TARIFF TALK.
Mills Struggle with the Tariff Problem
Prospects of the Bill.

Prospects of the Bill.
copyright. 1855. blythe California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 25th.-Representa
tive Mills, Chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee, who was confined to his
house by a severe cold last week, is reported
much better tonight, and it is expected he
will occupy his seat in the house this week.
1t was reported yesterday that Mills had
lost his mental faculties temporarily, under
the strain of his labors on the tariff bill and
that he was crazy on the subject of the
tariff. While this subject is enough to
make any man who devotes his time to its
consideration crazy, the family of the Texas
Representative emphatically DENY that he
is afflicted with any such malady,
The report Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee drafted by Mills in support of his
measure for tariff revision will probably be
submitted to the House of Representatives
with the bill not later than next Wednes-
day. If any tariff bill is to be passed this
session the Mills bill has by long odds the
best chance of securing a majority in the
House. The Republicans seem to be di-
vided on the question. Some of them
will not agree to the proposed plan of re-
ducing the duty on sugar one-half and on
paying bounty of two cents per pound Oh
homegrown sugar. There is very gen.
cans to any reduction of this tax, only such
as is proposed N Randall's bill. In fact,
the Pennsylvania Congressman's measure
has received but little consideration. The
arguments that he can present, when the
subject comes up for discussion, in sup
port of his measure, are unknown, but
there is no prospect that the bulk of the
Republican votes in the House will come
to reinforce his bill
The minority. being unable to agree
among themselves, are engaged with the
problem of opposing all tariff revision and
of voting for bill that is diametrically op.
posed TO the protection idea. There will
be perhaps dozen Democratic votes cast
against the Mills bill, on account of free
wool and free lumber, but on the other
hand there will be handful of Republic
cans who will vote for the Mills bill on
the ground that some reduction of customs
taxes must be made, even if the measure
as whole is not satisfactory, ON the theory
that it will not do for the party to put itself
in the position of obstructipg revenue re-
form, and that the people of their respect
i've districts demand that the tariff shall be
revised. That the Mills bill will be
amended is certain, and if Randall can get
into it certain reductions of revenue taxes
it may be that he will finally give his APP

SLAUGHTERED INNOCENTS.
A Mother Becomes Desperate land Poi
sons Her Children.

"A mother becomes desperate land Poi
sons Her Children.
NEW YORK, March 25th.-Mrs. Minnie
Lebkuenchaner is locked up at the police
station for poisoning her three children.
The mother is also suffering from the
effects of the poison taken at the same time
She tells pitiful story. Her husband died
two years ago. She had struggled to keep
her children together, but failed. They
were taken from her and sent to the Juven-
lie Asylum only recently.
She got them back with infinite trouble,
opposed by poverty on one side and the
persecution of her husbands relatives on
the other. Work was failing and food get
ting scarce. She foresaw she must lose
them soon and decided TO kill them. On
Wednesday she sent Anthony, the eldest of
the boys, to a drug store with % cents to
buy some rat poison. The child bought 10
cents worth of Rough on Rats.
THEIR TERRIBLE AGoNIEs.
Mrs. Lebkuenehaner stirred it in some
tea and, dividing the draught into three
equal parts, gave it to the boys to drink.
Very soon afterwards all three were taken
ILL., While watching their sufferings the
mother stayed with them all day, going
about the house without exciting the atten-
ton of the tenants. All Wednesday night
anu all gay nuISuay tue little sufferers lay
in their uying agonies, with the mother
lowering about, seeing their little lives ebb-
ing out slowly and surely. They begged
for water, and with the merciless cruelty of
fiend the mother gave them whisky to
drink.
The two eldest drank, and cried that they
were on fire. They begged to be taken out
in the back yard and have the hydrant
turned on them. but their feeble cries found
deaf ear. On Thursday afternoon Charles
died. Three hours later his eldest brother
breathed his last: still the youngest, baby
of years, was left. With two victims of
HER AWFUL CRIME
Lying dead that mother held steadily to
her tiendish purpose. She sat by her dying
child until Saturday morning, when the
little ones grip on life still refusing to
yield she wearied of waiting and went ont
to tell the police.
The mother was committed to the Tombs.
Before being taken to prison she drew the
photographs of her children from her
pocket, and asked if she would be per-
mitted to keep them. When told that she
could, she shouted exctedly, They wanted
10 take my children from me, but they
can't do it now"
