THESE GET A HEARING
Explain How Wilson Law
Injured Their Industry.
HIGHER DUTIES RECOMMENDED
R They Want IS Couts on Merluo, 84
CoutR on AVatihed ani 30 Cents
nu Secured Wool.
Wahhington, Jan. (i. The hearing
on tho wool schedule brought many
farmers and manufacturers to the ways
and means committee-room today.
John G. Clark, of the Washington
county (Pa.) Woolgrowerb' Association,
Bpoke strongly of the effects of the free
wool clause of tho Wilson law, which he
I declared had prostrated the business of
the United States. Tho experiment of
free trade had been a 'crime. The value
of land had declined ' and sheepmen in
all parts of tho country had been driven
from business. Tho sheepraisers asked
only a moderate duty that would enable
them to continue in business.
Tho Democratic members of ttie com
mittee probed the witness for some
time. Wheeler of Alabama aeked if
clothing for the workingmen had not
been cheaper under free wool, to which
Clark replied that tho moat of the cloth
ing sold now was shoddy. Importations
', of shoddy had increased under the law.
It' An hour was iiven Judco William
Lawrence, president of the National
Woolgrowera' Association, to present
the request of that body. His state
ment was an exclusive review of the
wool industry under different tariff rates
during the last balf a century. The
Wilson law, he declared, stopped a
third of the woolgrowing business and
closed half the mills. There had been
no adequate protection on wool since
187C.
Lawrence averred that the election of
Mr. McKinley had been accomplished
by the votes of the woolgrowers in a
balf dozen doubtful states, who would
have voted for Bryan and free silver had
they not considered protection on wool
more important than free silver. If
this protection was not given there
would be a free-silver congress two
years hence, and in four years a free
silver president and congress.
The McKinley bill, as it came from its
author, had been moderately protective
on wool, but the addition of the skirting
clause and ad valorem rates mado it dis
astrous. Under the Wilson law the
number of sheep in tho United States
had decreased 3,000,000 a year, with a
loss of $60,000,000, according to official
statistics. Unofficial and more accurate
ifigures proved the loss to wool growers
through the Wilson rates to have been
178,700,000. Mutton sheep, which
should be raised in this country, were

being imported from Canada.
The schedule asked by the Wool
growers' Association waB 12 cents a
pound on all merino wools, 24 cents on
washed and 36 cents on scoured. Aus
tralian unwashed wools to be considered
as washed. On account of its superior
lightness they said Australian wool had
an advantage over South American, los
ing comparatively little weight washing.
The dropping of the skirting clause was
asked, as to secure its advantages part
of the Australian wool were imported
which amounted to only half a fleece.
To do away with this clause,, it was
said, would give employment to 5,000
men in this country.
CIIAltGE MAY BE I'lKACY.
(Severe 1'unlNlimont Awaits tlie Three
J' r lends Filibuster.
New Youk, Jan. 0. A special to the
Herald from Jacksonville, Flu., says :
Itvie likely that .1. M. Barris, attorney
for the owners of the Three Friends, the
Cuban filibuster, Captain Lewis, com
mander; John Dunn, engineer; Cap
tain John O'Brien, the voteru filibuster,
and J. A. Huan and Heuery P. Fritot,
agents of the Cuban junta here, will be
prosecuted the United States govern
ment on a charge of piracy. Such a
prosecution is forshadowed in a libel
which was filed today against the Three
Friends by the United States Attorney
dark.
The libel is based upon the expedition
from Foriiandina on December 1. While
trying to land the expedition, it is said
the Three Friends used two 12-pound
Hotchkiss guns againt pursuing Spanish
gunboats. It is charged that the men
named mounted the guns and provided
shells for the purpose of making war
upon the king of Spain.
Throughout the document the Three
Friends is referred to as an "armed
crusier" fitted out by the men named for
the purpose of making war on Spain in
the interest of the Cuban insurgents.
This is the first time names have bean
used in a libel against the Three Friends.
The case also differs from previous ones
in that the violation of no particular sec
tion of the United States revised statutes
is specified. Attorneys here tiiink the
libl was drawn under Secretary Olney's
instructions, and ansert that its terms
foreshadow the prosecution of the men
named on a charge of piracy.
That the govenment will push the case
is evident from the fact that the five
newspaper correspondents who have

turn your money in full if
you don't like it.

