T0 ABOLISH SUGAR BOUNTY | Great Tight to Be Precipitated When Con- gress Convenes, IT INVOLVES A SACRED PRINCIPLE Repablican Party Will Nlecome the Cham- plon of Those Citteens Who Invested Heavily In Sugar Plants In Good Falth, Wasnixaro: 5 Juneav or Tite Bre, | WIEENTI STREET, Wasnixaro, Nov. 18, § One of the liveliest fights for principles the country has seen for many years will bo witnessed when the new tariff bill comes be- fore the house. 1t is the intention of the majority of the committee on ways and means to abolish the feature of the Me- Kinley tariff law which pays a bounty of 2 cents a pound to the sugar growers of this country It will be proven by record testi- mony that this act will be worse than rob- bery, Since the McKinloy tariff law went into effect several millions of dollars have been invested in sugar mills in Nebraska, California, Utah and a number of other sec- tions of the country. T'ne farmers about York introduced representatives of the glove manufacturers of Glovervilie, N. Y., who ask for such legislation as would afford protec- ton to their industry. J. P'eterson, president of the United In- dustriai Fibre company of Lockport, had an hour's conference with Chairmaa Wilson and other members of the committee with refer enco to the protection of the new industry of indurated fibre ware. FOR PROTECTION FROM ROBRERS, Railroad Companics Moving for Legisiation n that Dicection. Wasnixaros, Nov, 18.~The railroad and express companies nre moving upon congress in earnest to secure legislation for their pro- tection against train robbery, and will make strenuous cfforts to secure some action in that direction at the approaching session. A bill looking to this end was introduced by Representative Caldwell of Ohio during the extra session, but owing to the press of other business it was not pushed. The rep- resentatives of the transportation com- panies say now, however, that the matter is too important to admit of more delay than is necessary th will do all in their power to secure levislation during the present win- ter, which they fe; on account of dull times and the number of men out of employ- ment will furnisii too many illustrations of the nl ssity for such protection as they de- mand, The various railrond and telegraph com- ies have already beeun to lobby in the arest of the Caldwell bill, and are bring- - those sugar inills have purchased implements with which to plant sugar beetseed and har- vest the product, A ereat army of men and women have been educated in the culture of sugar beets and their manufacture into sugar. All of this investment and study has been upon the promise of the law and the pledge of congress and the aaministration of the government that this encouragement in the production of beet sugar would be main- tained, as it I been for many years in France and Germany, and is thero at pres- ent maintaiyed, 1 the industry in this country had s d a sufticient footing to enable 1t to stand alone, Sonthern Planters Object. From Louisiana come statements through her representatives in congress that enor- mous outlays have been made by the cane sugar producers of that state under the promises made in the hounty law. Old and run-down cane sugar plantations have been carefully goue over by skilled repairers of wornout soil, and carpenters and machin- ists who have put the plantations in fine condition of prod encss, while the build- ings and machinery are in good repair. 1t is stated that not one-fourth of the expendi- tures in any of the_sugar producing states, made simce the McKinley law went into effect, have been returned to the investors by profits and bounty. ‘The great bulk of “sugar, which comes to the United States under freo trade ora duty, is produced in the Sandwich islands, where coolie labor can be had for onec-fourth the amount which our producers must pay. This is the secret of the opposition of Claus BSpreckels to the annexation of the Sandwich islands to the United States. As to Cheap Labor. Under our alien laws he would not be per- mitted to work his thousands of Chinamen and Malays upon his far off sugar planta- tlons. Claus Spreckels frankly aamits that he can make more profit in working cooley laborers on the Sandwich islands than he could from the present sugar bounty if he had to bire American laborers. Able statesmen—not alone from the re- ublican party—will show when the tariff bill comes before the house that ail of these preparations for the production of beet and cane sugar in the United States were made not only with the understanding that the present bounty should be retained until the outlays were returned and the industry had secured sufticient footing to compete with Euvopean producers, but with the distinct promise in law. The record will be produced showing that this promisc was made by members of the committees in congress and those who spoke upon the floor when the subject vas under discussion. The law itself, which induced the great investments and preparations, is regarded