TARIFF'S HARD ROAD Hill Brings the Subject Up in the Senate. WASHINGTON, March 7.—A preliminary I but highly instructive discussion on the subject of the tariff bill, U( ' l '° 'D 9 iu reporting it, was precipi'atvd in the senate by a question ot privilege, that first, in order of time came a resolution offered by Mr. Hill (dein., N. \.) with a preamble asserting that by treasury statement there was a deficit of $78,000,- 000 for the current fiscal year, and that in addition to such deficit the Wilson tariff bill discarded $70,000,000 of revenue, and instructing the finance committee to frame amendments to the bill that would omit the internal and direct taxes and provide a sufficient revenue by placing a tariff on other foreign imports and other wise revising the tariff without creating a deficiency. The resolution was, at Mr. Mills' request, laid on the table for tho present, to bo called up by him probably very soon. Senator Berry, of Arkansas, complained of uu article in a New York newspaper, which mentioned him and j other democratic senators as interposing j delays to the reporting of the tariff bill. This be denied very indignantly, and said j that he had urged the finance committee to report the Wilson bill promptly and to j "defy the men who had been delaying it, J In order to protect local interests." Equally indignant denials of the article ! were made by Senators McLaurin, of j Mississippi (his maiden speech in tho senate) and Mr. Call, of Florida. Mr. Faulkner was not so positive iu his j denials, but declared, nevertheless, that if the bill WHS reported as a party meas ure it would receive his earnest and cor dial support, fceuator Morgan, of Ala bama, remarked that Mr. Faulkner was j not guilty as charged, and that neither j was he guilty. A republican member ' of the finance committee, Senator Alli son, of lowa, protested against that com niitte being "gibbetted on the cross roads of public opinion" for its delay, and de clared his intention to have the bill con sidered in committee iu every paragraph and every item, adding that it was not to j be railroaded either through the commit tee or through the senate. The seignior age bill, which was nominally before the senate (luring the whole of this discus sion, went over till to-day, when it will again be presented for its second rcudiug. RECOVERED HKItNUKSIXG BAIIE The Father Forced By the Courts to Temporarily Surrender It. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 7.—There Was a pathetic scene in the common plena court before Judge Hotchkiss yesterday. I JohuE. lluckley, an Ausoula letter car rier, was compelled to bring in hjs 11- months-old baby on a writ of habeas cor pus to show why the child, which is still nursing, should not be given to its mother Mrs. Buckley, who is u hand some refined young woman, was in court also. She had beeu compelled to leave her husband because of his alleged brutal treatment, lie took the baby and re fused to allow the mother to see it until compelled to by the court. Buckley is said to be of intemperate habits. As soon as the child saw its mother it stretched ' out its arms and begun wailing. This brought tears to the eyes of several of the court attaches and Judge llotchkiss im mediately ordered Buckley to deliver the baby to its mother pending the hearing. The judge continued the hearing until Monday, the mother being given the cus tody of the child till that time. CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION.

I Criminal Scheme ot Strikers in West Virginia. CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 7.—The I conspiracy just unearthed in the j mining region was more dastardly thau at first supposed The strikers took to Acme twenty-seven large dynamite cartridges to blow up the store the other night. At their meetings on Saturday and Sunday the arrangement was made to arrest Wyant, bring him to Montgotn ery and turn him over to a mob of strikers. Then it was that the cartridges already distributed among the strikers were to be thrown among the troops who cams with the sheriff's posse. Gov. MacCorkle has one of the bombs iu his possession. The plan was next to kiil Wyant and then go down the river to all the works, burning, killing and destroy ing. The plan was frustrated by Wyant being taken to Fayettville, thus saving Wyant's fife and the lives of the soldiers. It is understood that the entire plot disclosed by a striker who could not bear the weight of it on his mind. It is known how Adkins was killed, who fired the shot, and every thing. A man whose name is not known now and of whom no mention has yet been made in the press, lies buried on the ridge above the tipple, shot to death by tho sheriff's posse in tho tipple. A tremendous excitement is raging among the strikers to know who "peached" on them and an attempt will j be made to catch him. If found his life 1 won't bo worth a penny.

