TARIFF BILL DEBATED. Lively Talk by Ways and Means Committee Members. DEMOCRATS OBJECT TO SCHEDULES They Deny. Il'iwerer, Any Intent to !" lay the Kill leclare They Want It I'aisrd to See Whether It Will or Not Kemtore I'rosperity. Washixotos, March 17. The Demo cratic members of the ways and means committee received their first official in formation on the new tariff bill when the bill was considered at a secret ses sion of the lull committee. Chairman Dingh y announced that he desired to report "the bill to the iionse when it meets at noon tomorrow. Mr. McMilIiu (Dem., Tenn.) complained that this plan would not give the Democrats sufficient time to analyze the measure and prepare a report. The Democrats contended that they had treated the Republican members more generously in the matter of time when the Wiison bill was framed. Half an hour was consumed iu sparring over this point and no definrte conclusion was reached. Three hours were spent in analysis of the bill by sections, the Republican members of the committee who had been most active in the preparation of the various sch edules explaining the changes made from existing rates and comparing the proposed duties with the McKinley act. Chairman Dingley and Mr. Payne of New York discussed the chemical schedule, Mr. Doliver of Iowa, the agricultural schedule ; Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, lumter; Mr. Payne, sugar, and Mr. Dalzell, glass, earthenware and metals. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama ami Mr. McMillin took the leading part in the discussion for tiie Democrats. Concerning the suar schedule Mr. Payne asserted that it was practically a return to the law of Ib'M. He repre sented that the proposed rates would be equivalent to an ad valorem duty of 72 per cent on S5 per cent of all the pugar imported. He said that the schedule contained no concealed differ ential between raw and refined sugar guch as the Wilson bill had. While the revenue which sugar would yield had not been actually calculated it would bring from $16,000,000 to fls.OOO.OOO more into the treasury than under the Wilson law. ilr. Roleitsou, of Louisiana, a Democrat, gave an opinion that $50,000,000 could be ex-pec-ted from this sugar schedule. In the consideration of the agricul tural schedule Mr. Dolliver explained that the countervailing duty on fish to offset bounties paid by foreign govern ments was directed against France. The Democrats objected to the imposition of a duty of one-half cent on fresh water fish, which are now on the free list. They also contended that the proposed rates on seeds are double the McKinley duties. The southern members took an interest in the rice paragraphs. It was explained that the increased rate on broken rice had been levied to discour age the growing X'ractice of breaking rice, which is brought in for the use of breweries before its importation to se cure the advantage of the cheaper rates. The duty of 3 cents a pound on chickory root, which is now on the free list, and which is used as an adulteration of coffee, Mr. Dolliver explained, was for the lenefit of the middle west, where chickory growing is a new industry. When the glass schedule was reached Mr. Wheeler criticised the increase in duties on the cast polished plate glass, 16x24, from H to 9 cents, and on 24x30, from 10 to 13 cents, the increase being over the McKinley rates. Mr. Dalzell said that it had been demonstrated that the McKinley duties on plates these sizes were not protective, but to offset these increases the rates on plates of higher grades had been reduced. The imposition of a duty on cotton ties, now on the free list, was also op posed by the Democrats. Mr. Wheeler said the American manufacturers were able not only to supDly the home mar ket, but to till the large orders for India without any protection on the article. It was contended by the Democrats that the additional duty of one-fourth cent on all articles of steel, finished cold, would prove very far reaching in its scope. The average rate of cutlery was stated to be about 46 per cent. The Democrats opposed also the pro posed duty of f 2 a thousand on white piue. which is double the McKinley rate. They also criticized the para graph placing telegraph and telephone poles and railroad ties of cedar and all other woods under a 20-per cent duty. The other woods are not now dutiable, and the opponents of the new bill as serted that they constitute the most ex tensive class. The Democratic mem bers of the committee will offer amend ments to the bill in the committee meet ings as a matter of form. Their amend ments will, of course, be rejected by the Republicans. In its second session of the day the committee finished the review of the bill, but did not go so much into de tail in the last schedules. Mr. Evans if Kentucky explained the spirits and wines scnedule. ihe Democrats op posed the advance on brandies from (1. SO to $i.0 on the ground that it en couraged the placing on the market of spurious goods, imitations of standard brands. Mr. Russell of Connecticut explained that the cotton schedule was practically the Wilson rates reduced from ad valorem to specific. It was remarked by a Democratic member that Senator Aldrieh of Rhode Island and not Mr. 'Wilson, was the author of the cotton chedule, which the senate incorporated in the Wilson bill. Mr. Payne said that the hemp, flax and jute schedule was practically that of the McKinley act, with the blanket clause on hemp", flax and ramie increased from 35 to 50 per cent. The Democrats criticised the restoration of duties on cotton bagging, which is now on the free list. The other schedules were gone through in formally. The Democrats criticised the transfer of many articles from the free list to the sundries schedule with duties, but were disposed to acquiesce In the action of the Republicans in placing a duty of $1 a ton on peat moss, at the instance of Mr. Dolliver to en courage an infant industry. The committee adjourned until to morrow morning, but the Democratic members had a conference today to out line their policy. Mr. Bailey of Texas, the recent Demo cratic candidate for speaker, said in the committee that the Democrats were anxious to hasten rather than delay the passage of the bill, both to stop the pos sible rush of imports into the country and to give the Republicans an oppor tunity to demonstrate that a high tariff could relieve the country of financial depression. .

