The House Ways and Means Majority in
Peek of Trouble.
Copyright, 1888. BY De California associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 14th-The Ways and
Means Committee are in peck of trouble.
Proposed amendments to the tariff bill con-
tinue to How IN upon the committee. An
other batch was received to-day, and it is
known that many others are in course of
preparation. The Democratic members of
the committee have already held several
meetings to discuss amendments, but up
to the present time final action has not been
taken IN the case of single amendment.
Hearings have been given TO half dozen
Representatives upon the subject matters
OF the amendments proposed by them, but
the effect has not been to simplify the la
bors of the committee, because of wide
variance of views expressed by Representa-
tlves upon identical clauses of the bill.
One Democrat, for instance has proposed
to put finishing building-sto on the free
list, while placing a light duty on rough
stone. Others ask for free building-stone
IN the rough blocks, and protection for
the dressed product.
The New York member offers an amend
ment to change the existing law in exactly
the manner already proposed by the bill
while prominent Western member wants
particular article of manufacture placed
on the free list.
These differences of opinion have in
creased the difficulty experienced by the
Democratic members of the committee in
dealing with the amendments, and for this
reason the additional time afforded by the
extension of the general debate in the
House is considerable relief to them.

Carly began to use the lash on the favorite,
but at the eighth pole it was evident to all
that it was no use. Macbeth was running
easy, with his head up and without the
least bit of urging. Gallifet was working
hard and as Macbeth passed under the

severely punished and ready to quit.

The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the tariff bill.
Hatch of Missouri said the protective
tariff had Injured to the benefit of manuiact-
urers alone, and the farmers and consum-
ing masses had no share in those benefits.
He was opposed to the present system of
protection, and regretted that the pending
bill preserved every single feature of that
system. The measure was simply modi-
fcation and reduction, but the principles of
protection were fastened on the country,
and all that could be hoped for to-day and
all the bill sought to accomplish was a
reduction of the amount of taxation col
1ected by the Government and put into the
Treasury. He argued at length in favor
CT the pending bill
Symes of Colorado said the President
had shown an entire want of comprehen-
sion of the whole tariff system when he
told the farmer in one paragraph that a
protective tariff was wrong, and in Ethe
next attempted to show the manpfacturer
that he would be benefited by the placing
of raw materials on the free list. The
President had forgotten or ignored the fact
that the placing of raw materials on the
free list would ruin the agricultural, min
ing and other industries of the country.
He argued that it was the CAPITALIST
monopolist and importing merchant, and
those who derived their income from bonds
and some other investments, who were
clamoring for free trade, and that il was
the employer, the workiDgman and those
who built up the industries of the country
who demanded a protective tariff. He
would make protection of American labor
secure from foreign competition-the key
stone IN the arch of American institutions
He would protect the laboring men Of
America from the importation and immi-
grafton of convict and pauper laborers, as
well as from the importation Of the pro-
ducts of their work.
Funston of Kansas argued in favor of
protection.
ONeill of Indiana argued for putting
lumber, coal and iron on the free list, be-
cause he thought in those products the
country could compete with the world
without there being any tariff on them.
Thompson of Ohio spoke in opposition
to the pending measure aud said the surplus
should be devoted to rebuilding the navy !;
to restoring our commercial marine to the
proud position it once occupied to the de-
velopment and improvement of internal
transportation TO the payment of liberal
pensions to the old soldiers who have made
all promise of our future possible. The

NoGALEs, May 14th-Roling, the man
arrested at Huachuca yesterday, and said
to be the leader of the train robbers. was
brought here last night on a special train.
and is now confined in the Jail on the
American side of the line. He denies com
plicity in the robbery, and says that the
Mexican who was with him, and whom he
parted with about mile from Huachuca,
was one of the robbers, but does not say
how he learned this, nor how he came to
be travelling with the Mexican.
The Mexican, after parting with Rolling.
took the saddle off his horse and turned
him loose and took to the hills on foot.
The party of Sheriff Shaw's posse that left
here on q special yesterday remained ar
Huachuca and secured the country about
there. They followed the trail till it struck
the public road, where they lost ii and re-
turned here to-day without capturing him.
Several parties are in pursuit, and they
are likely to get him. Taylor, the
other man under arrest, gave description
to-day Of the Mexicans who he saws were
in the gang, and the Mexican officials claim
to know their whereabouts and are conf
dent of arresting them.
1t is believed that Rolling is q brother Of
Taylor, and going under an assumed name.
1t is reported that Taylor says he sold
Winchester rifles to Mexicans, whom he
described this morning, and that he gave
one OF them his hat, which was found at
the scene of the robbery. Also. that he
was at Aqua Zarica at the time of the rob
berry, but didn't do any shooting.

pany's Mill Near Truckee.
TRUCKEE, May 14th The sawmill of the
Pacific Lumber and Wood Company at
Clinton, owned by Mrs. NJ E. Burckhslter.
was burned last night. The fire was dis.
covered on the right side of the mill near
the planer, great distance from the en-
gine-room. The flames spread rapidly, and
in few moments enveloped the entire
building.
The Truckee fre-train went down and
saved the lumber-yard, but the mill and
sla5-pile were total loss. The damage is
estimated at $4,000; partially insured.
Two Chinese cooks were employed at the
mill last week. being the first Cinnamon
employed in this vicinity for three years.
Several white men quit work on this ac-
count, ard much bitter feeling prevailed in
the community. The fire was, no doubt.
the work of an incendisry.
Fred Taft, manager of the mill, is in Salt
Lake, but W. NJ. Burckhalter states that
the mill will be rebuilt Immediately. The
company has 100000 feet of logs on hand.
and expected busy and prosperous season.
