'tfmmmm POOR MRS. OSBOKNE Hust Spend Nine Months in an En glish Prison at Hard Labor. AFFECTING SCENES IN THE (MET, a Toaehing Plea in Her Behalf Made ly the Woman She Wronged. LIVE NEWS FE01I TOE OTHEE EIDE London, March 9. Mrs. Florence Ethel Osborne began to-day a sentence of nine months imprisonment at hard labor for lar ceny and perjury. She pleaded guilty to day when arraigned at the Old Bailey. "When she was brought- into court Mrs. (Osborne paid no attention whatever to her surroundings. She kept her handkerchief to her eyes and wept bitterly. She was called upon to stand up, and the chartres of theft and perjury were read to her. When 4ll Jm .m ...... 1 3 J I. . nl.nHOfl .guilty to both charges. She was very weak, and her Toice was so low that it was im possible for her"to be heard on the bench, l and the warder was obliged to repeat Mrs. Osborne's words. , Mr. Gill, who appeared to prosecute the case lor the Treasury, arose amid profound silence and said he would recite the circum stances of the case. Justice Smith inter nosed, savin"- he had read all the denosi- tions and was fully alive to all the facts of the case. Mr. Fulton said he only wished to explain that perjury was the charge which induced the Treasury to prosecute, for if larceny alone was concerned the prosecution would have been lelt to private persons. Extenuating Circumstances Recounted. Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Mrs. Os borne, in a subdued and emotional voice, addressed the Court in mitigation of "the sentence. He suggested that there had been no motive for the theft, which must have occurred while Mrs. Osborne was laboring under temporary aberration of mind. The prisoner had nor realized all that must follow when, induced by the en thusiasm of her friends, she sought to vindi cate her reputation. Sir Charles reminded His Lordship that the false statements made by the prisoner in the libel suit were retracted at her in stance, and that the jnrv was not called upon to give a verdict on her evidence. Sir Charles then read the correspondence that had passed between Captain Osborne and the Treasury after the prisoner's grandfather had paid the authorities the 550 paid for the jewels, and all the other costs, amount ing to 1,200. Captain Osborne wrote to the Public Prosecutor in January that his wife was most anxious to surrender, but he had abso lutely forbidden her to endanger the life of herself and her unborn child by rendering herself liable to pass in prison the time be tween January and June. Postponement of Arrest Refused. Captain Osborne, in this letter, asked: "As all the costs have been paid, is it not possible uuder the circumstances that her surrender be postponed?" He added: "The Treasury need not fear any depar ture from this promise. If my wife lives she shall surrender. Is it asking too much for a delav which would not be inconsistent with the dictates of humanity?" The Treasury refused to "enter into an agreement, and on January 29, Captain Os borne wrote: "My wife is convinced that she ought to surrender anyway." After reciting how the arrest was finally made, as Captain Osborne had arranged, Sir Charles Kussell said be did not make the appeal for mercy because the prisoner was a jaay, yet tne anguisn ana tne cumul ation she'must in the future feel at the loss of her friends respect and the grievous wrong she had been guilty of, would be more punishment than any" sentence, the Court could impose. Mrs. Hxrcrcwes Flea for Her Friend. At this point Mrs. Harereaves rose from her seat at the solicitor's table, and, with great emotion, said: "Mv Lord, I and my husband are the chief sufferers. " The Judge interposed, saying, "I don't think I can listen to you." Mrs. Har greaves, however, tas not daunted. She persisted, saying: "I am going to plead for mercy for the accused. J! am perfectly convinced that Mrs. Osborne was not in her right mind when she took the jewels. I beg of vou to deal as leniently as possible with her. I have known and loved the prisoner all her life." During Mrs. Hargreaves remarks Mrs. Osborne wept bitterlv, her sobs being audi ble in every part of the court