MORE TARIFF D!scUssiCn.
Another Day of Debate on the sy:is- .ii
 in tho House

Another Day of Debate on the s.:i;- Hii
 in tho House
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-The house s;ent most of yesterday in discussing the tar fl biii
 MT. Caswell, of Wisconsin, opposed tho bill. He favored the entire renova! of Inc duty on sugar, which would take at least s1 of tax from the food of every inhabtant of this country. He criticised the bill because it did not provide for any substantial decrease upon articles of general consumption.
 Mr. Macdonald, of Minnesota, favored the bill, and enlarged upon the injuries to the people by the locking up of the great surplus in the treasury. The bill did not go far enough to suit him. Coal, iron ore and sugar should be placed on the free list.
 MT. Guenther, of Wisconsin, said Repuh- icans generally favored the abolition of the tobacco tax, and on spirits used in the arts, they proposed to abolish the duty on sugar, and in order to foster sugar production would pay bounty to the producer. He was in favor of a revision of the tariff, but he wanted it revised by its friends and not its foes He favored restoration of the wool tariff of 1867, and declared himself firm believer in the tariff that not only met the expenses ot government, but at the same time built uI and encouraged home manufactures, and de- veloped the inexhaustible resources of the country. He argued that the tax on lumber had been great benefit to the people of Wis consin, by keeping out competition from Canada.
 MT. Wheeler, of Alabama, spoke in sup port of the bill, paying particular attention to the free wool clause. He argued that free wool would furnish cheaper clothing to the people without ,injusing the sheep industry of the country.

 to Hear of 1t.
 WORCESTER, Mass, May 5.-Emeline B. Holman, whose murder is said to have been planned by her brother, Luther w. Holman, in Boston, was seen by a reporter yesterday, and she professed entire ignorance of the matter. She greatly shocked at the tidings. She said she had had no quarrel with Luther, and could imagine no motive for such deed.
 In Dece mber last Holman's father died leaving property valued at $25 900, and Miss Emeline B. Holman was appointed executrix Luther w. Holman was to be allowed the use of ::$7 ,OOO Miss Emeline was keeping com pany with gentleman, and Mir Holman conceived the idea, so he says, that the two would be married, and the property left by his father squandered. To prevent this he conceived the idea of either murderin his sister himself or getting some one to do so. He could not nerve himself to do the deed. l Holman's wife and five children live in | Golden street, this city. Mrs c. arlotte Hol- | man, the wife, heard the alleged plot with | unbounded surprise. She said her husband left home last Monday to go to Boston, say l ing he would return yesterday. There was | no ill feeling between him and his sister, Em- | cline and they lived together until recently. She spoke of her husband as a good man, of | whom no such thing could be truthfully said. The property of Moses Holman, deceased, the father, was appraised at s11 300 real and $27, 900 personal Luther w. Holman filed @ petition ill insolvency May 12, 1886, and re- ceived his final discharge Dec. 2 of the same year.
 Some time ago the police were informed by | a man whose name is withheld that Holman had made overtures to him to murder Miss Holman. The man said he had an appoint men5 to meet Holman on Boston common during the night of May 1, at which time the details of the conspiracy were to be ar ranged.
 Inspector Collins, of the Boston police, dis | guised himself and met Holman, who un folded his plot, giving photograph of Miss Holman, plans of the house, etc., to the in- spector in order that there should be no mis- take made in committing the crime, and offering him S1,0OO for doing the job. He said an easy way to kill her would be to run
 a alarming needle into her heart. Another meeting then arranged, and Holman met Thursday night by In spectors Collins and Houghton, both in dis
 guise, and he again told his plan. The in-
 spectors arrested him when he had finished
 his story.
 The murder was to have been committed | last night.

 CHICAGO, May 5.-A special from Mil waukee to The Inter-Ocean says that Alverd Curtis, resident of that city, has distinct remembrance of the circumstances referred to by Senator Ingalls, in reference to the actions of Senator Voorhees, during the war. Mr. Curtis was living at Lafayette, Ind. just before the second election of Lincoln, when Voorhees, parsed through that place on a stumping tour, and made a speech from the rear platform of the train, in which he scored Lincoln in unmeasured terms, and called the northern troops "Lincoln dogs and hirelings" ]" This aroused the old soldiers who were present. and party of them started for a neighbor- ing grocery store to get a rope, amid cries of ''Lynch himp but the conductor, becoming alarmed, signaled the engineer to proceed, which he did just as the men appeared with the rope. Mr. Curtis says that but for the promptness of the conductor in starting the train it would have undoubtedly been another case of too much sympathy with rebels.
