A feature of the forenoon is the reported withdrawal of all candidates for speaker, with the ex- ception of Hysell. This has given in- creased life to the Brice boom for the Senate.

Mr. Shepherd, a wool grower of Texas, was the next witness, He said that the subject assigned to him by the president of the Na- tional wool growing association was the ability of the United States to raise all the carpet wool consumed in this country and he proceeded to read paper to prove that with a sufficient protection it could be done. He gave figures toshow that in Texas it cost from 15 to 18 cents a pound to produce fine wool and that it cannot be laid down in Boston at lese than 19 cents » pound, while the Australian wool could be laid down there (if there was no duty on it) at 6 cents a pound. MR, CARLISLE AND THE TEXAS WOOL GROWER. Mr. Carlisle—How many sheep have you? The witness—Abont 18,000. Mr. Carlisle—How much land do you use? ‘The witness—80,000 acres. Mr. Carlisle—What is that land worth per acre. The witness—The government land is worth 2 Fae? acre, ir. Carlisle—How many acres are required for the support of one sheep? The witness—Abont 5 acres, Mr. Carlisle—You have set out quite a nam- ber of advantages which your part of the coun- try possesses for the production of carpet wool, and yet you say that, notwithstanding these advantages,vou cannot produce it without ade- quate protection. What rate of duty do you consider adequate protection? The witness—Enough to raise the price of carpet wool to the price of fine wool. r. Curlisle—Itis your idea that the govern- ment should impose a duty that would enable you to have as much profit on carpet wool as on fine wool? The witness—I would like the safhe duty on every pound of wool, A ee Carlisle—What do you mean by the same uty’ The witness—I mean that one class of wool should pay the same duty as another class, Mr. Carlisle—You have not told us the rate of duty you require, ‘The witness—I leave that to the better judg- ment of the commiutee, Mr. Carlisle—What is your own opinion? The witness—I would have the same duty on all wool—say 10 cents a pound. Mr. Carlisle—You think that it ought to be 10 cents a pound on all wool? The witness—I do, WHAT EFFECT THE MILLS BILL WOULD HAVE HAD. Mr. Gear—What would have been the effect on the wool growing business in Texas if the Mills bill had gone into effect? The witness—We would all have gone out of business, 1 reckon. Mr. Mills put a series of questions designed to make the witness admit that the 10 cents a pound duty on wool was for the protection of capital, not of labor—which was being robbed (he suid) to that extent. 4 DEMOCRAT IN ALL BUT FREE TRADE. The witness replied (with much warmth) that he would like to rob, not the poor man but the rich man, such as Congressmen and Senators who were robbing the sheep raisers by not giving them their dues. He declared | that he was « democrat—all but free trade. He | could not stand that. He had voted for Presi- dent Cleveland the first time and would have voted for him the second time if he had uot sought to sluughter sheep raisera for the sake of free trade. | _Mr. Breckinridge—You are a revenue demo- | erat? ‘The witness—I do not know what you may callme, I have not the lunguage to express it, Mr. Bayne—Are the farmers and wool-grow- ers of ‘Texas generally in tavor of protection? ‘The witness—I cannot speak for the farmers, I know that the wool growers are. Mr. Barne—Without regard to party? The witness—We are going to drop the ques- tion of party, The chairman—You must be very discrimi- nating in regard to members, There are some members from Texas whom we want left with us, (Laughter.} PROHIBITION OR FREE WHISKY. Mr. Mills—Did not you try alittle of that philosophy last campaign? ‘The witness—Not as much asI wish we had done, There was another feature in that cam- paign—prohibition—which elected some gen- | temen, | Mr. Breckinridge—Is the democracy of Texas strongly of prohibition? The ucx8—No, sir. 1 am sorry to say that the democracy of Texas is in favor of free whisky. (Laughter.] I am a prohibitionist myself. We did not try to centralize the wool | interest in the last campaign, but the next time we will try. LEGISLATION WOOL GROWERS NEED, After some remarks by Mr. Walsh of Mis- souri Hon, Wm. Lawrence of Ohio read a statement, He said that he was one of a committee ap- pointed by the National wool growers’ ussocia- tion at its receut convention in Washington to make some remarks ns to the legislation which wool growers generally believed was required by sound public policy and justice. It was his duty (he said) to address the committee on two subjects—the first being the proper duty on carpet wool and the second being the provisions of law necessary to secure ap onest administration of the tariff lawa, It was safe to say that wool growers generally believed that a sound policy required the imposition of such a duty on socalled carpet wool as would, in due time, enable American wool growers to produce all the carpet wool required for consumption in the United States shutting out foreign importations and giving to the American wool growers the privilege of supplying all the carpet wool required for con- sumption here, Either the protective policy should be abandoned and the policy of tree trade adupted or else the protective policy should be made effectual so as to give THE WHOLE AMERICAN MARKET TO HOME PRO- DUCERS. Mr. McMillin—What would we then do for revenue? Would you levy additional taxes? ‘The witness—I would give to the American producer the privilege of supplying everything that can be supplied in sufficient quantities to meet all demands, at reasonable prices. If we cannot derive cient revenue from customs, we have the whisky tax, the tobacco tax and other internal revenue taxes to the amount of $10,000,000 a year. Mr. Carlisle—Are you not in favor of taking the tax off tobacco? ‘The witness—Yes, Mr. Carlisle—And off alcohol used in the arts? The witness—Yes. Mr. Carlisle—Then would you puta duty on tea and coffee? ‘The witness—No, sir, I am in favor of ad- mitting without duty such articles as cannot be produced in the United States, suGaR, Mr, Carlisle—Are you in favor of taking the duty off sugar? ‘The witness—Sugar does not fall within the policy of a protective tariff for the reason that for more than twenty years, with protection, the sugar industry has not been developed to supply more than 10 per cent of the consumption of the country. Wecan develop the wool in- dustry so as to supply ali the wool we want. Mr. Carlisle—We have not done so in one hundred years, Would you take the duty off sugar because we cannot produce enough to supply the wants of the country? e witness—I would take the duty off sugar so far as it is imposed for merely protective purposes, But I would have a reserve duty on every foreign commodity that we cannot pro- duce sufficiently to supply the wants of the United States, ‘TEA AND COFFEE. Mr. Carlisle—Then you would put s duty on tea and coffee because we do not produce either of them? Tho witness—As to what would be a wise revenue system I submit that that is a subject which has not been assigned to me to discuss, If were driven to the necessity of putting a] W. duty on tea and coffee I would, of course, re- | ductor. sort to it, Mr. Carlisle—Would not that the result of your policy? The witneas—If necessary to sa) tective system I would tax whisk; we the pro- taiog t A” centen a but $1.50 a the extent to which the law could be enforced. The chairman—Is it not one of the com- plaints against the protective system that we «re raising too much revenue? The witness—Yes; and all the efforts of the iast administration and of the present one have aot yet been able to get rid of the surplus. committee here took a recess for half an wour, be inevitably AFTER THE RECESS duties which he has been instructed by the National wool growers’ association to ask to have inserted in the bill were = said) not ‘at all prohibitory and only to a ited extent ive.