room. " It uras thought she would faint, and a second female warder stepped quietly to her side to help support her should she fall. Every body in the room was much affected, many of the women crying. The Court bevere rnt Considerate. The painful scene.was added to when the Clerk of the Court, turning to the prisoner, asked, "Florence Ethel Osborne, have you anything to say why the Court should not pass judgment upon you?" Mrs. Osborne, sobbing violently, replied in a whisper, "Nothing." The sentence was then pronounced. The Judge recited ill the facts in the case and made no attempt iO gloss over any incident. He said: You stole tnese goods from your friends when visiting them. You converted the lewels Into money w htch you appropriated for your use. When you were suspected of die theft you commenced an actum tor libel md sat b the side of your counsel for days, suggesting to them tliat your friends wore culprits. H.id you succeeded by your wilful oeijury the Harpreaves would have lett the :ouit with an indelible suin upon them. The maximum punishment for your crime s seven years this remark caused a sense .ion In the courtroom, but I am not going o pass such a sentence on you. I am taking ill the circumstances of your cae into con nderatSon, notably the appeal just made for jou by Mrs. Hargi eaves. Mrs. Osborne was seated in the dock vhile the Judge was sentencing her, and on he conclusion of his remarks she wonld lave fallen from her seat but for the warders, vbo raised her gently, each of them taking icr by an arm and led her away to her celC Captain Osborno Is Crashed. Captain Osborne had a short interview nth his wife after sentence had been im losed upon her. He then left the court oom and retired to his house, greatly fleeted at his wife's position. The house n which the captain lives presents an ap earance of mourning. All the blinds are losed. Captain Osborne denied himself to 11 callers. His friends express much sympathy for im in his deep affliction, and highly praise he warm and unwavering devotion he bowed for his unfortunate wife during the rying ordeal through which both of them ave passed.

HTESCH'S WORK AT C0N8IAHTIH0PLK. His Protest Against Closing of Schools to Be Backed by Other Powers. London, March 9. The Daily Hem to day prints an article praising the energetio action of Mr. Hirsch, the American Minis ter to Turkey, in protesting to the Portf against the decree ordering all schools to procure a license from the Government or else close. The Fan says that the English and American Bible Missionary Societies in Constantinople announce that of late years the friendly attitpde of the Goverp ment has quite changed. Vexatious re; strictions are now placed on them, and ob stacles are placed in their way in defiance ' of even the Turkish law. One thousand Bibles and other books, the circulation of which was officially authorized by the Porte, have been confiscated by local offi cials. The Xtws concludes by saying that for the last two years Mr. Hirsch's time has been occupied with attempts to obtain the re-opening of the schools and churches that have been arbitrarily closed. But these laws affect others beside Americans, and it is probable that joint representations against the action of the Porte will shortly be made by the English, American and German Ministers at Constantinople.

Sarah Althea Terry Takes a Bath and Eefnses to Get Out Again TILL ALLOWED BY THE SPIRITS. She Is Arraigned in Court for a Hearing M to Her Insanity. SOME OF HEB MOST PECULIAR FREAKS Ft FECIAL TSLBORA1J TO THE DIS?ATCH.1 SAK Francisco, March 9. Mammy Pleasant, the old colored woman who is the only true friend left to unfortunate Sarah Althea Terry, to-day swore out a warrant for the arrest of toe famous plaintiff in the Sharon divorce case on a charge of insanity. Mrs. Terry's latest escapade occurred in the Hamman baths yesterday. She took a bath there,- and after receiving massage treatment refused to move until "tbe spirits" should consent She failed to get their consent.for about three hours, and dur ing all that time remained on a marble slab. About 5 o'clock she got up, dressed herself and left the place. Sarah was arrested shortly beforo noon to-day, and brought before Judge Levy. She was accompanied by Mrs. Pleasant, and looked weary. "When, with disheveled hair and glaring eyes, she entered the courtroom, she exclaimed: "What does all this mean? Po they really think the widow of Judge Terry is an insane woman? 