A FATAL DEFECT
IN THE MKINLEY TARIFF BILL As PASSED
By CONGRESS.
Senator Mcpherson Says that the Omission Of the
Tobacco Schedule Yitiatss the Measnre-What
the Government Officials Say About 1t.
Will Enforce the Bill.

New YORK, October Ex-senator
Mcpherson very recestly wrote rs fol-
lows to a member of a prominent i'm
porting house in this city:
Il beg to call your attention to the
conference report and Tariff bill sent
YOU about ten days or two weeks ago
quarto pamphlet of PA pages. On
page rs you will find amendment 449
and section 80, the reading matter re-
lating 10 drawbacks on tobacco stricken
OUT Turning over TO page 116. sixth
line from the top, you will find the fol-
l85gsi"H' s5gs Conference restores section"
Now in the Tariff bill before you you
will find in Section 30, That on and
after the first day of January, &c, end
ing with six cents per pound, leaving
all the rest of original section 80 out al
together This omission is fatal to the
bill, and in the opinion of eminent law
yers here. Senator CasliSle among them,
10 vitiateS the whole bill. 1t is an In
ternal Revenue section, but being part
Of the Tariff bill passed, it stands and
falls together"
In accordance with this discovery, a
protest against Collector Erhardt'S OIL
cial action under the Mckinley bill was
last evening forwarded to the leading
importers in this city for signature
Under the law protests against the Col
lectOr'S assessments cannot be lodged
until the liquidation Of entry, and must
be lodged within ten days after that
stage in the importers business with
the Government.
4 Washington dispatch says: Senator
Carlisle. who was one OF the cOnfereeS,
was asked what, in his opinion, would
be the effect of the omission Of section
80 from the Tariff bill Is signed by the
President. Il have not" he said, "eX-
amined the authorities on the subject.
but il seems quite clear TO me that the
omission of one section is just rs fatal TO
the bin rs if all but one had been omit
ted. II the President can sign part of
bill passed by both houses and make
that Il law, OF course it makes no differ
ence how small part tits. Should the
constitutionality Of this law be tested
/ in the courts, the question would have
20 bee determined by the journals of the
two houses, because they constitute the
only legal evidence of what was done.
The two houses passed the Tariff bill,
| but in different forms. When it came
back from the Conference Committee
there was nothing TO act upon except
/ It's report. which, l suppose. was en-
tered upon the Journal of both houses
| as is usual in such cases.

THAT GLASS TRUST.
1t VIII Work Serious Injury to the Jobbers
in the Business.

CHICAGO, October 23.-In view of the
formation Of window glass trust the
jobberS in that article are inquiring
anXiouSly if any change will be made in
the distribution Of the product which
will iniure them as middle men. An
executive committee of the jobberS as
Sociation held long conference yeSter-
day with the executive committee OF
the American Company. The jObberS
represented were \. Decy, of Drey IL
Hahn, St. Louis; VIM. Reed, Detroit;
Mr. Palmer, Cleveland; Geo. Il. Kimball,
Chicago; Mr.. Hayes, Chicago, and VIM.
Glenny, Of the Glenny Glass Company,
of Cincinnati. The American Company :
committee express themselves as power
less to take any definite action in the
matter, as the organization was not per-
fectcd. One Of the interested jObbcrS
said concerning the jobbers' interests:
1--WE feel practically assured that there
will be but little change in the handling
of stock. OF course we have had the
advantages often which a good buyer
gets OF dealing with individual concerns
or inside figures, and this may be cur
tailed somewhat by the distribution OF
all this profit by one company"
A local paper says in regard to the
matter: THE jobberS in glass may
well be alarmed at the prospect. The
company has discussed the jobberS' re-
lationship to the trade, and the latter
understand this but do not exhibit then
apprchcnsions. The inside figure:
which close buyers have obtained is one
of the alleged causes of this new aSsoci-
alton. The Executive Committee is ex
pected to be stiff in dealing with all job
bers which will prevent in measure
the constant underSelling that has de-
prcciated the returns that should bC
received for the product at present
quotations. The manufacturers have
even discussed the adviSabilitl
of selling direct to the con
sumer and have not yet decided wha
figures will be made to job5erS so tn,
latter can compete with architects and
contractors. . The members Stoutl!
claim that consumers need expect NJ
Increase. but it is clear that inside
profits which have been made betweel
manufacturer and consumer are goine
to be gobbled by the manufacturers a
far as possible.
A prominent glass man said las
night: Il think some c~eSSion will b'
made to jobbcrS, but some OF them,
think, will find that the only profitable
way to do will be as did, to own thei
own factory and dispose of their owl

RACE RIOT
In Coffee County, Georgia-The Militia
Called Out.