The tragedy I was the culmination of a political feud of I long standing which was brought to a climax by a bitter newspaper controversy. I Hatliil'e published an editorial in his | paper, the Vindicator, reflecting on Jack son's vote in the recent contest in the leg i hit ure over the election of a successor to I United States Senator Walthall. Jack son replied in a card in another paper in ■ which he denounced KntliJTiuis a liar. Fatal Mining Accident. I SCRANTON, Pa., March 7.—Four men out of a gang of mine shaft sinkers were killed in the Richmond shaft, in the uorthi rn part of the city, at 5 o'clock a. in.

Mr. Baker then sprang from the bed and shot both negroes dead. Mr. Baker was reported to have had a large sum of money In the house. FOREIGN. Rosebery Siircocd.s Ola(ltoiif.J March s—The United Press correspondent learned from an oflicial source that the queen had accepted Mr. Gladstone's resignation and had offered the premiership to Lord It sebery, who had consented to take tho office. LORD ROSEBERY. This is tho fourth time that Mr. Glad stone has lnid down the premiership. The first time ho hold th? office of premier was in 180S, when he succeeded Benjamin Disraeli on cember 9. ilis gov- rnmetit lasted five years and seventy-four days. He again succeeded Disr.i -li on April 28, 1880, ami this term of office lasted five years and fifty-seven days. H s successor was Lord Salisbury, whom Mr. Gladstone followed on February fj, lssfi This thirl term of oflice was only 178 days. Mr. Gladstone then remained in opposition for six years. Ho won in the general election of 1 89:2, taking office on August IH. Mr % Glad stone's first prominent appearance in a cabinet was in 1852 as chancellor of the exchequer under the earl of Ab'r liua. He held the same position in tho Palmar*- i ton administration of ISV>1 S V> and 1859, th liussell administration of 1805, and in his own administrations of 18<iS and 1880. When a ministry resigns it is the fuuc- j tion of the sovereign to call upon some j person to form another administration. I There is no restriction upon the royal choice, hut tiie statesman usually se- I lected is the leader of the opposing party j in one of the two houses. In this case, as ; it is the premier and not the ministry J which resigns, the choice falls, of course, 1 upon one of the same party. If the indi vidual chosen undertakes the task of forming a ministry he commences by i nominating his cabinet, taking himself the principal position, which is variously 1 designated as head of the government or first minister, < r prime minister or premier. The odices which invariably : give the holder cabinet rank are those of iirst lord of the treasury, lord chancellor, lord president of the council, the secre taries of s* ate for the homo department, I foreign affairs, the colonies, for war and for India, chancellor of the exchequer and first lord of the admirably. The prime minister may be first lord of the 1 treasury and chancellor of the exchequer ! | or first lord of the treasury and lord privy j j seal. ilcftises tlio Iml in Secretary sh in hits orals and Unionists May Kemiite. j LONDON, March 7.—The United Press I correspondent has obtained olliclnl eon i Urination of the report that John Morley I had refused the India secretaryship be cause lie did not wish any office which j was isolated from the cause of Ir.-laud. Sir Algernon Wist, Mr. Gladstone's inLi . I mate friend ami companion at Hiarrbz. has been appointed to the privy council, j John Cowan, chairman of Mr. Gladstone's | election committee in the Midlothian dis f trict, has received a baronetcy. G \\*. Spencer Lyttleton and G. 11. Murray, pr - | vate secretaries to Mr. Gladstone us iirst lord of the treasury, have beerr made com , panions of the Order of the Path. The St. Junto's Gazette is authority for the statement that a reunion of the liber als ami the liberal uuinnists is probable, Lord Itosebery having already entered into corarnunicat.on with the unionist leaders, Joseph Chamberlin and the Duke of Devonshire, ou the subject. The Gorman and Russian Treaty. BERLIN, March s.—There is a general feeling of relief at the conclusion of the debate 011 the llrst ren ling of the Ger man-Russian commercial treaty in tho reichstug. When the discussion was not wearis >me, as it often was, it was merely interesting and seldom rose to the dignity of importance. With the sole exception of the stand taken by Chancellor von Caprivi and the masterly way in which ho handled his subject, nt another speaker for or against the measure suc ceeded in making the impression lie sought. The chanrellor's arguments without doubt helped to strengthen tiio prospects of the final adoption of the measure especially iu the encourage ment he gave to certain supporters of tlie treaty, who were weak-kneed because they fenrel that agrarian opposition would prevail. These deputies have now been supplied with the courage they need and no longer fear. Thirty Died Together - CAPE TOWN. March .— A trader from Shatigani River district, who has arrived at Buluwayo, states that he found within a radius ol fifty feet at a p Jut wh r • the party under command of Captain Wilson is supposed to have made their last stand before being massacred by the Matabeles, the bones of thirty-three men. The trader and his party gathered the bones together and buried them. Lute advices state that King Lo Bengula died January 23. His followers, it is said, nro trooping to Buluwayo with the intention of laying down their arms. Great anxiety is ex pressed by them to know where they are to live and who is to assume tho burden of the supp rt of the late king's wives and children. Colonnn Wants Cash. PARIS, March 7.