'Well, well I Let them examine me. I want Judge Coffey to conduct the ex amination." Bambling Talk or the Lunatic Mrs. Pleasant spoke kindly to her, but she continued to talk in a rambling manner, "lam broke," she said, "I pawned a ring last night to get my dinner, and I slept in the park all night, for I did not have a bed upon which to rest my head. Look at mv shoe." Hee she reached down, pulled off one of her shoes, and held it up to the gaze of everybody in the court room. "That is my little shoe," she exclaimed, and then laughed hysterically. "It's full of eleo tricitv, but I'm going to put it on my foot There's magnetism in that foot Mammy Pleasant is not my friend, now. She thinks I'm insane. Ha! hal They don't know me." At this juncture Judge Levy made his appearance. When he took his seat on the bench the unfortunate woman, long ac customed to seeing judges and listening to court proceedings, surrounded by a host of attorneys, recognized him instantly, ana smiles wreathed her countenance. Mrs. Terry gave the names of a score of witnesses whom she wanted summoned, to prove her sanity. The Judge agreed to subpoena them, and then set the hearing for to-morrow morning. Careful About Her Custody. "I suppose that in the meantime you will want to put me in somebody's custody," said Mrs. Terry. "I don't want to go into Mammy Pleasant's custody," she continued, and at the same time she looked sneeringly at the old colored woman. "She sent a big black man into my room the other night and I don't think that was proper, so I want to be put in charge of Dr. Living ston." Mrs. Terry then arose and picked up a valise and a large quantity of old wire, which she said was charged with electricity, and went away with a deputy sheriff to the Home for Inebriates, where she will be de tained until to-morrow morning. As Sarah walked out of the room she was followed by a large orowd, upon whom she smiled pleasantly. Her appearance was "shabby genteel."" She wore a long seal skin coat, torn in several places, and which looked as if it had been made for a woman much larger than Mrs. Terry. Her hat had no doubt once been a choice bit of millinery, It was of the turban style, but the .trimmings were all away; and her unkempt hair seemed to be tangled in the feathers of the hat Her dress was in tatters and her face had been rouged until she looked as if she had been made up for a part in burlesque opera. When she entered the hack Mammy Pleas ant accompanied her. As she stepped in she said: "Here come the electricalst Pull down the curtains!" HYSTEBIA LDCE BABIES. The Case or a Boy Who Was Bitten by an Organ Grinder's Monkey. Philadelphia, March 9. The directors at the German Hospital are interested in a patient recently admitted. He is Herbert Thomas, IS years old, and his case is .diag nosed as hysteria. He had been frequently treated at the hospital before,but seemingly without success, as the virus lurking in his blood breaks out anew when success seems most secured. When quite a boy he was bitten by a monkey belonging to an Italian organ grinder. Since that time the Bymptoms of hysteria have developed, and with time waxed violent "Last night," said one of the doctors, "we were seated together in the reception room when we were startled by what at first we took to be the barking of a dog as if mad. What seemed most strange was that the noise came from the upper floors. Suddenly the barking was succeeded by wild screams, alternating with yelps. Going up stairs we found four men holding Thomas down on the bed. He seemed to be suffering from convulsions. He bit savagely at them, and all the time kept up his barking. The extreme symp toms in some degree resembled hydropho bia, yet it is not hydrophobia. It is really hysteria, although of a very violent tvpe."' A SELF-CONFESSED EMBEZZLES.

