GERMAN TARIFF BILL DOWNED.
Opposition Makes Amendments the
Government Will Xot Accept.
BERLIN, Oct. 21. The government was
defeated in the Reichstag today In test
votes on the tariff bill, by the Conserva
tives and Centrists inserting in the Min
istry's bill amendments fixing the mini
mum wheat duties at $1 50 per metric
hundredweight, in place of $1 37, and the
rye duties at $1 37& Instead of $1 25. The
votes were: Wheat, 194 to 145; rye, 187 to
152.
The Ministry was composed of National
Liberals, Socialists and Radicals. Pre
vious to the rollcall, Chancellor von Bu
low again firmly announced that it was
impossible for the government to accept
the amendments. Three courses are now
open to the Ministry dissolve the- Reichs
tag, negotiate, for a compromise or let
the majority pass the bill in any form it
chooses, and suppress it in the Bundes
rath. In the latter event, commercial
treaties will be negotiated on the basis
of the present tariff. The Chancellor's
plan appears to be to do nothing Imme
diately, and wait to see if the majority
will yield.
Prior to the votes. Von Buelow made a
fighting speech in behalf of the bills as
drawn up by the federal government.
These, he declared, agreed that all pos
sible -protection was accorded to agricul
ture, compatible with the conclusion of
commercial treaties. The Chancellor pro
tested against the assertion that the im
perial government was "sawing off the
branch on which the monarch was sit
ting." Other interests could not be ig
nored in favor of agriculture. Ho had
lane the best possible for the farmers, and
he did not care whether in return he re
ceived thanks or Ingratitude.
As to the talk of a change of govern
ment, a long time would elapse before any
Imperial Chancellor would do so much for
the Interests of agriculture as he had en
deavored to do. Continuing, he said no
pledges had been given to foreign coun
tries, but the government was fully aware
of the feeling prevailing abroad. From
the first, the federal government had
shown clearly how far it was prepared
to go in the matter of minimum duties.
He had been reproached with saying to
the Reichstag, "Swallow the bill or die."
The government, the Chancellor declared,
did not desire to Influence the opinion of
the majority of the House, but as it was
a question of taking action which would
have an effect abroad, the government
must ask for a larger measure of au
thority. He declared It was impossible to
conclude treaties with higher minimum
rates, and hoped the majority of tho
House favored the treaties.
Tho Chancellor concluded with reitera
tion in the name of the federal govern
ment that all the dissentient amendments
advanced during the discussion, with the
view of increasing the minimum rates on
wheat and rye, already fixed, wquld be
unacceptable. The House then divided.
NATION'S STRIKE POLICY SCORED.
French icsihlntors Object to Mili
tary Protection for Coal Barons.
PARIS, Oct. 21. The French miners'
strike was brought up In the Chamber of
Deputies today in the form of a. Socialist
interpellation criticising the government's
military measures to protect non-strikers.
M. Thriever, Socialist, Deputy from Mount
Lunon, declared that the government, by
placing troops at the service of the com
pany, was abandoning its neutrality, and
he demanded their recall. M. Baly, Social
ist, insisted that the government should im
pose arbitration on the mlneowners, who,
he declared, were alone benefited by the
Dtrike. as it kept up the price of coal. Af
ter other speeches on the subject, but
which brought no new facts to light, the
discussion was postponed until Thursday.
The chamber then adjourned.
Advices received from the coal fields to
day show that disorders of a minor na
ture are becoming more frequent. There
have been repeated attempts at intimida
tion, and so many endeavors to derail
trains carrying non-strikers have been
made at Deeasevllle, in the coal mining
district of the Department of Aveyron,
that the authorities there have been com
pelled to have the trains bearing non
strikers preceded by a train filled with
soldiers, which is bound to be preceded
by a pilot engine.
rates at the Island of Mlndla off the
Lohela (Arabia) Coast, which the Italians
briskly bombarded.
The gunboats afterward proceeded , to
Hodolda, the most flourishing seaport of
Yemen, and demanded 'reparation. The
Porte Ins promised the officials of the
Italian Embassy here to take measures
to arrest tho culprits. In the meantime,
the commander of the Italian gunboats
threatens, unless prompt reparation is ac
corded, that he will be compelled to
take action necessary to obtain IL.
SOLDIERS' CONDITION TERRIBLE.
The 3Iad Mullah Had the British in
a Regular Trap.
