ana, too, has raised her voice in
favor Of maintaining the present
duty on sugars. Such opposition
from this section was unexpected,
and has caused the anti-tariff men
to pause and consile from whence
the votes will come to pass the
bill.
The friends of Mr.. Randall re-
main silent, yet are not entirely dis
pleased at the halt called on what
they consider a war on the indus
tries Of the country. They rather
enjoy the situation, and say that
the present Congress was organized
to relegate Mr.. Randall and all of
his way of thinking to the rear. 1t
was this spirit that sent Governor
Curtin to the background. They
recall the boasts made, that in the
matter of the tarll Mr.. Randailand
his followers would be ridden over
rough shod, and, as in last Con-
gress, if they voted against tariff
reduction would be read by the or
CANS out Of the Democratic party.
They assert that all is now changed
and that Mr.. Morrison, having
found it impossible to pass "A bill,
has changed from threatening to
cajoling.
Certain it is that Mr.. Brecken-
ridge Arkansas, has been deputed
to ascertain the views of Mr.. Ran
dali, and, if possible, to reconcile
the difference existing between the
followers of Mir. Randall and those
of Mr.. Morrison. Others, members
Of the Ways and Means Committee,
have been designated to interview
other Randallites. Had not the
followers of Mr.. Randall, who voted
against the Morrison Horizontal
Bill in the last Congress been read
out OF the party then it is certain
that the chances for agreement
would now be better; as 1t is the
sore remains, and The men who
could not be intimidated by threats
may not now take kindly TO cajol-
cry.

RICHMOND, VA, March oar
gument was commenced in the
Court of Appeals today in the case
of Thomas j. Cluverius, convicted
of the murder of Miss Fannie Lii
Ian Madison. The prisoner was
represented by ex.Judge W. W.
Orump and all of the other counsel
who defended him before the Hust-
lngs Court. There are eight bills
of exceptions in this case. Each
of these we're reviewed today by
Mr.. Beverly Crump, of prisoners
counsel. The argument will oc-
cupy four or five days. Mr.. Willie
Cluverius, a brother OF the con-
demned man, was in the city today,
but was not present in court. Gu
verius looks as well as he did when
he was arrested, more than a gear

at work on a bill to be reported Il
ascertain the feeling Of business
men, delegations representing Ger
tain lines of manufacturing, are
heard by the Committee of Way
and Means. The AmalgamateC
Iron and Steel Workers were
heard by the House committee Oh
ways and means.
Mr.. Weihe of Pittsburg, presi
dent Of the association, said the
agitation of the reduction in the
iron and steel schedule had created
great alarm among the workers in
these materials throughout the
country. If the iron and steel
which was imported during the
past year had been manufactured
in this country we would not have
been so many idle hands around
the mills, and a reductions in the
rate of duty would only increase
the number of idle hands. For this
reason the Amalgamated Associ.
alton, which represented between
7O,OOO,OOO aud SO,000,OO0 men
desired to enter it's protest against
the proposed legislation.
VIM. Martin of Pittsburg read q
strong protest prepared by a com
mittee of the association, in which
the association says it is unaltera'
bly, opposed to any revision of the
tariff except in the direction OF
higher duties. Although the labor
of the country had
not az yet taken part in politics, if
the tendency of Congress was to-
ward a revision of the tariff in the
direction of a reduction, these
would be forced to
take political action.
w. f. Stewart, an iron worker
of 80 years experience, stated that
a general reduction of wages in.
variable followed a general reduc'
ton of tariff duties. A high pro.
hibitory tariff would inure to the
benefit of the workingmsn, the
and all classes of the
country.

4 SENATOR ASSAULTED.

A Virginia Politician attacks Senator
Riddleberger at the Door Of the son-
ate Chamber Senatorial Privilege
Violated - The scnate's Probable
Action.
From the National Republican
Col. Alexander N. Jones. % Viz
enia politician of some prominence,
has recently had some prr.oualdl'-
iercnces with S,uator ltlddlcbr gen
IN respect TO money matters.
Late yesterday afternoon. when
Jones stood talking toa friend at
the east entrance To the Senate
chamber, Senator lIddicberger
came along and spoke 10 him. The
two conversed fora time, quietly at
first aud then cXcitedly. Jones
called the senator hard names, and
the senator rctortod, "lf justice
were done you would be in the rem
itcntiary"
Jones struck vigorously % the
senator, but failed 10 reach him.
The senator grasped his assailants
arm and held him Oft, saving 4:
"Jones, / don't want to hif you."
An officer came up, and. taking
Jones into custody, ASKED the scna-
tor if he wished To- have hlm locked
up.
"No,7 was the reply. "Let him
go"
Jones was led out Ct the building
and released.
SENATOR RIDDLEBERGEE
was somewhat rcticcnt last night
in regard to this affair, and hc SAID
he would prefer to make 10 state
ment at all about il at present, at
least. Friends of the senator, how
ever, explain the circumstance Of
the matter about AZ follows: Col
Jones has for several years been on
intimate terms with Senators Ma.
hone and Riddlebcrger, and from
time to time, when in straitcncd cir
cumstances, he obtained relief from
both OF the Virginia senators. Lat
terly, Col. Jones, il is said, secured
the Endorsement OF Senator Riddle
berger upon a note for $50, which
note Jones failed 10 protect. II IS
said that this matter WAS the I'M.
mediate cause Of the difficulty yes
terday. Jones, it is said, had again
asked Senator Riddleberger for
further assistance, and the senator
insisted that Jones should first set
tie up the account between them,
whereupon Jones denied any and
all indebtedness to the senator, and
the angry discussion which cnsued
terminated as stated above.
One of the many reports in cir
culatiOn last night was to the effect
that Senator Riddleberger declares
that the incident is only a part Of
a scheme to run him ont ofthc Sen

At Moxley, Ga, there are two
ladies who are twin sisters. Their
maiden name was Scruggs. They
married twin brothers on the same
night, the name OF the latter being
Stephens. Each lady had a boy
and a girl. Their husbands were
injured in the same accident on a
railroad, and two months after
died within a week of each. The
widows sued for damages, and re-
covered between them twenty-five
hundred dollars. With the money,
they engaged in the mercantile
business, in which they continue.

The prospects Of the passage OF

indeed, as introduced by its author,
there ia no reasonable chance of its
becoming law. The bill reported
from the Ways and Means Com.

provisions, stands also in great
danger Of failing TO become a law.
In fact, within the past few weeks
unexpected opposition from the
South has sprung up against the
bill. The South Carolina delega-

if rice is affected, while the Vir-
gina delegation, with but few eI.
ceptions, will join handswith Penn

however. will be oflittle ulterior benefit
if the lesson ofthem is not learned. An

not only be fatuous but suicidal. The