An Old Woman's Cure for Diphtheria Proves Effectual The Patient Sutlers No More, but It Is Because Death Believed the Little One. Buffalo, N. X., March?, Spend. A shocking story of Inhuman treatment of a sick child was brought to Coroner Tucker to-day from Springbrook, a little town just east of this city. J. J. Grace, ot that place, accuses M. L. Cavan and his family of a frightful deed. Tbe latter lives on a farm adjoining the former's. Tbe Cavans came from Canada a short time ago with one child, a boy about 3 yean of age. About a week ago the "child was taken sick, and, instead of calling a regular physician, a woman named Bronson, of East Aurora, who advertised herself as a doctor, was summoned. She attended for two or three days, when she announced to the fam ily that the baby had diphtheria and that it could not get well. According to the storv of the neighbors, Mrs. Bronson ordered that the child be placed in a cold room, saving the baby could not get well, and it could die easier where it was cold. This was three days ago, and the Cavans, having faith in Mrs. Bron son's knowledge, plaoed the child in the front room, where there was no fire and where the wind came in through the crev ices as through an open door. The disease was contagious and the pa tient was therefore left to itself. No effort was made to save it The person calling herself a phvsician had said that there was no cure, and her word was taken as final. The neighbors in the vicinity feared for their own children and did not call to assist the Cavans. About 11 o'elock yesterday forenoon Mrs. Cavan reported that her child was dead. At this hour the windows of the room where the patient lay were opened. Later in tbe afternoon Mrs. Jacob Boda mer, a neighbor, called and was horrified to find that the little baby was not dead. She remonstrated and endeavored to close the windows, but the family was obstinate, and at 4 F. m. little Joseph breathed his last Coroner Tucker will hold an autopsy. A MURDERER CORNERED. 91111s, the Assassin Who Escaped From the Butler Jail, Thought to Be Surrounded Near Foxburg Seen by Many Persons Presents a Check. St. Petebsbubo, Pa., March 9. Special All day over a lively chase has been made for Mills, the escaped murderer, who is known to be within a mile ot this city in hiding. Abut dusk Mills was seen crossing tbe bridge at Foxburg,and later tried to enter a Pittsburg and Western car but was frightened away by the train men, whb tried to run hinr down but failed. Mills headed up the narrow gauge track to this city, where he was seen by several who knew him, but who feared to capture the desperado. Sheriff Brown was-in Foxburg all dav, and was wired at once. He started for this place with several deputies, who have been scouring the neighborhood all evening. It is now known that Mills has some very 'close friends in Foxburg who sent him away with letters to other friends in this vicinity. Late this afternoon, just before the Tur key City bank closed, a stranger, evidently disguised, entered and presented a check for 5500. It was to order of J. C Miller, and was signed by a prominent farmer of this district Bank officers had been told to be on the look out for Mills, and they penetrated his disguise at once. The cashier engaged him in conversation, while word was wired here for officers. Mills, however, became suspicious of the delay, and though it is hardly halt an hour's ride on horseback from here to Turkey City he had gone. The farmer whose name appeared on the check, said his name was a forgery. He is being closely watched, however, as it is now known Mills has pow erful friends in this neighborhood -who will never give him over to officers if they can help it. The man is cornered and can hardly hope to escape. INDICTED FOB KILLING A LIVE HAN, A Stronjr Case of Circumstantial Evidence to Be Easily Broken Down. Monmouth III., March 9.