Purpiigitig Testimony Brought Out nt I lie Kearsarge Inquiry. ! BROOKLYN. X. Y. f March LJeut,- ! C mmander Pillsbury gave the most sur j prising testimony of any brought cut at J the Kearsarge inquiry. Ho has been in the service about J34 years, and ft.rut least tive years has been engaged iu the □bs Tvatioa of currents. Commander Pillsbury said he had found variable j currents even in what was known as the j guif stream. He had found currents ; Slowing in a direction opposite to that of j ; the gulf stream, and had found the stream ! j in places to be only 40 miles wide instead of i MO. To Admiral Gherardi, the witness said he did not consider that ho was actually j in ti:e gulf stream when he encountered j the reverse currents of which he had j spoken. j Tne witness then umde an interesting | j statement He said that since December j j last the hydrographic oilier had issued 1 I a new chart of the Caribbean sea which | j corresponded with the new pilot chart of that body of water, and which showed that the charts of the stream up to De- I cember had been all wrong. I "Do you mean," asked Admiral Gher- ' : ardi, "that where the currents w re north west they are now southwest?" ! "I mean that the old pilot charts up to December lost gave erroueous iuforniu- | ! tion." 1 Tne undercurrents in tho Caribbean i i s- n, Mr. Pillslniry continued, sometimes . J played great mischief with the surface ' ; currents, if the currents changed about ; I Koncudor it could not lie detecte I by ; J those on board ship until within a mile ; I of the reef. Klcctioii Murder at Troy, ; TROY, March 7. - Never has Troy j witnessed a more exciting muni- j J cipal election. There were scenes <d disord r at many of the p 'ling ! places, but the Otttrugeous disregard of I the law reached its height at noon, when one young republican was murdered ami another was seriously wounded with a bullet in his head. Until late into the night the streets were crowded with ex- | cited throngs and the excitement U still at fever heat to-day. Robert and Will am Ross, tie victims, were amou< the citizens whoga: itr-1 at the polls in the th.r-lidistriet. of in - l.'hh , ward in the interest of certain can lidates. I The voting had been spirited at this dis 1 trict, but not until th • appearance of a gang Of alleged repeaters was there a i rippio of excitement. A man, who it is claimed had no right to cast a vote, pre- < seated himself at the pedis and demanded i ballots. Tnc republicans who challenged him were ejected and the ap, ; leant was aft rward pushed into the street by other republicans. Then bullets flew through the air and bur men were struck.

Antidote for Morphine, j NEW VOUK, March 6.—The efficacy of 1 rinangaaate of potash as an antidote .or morphine poisoning was demons; rated in the case of George 11. Ackermun of Passaic, N. J. Ackerman took seven grains of morphine in m stake for qui nine, and when lie found what he had done he called Dr. Edwin Do P. a tin, who administered sixty grains of sulphute of zinc as an emetic.