LONDON, Oct. 21. A letter from an of
ficer belonging to the Somaliland expedi
tion received here shows that the force Is
In even In more precarious condition than
has been indicated' In the official dis
patches. The writer says:
"No one will appreciate this because
it is too late. We are In a regular .trap,
and how are we going to get out we do
not know. We have had stlffls-h fights and
have lost many men. The worst is lhat
our blacks are flunking and our camels
have nearly all been killed or captured.
We have next to no water and we are
miles from any wells. We have no sup
plies and nearly no ammunition. They
have captured two of our Maxims. I do
not suppose they care at home what hap
pens to ua It is a brutal shame to send
us blind into an ambush like this. I hear
fresh troops are coming up and only hope
they will come from India."
The writer refers incidentally to some
brisk fighting which he apparently pre
sumes was already known of here, and
adds:
"Thirty-three of us escaped. By Jove,
that was a pretty affair. We whites stood
out but oh, well, we have too many
blacks."
"WAR OFFICE IS BLAMED.
Military Men Hold It Responsible for
Disaster "to Swayne.
NEW TORK, Oct. 21. Military men hold
the Foreign Office rejfoonslble for the' dis
aster to Colonel Swayne's force, cables
the Tribune's correspondent at London.
For economy's sake, they say, the depart
ment acepted raw levies of Sbmalls as
trained, disciplined soldiers, while Colonel
Swayne's urgent counsel to establish a
permanent military post at Curao was not
followed. Lord Cranbourne's statement
in the House of Commons has created an
uneasy feeling, and further news Is eager
ly awaited. There is no question that
Colonel Swayne's force Is now ina most
perilous position, as the Mullah will re
ceive large accessions of fighting strength
from the tribes which previously remained
passive.
aiAD MULLAH A WILY MAN.
American Gnns Said to Have Been
Brought in as Calico.
LONDON, Oct. 21. An official con
nected with the Red Sea ports in an in
terview published in the Star today, says:
"The Mullah and other turbulent chief
have been liberally supplied with rifles by
Americans and Germans, In spite of the
British gunboats. The rifles supplied by
the Americans were done up as cotton
goods. This explains the frequent refer
ence in Consular reports to the fondness
of the Somalia for American calicos and
shirting. It is- not calico the Somali prizes,
but the rifles inside the calico."

Lynched Alons "With IIIh Pnl People
Not True to Their Promise to
Do No Violence.
HEMPSTEAD, Tex.-. Oct. 21. After be
ing tried in legal form and procedure -for
criminal assault and murder. Jim Wesley
and Heddlck Barton, negroes, were, late
this afternoon, taken from the authori
ties of this city and lynched in tho public
square by an infuriated mob. The Dis
trict Judge yesterday asked the Governor
for militia to accompany the negroes here
from the jail at Houston, where they were
safe. At the request of a large number
of citizens of Hempstead, who, it Is said,
signed a written promise to aid the au
thorities in preventing any mob act.
Judge Thompson this afternoon counter
manded his request, and' the troops did
not accompany the negroes.
Barton was tried first. JJe pleaded
guilty to criminal assault, and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged 63,
oir Sunday, October 12. The jury,- on
which were several negroes, promptly re
turned a verdict imposing the death pen
alty. During the afternoon, "Wesley was
put on trial. He pleaded guilty to as
sault, and then to the murder charge.
While his trial was proceeding, a mob
broke Into the courtroom and attempted
to take him. It having been ascertained
that the Sheriff had asked for troops. The
mob was dispersed, however, and the trial
proceeded, the state putting through Its
testimony hurriedly in corroboration of,
the plea of guilty. In this case, too, the
Jury Imposed the death penalty.
The officers of the court sat about the
room at the conclusion of tho trial, await
ing the coming of the militia, when there
was a sudden movement on the part of
several men In the room; the Sheriff was
overpowered and Wesley was taken by
the mob and hurried'away. Another por
tion of the mob. while this was going on,
attacked the jail where Barton had been
taken when his trial was over, and tho
prisoner was surrendered to them without
a struggle. The two prisoners were hus-
I tied to the public square, and there ex
j ecu ted by hanging. Neither of them had
I been sentenced, although District Judge
j Thompson had positively refused to per
! mit them to waive the 30 days of grace
i allowed by law. The suggestion to burn
J the negroes met with small favor. It was
the general desire that they die quickly.
! They were hanged to the arm of a tele
phone pole, where only last month an
other, murderer had been hanged by a
mob.
The town Is quiet tonight. Sheriff LIps
! combe was badly injured in the back by
! the rough treatment of the mob. During
the flrst rush, a shot was accidcntally
' fired, and Sheriff Sparks, of. Lee County,
i was wounded In the stomach, though not
seriously. The Governor was informed of
the iynchlng.
