Vigorous Reply OF the Indiana Senator 60
sherman's Attack ON the AdministrA-
tIon.
WASHINGTON, Jan. AT the conclusion
OF Senator Sherman's speech yesterday,
in which he severely criticised the Presl-
tents message and the Recommendation
for tar1n reduction, Mr.. Voorhees,, OF In
diana, made vigorous reply IN de-
fense of the Presidents message he de-
nounced the statements OF Sherman. Tel
Ter an other Republicans in critic Zing the
Presidents message as insincere and mis-
leading, and asserted that by way OF pre-
paration for the coming Presidential cleo
tion, Republican Legislators aud journals
were endeavoring, by gross mIsrepresents-
ton, to put the Democratic party in an at
litude of hostility TO American manufac-
turlAg interests He said the Presidents
message would bear the light of discussion,
analysis and debate. The frosts Of next
November would blight Republican mis-
representations and rebuke the Republican
Senators who character. zed, as a humbug,
the fearless, sound aud statesmanlike mes
sage Of the President. Mr.. Voorhees, said
the subject OF taxation old the
Government itself, and yet it was az fresh
and full OF interest to-day to the laboring
masses Of mankind as ever at any former
period of the worlds history The con-
traction Of the volume of currency had a.
ways been a policy marked by dis
aster and suffering, and accursed by
every friend of the general welfare of the
country. But when that abominable policy
was still further aided and executed by
snaiching, as it were, the money OF the
people from their very hands at the rate of
$l0,OOO,OC0 a month, without necessity, ex-
cuse or pailiation, every honest mind had
to revolt against such wanton robbery.
It was a crime against every home, every
Preside, and evegy living man and woman
in the United States, it was a crime ma
tional in its proportions, gigantic in its
strength, omnipresent in it's vIsitations and
brutal in its rapacity, and yet, the day be-
fore the recess, the Senator from Colora-
do (Teller) had sneered at the idea
OF the surplus being OF any consequence,
and the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) had
also declared mot by cable from Paris, but
on the floor of the Senate,) that II was for
tunate for the country that there was a sur
plus of So, Coz, 900 in the treasury. 1t would
be policy for that Senator, if he should be
come the Republican candidate for the
Presidency next summer, to explain to tho
people why it was fortunate that the 7
money was gathered into the treasury in
excess of all the uses, prescriptions and
wants of the Government, instead of re.
naming in the pockets of the people.

THE POPE ON EUROPE.

He Laments the Tendency TO Revolution
and Hopes That France VIII Again Be
come the Head of ChristendOm.
ROME, Jan. 4.-The Pope to-day granted
an interview TO Eugene Veuilloff, the dis
tinguished French writer, and his son.
After speaking in high praise of their eff
forts in behalf of the Catholic cause, his
Holiness expressed regret at the present
position OF France, but said he WIS conf
dent that she would rise again 10 her old
place in Christendom and exercise I'M
bounded influence in the world. The Pope
then referred to the state of Europe. He
lamenied the revolutionary spirit fer
menting in many states, and said he
was preparing two encyclicals dealing
with socialism, the license of tho press
and the great power of universal suffrage,
which he considers terribly menacing. He
also intends, he said, TO define certain
points upon which good Catholics have
confused and dangerous ideas. The land
and Irish questions are believed to be the
subjects to which he alluded.
Tue Pope gives the jubilee gift money to
st. Peters treasury to be expended in
progagandism. The artistic articles will
be placed in the museum of the Vatican
and the objects of worship in the vestry OF
st. Peters. All the rest will be gwen 10

VIADUCT DISASTER.

Two Men Killed and Several Injured by the
Fail of a VIaduct at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 6.-The new Cen
trail viaduct gave way yesterday and fell TO
the ground, over sixty feet, with terrific
crash. The huge sleeper used on ;op OF
the viaduct went down with the wreck,
burying fourteen men beneath the debris.
The accident came without a seconds
warning Suddenly the two spans
over Central way fell, as if they were
sawed off from the structure. Two men
were crushed 10 death instantly, and while
their terribly mutilated bodies could be
seen they could not be taken from the
ruins by reason of the great weight piled
on them. One of the spans is 15J feet in
length. Assisi ance was soon at hand and
the work of recovering the dead and
wounded began. II. G. Burton and
a man named Hardy were taken
out dead, while X. d. Hamlin, Charles
Ord, John Borden and Alex Emanelson
were more or less injured Burton lives at
Hazelhurst, Miss. The wounded were all
taken to the hospital for an examination OF
their wounds. 1t is feared all are fatally
hurt. Several men were at work below
the bridge. but all escaped. The traveller,
u huge engine-like affair, runs along the
top of the structure, and by il work is
carried out in advance OF the cantilever
plan. Just in front of the traveller
is a smaller car which holds water
for the engine in the traveller and is
used by the workmen as a tool box. The
accident resulted from oversight in per-
mIttng the water carrier To run too far
out on and off the wooden trestle work in
advance of iron work, as the carrier ran
over the end of the trestle and plunged
downward, carrying the wooden supports
and these in turn crashed against insecure
iron work, carrying down with it the neXt
two spans. Hardy, the first man taken
from the wreck, was an awful sight. He
was pinned beneai h a mass of beams and
iron, and when lifted up his head rolled
into the gutter.
