Fiftieth Congress-second Session
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. THE TARIFF BILL.

w
 THE TARIFF BILL
 SENATE.-There was but little morning business, go the tariff bill was quickly taken up, the question being on the amendment of fered by Nr. Jones of Arkansas to admit "hoop or band iron" free of duty instead of taxing it 2-10 of cent per pound.
 MT. Berry said that the proposed tax nlus- trated the absolute injustice of the whole protective idea running through the SenatA substitute. The article in question was not manufactured in the United States, and if the tax were removed that fact would not in- jure any business interest.
 The debate ran far of from the question under discussion, and after 1t closed the causes of the defeat of the Democrats in the last election were brought up, Nr. Reagan claiming that the tariff had not 60 much to do with it as had the veto of the dependent pension bill and Democratic discontent with the Presidents civil service policy.
 The tariff discussion was temporarily in- terrupted, and the presiding officer at two o'clock presented, as the special order for that hour, the Union Pacific funding bill, but as Mr. Allison insisted on proceeding with the tariff bill (and said he would do so until it was concluded) the funding bill went over, retaining all it's rights as 8 special order. The tariff discussion was then re- stunned, and kr. Morgan characterized the proposition to tax cotton ties as a very heart- less and cruel thing. It was the duty of the Senate to try and lift burdens of the south- ern people instead of raising (as the substi- ute proposed) the duty on cotton ties 100 per cent. MT. Morgan continued in long speech in which he urged the necessity of re- moving high taxes.
 Finally the amendment was voted on and was rejected by a strict party vote, yeas IS, nays 25.
 Mr. Coke moved an amendment reducing Rho6 6nEu k<~0 1oren1, but without action on the amend ment the Senate adjourned.

 NEW YoRK, Dec. 12.-At 5 o'clock this morning the Tuekahoe local passenger train on the Harlem railroad ran into freight car that was side-traoked at Bronxvile station about nine miles above Harlem river. The passenger engine was thrown from the track and the passengers on the train were oonsid- erably shaken up, but aside from this no damage resulted.
 The superintendent stated this morning that the heavy wind of last night blew the freight car down the side track 50 close to the main track that the passenger train could not pass without striking it. All trains were from three quarters of an hour to an hour and half late in arriving at the Grand Gen. tral depot,

The nIrminxha,n Tragedy.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Dec. .12.-The jury in the Hawes murder case to-day rendered 6 verdict that both the women and the girl, May Hawes, came to their death at the hands of R. R. Hawes, and that Fannie Bryant and Albert Patterson were accomplices. Two more warrants charging Sheriff Smith with murder were sworn out to-day and he Is again prisoner in jail. It is underssood, however, that his friends have already made mp another bond of $25, ,000 to secure his re- lease. But another warrant will probably be issued for his arrest, and in each case Judge Winkley will require similar amount of security. Where the arresting and bonding process will stop 1t Is hard to tell

Rxhausting the ParneIlftes.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-At the meeting of the Parnell commission today Attorney General Webster, for the Times announced that he would now proceed with the examination of a number of landlords from county Wexford in order to show the condition of that coun- ty Sir Charles Russell, for the Parnellites, protested. He said that the sttornay general had not included Wexford in his opening address. If the other side were going all over Ireland, the area of the inquiry would be increased to an alarming extent. The at- torney general responded that he was bound to prove that league terrorism prevailed in almost every county. Presiding Justice Han nen said that he could only view the future with alarm. The court had been engaged for many days but had not yet arrived at the end of any one branch of the inquiry. Only two branches had been entered upon and sev- eral branches of equal importance remained untouched. He again made an earnest ap- peal to counsel to do their utmost to con- press the inquiry and to avoid wasting years of the life of those engaged in the case.

 OswEGo, N. F., Dec. 12.-During Mrs. Langtry's performance of GAS in Looking Glass" in the Academy of Music tonight, and as the curtain was about to ascend on the last act, there was 8 cry of fire from the rear of the hall, and thick clouds of smoke poured up through 8 large register in the middle aisle. The cracking of the flames was heard underneath the floor, and the large audience arose panic-stricken and rushed for the exits. Cool-headed men sprang upon the stage and called out to the people that there was no danger. Others mounted their chairs in every part of the house and called upon the people to remain cool.
 This succeeded In partly quieting the peo- pie and in two minutes the theater was clear ed, just as the flames burst through the floor. By this time the fire department was at hand and streams of water were poured into the building. The fire was soon ex- ,tinguished. It caught from an overheated furnace directly under the center aisle and near the main entrance. But for it's timely discovery, it would have shut off the people from the main door, and there would have been terrible scenes, as the house was packed. There are two rear exits. Mrs. LangtrY es- capped through the crowd and took refnge in 8 nearby saloon until her carriage found her. The theater was black with smoke before all the people got out
