Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, April 16.7-The House
Republican committee ON the silver
question this morning heard the report
of the subcommittee to confer with a
subcommittee of the Senate Republican
committee, with view OF coming to a
basis of agreement. The subcommittee
reported that it had been agreed that
the bill should provide for the purchase
of 4 100000 ounces of silver every month,
certificates to be issued in payment
thereof to be redeemable in lawful
money. At first, itis said, the members
of the full committee were inclined to
adopt this basis, and voted to do so.
Afterwards, however, in discussing the
manner of redeeming the certificates,
sentiment was developed in favor of
making them redeemabIe in bullion.
This proposition was advocated by the
majority OF the committee, and the SUBJ
committee was instructed to again con-
fer with the Senate subcommittee, and
endeavor to induce them to agree to
provide for the redemption of the GER
tificates in accordance with the views of
the House committee, meeting of
the subcommittee to be held this after
noon for that purpose.
Dissenting Senators.
A member of the Senate sub-commit-
tee said in conversation upon the SUBJ
ject, no such agreement as that would
be recommended by his vote. He did
not believe there were five Senators who
favored the redemption of the certificates
in bullion. The Senator said it was ex-
pected that at first cost the silver pur-
chased would be less than "a, 500, 900 a
month, but that under the operations of
the bill the price would be so enhanced
that in a short time the cost of silver
would probably surpass that sum. It is
also expected, he said, that for time
at least, other silver than the product of
the mines of the United States will be
necessary to make up the full amount
of the monthly purchase.
| Another Senator said it is rapidly be-
coming manifest that an agreement must
be reached by the Republicans, else a
proposition would be made for unlimited
free coinage, and it would pass both
Houses.
LIE mootlng OF Cne SuD-cOmm1tteeS
this afternoon was productive of no re-
suit. Another meeting will be held on
Friday.
LONDON, April 16.-The Times says: :
If the policy of the silver ring should
break down in America, whether through
popular impatience or commercial and
financial difficulties, the damned up
volume of silver will pour out in
an overwhelming rush on the world.
Such contingency is unlikely to occur,
but it ought to be taken into considera-
ton and account by India and other
countries interested in the silver ques-
ton. 1t will be profitable if Congress
will give touch OF actuality to the mo-
tion to be introduced in the Commons
by Samuel Smith in favor of an interna-
tional conference on bi-metalism.

302 pounds, would be an annual pay
ment of $61, ,528, ,426 in bounties.
The sugar duty is defended as far more
just and equitable than that on many
other articles, and while the minority
believe the duty should be reduced, they
cannot see the justice or propriety of
making this article free, paying bounty
and making this excuse for imposing
$65, 600, 900 additional taxes.
Odious Comparisons.
On the other schedules the minority
finds it impossible to state with accu-
acy the effect of the increases. They
express the opinion that the increase on
tobacco will be $16,305, 1926, and other
items show an increase of $4,000, 900.
( Adding these amounts to $40,055, ,152,
shown by the committees tables to
have been added to the duties on arti-
cles remaining on the dutiable list,
shows total increase of duties on arti-
cles still dutiable, outside of the sugar
schedule, of about $65, 100000, and we
are satisfied it is more than that. We
do not mean to assert that the bill actu-
ally increases the customs revenue $685.
600, 900 over what it is, but that it pro-
poses to impose upon the articles of the
dutiable list, except sugar and molasses,
that sum in excess of the amount col
lected on the same schedules last year.
1t places upon the free list articles which
yielded a revenue of 6,039, 1863 during
the last fiscal year, and makes reduc-
tion of $54, ,522, ITO on sugar and mo-
lasses, and the two sums amounting to
$50, ,983, ,079 being deducted from $65 ,0O0,-
600, leave but an increase of more than
1000 in tariff taxation under the bill.

TRACY'S CRIME.
why He Was a Fugitive and a Wanderer
From Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 16.-A dispatch from
Winnemucca, New, tonight announced
the arrest OF E. L. Tracy wanted in
Chicago for murder. The Times says:
Tracy's crime was an atrocious one. He
was low character, and after marrying
a woman and degrading her, killed
Charles Wagner, of 555 Clark street.
Wagner kept saloon there, and Mrs.
Tracy lived overhead. Her husband
told her to get ready to go to Milwaukee.
She refused, saying he wanted to put
her in disreputable house. Tracy tried
to force her to go, and hearing
the row, Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner and John
Wilson rushed in. Mrs. Wagner de-
nounced Tracy as a procurer for Mil
waukee house of ill-fame. He drew a
revolver and shot Wagner, and made his
escape from the city. Since then he had
not been heard of until tonight.

An Exceptional Case.

SAN Francisco, April 16.-Williams,
Dimond & Co., agents of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, have COM
planned to Collector Phelps in regard to
the Treasury Departments order in
regard to the transfer of Chinese in this
harbor to vessels destined for Mexican
ports. They say the steamer China will
bring large number of Chinese who
have not been apprised of the order, and
who expect to transfer. They ask the
Collector to ask relief from the Treasury
Department in this case.

McKENNA'S KICK
The California Congressman Files an In
dividua1 Protest.


dividual Protest.
McKenna dissents from the sugar
schedule. The bill in its sugar schedule,
he said, makes an arbitrary and invidi-
GUS distinction between the sugar indus
try and other industries. The distinc-
ton is inconsistent with the principle
upon which the bill is framed, and upon
which it can alone be justified Protec-
ton, as understood politically, is the
clear right of all industries, or of none.
A tariff may be tax, bounty is
certainly one fixed and unavoidable, and
increases with the production it encour-
ages, and finally vanishes in the compe-
tition of home products. The bounty
abandons the home market to the for
eign product; the tariff secures the
home market to the home product. A
bounty, therefore, is as useless as it is
burdensome, and as Odious as it is use
less. 1t has no justification either in the
practice, principles or professions of the
Republican party. If a bounty is useful
for sugar, why not for other things? In
all the range of articles with which the
bill deals, are none fit for a
bounty but sugar? If bounty
is a tax of less burden
Cndn Is d CdTll, why are tIle buRdr-COn-
sumers selected for favor? The Repub-
lican House of Representatives should
not set this example. Who can say
where the contagion of it will stop?
Speaking OF the beet-sugar industry
of California, McKenna said: Must the
industry be able to supply the home
consumption before it is entitled to pro-
lection? Other industries have not
done this; industries that have been
protected in every tariff bill,
and are protected in the pres
ent bill. One of the accusations
against the present law is one of
the accusations against the proposed
bill, namely, that it retains the duties
levied for war expenditures. Why? If
sugar is to be placed on the free list, it
will be puzzling to answer that why. 1t
is submitted then that upon every prin-
ciple upon which protective duty can
be applied to any American industry, it
must be applied to sugar. Upon every
principle upon which protective duty
can be denied to sugar, it must be de-
MED to every American industry. Pro-
lection must be universal or not at ALL
1t must be natural or not at all. The
bill presented gives a bounty to silk
cocoons and raw silk. 1t is as objectiona-
BILE as bounty on sugar.
