LUMBER MUST COME DOWN.
The Post tomorrow will say: The
members of the Senate Committee hav-
ing charge of the Tariff bill, have decided
to offer an amendment making the duty
ON lumber $3.50 per thousand feet, re-
duction of 25 per cent. in the bill as
reported from the Committee. 1t was at
first proposed to make the duty $1.25,
but compromise on the $3.50 rate was
secured by the Senators of the North
west. A proviso will be inserted that
this rate shall be conditional on Canada
removing her export duty on lumber.

ate-Mad Republicans.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 10.-The Fifty
sixth General Assembly of Indiana con-
vened this morning. The Democrats in
caucus had determined to repeat their
action of two years ago and refuse to rec
ognize the authority of the Republican
Lieutenant Governor, Robertson. Ac-
cordingly large crowds gathered about
the Senate chant ber this morning in an
ticipation of seeing personal encounter.
Colonel Robertson arrived early, and was
refused admittance by the door-keeper.
Under the law, it is the duty of the State
| Auditor to organize the Senate in the alb
sence of the presiding officer. When
that body convened Judge Mitchell, of
the Supreme Court, asked if Auditor
Carr was present. Mr.. Carr stepped to
the front and briefly stated that the con-
stitutional presiding officer was at the
door and demanded admission, and he
would not usurp his power. Senator John
son then submitted a resolution direct
ing the doorkeeper TO admit Colonel
Robertson. He put the resolution to a
vote and amid terrible uprcar declared
it carried, but it had no effect on
the Democratic doorkeeper. Judge
Mitchell and the Democratic Senators
then proceeded to organization, the Re.
publicans refraining from voting. Sena-
tor James F. Cox was chosen President
of the Senate and took the chair. The
Republicans protested against Cox tax
ing the oath, but Judge Mitchell ad-
ministered it, and then left the cham.
ber. The minor offices were filled and
the Senate adjourned.
HARRIsoN's CALLERS.
Yesterdays stormy weather was sue
ceeded by bright sunshiny day with
melting snow. A large number of visi-
tors called at Harrison's residence, but
there were not many political callers.
| One of the first visitors OF note was }. A.
Edgerton, SeDator-eleet from the new
State of South Dakota, who is on his way
| to Washington. He had conference
with the President-elect and talked over
the prospects Of the admission of Dakota.
Other visitors were Hon. W. d.
Farquhar, of Massachusetts, ana Captain
Pratt, of the Carlisle, Pa, Indian school:
The latter's conference with General
Harrison was upon Indian educational
affairs. His stay in the city was cut
short by the receipt of telegram, stat
ing that two buildings. comprising part
of the school were unroofed by yester'
davis cyclone.

NINETEEN DEAD AT PITTSBURt

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
READING, Pa, January 10.-The fol-
lowing is the list of casualties corrected
up to this evening:
Burned to death in the Philadelphia
and Reading paint shop-Allen Landen-
berger, John Foreman, John Fl. Ksler,
Sheridan Jones, George A. Schafer; three
others seriously injured.
The list of casualties at the silk mill
is as follows: Dead-Sallie Saylor,
Mary Evans, Harry Brocker, An
ME Bandmauer, Mamie Lees, Ella
Ridenholer, Sallie Bickel, Eva
Leeds, Sophie Winkleman, forelady,
Katy Leeds, Mile Christian, Barbara

