Qu-stions Which Will Be Settled by a' Decision in the Tariff Cases. Wasninaroy, D. C,, Dec. 2.—The hearing of the three cases involving the constitu- tiouality of the McKimey tariff act was closed in the United States court today with a very brief argument by Stephen G. Clark of New York, who was unable to conclude his remarks yesterday. Solicitor General ‘Taft then opened for the goverument. The case was brought here by the United States on appeal from a decision in the cir- cuit court of the United States for the south- ern district of New York in favor of Ballin, Joseph & Co. This case irvolves the validity of the Dingley worsted act. The pointof most public interest in connection with the case is that the question of ‘Mo quorum’ is HE.

The McCarthyites had been holding a con- vention at Limerick, and among the promi- nent, speakers present woro Mr. William O'Brien and Mr. John Dillon. After the business of the convention had been con- cluded a largo number of thoso present escorted Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien to the station. A large crowd of Parunellites had gatherod at the station with tho intention of insulting the two McCarthyite leaders, When Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien arrived at the station they were greeted with hoots and vells and many Opprobrious epithets wero burled at them, “The McCarthyites who had accompanied Messrs, Dillon” and O'Brien were naturally highly indiguant av_ the treatment, Most of them~ carried heavy walking sticks, and be- from voting. The brief of the solicitor general's argu- ment was printed last weak. His position is toat the house had the power to make the rule under which the biil was passed, and that the question of the wisdom ot the rule is one with which tho court has nothing to o, the remedy being in the house itself, and ultimately in the people who eleot the repre- sentatives. Edwin R. Smith of New York argued the importers’ side of the case, maintaining that on a yes and nay voto 1L Was pecessary to shows the man’s presence by Lis action snd by some constitutional requirement, and that there was no warrant for ko clerk declaring him present. 1 Justice Brewer said the'polnt seemed to be that it was necessary thut' a mran should be heard and not seen, and #sked how it would be if @ man answered by telephone to a roll call.

The latter resisted as best they could, and for a time the scrim- mage wax & mighty lively one. Mauny of tho Parnellites were hurt, and several were so badly injured that it was found necessary to remove them to the hospital to have their wounds attended to. Attoraney Goneral Miller closed the case with a orief argument In favor of the gov- ernment’s contention. ASURY.

Sir Charles Russell put many questions to the witness regarding the relations between the ' earl and 1 rts, but witness would not contradict herself. Shealso repeated statoments con- cerning information furnished her by the dowagor countoss Russell, Lady Agatba® Russell, and Hon. Hollo Russell, saying those persons «id not say anythin Loberts, but told hor things about the eurl's past life that mado her think bhim eapable of the offense sugrrestod dson took the stand, and countoss suffered from spasmodtic dvsmen a disenso often accompuniced by The countess was, howover, strong minded woman and the troublo was not likely to cause hysteria in her case, Bliza Vale, the maid who found the countess in a faint on the tloor, testified that she had heard the couatess pleading with tho earl. Aftorwards witness found her mistress lying naked on the floor. With thie presentation of this testimony the evidence for the countess closed. The audience craned their necks in their endeavors to see Sic Charles Russeli as he arose to present the case for Earl Russell Gireat interest was manitestod to hear this celevrated lawyer defend his client from the cnarges b Sir Charles, in substance, said the sole ob- jeet of the prosont suit was'to force a pay- ment of alimony by tho earl. Referring to the Roverts mcident, he said the countess, through veiled and obscure i.- nuendo, simply desired 1o wound her hus band. She was afraid to strike openly “Why,” Sir Charles asked, “had the other side not made that serions allegation bonestly, straightforwardly aud directiy? Unless the suggestion in conncction with Roborts was meant to be_ treated as a grave chiarge, considercd and dealt with, a groater act of cruelty could not have been performed than in bringing it forward.” Sir Charles then proceeded to vebut the charges of cruelty. Heo asked the jury not to be carried away by a clever and engaging woman telling thiem a story that was untrue in all its essential detnils—a woman so p verted as to put forward the Roberts inci dent in order to support her hopeless cuse by odious imputations, At this point court adjourned. A mob surrounded the law courts at the closo of the day’s proceedings in the case, and s the carl left ho was booted at and at- tempts were made to strike him. The police endeavored to protect him, but the crowd overpowered them and the carl was obliged to scok refuge in tho Templo. Being still fol- lowed, however, he jumped intoa cap and suceeeded in gotting away, among the jeers and hisses of the mob. saud the CALLING THEM TO ACCOUNT.

Fifty-ono years ago | today o New England youth, kuown as Cyrus West Fleld, stood at the murriage altar full of vigor, and sturdy ambition, His its impress upon the ceutury; his hope bore him up in his work and s am- vition has been rewarded with meduals, with knightbood and with the thanks of the United States congress, Hand in hand the New England youth and his helpful wife came honorably down through halt a century of time, almost to the present day. A little more than one week ago, however, the woman e wedded on the day of his majovity left him. Heor path, for tho first time in all these years, parted from his, and the wife went away from bis side along the roadway which leads into the hope strength mac boyond. Tonight, bereft of wifo and wreeied - fortune, and pennless by the hand of an igrato and disgraced <on, Cyrus W. [ield lies dying at 72 years of agoin the haudsome Lome that no longer shall bo his.

Death Woula Be Welcome. This expresses ina few words the pitiful condition of a faunly which o fow days ago was envied for its woalth, happiness and social eminence. And the fact that today is the fifty-first anniversary of Cyrus W. Pield's murriage adds a new saduess to the slory of the day. A ‘member of the Field family tonight came from the bedsido of Cyrus W. Pield ana said: “He is completely broken in health and spirit. I'he unfortunate old man feels that death would be a welcomesolaco to him, He has no desire to live. He feels that his namo has been tarnished. notwithstanding the fact that ho has sacrificed bis all in order to keop his son from bankruptoy.” A littlo lator D Fuiler, the family physi- cian, said: “He may linger fora fow days and lic may dic in o fow hours. Ho has re- ceived so muny shocks during tho past few days that the least additional excitement is likely to result in dissolution.” “I'am sorry | ever came into the world,” snid Cyrus W.

Flield, recently for assistanco to revent the failure of the firm, all of his re- sources haviug been used up. His father consentea to assist him and authorized him to take certain securitios from bis strong box for that purpose. Robbed by His Son. The son, however, took every negotiable security there was in the box, but éven that did not prevent the firm's downfull. It is be- lioved that all that remained of Mr. Field's once great fortune bofore this fresh trouble did not_exceed £1,000,000, aud of that sum not a dollar is now left. How much Edward M. Iield succeeded in gotting from bis father in’ the wuuner described is not known, but it is said to have been 100,000, The balunce was belioved to have been in unevcumtered renl estate, of which bis nouse, which he sold this weels, formod part. Allof' it 15 said to be gone in_the maelstrom at No. | Broadway, but exactly how much of it volunturily went lawfully, and now much of it the sou took without authority and lost there, 10 one seems ablo or willing to say. “Thav Cyrus W. Field is now penniless re- calls the fact that he was supposed to have been a special partuer in_ the fivm of Field, Lindley & Co. for 00,000 until March last. Ou that dato the firm was reovganizod and the semior Mr. Kield was sup- to have withdrawn his $500,- Ivis not believed that the 300,000, it existed at allin that way, was ever hdrawn by Mr. Iield, but was lost, aua its loss brought about thoe reorganization and tho introduction of new members, and that Edward M. Pield’s speculative course con- tinued, with the result that the money of all the partners was lost, as well as the 00,000 belongiog to bis father.
