso
from tho connnlttoo containod a duty
and bounty. When it was In the Houso
froo sugar was inserted. Tho finance
coinmltteo nroparod a b.U which gavo
no differoi. .nf bonolit to tho trust.
And yet,"' said Senator Vost, with
bittorness, " thoy on 11 ns tho croaturos
of tho SRugar Trust." Tho Senator
paused for a momont, and thon with
Intonso oarncstnoes added: "Liars,
slandorers, infamous llbollors." Ho
proceeded to denounce tho llos which
had boon hcapod on thoso who had
fought agaipst this trust and yot had
boon designated its crcaturos. " And
when tho financo committoo had com
pleted Its bill," continued Sonator
vest, it was taken out of our hands
boforo a Domoeratlo caucus without
our knowlcogo or consont. If I mis
state tho results lot Senators rlso in
thoir soats and point it out. At tho
ond of throo days of miserable wrang
ling undor recrimination o woro
turned out and told to prepare a bill
which would command the support of
forty-throo Senators) We thoroupon I
IFF CONTEST.
set ourselves to that miserable task."
Senator Vest said that when the
conferees gave their first attention to
tikis Medusa-headed monster, the Sugar
Trust, after much discussion, a com
promise -uigar schedule had boeu
agreed to, giving 40 per cent on the .
saccharine strength in the Irunoitcd
artlolesand l:f> differential. " Again."
declared Senator Vest, ' we aro us
sallod. Wo were hounded with tho
statement that the Senate was for sale
to tho Sugar Trust. We wore vlrUled
by vile cartoons, editorials and lying
corrospondonts."
Senator Vost suited his action to
his words and .mowed the intonso
bitterness of his fooling. Ho continued
to show that when tho sugar compro
| miflo had been roaohed, thon it was
learned that the Houso was not so
dooply eoncernod in free sugar as it
was in free ccal and iron.
Senator Vest referred to the Pre
sident's letter to Mr. Wilson and to
the consequent ehango of issue from
sugar to coal and iron. Ho said ho
hud no light with tho Exocutlvo. Ho
disclaimed being in tho cabal agaitiBt
tho President as ohargod by the
Sonator from Now York (Hill.) If it
were necessary for him to retract one
word of what ho had said to remain in
public life ho would not do it. For
tho President to como before tho pub
lie and denounce tho bill, tho provi
sions of which ho know in evory detail,
was a gross Injustice to thoso who had
labored and made much more saorlfico
than ho. Ho. thon described tiro pro
position made to the I louse conferees
by the Sonate. If the sugar schedule
should stand tbo Sonate had offered
tho House olthor, froe coal or free
iron. In tho compromise that seomed
necossary tho dllloroncos woro split.
Tho Houso oxprossod groat gratifica
tion. After two hours of conferouco
tho Houso couforoos came back and
said they would toko froe iron oro.
Tho conferees thon adjourned with
tho statement from the Senate con
forces that it would bo dangerous to
make reductions on othor schedules,
metal, woollon, etc. Tho next day
the Mouse conferees came, back and
said they would tako froo coal. Wo
ropliod : " Gontlomon, tako olthor.
Wo can bo happy with olthor, with
t'othor dear charmers away." [Laugh
ter.]
Continuing Senator Vost said : "Tho
chairman of tho Houso eonforeos thon
said It was his duty to insist that all
tho schedules should be taken up.
They woro warnod of tho result. Tho
troublo with tho Houso conferees
throughout was that they Insisted that
t hoy knew moro of tho situation in tho
Sonato than wo did. They constantly
Insisted that we should mako tho
changes they wanted and take tho bill
back to tho Sonato. Whilo this dis
cussion in conforonco was going on tho
Sonator from Now York eamo into tho
Sonato last Friday and offorod his re
solution, on whieh thoro was a tio
vote. That voto was decisive ; it moro
than anything olso determined tho
situation bore. Men said the question
horo was botweon tho Wilson bill and
tho Sonato bill. That statement, was
as false as the assertion that t here was
a Democratic Senate. On tho question
of tarilT reform it novor was and never
can bo a Democratic Sonato as at pres
ent constituted. Tho question was
botweon tho Sonato bill and tho Mc
Kinloylaw. Thoro tho cholco was to
bo mado, and ovoryono conversant
with tho situation so understood it.
" Mr. President, it is not pleasant
over to indulgo in personalities, but
my attontlon has been called recently
to an infamous statement, coming from
a generally reputable sourco, mado in
tho public press to tho oficct that my
action in regard to tho lottor of tho
Prosident to Mr. Wilson in regard to
tho bill had been dictated by a fooling
of rovongo against his Excellouoy
bocaugo ho had ignorod mo in regard
to tho patronage of my State. Tho
Sonator from New York (Hill) was
kind enough in concluding his spooch,
when ho played tho rolo of Marc
Antony, and whon some pooplo
suspected that ho would roully liked
to havo played Marc Antony and como
to bury Csssar and not to praise him,
to say that after this classic grout*
that had attacked our modern Cmsar
lie know not what private grief I
.might havo. Mr. President. I have
no private grlof, but I wish to acknow
ledge in tho most public manner my
gratitude to the President for having
rolioved mo from all responsibility in
' rogard to tho appointments in Missouri.
Sir, if thoro Is anything in my public
lifo*which has afforded mo any plea
sure, real and substantial, it has been
tho fact that tho Prcsldont in tho
exorcise of his constitutional right, of
which I do not complain, informed mo
that ho no longer dosircd my ndvioo
regarding Missouri patronage Not
again during this Administration will
I stand in a crowded anto room looking
into tho anxious, haggard faces of ox
pectant oflico-scokors. Not .again will
I ho admitted into tho august prosonco.
Nor will I watch tho shadows, partially
producod by indignation, that Mow
across tho Executive brow and fool my
heart sink ns ouch shadow came and
wont. Not again will I bo damnod at
country postolfices, upon villagocorners
us an Ingruto who has given no offices
to his friends. Sir, woro it not for
this tar ill' debate and this tariff dis
cussion I would now indulgo in tho
ocstacy of that woll-known hymn :
'Thon shall I hatho my woary soul
In seas of endless rest,
And not a wavo of troublo roll
Across my peaeoful hroaet.'
" I have nothing to complain of on
the part of the President. I am roady
to follow him now as tho old Scotch
followed tho banner of Bruco whon ho
fought for country and homo. I fight
for no man. I fight for principle, my
party and my country. Mon pass
away like clouds from the oveuing sky,
but principle must live forovor. Sir,
whon any man living nccusos mo of