THAT ARROR PLATE Who Was Responsible for Its Imperfection? PITTSBURO, March 7. Theories are Abundant hut facts are scarce con cerning the mysterious points in the sup. posed conspiracy by which the Carnegie Steel company, limited, was compelled to pay over 1140,484.91 to the government. It is quietly intimated to-day that the real sensation iu connection with the con spiracy is yet to come and may develop very soon. A suggestion of its import ance can be deducted from a statement made by a man whose business takes him into the armor plate department at 11 mestea-l from 8 o'clock iu the morning until .' o'clock in the evening. He states that it would be impossible for employes of the company to cause defective armor plate to ba shipped without the aid of higher officials either of the company or the govern meat, He said that the gov ernment inspectors saw the armor plates every day ami made a record of them. These records are filed. When a plate is finished, its complete record througu every process is forwarded to the govern ment at the time it is shipped, lie claimed th it there would be no way to deceive the government unless such de ception was courted. The informant also states that it is equally impossible for an unauthorized person to secure or use the government seal with which each ap proved plate is stamped. About the works at Homestead, the idea of a conspiracy is scouted by those who know the amount of red tape each plate must go through during its manu facture. One of tho men supposed to have been in the conspiracy is said to bo sti.l at work in the armor plate department. Tue fr: IK'H of the men who luruished infor mation to the government are exceediugly wroth ver the imputations of co. spiracy laid upon theiu in the recent publications. It is not denied that F. B. Perry. E iward Fill, Dennis liiley aud T. E. James, until recently employes of the Carnegie Steel company, have received mon y from the United States government for' their ser victs in furnishing the information re H tive to the quality of the aruirr plate delivered to the naval department Too ! assertion that the persons mentioned wi re ; in any way responsible for the shipment of defective plate is. however, emphati cally denied, and it is pointed out that it would have keen impossible for them to have entered into such a conspiracy or exercised any control over the manufac ture or shipment of armor plate. As to the division of the $35,000 reward, James has tdd some friends that he received $7,400 as his share and that Perry, Sill and Riley received similar sums. 11 B. Williams, an engineer, and a man named Gr-gg, employed in the heating depart ment, received $..300 and $2,00) respec tively. Five others, whose names are unknown, were also given sums ranging Irom $l5O to $750. HAD HIS MOT IIKH BEHEADED. King Peb A nzlO'H Mntlind of Sending a Message to libs Dead Father. PARIS, March 7. A despatch from Da homey says that King Behanzln, on tho eve of liis surrender, summoned his wid owed mother and, after telling her of his intention to submit to tho French, sai l ; be must first inform his father, and would therefore have her take him a message. Behanzin thereupon ordered that his mother be beheaded, and, smoking a pip?, calmly looked on while the attendants ! decapitated tier. Washington Baseball Club. ! WASHINGTON, March 7.—The players under contract to the Washington Bane ball club will report hereon Monday for I in-door training and will uot go south. There are twenty-six men on the team, j which is about the largest number to open the season with any club in recent , years. Ted Larkiu, the first baseman, who was reserved from last year, will he released unconditionally, und he will ac cept an engagement in one of the minor leagues. Joe Mulvey of Philadelphia, has asked to come here, and lie will prob ably bo given a chance.

Marcl 7. -Money on call easy -sit 1 per cent. Prima mercantile paper 4a41-2 per cent. Sterling exchangs 4.88 1-2. Government bonds steady. Stale bonds dull. Ruilroad bonds strong. The excitement in American Sugar was intense in the morning hut abated after 11a m. The stock naturally continued feverish iu its course. The price rallied to 05 3-4, and then receded to 93 3-4. Tho street is still discussing the phenomenal changes. Special reasons for the jump are first that a young and somewhat in experienced broker was given an order to buy five thousunJ shares of the stock. The i rder was too large for him to han dle, lie lost his bend and bought his la t hundred at par. In other words, he bid the stock upon himself. Another story is that Washington shorts became alarmed at the strength of the stock and started in to covei. In corroboration it may be said that a Broadway h use with Washington connections bought twenty thousand shares of the stock inthe morn ing. A local house which has acquired the reputation of being bearish all the year round was caught in the upward whirl and helped swell the bank accounts of the bulls. The most enthusiastic of the latter are now claiming that the Wd s n bill is doomed, and they are basing their operations on this theory.
