session to solve the important and pressing
questions which would come up for consider

further legislation for the protection Of the
workingmen. The strike movements during
tHe past year mad suggested an examination
OF the question whether the laws of the ex-

which were justifable and capable Of realiza-

The Emperor continued: "I trust Won are

LEWISTON, May 8.
The Board of Aldermen, accompanied by
City Physician Matte and the clerk of the
board of overseers of the poor, visited the
poor farm this afternoon for the purpose of
looking into the separation of the sane from
the insane. There are about 70 paupers at
that institution now, 10 of whom are insane,
and three more of the same kind will be ad-
mitted next week. Some of these inmates
are violent by spells, and have caused great
deal of trouble. No definite report has been
submitted yet, but among the propositions
advanced one is to use the first floor of the
poor farm building for cells, and to have
large yard fenced in in connection, where
they may roam in the daytime.
Another is to fit up a building formerly
used as pest house. for the exclusive bene-
fit of the insane paupers.
There was lively meeting of the city gov
ernment this evening, the cause of which
was the appointment of liquor agent. This
is plum over which there has been hot
fight. Charles Sabourin was supported by
the French members for the position, but he
was defeated by Michael Coyne, one of Lew
iston's ex aldermen. The French people are

How the Tariff Debate Will Be Con-

Chamber for Mr.. Beck.
Especial to the Press, |


WASHINGTON, May 6-The tariff debate
will begin tomorrow, and according to the
decision of the Republican caucus, will con-
tinue four days in general debate, after
which there will be eight days for debate
and amendment in committee of the whole
under the five minute rule. Thus the tariff
bill will be passed by this Congress in about
as many days as it took weeks in the last
Congress. But of course the long and ex-
haustive debate then makes useless long de-
bate now. Still the Democrats will probably
complain that they are deprived of the right
to talk. and that the Constitution is shat
tered thereby. Mr.. Mckinley will open the
debate on the Republican side tomorrow,
and will be followed by Mr. Mills of Texas
on the Democratic side. Mr.. Carlisle was to
have followed, but has been called to Ken
lucky by Senator Beck's funeral. Mr.. Bur-
rows of Michigan will speak next on the Re-
publican side. and Mr.. Mcmillan of Tennes-
see will follow on the other side. In OPEN
ing the debate Mr.. Mckinley will probably
speak about an hour.