in connection with this bill, but my
connection with it is now ended, I
Simply answer him US a Mann ion f^

Death of a Man Once Prominent In

In Fairflold, his adopted county, the

THE SACRIFICE.
"A renegade ! A rebol against his

loves you ! Sou of canting, lying Ezra |
Winthrop! By tho Eternal, I'll shoot
hint on sight if he comos this sido !"
While old John Bedoll was speaking
ho tore and llung away a letter, reach
ed for his long rifle on its pins abovo
the chimney place, dashed its butt
angrily to tho tloor, and poured powdor
into his palm.
" For noaven's morcy, father ! You
would not! You could not! Tho war
is over. It would be murder !" cried
Ruth Bedell, sobbing.
" Wouldn't I V" Ho poured tho pow

I'd kill a rattlesnake ?" He placed tho
round bullot on tho little squaro of
greasod rag at the muzzle of his rillo.
"A rank traitor?bone and blood of

crowded tho tight lead homo, dashed
the ramrod into place, looked to tho
lllut. "Rost there, old Surodoath?
wako up for Georgo Winthrop !" and
tho llorco old man roplaced riflo and
powdor:horn on thoir pogs.
Bedell's hatred for tho foes who had
boaten down King Georgo's cause and
imposed tho alternative of confiscation
or tho oath of allegiance ou tho van
quished, was considered ferocious, ovon
by his brother Loy* 'ists of tho Niagara
frontier.
" Tho Squire kind of soos his boys'
blood when tho sky's red," said they
in explanation. But their Inforouce
erred. Bedoll was so much an enthu
siast that ho could almost roioico be
causo his three stark sous had gained
tho prize of death in battle. Ho was
too bravo to hato tho fighting mon ho
had so often confronted. But ho nb
horrod tho politicians, especially tho
iutimato civic onomlos on whom ho
had poured scorn before tho armed
struggle began.
Moro than any ho hatod Ezra Win
throp, tho lawyor, arch-revolutionist
of thoir native town, who had novor
usod a weapon but his tonguo. And
now his Ruth, tho beloved and only
child ho had loft to his oxilod old ago,
had confessed her lovo for Ezra Wiu
throp's son ! They had boon boy and
firl, protty maiden and bright strip

