‘GAITERY AND" BACON IN IT.
One a Gold and the Other 3 Silver Dem-
ocrat—Bitter Words From Senator- ‘
Allen—Amendments Propos-
> ed by Senator Quay.
Washington, June 8.—In the senate
Mr. Quay (Pa.) presented several pro-
posed amendments to the tariff bill.
One of them proposes to strike out the
'duty on tea and substitute a duty of 10
per .cent ad valorem on all articles
proposed by the bill to be placed on the
’ free list, these duties to continue until
July 1, 1901, after which the articles
shall be exempt from duty. Another
amendment proposes a proviso to the,
paragraph fixing a duty on iron ore, so
that all iron ore from foreign mines
owned by American citizens and im-
ported for their own use and not for
sale shall be exempt from duty.
The consideration of the tariff bill
was resumed soon after the session
opened, and the discussion proceeded
on the paragraph placing a duty of $2
per 1,000 feet on lumber. Mr. Allen
(Pop., Neb.) moved to substitute the
provisions of the “‘ilson bill, which
placed lumber on the free list. The
senator spoke in particular against re-
storing white pine to the dutiable list,
urging that the rates were designed to
be prohibitory against Canadian pine.
Called It “Larceny."
There was nothing, he said, in the
“‘claptrap argument” of American high
wages, as the wages of lumbermen in
Canada. were on the whole higher than
in the United States. This was simply
an attempt to pay back to the lumber
syndicate the advance which it had pos-
sibly made less than a year ago.
Larceny, he .psaid, awas larceny,' no
matter under what name it was dis-
guised, and any law that permitted one
class of people ,to‘ take from another
class its‘ honest earnings was in the
eyes of every honest man nothing short
of absolute larceny—legalized larceny.
Mr. Allen referred to the various inter-
ested elements clamoring like jackals
for the benefits to be conferred by this
bill. -
Mr. Berry (Ark.) spoke against re—
storing the duty on white pine. He
had been appealed to by the lumber
interests of his own state to support
the duty, but he could not do it when
it laid such heavy tribute on the agri-
cultural people of the western states.
M-r. Berry expressed his astonishment
that any Democratic senator would
support this restoration of duty on
lumbef. ,
Mr. Bacon (Ga.) in supporting the
lumber duty reminded Mr. Berry that
his (Bacon's) support was due to
the fact that the duty was a revenue
rather than a protective rate.
Mr. Berry responded with a vehement
arraignment of the bill, framed, he
said, in the interests of every trust
and Combination in the country. When
he saw in the bill that it gave large in-
crease of duty to the Sugar trust and
was framed distinctly on the lines of
protection and not of revenue,
Mr. Caffery (La.) opposed the duty
on white pine and incidentally criticised
the position of Mr. Bacon (Ga.), who,
he said, favored a protective duty. This
the senator from Georgia denied.
Repudiates His State Representatives.
Mr. Caffery announced his opposition
to all protective duties. He favored the
imposition of pure revenue duties. He
said the supply of pine in this country
was inexhaustible and repudiated the
"reputed” representatives of lumber in-
terests of his state who went before the
ways and means committee and asked
a duty of $2. '
find a single basis for this duty on lum-
ber so far as the southern timber in-
terests were concerned. Either this duty
must be justified on the theory of pro-
tection or it could not be justified at
all. He could not understand how Mr.
Bacon could defend the duty as a reve-
nue duty.
.“The platform I stand on," interposed
Mr. Bacon, “the orthodoxy. of which the
senator from Louisiana may not 'sub-
scribe to (Mr. Caffery supported the
Indianapolis gold ticket) warrants my
position. ,The Chicago platform said,
‘We favor a tariff for revenue with du~
ties so adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country and not dis-
criminate as to class or section.’
"It is that plank in the platform upon
which I stand,” said Mr. Bacon.
Bailey Back In His Seat. I
Mr. Bailey (Dem., Tex.), the minority
leader, was in his seat when the house
met, for ‘tl'ie..‘first time in a fortnight.
When Mr." ' 'osvenor ~(Ohio) moved an
adjournme . ~Mr. Bailey said: “As
long as'the-{Cuban resolution and the
bankruptcy bill are undisposed of we
feel constrained to resist these motions
to adjourn.” After the usual parlia-
mentary fight, the speaker announced
the house adjourned until Thursday.

