THE TARIFF BILL.
frOm the Report of the House
Committee.

The Louisville "Courier-J ournal's'
Washington special March 29th, gives
| long extracts from the majority report of
! the Committee on Ways and Means on
the tariff bill. 1t says: ''There are only
! two ways to prevent an excessive accum-
ulation in the Treasury, to reduce the
taxation or raise the expenditures.
There is but one safe course. the reduc
ton of taxation to the necessary require
ments of the Government. In the pro-
gressive growth of our manufactures we
have reached point where the capacity
to produce is in excess of the require
ments of home consumption, and as a
consequence many mills are closed and
many are running on short time Pro-
hibitory tariffs surround the country
with lines of investment and prevent re-
lief from without, while trusts, combina-
tons and pools plumber the people
within. What is the remedy for this
wrong? More extended markets for the
sale of our products and constant and &C
tive competition in business. With the
markets of the world open to us our
manufacturers may run their mills on
full time, give constant employment to
laborers with steadily increasing wages,
create an active and constant increasing
demand for the raw materials required
in manufacturing which will stimulate,
promote and reward the wool-growers
nd of
hides, ores and other materials
SIN starting out this policy we have
transferred many articles from dutiable
to the free list. The revenue now re-
ceived on these articles amount to $685.
$780, sos. Three-fourths of this amounts
collected on articles that enter into man
ufactures, of which wool and tin plates
are the most important. The repeal of
all duties on wool enables us to reduce
the duties on manufactures of wool $12,-
332, 211 IS. There is no greater need for
a duty on wool than for duty on any
other raw material. We have put wool
on the free list to enable the manufact-
urer to obtain foreign woods cheaper, to
make his goods cheaper and thereby sue
cessfully compete with the foreign man
ufacturer. We say to the laborer, we
here put wool on the free list so that it |
may be imported and he may be en-
ployed to make goods that are now
made by foreign labor and imported |
into the United States, that the con- |
sumner may have wooden goods |
cheaper; to the woolgrower that we put |
it on the the free list to enable the
manufacture to import foreign
wool to mix with his and thus enlarge
his market and quicken the demand for
the consumption of home wool while it
lightens the burden of the taxpayer
On sugar the report says: eve have
raised the revenue received from sugar
about 20 per cent. The rate of all sugars
above No. Is is reduced, so that foreign
refined sugars may be imported to pre-
vent high prices and protect the con-
sumner against combinations.
The bill, the report says, provides for
he repeal of all restrictions on the sale
If tobacco by the producer and the re-
peal of all taxes on tobacco except cigars,
cigarettes and cheroots.

Object OF the Congressional Commit
tee of Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE investiga-
ton of the manner in which the Alaska
Commercial company has carried out its
contract with the United States respecting
the Alaska fur seals began to-day with the
testimony of several former special agents
of the government at the Seal islands, in
Guiding George Wardman, now the editor of
the Pittsburg Penny Press. Nothing
especially new was developed The entire
investigation will probably be carried on
here, since it will probably be impossible for
the committee to go to Alaska this season.
The committee will make its investigation
as thorough and comprehensive as possible,
so as to get as accurate information as
possible about all the mooted Alaska ques-
ton, so as to make a report to congress
upon which it can intelligently act when
it comes to consider what it shall do with
Alaska when tho Alaska commercial com
pany's twenty-year lease runs out, in 1890.
The information heretofore presented to
congress about the present condition and
future prospects of Alaska, to say nothing
of that about the doiugS of the Alaska
commercial company, is fatty contradic-
tory. The house committee will now try
to get the truth

voted to short talks by prominent mem
bers of the society. All of the delegates
who spoke gave glowing accounts of the crop
prospects and predicted large yields. Some
of them had not seen such fine corn crops
since the war, and most of the crops we're
announced as made. Cotton was reported
as being in fine condition with ample evil
dence that the crop Will be large. The citi-
zens OF Newman gave the society handsome
barbe ne, which passed off successfully.

