TROUBLE IN BURMAH.
The Natives Restless Under Britain's Yoke
Reinforcements for Prendergast.

The Natives Restless Under Britain's Yoke
Reinforcements for Prendereast.
LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch of several
thousand words received at the Indian Office
from Lord Dufferin announces the erenewal of dis
turbances in Burmah. The officials say it reports
only a few skirmishes with native bushwhackers
1t is known, however, that the~dispatch has had
very disquieting effect at the Indian Office
Two special dispatches received from Rangoon
and Mandalay, respectively. reveal very grave
state of affairs in upper Burmah. The Ran
COON correspondent reports that troops are being
hurried forward to reinforce General prender-
CAST with all possible speed The number Of
troops now en- route or under orders to join
force with which he achieved the So called con-
quest of the country last November. The
passage of the troops up the lrrawaddy
river is uninterrupted until Mandalay
is reached but north and east of the capital seri-
Gus obstacles are encountered. Scores Of wound
ed and invaided soldiers being brought
down the river daily, and sent to the military
hospitals at Calcutta on the return trips of the
troop ships bringing reinforcements. The Man
dalay dispatch states that the city is only saved
from being in condition of anarchy by the
stern enforcement of martial law. The streets
swarm with redcoats. All assemblages of ma
tives, for whatever purpose, are promptly dis
persed. Suspiciously acting persons are nightly
shot down in cold blood for failing to give salts
factory answers to the patrol guards, and
formal executions ordered by courts martial are
of almost daily occurrence The common peo-
pie are sullen, but submissive The chiefs are
mostly engaged in conspiracies in favor of either
Prince Alompora or Prince Htietsin, tho rival
pretenders to the throne. In the interior the
condition of affairs though not critical, is serious
and disheartening.

MORRISON'S TARIFF.
Workingmen and Manufacturers to Argue Be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee.

Workingmen and Manufacturers to Argue Be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee.
Washington Special.
The workingmen of the country do not pro-
pose to allow the statesmen of the Democratic
party to reduce their wages and take the work
away from them and give it to foreigners with
out protest. No sooner did the telegraph
carry word that fourteen days grace would be
given for hearings before the ways and means
committee than the men most interested in the
tarif-the wage. e.earners-have applied to mem
bers for an opportunity to be heard. First came
the workingmen of Trenton, who will be
heard next Wednesday. The bread winners of
Youngstown, o., next applied, and Major Nc
Kinley will arrange for their hearing. Delega-
tions OF working men are also coming from
Cleveland, o., and Pittsburg to protest against
the removal of all protection from several inn
portant American industries. All along the line
may be heard the murmuring of mastering
hosts getting ready to protest against tariff re-
duction This time it is not only the manu-
facturers. but the labor interests of the country
that are knocking loudly at the door of the ways
and means committee room for hearing on the
self same interests which Mr.. Randall has prom
ised to protect, but which a majority Of his
party now propose to iniure by reducing the
wages and giving part of their work to laborers
in other countries. The Iron and Steel Associ.
alton. represented by it's general manager, Mr..
Swank, will appear before the committee on the
4th. There are other applications for hearing
from associations representing manufacturing
interests, but the days for hearing have not
been fixed.
Some representatives of the wooden interests
were here to-day, and spoke of the Morrison bill
with great disgust Said one Of them: 'Mor.
rison has cut the woolen schedule in its weak
est part but has made no corresponding reduc-
ton in raw wool. Result, importation of the
manufactured article, and to that extent displace-
ment of domestic wool. Is the wool growing in
terest so blind that it cannot see thisP
If the report Of Secretary Manning, which
was sent to the ways and means committee yes
terday after it adjourned, and is now in the
hands of the printer, can be relied upon, the
saving clause of the sugar industry is that which
prohibits any reduction of duty on sugar inn
ported from countries placing an export duty on
sugar. AS three quarters of the sugar comes
from countries levying export duties the reduc-
ton on this schedule will be about So 000 000 in
stead of $40, 000 000 The fact is. none of these
estimates are of any value whatever. The Nor
rison BILL as it stands. is as likely to increase
the revenue as to decrease it.

MINOR MATTERS.

Plans for Cheapening Communication Be
tween the People of the Country.
Special to the Indianapolis Journar.
WASHINGTON Feb. 26.-Penny postage for
letters is not to be attempted by act of this Con-
gress It is probable that some kind of cheap
telegraph service for the people will be tried be-
fore the letter postage is decreased although the
latter proposition meets with great favor. A
bill has been introduced to adopt folding and
self-sealing sheet of paper, on which can be
written letter, to take the place of the postal
card, and to be compromise for penny postage,
but this folding sheet, which makes very
be adopted, as it is a patented article and would
therefore be private monopoly.

The Method by Which Republican Influence
Is Killed in House Committees.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 26-The attempt of the
Democrats on the House committee on ways and
means to apply the gag the other day, in the
consideration of the Morrison tariff bill is pref
ty fair example of the whip-and-spur system
adopted in oil of the committees. The majority
of the ways and means committee wanted to go
right on and finish the bill within few days,
and report it to the House next week. The mi
nority suggested that there were number of
manufacturers and others who were more inter-
ested in this measure than other people, and that
they must be heard as to the effects of the bill
il it became law, and their wishes must be
consulted Finally it was agreed that hearings
will be had, and a nominal attempt to be fair
will be shown until March IL, when no one viii
be heard.
In like manner the gag has been applied in
other committees in the House. For instance.
