Senator Platt has proved himself to be one of the most etalwart of high protection- iste, but the cold, calculating New England mind sees the danger to his party and sounds a note of warning. To drive the warning home the dig- nified Tribune, which has never in- dulged in typographical gymnastics, prints the interview in black type on its first page. The Tribune has nev- er faltered in its advocacy of protec- tion, but here is the interview whieh Senator Platt dictated and the Trib- une conspicuously display: “I am a protectionist and have been so much so that I have been call- eda partisan 1 am as strong a pro- tectionist now as ever, but 1 believe that proper and reasonable tariff concessions can be made on Cuban products in return for Cuban tariff concessions on American products, which would greatly benefit the trade of both countries and not appreci- ably injure any American industry. I think the cause of protection is be- ing wounded now in the house of its professed friends, and that the free tradercannot injure the cause of pro- tection as much as p ionists WHO TSISt pon unnecessary customs duties, The warning Senator Platt sounds means that unless the protectionists heed the wishes of the people and ceme to the relief of Cuba, either a Congress will be elected which will topple the protective policy over- board or that Republicans from the agricultural districts. whe-amstcome up for re-election in the fall, will, ina desperate effort to: placate their con- stituents, make an onslaught on the tariff schedules: which are supposed to befounded on what the trusts have built, Furs and Wool.

Clarksville, Ark., February 5.— Robbers at 2:30 o'clock this morning blew up the safe of the bank of Clarksville with dynamite, secured a sum estimated at $1,500 in silver and killed John H. Powers, the sheriff of Johnson county, who attempted to capture them. They escaped be- fore the citizens were aware of their presence. The tragedy has stirred the people up to a high pitch of ex- citement, Sheriff Powers had apartments on the second floor of the building ad- joining the bank. He wasawakened by a loud explosion and went down- stairs to investigate. As he reached the street he was fired upon by the. robbers, who had sentries on guard while they were engaged in looting the bank. The intrepid officer re turned the fire with the tworevolvers he had brought with him, and had fired seven shots before his wounds made him so weak that he couid no longer pull the trigger, and the ban dits had made good their escape Hethen;insome manner, staggered up to his room and fell across the threshold. He lived about thirty minutes alter he was shot. His room-mates, Jesse and Hartsell Rheon, assisted him upon the bed af- ter he fell. The bank building is completely wrecked by the explosion, which was most terrific, The safe contained about $6,000, The robbers secured about $1,500 in silver and the bal- ance of the money was badly muti- lated. There is no clew to theidenti- ty of the robbers, and it is supposed they left on one of the freight trains running both ways at the time. There were several suspicions persons seen in the city yesterday afternoon, and it is supposed that they are the guilty parties. There appears to have been from four to six men in the gang. They sied-their Horses in the outskirts of the town and made their way unob- served to the bank, which is situated on thienorth side of the public square. Riot Follows Revival. _Carthage, Mo, February 6 os: Sidney Motley, an evangelist, who has been holding revivals in the southeastern part of this county and in the northeastern part of Newton county the past three months, creat: eda good deal of excitement that culminated in a riot by expressing, it is said,: the belief that there is no scriptural justification for the Eman- uetchurch, the church in which he was then preaching, eight miles south- east of here, The reverend gentle man followed up his assertion, it is alleged, by ridiculing the membership of the church, This is said to have aroused the ire of the Pennsylvania Duteh of that neighborhood, and they summarily ejected him from the church and closed the doors, In the hand-to-hand contest: that followed several persous were knocked down, and a number of knives and pistols were drawn, amid the sereams of the women and cries of the children. The evangelist got a number of his con- verts together and adjourned to Pine schoolhouse, three miles away. Saved By Reifforcements. Vietoria, B.C, Neb. 5.—Manila pa- pers received by the steampship Em- press of China have particulars ef the recent attack by bolemen on a com pany of the Ninth infantry in Samar, which resulted in the death of seven ofthe eighteen attacking and wound- ing of eight others, five seriously. - A detachment of Company E was struggling through the thicket near Dapdad, Pueblo, when a large band of bolemen rushed upon them. A bloody hand to-hand combat ensued. The detachmont—ehrbbedheit tiftes; aud, standing back to baek, they swung them at the heads of the ene ann eer teed tite iten bring their rifles into the play, and the bolemen gradually fellaway, leav- ing the small force of Americans with but four of them unwounded. The bolemen lost heavily. A detachment of native soldie: tracted by the sound of the firing, hurried to the scene, but arrived too late to take part in the combat, It is believed the unexpected arrival of the reinforcements caused the bole- men to retreat, thereby saving the detachment from annhilation. As the Revised Creed Will Be. Philadelphia, Feb. 6.—The Rev. William H. Roberts, the stated clerk of the last general assembly,—who-is- au member of the general committee, gave out the following statement at ‘conclusion of the afterneon- sion of the Presbyterian revision comunittee: “The committee has decided tenta- tively to revise the doctrine of the thirdjchapter of the Confession by declaratory statement, also chapter "| 10, section 3, on the salvation of all infants; also chapter 16, section 7, on goodgworks. The other parts, chapter 21, section 3 on oaths, and chapter 25, section 6, by revision of the text. They appointed subcom- mittees to prepare a final form. To- morrow they will consider the brief statement of doctrine for popular cured the money and made their way fronted by Sheriff Powers, who open- ed fire upon them. The robbers re- turned it, using both revolvers and Winchesters. Powers stood ground and emptied two revolvers before he was killed. although it is believed he was mortally wounded by the first volley from the robbers. When citizens arrived on the scene a little later, Powers was dead in his room and there was no trace of the robbers except a trail of blood that indicated that the sheriff had wound- ed one or perhaps more of his assail- ants.

Sears, a traveling man, said to a Mexico Intelligencer repre- sentative Friday morning of last week: “T never saw anything like the ex- citement at Montgomery City, Mo. It seems that the people—some of themi—are going crazy over options and they are being ruined, It was told that between $135,000 and $150,000 have been taken out of the county recently through the bucket shops. There are now two bucket shops in Moatgomery City; one isn’t enough.

Illinois Wife-Murderer Given Seven- | teen Years 10 Penitentiary. | | Bloomington, Ill., Feb. 5.—Deduct- jing seven years and three months for good behavior, the time to be served by Merritt Chism, convicted wife- murderer of McLean county, will be but nine years and ninemonths. The verdict brought in this morning fix- ing the punishment at seventeen years in the penitentiary created general surprise. It had been gen- erally supposed that the jury would hang on the question of capital pun- ishment oralong term in the peni- tentiary. It developed that the jurymen fa- voring a mild punishment were in majority and had their way. The insanity theory was rejected at the outset, which isa crumb of comfort to-the--prosecution, which” fought this plea with earnestness. The jury- men were unanimous that Chism was in his right mind when he killed his wife, but they looked upon the alleg- ed disposition of the woman as offer- ing some mitigating circumstances, partially justifying his treatment. The further fact that Chism would not long survive the penitentiary, he being 55, and not in good health, was also considered.
