unnecessary bloodshed.

Thompson, Ga., May 23.—The cold
wave has done considerable damage to
crops. Cotton, while not killed, is ap

doubt result in poor stands. Some of
the leaves look as if scalded with hot
water, and will powder up if
rolled between the fingers. The bud
is not materially injured. Okra
and other such tender plants, if not
killed, are seriously injured. Water
melons are more or less damaged.

‘•THE END IS SIGHT,” SAYS ONE.
In th« lions# General Legislation Will Con
sume the Week—Busy Days Ahead
for Kepresentires In Both the
Branches of Congress.
Washington, May 32.—“Th# end la
in sight,” remarked Senator Jones, of
the finance committee, “and we expect
to be-in gathering taxes under the
Wi.son bill on the first day of July,
which begins the new fiscal year.”
This statement was indorsed by Mr.
Harris The fact that beginning today
the senate meets at 10 o'clock, and the
belief that the re publicans hare de
cided not to interpose unreasonable
oppos'tion or prolonged debate on the
bill, lead the managers of the bill to
take a cheepful view of the situation.
Messrs Harris, Voorhees and Jones, of
Arkansas, assert that they have the 43
votes necessary to pass the bill. The
republican leaders admit the impossi
bility of consolidating their votes into
a cohesive whole, t abject to the call of
the parliamentary managers. The
metal schedule has now been reached
and but two more schedules remain to
he acted upon before the sugar sched
ule is called up. Democrats assert that
they will finish the metal and wood
schedules this week, but republicans
say the debate on iron ore and the
manufacturer of iron will he protected,
and that the metal schedule cannot
possibly be disposed of this week, leav
ing the free lumber debate to follow a
week later.
No set speeches have been arranged
on the tariff, hut it is probable that
Mr. Quay will come to the front again,
as his state is especially interested in
the metal schedule. Mr. Quay's speech,
bo fur as it has been delivered—in in
stallments April 14, 18 and 3U and May
P, 4 and 8—would make over 150closely
printed newspaper columns
With seven and a half hours a day for
the consideration of the pending bill
during the current week, it would seem
that some headway ought to be made.
Mr. Morgan is anxious to have the
Chinese treaty disposed of, and It may
happen that Mr. Harris will grant him
an afternoon for this purpose.
Th* Week In th* Houm.
Some general legislation is In sight
in the house this week. The managers
have come to the conclusion that it will
he safe now to intermit for a brief
period their efforts to send appropria
tion hills to the senate inasmuch as
that body is apparently committed to
the tariff bill for a month or more, to
the exclusion of all other business.
Two or three days will be required, it
is believed for the consideration of the
legislative, executive aud judicial ap
propriation hill, which will he taken
up today under the five-minute rule.
Although general debate on the meas
ure has been exhausted, there are
features which will be criticised quite
extensively in short reports Among
these are the provisiona of the bill in
tended to reorganize the accounting
branch of the treasury department,
aboliahing the offices of second comp
troller and deputy second controller,
and reducing the clerical force.
With the final disposal of this meas
ure, consideration of appropriation bills
will be suspended for a time and other
matters taken up. The first of these
will be the Brawley bill to suspend the
operation of the 10 per cent tax law
on respect of the clearing house certifi
cates and other substitutes for cur
rency issued during the financial crisis
of last year, reported from the commit
tee on banking and currency. The
amendment to this offered by Mr. Cox,
Democrat, of Tennessee, providing for
the repeal of the law outright, will be
the principal feature of the discussion.
The majority of the committee are com
mitted against the unconditional repeal
of the law, but it is understood that
the great majority of Democrats, all the
Populists and a few Republicans will
vote for the amendment
These two measures are expected te
occupy all of the week. Should their
discussion fall short of that period, the
Hatch anti-option bill will be taken up.
FATHER MALONE ON TRIAL.
The Opening of the Celebrated Denver
Catholic Excommunication Case.
Denver. Col., May 22.-The excom
munication trial of Father Malone
opened this morning. Father Malone,
rector of one of the Denver Catholic
parishes and editor of the leading
Catholic paper in the far west, has,

ished with excommunication. Arch
bishop Salpointe, of Santa Fe, presided
over the court by which the questions
at issue will be tried, and the celebra
ted Dr. Burtsell, of New York, will
conduct the defense of the accused

among others, Messrs. Adolph Block
and Jules Lebe, his brother-in-law.
The negro took offense at something
that was said and went off and got his
gun and returned. Seeing this Messrs.
Block and Lebe armed themselves In
the shooting which followed Messrs.
Adolph Block snd Jules Lebe and the
negro were killed outright. Mr. Block
is a young man who came to this par

*«- n d Turf,
New York, May 23. —Notwithstand
ing occasional heavy showers and
cloudy, threatening weather, over three
thousand persons attended the races at
Gravesend yesterday. The talent looked
for “mud” horses and did not care much
for anything else. There were two
stake races on the program —the Sea
side stakes for two-year-olds and the
Gazette stakes for fillies three years
old. Dreibund was the favorite in the
former race, but finishAl in the ruck.
Tancred, a 15 to 1 shot, won. Tha race
for the Gazette stakes went to the
favorite, Nahma. The result of the
first race was a blow to the talent, who
backed Herkimer heavily. Applause,
a second favorite, won handily by two
lengths. The second and fifth were
won by those good mud horses, Hlitzen
and Hoey. The last race resulted in a
big surprise for the talent. Aurelian
defeated the crack three-year-old Dob
bins quite handily.