Ex United Stares Senator Ingalls is here to report the fiht for a New York news paper. He said on his arrival that he did not know muc h about prizefighting, either in theory or in practice. But lie was very willing to learn and accepted an invitation to visit Corbett's quarters. The ex-senator looked as though he rather regretted the trip when ushered into the smoky barroom at Shaw's Springs, filled as it was with brawny, strong jawed dovotees of the game.who stared suspiciously at the gentleman from Kansas. There was little chance for escape, however, and he followed his escort into Corbett's parlor, where introductions ensued. He asked some questions so foreign to fighting that they floored Corbett. and to cover his visitor's confusion he be gan a little rapid work with the dumo bells. Mr. Ingalls hastily retreated to a far corner of the room, from which he viewed the work with evident ad miration. 'I think you must be a very nice fighter. Mr." Corbett." said the senator, when the exhibition was finished, "and I think you will beat Mr. Fitzsimmons. We are both American citizens, and, of course, I svmpafhize always with Amer icans. I don't know your opponent, but 1 don't think he can whip you, you are so big, von know." Mr. Ingalls soon drove back to town, where he met (rovernor Sadler, and the two visited Dan Stuart's big arena. Covernor Sadler then took him to dinner ar the executive mansion. Mr. Ingalls also met Parson Davies, Mul doon, Tom Sharkey, Prof. Donaldson and many other men prominent in pugilistic circles and appears to enjoy himself immensely. MISSISSIPPI STILL RISES. People Standing In the Water Praying 1'or Kecue. Memphis, March 17. The Missis sippi river at Memphis gauges a frac tion over 36.5 feet. The river contin ues to rise slowly. Two negroes, whe live near Marion, Ark., attempted tc cross Mound lake in a dugout when they were caugiit in the mighty cur rent, their boat capsized at they were swept away. The change in the situa tion in the past 24 hours has been de cidedly for the worst in every respect ; far as the flood and the flood victims are concerned. Localities that were expected, up tc the last moment, to withstand the over flow are at last under water. People who thought thoy were safe from tne angry river find themselves hemmed in, and their danger is the greater because of the confidence that prevented them from providing against them. Prom every direction comes reports of unexpected and unprecedented dis aster. At Marion and at the adjacent conn try 40o people are reported to be lined up ou the railroad track, over which oc casional waves sweep that threaten tc carry off the desperate people and live stock that there find a precarious house house. Down on President's island it is learned that from 50 to 100 people are standing in the water and praying for the sight of a bout to take them off. MAY SEND WOLCOTT TO EUROPE. Likely to lie the New Itimetallic Con ference Cum missioncr- Washixotos, March 17. Senator Wolcott says that he knows nothing of any intention on the part of President McKinley to ask him to go to Europe as a commissioner ou behalf of this gov ernment to continue his negotiations looking to an international agreement on silver. He made the statement upon being shown an article in a New York paper saying that he would be asked by the president to accept this mission, but declined to discuss the question further. Inquiry among senators interested in the bimetallic movement develops the fact that some understanding lias been reached that a special commission or commissioner will be selected under the law of tne last congress, who will go abroad to forward bimetallism. It is believed that Senator Wolcott will be selected because he h;is already been abroad, and. from the reports he has brought back, is looked uiron as the proper man to make the effort, under the authorization of law and appoint ment by the president. It is stated that nothing has yet been definitely settled. ENGLAND AND SPAIN. Complications lirtween Thein Over the Filibustering Srcamer llermiicla. Washington, March 17. An inter esting complication, it is said, is likely to arise in the ne;ir future between the British embassy and the Spanish lega tion here over the filibustering steamer Bermuda. The recent prolonged trip of the Bermuda from Philadelphia to Ber muda and back to Fernandina is a mystery yet to be solved, but it is said to be certain that she did not take on arms or men from the United States. If she ha been engaged in filibus tering she must have taken on her cargo ami men on the high seas. As the Bermuda is a British vessel, she is believed to be liable under the British foreign enlistment act rather than the American neutrality laws and there fore the British and Spanish diplomats here, it is exjiected, will exchange notes on the subject. Last summer the British embassy took away the Ber muda's British register on representa tions of the Spanish government, but it was restored a few months ago at Halifax. A FUGITIVE CAUGHT. Ihe State Prpnrlinrnl Secures a Man In South Africa. Washington, March 17. The state department has managed with great ex pedition to 'atch a fugitive from justice half way round the globe.

