quarters. State Chairman Ciarman
made a speech in favor of the l'ittsburg

Is the rapid development of Southern

exjortations China alone absorbed more

f-omo c ;hd severest criticisms not
only of s: . duties and clauses, but
of "ti i . . accursed protective sys
tem, cciue from the protected manufac
turers tin -inst Ives in their Ftm'f?le with
opposing int. rests. Mr. S. N. D. North,
secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers
association, is now aud always has been
a suuoh jrotectionist. As Fucb he be
lieves that the 70,000.000 consumers of
this country are legitimate subjects for
plunder aud that the manufacturers
are the prr.per persons to enjoy the pro
tection plunder.
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, besides
being an object lesson iu the way of
cheap woolens has taught the woolen
manufacturers that they can make as
much or more profit with free wool and
moderate protection, which permits peo
ple of moderate means to wear real
woolen goods, than with high duties on
both wool and woolens, which restricts
the use of w oolens to people iu gcod cir
cumstances. The manufacturers there
fore display more than their usual mod
esty and patriotism iu the advice which
they aro giving to congress, Mr. North
is iu Washington to voice the manufac
turers' patriotism. Here is part of his
advice as taken from the Washington
correspondence cf The Dry Goods Econ
omist: I am free to Kay the bill Is far from satisfac
tory to the wovli n manufacturers. The chief
fault is to be found with the raw wo.,1 duties,
which are so hitch that our manufacturers will
find themselves rely emltfirra.ssed. It is true
the committee hart provided compensatory
duti-s which are probably sufficient to offset
the duties on raw wool, but the difficulty will
be, in my opinion, that tho very considerable
increase in price which must b made to cover
the additional cfist of raw material will have
the effect of cutting down consumption to an
extent that will lie disastrous to the manufac
turers. I do not contend that the rates on
woolen manufactures in tho bill are not suffi
cient to protect us atcainst too severe foreign
competition, but the limit of the consumer's
purchasing power must control him in buying
woolen manufactures, and I fear the rates of
the new bill will very materially restrict con
Bumpt ion.
This is practically saying to Dingley,
Aldrich and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washington:
"Go slow with your high duties and
don't try to protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody oatside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake of
taxing raw materials too high. We
wouldn't mind it if we could sell our
goods aud charge the tax over to the
consumer. 13ut wnen tne tax is so nign
that we have to make our prices almost
out of sight we have found that we can
not sell so many goods, because the peo
ple can't afford to wear clothes that
is, woolen clothes, which are the only
ones worth considering because they are
the only ones which we manufacture.
Our solicitude for the dear American
consumer is such that we do not wish
to compel him to clothe himself in the
skins of beasts, which are neither fash
ionable nor healthful. Le t us not tax
him to death. Let us be reasonable and
encourage him to live and to wear
clothes. By so doing we can keep our
mills running and give employment to
American workingnien at American
w ages, which, after all, is the chief ob
ject aimed at by us protected manufac
turers." Bvrou W. Holt.
Champ Clark of Missouri is not only
one of the w ittiest men in the house of
representatives, but he is one of the
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some of the rates of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how a man of
the name of Cioodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced. Then he said:
"Mr. Chairman, that piece of 'soft
soap made it harder for every poor
mau in the United States to build a
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as a trout would swallow
a fly laughter, and next summer some
poor devil eut west, living in a dugout
100 miles from a railroad station, who
voted for McKiuley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his administration and who has not
heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out
that be can build him a two room cot
tage with lumber and other building
Siaterials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
My clear, I am sorry that wo must stay
in the dugout. We cannot build our lit
tle house. A great man by the name of
Governor Dingley has put tho price of
lumber and other things so high that
we cannot do it, but, thauk God, he
has left dragon's blood free. Laughter.
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some mau who has not been
able to buy u coat because of the high
price of woolen cloth will say to his
neighbor, 'There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price of woolen goods. ' But
the successful candidate for the post
office in that district says, 'Oh, but Dol
liver put divi-divi on the free list I
And in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver and
divi-divi forever. " Laughter. Ap
plause on the Democratic side.
Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents a ton. Tho Dingley
bill proposes to make this 75 cents. In
1895-6 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243,835
tons. The exports were 2,246,284. The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc,
123,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
etc., 39,987; from British Columbia,
627,257; exports to these three divisions
respectively, 413 tons, 1.671,302 and
3,094. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate by
a high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as tho corresponding import busi
ness, and it is proposed to run the risk
of ruining the former for tho sake of
screwing $ 350.000 taxes out of the lat
ter, and this on the plea of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
Imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of a paltry
$350,000 to tempt Canada into ruining
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in which "the old
thing works."
"The proposed tariff on lumber," the
Boston Transcript (Rep. ) says, "is sim
ply a mcasme to pick tho pockets and
crush the iudustry of a large, useful and
influential class of American citizens.
It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal.
The statements upon which this schedule
was made up are shown to have been
insidious and misleading. The result
will bo to strip the country not of an
annually recurring income, but of its
white pino principal, which at present
rates is within ten years of exhaustion,
and also to ruin a large class of business
men in this country who deserve better
things. It does not seem possible that
men claiming to represent the people
will permit such a measure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to be folly and become iniquity."
Tho most retroactive feature of the
Dingley bill is the provision for paying
iack to the big manufacturers their cam
paign contributions.
flashiugiou Letter.
Washington, May 1st, 18f.?. The
Democratic members of the senate
finance committee very properly de
clined to agree to the proposition to al
low the amended tariff bill to be report
ed to the senate as soon as the Republi
cans have finished work upon it. which
they say will be the first of next week.
The Democratic members of the com
mittee do not expect to be aide to get
the bill changed ia committee, nor do
they desire to unnecessarily delay either
its report to the senate or its reaching a
final vo:e. but they insist upon taking
time enough to go over the bill, which
has been so extensively changed that it
is practically a new one, in order to ac
quaiit themselves sufficiently with it to
inform their colleagues in the senate,
and the country, why they oppose it, be
fore it is reported to the senate. To
show that the demand is not made for
delay, the Democrats of the committee
have employed two outside tariff ex
perts to assist them in going over the
bill
The belief that Mr. Cleveland wants to
be the Democratic candidate in 1000 is
p-evalent among Democrats in cou
giess, and that his New York speech was
his first move in that direction. Speak
ing on the subject Representative Rich
ardson, of Tenn , said: "As soon as he
was out of office before, a plan of cam
paign was organized in his behalf. Al
though his nomination seemed to be the
result of a popular wave in his favor the
fact is that a sentiment for him was
adroitly stimulated by articles in the
country press and by literature sent out
by mail, both emanating from a head
quarters in New York. His friends had
plenty of money and the same organi
zation is at his disposal to-day. ixe-
oreeentative Bland, of Mo., said: "Yes,
Cleveland hopes to be nominated, aud
he will be, but not by the Democratic
party, which will remain true to the
principles declared at Chicago last year.
He will be the candidate of the handluil
of people at tin Reform Club dinner. I
shall be very glad to see the issue direct
ly made, for I do not believe Mr. Cleve
land will find a corporal's guard to fol
low him. There is one good thing about
the dinner- It shows that there is to be
no concession and no compromise, and
that the Cleveland party will not
coalesce with the 0,500,000 who follow
the regular standard bearer." Represen
tative Stallings, of Ala , said: "I
should not wonder if Clevelanc hopes to
gather to himself the Republicans, es
pecially in the West, who are not favor
able to a high tariff. He will get sup
port from wherever he can and from
whatever party that is willing to help
him iu his ambitions. The Democracy,
however, will go ahead and make its
fight without him." Representative
Carmack, of Tenn., said: "I have
heard the gentlemen who participated
in the Reform Club dinner called the
Waldorf Democracy, because they met
at the hotel of that name, but I call
them the walled-off Democracy, lecause
they are by themselves, representing no
body, and unable to influence a vote. I
have no doubt that Mr. Cleveland or his
friends are scheming to have him nom
inated in l'.HX), but they will certainly
not be successful if they hope to have
him at the head of the regular Democ
racy. He will never be in the ranks of
our party agaiu."
"Teddy" Roosevelt was acting secre
tory of the navy for a whole week but
about the only indication the public had
of it was "T. Roosevelt,, acting secreta
ry printed at the lottom of an adver
tisement for sealed proposals for the pur
chase of the waste paper of the navy de
partment for the fiscal year beginning
July 1st, next. The suggestion has
been made that "Teddy" is a victim of
the tired feeling incidental to the com
ing of warm weather and that he will
have to brace up on tonics before start
ing to get frisky.
Mr. Irin A. Thurston, who was ear
ly in the Cleveland administration given
a hint by the late Secretary Gresham
that his resignation as Hawaiian minis
ter to the United States would le agree
able and who was wise enough to accept
the hint and go home, has been in
Washington for several weeks. He is
now a special annexation commissioner
of the Hawaiian government. He
thought the annexation business was all
fixed, but the fight that is being made
to have a clause inserted in the new tar
iff bill abrigating the treaty with Ha
waii, under which sugar comes into the
U. S. free of duty, has frightened him.
Next to annexation his government val
ues that treaty, which practically
amounts to commercial annexation.
Mr. Thu-ston has filed along argument
against abregation of the treaty with the
senate committee on finance, in which
he endeavors to prove that the treaty is
of great financial advantage to the Uni
ted States.
- It is believed that the action of Pen
sion Commissioner Evans, in calling for
the resignation of every Democratic
chief of division in the tension bureau,
to take effect May 1, indicates what will
le done in all the other departments
with the chiefs and other high-salaried
positions. m.