cotvo cloarlv so wild a thing as thoir

his hoart llko veritablo flro?a raging
anguish of minglod loathing and love.
He stood'now gazing at Ruth, dumbly
?his hands clenched, head somotimes
mechanically quivering, angor, hate,
lovo, griof, tumultuous in his soul.
Ruth glanced up?hor father soomed
about to spoak?sho bowod again,

looked up again suddonly, and John
Bedoll saw in hers tho beloved oyes of
his dead wife, shrinking with intoler
able fear. Ho groanod heavily, Hung
up his hands despairingly, ana strodo
out toward tho river.
How craftily smooth tho grocu Nia
gara swoops toward tho plungo ho
noath that perpetual white cloud abovo
tho Falls ! From Bedell's cloarlng be
low Navy Island ho could soo tho sway
ing and rolling of tho mist, over rush

tcrriblo stream had a profound fascina
tion for him; with its racing eddies
oatlng at tho shore: its long woods,
visible through tho clear wator, trail
ing close down to the bottom; Its inex
orable, otornal, onward pouring. Be
cause it was so mighty and so threat
ening his stern soul rejoiced grimly in
tho awful rlvor. To float, watching
cracks and lodges of its Hat bottom
rock drift quickly upward ; to bond his
his oars only when white crests of the
rapids yolled for his lifo; to win es
eapo by sheer strength from points so
low down that ho somotimes doubted
but tho greedy forces had been toinpt
ed too long ; to stako his life, watch
ing tree tops for a sign that ho could
yet save it, was tho droadful pastime
by which Bedell sometimes quelled
passionate promptings to rovongo his
exilo.
"Tho Falls is bound to got tho Squire
somo day," said the banished settlers.
But the Squire's skill' was eloan built
as a pickorol, and his old arms iron
strong. Now when ho had gono forth
from'tho beloved child, who seemed to
him so traitorous to his lovo and loyal
ty, ho wont instinetivoly to spend his
passion upon tho rlvor.
Ruth Bodoll, gazing at tho loaded
rifle, shuddered. Her filial lovo scom
od to havo died with thoso threats.
Her fears was doop, but sho had not
told all. Georgo Winthrop himself,
having made his way seerotly through
tho forest from Lako Ontario, had
given her his pwn letter asking leave
from tho Squiro to visit his nowly
mado cabin. From tho moment of ar
rival hor lover had implorod her to Hy