as sufficient promisc to hold the government to its con- tract. Discussed Revenue Measures. The democratic members of the committee on ways and means got together today for the first time since the adjournment of con- gress, but owing to the failuro of the sub- committee on internal revenue to make a re- port, very little was done. The committeo is not yet fully advised as to the position of the treasury officials on the subject of in- creasing the internal revenue taxes and today. a subcommittee was appointed for the purpose of conferring with Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner of Internal Rev- euue Miller upon this subject. The commit- tee was closeted with the two officials all the afternoon and during the conference all outsiders were rigidly excluded. ‘While the details of the conference can- not bo learned, it is known that the ques- tion of the imposition of a tax upon incomes was discussed in extenso, and there 1s reason to believe that an agreement was reached whereby a graduate income tax will be rec- ommended to the full committee in spite of the opposition of Congressman W. Bourke Cockran. When the proposition to increase the tax on beer was first broached it was vigorously opposed by the brewers and their attorneys here made such a vigorous kick that it was practically decided to abandon the proposition, but since then the deter- mination of the committee to increase the revenues of the covernment through inter- nal taxes has been so plainly shown that it was determined to mhr to the beer tax in spite of the protests. This was one of the bjects discussed at the conference today. 1t is learned that there was a decided dif- ference of opinion between those present as to theadvisability of such action, but there was no division on the subject of the whisky tax, and it is certain that the forthcoming bill will increase the present stamp rate from ) cents per gallon to $1.25 at least, and possibly to $1.50, Washington's Latest Se lon.

Periy S, Hearn, SAT FOR 51X HOURN, Dewocratic Members of the Ways and Means Committes and Their Tarir Bl Wasu N, Nov. 18.—The democratic members of the ways and means committee were in conference six hours today over the new tariff bill. Tue several subcommitiees presented their reports on the various sched- vles assigned to them and the tariff bill now caly awaits the approval of the full member- sbip. The subcommittee on iuternal reve- nue was the only committee not fully pre- pared to report, and as the question of an ucome tax falls within its jurisdiction and uatil the matter of policy is decided the de- tailed report of \"Aqe committee cannot be Bowerer, was, "iavaratly ronscie ‘4% the subcommittee, yMr. NW;:«'MHHII}: chairman of the subcommittee, took » strong stand in favor of was warml ixiety over the reported op- position to the income tax policy and final action was deferred until next week.

They want a national law, and urge that only that will suffice for their thorough protection. They say I pleading \with senators and menibers that if all the states and terri- tories would enact laws such as Arizona has enacted, making train robbery a felony, there would be no demand for a national law; but they have found 1t impossible to secure uniformity of action by the state They argue that congress can act for the protection of interstate railroad or express companies just as consistently as it could act to regulate commerce between the states, The large number of these train robberies which have occurred in the past twenty years and which seem to increase rather than diminish, has, they say, called for a number of expedients to be adopted for the protection of express messenge passen- gers and ;, but in nearly every case whi pt has been made to rob, or wreek a train, it has been successful. The robbers have proved capable of over- coming all obstacles placed in their :way. The burgiar proof safes, which a number of ago were placed inall the ex were for a time sufficient to withs! ttacks, but of late years the robbers called to their aid nitro-glycerine, giant powder, dynamite and other powerful explo- sive agencies, and have thus been able to break open the strongest of boxes and secure their contents. In many instances express messengers who have resisted the robbers have been killed and railroad passengers have also suffered the loss of life atthe hands of robbers. The penalty imposed by the Caldwell bill for attempts at train robbery is a term of twenty years uonprisonment. The bill has not beea discussed in the house, but the senate devoted an hour to talk upon the subjoe h was brought up by a resolu- tion during the extra session, and enough was said to indicate that the bill will en- counter strong opposition if it_ever reaches the senate. Senators Hale, Hoar and Vest took the position that cach state was capable of dealing with the question in its own way. The railroad and express com- fes’ representatives think, however, that will be able to overcome much of this opuosition.

