Is reported the whole town of Dixon
Springs in Smith county, thirty-fine miles

THE DUTY ON HIDES.
1t Will be Restored in the New
Tariff Bill.
THE GREAT LOUISVILLE HORROR.
1t is Believed the Loss of Life has Been Over
Estimated-Also the Financial Loss
Assistance Offered.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 29-TSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD THE hide men
of the west, who have been led to believe
within the past few days that the new Re-
publican tariff bill would restore hides to
the free list, will be agreeably surprised to
learn that these reports are untrue, and
that when the bill is reported to the full
ways and means committee, as it will be
on Monday next, it will be found that an
ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. has been
placed upon the Importation of this article
OF course the New England manufacturers
will raise an awful row for it was out of
Difference to their wishes that the Repub-
lican members of the committee restored
hides to the free list after they had put
them on the dutiable list, but their COM
plants will be heard UNDECIDED. The Re-
publican trainers of the bill were forced to
decide between the farmers OF the west
and the manufacturers of the east, and
they have agreed in this case to stand by
the farmer.
My authority for this statement is a
distinguished Republican member of the
ways and means committee, whose name for
OBVIOUS reasons | cannot make public Said
this gentleman: 1--WE are bound to be
defeated next autumn no matter what kind
OF a bill we mature. 1t is impossible to
bring in bill which will please everybody
on this matter of hides, and we have con-
cluded to stand by the farmer. The farm
ers have been, as rule, among the most
loyal supporters of the Republican party
The eastern manufactures are drifting to-
ward free trade. The farmer is poor, the
manufacturer is rich. The farmer is burn
ing his corn for fuel; the manufacturer
lives on the fat of the land. OF the two,
we propose to benefit the farmer, and so
we have placed duty on hides for the
first time for fifteen years. The duty on
lead ore, sugar and wool will remain as has
already been published

to be. II suppose my going away did

A Fact Worth knowing.

Astigmatism, which is the inability to see
lines running in different directions
equally distinct, is the principal cause of
defective sight, and by far the most annoy
ing, and is only detected and corrected by
specialist thoroughly acquainted and
practiced in the application of the scien-
tific tests. In such cases not only must
special lenses be provided, but they must
also be mounted Just the proper way, as
the same lenses fitted any other way will
be positively hurtful.
DR. G. w. Tibbits, the occulist and aurist
of 10 East First South street, is very sue
cessful in such cases. His office is provided
with all the scientific tests, and he is thor
of these tests, for full and complete cor
rection. People whose eyes trouble them
from optical defect will secure permanent
relief by applying to him, and will also save
money.

ANTI CHINESE ACT.
The Celestial Empire Wants il
Repealed or Modified.
A COMMUNICATION TO MIR. BLAIN
Upon the Subject from the Chinese Minister
at Washington-The Floods in the
Lower Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD lit has been an
nounced as a secret in diplomatic circles
Tor the past eighteen months that the Chi
nese government was endeavoring to Sc
cure, if not the repeal, at least the modif-
cation of what is known as the Chinese
exclusion act. This act, it will be remem-
Dered, was passed five weeks prior to the
late presidential election, and it became a
law at the time a new treaty for the regu-
lation of Chinese immigration was pending
between the two countries. This act of the
American Congress was severe blow to
China's pride. For some time through her
representatives here she endeavored to
have it set aside and reach the desired re-
suit through the more dignified and formal
channel of diplomacy. Failing in this, she
Is now trying to have the act modified, and
along letter from the Chinese minister
bearing upon the subject was received at
the state department by Mr.. Blaine to-day.
The burden of the minister's complaint
Is that under the operations of the treaty
stipulations, during the past twenty years,
large number of Chinese subjects have
tome to the United States and established
rery considerable property and commercial
interests, to the proper enjoyment of which
the right of free exit and entrance to the
United States is an essential condition,
and without the enjoyment of which they
will necessarily suffer great hardship and
2ecuniary loss. The exclusion act de-
prives them Of this privilege, which is &C
corded to the subjects of all other ma
lions. 1t must be conceded that
If this act is to be enforced,
the government of the United States
should, in justice and according to the prin-
ciples ofinternational law as interpreted
by its authorities, be held responsible to
The government of China for all the losses
and damages occasioned thereby to Chinese
subjects. More than this, the
minister insists that such Chinese
rs were absent from this country at the
time the act was passed, and who carried
with them the proper certificates of identi-
6cation, shall be permitted to return to
the United States. The certificates of
Identification carried the implied proof of
.he government that the holder should be
Allowed to come back, else, the minister
pertinently asks, why were they issued.
The minister hopes that Secretary Blaine
will lay the matter before Congress, and
hat that august body will, at this late day,
repair the wrong it has done to the sub
ects of friendly nation.