Pacndicins to wtocamaioliy DID HE COLLECT FOR BOTH? Jobn J. Verser Charged With Violating the Civil Service Law. Among the cases which have been made up here for violation of the civil service law is that of John J. Verser, who, if the charges are true, issued circulars from the government printing office calling for political contributions, The law expressly forbids any one in government em- ploy from receiving directly or indirectly money for political purposes, WHAT COMMISSIONRE LYMAN BATS, Commissioner Lyman when seen by a Stan reporter today knew very little about the mat- ter. “I have heard, of the case,” he remarked, ‘and it is peculiar from the circumstances that Mr. Verser seems to have been a campaign collector for both parties. Two years ago he gathered in the collections for the New York democratic club of this city and on the last campaign he is charged with issuing circulars and raising funds for the Old Dominion republican club, I know nothing, however, of any action.” ———__ AN EPIDEMIC OF SNEEZING. Premonitory Symptoms of La Grippe Appearing in the Departments. Hundred of sneezes heard in the Treasury department today are regarded as the sure precursors of “la grippa” Up to the present time the supreme au- thorities at the Treasury are not officially aware of the existence in their midst of the “fluenza, but the indications are favorable to a development of it within the next two or three days.

Mr. Guerduin complained to the Commissioners, and said he would look to them for the damage done to his tree which he placed at $50, As has beeu here- tofore printed, Attorney Riddle decided that the enzineer who did the work should be made to pay for it, Such a decision as this, if cor- rect, would cause the District an immense amount of trouble, as it would be simply im- possible for them to run a line across private property without the owner's consent. Capt. Kossell today referred the matter to Major Raymond, with the recommendation that it be submitted to Attorney Haze.ton for an opinion as to whether ths District Commis- siouers had a right to issue orders to yo over private property for the purpose of securing lines for certain streets, BIDS FOR BUILDING SEWERS.

After the court had disposed of the grave robbing case the arguments in the case of Maher, the young mechanic charged with stealing & wrench from the navy yard, were heard and Judge Miller in summing up said he had never had a case of just this sort and it troubled him greatly. He did not really wish to hold the man, but from the authorities there seemed no other course but to hold the defend- ant for the grand jury. Fell From the Roof. About 10 o'clock this morning John Merritt, nineteen years old, a tinner, while at work on a new building at Tenleytown fell fromthe second story and was badly injured. He was removed to Providence hospital in the 7th precinct pa- trol wagon and was attended by Dr. Gilpin. wigivaiisit Cowboys in Court, The two cowboys, John Pollard and Braxton Edgmont, sentenced in August last by the U.S, court at Fort Smith for horse stealing and as- sault, appeared in the Criminal Court today on the charge of assault with intent to kill Rich- ard E.

It is alleged that on the day in question one put a fork in his pocket and the other a piece of pipe, and when Mr. Dinsmore demanded that they give them up they attacked him. ‘he boys acknowledged that they were sen- tenced from Ft, Smith, one for cutti a boy and the other for stealing a horse, they intended to make their escape. Pollard said he was rounding up stock when a boy drew a pistol and threatened to shoot him and he knocked the pistol away and cut him with an old knife, Mr. Leroy Wilson appeared for the prisoners and claimed that they could not be held for intent to kill and that the wounds on the boys showed that the affair was hardly ore jut} bi ht in dict “Guilt jury brougl & verdict “ sault,” and a sentence of eight Exton Fa jal was imposed. ——>___ Officers Elected, At the last regular meeting of the Improved Order of Heptasophs (1.0.H.) the following officers were slected for the ensuing term (one year), and will be installed January 11, 1890: 'm.