Juck ! It wuh tho largest flag lie could
procure ; ho could boo It Hying delluntly
all day long ; at night ho could hour Its
glorious folds whipping in tho wind;
tho old Loyalist loved to fancy Iiis foo
mon cursing at it from the othor side,
nearly throo milosaway. Kuthhuuled
the Hag down a llttlo, thon ran it up to
the masthead again.
At that a tall young fellow came
springing Into tho cleivrlng, jumping
exultuntly over brush heaps mid tree
trunks, his quouo wuggllng, ills eyes
bright, glad under his threo-eoruerod
hat. .loying that her father hud yield
ed, ho ran forward till ho saw Ruth's
tears.
" Whttt, sweetheart!?crying? It
was the signal to como on," cried lie.
" Yes; to boo you Booner, George.
Father is out yonder, But, no, he will
never, never consent."
"Thon yo\i will como with mo,
lovo?" ho said, taking her hands.
"No, no, I dare not," sobbed Kuth.
" Father would overtake us. 1 lo swears
to shoot you on sight! Go. George 1
Escape while you can ! Oh, if he should
tind you hero !"
" Hut, darliug love, WO need not fear.
But-" thon ho thought how weak
her face, H wo might cross hero before,
bo could como up !" cried Winthrop,
looking toward wherotho Squire's boat
was now a distant blotch.
" No, no," walled Ruth, yet yielding
to his embrace. "Thisis tho last time
I shall soo you forever. Go, lovo?
forovor and forever good-bye, my love,
my lovo."
But ho claspod hor In his strong arms,
kissing, imploring, cheering hor?and
how should true love choose hopeless
ronunclatlon P
Tempting, defying, regaining his
lost ground, drifting down, again try
ing hard to tiro out und subduo his
hoart-pangs, Bedoll dalliod with death
moro closely than ever. Often ho could
8eo tho wide, smooth curve whoro tho
green volume iirst lapses "ustly on a
lazy slope, to shoulder up bolow a huge
calm billow, before pitching into tho
madness of waves whoso confusion of
tossing and tortured crests hurries to
tho abyos. Tho afternoon grew toward
ovoning before he pulled Steadily homo,
cruwling away from tho rourors against
tho cruel grcon, watching the ominous
cloud with somo such grim humor as if
under observation by an overpowering
but baflled onomy.
Approaching his landing, a shout
drew Bedell's glanco ashore to a group
of mon excitodly gesticulating. They
8Coniod motioning him to watch tho
American shore. Turning, ho saw u
boat in midstream, whoro no craft then
on the river, oxcopt his own skiff,
could bo safe unless manned by soveral
good rowers. Only two oars were
tiashiug. Bedell could make out two
liguros indistinctly. It was cloar they
were doomed?though still a full milo
abovo tho point whence ho had come,
they were much further out than he
when near tho rapids.
Yet ono life might bo saved ! In
stantly Bedell's bow turned outward,
and ohcors Hung to him from shore.
At that moment ho looked to his own
landing-place, and saw that his larger
boat was gone. Turning again, ho
angrily recognized it, but kept right
on?ho must try to roscuoovona thief.
He wondered Kuth had not preventod
tho thielt, but had no suspicion of tho
truth. Always*he had refused to lot
her go out upon tho river?mor
tally fearing it for her.
Thrusting his skill mightily forward
?often it glanced, half-whirled by up
wholming an.! spreading spaces of
water -tho old Loyalist's heart was
quit of his pangs, and saw only with
certainty ho must abandon ono human
soul to death. By tho time that he
could reach tho larger boat his would
be too near tho rapids for escape with
throo !
When Goorgo saw Bedell in pursuit,
ho bent to his ash blades more strong
ly, and Until trembling to remember
her father's threats, urged her lover
to speed. They feared tho pursuer
only, quiet unconscious that they were
in tue romoroless grasp of tho river.
Ruth had so ofton noeu hor father far
lower down than they hadyot drifted
that she did not realize the truth, and
Georgo, just arrived from a distant dis
trict, was unaware of the long cataracts
above the Falls.
lie was also decoivod by the stroam's
treacherous smoothness and, instead of
half-upward, pulled straight across us
if cor tain ly able to lund anywhere ho
might touch tho American shoro.
Bedoll looked over his shoulder
often. When ho distinguished a wo
man he put on moro force, but slacken
ed soon?tho pull homo would tax his
endurance, ho re fleeted. In some sort
it was a relief to know that ono was
a woman : ho had beon anticipating'
troublo with two men equally bent on
being saved. That tho man would
abandon himself bravely, ho being
brave, scarcely doubted.
For awhilo ho thought of pulling
with the woman to the American
shore, moro easily to ho gained from
tho point where the rescue must oc
cur. But ho rejoctod the plan confi
dent ho could win back, for ho had
sworn never to set foot on that soil.
Had it been possible to save both he
would havo boon forced, despite his
vow, but tho squire knew that was im
no8siblo?throe would overload his boat
beyond escape.
