The Utile Row lletween llomocrntrt. tlHrmn and llMWHlInn Inland. (Katun Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, April 19. President McKinley is not taking side either for or nsrainst any of the proposed amendments to the Dingley tariff bill All ho has asked of Senators is that they will act upon the bill as speedily 09 possible. He believes that when the bill is passed and the amend ments adopted by the Senate have been acted upon by a conference committee that the bill will bo as good a measure as it possibly can be . made under existing circumstances. The much talked shout amend ments to the Dingh-y tariff bill, which Western Senators have asked for, turn out to be very different from tho predictions made by those who ha ve been hoping for a breach iu tho Republican ranks in tho Sen ate wide enough to defeat the tariff bill. The amendments deal mostly with tho wool schedule and are largely devoted to so classifying wo 1 that some of the frauds known to have bean perpetrate! under the classification of tho McKinley tariff, will bo avoided. It is also claimed by the Western Senators that these amendments are intended to equalize tho protection given to tho wool manufacturer and the wool grower. The regular semi-weekly row be tween the followers of Representa tive McMillin, of Tenn., tho rival would-be Donnxu-ntic loaders, has become a feature of the short meet ings of tho House, which draws full galleries and which has crowded Jerry Simpson's lit'lo Populist cir- fccus to tho wall. In this rivalry a local paper, which poses as Bryan s mouth-piece, has sought to convey the impression in its daily diatribes against Bailey that .McMillin was the personal representative of Mr. Bryan. One of these editorials was denounced on tho floor of tho house as "an infamous and malicious lie" by Mr. Bailey, who added by way of emphasis : I denounce every man who has helped to circulate it as an infamous and malicious liar." Tho editorial in question said in effort that tho leadership of Mr. Bailey was tho leadership of Mr. Reed. Not wishing to keep tho now Senators out of tho privileges be longing to members of the commit tees any longer, the Republican Cau cus Committee chargod with conferr ing with tho Democratic cominittoo on tho tfubjoct, reported to tho cau cui in favor of accepting tho last Democratic proposition for filling tho committee vacancies. This pro gramme gives tho Republicans all vacancies, including chairmanships, that wor3 made by tho retirement of Republicans, and gives one place on the Appropriation Committee that was filled by a Democrat to a Re publican, while tho Committee on Post Office and Post Roads will got one additional Democrat. This ar rangement is not altogether desir able but it is the best the Republi cans can do until they get a major ity in the Senate. It allows them to retain the Chairmanship of all tho most important committees, but on some of those committees they will be iu the minority. The opinion of gentleman, who Las recently spent a long jxiriod in Japan, on the intentions of that country towards Hawaii is interest ing, in view of recout rumors con cerning the sending of warships to Hawaii by Japuu, and of the state ment of tho Japanese minister to the Unite 1 States that this country lAs no improper designs on Hawaii. This gentleman is Mr. W. B. Ed-. minister, now in Washington, and lie says; "It is my opinion, based upon a long intercourse with the Juimnose, that it is their ultimate aim to swoop down on Hawaii, cap ture the island, and through farce of arms sot up a government of their own. It is the common talk in the stroetsof Japan's capital, that Japan is entitled to plant her flag in Hawaii for the reason that the Japanese out number any other nationality on the islands." It will be remembered that Congress has explicitly declared that the United States would not countenance any interference with the government of Hawaii by any foreigu government, and many be lieve that it is that declaration alone which has caused Japan to keep her - bands off Hawaii up to this time. Judge Day, of Canton, Ohio, who is going to Cuba asa spttcinl United States Consul to co-operate witli Coinul-Oenernl Leo in making an investigation of tho charges concern ing the cans1 of tho death of Dr. Ruiz, is in Washington for the pur pose of conferring with Pre-udont McKinley and making a study of all documents in the Department oi State that are likely to assist him in the investigation. While Judge Day's official mission to Cuba will be confined to the Ruiz investigation he will not close his eyes to what joes on around him, and it is cer tain that President McKinley will set the benefit of everything he learns over there.

An Somewhat rorrnliojutlve of the Ite nittrkH of a Correaprtiident I" Another Column We Jlve the rollowlnff. Sevill Scholield, Sr., one of the best known manufacturers of Manayunk, Pa., has written a letter to be presented to tho United States Senate, in favor of restoring the duty on rags, in which ho saj'S : "There are about 270,000,000 pounds of unscoured wool grown in tho United States annually. Assumo this wool loses 50 per cent, in scour ing, wo will have 135,000,000 pounds of scoured wool, which is made into goods of various kinds. "There nie also from 7,000,000 to 9,000,000 bales of cotton grown an nually in the United States, one-half of which is probably exported, thus leaving at least 4,000,000 bales that are used here. Of this about three fourths nro worn out and go into rags nnd waste in various stages This will show the percentage of woolen and cotton nigs collected, which is about 7 per cent, of woolen and 83 percent, of cotton rags. "There are no less than 75,000 persons employed in Now York and Pennsylvania alone in the rag-gathering nnd sorting business. "The collecting ol cotton rags was lost in this country under the Mc Kinley bill on account of tho large importations from Europo, they being admitted free of duty, but when woolen rags were made free under the Wilson bill it killed tho rag i athoring business, for tho rea son that it did not pay the gatherers or dealers to handle them. I would recommend a duty of one cont a pound on all unsortod rags, nnd two cents a pound for sorted rags. In a letter from Alexander Murphy & Co., Custom House brokers, it is shown that in 1802, when thero was a duty on rags, 5,771,801 pounls were imported, and that in 18(53, when rags were admitted freo, 27, 304,411 pounds of rags were im ported." Mr. Schofleld quoted from a letter written by William F. Dixon, in which ho said : "The freo importa tion of rags has thrown out of em ployment about 200,000 persons in this country. A duty of one-half cont per pound cm mixed and one cent on assorted rags would result in put ting that many men and women to work."

A limb of the tree was too low to allow the load to iwiss and in avoiding that in some way the forward wheels of tho wa gon struck the plank of the bridge which threw him off.

Speaking about foreigners not un derstanding our institutions, I bad a conversation with a foreign boi'n citizen n few days ago, and from what he said I am led to boliovo they understand them bettor than many native born citizens, for they have personal knowledge of both sides. This is tho way he imparted some information which struck home. He said I am a foreign born citizen and a black Republican, you are a native norn American and a Democrat. Economy in Europo is the rule all over with the people. They must practise it. For instance the rich who cannot wear a suit of clothes very long, sell thorn to the Israelites as second hand, then they lire sold again and so goon through the same process until they reach the pauper class, and by the time they get through them thoy are a mass of rags, they are then made up into shoddy cloth and the Democrats in this country backed by importers money yell freo trade, and you have seen during the last administration how 'hose shoddy goods, the refuse of foreign pauiiors, aro dumped on our markots. There is an excuse for a foreign born citizen to be a Demo, crat for he may havo some lingering affection tor relatives and friends on the other side, but I can hardly un tterstand why a native born Ameri can should be, and why they will al low themselves to bo controlled and led, to uphold a part which advo cates principles directly in conflict with their own interests nnd wel. fare. Wo hear on every side, "keep out the foreign paupers." I am in favor of that too, but I am also opposed to being compelled to wear these rags by having free trade and so forcing our people to buy them because they cannot earn money to buy good American made goods. The logic seemed so clear that I think hero after I will be an Ex-Di-:.ioenA'r. Ripans Tabules cure Indigestion. Kipans Tabules: gentle cathartic. Rip. ma Tabules cure constipation.