PRESIDENTIAL VETOES.
Three Pension Claims and a Printing
Bill on the List

Three Pension Claims and a Printing
Bill on the List.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The senate this
afternoon resumed consideration of legis-
lative business.
The Presidents veto messages in three
pension cases were read and referred Two
of the bills were for the widows of soldiers,
and in each case the President holds that
the cause Of death was not attributable to
military service. In the other case where
the pension granted was 500 the name Of
tho widow is not given, and she had re-
married and again become a widow.
UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHERE INJURED.
IN the third case, where the pension was
for disability, the President failed to find
any reasonably satisfactory proof that it
was incurred ia military service.
Another message returning, without ap-
proval, the joint resolution for the printing
of additional copies of the United States
map, prepared by tho commissioner of
public lands, edition Of 1886, gave
as reason for disapproval the Presidents
supposition that the edition intended was
that of 1887, which was later, better and
cheaper. This message was referred to tho
committee on printing, and then, after a
very short secret session, the senate at 5
o'clock adjourned

Mr.. MORGAN SHOWS THE REPUB-
LOANS UP IN A BAD LIGHT.

The Mistaken Idea ofthe New England
Senators in Surprising That Their
Triokery sis Very Smart-Mr. Beck
Points Out the Inability of the Presi-
dent to Work the Retaliation Scheme
WASHINGTON, Aug. lin the senate
to-day Mr. Reagan introduced bill, which
was referred to the committee on commerce,
requiring the officers and at least three
fourths of the crew of every United States
merchant whaling and fishing vessel to be
either native bora or naturalizsd citizens of
the United States.
The senate at 1920 o'clock, by a vote of
"a to 20, resumed consideration of the fish
cries treaty in open executive session, and
was add "essed by Mr.. Morgan. He ex-
pressed himself as more and more impressed
with the belief that the attitude in which
the government would be placed at the
conclusion of these proceedings would be
very embarrassing, and probably one OF
great danger, so far as the peace OF the
country was concerned, or at least so far
as the guietness and proper progress OF
commercial affairs was concerned.
SEA OF TURMOIL,
He believed that after the treaty had
been rejected by the senate, the country
would again be abroad on that sea of tur
MOL that had so long agitated it on the
fisheries question, that renewed difficulties
would be found in the way, and that the
American people would he found hardly in a
state Of preparation to receive with com
posture the necessary outcome and result of
the senate'S action. Much time was occu-
pied by Mr.. Morgan in reading from diplo-
matte correspondence on the S bject of
American fishing vessels during the last
half century.
THE ONLY CHANCE TO RETALIATE.
In the discussion of the question of fresh
fish, Mr.. Beck suggested to Mr.. Morgan the
fact that while the tariff bill was pending
in the house no New England member had
ventured an amendment imposing tax on
fresh fish, and that therefore the President
could not, under the retaliatory law, place
inhibition on fresh fish, but would have, if
he interfered with Canadian trade Mt all, to
stop the subsidies paid by the Canadian
railroad companies to railroad companies In
Maine and Vermont.
Mr.. Morgan assented to this proposition,
ard remarked that the New England soma
tors and fishing vessels had thought that
they were putting up the smartest sort of
job i'll trying to corner great power. 1t
was case of mere artiflce and fnesse.
When Mr. Morgan had reached in his argu-
ment the question of the protocol of 1885,
all arrangement modus rirendi, he said he
would reserve discussion of that and other
questions till tomorrow.

house go into committee of the whole for
consideration of the general appropriation
bills.
Mr. T ownshend of Illinois, championng
the opposition Of the military committee to

speaker what bill would be considered if
the motion should prevail
The speaker declined to state, declaring
that that was matter to be determined by
the chairman of the committee of the
whole.
Mr.. Townshend then addressed himself to
Mr. Sayers and asked that gentleman what
bill he proposed to consider

getting into committee.

A BoMBsHELL ON PAPER.
An Ante-Belium Editor of Charleston
Assails leading Citizens.


CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. IA political
religious bombshell was exploded this after
noon by the publication of a letter from
Col. John Cunningham, one of the old-time
bourbons and ante-bellum editors. Col.
Cunningham was a famous editor in his
day, before tho war, and at one time figured
prominently in the fed of honor and of
politics He is spirtiualist by faith anl
attends regularly the weekly meetings OF
the spirituaiists here.
Maj Franz Melchers, editor of the
Deutsche Zsitung, being the pastor, is the
leader of the flock. Col. Cunningham'S
letter is devoted to politics from religion
point of view, and has stirred up very
lively sensation.
WHAT HE SAYS.
He says that the political rings in
Charleston are the direct work of the
Jesuits, and he charges F. w. Dawson,
editor of tho NetoS and Courier, and Hugh
Ferguson, the sheriff, with being the agents
of the Jesuits. Col Cunninghan's letter
virtually charges that the native Carolini-
ans in the ring" have hired the Irish
to do their dirty work. He also
charges that the Roman Catholic papacy
claim the right. and try to obtain and ex-
erclse the power to rule all mankind IN
matters of religion and creed, government
ana politics, society and mo! ais, men ana
women, personal or associate, and alike
their consciences, minds, private affairs and
pockets, ard also education, and even
science and knowledge based on or derived
from Gods natural facts.
GROWING BITTER.
I'm the face of this enormous phenomenon
of human insolence and pretension," SAYS
Col Cunningham, "rhe impudent assump-
tions of its representatives here in our local
politics, such fellows as F. w. Dawson and
Hugh Ferguson, backed up by all tho
power of a thrifty paper, are more sigaifi-
cant and potent nj than such individuals by
their personal standing could be in either
influence or effect"
at is KNOWN" he continues, that the
Pope has, through his cardinal at Baltimore,
issued the dictum of the Roman Catholic
church corporation, whose center is in Italy
and at Rome, against the system of Amer
can free education. The real and ultimate
object is to control American education,
aed subordinate it TO the papacy, and thus
secure an ecclesiastical despotism."
The letter has set the town by the ears,
and will probably load to some lively scenes.

A HATFIELD-M'COY FIGHT.

Three of the Former Killed and Two
Wounded-Two McCoy's Wounded.
CArLETTsBURG, KY, Aug. 4.-There is
trouble again in Pike county between the
Hatfields and McCoys. Frank Phillips,
sheriff of Pike county, who made the former
arrests and whose daring deeds made him
famous, seems to be the coveted prize of the
West Virginlans, who seem destined to get
his scalp. The trials of the Hatfelds were
set for Pikefield yesterday Last
week Sheriff Phillips was out
through the country securing witnesses,
and when in the neighborhood of Better
creek, of the former bloody encounter,
he was approached by three men, who
claimed to be detectives, and who demanded
his surrender Sheriff Phillips replied by
whipping out his revolver and opening fire
on the trio. He shot the belt off one Alex
ander, who is well known here. and secured
his three revolvers. No one was hurt i'll the
melee Tho three retreated minus their
hats, weapons, etc.
SEEKING REVENGE.
The next day they returned with nine re-
cruit, in search of Sheriff Phillips and his
body guard, and the West Virginians were
again repulsed. Sunday, the Hatfield squad,
to the number of sixty, passed the mouth
of Better creek, and Capt. Hatfield told an
old miner that tie had better leave, or there
would be trouble. Shortly after he heard a
skrmish between the Hatfelds and McCsys,
the latter being forty-five strong and lying
in wait for their enemies.
After the smoke of the battle had cleared
away, it was discovered that three of the
Hatiolds were killed and two wounded,
while three of the McCoys were slightly
wounded. The end is not yet, but the Ken
tuckians have the best of them, inasmuch
as they are thoroughly organized and well
armed.

CHINE. e IMMIGRATION.
The Senate Bill to be Slightly Amended
in the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The house com
mittee on foreign affairs succeeded in get
ting quorum together this morning, and
instructed Mr.. McCreary to call up in the
house next Saturday the bill to give effect
to the Chinese treaty. A few formal
amendments to the senate bill will be
recommended by the committee, tho most
important being one to repeal conflicting
acts, which was presumably omitted shy
the senate through inadvertence. Although
these amendments are purely formal, they
are regarded as essential to the perfect in
tent of the measure and their adoption by
the house will necessitate the return Of the
bill to the senate and further action by that
body before II can take tho form Of law.
