The New York Mail and Express
prints an interview with Senator Sher.
man on the proposed tariff legislation
He charges that congress should let the
subject alone and argues that the matter
should only be handled when one or the
other party has majority in the two
houses of congress, 80 that the people
may hold one or the other party respon-
sible for the effect of whatever legisla.
tion occurs. He thought party lines
would be more strictly drawn hereafter,
and this would be happy day, for then
popular opinion might fairly decide for
or against protective duties. If the
democratic party was in power. be
thought it would frame laws simply with
view to revenue. He thought that
when the issue came portion of the
south would be for protection, and por.
tions of the east for free trade. In bis
view the country needed protective
duties in moderate deglee, but stable
and certain commercial laws, which
would encourage American ship building
and commerce on the high seas.

The Stcam-Chests Blown III an En-

Frlday.nigdt about 6 o'clock IN engine
was bri aging q freight train down the hill
from tie Summit, when all at once there
was a loud report and the engine lost all

that the steam che.ts had been blown off
from both sides of the engine.
The accident happened when about op.

of the steam chests went up in the air q
considerable distance and came down on

ment we're just coming out from work

The report was a very loud one and
many people in the vicinity of the upper
yards heard it and started up the track
TO ascertain what was the matter and a
feeling of relief was experienced when il
was found that no one had been hurt by
the accident.
There Is m reason given for the acct
dent and the engineer did not express an
opinion. Those who pretend to know
say he was doubtless coming down the
hill TOO fast and he ''plugged"the engine,
that Ia reversed her any gave her steam,
and this was what caused the blow up.
