DEMOCRATS READY TO HEDGE I
Simmons, of Xorth Carolina, Writes
Against Free Lumber.
WASHINGTON, April 5. That the
Democratic Senators who have local
interests which might be injuriously
affected by a reduction of the tariff
on them, will not feel called upon to
allow the declarations of the Denver
platform to stand fn the way of their
opposing such reductions, is made evi
dent by a letter which Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina . has .written
on the subject of the tariff on lumber.
He takes the position that the Demo
cratic pledge of a tariff for revenue
only was made with reference to the
whole tariff system, and therefore It
does not apply to any Individual ar
ticle. "Did the Democrats, he asks, "mean
to promise free lumber without any
regard to the character of the general j
measure of . whieli .It was to be a
part, or the discrimination that would
result if that measure covered with
highly protective or prohibitive duties
other articles in the same general
classification? .
He answered his own question in the

the result of compromise. There was an
uproar when Ran dell arfked If Clark "be
lieved in the doctrine that If a Represen
tative here gets some swag, he ought
to go with the Republicans In making
thU bill."
dark objected to the word 'swag" and
aald the people of the South, while bear-
Ilia- the burdens of the protective tariff
system, at least ought to have a divi
sion of the benefits. Amid applause from
the Republicans, dark declared:
"I am In line with the Democratic
pnrty. but I am not In line with the Pop-
ullslio element that has controlled it re
cent ly.'
Kvidently referring to Clark of Florida.
Pou of rViuth Carolina said that any man
who supported the bill belonged on the
Republican side. lie likened Clark to the
Arab chief who had surrendered his
companions for a part of the booty.
Remarking that he placed his patriot
ism above selfishness, Cuahman of
Washington defended the special order.
He warned the members against putting
tuiiiDer on the Tree list.
Fitzgerald Denounce Bill.
Republican handclap greeted Fitz
gerald of New York, the new Democratic
member of the committee on rules. He
snld Clark, the minority leader, had 1
fused him time to speak, whereupon he
sought and received time from the same
source as the minority ieadir, and that
waj Dalzoll.
"Whatever differences I msy have w.Lfc
my party associates In the House," ne
said, "I shall settle at an appropriates
time, i tnink, to my own satlsf tc'Jor.."
Fitzgerald denounced the Payne bill.
charging that It was not what it pur
ported to be. -Confident that the tariff
was to be revised by its friends," he as
serted, 'this capital has seen a complete
absence of the great magnates represent
ing the combined corporate wealth in the
Vnlted States."
Calling attention to what be said were
the joker In the bill Randell of Texas
said the measure was full of fraud and
deception.
tlork of Allssourt argued that every
member had the right to vote on the
hill "from a toss." If members Insisted
on tlelng their hands, he said, they
c'Hiia ao so, out ne wouia not.
"When you go back to your constitu
ents," ne exclaimed. "don t be so
cowardly as to undertake to lay this
whole thing on Mr. Cannon."
ne- caiiea attention to tne "outrageous
raise," In hosiery and gloves. Th.e
House, lie said, had a right to say
whether steel rails should go on the free
list. He charged that the delay In bring
ing In the rule was for the purpose of
"making trades. of bulldozing and
wheedling men on to the reservation.'
Payne Answers All Critics.
Answering all the arguments against
the rule. Payne declared that the Re
publican party would be held respon
sible for the bill before the country. He
assorted that every fact and every source
of Information had been sought In order
that a bill might be presented that would
do simple justice to the consumer and
the laborer. Responsibility on the Demo
cratic side, he said, was different. If the
Democrats bad shown some diligence,
courage and patriotism, they would bave
presented to the country their Idea of
a tariff bill. He defended the glove and
hosiery schedule, and declared that
under the hill they would be sold as
cheaply as thry were today, with Amerl
run workmen and better workmanship.
He pleaded with his colleagues to look
beyond their districts and "for Ood's
sake hasten the passage of the bill."
Palzell moved the previous question
but before the vote was announced. Clark

rHandpat Insurgents were busy try
ing to rally their forces before the
rule was brought In. but some of them,
foreseeing defeat, got "back on the res
ervation" and voted for the rule. Their
matti efforts today were directed
towards keeping the lumber schedule
. from coming to a vote, which they
feared would put that commodity on
the free list.

declares that the tariff on lumber is
already low as compared with the duty
on other building materials such as
steel, iron and cement, and adds:
"If we are -to have a tariff for pro

That Andrew P. Nelson, the wealthy

But a few weeks before his death.
Nelson received an anonymous letter
stating that If he would deposit $500
in gold tied In a canvas sack under
the steps of a school house near his
home, he "would receive information
concerning the whereabouts of Ms
wife. The letter stipulated that Nel
son must keep his dealings with the
writer secret and go to he school
house alone at night. The next night
be was to call at the rendezvous and
he would find a letter containing the
Information he desired. Nelnon placed
the letter In the hands of the police
and arrangements were made to bait
the writer with a dummy sack, but
Nelson failed to appear and tho police
were blocked.
At the time Nelson told the police
that this was only one of similar let
