TALKING OF THE TARIFF
Debate in the Senate--Little Busi-
ness Done i'm the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-In the Senate
debate on the Post Office Appropriation
bill to-day. Mr.. Platt (Rep., Comm said
that he had heard or no demand for the
reduction Of letter postage to two cents
outside of Congress and certain news
papers, and he believed the change was
premature. Instead Of imposing a
penalty upon the free-deliVeTy system,
the Government ought not only to de-
liver letters without extra charge, but
ought to greatly extend the system.
The Tariff bill was then taken up. In
reference to Senator Warner Miller's
amendment, making the duty on filled
bottles ~ cents a pound instead Of 80
Per cent. ad valOrem, as in the bill. Mr..
Beck said he thought this was small
business, and he was sorry to see the
Senators from the great State Of New
York engaged-One in trying to tax
flowing spelngs, and the other in trying
to tax old empty bottles for the prOtec-
ton of somebody. There was once a
Senator from that State who, he
thought, could not have been made to
engage in such a business. The Senate
by one vote refused to increase the
duty.
Mr.. Vance said the bill proposed much
higher rates of duty upon cheap glass
than upon that which was more costly,
and alleged that the talk about protect
ing American labor was insincere.
Speakingof the as]ertiOn that Depau,
the New Albany glass manufacturer,
had imported cheap Belgian labOrers to
take the place of the American work
men, he said he supposed 1t was known
generally that our manufacturers of
this kind employed foreign labOrers to q
great extent, and that as soon as one of
these foreigners came here and took a
position in a factory he forthwith be-
came an American labOrer, so precious
In our eyes that 1t was the duty of Con-
Rress to levy extra taxes upon fifty mil
lion people in order to give him a good
opportunity to make living. [Lau-
ghter.
Mr.. Harrison asked Mr.. Vance whether
he desired to make discrimination be-
tween Industrious immigrants lately
landed upon our shores in favor Of 9TH
ers who had been here longer or of na-
tive born citizens.
Mr.. Vance replied that the claim of
the manufacturer was that the Ameri-
can laborer must be protected against
the work Of "the pauper labor" Of other
countries, and Congress, for this pur-
pose, levied tax which rested upon the
domestic as we'll as the imported arti-
eles; but who would protect the Ameri-
can labOrer against the foreign pauper
himself?
Mr.. Harrison said the difference was
that the foreign workman when he camO
here and settled among us ceased to be
a pauper, and became a participant not
only in the social and political, but also
in the Industrial advantages Of this
country.
Mr.. Dawes said it made no difference
to him whether the labOrer in America
was born here or came from abroad to
identify himself with US and share our

THR REPOSITORY LECTURES SALEM
AND ALLIANCE

If the interminable abuse Of the Ohio
State CanVassing Board indnlged In by
the Salem Republican and Alliance Re
view, since the count of the Congress
siOnal vote of the State, had broader
foundation than unreasonable personal
hatred Of Congressman Mckinley and
chagrin at his election in spite of their
efforts to defeat him, 1t would be decid-
edly more impressive. Now, this is not
said to iTritate and offend, but it seems
as If this grOundless, senseless abuse
had gone far enough. The party requires
all the harmony it can command for
future contests, and must not allow it
self to be divided by personal matters
between individuals. Its aim must be
higher and more direct. The certificate
or election was awarded to Mckinley
by the State Board after canvassinR the
returns. He was entitled to it upon the
face of the returns, and in the event of
a contest he is entitled to the earnest
support Of his party in this district and
out of 1t, to the end that full and hon
est investigation may be seeured.-Re-
pOsitory 22d.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, January 21.-A
Berkeley dispatch says: The mixing
house and six packing houses OF the
Giant Powder Works at Point Clement,
near West Berkeley, exploded at A p. m.
The shocks Of seven explosions were felt

The Superintendent was thrown a long

THE DUBLIN TRIALS.
Strong Charges-Farrell Turns
States Evidence.

DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-Twenty one persons,
including Chancellor Carey, all charged
with conspiracy to murder government
officials, were arraigned at police court
Saturday morning. The court room was
densely crowded, and the streets lined
with curious spectators. The police ar
rangements for preventing any disturb
ance were perfect. There was the great
est excitement when Murphy, counsel
for the government, said he would prove
to the court the actual existence in the
city of a strong and well directed organ
izatiOn for the purpose of assassination.
The society or union had for its special
object the murder off officers Of the gov
ernment, not only those who were known
to be hostile to such secret Organisa-
tiOns, but all who were concerned in
maintaining order under the laws. The
prisoners now at the bar were members
of this illegal, murderOus organisation.
A witness named Farrell depOsed that
he was a Fenian, a sworn member of
the brotherhood, and that he had at
tended drill meetings of the Organiza-
tiOn in question, and of which the pris-
Oners were also members. The trial is
creating excitement, and particularly
the evidence Of Farrell.

A KICK AGAINST THE CAU-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-There is con-
siderable ill-feeling here among the
free trade Republicans over the action of
Kelly and other prOtectiOnists in calling
a caucus of the House of Representa-

making the tariff bill party measure.
KassOn, Bryan of Kansas, Cameron of
ILL.,, Chandler, Rice and Grape, and many
others, protest and openly assert that
they will not be governed by any caucus
on this question. They also state that
they will oppose any effort to cut off de-
date on the question. Kelly admits that

while Carlisle insists that it will in
crease it. movement is on foot to

Mid-Ooean - Terrible Railroad
Accident in California.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-KunhaTdt & Co.,
agents of the Hamburg American Steam
ship Company, received this dispatch:
HAMBURG, Jan. 20.-The Cimbria was
sunk Friday morning, twelve miles
southwest Of BOrkum, by the British
steamer Sultan. She sank fifteen min
utes after the collision. Thirty-nine
persons landed at Cuxhaven this even
ing. Other boats are still out. The
steamers Bavaria and Hansa and several
tugs leave Immediately to search for
other boats. Mr.. j. +. II. Myer, of Kun
hardt Il Co., said tonight: "The Cim-
bria very likely had on board 500 steer
age passengers. The BOrkum mentioned
in our dispatches believe to be BOrkum
reef, and not the island. The Cimbria
carried eight lifebOats with an average
capacity Of about fifty passengers each.
1t is possible that some of these boats
were crushed in the collision.
BIBTEEN PERSONS CRUSHED AND CREMA-
TED ON THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 20.-SOOn after
midnight last night the overland ex-
press by the Southern Pacific Railroad
which left here at 9:20 a. m. yesterday,
stopped near Tehichipa Station to cut
out an extra engine taken on at Sumner
to assist in pulling up the TehichipR
grade. While making the change the
train got away, and started back down a
grade of l20 feet to the mile. The train
consisted Of two engines, express, mail,
and baggage cars, two sleepers, one
coach and a smoker. 1t went down the
grade at frightful speed for about four
miles, when the hinimOst sleeper jumped
the track and went over an embankment
fifteen feet high, carrying with 1t the
other sleeper and mail, baggage and eX-
press cars, which were piled in a shat
teTedl heap. They took fire and were
consumed. The passenger coach and
the smOging car kept on the down grade,
but were stopped without leaving the
track three miles further on. The scene
following the wreck was terrible one,
A number Of persons jambed in the de-
bris of the train were roasted to death
before the eyes Of those who were un-
able to save them,
The wounded are almost without ex-
eeptiOn only slightly wounded. A spe-
eial train has been sent to the scene
from Los Angeles with physicians and
AN undertaken, the dead and wounded
will be taken to Los Angeles.
Further adYices from Tehichipa say
that eighteen passenger and two sleep
ing-car pOrters lost their lives, and that
ten or twelve other persons were badly
injured. Seventeen bodies have been
recovered from the wreck. One Of them
Is considered certainly to be that of Mrs.
DOwney. Captain Waterhouse, previ-
Ously reported injured, is not expected
to survive.