BERING SEA LETTERS Bent to the Senate by the President, and Discussed Testerday. v THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT. President Harrison'g Ultimatum in Regard to a Modus Vivendi SENT OYER THE NAME OP ME, WHARTON Washington, March 9. The corre spondence in regard to the Bering Sea ques tion, sent to the Senate by the President to day, coven the period from April 20, 1891, to the date of recent correspondence. The most important letters' are two from Sir Julian Pauncefote under dates of February 29 and March 7, and the reply sent yester day. In his note of February 29 Sir Julian informs Mr. Blaine that Lord Salisbury does not admit, as previously in dicated by Mr. Blaine,' that" the delays have been greater on the part of Great Britain than the United States. He says British commissioners have reported there is no danger of a serious diminution of the seals, and therefore the necessity of a modus vivendi is not apparent Still, he would ndt object to the prohibition limited to a zone not more tban SO miles around the Pribyloff Islands, provided the catch on the islands be limited to 30,000. Salisbury's Objections Bet Forth. In his note of March 7,Sir Julian presents arguments in support. of Lord Salisbury's refusal to accede to another modus vivendi He says the first was agreed to under stlpu. lation that the measure could not be re pealed,and that there is no apparent danger to the seal species. He adds that the zone proposed is more extensive than that men tioned by Mr. Blaine on March 16, 1891,and that the anticipation of conflicts,considered in the note of May 4, 1891, has been met by theproviaions ot the Bering Sea act of Par liament and order in council. In the response sent yesterday Assistant Secretary Wharton states that the President notices, with the deepest regret, the indis position of Her Majesty's Government to agree upon an effective modus for the pre servation of the seals in the Bering Sea pending the settlement of the respective rights of the two Governments in those waters and in the fur seal fisheries therein. He calls attention to the fact that the treaty of arbitration awaits only the action of the American Senate, and that the judg ment of the arbitration tribunal' can be stated in time to control the conduct of the sealers during the present season. The Requirements of Good Faith. The urgent question, he says, is what does good faith, to say nothing of inter national comity, require of the parties to arbitrations? Was it ever heard before, he asks, that one party to such a controversy whether a nation or an individual could appropriate the whole or any part of the income and profits, much less tbe body of the contested property, pending the litigation, without accountability? It is no answer for the tresspasser, it is con tended, to say that the true owner will have an undiminished harvest near. Last year's harvest was his also, and, further, this Gov ernment has already been advised that Great Britain repudiates all obligations to indemnify the United States for any inva sion of its jurisdiction or any injury done to its sealing property by the Canadian sealers. In conclusion, it is stated that this Government will honor tbe judg ment of the arbitration tribunal which has been agreed upon, whether that judg ment be favorable-or unfavorable,' and will not seek to void a just responsibility for any of its acts which by that judgment are found to be unlawful; -but' certainly the United States cannot be expected .to sus pend the defense, by such means as are within its power, of the property and jurisdictional rights claimed by it, pending the arbitration, and to consent to reoeive them from that tribunal if 'awarded shorn of much of their value by the acts of irre sponsible persons. SPEEDY ACTIOH TO BE TAKEN By Canada, In Relation to the Defense of British Columbia. Ottawa, Out., March 9. Special. With reference to the complaint of theBriU ish Government that Canada has been de linquent in carrying out her promise to con-' tribute toward the defense of British Col umbia, Minister of Militia Bowell states that the matter will at once be taken into consideration by tbe Government here with a view to the early fortification of the naval dockyard at Eiguimalt. Sir Adolph Caron, tbe late Minister of Militia, has on more than one occasion been taken to task for the slip-shod manner in whioh he controlled the affairs of his de partment, which has resulted in repeated re buffs from the British Government Parlia ment, it js understood, will be asked to. vote a considerable sum of money for defensive purposes, to increase the efficiency of the militia and to place the fortifications on a substantial footing. ECONOMY NEAELY F0KG0TTEN. The Blver and Harbo Bill to Cover at Least 820,000,000. Washington, March 9. Special Con gressman Blanchard's semi-official an nouncement that the river and harbor bill when completed by his committee will ag gregate about 520,000,000 has greatly dis couraged the Democratic economists in the House who ardently desire that the Fifty second Congress shall make a creditable record for economy and frugality. They re gard such an enormous river and harbor bill as absolutely indefensible, and in down right contravention of the party's pledges. If the bill shonld be reported to the House at 20,000,000, as proposed, there is but little doubt of its speedy passage, since, under the peculiar circumstances that sur round the advocates of the measure, the House is apt to break away entirely from tbe restraint of the Democratic managers and rush the bill through. In that event it is almost certain that the various other com mittees now preparing other appropriation bills will abate their efforts at retrench ment, in view of the folly and futility of lopping off a few thousands, or even hun dred thousands, from their bills while such a great aggregate as ?2Q,0Q0.000 for rivers and harbors is permitted to slide. An Allegheny Fire. Allegheny had a (7,000 blaze this morning about 1 o'clock. An alarm was sent in from box 216, on Kunnery Hill.