ATLANTA, GA, October 23.-Only
meagre reports can be obtained concern
ing the reported race riot In Coffee
county. as the trouble occurred some
distance from the nearest point of tee-
graphic communication. 1t appears
that in the riot four white men were
shot dOwn-B. +. McClendon. Frank
and Thomas SeerS, and John Hendricks.
None of these are dead, according to
the latest reports. The Governor has
received a request TO order ont the
militia on the ground; that the white
people are at the mercy of an armed
mob of negroes. He accordingly ordered
the WaycroSS Rifles to proceed at once
to the scene OF conflict.
1t appears that the negroes are being
led in riot by one l.. b. Warn, white
man engaged in the turpentine business
near Stokes turpentine mill. Stokes
aud Warn and Thomas SeerS had a dis
pute about tract of land. Warn put
his men to work on the timber land and
Seers shot one of the negroes aud drove
the others from the wood. They re-
turned in the afternoon and fired into
a crowd of warns hands. Warns ne
grocS TO have revenge on SeorS' armed
themselves and made an assault on the
settlement with the above result. At
last accounts matters were somewhat
quicted. and it is believed there will be
no other trouble.

HELD FOR COURT.
A Curious Case Before Justice Arkle
Yesterday.

a very peculiar and unusuul Grim
inal case was up before Justice Arkle,
yesterday, and resulted in one w. L..
Taylor, the principal witness In a grand
larceny case against another man, being
himself held to answer before the grand
jury as the thief.
The case, In one way and another, has
been before the public for about week,
but in order to make the story intelligi-
BILE, II will be necessary to go back and
narrate the facts.
On Thursday, the 10th day Of October,
Mrs. Fitzgerald, living in the southern
portion of the city, dropped her pocket
book on Market street, south of Six
teenth, and some one picked it up and
kept it. The following day Mrs. Fitz-
gerald came up to the City Hall, re-
ported the loss OF the money, and an
officer was detailed to work up the case.
Joe PaliSsa. the Italian who keeps on
Market street, just at the point the
money was dropped, was arrested and
taken to the City Hall, and thence "a
the Office of Justice Arkle. After hear
ing Mrs. Fitzgerald's statement, PaliSSa
furnished bail for a hearing Satur
day, and on that day the ease wa:
continued until the following Monday
when he was discharged. On sun,
day Onicer Lukens learned from Officer
Drlller that Taylor had stated AT
his boarding house that he had
seen Mrs. Fitzgerald drop the peck
etbook, and that PalisSa had picked II
up and put it in his pocket; he also
gave the amount of money. and the de-
nomination Of the bills. Taylor wa.
summoned as witness, aud at the hear.
ing. he repeated this StatemeI I, saying
in addition that the Italian picked the
book up with his right hand and put il
in his right hand trousers pocket; that
the money consisted Of two ten dollar
bills, a five dollar bill and a silver dol
lar; that he saw the Police officer come
down on the same afte noon and arrest
the Italian: that he followed them Ia
the City. Hall, and thence to Justice
Ankles Office, where he stood on the
steps while the hearing was going on.
As the arrest was not made the same
day but on Friday, this looked strange,
especially as Taylor had told the story,
at his boarding house, about the arrest
the day before the arrest was
actually made. His detailing the
character of the money, and It's amount,
when the money was rolled up tight,
with the silver dollar inside Of it, was
also a suspicious circumstance, and after
thinking it all over, the Justice held
Taylor for an examination. This took
place yesterday afternoon, and as Taylor
could not explain the discrepancy in his
statements, nor tell how he came to
know about the money, he was sent to
Jail to await the result Of an inyestiga-
tion before the grand jury. Taylor did
see the arrest on Friday, and followed
the officer and PalisSa to Justice Ankles
office, but instead Of standing on the
steps, he skipped up Market street,
without stopping at all.
