MixxEsroLis, Minn., Dec. 19.—The trial of Tim and Peter Barrett, charged with the murder of Street Car Driver Toliefson, be- gan in the district court to-day. Pete, it will be remembered, was captured in Omaha recently, The staté is ready with its evi- dence, and the trial will be one of the most sensational in the northwest. The corres- vondent was to-day permitted to see the evi- dence that will be brought out by the prose- cution, but is not at liberty to make all of it THE COLD WATER PLATFORM.

It will be shown that the brothers worked side by side in some of tho most sensational robberies of the footpad order ever committed in Minneapolis. On the night of July 23, G. A. Chamberlain, of the Hennepin county bank, was “held up” while going from the Fourth street car-barn to his home at the cor- ner of Twenty-feurth streetand Park avenue. He had an exciting encounter with the men. Several shots were exchanged. Chamber- Inin lost his hat and revolver in the melee, but captured a revolver from one of the rob- bers and his hat. It will be shown at_this trial that Peter and Tim Barrett were Cham- It will be also’ shown ht Petér held his revolver to Chamberliin’s buck and snapped it twice. For some reason it fuiled to go off. A witness will testify that both Peter and Tim confessea this fact in_ his presencs. - Peter and Tim both lost their revolvers. They, however, sccured one from Chamberlain, Which Tim took. as well #%.a UM iat worn by Chamber- nin. On this samé night Tim aund Peter “‘held up” two othey victims. One wga a member of the Pioneer Fuel company ding i1 South Mimneapolis.

Pater took the gold watch as his shave of tho night's booty, and Tim the silver chronometer and the ¢ Both wore the watches about town open Tim was not fully satisficd with the div claiming that the gold watch taken by P was worth very much more than all the of the plunder secured. The night that T lefson was murdered Tim took all the money secured fron the dead driver {o “even things up.” A fow days later an attempt was made to murder the telegraph operator at Minnchaha Falls, It will b shown in the trial that Tim fired ashot through the station window. Tim was waiting outside for the operator to close up and o home, so that he could go in and rifle the till. The operator remained very much later that night thati usual. This angered Tim. He becane so_ impatient that, he said afterward, “T got. wild and wade up my wind to shoot the —— in_ order to get vid of him." Luckily for the operator Tim's aim was poor. "The sensation of the trinl will be intro. duced to_show that Tim deliberately laid plans to murde man in cold blood on the v night he was ar Hankinson.

Agreed to. Mr. Pugh offered a resolution sctting. forth that the most important duty of the present session is to revise and amend the existing internal revenue taxes and the tariff laws so as to reduce the annual revenues therefrom to the necessary wants of-the federal govern- ant and no more than it needs to pay its tured debts and discha its obligations without crippling or deranging any Ameri- can industries connected with the subjects of tariff taxation or interfering with the just . an working people, intended e secured to them by the incidental ef- ts of the revenue duties, Tt is declared that they should share in the joint product of their labor and the capital’ employed in American minipg and manufacturing indus- tries to the full measure of the difference in the cost of their labor and similar laber in Europe. The resolution further provides that the senat urin no joint resolution for final adjournment at the present session until after the passage of such remedial laws. In the course of hi: ument Mr. Pugh asked whether congress would wipe ont all internal revenue taxes and allow the n sary revenue to remain on tariff imports alone. He had never a cleares strongor conviction than the conviction that the whisky tax was perfectly just and wholly unobjéctionable except on’ the ground that it was a divect tax. Thore was nothing pr vned and consumed, that could the government with 10,000,000 of nue, with more propricty and. less i jury to any human bei hau whisk He had never heard any valid reason, and did not: believe there was any valid reason why whisky drinkers should be ed from the payment of this tax, and why the revenue which it yielded should be extorted by a tariff from the consumers of the necessaries of 1lif He knew of no better uso to which whisky could bo applied than the production of the §50,000,000 of revenue necessary to puy pensions and the intorest of the war cebt, instead of extorting that amount from the harmless sonsumption of imported articles. As a gen- eral compromise he would repeal the internal revenue tax on tobaceo, the sole reason that tobacco was an _agricultural product. and let the tax on whisky stand for future consideration. He ¢ od he would vote for no duty on any article anufuctured in the United States that would cripple any howe industry or impair the ability of home competition, This e a3 could not adjourn until such change was made in the revenue taxes as would stop the flow of money from the people into the national treasury beyond the needs of government. He would put on the frec list chemicals and raw wool of all low grade and alt, and might be willin to add other articles to the free list. A8 to pig iron, he believed a duty of & ton would be ample.
