from Secretary Carlisle, a to the effect
of the proposed bill upon the revenue.
Kerry called up the free sugar bill.
Harris, while favoring free sugar,
thought this and other bills should be
referred to the finance committee.
Berry said the senate had been charged
with being the friend of the sugar trust.
He wanted the bill to pass exactly as it

At this point Corkrell presented the j

senate an amendment was inserted in
the tariff bill making alcohol frpe of tax

tion or like rompouuds. Uoughly es- j
tiniated, said Miller, this amenumeni
would reduce the revenue alout $S,iX)0,-

vision as to medicine would exempt all

to put a little bitter or a dash of Ja

let it escape all revenue taxes.
Chairman Wilson has been commis

change w ill be made without trouble, a

II expressed the hope the commission
would use every effort to get to the
bottom of the matter under considera
tion. Commissioner Kernan assured
blm the investigation would be
thorough.
"Now," said the commissioner, "tell
us what in your opinion caused the rail
road strikes?"
"The strikes were caused,' answered
Howard, "by the statement of the gen
eral managers that they would back op
termination. "v e ordered no strike, we
simply desired that Pullman car be left
off the trains. At thi point we were
met bv the lieneral Manager Associa
tion. They refused to haul the mail

called for. The Pullman were in no-

C leveland. Writes to VYIl.oa.
Washisgton-, Aug. 15. The president
has written a personal letter to Chair
man Wilson on the outcome of the tariff
battle. It will not be made public, nor
would any reference to it whatever have
been allowed had not some uf W ilson c
friend inadvertantly disclosed the fact I
I that the letter wa written Monday
! morning a soon as the president re
ceived a bulletin saying the house bad
determined to recede from the disagree
ment and accept the senate bill. The
letter speak leohngly of Wilson' devo
tion to tariff reform and of hi unselfish
swrifiVe of hi health and strength to
carry out the principle of hi party. It
doe not discuss the tariff question ex
cept in an indirect way. expressing deep
sympathy and legret for the personal
reverse met by Wilson.
A Murderer Who Talked.
Lexington-, Ky., Aug. 15 Floyd
White is being tried here for waylaying
and murdering 10-year-old Herbert
Trickier, son of a prominent farmer near
here. White was examined after bis ar
rest and discharged, bat a prominent
countv official employed a colored
Pinkerton detective, who associated
;., Wliitp. trained his confidence and
secured his confession of murder,
White, in making it, expressed regret
that be could not kill a thousand white
.. i ,j f
men. n tine seems to oo jwdcosom
the idea that it is hi duty to kill a
mmt white men as possible. The direct
evidence of the negro detective, coupled
with circumstantial evidence, will un
doubtedly convict him of murder.
Washington, Aug. 16. The republi
can steering committee today decided to
support the motion to refer the four sup
plemental tariff bills to the finance com
mittee, and to seek to amend in various
ways, the principal amendment being
for a repeal of the tariff bill just passed.
They count upon the votes of Hill, Caf
fery, Blancbard, Allen and Kyle. If the
repeal amendment should fail, they
would seek to substitute a bounty pro
vision in the pending bill for free sugar,
and would expect to secure the votes of
these five senators, except Hill. They
will also offer other amendments in
. orinin inn ti ntrencies. including one for
a duty on wool. They admit the sugar
bill should pass, with an amendment
providing, either for bounty or for the
reneal of the main bill. The house
probably would refuse to accept it, and
most likely would fail in conference,
but they claim the senate, especially
the republican senators, would not ue
responsible for that result.
