Inches beneath the surface. The ab
dominal cavity contained two quarta of

Do Betti# la Session.
Paris, June 27.—A meeting of repub
lican members of the senate and cham
ber of deputies was held yesterday af
ternoon, to decide u;#)n a candidate for
president to be voted for at Veraalles to
day. The proceeding* were charac
terized throughout by an indescribable
noiaa and continuous brawling.
Deputies and senators shouted at the
top of their voices over one another#
heads. Some demanded a vote without
debate. Blows were exchanged by sev
eral members and ink stands were
thrown about freely. Deputy Marc
Soset, member for Ardiche tried to
stand upon the table, and was nulled
forcibly to the floor by M. Betreaux,
member for Seine-Eth-Oise. Another
member who tried to hide the ballot
box was struck and knocked down.
Finally some of tbe calmer members
proposed a recess and motion to adjourn
was carried. A large number remained
in the hall, however, and after a short
period of quietness, Senator Da Varni-
nac, who presided, asked whether the
meeting desired to vote. The tumult
was renewed immediately and salt was
impossible to restore order. M. Dever-
nlnac declared the meeting closed and
left the tribune.
Free fighting ensued for fully a quar
ter of an hour. Eventually the hall was
cleared. The conflict was provoked by
the socialists and the extreme radicals,
in order to prevent a decisive vote.
During the fighting, Deputy Hum
bert, socialist, seized the ballot box in
which a vote wss being taken and
breaking It up. threw the peicea in the
faces of his opponents. Under the cir
cumstances a record of the vote was
considered worthless.
Two hundred republicsas met subse
quently la the committee room. Depu
ty Delo-Montaud, presiding. Resolu
tions were adopted expressing the sor
row of the moderate members of the
party that the plenary assembly had
been prevented from accomplishing its
purpose by such tumultuous scenes and
accusing the socialists of purposely ob
structing the proceedings.
It was decided that the only resource
was to go to Versailles without prepa
ratory decisions as to the presidency,
and that this course was likely to en
sure the election of M. Casmir-Perler.
The socialist deputies had delegated
Jaures, Hugues. Jourde. Tillerand.
Grousset, Hovelacque and Peirre Rich
ard to attend the plenary meeting and
act in concert with the advanced re
publican senators in the choice of a
candidate who would not combat the
socialists.
Later in the day the three republican
scnatorlalgroups—the Centre, the I-eft
republicans,and the unionists republi
cans—met to choose a candidate for the
presidency. A ballot was taken with
this result: Cssimir-Perier, 144; Du-
puy, 15; Brisson, 5; Defrsieaet, 4; Ara-
go, 2; Loubel, 1; Constant 2: Cavignac,
1. No representatives of these groapt
attended the panary meeting. Deputy
Pelletan, radical, complains that he
was struck in the face with an ink
stand during the tumult in ths plenary
meeting. Deputy Hauzet, who was
pulled off the table during the tumult,
has challenged M. Betreaux to a duel.
The seconds named by M. Sauzet have
declined to act.

LAST WEEK OF TARIFF
The Final Vote In the Senate la
-■•••■-anted on Thursday.
THE AMENDMENTS TO THE IXCOJIE TAX.
In th# lions# th# Hill to Admit Now M#xlv#
As u Stulc Will Hold Fro##d#nr# Af
ter Tu#sdnj - Other Matters
Awaiting Their Tura.
Washington, June 25.—Party leaders
on both sides of the chamber agree that
this week will see the tariff bill out of
the senate; as to the precise date there
is a divergence of opinion. Senators
Harris and Jones expect to see the final
vote taken not later than Tuesday eve
ning. Senator Aldrich, on the republi
can side, says it may be taken then, but
it will more likely be Thursday. Sen
ator Allison says the vote may be taken
Thursday, but he hardly thinks it will
be reached before Saturday.
The republicans, it is understood,
have not abandoned their intention of
fully debating certain propositions
found in the bill, such as the sugar
schedule; its alleged connection with
the trust and the investigation now go
ing on; neither will they overlook the
abandonment of the reciprocal or com
mercial arrangement# made under the
provisions of the McKinley act
It is believed that tha income tax
part of the bill will he eoncluded today
and possibly the Internal revenue para
graph. A large number of amendment*
still to be offered to the income tax and
the attack the republicans intend mak
ing on the increase In the tax on whis
key may, however, prevent these mat
ters from being disposed of in one day.
In the UotiMe.
The absence of Weaker Crisp from
the House last week prevented the com
mittee oa rules, in whose hands are the
proposed destinies of legislation 'n the
house, from arranging a programme of
business for tbe coming week. It will
not be absolutely necessary for them
to do anything in the matter before
Tuesday or Wednesday, for tbe rules
of the House and pending business are
sufficient to provide for the first two
days. This being the 4th Monday of
the month, is set aside for considera
tion of business relating to the local
affairs of the district of Columbia.
When the house adjourned on Satur
day, the general deficiency appropria
tion bill for the current year waq the
unfinished business of the whole—the
quasllon of paying nearly half a mil
lion dollars of judgments of the court
of claims on account of Indian depre
dations ; and the balance of a year's
l-alaries to the families of three deceas
ed members, one of whom died as far
bask as the 41st congress promised to
require an ordinary day’s session for
their settlement The probabilities
seem to be, therefore, that other gen
eral legialation will not be consideied
before Wednesday,
There are half dozen measures on the
calender whose advocates are desireous
of securing recognition, but the bill to
admit New Mexico as a state of the
union, stands the best show for first
place.
Another bill that nestles in the good
graces of the leaders is that introduced
by Representative Cooper of Indiana,
authorizing the states to tax green
backs as gold and silver are taxed.

Take a Laugh.
There is absolutely nothing that

well as a good laugh. Laugh all you

if the cat tips over the milk and the

children fall into the mud simul
taneously with-the advent of clean
aprons, if the new girl quits in the
middle of house-cleaning and though
you search the earth with candles
you can find none other to take her
place; if tbe neighbor in whom you
have trusted goes back on you and
keeps chickens, if the chariot wheels
of the uninvited guest draw near
when you are out of provender and
the gaping of your empty purse
is like the unfilled mouth of ft
young robin, take' courage if you
have enough sunshine in your heart
to keep* laugh on your lips.—Ex-

SAFE FROM RUST.
Sheat-lron Covered by Tar and Then
Heated In.
For the protection of sheet-iron
pipes from the rust tarring is now
largely resorted to, as a method
alike simple, economical and effec
tive. The sections, as made, are for
this purpose coated with coal tar,
and then filled with light wood shav
ings and the latter set on fire, the
effect of this treatment, it seems, be
ing to render the iron practically
proof against rust for an indefinite
period, and rendering future paint
ing unnecessary. In confirmation
of this, the instance is cited of a
chimney of sheet iron erected in
1801!, which, through being subjected
to the treatment in question, is
bright and sound to-day as when
erected, though never having had
any paint applied to it since. It is
suggested that by strongly heating
the iron after the tar is laid on the
outside the latter becomes literally
burned into the metal, closing the
pores and rendering it rust proof, In
a far more complete manner than if
the tar itself be first made hot and
applied to cold iron, according to the
usual practice pursued. It is a mat
ter of importance, of course, in car
rying out this method with iron
pipes, not only that the iron should
not he kept too hot, but that the
iron should not be kept hot for too
long a time, lest the tar be bunted
off; and hence the desirableness of
using light shavings instead of any
other means of heating.