Having carefully studied landmarks
for his position. Bedell turned to l.uik
again at tho doomed boat. At that
glance a well-known ribbon caught his
attention. Tho old man dropped his
oars, confused with horror. "My God,
my God, it's Ruth I" ho cried, and the
whole truth came with anolhor look,
for ho had not forgotten Georgo Win
throp.
"\our father stops, Kuth. Perhaps
ho is in pain," suggested Georgo to the
quaking girl. She looked back.
"What can it bo?"sho orlod, iilial
lovo returning overmaster!ngly.
"Perhaps ho is only tired." Goorgo
all'ectcd carelessness, his first thought
being to secure his bride, and pulled
hard away to got all advantage from
Bodoll's stop.
"Tired! Ho is in danger of tho falls,
thon!" scrcamod Kuth. "Stop! Turn!
Back to him!"
Winthrop instantly prepared tooboy.
"Yos darling," he said, "wo must not
think of oursolvcs. We must go back
to save him!" Yet his was a sore
groan at turning: what duty ordered
wus so hard he must give up his love
for the sake of tho enemy!
But while Winthrop was still pulling
round the old Loyalist resumed rowing
with a moro rapid stroke that soon
brought him ulungsido.
In thoso moments of waitirfg all Bo
dell's life, his porsonal hotrods, his
loves, his sorrows, had boon reviewed
hefoi i his soul. Ho had seen again
his s> is, tho slain in battle, in the
pride 'f tholr young might; and the
gentle eyes of Ruth had ploaded with
him beneath his dead wife's brow.
How poor soomcd hate how mean and
p00r*seemed all but Ixive and loyalty.
Yos, for ho had lookod through tho
veil into tho oternal, too, and stood u
trivial creature, before tho Almighty
knowing his meuning. Whoroforore
solution and doop poaco had como up
on tho man.
Thoy wonderod at his look. No
wrath was there. Tho old oyea were
calm and loving, a gontle smile llick
ored ubout his lips. Ocly that ho was
very pale, Ruth would havo boon whol
ly glad for the happy change
"Forgive, mo, fattier/' she cried, as
m /
ho laid a hand on thoir bout.
1M do. my child," ho answorod.
"Come now without an Instaut dolay
to me."
'?Oh. father, If you would lot us bo
happy!" cried Ruth, heart-torn by two
loves.
"Dear, you shall bo happy. J was
wrong, child, 1 did not undorstand how
you lovod him. Mut oome! You hosi
tuto! Winthrop, my son, you aro In
some danger. Into this boat instantly!
Both of yon! Take the oars, Georgo.
Kiss mo, dear, my Ruth, oneo moro.
Good-bye, my little girl. Winthrop,
be good to her. And may (Jod bless
you both forovorl"
As tho old soldier spoke ho stopped
into the larger boat. Instantly releas
ing the skill". Mis imperative gentle
ness ha?I secured his objoct without
loss of tinu!, and the boats were apart
with Winthrop'? readiness to pull.
"Now row! Mow for her life to yon
der shore! Bow well up! Away! or the
falls will have her."
"Butyou!" orlod Winthrop, bending
for bis Btroko.
Yet ho did not comprehend Bedoll'e
meaning. Till the last the old man
hud spoken without excitement. Dread
of the river was not on George?his
bliss was supremo In his thought, and
ho took tho squire's ordor for one of ex
aggerated alarm.
"Row. I say. with all your strength,"
cried Modell, with a llash of anger that
sent tho young follow away instantly.
"Mow! Concern yourself not for me.
1 am going Home. Mow! for her life,
Winthrop! God will deliver you yet.
"Good-bye, children. Remember al
ways, my blessing is freely given you."
"(Jod bless and keep you forever,
father! " cried Buth, from the distanco,
as her lover pulled away.
Thoy landed, conscious of having
I passod a swift current, indeed: but
I-quite unthinking of the prico paid for
their safety.
Looking back on the darkling river,
thoy saw nothing of the old man.
??Poor father!" sighed Ruth: how
kind ho was! I'm sore-hearted for
thinking of him at home, so lonoly."
Left alone, Modell strotehed With
tho long, heavy oars for his own shore,
making appearance of strong exertion.
1 Mut when he no longer feared that
, they might turn back with sudden un
derstanding, aud vainly, to his aid, ho
' dragged tho boat slowly, watching her
' swift drift down?down toward the
j towering mist.
Then as he gazed at the cloud rising
in two distinct volumes, came a
thought spurring tho Loyalist spirit in
an instant. Thereafter be pulled
steadily, powerfully, noting landmarks
anxiously, studying currents, consider
ing always tin ir trend to or from his
own shore. Half an hour had gone
when he again dropped into slower
motion. Then he could see Goat Is
land's upper end between him and tho
mist of tho American Wall.
Hedell was noaring the first long
swoop downward at tho rapids' head
when those watching him despairingly
from tho high bank below the Chip
pewa River's mouth saw him put his
boat stern with the current and cease
rowing entirely, facing fairly the up
rushing mist to which he was being
hurried. Then thoy observed him
stooping, US if writing, for a time.
And then he knelt with head bowed
down. Kneeling, they prayed, too.

