Last Day of the General Discussion of
the Dingley Bill.
MANY CONGRESSMEN HEARD
Simpson~ of Kansas and Clark of llIissouri
Make Characteristic Speeches—Ef-
fect of Proposed Legislation
011 British Elaz'ket.
Washington, March 26.—This was the
last day of the general debate on the
tariff bill in the house. Mr. Talbert
(Dem., S. C.) in the presence of a very
scant audience both on the floor and in
the galleries opened the debate. The
house, however, rapidly filled. Mr. Tal-
bert talked a great deal about the rob-
ber barons.
Mr'. Champ Clark (Dem., Mo.), who
followed him, said as a Democratic
politician he rejoiced in the passage of
the pending bill, because after it had
become a law every storekeeper would
be obliged to make a Democratic speech
every time he made a sale. The pas-
sage Of this bill, he said, would give the
Democrats 100 majority in the next
congress.
Mr. Clark said that ord1na1 11y he was
a peaceable man, but charges had been
made on the other side in‘ the course
of the debate that made him regret
that the law against manslaughter
could not be temporarily suspended.
“When an able man like Mr. Hopkins
of Illinois and a brilliant man like Mr.
Dolliver of Iowa,” he said, “assert that
the Wilson bill is a free trade measure,
it is an outrage on common sense, truth
and decency. I do not concede to any
protectionist the right to define what-
free trade means.”
Mr. Clark referred to the changes
made in the Wilson bill by the senate
and exclaimed that the debate on the
tariff would go on forever until ”the
people and congress came to the plat—
form and policy of common sense and
free trade. He ridiculed the duties laid
on agricultural products, asserting
that it was impossible to give the
farmer any protection on his products.
After some brief remarks by Mr.
Maguire (Dem., Cal.) and Mr. Dunn
(Pop, Ida.), Mr. Tawney (Rep, Minn),
a member of the ways and means com—
mittee, took the floor for 20 minutes.
Mr. Tawney defended the lead schedule
which had been attacked by Mr. Gunn.
The latter said he had no criticism to
make of the rates. He only asked that
they be collected.
Mr. Tawney asserted that the classifi-
cation in this schedule was such that
the duties could not be evaded. The
purpose of the framers of the schedule
was to give American labor employ-
ment in the smelting of Mexican and
Canadian ores and at the same time
fully protect the American lead miners.
Mr. Tawney sketched the attitude of
the two parties on the subject of the
tariff to show how steadfastly the Re-
publicans had clung to protection and
how the Democrats had “backed and
filled” in their national platforms.
Jerry Simpson Again.
Mr. Simpson (Pop, Kan.) entertain-
ed tl1e house for a few minutes. He
read from ~Mr. McKinley’s speech at
the Minneapolis convention the decla-
ration that the foreigner paid the tax.
This statement, he said, was ridicu-
lous. The last congress, he proceeded
to say, had increased appropriations
$50,000,000 and now, according to Mr.
McKinley’s theory, the taxes on the
foreigners were to be increased to pay
for that extravagance.
The foreigners should be glad, he said,
that the last congress had not been a
two billion congress. If the taxes on
the foreigner could be sufficiently in-
creased, he observed, sarcastically, the
surplus could be distributed among our
people and every day would be Sunday
over here. He devoted some time to
criticism of the agricultural schedule.
He said he was himself a farmer who
farmed the farms, not the farmers. If
the Republicans had desired to do some-
thing practical for the farmers, why, he
asked, had they left hides on the free
list? Mr. Simpson announced himself a
free trader.
Mr. Cox ,Dem., Tenn.) and Mr. Mc-
Rae (Dem., Ark.) followed. The latter
ridiculed the idea that prosperity had
existed under the McKinley law or
would exist under the Dingley bill, if
it became a law. Mr. Grow (Rep, Pa),
the venerable ex—speaker, made a gen-
eral speech in favor of the theory of
The latest Democratic cry
of more money and less taxes he said
was preposterous. The Democratic
administration had demonstrated its
lack of statesmanship by being unable
to keep out of the poorhouse.
Mr. Curtis (Rep, Kan.) defended the
agricultural schedule of the bill. He
deprecated attacks by the w est upon
the east.
Mr. Burke (Dem., Tex.) said the bill
should be entitled “a bill to build up
trusts and corporate influences and op-
press the agricultural people of the
United States.”
Mr. Lentz (Dem., O.) protested be—
cause but 20 minutes were given to the
six Ohio Democrats representing 400,-
000 persons who had vOted for William
(Democratic applause.)
British Comment on Tariff.
London, March 26.—The announce-
ment that the new United States tariff
will not be retroactive has resulted in
the inevitable rush of exports to Amer-
ica and for the moment every industry
is pushing this work. Ship owners are
finding difficulty in handling the busi-
ness offered. Their regular ships" have
been filled with cargoes long in advance
of the dates of sailing, and the Cunard
line is dispatching a vessel from Bor-
deaux to New York with goods which
are usually sent via Liverpool.
The Pall Mall Gazette remarks: “It
is singular that the American specula-
tors who are engineering the heaVy
buying have forgotten the lesson of
1890 ’91 ”
Continuing, The Pall Mall Gazette
says it anticipates even a worse de-
moralization than then.
Death of a. Mexican Veteran
Washington, March 26.——Alex M. Ken-
aday, secretary of the National Associa-
tion of Veterans of the Mexican War
and editor of The Vedette, died here to-
day, aged 73 years, after an illness of
nearly four years. He was well known
.to nearly all the veterans of the Mexi-
can war.