C, Arm- strong, acting commissioner of Indian af- fairs, has been informed that quite a party of whites have entered the Uncomphagre Indian reservation in Utah to prospect for gold, and the agent of the Indians who for- warded the information has asked for in- structions. To this inquiry General Arm- strong replied, instructing the agent to promptly evictthe intruders. Hesaid the whites have no more rvight to enter the In- dian reservation to prospect for mineral than one has to enter another man's yard and help himself to what he finds there, and that in all instances when the department is ad- vised ©f such trespass the interlopers will be promptly removed. (ieneral Armstrong also says that there is more pressure than usual at this time for the privilege of prospecting upon the Indian reservations. This is due o the fact that many silver mivers in the Rocky mountain states and territories have been thrown out of employment and in the search for gold, which has increased largely in the past few months, the prospectors show an almost un- controllable desire to cross the lines of the reservations, within which they always seem to think they can find the precious metals in abundance. These efforts will be resisted, General Armstrong says, both for the pur- pose of Sro cting the Indians and their rights and for the prevention of bloodshed, which is likely to be the result of such en- croachment. d No Information. ‘Wasnixarox, Nov. 18,—The State depart- ment has received no motice of the re- ported proclamation by Admiral Mello nam- ing Count Louis Puilippe as emperor of Bra- zil.

"TIPS" FURNISHED SEVERAL PERSONS Features of the Silver Fight that Con- tributed to the Financial Advan- tage of Those on the In- side of the Deal, Wasnixerox, Nov, 18.—[Special to Tne B This administration seems to be greaton giving “tips” as to forthcoming actions, and in more than one instance the particular friends of Mr. Cleveland, or mem- bers of his cabinet, have had hints of what is about to hapon and have realized neat little sums from this inside information. The fact that an extra session was to be called was discounted in Wall street at least three days before tha president’'s call was issued, and when the silver fight w near- ingits end a very mysterious messenger carried the news to a few, and a greatdeal of money was pocketed by the happy posssess- ors of the *tip."” Some one scems to be dealing in the same commodity just about this time, or, at least, did before the elections took place, as it has become gossip about town that John Chamberlain has been made stakeholder of several bets that Cleveland would be the nominee of the democratic party in 1808, But this time it seems that the tout had got his information somewhat mixed and given it out prematurely ; at least that is what the unfortunate men who believed it are saying now. So much money, for an event so far distant, nas been posted that those who have wagerea their dollars on Cleveland con- sider i ead loss, for since and explosion of the Hawaiian scandal no one in Washington seriously thinks that Grover Cleveland hus tne slightest chance for the nominatiou by the regular democracy three years hence. Aftecting Cleveland’s Health. The unanimous condemnation that has fallen upon the president within the last week in regard to the Hawatian policy hus had a most serious effect on Mr. Cleveland's health. Before he allowed the secretary of state to give to the public the remarkable statement signed by ter Q. Gresham the president was convinced by that ofti that the trap had been set and that every thing would work smootbly in Hawaii, and by the time the public became acquainted with his policy news would arrive from Hon- olulu of the accomplishment of the coup. But it seems now that the administration had only made a superficial study of the situation on the islands and that instead of the policy and the action being simulta- neous Minister Willis slipped up in his part and was obliged to wait for further iastruc- tions before he could act. This faux pas told heavily on Mr. Cleve- land. He saw that he had been tricked, and that for the first time the verdict agaiust him was almost unanimous. This, fol- lowing so -quickly upon the reversal of opinion in regard to the tariff as dis- cussed at the polls on November filied his cup of bitterness to overflowing. He be- came peevish, restless and discontented. He fairly foamed under the lash of public criti- cism, and the trip to New York was ordered as much for a change of sceneand airas anything else. Clevelands at Home. There was no particular