A curb-stone politician has

the Mckinley bill is raising
prices. After thorough investl-
cation he finds that beer is the
only thing that has suffered a rise
in value because Of the new tariff /,
which sent up the price of hops
aid barley.
The provisions of the Nc
Kinley bill are all designed TO se-
cure the home market in the
United States to the home produc-
ers. The reciprocity amendments
suggested by Mr.. Blanc makes
this even more emphatic. They
are drawn so as to apply to coun'
tries whose staple products are al
together different from those Of The
United States. The object is t
get a wide market for what The
United States has to export in re
turn for what we do not pro
duce at all, or in quantity INSULT
cient to meet our domestic re
quirements. This is the who'll
thing in nutshell, and the WIS
dom of this policy, though tn
tariff bill is only few weeks old
is already manifestlng itself in th'
efforts of number of countrie
to extend their trade relation
with US.

HIS WHEREABOUTS A SECRE7
The Other Witnesses Induced te
Leave the City-Interesting
Revelations.

Inasmuch as there has Leen moth

the cases of Sidney ID. Waters, Peter
Dueber and William Gillespie, the
three men under indictment for
stealing relief supplies intended for
the sufferers Of the great fire, RE
VIEW reporter inquired into the
matter Friday.
Inquiry vt the courthouse devel-
oped nothing. The trial OF the
cases has not been set and the court
officials were unprcpared TO say
when tho cases would be called.
One gentleman said:
al don't see what can be done
with the cases except to dismiss
them. All of tho states witnesses
have been persuaded TO leave the
city. 1t Is not known where Robert
Inglis Is, aud even II his
whereabouts were known 1t Is
doubtful II he could be had, as 1
think he Is In Canada. The last of
the witnesses to leave was Swarts,
the man who traced the supplies To
the houses of the defendants. Really,
don't see what can be done"
Persons interested in the prosecu-
ton of the three men, however, do
know what can be done, but they
are acting In silence. a reporter,
however, learned what Is being done
from "a source unquestioned. The
case OF the state Is not near 80 hope
less as the gentleman above quoted
pictures II.
The whereabouts of Robert r..
Inglis, the first man discovered
piliering the relief tent, Is well
known to the prosecution. He is
perfectly willing to come back and
testify for the state, even anxious.
He, however, demands that he be
given immunity from punishment
Tor his crime. He sent nm emissary
to this city sometime ago with the
above proposition to the parties in
terested In the prosecution.
They agreed to the proposition,
made out the necessary papers and
sent them to Inglis. After ex-
amining them he found that they

tho papers are now on their way

accept them.
With the testimoncy of Inglis,
the prosecution Is satisfied that 1t

FREE TRADE OUTLOOK
Gladstone's Cpeech Before

THE AMERICAN VIEW DEfLORED

From the Firm Convictions of

LONDON, MAY l2.--Gladstons spoke
ut the Golden Club tonight. He sand
that the free traders must: recognize
with great disappointment how much
ground had been lost by their doctrines
within the last twenty five ycfs. The
military spirit, which lay like aSampire
over Europe, was responsible Or much
Of the mischief, but not for all because
free trade had receded in Il coun.
tries where militarism ia not
prevail. In the United States
and the British colonies protection was
applied. In America 1t was applied not
only to goods. but to pepons. as
instanced by the treatment Of the Chi.
nese. The great republic had never
accepted the doctrines OF free trsdc. At
one time there had been Qualified
progress toward them, but This was
being checked. Modern opinions be-
came actually retrogressive. still
the growing strength, activity and
the clearness of conviction by
the free trade American party
gave favorable promise of ultimate tri-
umph at the polls. On looking over tho
certainly not encouraging. This state
OF opinion had emboldened the
champions of protection, long lurking
in their holes, to venture out and renew
the struggle under the name Of fair
traue.
Regarding bi-metallism, Gladstone
said that 1t WAS a movement IN the di-
rection OF protection, since the adoption
OF Tree trade the wages of the laboring
men had improved 30 per cent. England
was working out u great social and
economic problem for the benefit of the
world. He was confident that free trade,
although temporarily discredited. was
destined to become the universal charter
OF trade and obtain the general accept
ance OF all civilized nations.