Louisville Still Picketed

LOUISVILLE, March 90 Temporary roofs
are being put on wherever possible. Hun
dreds of hogsheads Of exposed tobacco are
being carted to the warehouses. In spite
of all efforts, however, several thousand
hogsheads remain unprotected on the sec
ond, third and fourth floors, and there will
be considerable danger in reaching these,
as they seem ready TO topple into the street.
The streets in the districts worst damaged
are still picketed. Elsewhere wagons and
all but mere sight-seers are allowed to pass.
Hundreds of men are busy trying to save
goods. Many of those employed in the
wreckage are paid by the board of trade
committee. Whenever help is desired it is
given. At Falls City hall the men Under

The Damage at Jeffersonyille.

LOUISVILLE, March 27.-Jetfersonville,
while not officially seeking assistance, can
find many places wherein it will be of the
utmost Importance. Many are rendered
homeless and penniless; some are thrown
from comfort to poverty, but the people
are not discouraged. They have gone to
work, and this morning timers and masons
were at work on numerous house tops. The
damage in houses, furniture, etc., is large.
Not less than two hundred houses are
wrecked.
At Cloverport, KY, the storm of wind,
rain and hail did great damage to property.
The wounded in Marion will reach fifty
five and at least dozen of these will die.
One feature of 1t was that both physicians
were fatally injured, leaving the town in a
bad way so far as medical assistance is con-
cerned. The relief committee is at work
providing food and shelter for the destitute.

Claus Spreckels Breathes Easier.


Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner-C Cable. I
PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-Claus Spreck-
els breathes greatdeal easier o-day than he
did few weeks ago. The sugar king
found that several of his contemplated
moves were anticipated by the Sugar trust.
He removed his chief accountant, George
Simpson, but Spreckels found that the
knowledge of his intentions was still leak
ing, but not much to his loss. The matter
was then placed in the hands of Captain
Linden, of Pinkerton's detectives, for in
vestigation, and many discharges were
made of suspected employees. Simpson
and Rufus X. Hunter, a confidential book
keeper and nephew of Simpson, were
taken into Mr.. Spreckels and after being
confronted with overwhelming evidence
confessed to having divulged the condition
and operations of the business. "Mr.
Hunter in his confession" said Mr.
Spreckels, STATED he had informed his
Uncle Simpson of the daily workings and
condition of the business, but only as
matter of friendly confidence. He stoutly
denies that it was done for any money con
sideration, but expressed himself as cog
INFANT of the fact chat this knowledge was
being in turn impaired by his uncle to Mr..
Robinson, a tobacco dealer of New York.
He said there was no collision on his part
to bring about, in any way, conspiracy to
cripple me. AS to what Mr.. Robinson did
with the information which could be no aid
to him in his business, or as to who were
his principals, am not willing just now to
speak. 1t is, however, a matter which
leads me to think there has been deliber-
ate attempt to ruin me.n
When questioned as to whether he be-
lieved there was any collision between the
parties mentioned and any member of the
Sugar trust, Mr.. Spreckels did not care to
discuss the matter in that connection Mr.
Spreckels will not prosecute Hunter or
Simpson. Captain Linden said that addi-
tioual information was being gained con-
corning the matter and that in day or so
some important developments may take
place.

were destroyed. AT Pennington there was
much damage to buildings, but no loss of