extent; and we want no

the federal grand jury to tell what they
know about the vessel's last trip.
THE DAY IN COKORmS'
Attendance In tho Upper limine W
I.lBht.
Washington, Jan. 0. Loss than a
core of senators were in the senato
chamber when the session convened to
day. Hale, of Maine, secured the adop
tion of a resolution directing the secre
tary of state to send to the senate a
statement as to the action of the presi
dent or secretary of state touching the
recognition of any foreign people or
power as an independent government
and the corresponding action of other
branches of the United States govern
ment. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, secured
an agreement to a resolution calling on
the secretary of the interior for a state
ment of the amount of the subsidies
paid by the Union and Central Pacific
railroads to the Pacific Mail steamship
line.
Call, of Florida, spoke on his Cuban
resolutions introduced yesterday con
cerning the condemnation of Julio Sau
guilly, at Havana. Call said the report
from the state department as to the
killing of Charles Govin, omitted many
important features, which would have
disclosed that ConBiil-General Lee be
lieved Govin had been tied to a tree and
chopped to pieces. To show the facts,
Call read a letter from a gentleman in
Havana, whose name was withheld.
At the close of Call's Cuban speech,
the senate agreed to bis resolution, ask
ing the secretary of state for all corres
pondence in the case of Julio Sanguilly.
The senate-then went into executive
session for the purpose of considering
two treaties.
PACIFIC KAILUOADS DEBATE.
Fower ltlll to lie Argued In the
Bouse Tomorrow,
Washington, Jan. 0. The houBe com
mittee on Pacific railroads today arrang
ed the details of a debate which will be
begun tomorrow on the Powers bill.
The time will be equally divided by its
supporters and opponents, Chairman
PowerB begining the debate. Hubbard
of Missouri will control the time for the
minority. Harris of Alabama, who is
considering the proposal of a substitute
or amendment, to take the place of the
settlement question in the hands of the
commission, spoke of his plans, and one
or two other members said they consid
ered it their duty to support the com
mittee bill, to which they were already
pledged.
DISCUSSION I'OgTl'ONKD.
Foreign llelutlona Committee Did Not
Take up Cuban Ouentlou.
Washington, Jan. 6. In the absence
of Senator Cameron the senate com
mittee on foreign relations did not take
up the Cuban question today. When
the committee adjourned the opinion
was expressed by some members that
the Cameron resolution would not be
passed by the senate.
The committee agreed to favorable re
ports on extradition treaties with Argen
tine Republic and the Orange Free Stute.
GOJ1KZ KKTAL.fA.TK8.
Captures a HpanUh Town and Kills
the Inhabitants.
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 6. A letter re
ceived here from Cleba de Avilla on the
old trocba between Jucarro and Moroona,
says that General Gomez attacked this
place this week. Gomez asked the Span
ish commander to surrender the town.
He said he would not, but would fight.
The result of the flight was that the
town was captured by Gomez, who took
145 prisoners. All of these he killed.
This was according to a manifesto he
issued direceted to Spanish authorities a
few days ago saying that as the Spanish
had refused to agree to conduct a humane
war, it was now an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth, just as Weyler had
treated the pacincos.
(steering Committee To Meet.
Washington, Jan. 6.- It is expected
a meeting of the republican steering
committee of the senate will be held as
soon as Allison, the chairman, arrives,
to accomodate the committee on Pacific
railroads, which is anxious to have a
day fixed for consideration of the refund
ing hill. It is probable the committee
will also consider the general order of
business, as several bills are pressing for
consideration.
SHE CARRIES THE MAIL.
Tlucky Ida Mintott and Her Life In the
Mountain.
The road from Cnstlow to Anderson
villo is through one of the roughest re
gions of Kentucky, says tho Cincinnati
Knqtiirer. Robberies are frequent, and
many a brave man has hesitated and
looked well to his gun before entering
on the trip. To Mrs. Minion, however,
the highway lias no terrors. She oujo.ys
the unique, distinction of being proba
bly ihe only female mall-carrier in
Uncle Sam's, service who rides horse
back fearlessly through the forests
with her pouch, wli'eh contains M.o
missives which arc the only moan.1-, of
communication with the world tit large
to the iTs'dcnt.'i of Anders onville.
She is a typical Kentucky mountain
girl, active, strong, fearless and very
intelligent. She is nu excellent horse
woman. io animal is too high spirited
for her, nor does she need hrlp in
mounting and dismounting. With the
mail pouch thrown across the pommel
of her saddle, rhe rides fearlessly alonf
the lonely highway, and it Is safe it
say that anyone interfering with lTnel
Sam's mail would have to 1h? a better
and quicker shot than the ordinary
man, or very well mounted, to stop the
mail.
Mrs. Minton has been married two
years. It. was from her own inclination
to help earn money that she took the
contract, to carry the malls. for three
years. She has now completed e:j;li I
months of her contract.
A Smart llrother. :
A negro was discovered carrying a
very large armful of books, which
brought forth the inquiry:
"(ioing to school
"Yes. sail, boss."
"Do you study all those books?"
"No, sah; dey's my brudder's. I 'no
a ignorant kind er nigger side him,
boss. You jest ortcr see dat nigger
ilggcrin'. lie done gone an' ciphered
clenn through addition, partition, sub
traction, distraction, abomination, jus
tification, creation, amputation and
adoption."
