Six Good Reasons.

WASHINGTON. June IA delegation of
about 100 importers from New York City
appeared to-day before the senate com
mittee on finance to protest against the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill j. M.
Constable, of Arnold, Constable & Co., was
chief spokesman of the delegation. He
presented formal protest from the i'm
porters of New York. The printed protest
presented to the committee by Constable is
signed by 455 mercantile firms of New York
City. It protests against the passage of
the bill for the following reasons: First.
because it is wholly unnecessary, the coun-
try no longer needing the revenue from
such uncalled for and unjust taxa
ton; second, it does not accomplish
its purpose; third, it is unjust in that it dis
eliminates in favor of the rich against the
poorer classes; fourth, it handicaps trade;
fifth, it retards the progress of the nation,
the welfare of the whole country and the
permanent good of manufacturers them
selves, who require a reduction. rather than
an increase of tariff duties; sixth, the ad-
ministration bill increases the revenue by
many millions of dollars.

Refining silver by Electricity.

It would appear from correspondents
statement in the Chronique Industrielle
that the ingenious method devised by M.
Moebius for refining silver by electricity is
likely to prove of extensive industrial
value, being found especially suitable for
the treatment of auriferous silver contain
ing about II per cent. of gold. In an or
dinary electrolytic bath, composed of a
weak solution of nitric acid at l per cent,
anodes of argentiferous matter are en-
ployed, and q thin plate of pure silver as
cathode; the anodes. which are about
twelve millimetres in thickness, are placed
in muslin bags, which retain the gold, plat
inum, peroxide of lead and other foreign
bodies contained in the matter; the current
employed being LEO amperes, with differ
ence of potential between the plates of one
volt. During the whole operation brushes
pass and repass over the surface of the ca
thode, causing the silver deposited to fall
to the bottom: if the matter contains cop
per, il dissolves in the nitric acid, but il is
not deposited in the cathodes.

CHICAGO, June 4.-[Special. THE Her.
AIDS Washington correspondent says: San
ders and Power and Congressman Carter,
of Montana, are learning a rather bitter
lesson in the politics of the Harrison ad-
from Montana VS.. Prince Russell Harrison
has been the subject of no end Of gossip in
the cloak rooms of the senate during the
past few days. Two months or more ago.
it appears, the term of the democratic post
master at Helena expired and in anticipa-
tion of the prompt appointment Of repub-
lican to succeed him the pseudo senators
and the representative met in council.
They all live in Helena and the question
therefore was who should control the ap-
pointment. They concluded that there was
no use of quarreling about it and finally
agreed upon j. B. Walker, prominent
citizen of Helena and a nephew of Score
tary Blaine. Walker was satisfactory to
the people of the town and his hackers,
comprising the whole delegation from the
state, naturally supposed there would be no
difficulty about his appointment.
But Walker has some interest in the
Helena Herald, rival sheet to the paper
owned by Son Russell, and, of course, the
prince was against him. In order to defeat
Walker he brought out candidate of his
own, Mr.. Wheeler, chum and former
business associate of Russells. With no
other prominent backer than the prince of
the house of Harrison. Wheeler has actu-
ally got his fingers on the prize and is likely
to run off with it in few days. The dele
cation has exhausted all it's influence at the
white house in favor of its candidate and
has learned that Russell is too much for
them. They have, however, suppressed their
wrath as much as possible in order to avoid
scandal and have endeavored to arrange
compromise by which their man gets the
government assay Office, while Prince Rus
sells man gets the postoffice. This they are
working on, and hence will not say for pub
lication what they really think of the prince
business. but in the privacy of the cloak
rooms of the senate they are pouring out a
bitter and sulphurous tale of woe.

POLITICAL HULLABALLOO.

The Commander of the French War Shin
Explains His Orders.
SYDNEY, Cape Breton, June 4.-The
French war ship Andre, whose commander
kicked up ouch a rumpus on the New
Foundland coast by ordering native fisher
men to make room for Frenchmen, has ar
rived here. Her commander says the
rights of French fishermen on the New
Foundland coast have been established by
treaty and recognized for two hundred
years. 1t has teen the custom when
natives occupied the fishing grounds to re-
quest them to make room for the French,
which has been always done. In this case
there were no British war ships to call on,
80 the French commander made the order
direct. No more than dozen seins were
removed from the bay of st. George. The
commander declares that it is entirely q
political hullaballoo.

