The senator., Tarln mn.


The Republicans Of the Senate Finance
Committee have pursued precisely the
same course in making up the tariff bill
which they will submit Cand which the
Senate will adopt as a substitute for the
Mills bill when 1t shall have reached the
Senatel as he.Democrats Of the Ways and
Means Committee did Instead OF giving
the much advertised public hearings to
those interested in.the tariff and then pro-
ceeding TO carefully revise the schedule in
full committee meeting, as the Republicans
OF the House have been saying the Demo
Gratis OF the Ways and Means Committee
ought to have done, the Finance Committee
Republicans have quietly and privately
prepared a bin OF their own upon which
the Democrats have not as yet had a
chance to pass. II repeals all the tobacco
taxes and the tax on alcohol used in arts
and manufactures, reduces the sugar
duties half, and gives compensatory
bounties 90 the sugar-rsiser. It touches
the tariff at only one other point. and then
TO increase duties on worstsd goods so as to
make them equal to the duties on woolens.
They did not quite dare to incorporate the
restoration Of high duties demanded by the
attorneys Of the wool interest at their
meeting here last winter. This bill, they
say, will receive every Republican vote in
the Senate,as they ore the expression on the
taxation plank in the Chicago platform.

the arcade, which is a building covering
over half an acre Of ground, contains the

DAW AGING LETTERS.
ParneIl openly Accused of Com
plleity with Bgurderers.


LONDON, July THE trial Of the libel
suit Of Mr. O'Donnsll against the Times was
resumed to day. Among the letters read
by the attorney general was one from Mr..
Egan, ia Paris, while hs was treasurer OF
the league, dated February, 1881, in which
he satd
"Mr. Psrnell @ here. have spoken to
him about q fuTtaer advance to the A.
fund. He has no objection. We have
agreed that prompt action is called for.n
Afterward Mr. Ezsu wrote: "Mr. Par
nell accepts tae offer made by B.n tmean-
ing Brennsn)
Next WAS most significant letter dated
October, 1881, written sitter Mr. Parnelrs
arrest by Mr. Egan in Paris TO James Carey
in Dublin. He said: II have by post sent
to N. lmesning Mulles, Who was afterward
sentenced to penal servitude for connection
with the Phmnix Park murders) e2OO. He
will give you whist you want. When will
you undertake to get the work done. Give
as value for our money!
The reading of this caused a sensation in
the court. Letters were then produced
which showed that Mr.. Egan supported
Carey from his seat IN the municipal Coun-
ell Of Dublin, and note alleged to be in
Mr.. Parnelrs handwriting and smuReled
from Kilmainham addressed to Mr.. Egan,
saying: "What are these fellows waiting
fori Iuaction ia insxpsdient. Our best
men are in prison. Nothing has been done.
End this hesitancy. Make it hot for old
Forster.n
Further proof tended to show that Mr..
Parneil assisted Mr.. Byrns to escape, and
that after the moral guilt OF Sheridan,
Egan and others had become obvious to
everybody, the leaders Of the League main
tanned communication with them and re-
ceived money from them.
The Attorney General then proceeded TO
read passages from the "Parnellism and
Crime" articles. Mr. O'Donnell's counsel
objected to the selected character OF the
quotations The chief justice remarked
that the plaintiff had deliberately brought
all this upon himself by saying that when
the leading persons OF the League we're
spoken Of be was spoken OF because he
was associated with these persons The
plaintiff had laid only the shadow of a case
before the jury and had failed TO appear in
sae witness box ia the face Of mis- counsei's
undertaking to produce him.
The case was adjourned

GiadiatOrs of old Rome.

It is not TO be denied that it was a splendid
sight when hundred Of the gladiators, who
were to play the ''first act,n so to speak they
were a mere fraction of the performers to
be exhibitedl, came marching in two by two.
They were armed mostly as soldiers, but with
more Of ornament and with greater splendor.
Their helraets were Of various shapes, but
each had broad brim and a visor consisting
of four plates, the upper two being pierced
to allow the wearer to see through them. On
the top, also, there was what one might lilIen
to the comb Of a cock, and fastened to this,
a plum Of horsehair dyed crimson, or Of
crimson feathers.
Some were called ''Saunites, . the name Of an
Italian tribe that oncs nearly brought Rome
to her knees. These carried a short sword
and a large oblong shield; others were armed
as Thracians or as Greeks. Others, again,
were distinguished by the symbol Of a fish
upon their helmets. But the most curious Of
all were those called ''netmen,n WhO were
equipped with a net IN which 30 entangle
their antagonist; having 50 disabled him,
the netmEn stabs him with three pronged
harpoon. These have no helmets, and are
equipped as lightly as possible, for il they
miss their cast they have no hope Of safety