Dr. Pope was interviewed by your
correspondent today. In view of the ro
BUlt Of tho Reform convention, and tho
foregone nomination to bo made In
Columbia on Thursday. Tho inter
view was as follows:
"Doctor, I would like you to explain
your position in refusing to go before
the Reform primary."
"I am standing squarely on the Re
form platform in refusing to go into
the preliminary primary,
n "Tho March convention In 1800 de
clared fo ? a primary of the white peo
ple of thr State?not Mcformors alone,
but of all the white people. The Dem
ocratic convention which met in Au
gust. 18!)0, composed almost entirely of
Reform delegates, compromised with
tho low country by having a primary
for dologates in each county instead of
a direct primary because thoso people
claimed that a direct primary would be
unfair to them, as the hulk of the white
vote was from Columbia up to the
mountains, consequently they claimed
that they would have but little voice
in the selection of candidates. The
representation agroed upon was double
the members of tho General Assembly.
This was follow ed in 1800 and 1802. In
1800 the Conservatives had two candi
dates, Messrs. Mratton and Karle, both
went, into the general primary, the Re
formers had but one. In 1802each had

Columbia Register, 10th ii?t.
General Bllerbo returned to the oily
yesterday from his homo in Marien. |
where he has been since tho'ending of
tho campaign. A Register reporter
saw him and asked htm for an expres
sion of opinion on Saturday's election.
His remarks were characteristic of tho
man.
"Well, I'm licked," he said, "and I
know it. but 1 am not doing any kick
ing, i am going to support Mr. Kvans
and I advise and urge all my friends to
do so. It is the business and the duty
of every true Roformur to uphold the
action of Saturday's prl maries. 1 spoke
In every county in the State except one,
and that was because I could not got
there. 1 went into this business in
good faith and I am going to stand to
tho rack, fodder or no fodder."
All of General Ellerbc's friends?that
Is, his loading friends?stich men a*
Neal, Norton and others, have fallen
into line and will tight for Mr. Kvans
if there Is any oppo-dt ion to him. They
will light Dr. l'ope or any man who
comes out before tho regular Democrat*
ie. primary or as an independent candi
date. There was a good deal of talk
yesterday about an independent candi
date, ono who would reeoivo the Censor
vativo vote and the vote of tho dissatisfi
ed Roformers,if thoro be any of that fac
tion. Some of tho warmest friends of
Senator Evans believe that there will
be strong opposition to him yet. If
this should bo tho case every Reform
er will he needed.
Ono thing which has caused more
comment than all others is tho ox
tromoly light voto polled in every
county. A great many people have
attributed it to tho opposition to the
convention pluu. The Alliance is
charged with having held back and
with not participating, the object be
ing to be in a position to do as it saw
(it toward any nominee. Most of Gen
oral Ellerbc's friends take the ground
that the voto is a silent ami strong
protest against tho convention plan.
Governor Tillman was nskod his
opinion on the vote. lie said that the
people had never seemed much Inter
ested in tho gubernatorial light, but
that all interest was centred in the
Senatorial light. They did not cure
much who was nominated for Governor.
Another thing was that the farmers
were taking advantage of the sunshine
to work their crops, rain for over u
month having delayed them and hav
ing given t he grass a big hold.
Talking ou the result of t he election
Governor Tillman said that he believed
the Dispensary was the chief Issue and
that that was the trump card on which
Senator Kvans had been victorious.
A newspaper reporter who was pres
ent suggested that tiie Governor hiin
; self had been the trump card on which
' Kvans had been nominated.
I The Governor answorod this hint by
saying that he had never written a lino
or said a word in favor or against any
of tho candidates in the race. He
again repeated that he had held hands
off and charged the Conservative nou s
papers with heing responsible for tho
wide-spread opinion that he was back
ing Senator Kvans. He reiterated
. that the Reform movement is as solid
as tho rocks of Glbraltor.
The people of Marion County must
like General Kllerbo as few men are
liked in their counties. They turned
out overwhelmingly 011 Sat urday and
gave him 1,705 votes. Tindal got5 und
Kvans 0. This was the largest vote
polled iu any county in propol ion to the
number of Reformers. In fact it came
near being the full Reform vote of that,
county. No more complimentary vote
could havo boon given a man and it
testifies in strong terms to thostuuding
of tho Swamp Kox in his native county.