A cablegram was sent at o-ice to the United States cimsnl at that place and as the man lainh d fiom the steamer next day he walked directly into the hands of the officers who were await ing him.

WENT THROUGH 0 THIRD KEAMNtt K-enator Fliun Caused Surprise by Sup porting the Measure Mi;ee Opposed It All Amenilineuts I. feted I ire In vestigation ifeport The House Si-aiiou. II arrisbi'ro, March 17. A lively de bate has occurred in the senate over the civil service bill. Alter nraver tiie regular business was taken up. There was not a sinule bill presented and the calendar was pro ceeded with. The first measure to come up was the civil service bill, which was on third reading. Mr. Uobin, the author of the bill, made a speech in favor of it. Senator Crouse moed to amend it so that it would not ref.-r to the positions of assistant cash iers in the odice of the receiver of taxes ill Philadelphia. There was quite a discussion over the bill. To the surprise of the anti-Ojuay people. Senator Flinn opposed the amendment. He said that he believed the act was a good one, but that it did not extend far enough. He said : "I know that this bill was conceived by the senior senator from this state in order to embarrass some of his jolitical opponents, but that does not matter This is the entering wedge, and while it is a political necessity now. it will be in operation only a short time until it will have to be extended all over the state. I know that this will drive out of jwilitics all the young men, and I don't know just who will support poli tics in the future, as there can be no assessments from officeholders. I elon'r. know, but I believe that it will result in the corporations paymgthe expenses. I know that today one tf the biggest firms in the United States, ye-s, I guess in the world, is supporting the domi nant faction in this state, and they are instructing their men to vote for the friends of that faction. There is a de mand on the part of the peoplo outside of iolitics to have some law of this kind. I said I would vote for it and I will. 'It took the senior senator 30 years to reach the position where he thought civil service was the proper thing, and it h;is only taken me a few months. So I will go with him." Senator Uobin said that he did not think the senior senator should bn charged with the authorship of the bill. He said the senior s nater favored it. but the stan; convention had approved the bill and made it a part of its plat form. Senator Ma gee then took a hand in the discussion. He s:iid: "I cannot agree with my colleague from Pitts burg, Mr. Flmn. 1 don't think this hill is a good one. 1 don't think it is the proper thing for there to be a law that a certain official in Allegheny county commits a crime if he does a certain thing, while the same class of officials can do the same act in the adjoining county and it should be legal. I don't believe the bill is constitutional, and for that reason I will vote against it. This bill says that no employe can be discharged except by the civil service commission, yet the constitution of this commonwealth plainly states that any appointive officer can be removed by the aj pnintmg power." This ended the discussion and the bill parsed ith only a few dissenting votes. All amendments offered were defeated. Senator Heller presented the report of the sub-committee apioiiited to in vestigate the state capitol fire. This is the second report of the committee. When the first report was presented the senate sent it back for more informa tion. In the present report the com mittee tiled a copy of all the subpn-nas in tne case and tiie papers. It recites the fact that the minister refused to testify and it asks that Dr. Swallow be brought be tore th! bar of the senate and asked to give the names of his in formants and upon his refusal the pre siding office r shall issue a commitment for contempt, if the senate so decides. The report was laid on the table for the time being. The following bills were passed finally : A further supplement to an act en titled, "an act to regulate the practice of pharmacy and sale of poisons and to prevent adulterations of tlrugs and medicines prepared in the state of Pennsylvania," approved May 2, lssT. A supplement to an act entitled, "an act providing for the incorporation and government of cities of the third class," ' approved May 23. 18s!, and pro viding tor tiie assessment and collec tion of special tuxes upon abutting properties tor street sprinkling and street cleaning. An act to prevent manufacturers and contractors or oth' r employes of labor f r ( in di-criminating against emploves bt cause they are members of labor unions. An act to equalize the levy and col lection of assessments for local im provements in boroughs and cities of the state of Pennsylvania except in cities of the first class. An act to provide for the collection of interest in addition to all costs, charges and penalties upon all taxes returned for the purpose of creating or continu ing a lieu upon real estate and repeal ing all acts or parts of acts inconsistent therewith. An act fixing the salaries of the dep uty sheriffs other than that of the chief or real estate deputy in counties co-extensive in boundary with cities of the first class. After numerous bills of minor import ance were passed finally Mr. Kennedy asked unanimous consent to read a bill in place, and then presented the Lyon classification act. which was referred to the committee cm municipal affairs. The bill providing for a popular vote at the primaries in all senatorial, legis lative and congressional districts, com posed of two or more counties, was called up. There was some discussion of the bill. Senator