It was just ajnew house, scarcely completed. Blue Bells of Scotland; a beautiful new frieze. Come and see it John S. Roberts, 719 and 721 Liberty st (Head of Wood.)

The Tourist Through Europe Untaxed. Mr. Chairman, there fa another provision, of the present law that should be amended the one allowing' those who are opulent enough and have the leisure to go abroad to bring in free of duty quantities of clothes aa wearing apparel. To illustrate, a rich man going abroad can bring baolc thousands of dollars worth of wearing apparel free from taxation, but If one of his humble laborers were to seek to get $100 worth of woolens brought back by him for the use of his fam ily ha would have to pay, accordins to the average rate on woolen Roods, more tban 90 duty, and on some grades he would be oomr pelled to pay on knit goods more than $300 duty. There should be some limit plaoed upon the amount even of wearing apnarel that can be imported free of duty. The law now enables those who buy exten sively to. pay the expenses of a trip abroad in the mere matter of saying duty. I know one 'man who voted for the MoKinley bill and who helped to saddle that measure upon the people who. In less than 100 day? after its passage, landed in England and bought $1,000 worth of olothes the first thing. 00 was a protectionist Mr. .Chairman, tbe question of excessive in crease in tbe rates of taxation has been passed upon by the people and condemned in a manner not to be- mistaken. Thorough discussion preceded its adoption. News papers and periodicals did their work in in forming the people or tbe changes. Then came the advance In price, speaking in un mistakable tones of the hardship that comes from increased taxation. The Verdict of aa Election. Then the election came, and 'sever was such a defeat administered to a recreant party as was visited upon those who had passed this measure. ?rom Maine to Cali fornia, from tbe Lake to the Gulf, people rose almost as one man. They condemned it in bulk and in detail. They relegated to private life the leaders who had conceived it and the followers who bad executed it. An arrogant maj ofity was converted into an in significant minority. New England sent a majority of Democrats here; the whole North sent a majority: the South sent a majority. So overwhelming was the defeat tbat if vou divide the country into two sections, North and South, and remove every Demo crat from the South, the Democrats from the North would still be in tbe majority. If you remove every Democrat from the North those from the South would have a majority over their opponents. Those who held the clothes while other threw the stones fared as ill as those who did the stoning. Bank and file were smitten hin and thigh, until to-day theie are but a handful of those who favored the bill left on this floor. On the other hand, among the Democrats who opposed It only one in the United States who was re nominated was dereatedby the ueople. The handwriting is on the wall, and is not to De mistaken. The people have resolved and they will make that resolution good that thev will have a reduction in the rate of taxation or a still further reduction of those in Congress who favor high taxation. This battle is on, and to the finish. On the one side is arrayed the Democratic party, in favor of Just taxation; on the other Its oppo nents, clamoring tfor excessive and unjust taxation. We would not avoid this conflict if we could; we could not if we fould. Let the battle rage, and the fiercer the better, until soma recognition is given to the princi ple that taxes should be levied and collected tor the support of government rather tban for the opptesslon of the many at the behe3t and for the benefit of the few. Interruptions of the Speaker. In the course of his speech Mr. MoMillin was interrupted by Mr. Haines, of New York, with tbe suggestion that the State elections in New York had not been of a character to encourage the Democratic party. Mr. McMillin retorted tbat the ex Speaker had on Monday last referred to tbe triumphant march of truth. That march was emphasized by the fact that the gen tleman from Maine (Mr. Reed) no longer occupied the Chair, but was relegated to the floor, where he could do nothing bat curse and cry. Laughter. The city of the gen tleman from Maine had gone Democratio the other day. Applause. Mr. Reed, who was in the cloak room when his name was mentioned,here strolled down one of the aisles, and as he did so made the apology that he had not been present because he knew that the gentleman from Tennessee was speaking. Laughter. Mr. .McMillin replied that he cared not what the