MeKinley's Tariff Bill Formu-
lated to Meet a Political
Situation.
Tax-Ridden Americans Will
Not Be Fooled by Its
FallacieS.
Chinese Persist in Smuggling
Themselves Into the
States.
Senators Pass the Pension
Bill Carrying Nearly One
Hundred Millions.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-The house
spent most OF its session in tariff discus
sion. The bill pensioning Mrs. Della
S. Parnell. mother of Charles Stewart
Parnell, at $50 a month, was passed.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill, MIR. Payson,
of Illinois, i'll the chair. Mr.. Fitch, OF
New York. was the first speaker. In
criticism Of Nlr. Mckinley, Mr.. Fitch
said that having failed to do what he
had promised in his speech two years
ago on the Mills bill, about to-
bacco, and done what he had
promised to do about sugar. Mr.. Mckin-
ley went step further and repudiated
all his arguments contained in that
speech. The bill was makeshift to
meet a political situation. MIR. Gear, of
Iowa, quoting the old proverb Scratch
a Russian and you will find a Tartar"
applied it Scratch Democrat and you
will find free trader" He claimed
that the bill was in pursuance of the de-
mand made by the people in the last
campaign. He defended the bill,
especially its provisions In regard
TO sugar. and maintained that its pas
sage would destroy, root and branch,
the sugar trust, ''the great American
devil fish," Mr. Crisp, OF Georgia. ar
gued against the protection theory. lie
declared that the reduction in the prices
of shoes and other useful articles was
due, not to the tariff. as asserted by the
Republican party, but to invention.
Mr. Payne, of New York, argued IN
support Of the bill, especially OF those
benefit the farmer. Mr.. Wheeler, of
Alabama, criticized the general features
OF the bill and denounced all special
powers and benefits conferred by
it. The house then at p.
IN. took recess until 8 p. M.
At the evening session Mr.. Perkins, of
Kansas, IN the chair as speaker pro tenn,
the tariff debate was continued in the
house. MIR. Wike, of Illinois, attacked
the policy of protection. Mr.. Kerr, of
Iowa, opposed bountieS. In the matter
Of the bounty on sugar it was his opn-
ion that the foreign producer would get
four-fifthS of the advantage OF the TAX
ing the duty off sugar. He was opposed
to taxing one American industry for the
benefit of another. MFR. Fithian,
of Illinois, voiced like views.
Mr.. Morse, of Massachusetts,, pro-
tested against the long and
short haul clause of the law and argued
that the remedy was to return to the
let-alone policy. Mr.. Goodnight, OF
Kentucky, earnestly opposed the bill.
MIR. Atkinson, OF West Virginia, though
he gave his support to the bill, regretted
that it did not repeal the tobacco tax
and place protective duty on sugar.
MIR. Walker. of Missouri. argued against
the bill and contended that the high
wages paid to American workingmen
were not the result of protection. but
could be traced to the fact that the
country was possessed of large tracts of
public land, which acted as safety
valve to surplus labor. Mr.. Foreman.
of Illinois, briefly opposed the bill, and

BERLIN, May 9.-Iu the upper house
of the Prussian diet to-day, Count Pfcil,
of the Extreme Right, moved that the

GoSsler, minister of public instruction,
said it was impossible to exclude Jews
from any educational establishment.
Such an attempt would force the

ment had adopted any special measures
to suppress the language. The prinei-
Piles now followed, he said, are the
same as those which have been followed

ties. Evidence was next introduced
to show that as soon as Claasen
secured possession of the banks
assets he, through his agents, turned
them over to the parties VINO paid the
checks with which the bank was bought.
Witness declared that when he turned
over the bank to the defendant he had
every reason to believe that Classen had
qualified as his successor to the prest-
dency. Andrew E. Colson said he was
the 22d of January, 1890. On that
day the assets of the bank amounted
to S2,569, 900. The surplus was between
S45O.OOO and S500,O00. The capital
stock was 100000. On Jan. 25 Presl-
dent Claasen handed the witness slip,
on the back of which were written in
structions for the witness to transfer
9S51S shares OF the stock of the bank as
directed, to wit: 200 shares to Claasen
and 7S515 shares to James A. Simmons.
Immediately after Mr.. Claasen was
elected president he said to the wit
ness: 81 have loaned slS0,000 already.
You make out three checks for
$4,000 payable to Pell. Wallack
& Co.; John Satterlee q Co.
and James A. Simmons" These
checks were signed by the witness as
cashier, and by Claasen as president.
Claasen said they would get as security
for the loans New York Central, Della
ware Il Lackawana ana Western stocks.
while as matter of fact no security
was received until five days later, and
then it was not that mentioned by Mr..
Claasen. The 1922, 200 of bonds which
Claasen gave Pell. Wallack & Co..
were taken without the witness
knowledge. This is the S622.0O0
mentioned in the first count of the in
dictment, charging Claassen with en-
bezzement. There was no entry in
the books of the band of the delivery OF
the S622, 900 bonds to Pell, Wallack d
Co. Bank Examiner A. B. Hepburn
was the last witness for the day. He
testified as to facts already testified to,
showing how he discovered that the
securities of the bank were missing and
the subsequent recovery OF portion OF
them. The court adjourned until Mon
day morning at II O'clock.
