THE IRON MEN

Kick on Even the Senator's Proposed Re
ductIon of Tariff duty.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The Senate
Finance committee is already undergoing
the difficulties that hampered the Ways
and Means committee, namely, the determ-
ined opposition to the protected monopo-
lies against any reduction whatever. The
first cry has come from the most conspicu-
Gus of these, the steel rail monopoly. The
Mills bill made d reduction from $l7 per
ton to Sl1 per ton. The Finance commit
tee has split the difference and put the
rate at $14 per ton, and this WAS thought
TO be 30 liberal that the steel manufactur-
ers would rush to Quay's headquarters
with yalises full of Doodle for campaign
purposes. Instead of this demand has
been made for q continuance Of the pres
ent rate. A demand of this kind implies
that unless it is regarded the party will
have to look elsewhere for its corruption
fund.
A representative of this interest has ad-
mitted that $14 per ton offered ample pro-
lection under existing conditions, but the
argument is made that there will be an in
creased cost of production when the de-
mand becomes greater, which is snticipat-
ed with year or two, then $l7 dollar
tariff would only afford the same protec-
tion that could now be secured by duty
of $14 per ton.

Special Ttlsoram 10 the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The delay of
the House in passing the bill to prohibit
the coming Of Chinese laborers into the
United States, is causing some dissatisfac-
tion among the workingmen Of the coun-
try, who view with unmixed alarm the
continued influx Of this element, especi-
ally upon the Pacific coast. There is,
however, considerable misinfcrmation re-
garding the matter as will be seen by the
by the following statement which was
made 10 your correspondent TO- day by Mr..
Carlisle, theSpeaker of the House: There
has been" said Mr.. Carlisle, mo unusual
delay in the consideration Of the bill, to
which you refer. 1t is bill, as you know,
to carry ont the provisions Of the pending
treaty with China, aud inasmuch as the
treaty has not yet taken effect the passage
of the bill at this time would accom-
plish nothing.
The President Of the United States sent
the Chinese treaty to the Senate on the
10th of March last, and it Was then read
referred to the Committee. On the I'd day
of May it was reported back with amend
ments, and on the 7th day Of May 1t was
ratified with amendments, and of course
must be submitted to the Chinese Govern
ment, and the amendments agreed to be-
fore it can 20 into effect. 1fthe Senate had
ratified the treaty without amendments
there would have been o necessity for the
immediate passage of the bill now pending
in the House, but as have already said
the passage Of bill now would have no
effect until the Chinese Government agrees
to the amendments which would complete
the negotiations by the provisions of the bill
it cannot take effect until after the date Of
the exchange of ratiications, and 20 you
can see that if the bill had been passed
months ago, it would have accomplished
nothing. The Chinese Government may
refuse to accede to the changes in the
treaty proposed by the Senate, and II 80 of
course the whole negotiations will fail.
think, however, that, whether the negotia-
tions are completed or not, the House will
pass the bill before adjournment, 80 that
if the treaty should hereafter take effect,
there will be law to provide for it's exc
cution. There is no reason, therefore, for
any complaint on account of delay In the
House. If anybody is to blame it is the
Senate"

SULLIVAN BUSTED.

The Great John L. q Failure In the Cir
Gus Business.
BOSTON, July 28.-After tonight John
l.. Sullivan will be without circus, and
will once more be left to his own unaided
efforts to gain livelihood.
For a time the show was conducted as
the Doris & Sullivan circus. When it
came to Boston Doris retired and Sullivan
gave out that he was now sole proprietor.
Last evening report that the circus was
attached attracted attention to it for the
first time since it opened here twoweeks ago.
Investigation revealed that no attachment
had been placed upon the property simply
however, because Sullivan did not have
the slightest claim on any portion of it or
have dollar invested in it. But an own
er presented himself in the person Of a
Mr.. Holmes, proprietor Of the Standard
Museum in Brooklyn, N. Y, who came
here in response to the warning of legal
adviser that financial trouble was brew
ing. He says he owns TIM entire estab.
lishment and shall take it TO Brooklyn
after the performance this evening.
II seems that Sullivan has been taking
the receipts and allowing the employees to
20 without pay until they became too
troublesome. Holmes says the show could
have been made to pay the proper manage
ment, but he wants nothing more to do
with Sullivan.