Uirl Mound Around a Shaft.
Baltimore, May 2 Jessie Stricklin, a
pretty cigarette girl, aged 17 years, had
a narrow escape from death at Marburg
Brothers factory early yesterday morn
ing. As the machinery started the skirt
of Miss Stricklin, who was standing close
to an upright revolving shaft, was drawn
into it, and in an instant she was being
whirled around it. Her screams were
echoed by her horrified companions. A
dozen or more revolutions were made
before the machinery was stopped.
Nearly every bit of her clothing was torn
into ribbons. She was picked up un
conscious, her head shoulders and breast
being covered with blood. When exam
ined at the hospital the physicians were
surprised to learn that no bones had
been been broken and no internal in
juries inflicted. The girl is badly bruis
ed and lacerated but will recover.

Locoiiiotires for Cliiua.
Philadelphia, April 20 As a result
of a contract entered into by the Bald
win Locomotive Works, of this city with
the Chinese government, there are now
12 locomotives, nearly completed and
almost ready for shipment, standing in
the company's shops. This is the first
order of any magnitude ever received
from China by any other firm.
The contract fr these locomotives,
which includes fovir passenger, four
freight and four shifting engines, was
received some months ago and they
have been constructed upon general de
signs furnished by the Chinese govern
ment.while the various details were pre
pared by the firm. In appearance they
resemble the ordinary American loco
motive, although there are several fea
tures that are distinctly English, princi
pal among which is the mounting of the
tenders. These, instead of feing
mounted upon two four wheeled trucks
like the tenters of the American engines,
are mounted upon three pyramids of
two wheels each. The tenders are also
larger.
The engines are to be used on the Im
perial railways of North China.
More Yaillant urvors.
St. John's, N. F., May 3 On Satur
day the brigantine Amendee arrived in
port with four more survivors of the
brigantine Yaillant, which was wrecked
by an iceberg, with fearful loss of life.
Tbe four were picked up April 20. and
were all that were left of 21 men who
had left the sinking vessel in the boat
which was picked up by tbe Aniedee
The men were in a terrible condition.
Their own lives they prolonged by kill
ing and eating the ship's dog, which
had followed faithfully when they left
the sinking ship.
Saturday night the surgeons performed
amputations upon the four brought in
that day. Two who lost their hands
and lower part of their legs, are not ex
pected to recover. The other two, who
underwent similar operations, are some
what better off. The four who were
brought in some time ago are stil
very weak. None of the eight men can
be said to be out of danger.
The 6tory told by the party rescued
last, that the dog food was all they had
to eat, is discredited here by many It
is feared, and believed, that they also
were compelled to resort to human flesh.
Big l'ittsburg Fire.
Pittsburg, May 2. The most destruc
tive fire which has visited this city since
1815 broke out atout midnight in T. C
Jenkins' wholesale grocery house. The
flames spread rapidly from Jenkins' and
soon had consumed several large build
ings in the vicinity. The total loss wiil
be at least 2 00O.OOO. The insurance
cannot be told o-nignt, but it is sup
posed to be well covered.
The origin of the fire in the Jenkins
building is not known, but it is
suposed to have leen smouldering
ing for hours in a dust heap at the foot
of the elevator shaft. The watch
man tried to get the flames under
control, but gave up the attempt and
sent in an alarm.
A general alarm followed, and soon all
the engines in the city were on hand.
It was seen at once that the city fire de
partment was not sufficient, and that
from Allegheny City was called on and
responded quickly, sending almost its
entire force.
A Battle With Mock Thieres.
Little Rock, May 2 Cow-puuchers
in the Indian Territory are running off
the farmers' stoek at an alarming rate.
Early this morning a drove was inter
cepted by the farmers near Eufala, and
an effort made to kill the five men in
charge of it.
About 25 shots were fired and three of
the thieves fell from their horses. The
other two escaped to the woods. Jerry
Wilson, one of the farmers, had his
horse killed and received a dangerous
wound in his left shoulder. P. A. Ber
ry, another farmer, was shot in the right
thigh. Several less dangerous wounds
were sustained by the othere.
Two of the wounded men proved to

