SIBLEY CONDEMNS TARIFF CASH but CHANGES Pennsylvaninn Says People Will Hold Republicans Responsible for Any Action When Present Reform WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The general de- bate on the postoffice appropriation biH was | enlivened today by an interesting discus- slon of the tarift question.

Takes Up Postofice BI Consideration was resumed of the post- | office appropriation bill; an arrangement having been made to close general debate at 3 o'clock. Mr. Perkins (N.-Y.) favored placing beot and hides on the free list. Mr. Sibley (Pa.) attracted much attention by his re- marks in reply to a speech after Mr. Wil- | liams (Mich.) last week on the subject of the tariff.. In concluding, he warned the house . that the people.weuld hold the re- publicans responsible after the hysteria relative to tariff reform had passed. Most of his republican colleagues ap- plauded this statement. Mr. Griggs (Ga.), Who .was chalrman of the democratic congressional committee, defended at some length the figures of the democratic campalgn book relative to the tariff and the trusts. Mr. Loud (Cal), chairman of the post- office committee, in closing reviewed the condition of the postal service and its phenomenal growth in recent years. He expressed the opinfon that the postoffice appropriation for the next year should carry less than the present measure. Mr. Talbert (8. C.) moved to strike oyt the appropriation of $142,000 for special mail facilities between Washington, At- lanta and New Orleans. Atter a lively debate the motion was de- feated, 73 to 83. A motion to strike out the appropria- | postofice appropriation bill ik agreed on a specigl rule for the considera tion of the Littfefield anti-trust bill.

Last Saturday was pay day for thousanda | of Waterbury lahorers and It is affirmed that the riot of that night was a result of not unusual pay day carousals. Wednes- day is pay day for as many more and the loglc of the thing seemed to point to this night as one of menacing possibilities. All told, the day had been an uneasy one and was with great relief that Watérbury heard the news from the state capital this evening that Governor Chamberlain had de- cided not to withdraw the troops tonight. So far as the peace of the city was con- cerned, the day had been a quiet one, as a heavy downpour of rain kept idlers within doors. The military headquarters were equipped with a telephone system reaching out to every point in rthe strike territory.

Just before 6 o'clock Sheriff Dunha ar- rived from New Haven. With him were thirty deputies, newly sworn. The little posse was escorted to the courthouse, Where it 1s now quartered. The sheriff himselt immediately went to military headquarters. A heavy tain which began before day- light taday had a quieting effect on the sit- uation. It served to keep the streets clear of crowds and the police and’ state troops welcomed it as an effective aid in their work for tha preservation of peace. The cars of the company and the wagons of the strikers ran on their usual rival schedules today with the bus lines having | the better of it so far as patronage was concerned.

VICTORIA, B. C Feb. 4.—News was brought by the steamship Empress of China of a disaster in Kobe *harbor on January 19 as a result of which between forty" and fitty lives were lost. The steamers Yokobama Maru and Genkal Maru were being repaired and the steam launch Hayabusa was sent to take elghty- five workmen from one steamer to the launch. . When the launch was near the stern of Genkal Maru the strong morthwest squall swept over the harbor and capsized the launch, which foundered in a few min- utes. Some of the workmen swam to | Genkai Maru, others were rescued and be- tween forty and fitty were drowned. Twenty-eight bodies were recovered. The scene in the dock yard when the relatives of the dead gathered around the company’s office are described as pitiable. Fire occurred on January 17 in Urushubu colliery, Fukuoka Ken, Japan, and sixty- four miners were burned to death. Two hundred and twenty miners were working in the mine when a miner accidentally ignited a dynamite fuse and the explosion followed.: Many cscaped, but gas formed rapidly and a cave-in at the pit mouth blocked up the mine, imprisoning sixty-four men, who lost their lives. Plagne Is Inereasing. The plague is increasing at Tokio. It scems that the germs were imported in cotton from Bombay. Dr. Yokota, the quarantine officer, was ome of the victims. On the day of his death the Japanese em- peror bestowed on him the order ot the | Rising Sun. With the order of merit a | penston of 19 yen has been granted to his family. As a result of & combat between 100 fish- ing smacks off the Japanese coast heavy loss of {ife has occurred. It was reported that forty-five had been killed. The fisher- men belonged to villages in the Nagasaki pretecture. Correspondents at Nanking tell of a dls- astrous landslide at that port as a result of which over 200 lives were lost. The steamer Poyang had arrived alongside the Butterfield and Sires hulk and was landing its cargo when the high bank for the space of 600 feet slid down with a roar, and be- fore the spectators could realize that a trag- edy had occurred over 200 Chinese had been burfed bencath tons of earth and hundreds were maimed and crippled.