gentleman's reason for being ab sent wa". At the conclusion of Mr. Mc Millin's speech he was the recipient of a magnificent cluster of red roses, and his Democratic colleagues honored him with generous applause. Dingley Sneaks for the minority. Mr. Dineley, of Maine, opened the de bate on behalf of the Republican side in opposition to the Democratic tariff bills, as follows: If the gentleman from Tennessee repre sents in his speech and his recent iVorfA American article the views and purposes of the Democratio party as to tariff legislation and I have no doubt ho does then the three sporadic bills reported by tbe Demo cratic majority of tbe WaysandMeans Com mittee, and now before tbe committee as the taiifl reform scheme of a Democratic House containing 110 Democratic majority, afford the most striking exhibition of letting "I date not" before a Presidental election wait on "I would" after the election that has ever been my fortune to observe in the po litical history or this country. The gentleman fiom Tennessee condemns the McKlnley tariff, enacted by the Eepub lican paity and presenting a complete plan of protection, and condemns all protective duties as class legislation, as "robbery," a "wall of fire" to destroy foreign trade, and a measure which Is bringing ruin upon the country. And he announces just as he and his Democratio assooiates did before the election of 1890, at the time the new tariff was framed that the mission of tbe Demo cratic party was to sweep every line and word or the "unholy tariff" from the statute book and substitute a measure of "Miiff lefoim," from which shall be elimi nated all "class legislation," all "robbery," all piotcctlon. Fledges Too Long Unredeemed. The voters who were -deceived and pur suadedto accept Democratio promises in Xew England tbat the Democratio scheme of tariff reform looked to the relief of manu facturers suffering for want of free coal. Iron ore and free pig iron, with a sly intimation that the manufactured articles would Do undisturbed, are anxiously awaiting the re demption of these' pledges by this Demo cratic Bouse. The voters in west Virginia, Virginia and other ooal and iron-nrodnolng States, who were told that the Democratio lan or tariff reform would leave coal and 'on ore and pig iron undisturbed and would severely out the duties on Eastern manu factured products, are beginning to ask for the l edemptlon pf pledges made to them, and those Western and Southern farmers whose votes were captured by the assurance that the Democratic plan of tariff reform contemplated a general otsi turn of the Mo Kinley tariff and protection are becoming tineasy at the non-fulfillment of the pledges made to them. In this situation, with the Benubllcan Solicy fully and clearly set forth In the ex iting law, with the representative of the great Democratio majority In this House re peating his old denunciations of the enormi ties of the McKlnley tariff, what do the Dem ocratic majority of tbe Ways and Means Committee propose as the Democratic plan of tariff reform? First, to place binding twine on the free list; second, to place'ou the free list bagging for"cotton and hoop iron when manufactured. into cotton ties, and all machinery for the manufacture of cotton bagging; third, to place on the free list tbe farmers wool, auo. aooiisn bo xnucu oi zao duty on cloth which is for the benefit of tbe farmer, and to leave an average ad valorem duty of 39 per cent to protect the manu facturer. An Eloquent Tariff Defense. v Mr. Dingley defended the McKioley act eloquently and at length, and argued tbat the three bills proposed by the Democratic majority of the Ways and Means Commit tee would result in nothing-"but injury to the farmer. The free wool bill, he said, proposed free trade for1 the most universal product of the farm, and continued protec tion for the manufacturer of wool. It would certainly reduce the. price and destroy the wool industry. Continuing, Mr. Dingley said: Every evil prediction relating to the Mc Klnley tariff has been disproved by the march of events. Every prediction of its benefits has been made good. Protection is more tban Justified. Tuo policy which has done so much to make this country tbe largeet agricultural, tbe largest manufactur ing, tho largest mining, ana the mot pros perous country on the face of the earth, la here to stay. Great applause . Before the conclusion -of Mr. Dlngley'e speech the committee rose and the House adjourned. The debate will be resumed to morrow and continue fpr five or six weeks, with occasional interruptions of two or three days for the silver bill and appropria tion bills. .