A Deadly Joke.
Decatur, Ind., May 5. As the result
of a joke at Markle, near here, last
night, two young men lost their lives
and a third is on the verge of death.
The young men, Davis, Kingman and
Bradenstadt, started out to have a good
time. They went into a drug store,
while the clerk had his back turned they
took a bottle labeled alcohol, bnt which
in reality contained a deadly poison,
and secreting the bottle beneath their
coats, went to the edge of town and
drank tbe contents. In a short time
they were seized with convulsions and a
and a physician was summoned, but he
could afford no relief. Two of the
young men died in terrible agony, while
a third is in a hopeless condition.
Plumbers (Juit Work.
Chicago, May 3. About thirteen
hundred plumbers went on strike this
morning, and work on every building
in course of construction is at a practi
cal standstill. The main point of dif
ference is over the employment of help
ers, the Union insisting that not more
than one helper be employed in each
shop. During the day a dozen master
plumbers, representing about a hundred
workmen, signed the agreement. If an
attempt is made to hire non-Union men
to fill the place of the strikers a general
strike of all Unions affiliated with the
Building Trades Uniou may result.

"Washington. May 1. "The issue was
made," as Sieakrr Keerl put it. in the
house yesterday on the speaker's pol
ity of postponing the appointment of
committees. Mr. Simpson, of Kansas,
brought it on by another attack upon
the sjeaker. which moved Mr. Keed
to challenge him to propose u. resolu
tion instructing the speaker to ap
point the committees. The Kansan
evaded this challenge, but Mr. I-evis.
a new Democratic member from Wash
ington, took up the fjaur.t let which th-;
sticaker had thrown down and moved
the adoption of the resolution of the
tenor sujisesu d by Mr. Heed. Then
Mr. Klcniitii:. of tleoriria. olTered a
substitute enibodyiiiK the instructions
in different terms, and Mr. Dingley,
the Republican leader, to make the
issue plain, as he said, presented an
other substitute directing tho speaker
to appoint the committees "immedi
ately." When the vote was taken "n tho
proposition the speaker was sustaned
by practically the solid vote of his
party, assisted by "3 Democrats under
the leadership of Mr. Hailey. The reso
lution was defeated by a vote of TiJ
to 124. Fur the first time this session
the factions in the Democratic ranks
were forced to put themselves on
record, and 32 Democrats, with all of
the l'opulists, supported Mr. Lewis.
Mr. Iiuu', of New York, was the only
Republican to put himself on record
in support of the resolution, while S
Democrats and 5 ltcpublicans refused
to vote. A senate resolution appro
priating $r.O.0iMi f(r the confess of the
Universal Postal union was adopted.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
was heard from briefly and pointedly
in the senate yesterday after a silence
of many weeks, and as usual his re
marks served to arouse a lively con
troversy. It occurred during th- con
sideration of the free homestead bill.
Mr. Morgan resented some sharp re
marks of the South Carolina senator
about "gobbling" and stealing public
lands. The incident was closed by a
statement from Mr. Tillman disclaim
ing any purpose of being discourteous
to the Alabama senator. An agree
ment was reached for a final vote on
the free homestead bill at Z p. m. to
day. Karly in the day Mr. Morgan en
deavored to secure a vote on his Cu

ever, at the request of Mr. Hale. f

Florida ctiatorlnl Deadlock.
Tallahassee. Kla.. May 4. The Flor
ida legislature began yesterday its
third week of daily balloting for a
United States senator to succeed Wil
kinson Call. Apparently an elec tion is
not much m-nrir than when the voting
began. Call's strength is now ::,
against Z2 at the outset; Chipley s 32.
against 24. and Kaney's 22. against 14.
Call runs on each ballot from 6 to 8
votes ahead of Chipley, but lacks a
dozen votes of an election. Cbipley's
friends are confident that their man
will ultimately draw enough from
Raney ami the field to carry the day.
