DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES
Enunciated in the Tariff Bill of
Mr.. Mills.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Represent-
ative Scott, of Pennsylvania, is quoted
by the Sunday Herald as saying that
the tariff bill "enunciates the princi-
pies of our party and sets forth its
platform. If we have not enough
strength in the house to pass this meas
ure in some form, and make reduction
in the revenue of the government, the
only thing we can do is to do the very
best we can and then go before the
country on our record. If l
had consulted the interests of my own
locality and not looked beyond my dis
trict l would have antagoniZed the free
wool proposition, but without free wool
there is no use in having tariff reform.
This wool question has been the bone
of contention for many years, and it
was thought best to make it one of the
principal features of the present tariff
bill. The Republicans will do every
thing they can to delay final vote on
the tariff until after our convention,
June 5. We, on the other hand, will try
to pass the measure in some form as
early in May as possible, SO as to give
the senate time to tackle it. We will
then take action in the convention Ou
the party'S work on the tariff. Mr..
Randall, with his Republican protec-
tionists, may be able to repeat his tao
tics of last session, but l don't think he
would dare delay final action on the

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 1s.-Sam-
uel Wilson, a lumberman, with his wife
and four children, lived in a wild sec
ton of the Green river bottoms, about
fifty miles south of this city, near Cal
houn, KY. He was recently engaged in
gathering hoop-poles. His hogs and
chickens having become the prey OF
timber wolves, he poisoned a quarter OF
hog meat to destroy the thieves. BY
some serious negligence he had omitted
to take it from the smokehouse, and the
meat was uneonsciously prepared by
his wife for their dinner Thursday.
The meat was scarcely swallowed be-
fore all became sick and rapidly grew
worse. Within two hours all were
HELPLESS, and were found in this condl-
tion toward nightfall by a logger who
chanced that way. Help was quickly
summoned, but it was unavalllng, as
during the night three of the children
died, and Friday the father, mother ana
other child died in great agony. Their
bodies in the meantime had swollen to
enormous proportions from the, effects
of the poison, just as though they had
been bitten by rattlesnake: All were
buried yesterday near their desolate

May Reside in Paris.

PARIS, March 1s.-Gen. BOulanger to-
day departed unnoticed for Clermont-
Ferrand. The Liberte says that the
minister of war has given Gen. Boulan-
ger permission to reside i'll Paris. The

vote for Gen. Boulanger, the represen-
tative of public liberties and democratic
reforms at home and dignity abroad.
The anniversary of the insurrection
in Paris was celebrated by the COM

notable feature of the gatherings was
the denunciation of Gen. BOuianger in
which the speakers indulged. The

SWITCHING RESUMED,
Though No Burlington & Quincy
Cars Are Being Handled.


The switch engines in the different
railroad yards in Minneapolis were
working yesterday as usual, but, it be-
ing Sunday and very little switching
being required on that day, less than
half of them were called out. The
freight cars, which had been loaded
Saturday forenoon in the st. Paul, Min
neapolis 81 Manitoba yard, and which
were delayed on account of the en-
gineers leaving their engines, were
all switched out and made up
into trains. No Chicago, Bur
lington Il Quincy cars were switched
and the engineers were not asked to
switch them. All the roads except the
Manitoba can get along very well with
out handling these cars, and will prob
ably have no trouble, but the Manitoba
has a contract with the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy to do all its switching
at Minneapolis, and can be held under
its contract. A train of freight cars
came in yesterday off the Chi
cago, Burlington & Northern, which
lington e Quincy, and the
st. Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba will
be expected to handle them, and unless
some understanding can be arrived at,
in regard to handling these cars, there
is liable to be more trouble. The full
complement of switch engines for duty
in the Manitoba yard to-day were
marked on the blackboard at the round
house to commence work at a. m.,
with the same engineers who refused
Saturdayto switch Chicago, Burlington
d Quincy cars. This looks as though
the engineers had either given in, or
that the Manitoba was not going to
switch the cars of the c., B. u @.

LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN
n the movements of trains and the gen
eral feeling was that the strike was
over. AS one of the men mounted his
engine to take out a train, an old en-
gineer, standing in group near by,
surned to his companions and said:
well, boys, fall in; the last man to go
back will be the one who gets left. It's
,nly matter of time now." His pre-
iiction was verified when at o'clock
Chairman Conroe'S notice was issued.
The men took the matter philosophic-
illv, and this evening nearly all OF
them present in the city were
applying TO Assistant Supt. Spoor
for orders, transportation, etc. Chair
nan Conroe returned from Topeka
this morning, where he had been in
conference yesterday with Gov. Martin
and the Santa Fe officials. He at once
called meeting of the committee here,
and it is understood that the prepara-
tory steps toward issuing the notice
was taken at this meeting. Chairman
Conroe quietly boarded the Rock Island
express for Chicago at 1870 O'Clock this
afternoon and was fifty miles out OF the
city by the time his notice was promul-
gated. The prevailing opinion here is
that the conference at Topeka had con-
siderable influence toward bringing
about settlement. The eX-strikers
here assert that the company has agreed
not to haul Burlington freight.

Yesterday afternoon large meet
ing of the brotherhood was
held at the hall, corner of
Sixth and Robert, and was followed
by consolidated meeting in the even
ing. This one was wildly enthusiastic
and many were unable to gain entrance
to the hall. Just what the result OF
these two meetings was is unknown,
but a leading engineer made the FOL
lowing statement to GLOBE reporter
last night:
1--WE will positively go out on one OF
more roads within the next twenty-four
hours. One is a positive turnout and
the other almost as positive. We can
not help this status 05 affairs, and to the
managers of the railroads is due all the
blame. We have done every thing to
avoid the issue and save annoyance TO tne
public, but all know how dishOnorably
the railroads broke their agreements
with us. We have been holding OFF and
holding off from day to day ana nave
thus weakened our cause in the eyes OF
the public, though, of course, there has
not been the slightest weakening on our
part. The public cannot blame us, for
the managers of the railroads have
forced the ISSUE"
The gentlemen were rather reticent
and feel that the time has come to act.
They religiously kept their pledges OF
secresy and would not divulge the
names of the railroads on which it is
expected the turnouts will occur. From
the best of indications, however,
they are the St. Paul &
Duluth and the Manitoba roads, the
latter more particularly, as it's violation
of the agreement, the engineers say, has
been most fragrant. On every hand,
they say, they have been victimized, and
| the roads have showed ''Q'' business on
every road and on every Occa-
sion they could. The engineers, in
order to save their companies expenses.
religiously adhered to their agreement
and naturally feel indignant over the
treatment they have received.
"Inside of twentY-fOur hours" said
the engineer, 'the crash will come and
the public knows we are not to blame ;

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
ingalls, has been having considerable
sport with Washington newspaper men
during the past week. Scarcely day
has passed since the publication Of the
letter received by the senator from Col.
Finley Anderson, of New York, without
several inquiries having been made as
to when he would reply to it. The SEN

Saturday night as the time when his
answer to Col. Anderson would be ready
for publication, and said that all who
desired copies might receive them by
applying at the senator's residence at
6 80 O'Clock; so yesterday evening there
was great rush by newspaper men to
the senator's residence. when copies of
the reply were handed to them. 1t con-
tanned but two lines, merely acknOwl-
edging the receipt of Col. Anderson's
communication. There was at first con-
siderable disappointment, but after
wards the matter was looked on by cor
respondents as quite joke. Comment
ton Post says: 1.-The brevity of Senator
Ingalls, letter is accounted for by three
reasons-by the estimate in which he

tutional privilege which protects him
from outside accountability for what is
said in the senate Tor, to put it the other
way, the constitutional provision which

A CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE
outside the halls of congress, and thirdly,
his fondnesS for playing just such lit
tie joke as i'll this case he played on the
newspaper reporters and the public,
and as Senator Ingalls, does not discuss
the matter by letter with Col. Finley
Anderson, it is not likely he will discuss
it in letter to anybody else. Neither
will he, of his own act, reopen the de-
bate in the senate, but there is reason
open for prOvocation, and if any provo
cation is given in the senate he will no
doubt seize the opportunity to supple
ment his former remarks. Since the
delivery Of that speech. less than two
weeks ago, letters have been coming to
the senator in basketfuls, some of them
full of hostile criticisms and denuncia-
ton, many of them anonymous and con-
tanning nothing but simply the name
which best expresses the writer's Opin-
ion of the senator. In one or two the

the head of the department who con-