reason why Mr. Cleveland and the family should not como into the white- house at this time except that Mrs. Cleveland had made her arrange- nts to eat her Thanksgiving dinner av Woodley. But within the last ten days the renovation of the private parlors and other portions of the white house have been pushed rapidly to completion. There are many improvements in the red parlor of the exccutive mansion, and as this is always used by Mrs. Cleveland as a reception room she naturally took a great deal of pride in its decorations and desired to super- intend tho last touches. The walls have been retouched and brightened and new upholstery has been put on the old red furniture, New draperies hang at the windows and a new carpet adorns the fioor. The guests at the official dinners will havo the pleasure of eating off of a new ssrvice ot china, which has been manufactured for the ‘white house. Last year the glass and other tablewear was new, and this year the china closets have been replenished. The white house table service used on stato occasions is always manufactured from special desigus, and the glass is engraved and china painted with the emblem of the ‘‘Unitea States.” Both are of the finest make and the most delicate material. Fuatul Tariff Tinkering. The Hawaiian question, which has en- grossed public attention so much this weel, has completely hidden aimost every other subject before the public. But vetween the absorbing interests as te whether Queen Laliuokaiani was on the throne again or whether Minister Willis has recceived his walking papers, there has bobbed up the evidences of internccine strife among the members of the ways and means committee, Chairman Wilson has repeatedly saia that the tariff bill will be ready for con- gress when it meets, but he is only whistling to keep up his courage, for the majority of his fellow members confess that they do not join with him in this belief. Bach day brings forth its new struggle, and as cach new schednle is announced it brings out de- nunciation from democratic members until now it is conceded that the bill will haye a very hard time of it in passing muster, even among the democratic majority. There is a stranze coincidel in connec- tion with the ways and means committee, in regard to the democratic members, when they are in the mujority and attempt to formulate o taviff bill. It seems almost a fatality. With the republicans, however, it is just the reverse. It always brings them good luck, while to the democrats 1t means an end to political distinction, After the taviff bill known as the “hori- zontal reduction,” advocated by Morrison of Illinois, the people turned upon the demo- cratic leaders and left them at home. Mor- rison himself was beaten when he ran for congress, and Hewitt saw the handwriting onthe wall and voluntarily retived. Then, when Mills took up the cudgel and fought his scheme through the house, he found on returning to s Texas burough thac he could not be elected again and gave notice thathe would retire from politics. By a chance of circumstances, however, he man- aged to slide into a seat in the senate, where he has been virtually hidden by the big men of that body. Wilson and Ills Followers. It is openly asserted by such leading democrats as Governor McCorkle of West Virginia that if coal is placed on the free list—and Wilson says it will be—Wilson might as well retire, for he will never be re- elected, as McCorkle and other protection democrats will see that the threat is carvied out, Already Bynum of Indiana has heard from Indianapolis, and this week he pub- licly announced that after his term expires he will retire from public life. Bryan of Nebraska is another marked man. As for Bourke Cockran, he is already as good as dead, politically; indeed, Mr. Cockran, since s misunderstanding with his political god- fathers, Croker & Co., las not paid the least attention to the framing of the tarift bill, Although Chairman Wilson has made numerous requests to Mr. Cockran to return he has only answered by letter, saying that his law business is so pressing ibat he is the elections | of Governor Renfrew of Oklahoma estimates 504, and thatof the Cherokee Strip at 100,000 The immigration of colored people from the 7,072,128 over stock of the national banks of Oklahoma is reported as $876,000, the deposits $1,420,000 and the loans and discounts amount to 1,042,000, haves tendency jo restrict the redemption of national bank notes was issued yesterday and after November 27, ™03, the charges for demptio 1874 (I8 Statutes, 128), must be paid by the party making the remittance.
