Growers Not Given Enough Protection by the McKin- ley Law. Butler of North Carolina Argues in Favor of an Amendment for an Income Tax. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—Al- | though the Senate met at 11 o’clock to- day and did not adjourn until 5:30, the progress made with the tariff bill was very small. That was partly owing to the iact that the first hours of the session were consumed by two long speeches, one in favor of high duties on wool and the other for a constitutional amendment to permit an income tax, by Butler of North Carolina. It was nearly 3 o'clock when the tariff bill was actually taken up. The metal schedule was completed, except those paracrapis which alreedy have been passed over and except those relating to lead, wmica, nickel and watches, which were passed over to-day. There were only seven paragraphs finally acted on to-day. | Mantle addressed the Senate for two hours. He said that there had been no opportunity for pressnting the wool- growers’ side of the contention in the other branch of Congress for the reason thatowing to the brief time allowed for debate the wool schedule had never been reached by the body. He presented fully | and supported with numerous tables and | statistics the wool-growers' side of the controversy, and showed the enormou | losses sustained by the wool-growers in | | the depreciation in value of sheepand | wool during the past six vears. He declared that by reason of the enor- | mous importations in anticipation of the | ensctment of tariff law the wool-growers { would not receive much benefit from a | protective tariff for four years tocome. He asserted that whenever a tanff law is to be enacted the powerful manufacturing interests of the country, with their com- | pact and effective organizations, are al- ways on the ground and in the commit: | tee-rooms pressing their claims and push- ing their interests, while the farmers and | | wool-growers and producers of raw ma- | | terials generally are an isolated and scat- tered class from the nature of their voca- | tions, and thus lacking in effective organi- zation; hence in the past their interests had been neglected and they had not re- ceived their just share of protection. The great majority of wool-growers of the country are, he said, protectionists and Republicans; most of them arc be. lievers in the iree coinace of gold and sil- | ver independently by this country. but the question of protection and fres coin- age having been divided in the last cam- paign, the wool-growers accepting the pledge contained in the Republican Na- | uonal platform in favor of “ample protecs | tun for wool,” and believing the protec- | tion to be the paramount issue, cast their votes in the doubtful States for McKinley and elected him. The tariff bill, as it passed the House and as mow amended by the Benate, he | said, utterly fails 1o meet the expectations | of the wool-growers, and is regarded by | them largely as a repudiation of the Re- | publican pledge ‘of *‘ample protection for wool.” The wool-growers of the country, | he continued, are indignant over the | | treatment of their interests, and he warned the Republicans that they must | | change the proposed rates or they would lose the support of this numerouselement in ensuing campaigns. He asserted tbat the McKinley law had not afforded the necessary protection to | the wool-growers, and quoted statistics to | prove the assertion. He charged that it 1 of loopholes, permitting fraud and evasions, and was especially emphatic in bis denunciation of the ad valorem du- ties proposed on third-class wools. The Senator quoted Benator Aldrich’s statement that the proposed Senate rates would give from 10 to 20 per cent more | protection to the wool-grower than he had | ever received under any former tariff, and | prodnced statistics to show that the pro- posed rates were mnch lower, instead of being higher. He enumerated the objec- | tions of the wool-growers, as foliows: | First—To the skirting clause, Second—To the ad valorem duties on third-class wools. Third—To the admission of washed wools on second-class without payment of | adcitional auties. Fourth—To the admission of washed | and scoured wools on the third-class with- | ont the payment of additional duties. Fifih—To the imperiect classifications | which permit evasions. Butler in the course of his speech on the income tax referred to the *indecent haste” with which the pooling bill was urged immediately after the recent deci- sion of the United States Subreme Court against the anti-trusi law. Culiom, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, resented this state- ment, seying that the pooling bill was not being pressed with indecent haste, and that such a statement was a misrepresen- tation of facts. Chilton, a member of the Interstate Commerce Comimittee, in turn differed in toto from Chairman Cu!lom, and said the | pooling bill had not been seriously urged | unvl after the recent decision of the Su- preme Court on the trust law, When the wood schedule D was reachea there was a discussion of the first para- graph relating to timber hewn, sided or squared, which was not finished when the Senate adjourned. Luas o LEADEKS IN CONFERENCE. Republicans Agree Upon the Tariff Schedules. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—Tues- day evening a large number of Repub. lican Senators, including members of the Sub-Committee of Finance, who framed the tariff bill, met at the residence of Me- Millan of Michigan. Aftera good dinner those Republican leaders held a long, earnest consultation for the purpose of settline all differences regarding the various schedules of the bill and to make sure of harmonious and speedy action in getting the bill toa vote. The result was an agreement o provose very radical changes in the most important schedules, which will not only secure unanimous support ior it on the Republican side of the Senate but will make the bill accept- able to the House leaders and reasonably sure of adoption by the committee of con- erence, to which it will eventually go. The wool schedule will be amended in Various | enth Cavairy; accordance with the views of Senators representing distinctive Wwool.growing States. Iu brief the proposed changes are: . The minimum duty on third-class wools is to be increased irom 4 to 5 cents a pound, and the lower dividing line in third-class wools, between the maximum and minimum price, isto be reduced from 10 to 9 cents; z Tue duty on_first-class wools is to be in- creased from 8 to 9 cents a pound, and thaton second class and skirted wools to | 10 cents. The sugar schedule 13 to be recast. Duties are to be made specific. Possibly there may be a slight decrease from the rates fixed by the House, but if this be conceded it will be very slight The proposed increase of the tax on beer to $1 44 per barrel will be abandoned, with a possivle concession by amendments to the present regulations so the full amount of the tax of $1 a barrel shall be paid. This change alone will sdd nearly $3,000,000 to the internal revenue receipts. If it shail be found expedient to provide additional sources of revenue the pro- posed Testoration of the stamp tox will doubtless be made, the stamp to be the value of 1 cent instead of 2 OF INTEREST TG THE COAST. Suit for Damages by a Patent, Pension and Claim Ageni—0rders of the War Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4—John Wedderburn, once an employe of the San Francisco Examiner and who was em- ployed by that paper as detective in a case against a coal contractor at Mare Island, and who was later the manager of the “Examiner Bureau of Ciaims,” has brought suit against John Joy Edson, Joseph R. Edson and Laura Peck, claim- ing $50,000 aamages because of a circular tent out reflecting on Mr. Wedderburn’s patent, pensions and claims bureau. The circular cautioned them to beware of patent attorneys who offered prizes for in- ventions, alleging that they were “swind- ling confidence-game scoyndrels of the worst and most dangerous type.’” The circular also called attention to a bill introduced in Congress by. Senator Hansbrough, calculated to suppress this kind of patent-attorney business. Wed- derburn in his complaint allezes that these statements are false and libelous, and asks damages accordingly. Wedder- burn was at one time secretary to Senator rst and a correspondent of xaminer.

Ray of Hope From Supreme Court That Is Rudely Dispelled. Pitiful Scenes Befora the Sherlff Proceeds to Execute the Death Sentence. COLUMBUS, Ga., June 4.—One of the bloodiest tragedies that ever took place Dbere was expiated in the execution o! Hen- 1y White and the close was as tragic as its beginning. While the manacled man waited upon the scaffold for the execution of his sentence the work was suspended | by an emergency call of the Supreme | Courtin Atlanta, which gave a ray of hope for his life, The fact that the court | shouid have met for such a purpose at | the last moment afier the Governor bad refused to interiere made the young man | ieel certain that he would not die to-day. After three hours of waiting a telegram addressea to the prisoner by name was handed 1o him. With trembling fingers | he clutehed it and reading the legal phraseology wrong he feel back, exclaim- ing, “Thank God, I'm saved!” It was painfal for the Sheriff to explain to him bis mistake—that relief hud been refused and that he must prepare to die within baif an hour. The prisoner’s mother and his sweet- heart, Miss Viola Lambert of Danville, Va., clung closely to him and bade him farewell. Miss Lambert became engaged | to the young man on the night before the tragedy which was to cost him his life and steadfastly refused to be parted from him in his trouble. She has been adopted into the family and deciares that she will | devote her life 10 the mother of her dead | | lover. J. A. White, a prosperous shoemaker, became a slave to