He Derlarfs Tliat I lie Senate is Trying to Destroy Democracy. WASHINGTON, July 19.—President Cleveland sent a message to the House to-day, for such it must be called despite its transparent dis guise as a personal letter to the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, nnd it has excited Hu nt most astonishment and the most profound indignation. This lattei iceling is by no means confined to Kepublicans, but so permeates the ranks of the Democracy in the House and to even a greater degree in the Senate that in the first shock of emotion and revolt to-day against this executive interference the pre diction is heard upon every side that the Tariff bill will ultimately be killed. Chairman Wilson presented the letter to the House with the state ment lhat although it was marked "personal' he had secured the per mission of Mr. Cleveland to make it public. THE LETTER. The message read thus: "EXECUTIVE MUNSIOK, WASHINGTON, July 2, 1594. [Personal.] Hon. William 1.. Wilson—MY DEAU SIR: The certainty thi.t a conference will be ordered between the two houses of Congress for the pur pose of adjusting differences ou the sub ject of tariff legUlmi in m ikes it al-oc r tain that you will be again called onto do hard service in the causo of tariff reform. "My public life ha* been so closely re lated io the subject, 1 have so lunged for its accomplishment and 1 have so often premised its realization to my fellow countrymen as a result of their trust and confidence in the Democratic party that 1 hojie no excuse is necessary for my earnest appeal to you that in this crisis you strenu ously insist upon party liouesty and good fai hand a sturdy adherence to Demo cratic principles. I believe these are abso lutely necessary conditions to the con tinuation of Democratic existence. ' I cannot rid myself of the feeling that this conference will present the best if not the only hope of true Democracy. Indi c»tions point to its action as the teliance of tho;e who de-ire the genuine fruition of Democratic effort, the fulfillment of Demo crat.c pledges and the redemption of Deinoctatie promises to the people. To reconcile differences in the details com prised within the fixed and well defined lines of principle will not be the sole task of the conference ; but. as it seems to me. its members will also have in charge the question whether Demoera'ic principles themselves arc to be paved or abandoned. WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK. •'There is no excu-c for mistaking or misapprehending the feeling and the temper of the rank and file of the Demo craey. They are dowr.east under the as sertion that their party fails in ability to manage the government, and they aie ap prehensive that efforts to bring about tariff reform may fail, but they are much more downcast and apprehensive in their fear that Democratic principle may be surrendered. "In these circumstances they cannot do otherwise than to look with confidence to you aud those who, with you have patrio tically and sincerely championed the cause of tariff reform within Democratic lines, aud guided by Dsmocratic principles. This action is vastly augmented by the action, under your "leadership, the house of representatives upon the bill now pend ing "Every true Democrat antl every sin cere tariff reformer knows that tli s bill, in its present form and as it will be sub mitted to the conference, falls far short of the consummation for which we have long labored, for which we have suffeied di - feat without discouragement, which in its anticipation gave us a rallying cry in our •lay of triumph, and wh eh in its promise of accomplishment is so interwoven with Democratic pledges anil Democratic suc cess that our abandonment of the cause of the principles upon which it rests means party perfidy and party d shonor. •'One topic will be submitted to the con ferenee which emliodics Democratic piin ciple so directly that it cannot IR- com promised.

"1 hope that you will not consider it in trusive if I say something in relation to another sutject which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the coufereuce. I refer to thr adjustment i.f tariff taxation ou sugar. TNK 810 TKKSTS. ''Under our party plaifonn and in ac cordance with our declared party pur poses sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation. Unfortunate ly, however, incidents have accompanied certain stages of the legislation, which will be submitted to the conference, that have aroused in connection with this subject a natural Democratic animosity to the methods and manipulations of trusts and combinations. I confess to sharing in this feeling, and yet it seems to me, we ought, if possible, to sufficiently free our selves from prejudioe to enable us coolly to weisfh the considerations which, in formulating tariff legislation, ought to guide our treatment of BUgar as a taxable article. "While no tenderness should be enter tained for trusts, and while lam decided ly opposed to granting them, under the guise of tariff taxation, any opportunity to further their particular methods, I sug gest that we ought not to be driven away from the Democratic principle and policy which led to the taxation of sugar by the fear, quite likely exargcrated, that in car rying out this principle and policy we may indiiectly and inordinately encourage a combination of sugar refining interests. I know that m present conditions this is a delicate rutjoct, and I appreciate the depth and strength ot the feeling which its treatment has aroused "I do aot beli. re we should <'o evil that good may come, but it seeuid to mo that wo ehould Dot forget th >t o>ir «iui in the completion of a tarilTbill, and lhat ia taxing sugar for proper purposes and within r-u-onable b junds, what ever else may be said ot our action, we am in no danger ot running counter to I'emooratic princip'e. With alt there is at stake, there must be in the tieataient of this article some ground upon wiiieli we are all willing to stand wh •re toleration and concil &ti »n may be al lowed to solve (he problem without demanding the entire surrender of fixed and OJneiieijti >u« Convictions.

WAST JIIM IMPEACHED. Some Senators do not liesitate to say that the President ought to be impeached. Not for many years has the Capitol seen so exciting a day ns this. History made itself with startling rapidity and its devel opements were full of surprises. The scene in the House from the moment that body convened at noon until the conferrees had been reap pointed was most dramatic. The excitement under which the members were laboring, the great surprise caused by Mr. Wilson's sudden revelation of Mr. Cleveland's letter, which he has been carrying in his inside pocket for seventeen days, the sensation caused by its phrases, the unexpected Democratic enthusiasm with which Mr. Wilson's appeal to stand by free sugar was received, anil the serious energy with which Mr. Reed denounced this violation of the Constitution, and the President's attitude In favor of the Sugar Trust and of Mr. Whitney's Nova Scotia coal syndi cate all contributed to make ever}* Ir.uight with significance. DENOUNCED BY AI.L. To-night Mr. Cleveland's letter is being denounced on every hand bv Democrats, few of whom, however, venture to give open expression of their feelings for publication. Their private conversations are sulphurous. The question which every one is asking is, What will be the effect of Mr.Cleveland's piouuuciamentoupon the fortunes of the bill? Au Eiitlr I'srrj lni 01l ii Unib. A big crowd of villagers recently viewed the movements ol an enor mous bird that hovered over a field in the vicinity of Landisville, Lan caster couut.y, Pa. A Hock of sheep were gtazing in the field. From a height of several hundred feet the bird would swiftly descend to near the earth, and after circling in long sweeps again mount on high John M usselman, one of the crowd, weut for his gun. Then he watched for a chance to shoot. Suddenly the big bird daited downward, seized a good sized lamb ir. its talons and began tolly oil' with it, the lamb meanwhile utteiing plaintive bleats. Mussel tan n fired when the feath ered robber was two bundled feet away. The bird fell dead. It was an enormous bald eagle, measuring 7 feet 'J inches from tip to tip. The Istub in its clutches was also dead when found.
