SCORES of Old Ericnds.


NIAGARA FALLS, ONT, March "a
Burchcl was taken to Woodstock Jail
by Detective Murray by the Grand
Trunk railway at 7:3O o'clock this morn
ing. At the depot he seemed to be
cheerful. and when told by friend that
he hoped he (BurchelD would be able to
clear himself Of the charge, the prisoner
replied: There is not a doubt but that

Burchcll arrived at Woodstock at l0:30
o'clock. looking cheerful and happy and
apparently glad to be again among his
old friends in oxford county. There
were quite few at the depot to meet
him. His trial will not take place until
the fall aSSizeS.
Birchcll and his wife were allowed to
see and converse with each other this
morning. Their interview is said TO
have been very affecting. Birchell told
his wife that he had about $500 left, and
said She could have part Of it if she de-
sired. He also told her she could have
a divorce from him if she wished it. Il
will make no trouble about it, he said,
and here he showed the first emotion
since his arrest.
You can separate from me II you
wish TO-.
The poor wife S0bbed and said that
she would not desert him. and sank
down exhausted as he was led away.
A reporter interviewed Birchell this
morning just previous to his removal.
He was busy arranging his wardrobe
and getting it ready for shipment. He
was asked if he would like to say any
thing about his trip on the fatal Mon
day on which Bcnwcll met his death.
Brchcll replied: NO. nothing just now.
Perhaps later may speak. If

Birchcll said he had been treated
courtcouSly by the authorities and had
no fault to find. He was as cool as If
he was preparing for a pleasure trip.
When the detective appeared to take
him away Birchcll concluded the inter
view by saying: Good bye; there's no
use in being down-hearted, You know.

heap. and the public idolizcS him; the
next they will tramplc him under their

WASHINGTON. March 13.-Somc Of the
Republicans realize the fact that public
sentiment loudly condemns the fragrant
partisauship of the present majority,
and they are growing anxious and
restive and feel disposed To rebel against
Reed and Quay
As the REGISTER has shown. the Re
publicauS of the Ways aud Means Com
mittce are ina collision on the tariff on
the sugar question. Chairman McKin-
ley opposes free sugar and denOunceS
the bounty system Burrows, Gear and
LaEOllette insist upon free sugar and a
bounty. Mckenna. who represents the
FAR West, contends for a main
tainance Of the existing duty and
asserts that with continued protection
this country will In few years produce
all the sugar il consumes. While not So
expressing himself, he might be willing
to consent 20 a very slight reduction TO
harmonic aud unite the Republicans.
Bayuc is more interested I'm iron and
other Pennsylvania interests than in
sugar, and Payne is looking out for New
York manufacturers. On the question
of repeating the tobacco tax the Rcpub-
icanS are just as much divided They
are now contemplating a middle or COM
promise course 20 reduce the tax. but
that will not satisfy either side of the
controversy. Those who maintain that
tobacco should be- taxed. insist that ii
should bear all the burden now imposed.
while the opposite element contends for
au absolute repeal.
The indications are that il the Repub-
IicauS agree upon tariff bin il will be a
compromise measure. absolutely cmaScu-
atcd; that il will be- nothing more than "a
preteXt and cannot command the party
support In regard To the pending con-
tested eases the Republicans of the
Elections Committee are divided as to
several. and AN efforts 10 unite them
this week have been unavailing.
Ou the important subject of Pension
appropriations. Atkinson. of PcunSylva-
MIA. and other Republicans insist upon
complying with all the demands of
thc Grand Army. Chairman Cannon. of
thc Appropriations Committee. declares
that this policy would bankrupt the
Treasury and that he will fight it To she
bitter end. He has begun TO object To
pension bills. and this shows two more
irrecoucilable factions n the party.
This session is not half ended and al
ready the Republicans are hopelcSSly
cmbroiled with each other ON every
question of National interest.