drink and harbored vengeful feelings against all policemen. | | On October 14 he went out with his 19- | year:old son, Henry, and shot three police- | men dead. Returning home they barri- | caaed themseivesand opened fire apon ail who approached. A stray shot killed the father. Henry escaped, but was after- | ward captured. It was for his part in | these crimes that he was banged to-day. STREETS 6D WITH B OF S | Continued from Fi t Page. ernor Bushneli duging the alternoon, shortly after his return from Wooster. It is reported they asked that the militia be sent to Urbana to protect Sheriff McLain and Captain Leonard. The Governor de- nies that they made any such request. He said their mission wus of an entirely different nature. He said he had been ir}- formed that Sheriff McLain ana Captain Leonard had stolen away from Urbana because of the feeling against them and would not return until after affairs had | assumed a normal condition. The Gov- ernor received a message from Urbana about 7 o’clock to-night to the effect that | the crowd had dispersed and things were | quietingdown. The Governor anticipates no further trquble. He says no addi- tional troops will be ordered to Urbana. CAUSES THE DEATH OF 4 PATIENT. Dr. Lewss F. Freston, a Spetialist With a Cure for Consumption, Charged With Wurder. DENVER, Coto., June 4.—Dr. Lewis F. “Preston, a specialist with an advertised | cure for consumption, was arrested last night and released on bail to charged with the murder of David Pronk. The body of Pronk will be exhumed. | Pronk came from Brook'yn, N. Y., in the last stages of consumption. The Cigar- makers’ Union furnished money to give Pronk the benefit of medical treatment, and Dr. Preston’s new cure was tried. This consists in inserting a trochar into the lungs at the point where the cavity is supposed to be. Throush this a hollow tube loop of platinum wire is inserted Connected to the loop are wires of a po erful electric battery. When the current on the loop takes on a white heat it is | supposed to kill the germ formation with- | § in the lung cavity. Pronk was unable to survive the application of chloroform and | the operation. Preston claims to havea | written release from Pronk and will pro- duce his college viploma as a defense. e DROWNED IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. late Dr. H. S.

LAPORTE, Ixp, June 4.—Charles P! erton, who was placed on trial for his lile yesterday for the murder of his nephew, cut his throat from ear toearin his cell | this morning. He used a piece of steel from the sole of his shoe. Ever since the murder Pinkerton has | been very morose. He talked very iittle about the case, and did not seem to care very much whether be was convicted or not. One thing was certain, he said, and that was he would never be hadged. He infuriated men and women, who fought one another in their efforts to reach him. They struck at the wretch,spat upon him, | kickea him, tore piecesof flesh from his low stepped out from the crowd and hit him a terrible blow on the head with a sledge-hammer. “Don’t kill bim until we bang him,”” cried others in a rage. Women struggied to the front ranks to get a chance to strike Athim. Atlast the tree was reached and the yope was slung over a branch twenty- five feet high. A dozen pairs of hands grasped the rope and jerked the mnegro, now nalf unconscious, high up in the air. They pulled so viciously that the wretch's head siruck again and again the from which be hung. Blood spurted from the mouth, ears and nostrils, and it is as likely that he was killed by bhaving bis brains knockdd out against the branch as by hanging. Fully 5000 watched the lynching and cheered it on. Many women were in the crowd, and some of them edged their way close up to the tree. When there was no doubt that there was a spark of life left in | the negro the free end of the rope was tied to the tree trunk and the body left dang- ling there in full view all day. Then the townspeople turned their at- | tention to the militinmen who fired upon } upon them. Threats were made freely | and openly that vengeance would be | meted out to them in quick order. The condition of Mrs. Gaumer is said to very critical to-night, the exciting events of the day baving been a great shock to her. Mrs. Gaumer is about 40 years of | age and a sister-in-law of ex-Senator Dan- | iel Gaumer, editor of the Zanesville Sig- nal. Her husband died a few years ago and she has continued the pubiieation of the paperwhich he edited. She was attacked in ber house by the negro Mitchell on May 27. Those injured by the militia’s voliey are Dr. Thompson of Lewicburg, Ray Dickinson of Urbana, Prosecuting Attor- ney S. B. Deaton, Ralph McComb, Zank Wank, A. W.

SPRINGFIELD, Oxnro, June 4 —Threats against the Sheriff and Captain Leonard of the Urbana company were =0 ofinous that about noon the friends of the militia carried civilians’ clothing to the jail and the guards slipped away quietly unno- ticed.
