‘ITS DUTIES TOO HIGH. Even the Republicans Protest Against the Dingley Bill. Say It is Over-Protection.—New England Members Call It Too Much of a Good Thing. Washington, D. C., March 29.— Even the republicans in Congress protest that the rater in the Dingley bill are too high. Two members from Massachusetts, Mr. McCall and Lovering, declared that the manu- facturers of their State did not want to be “smothered with protection,” and asserted that the measure was too much of a good thing. It was by far the most sensational session the House has witnessed since the tariff debate began. The proceedings throughout were of a lively order, and several times bor- dered on the sensational. The demo- crata blocked proceedings in the first instance by demanding the presence of a quorum before allowing any legislative work. Mr. Richardson offered dilatory motions, but finally withdrew them, saying: “Let the other side work out its own puzzle.” “There is no puzzle,” remarked the speaker, ‘except the indolence of members.” “We have as many present on this side as the majority has,” observed Mr. Richardson. At this point Mr. Dingley moved the approval of the journal, and after an hour and twelve minutes delay it was so ordered,222 to 1. On resump- tion of consideraton of the tariff bill, Mr. Dingley announced that the ways and means committee had sev- eral amendments to offer. The first increased the rate on gelatine and glue valued at not above 10 cents per peund from 2 to 2} cents. The sec ond placed a duty of $1 per ton of bauxite not refined. Mr. Dockery called attention toa novel proposition in connection with protection. Heretofore, he said, pro tection was accorded to equalize labor conditions, now for the first time it was proposed to equalize freicht rates. Mr. Dalzell denied that any new doctrine was involved in according protection to bauxite. Labor was at the base of freight rates, and the theory of protection was now and always had been to equalize labor Deacon Bros, & Co. Hardware and Cutlery, Blacksmiths supplies, Iron, Steel.

The storm came from the southwest and swept| jacross the town, leaving scarcely aj building of any importance stand ing. Everything in the town was a mass of ruins in a few momente. The groans and cries of the wounded and shrieks for help could be heard even before the storm's roar had died away. Tonight twerty-six dead bodies have been recovered from the ruins. How many more are buried under the debris only a more careful search will reves!. From the number who are missing it is feared that last night’s estimate, forty-five, was not| exaggerated. MUTILATED COINS. The New on the Subject is Straight. Washington, D. C., March 26.— Letters by the bushel have been pouring in on the treasury depart- ment, asking for information con: | cerning the new law in relation to the passing of mutilated coin; al- though those seeking tha infcrma- tion might, ina majority of cases, have secured it from the United States District Attorney or secret service officers of their respective localities.

It provides that the passage | awful holocaust was in progress, many of those injured and buried in the ruins being burned to death. Fire broke out first in the ruins of the New York store and Lincoln county bank and spread to many other buildings, making it necessary to fight the flames as well as rescue the injured. In addition to the peo ple burned to death, a large number of the injured are badly burned and suffering intensely. Between the fire, the wind and the rain, the provisions, medicine, cloth ing, etc. in the stores were all de- stroyed, or so kadly damaged as to be worthless, and unless new sup plies arrive there will be much suffering even among tkoze who have money. The storm broke upon the city suddenly. The sky was clear an hour before. The clouds started southeast and then whirled north. It soon deyeloped into a funnel-shaped mass- It touched the ground and tore up trees like twigs. The roar was deaf ening. A cloudburst preceded it.

The law also drives out of existence a number of people who have made a good liv'nz by purchas ing mutilated coins at a reduction from their face value and plugging up the holes eo skillfully that the original mutilation could not be dis- covered. Even this kind of tamper- ing with the money of the govern- ment will be regarded a3 an offense under the s'‘atute. Hanna’s Health. Washington, D.

Mr. McCa:l was the first republi- can to slap the bill in the face. He boldly expressed the opinion that the duties in the bill were too high. He especially mentioned wool. The democrats forthwith became very much interested: “Are the duties on woolens manu- factured in New England too high?” asked Mr. Hopkins (rep.) of Illinois. Mr. McCall at first evaded a direct reply; “but I do not hesitate to say,” he continued, “that I think the duties in this bill are higher than necessary for the just purpose of protection.” “But about woolens,” interposed Mr. Hopkins, “I insist upon an an- swer to my question.” “The duties in this bill are too high,” reiterated Mr. McCall. Then, turning defiantly to Mr. Hopkins, he continued: “To reply categorically to your questions, I do not hesitate to say I think these duties could be reduced without detriment either to the wool grower or the wool manu- facturer.” Soon after Mr. Lovering (rep.) of Massachusetts, a large manufacturer, followed Mr. McCall’s lead and again aroused the plaudits of the opposi- tion by declaring that manufacturers ot New England did not want the duties in the cotton and woolen schedules in the bill, neither the compensatory nor the straight duties. “We want a tariff law that will liye and stand,” eaid he. “We do was a surprise to the older mem- bers of that body. no matter of wondement to bis proud constituents who have seen and accomplished orator tested on many a hustings and proven in many afcrensic battle.
