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

Copyright. lSSS, blythe California associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 25th.-Representa
tive Mills, Chairman OF the WAYS and
Means Committee, who was confined to his
house by 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-
duclng the duty on sugar one-half and on
paying bounty of two cents per pound OH
homegrown sugar. There is very gen.
eral feeling of opposition among Repnbli-
cans 10 any reductlOn OF this tax, only such
as is proposed N Randalls 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 Republi-
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 ap-
proyal.

the winning run in the ninth inning. The
score stood 2 to 8 in favor of tbs VISIT

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-

She got them back with infinite trouble,

persecution of her husbands relatives on
The other. Work was failing and food get

them soon and decided TO kill them. On
Wednesday she sent Anthony, the eldest of
the boys to drug store with % cents to
buy some rat poison. The child bought 10
cents worth of Rough on Rats.
THEIR TERRIBLE AGoNIEs.
Mrs. Lebkuenchaner 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

mother stayed with them all day, going
about the house without exciting the atten-
ton of the tenants. All Wednesday night

were on fire. They begged to be taken out

a deaf ear. On Thursday afternoon Charles

The statute prohibits the engaging of for

gaging foreign Iaborers is 81 200 for each

The managers of the smelter say they
have a good defense. The men were en-

The smelter people, when released by the

Little Prospect of Congress Passing ANY
Chinese Restriction Bill.
sCopyigh. 1855. blythe Calf associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 25th.-The present
outlook for the passage of any anti-Chinese
legislation at the present session of Con-
gress is very dubious. There are not more
than three months of the present session
remaining. The tariff debate and the ap-
preparation bills will consume most of this
time.
The Senate has not complied with the
Presidents request that the Chinese treaty
and message accompanying it shall be made
public as soon as the treaty has been rati-
lied. Secretary Bayard has prepared bill
which be thinks will carry the provisions
of the new instruction into effect, and
which will be offered in both Houses of
Congress. That any bill can pass at this
late day of the session is extremely doubt
full.
Representative Morrow has persistently
urged upon Belmont, of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, who is also Chairman OF the
subcommittee appointed TO consider Chi
nese legislation, the necessity for consider
ing the Chinese restriction bills referred to
that committee, but Belmont does not
respond. He is awaiting developments
that are apparently as far from being real

A general alarm was sent out over the