LUTHERANs IN POLITICS.
Those of Wisconsin Make War ON the
Bennett Law.

| Those of Wisconsin Make War ON the
Bennett Law
MILWAUKEE. June 4. The German
Lutheran anti-Bennett compulsory school
law convention to-day passed resolutions
protesting against the Bennett law, because
it unnecessarily and unjustly curtails civil
and religious liberty and offers the school
board the opportunity of determining arbi-
trarily that child during the period of en-
forced attendance must attend the school
in the city, town or district in which it re-
sides, thus depriving the parents of the
right to send their children to better and
more suitable school outside of the dis
trict; compels parochlal and other private
schools to observe the time or times of at
tendance fixed by the school boards, with
out regard to the rights and customs of the
churches or their schools: prescribes GER
tain studies as also medium of instruc-
tion therein; affords school boards ample
opportunity to use powers not given to
them. although the state and its officers
have no right to interfere with the man
agement of parochial and other private
schools; declares that. regardless of former
party utilization, the German Lutherans
pledge themselves to work for the repeal of
the bennett law.
The following resolution, offered by Prof.
Ernest, was also adopted:
Resolved, That this convention deeply
regrets that the present governor, w. s.
Hoard, has, according to reports in the Or
gan of his party, which have not been
denied, openly asserted in public meet
ing that the pastors and congregations had
conspired to keep the minds of the youth in
darkness. the pastors being also charged with
entering into such conspiracy for the sake
of mallmon. Whoever has any knowledge
of the conduct of our churches is aware of
the fact that the CLERGY, as well as laymen,
have made every effort to offer ali
possible educational facilities to our
youth, and therefore the untrue and ex-
tremely offensive assertion by Mr.. Hoard
need not be refuted.
Resolved, That we repel with indlgne ton
the assertion made repeatedly by the Mil
waukee Sentinel, edited by Mr.. Horace
Ruble, that the movement against the Ben
nett law was instigated and encouraged by
pastors who had misled the members Of
their congregations, although it is known to
every one that the movement ia particularly
one of the heads of families and the people.
We regard such insinuations as an insult to
lay members, who are thereby represented
as men without convictions and Judgment,
blindly following the leadership of their
clergymen. We brand such insinuations as
contemplate falsehoods and hope our
Anglo American fellow citizens will not
permit themselves to be Influenced by such
unfounded charges.

THREE TERRIFIC STORMS.
Iowa Visited With q Third and Most De-
structive ClOudburst Yesterday.

Iowa Visited With Third and Most De-
structiye Cloudburst Yesterday.
COUNCIL BLUFFs, June "A devastating
cloudburst early this morning constitutes
the third terrific storm that has visited this
section this week. The Ncnpareil's Under
wood special states that at about o'clock
this morning cloudburst occurred some
miles north of there, nearly over Mosquito
creek. When day broke the lower and
western half of the town presented pitia-
BILE plight, scores of dwellings being totally
wrecked while others were twisted from
their foundations. At noon the waters of
Mosquito creek registered twenty-five feet
above high water mark. In the lower part
of the city houses stood in ten feet of
water. Several washouts occurred, rail-
roads and many bridges were rwept away,
and many persons narrowly es> aped drown
ing. A large number of cattle md hogs are
drowned. The total loss in Ut. .erwood and
vicinity aggregates $15O,000.
At Weston, a village seven niles below
Underwood and on Mosquito creek, the
damage is, not less rhS ,l~s part OF the
town is under from five to fifteen feet Of
water. A line of corn cribs containing 100-
600 bushels is under water and probably
total loss. Heavy losses of cattle and
sheep are reported. The total loss about
Weston will reach 100000.
Further advices to the Nonpareil from
further up the valley, at Nicola, and as far
as Perry, show that the storm ragged with
savage effect. The flood on Mosquito
creek, which empties into the. Missouri
at this point, reached Council Bluffs
at noon ta-day. The river is eight feet
above high-water mark tonight and still
rising. The valley, which varies to mile
in width, is under water to an average
depth of fifteen feet. The indications are
that this valley for distance of thirty
the roads are washed out for a distance of
twenty miles. The entire damage is esti-
mated at 100000. No loss of life has yet
been reported.