FREIGHT I‘OOL DECISION.
Blore Railroad Companies Leaving tho
Rate Associations.
New York. March 26. —— Dispatches
from the west received in this city to—
day show that the exodus of western
railroad companies from the various
rate associations precipitated by the
United States supi eme court decision in
the Transmissomi Freight association
case continues.
Two roads followed the example of
the Santa Fe in withdrawing from the
Western Freight association yesterday.
These were the Burlington and the
Minneapolis and St. Louis. They both
went a step farther than the Santa Fe
in that they withdrew from all organi-
zations of which they were members-
passenger as well as freight. The Santa
Fe is still a member of the TVestern
Passenger association and will remain
so until fully satisfied that the law ap-
plies to passenger traffic as well as
freight. It was expected that the Rock
Island and the Milwaukee and St. Paul
would also withdraw, but after mature
deliberation these two roads decided
to content themselves for the present
with abstaining from any action in
meetings or looking toward changes in
rates as they at present stand until the
full scope of the supreme court’s de-
cision can be fully ascertained. The
Chicago and Northwesternroad occu-
pies a similar position.
‘ All the associations still retain their
corporate existence and will continue
to do so for the time being. None of
them, however, will attempt to do any
business until it is decided what their
future will be. That they will be con-
tinued in some form is a foregone con-
clusion. The business of the roads is
too much interwoven to permit of its
transaction without some means of, mu-
tual action. It is confidently believed
that some way will be found of reor—
ganizing them in such a way as to pre-,
vent complete demoralization.
The hIemphis Road.
Kansas City, March'26.——The Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Memphis road yes-
terday gave formal notice of its in—
tended withdrawal from the Western
Freight association and the Transmis-
souri freight rate committee, the only
traffic organizations in which the Mem—
phis is represented.
One result of the supreme court’s de-
cision was shown yesterday when a
number of local grain firms ignored the
branch office of the Western Freight
association in billing their cereals east.
Heretofore all this business has been
transferred through the local office of
that association. In the future these
firms will present their billings to the
different railroad companies individual-
ly. Should the roads refuse to transact
the business thus offered them the law-
fulness of the organization of the West-
ern Freight association may be brought
to the attention of the federal courts.
Missouri Pacific Out.
_ St. Louis, March 26.—The Missouri
Pacific has given notice of withdrawal
from all freight associations. This,
however, does not include weighing and
inspection bureaus.
Salisbury to Visit the Queen.
London, March 26.—The Marquis of
Salisbury started today for Cimiez,
where Queen Victoria is staying. The
premier will travel via Paris, where, it
is expected, he will have an interview
with M. Hanotaux, the French minis-
ter for foreign affairs, on the eastern
situation. At this interview it is be-
lieved the question of the participation
of France'in the blockade of Greece
will be decided. His lordship will not
arrive at Nice until Saturday next.
Nitroglycerin Scares a Town.
New Kensington, Pa., March 26.—-A
heavily loaded wagon of nitroglycerin
has become stalled
schoolhouse. Every owner of a horse in
town has been asked LL allow his team
to assist in hauling the explosive away
and every one has refused. The school
has been close: and the citizens are
afraid the town will blow up before the
nitroglycerin is removed.
Another Blow at Kinctoscope.
Albany, March 26.—Senator Koehler
has introduced a. bill making it unlaw-
ful to exhibit in any place in this state,
by means of any pictures, pictorial
prints, scenes, or performances, or by
any illustrated publications, any rep-
resentations of any pugilistic or boxing
contests, or of any fistic encounters, or
of any similar kind or character what-
ever.
Big Fire In Beaver, Pa.
Beaver, Pa., March 26.—Fire today
completely destroyed the Buchanan
building, occupied by the postoffice,
Star Publishing company, Western
Union Telegraph company, Shilloty’s
dry goods store and a number of law-
yers and dentists. Loss, $50,000, fully
insured. The fire was caused by the
explosion of ‘an oil stove.
Pope’s Mfass In Throne Room.
Rome, March 26.—The pope’s mass in
the throne room of the Vatican today
was attended by 100 visitors, of whom
30 were American pilgrims, conducted
by Father Throop. After mass the pope,
seated in front of the altar, permitted
the pilgrims to kiss his foot, addressing
to each a few words.
Gunboat Trials Postponed.
Washington, March 26. —— Commodore
Dewey, president of the naval trial
board, telegraphed the navy department
from New London today that the board
had postponed the trial trips of the gun-
boats Wilmington and Helena which
were to have come off today until to-
morrow.
> Lesterlin’s Good \Vin.
Liverpool. March 26.—The Prince 01
Wales’ Plate of £700, a handicap for
3-year-olds and upward, was won by
Mr. Smithwick’s Lesterlin at the Liver-
pool spring meeting today. Mr. Ross’
Athel was second and Mr. D. Seymour’s
Suppliant third. Fifteen horses ran.
Greater New York Charter.
Albany, March 26.—The discussion of
the Greater New York charter was be—
gun on final passage in the senate and
the amnedments defeated yesterday by
the senate were again offered today,
but the bill passed without amendment.
‘Vorkman Crushed to Death.
Chicago, March 26.—By the fall of an
embankment a workman named C. O.
Erickson was crushed to death today at
the excavation where the old postoffice
formerly stood. Before his fellow work-
men could dig him out life was extinct.