10f Norwalk’s. Needs. I
And Remarkable Proofs that
the National Disease
Long Considered
.Incurable.
, ".gz‘
Can be Cured and Has Been‘Cured
Right Here in Norwalk.
Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives at
'7 water street, N orwalk, says: “ I have
been troubled with cataarh in my head
and throat for some time. My Whole
head was stuffed up; the passages of my
head and throat would at times become
so filled with mucous that I could not
talk, and altogether it was very annoy-
ing. I also suffered a great deal of the
time with headaches. I got a bottle of
California Cataarh Cure at. Plaisted’sx
drug Store in South Norwalk, and I
it is the grandest stud in the world. It
has, cured me of all the disagreeable
suffering I have had for so long; my
throat troubles me no more, and
haven’t had a headache for weeks. I
have recommended it to several friends
who have used it with satisfactory re-
sults, and we all unite in saying it is a
wonderful medicine. ”
California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for treatment of the mucous
membrane. It allays the inflamation,
checks the disease and arrests and re—
pairs the decay of this delicate lining.
It is a curative agent for colds, coughs
hay fever, bronchitis, asthma, and all
purely mucous affections. Use it dur-
ing and after a cold, and you will never
have a. cold “hang on,” or even reach
the catarrhal stage. When catarrh is
once firmly fixed in the nasal passages
and throat, it begins to attack the
mucous membrane of the passages lead-
ing either to the lungs or to the stom-
ach. The result of the former course
is ultimately consumption, of the latter
what is commonly called some form of
indigestion or dispepsia. It is catarrh
of the stomach, intestines, kidneys, and
various internal passages. California.
Catarrh Cure will prevent and cure all
forms of catarrh, whatever the part af-
fected, and even will check incipient
consumption. It is sold by all dealers;
500ents, three times as much, one dollar.
No Bunk Run In Dover.
Dover," Del., June 8.—-The First Na-
tional bank opened as usual, prepared
to meet a run, but‘the run did not oc-
cur. The Farmers’ bank here has
pledged assistance, as has also the Na-
tional bank of Philadelp ia. Sheriff
Shaw issued execution ag inst former
sureties of William N. Boggs, the de-
faulting paying teller. Boggs’ defalca-
tion will exceed $100,000. The directors
have since Saturday deposited over
$150,000 as an evidence of their faith in
the institution. President H. A. Rich-
ardson announced that he would back.
the bank to his last dollar. Of the de-
falcation it is probable that at least
half will have to come out of the bank’s
capital, which is $100,000.
An Infant’s Remarkable Escape.
Lyons, N. Y., June 8.—Mrs. Saxon G.
to every other combination of capita, ‘ Palmeter, while calling upon Mrs. N. D.
this satisfied him that the measure ; Hatch, left her 18-months-old daughter,
Marguerite, in a perambulator on the
street. A gust of wind blew the carriage
down the decline into the Erie canal.
The child was thrown out, but its cloth-
ing spread out on the water, and the
child floated. Mrs. Palmeter rushed
down and jumped into the canal and
would have dri'n'ned had not Michael
Henry, Jr., and Edward Roberts, two
schoolboys, jumped in and rescued her.
The infant was also rescued, none the
worse for the accident.
“’illlams, Like Barkis, Is “'illing.
New York; June 8.—On the steamer
Saratoga, from Havana, was Ramon O.
TVilliams. formerly United States consul
general at Havana. General Williams
was told that a cablegram had been
sent to him at Tampico, offering the
Spanish mission. He said he had not
heard of it. W'hen asked if he would
accept, he said he would wait until he
received the tender of the mission.
“However,” said he, “I am at my coun-
try's service, should any demand be
made."
Shot by J. Breckinridge Payne.
Lexington, Ky., June 8.—J. Breckin-
ridge Payne, descendant of the best
families of Kentucky, shot Percy Stack-
house, a driver and trainer of trotting
horses, inflicting perhaps a fatal wound.
Payne is reduced in circumstances and
was living at the Stackhouse home. A
quarrel over a slight matter brought on
a collision, in which Payne used his re-
volver. He has been held for trial and,
it is said, will be defended by his kins-
man, W. C. .P. Breckinridge.