Flihn objected to it, saying it was one of the alleged re form bills that only reformed where it did not affect the majority faction. Mr. Kennedy wanted unanimous consent to amend the bilL Mr. Flinn objected, and the senate went into committee of the whole. The hill permitting poolselling at reg ularly organized race tracks passed the senate finally. The state college bill, making the state responsible for all the debts of the college, was discussed for some time and then held over. After the calendar was fairly well cleaned up the se nate adjourned. In the house Mr. Patterson offered a resolution providing for the appoint ment of a Tennessee centennial com mission. The object of the commis sion is to prepare a Pennsylyania state exhibit ior the exposition. The com mission will serve without pay. Only two bills were introduced, one Dy Air. Manning, providing foraspeedv hearing in the case of persons alleged to be lunatics, aud the other by Mr. Schrink, creating the office of county so icitor in counties containing 150,000 inhabitants. The bill making an appro priation for the expenses of the Heller Lanbach election contest committee was recommitted to the committee on appro priations. The first bill on the calendar was that of Representative Robb (Allegheny), to authorize the election of two trien nial assessors in the several townships and boroughs not divided into wards. A vote on final passage was taken and the hill was defeated, not having secured a constitutional majority. The vote was 07 for to Hi against. The lolT regulating the mining of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania passed finally by a vote of l.Vi to 4. The bi!l to provide copies of "Small's Legislative Handbook" for the public Schools pas ?d by n vote of 103 to55. The bill : emulating the manufacture and sale o" distilled and fermented vinegars w: 5 passed finally. The senat resolution instructing the senate and house committees on public buildings to confer with the governor on the new capitol question and make a report not later than March " was taken from the table and killed. The house passed several WIN of minor im portance aud then adjourned. BETHANY WILL CONTINUE. Hat the 1-1 College Needs Help Very Itadly. PiTTSBt Kti. March 17. The directors of Bethany college. Bethany, W. Va., held a meeting at the Seventh Avenue hotel last evening to decide whether the oldest college of the Campbellite de nomination, organized by Alexander Campbell, founder of the Disciple church, was to be closed owing to finan cial dirficultir's. The trustees were loth to close the in stitution, and finally decided to negoti ate a loan to tide over the temporary embarrassment and to appeal to the great brotherhood of disciples through out the country to c me to the relief of the institution by the next annual com mencement. The facalty is in debt about 20.000. The institution holds many notes ou which it is impossible to collect. It is also endowed with -10,000, which is not available at present, aud may not be for some time. Central IVnnsylvanla Conference. Ci.KAunrin, Pa., March 17.

It is the general belief here that nothing now can pre vent war, and that the government lias its plan of campaign fully prepared. The cabinet has had a long session as to the attitude to be taken in face of the coercive program of Furope and it is rejKJrted that a decision was reached to take active measures, as being the only solution possible for Greece. The center of interest is now trans ferred from Crete to the Macedonian frontier. It is evident from the haste which the government has displayed in getting a 1 its available troops off by sea before the commencement of the blockade that there is a strong convic tion that they will be needed at once. With the sea route closed, the trans portation of troons must be overland, and this would be an exceedingly slow and difficult process, owing to the lack of horses and the very incomplete rail way system in the northern portions of Greece. Many of the war corresjKMid ents have already arrived at Volo, Larissa and other frontier points. It is reported that the Turkish forces on the Macedonian frontier are raising a double line of fortifications and being constantly reinforced from Salonica. Cvxka, March 17. Colonel Vassos has transff red his headquarters to Sphakia, the most mountainous and in accessible position in the island. This is held to indicate that Greece is firmly resolved not to recall her troops, a step which is regarded as impossible in the face of the strong national feeling. Colonel Vassos will strongly fortify his new camp, which is revictualed for several months. He is now able to await the progress of events. A RU5H OF VISITORS. Cahlnet Meeting III.l Not Keep Them Away Iroui the White House. Washington, March 17. The crowd of visitors at the White House was un diminished by ihe knowledge that it was cabinet clay and that the president would not be able to see any callers. The cabinet assembled promptly with every member present. Before "begin ning to disjwise of the business before them the cabinet officers gave an op portunity to several professional photo graphers to secure group pictures. The meeting was rather long, but this was to be exiK-cted in view of the fact that it was really the first business session that has been had since M;irch 4. the preceding meetings being consumed largely in general discussion and not touching upon the details of depart ment routine liecau.se of lack of famil iarity with the subjects. Secretary Sherman came over from the state de partment w ith a number of papers re lating to the business of the (state de partment. THE MARKETS. I'lTTsnL-uo. March 16. WHEAT Xo. 1 red.