man, Lily Shaetfer, Daisy Hecker, EN- ma
Nester, Sallie Harner, Annie Fisher, Sal
lie Harrison, Annie Kerscher, Mary Fitz-
patrick, Sallie Faust, D. K. Becker, Ma
tilda Grow, Sadie Shade, Emma Blum
and John Reber. The number OF injured
is III 80 far accounted for; of these
many are expected to die.
MEETING FOR MEANS OF RELIEF.
This afternoon a largely attended
meeting of citizens was held in the Court
house to devise means for the relief of
the sufferers. Over IS, 900 was subscribed
on the instant. Any amount needed
was promised, and the entire city will
be canvassed for funds. The work of
hunting for the dead continued all Of to-
day and the scenes surrounding the mill
were but a repetition of what ensued
during the whole of last night. There
were fathers and mothers waiting, be-
sieging the rescuers to give them some
tidings of their missing sons and daugh-
ters. 1t has been detern. ined to push
the work of rescue all of tenight. The
list of deaths as sent by the Associated
Press tonight is believed to be the first
thoroughly correct one yet published. 1t
is not as large as was at first feared, but still
there are over thirty dead and a number
are still missing, and there is but one
belief, and that is that probably dozen
or more of the missing are still beneath
the debris. The Coroner has summoned
jury, and tomorrow will begin an in
quest on the five men roasted to death
in the Reading Railroad paint
SnOp. lney Will nolu no IN
quest on the elk mill victims until
satisfied that all are taken out. Very
little business was done here to-day, the
city giving way entirely to the excite
ment attending the terrible disaster.
Mr.. Grimshaw, the lessee Of the mill,
estimates the number dead at thirty-fve
to forty. A number are so seriously in
jured that they will die.
THE PITTSBURG VICTIMS.
PITTsBURG, January 10.-At midnight
the seventeenth body, that of Charles
McKeowen, was found in the rear of the
Welding store. 1t is thought the remain
ing bodies will be secured before morn
ing.
LATER-Two more bodies were found
in the ruins at l 80 this morning.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-The Senate
to-day, after routine business, resumed
consideration of the Tariff bill at the
paragraph making leather, not specially
enumerated or provided for, Is per cent.
ad valorem. No amendment was offered.
Vance moved to amend the paragraph
taxing calfskins, ETC., 25 cents per pound
by reducing it to 20 per cent. ad val.
orem.
On motion of Allison paragraph 415
taxing manufacturers of alabaster, am
Der, etc, 25 per cent. ad valorem, was
amended by emitting from it the words
"cork or cork bark" and adding to it the
words "osier or willow prepared for bas-
ketmakers' use."
Paragraph All, taxing manufactures
of bone, etc 80 per cent ad valorem was
on motion of Allison, amended by adding
to it "cork or cork bark"
Allison moved to amend Paragraph 425
by reducing the duty on pearls from 25
to 10 per cent ad valorem. Adopted.
After some discussion, Brown moved
to increase the rate of precious stones, set
and not specially enumerated, from 25 to
40 per cent ad valorem, so as to make it
correspond with the amendment yester'
day as to jewelry. Agreed to.
Brown moved to amend Paragraph 44O
(the last on the dutiable list) taxing
watches and watch cases 25 per cent. ad'
valorem by adding to it "gold watches
and gold watch cases 40 per cent. ad va
lorem" Agreed to.
The Clerk then proceeded to read the
free list, beginning at Paragraph AL.
Vance objected to the paragraph as to
braids, plaids, laces, etc, suitable FOL
ornamenting hats and bonnets, anc
moved to tax them 20 per cent. ad vale
rem. Rejected.
Plumb N owed to make Paragraph 55i
sead simply "fresh fish," striking out a.
the other words. No quorum voted ane
the bill was laid aside, twelve pages hav
ing been disposed of to-day. Adjourned
THE HOUSE.
In the House, Weaver, of Iowa, raiset
no objection 70 the reading OF the jour
nal, but the Clerk having concluded tina
task, Weaver brought forward hi
dilatory motion to adjourn, and tina
when the House adjourned it be to NEE
Saturday. Ballots and roll calls wer'
then ordered until l 40, whom th'
House, recognizing it's helplessness, ad

WEAVER THREATENED WITH EXPULSION

over Weaver's persistent efforts to fore,

less for them to discipline Weaver b.
means of caucus, as he refused to ODE!

that if necessary a resolution G

hardly to bs expected, especially as
Weaver is mercy exercising right
which the rules accord to him. Some
of the Republican members contend
that the Speaker should decline to recog-
niz, Weaver to make his fillibustering
motions. They claim that although
such action on the part of the Speaker
would be in the nature Of a despotic ex-
ercise of his power, it would be justified
by the present exigency, and would be

Galena, Admiral Luce's flagship, has,

It appears, therefore, that no United

mystery has never been known in
that region before, and men are
neglecting their work to try and
find out where the stones come from,
SO far without success, although all

to. Mrs. Morton is anxious to leave

There is a member of a Georgia
regiment, living still in that state,
who was in every battle fought by
his regiment during the civil war,
in every skirmish in which his com
pany was engaged, in every charge
made by his command, and did not
fire single shot He was then,
and is now, minister Of the Cos
pei. He did not believe in killing
his fellow-men, and frequently
charged the enemy with yell, saw
his comrades fall by his side, and
whether routing the Union soldiers
or being routed, he would not shoot.
He was always ready for duty
stood guard, remained at the picket
post, and obeyed implicitly every
command of his superior officers,
except to draw cartridges, load his
gun and shoot. On the retreat from
Dalton several rounds of cartridges
were issued to the soldiers, and he
took one but did not load his gun.
A short time afterward he was
struck by a spent ball but not hurt.

name of Hardigree, and he is a sue