Quay Wants to Run the Republican Cam
paign With.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2S-Matters were
more lively around the Republican State
headquarters to-day than they have been
any day since Chairman Cooper opened mp
business for the campaign. There were
the chairman and an ex-chairman on hand,
besides Senator Quay and Chris Magee, OF
Allegheny county. Edwin s. Stewart and
Msgee dropped in early in the day, the
latter having run up from Cape May,
where he is spending the summer. Then
came George Won Bonnhorst, chairman OF
the Allegheny County Republican COM
mittee, and E. F. Acheson, who used to
head the Washington county committee.
They all had little pow-wow with Sena-
tor Cooper, who gave them every assurance
that PENNSYLVANIA will 90 Republican this
year.
Colonel Quay is understood to have re-
solved on plan of campaign in his own
mind which will be divulged as the can
vass proceeds. II is likely that ne may
make flying trip to Indianapolis for
chat with General Harrison. In Demo-
cratic circles it is given ont that he has
asked for fund Of $1,000, 900 to start
business.

For Congress, Thomas H. B. Staggers

The Bridge Jumper Runs Away With q
Pretty Albany Girl.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ar
rested Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper and
sport, at his saloon on the Bowery tonight.
on the charge of abduction. Gertrude
Lord, who was 16 years old last April,
was arrested with Brodie at his saloon.
The charges are made by MIR. and Mrs
Lord, of Albany, and telegram which
they sent yesterday to the Children's So
ciety was the cause of the arrest. Bro
die, when brought before Sergeant Col
den, offered to marry the young. lady
He said that he became acquainted with
Miss Lord about two years ago at the
house of a relative in Albany. On his
visit to Albany about two weeks ago, when
he was making trip on the Hudson in q
rubber suit, he stopped at the house of the
Young lady. The Lords kept boarding
house, and knew nothing of the intimacy
between the bridge jumper and their
daughter.
When Brodie finished his swim, he was
met by Miss Lord in New York, and took
her to his house, where he lives with his
two children by former wife. The girl
is very pretty. Brodie will spend the
night in cell. The girl is in the custody
of the society.

NINE DAYS OF SUFFERING.
Rescuers Nearing John Anderson-H
Dangerous Position.

Rescuers Nearing John Anderson-His
Dangerous Position.
OMAHB, NRB, July 2S.-John Ander-
son has passed the ninth day in the well at
Johnstown, Neb.
Food and water have been given him
regularly and he is gradually growing
stronger.
The rescuers work as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit in removing the dirt
from above. This has to be done with the
utmost caution, as the displacipg Of one
board or the giving way of any part of
the earth On which his frail platform rests
is liable to precipitste Anderson to the
bottom of the well, 100 feet below. The
old curbing is about all that'is covering
him now. This has formed into the roof
of the box in which he is imprisoned and
to get at him from the top hole must be
cut in this roof.
An effort was made to saw through the
roof, but it was abandoned, as the sand
commenced to cave in and Anderson's
platform sank two inches. The greatest
hope of his release now is on account of
the fact that tools have been passed into
BIN and he works as hard IA his strength
will permit in bracing the platform. The
danger of gorging himself after his long
fast is now past, and he eats with relish
and svidity all the food that is passed in
to him.

CONVN'IS
SHIPPED WHOLESALE TO AMERICA.
Tho Disclosures Before the Investigating
Committee.
ORGANIZED SOCIETIES FORHE
To Rid Europe Of Her Paupsrs and Convick
Through Emigration.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The committee
investigating emigration affairs heard Paul
Wolff, the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Staatz Zeitung. He stated
that some three years ago he was informed
that there were several societies in Ger
many and especilly Bavaria, formed for the
purpose of sending discharged criminals to
this country. Government inquiry at that
time resulted in the denial of the existsnce
of such societies, but witnesses read ex-
tracts from the reports of one Of these 30
cieties, showing that in 1883, twenty-seven
discharged convicts were sent to this
country by these societies. The reports
Gays the worse the men are and the larger
families they have, the better fitted they
are to be sent to America.
Witness says that these societies are not
government affairs, but that the Royal
Councillor Rauer is President and Prince
Regent Luitpold is Honorary President OF
this society. In 1886 their report is more
cautiously worded, but it shows that of
IA, 900 marks expended nearly half was
used to assist emigrants to this country.
At this point Mayor Hewitt interrupted
the proceedings to shake hands with the
committee and urge upon them an invita-
ton to spend Sunday with him at his
country seat. When he left the examins-
ton proceeded.
The witness had no statistics for the
year 1887, but said that he knew of cases
occurring this year. About two months
ago, he said, two mtn came over on the