ANOTHER HOLOCAUST.
County Buildings at Preston
New York, Burned.
TEN IDIOTS WERE ROASTED
They We're Looked in and Gould
Not Be Rescued-A Brave
Keeper.

UrIcA, n. Y, May s,--A large part oi
Chenango county buildings. located
at Preston, near Norwich, were burned
at midnight last night, and ten inmates,
possibly more, were burned to death,
The buildings destroyed were
the asylum, In which were about
eighty inmates; the pauper.
house and idiot ward, in
which were forty inmates
Both were three story wooden buildings,
in good repair, having wings two stories
in height. They were valued at S25, 600,
insured for $4,000, and are u total loss,
The horrible part of the disaster was the
burning of ten idiots, who were penned
in their cells and roasted.
The origin of the fire was probably In
tho smoldering sparks of slight fire
which occurred Wednesday afternoon.
Deborah Dibble, ieebie-minded old
woman, was smoking pipe and set her
clothing and bedding on fire, and was
burned fatally before the flames could
be eNtinguished. 1t is supposed tina,
the tlre started from some undiscovered
smoIdering sparks from this event.
The keeper was awakened by a pauper
and attempted to arouse the idiots, but
was driven back by the fire. He ran
through the other buildings ia his night
clothes, rescuing the inmates. All were
saved. Most were taken to churches
until other quarters could be provided.
Some escaped and took to the woods,
where the sheriff and deputies are hunt
ing Tor them.
The names of nine OF the idiots who
were burned are as follows! Sarah
Mills, Sarah Gallagher, Arvilla Atwood,
sarah Bailey, Laura Gray, Deborah
Dtbble, Mary g. Daniels, Almeda Aus
tin, Aurelia Benedict.
The keeper rescued several at the risk
of his life.
The sight was indescribable and hor-
rible. II was the Tongue Pointe disas-
ter re.enactcL on "a smaller scale. The
demcnted and horror-stricken inmates
wandered around In helpless manner.
The great wooden buildings lit up the

ARMED WITH RIFLES.
Farmers Attempt to Divert
the Stuck River.
A SHERIFF ON THEIR TRAIL
The Men Are Trying to Turn the
Stuck Into the White
River.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 0.--Word was
received by Sheriff Mctiraw this morn
ing that gang of men, armed with
Winchester rifles, were at work ut the
junction OF the stuck and White rivers
building dam across the Stuck river in
order to turn the waters into the White
river. The waters In these rivers are un-
usually high this spring, and have been
overhowing the bottom lands along their
courses, doing great deal OF damage to
the crop. The Stuck river enters tho
Puyallup, and thus the waters flowing
down that river flood tile whole of the
Puyallup valley. 1t is stated
that the crops on hundreds of
acres are threatened by the floods.
The White river empties into tho Dwam-
ish and thence into Elliott bay. The
double amount OF water were 1t allowed
to reach the sound by this course, would
prove extremely disasterous to the agrl-
cultural interests along the river. which
are already threatened with destruction.
The Stuck river at the point where the
men are endeavoring to build a dam Is
about 100 feet in width, The reports
which have reached Seattle are TO the
effect that about twenty OF the farmers
along the Upper Puyallup valley are en-
from its course, and that they have a
line of pickets thrown out to notify them
OF the approach of any other than their
own party.
A restraining order was issued against
the men, and placed In the bands
of Deputy Sheriff Woolery for service,
with instructions to take as many men
as he deemed necessary.
The deputy lett Seattle on the 2:lb
train alone, and II he finds that assist.
ance is necessary he will organize a
posse at Stuck Junction or Slaughter, or
send to Seattle for assistance.
Two years ago a similar attempt was
made to build n dam at this point.

ney Donald went out TO arrest those en-
gagged in the enterprise, but the guards
informed the workinen OF the approach
OF the officers, and they retired before
the arrival OF the sheriff
