HOUSE TARIFF BILLS
Were Discussed in the Sen
ate Today.
IT WILL DIE IN THE COMMITTEE
Opposed to Bill, for Fru Sugar. Iron
and Coal Defect In the Alcohol
Tax Amendment.
Washington, Aug. 15. At 12:15 the
clerk of the house brought to the senate
the tariff bill, and at 12 :27 the vice
preaident eigned the bill. The bills to
place coal, iron ore and barbed wire on
the free list were read. Then Harris
bad a letter read he had just received
from Secretary Carlisle, as to the effect
of the proposed bills upon the revenues.
Berry called up the free sugar bill.
Harris, while favoring free Bugar,
thought this and other bills should be
referred to the finance committee.
Berry said the senate bad been charged
with being the friend of the sugar truBt.
He wanted the bill to pass exactly as it
came from the bouse. Harris said an
early report should be made by the com
mittee. At this point Cockrell presented the
conference report on the general defi
ciency bill. The only dispute was $1,
800,000 for Southern war claims, to
which the house would not agree. He
moved the senate insist on this point.
Sherman moved that the senate recede
from its amendment, but his motion
was lost and Cockrell's carried. Cockrell
presented the conference report on the
sundry civil bill, and it was agreed to.
Vest resumed his speech on Harris'
motion to refer the free sugar and other,
bills to the finance committee. He said
it meant the death of the bill, as the
committee was politically a tie with the
prospect of the disappearance of a
quorum within a few days. He de
clared the position of the senate on the
tariff has been vindicated by the letter
of Secretary Carlisle, who proved con
clusively that if the house bill had been
enacted it would have caused a defi
ciency of $30,000,000. He showed that
the power acquired by the sugar trust
was the result of its fostering by pro
visions of the McKinley bill.
The Tax on Alcohol.
Washington, Aug. 15. National Rev
enue Commissioner Miller was at the
capitol today, seeing Mr. Wilson con
cerning what may be an unfortunate
complication in the collection of the
new revenue tax on alcohol. In the
senate an amendment was inserted in
the tariff bill making alcohol free of tax
when used in art, in medical prescrip
tiona or like compounds. Roughly es
timated, said Miller, . this amendment
would reduce the revenue about $8,000,
000 or $10,000,000 annually.' The pro
vision as to medicine would exempt all
bitters. It would be necessary merely
to put a little bitters or a dash of Ja
maica ginger in a barrel of whisky to
let it escape all revenue taxes.
Chairman Wilson has been commis
sioned by the ways and means commit
tee to overcome the trouble. His bill
will be given a special rule to bring it to
a speedy reading, and it is expected the
change will be made without trouble, as
far as the house is concerned.
would use every effort to get to the
bottom of the matter under considera
tion. Commissioner Kernan assured
him the investigation would be
thorough.
"Now," said the commissioner, Vtell
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 backup
Pullman during the strike." Howard
then entered into an exhaustive recital
of the troubles leading up to the original
Pullman strike. "The men had an
nounced their intention of striking," he
said, "but on being assured by the com
pany's officials the employes' grievances
would be investigated, we urged the
men to go back to work, which they did
on the promise of the company's com
mittee, who hd bandied the trouble,
that they would not be discharged or
otherwise injnred because of the part
they had taken. After that promise by
those committeemen they were dis
charged. Then the men struck. Our
union, after having failed to get any
satisfaction from the Pullman company,
endeavored, by boycotting the company's
cars, to bring matters to a satisfactory
termination. We ordered no strike, we
simply desired that Pullman cars be left
off the trains. At this point we were
met by the General Managers Associa
tion. They refused to haul the mail
cars until Pullmans were attached to the
trains. Such action was entirely un
called for. The Pullmans were in no
wise necessary for the transmission of
the United States mails."
CarlLle Opposed the Bills.
Washington, Aug. 15. A letter , of
Secretary Carlisle to Senator Harris re
views the condition of the treasury and
the estimated revenue of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year. The
figures show that under the tariff bill
just sent to the president, the revenues
would exceed the expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, $15,-
000,000. The revenues from the sugar
duty Carlisle placed at $43,000,000, and
from coal, iron ore and barbed wire,
ti,uuu,uuu. xi me nouse Dills were
passed there would, Carlisle says, be a
deficiency next year of $29,000,000.
The Strike Investigation.
Chicago, Aug. 15. The. strike com
mission appointed by President Cleve
land to invegtigate the Pullman and rail
road strikes, began work today with
Vice-President Howard, of the American
Railway Union, as the first witness
He expressed the hope the commission
Cleveland TVrltes to YPilson.
Washington, 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 of Wilson's
friends inadvertantly disclosed the fact
that the letter was written Monday
morning as soon as the president re
ceived a bulletin saying the house had
determined to recede from the disagree
ment and accept the senate bill. The
letter speaks feelingly of Wilson's devo
tion to tariff reform and of his unselfish
secrifice of his health and strength to
carry out the principles of his party. - It
does not discuss the tariff question ex
cept in an indirect way. expressing deep
sympathy and i egret for the personal
reverses met by Wilson.
A Murderer. Who Talked.'
Lexington, Ky., Aug. 15 Floyd
White is being tried -here for waylaying
and murdering 16-year-old Herbert
Trickier, son of a prominent farmer near
here. White was examined after his ar
rest and discharged, but a prominent
county official employed a colored
Pinkerton detective, who associated
with White, gained his confidence and
secured his confession of murder
White, in making it, expressed regret
that he could not kill a thousand white
men. White seems to be possessed of
the idea that it is bis duty to kill as
many white men as possible. The direct
evidence of the negro detective, coupled
with circumstantial evidence, will un
doubtedly convict him of murder. '
Sent to the President
Washington, Aug. - 15. Representa
tive Pearson, chairman of the house com
mittee on enrolled bills, left the capitol

ing the tariff bill, which he will put in

ceived the announcement of the enroll
ment of the tariff bill without demon

Senator Hoar's Opinion.
Worcester, Mass., Aug. 15. Senator
Hoar, in an interview, characterized the
tariff bill as a bill for the protection of
the seats of the democratic senators.
Cleveland, he said, would not dare veto
the bill, because, by doing so, Cleveland
would smash his party.

HAD PREACHERS ENOUGH.
Stories - That Are Funny, Bat a I.lttle
Uonbtrnl.
The story is related of a bishop who
came to one of our state prisons and
was told; '.'No need of you here, sir.
We have .eight preachers safely locked
up wha are. brought out each Sabbath
to minister to their fellow-prisoners."
If this appear a doubtful tale, it can
be varied with the following about a
.young lady Sunday-school teacher who
has a class of rather bright boys, aver
aging between seven and nine years.
Recently she requested each pupil to
come ou the following Sunday with
some passage of Scripture bearing up
on love. ' The lads heeded the request
and'in turn recited their verses bear
ing upon that popular subject, such as
"Love your' enemies," Little children
love one" an6ther," etc. The teacher
said td the boy whose turn came last:
"Well, Robbie, what is your verse?"
Raising : himself up, he responded:
''Song of Solomon, second chapter,
fifth verse: 'Stay me with flagons,
comfort me with apples,., for I am
sick of love.' " ....

Deafness Cannot he Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased . portion of the ear.
There is only one way.to'cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the ' mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken outand
this tube restored to its normal -condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten' are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
