WE GET The WORSTOFIT
Gladstone Shows How The Mckinley Bill
Will Injure America,
BUT WILL HELP ENGLAND
Prices VIII Be Pushed Up In This
Country While Our Foreign
Markets viii Be Cur
tailed.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-Gladstone arrived at
Dundee to-day and was presented with the
freedom OF the city. He made an address
in which he referred to the commerce OF
the city, which was, he said, threatened
by the adoption of the new American
tariff. IL would, however, he said, bring a
railing accusation against the people of
the United States. Protection, although
il might inflict incidental collateral blows
on other countries, did far greater mis-
chief 10 the people Of tho country which
adopted such policy.
Gladstone then proceeded TO contrast
the decrease in the tariff in England with
the increase in the United States and said
he found comfort for England in the fact
II was not true any tariff adopted by any
government ON earth could interfere
seriously with the prosperity Of Great
Britain.
The first effect OF the Mckinley bill
would be TO raise the standard Of prices
in the United States. This meant dimin-
ished power Of expectation. This again
meant, while we were damnifed in one
OF our 20 markets, we derived benefit in
the other 10 from the diminished power Of
the merchants of the United States 10
compete with British merchants many of
them. This being due 10 the augmenta'
ton OF prices in the United States and the
increased restraints under which the
merchants Of the latter country have to
work. He advised the manufacturers 10
allow America 10 find out for herself the
evil effects that will follow the adoption
Of high tariff.
Gladstone deprecated the idea of
Xollvercin OF the whole British empire,
including the colonies and dependencies
against all foreign countries. He doubted
much whether the whole empire would
consent. Furthermore, although II would
10 some extent enlarge the commerce OF
the colonies ii would contract it with the
rest Of the world. The imperial commerce
is now els7, 600 yearly and the foreign
commerce f55i,O00,0oO. One effect of the
Mckinley tariff would be TO direct the at
tention of the British manufacturer toward
the production of finer classes Of goods,
because these bore the least intolerable
protective duties. The result would be
20 elevate and improve the taste OF the
British manufacturers; spur them on and
stimulate their ingenuity. In spite OF pro-
lection commerce between America and
Great Britain has greatly increased. The
word protection was a misnomer. II
ought to be oppression. II is a delusion
and fraud.
America was the country that could best
afford to try this strange and astonishing
experiment. Her natural wealth, soil,
minerals and immense territory made
her world in herself. The possession
OF these enormous advantages helped 10
disguise the truth from the Americans; I;
but the Mckinley law would involve
fearful waste of the resources by which
the American people ought to be made
strong and happy.

BENWELL'S MURDER.


Birchall Had q Friend Who Claims 20
Have Committed the Crime.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-lnquiries were made
at Morley's hotel, Trafalgar square, to.
day. TO ascertain what truth was in the
story from Montreal about Birchall, under
sentence of death at Woodstock, Canada.
for the murder of Benwell. The infor-
nation was elected that Mrs. Birchall
and the colonel the alleged author of
the letter received by Birchall, were at
the hotel last January.
The books of the hotel show an Ameri-
can styling himself Colonel Lewis, ar
rived there in January and remained until
the 9th. Birchall arrived January 1ith
and was guest until the 18th. Steven
of Montreal, n gentleman who told Of
seeing Birchall, Benwell and the ''colo-
neln at the hotel, registered at the hotel
January 18th and left on the Goth.
Colonel Lewis was well known by the
servants OF the hotel and they retain
vivid recollection of him. They describe
him as a somewhat pompous-looking
man, feet inches in height; stout; wore
long moustache; complexion inclined to
be fair. He was heavy drinker They
were generally known as "Colonelr
Birchell and "Colonel" Lewis, and seemed
to be on intimate terms. They were often
together and seemed to be well in each
others confidence. Since January the
colonel has often called at the hotel, but
has not remained. He left direct iohs that
letters be forwarded TO Stretham, Surrey.
His exact address has not been traced.
Birchall and the Colonel while at the
hotel often invited gentlemen To pass the
evening with them. The servants cannot
identify any visitor who answered the de-
scription given OF Benwell. Colonel
Lewis went TO America in October or No
vember, 1859. His repeated visits 10 the
hotel render il likely he has been out of
England since January.

The Eject OF Habit.


A remarkable instance OF the effects AZ
habit In horse was witnessed in Alabama
recently; says The HosemdH. The owner,
a merchant, lives two miles in the coun-
try. For four years, every day except
Sunday, he rode the same horse 10 his
store in the morning, hitched the animal
To the same tree and rode home at night.
The horse is "a sorrel with a white face,
and Is known as Badly. One day the
ow ner was quite i'll aud unable TO CONS
down TO the store. His horse was turned
into pasture early in the morning, but
when the hour at which the owner
usually started TO the store ar
rived Badly jumped the pasture
fence and walked up TO the front gate.
lie stood there several minutes, evidently
surprised that he was not bridled and sad
died. Then he turned and walked short
distance aud came back 10 the gate. This
time he waited only few moments,
when. with low whinny. he turned and
started to town. When he reached the
store he at once walked around TO his ac-
customed hilching place, where he re-
manned until evening, when he wen.
home. Next day the owner was unable to
come 10 town, but just 20 see what the
horse would do Baldy was again turned
into the pasture. he again leaped the
fence, waited few minutes az the gate.
and again walked into town and took his
position under the hitching tree.

OUR WESTERN EMPIRE
General Miles Tells Of the Condition Of
Its Hillary Affairs.
HOW TO TREAT THE INDIANS
Measures Proposed for the Defense
OF the Pacific Coast Reor-
ganlzation OF the West
ern Forces.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Major General
Miles, in his annual report of the military
division Of the Pacinc, while reporting
the tone and character Of the service as
most excellent says any system is defec-
tive which leaves with little advancement
and slight hope OF recognition class Of
citizens who devote themselves entirely TO
military service. The artillery branch
should be increased by at least two regi-
ments and the same organization be given
the infantry that exists in the best armies
Of the world, namely, the three battalion
organization.
General Miles says the various methods
resorted TO in order TO diminish desertion
have not 10 any considerable extent, done
soi He believes, however, we are APP
preaching the solution of the problem and
that measures recently adopted are a step
in the right direction.
The holding Of the dsconiented Indian
tribes on the San Carlos reservation, es-
pecially along the Gila river, which is un-
suited 10 them and often unhealthy, will
always be source OF danger and distur-
bance. As several military posts and res
ervations in the department Of Arizona
have been abandoned. lie recommends
that they be at once occupied by the Indi-
ans or converted into industrial schools,
and the Mojaye, Ton Ton and Yuma lndi-
ans be removed there at once from the
sickly Gila valley. The San Carlos Indi-
ans now along the San Carlos river and
the White mountains should be located
on sufficient part Of the reservation and
the remainder thrown open TO such use us
can be made of IL by citizens. The tribes
would be more easily controlled when
separated, especially in such q region as
they are now compelled to occupy.
The general dwells at considerable
length on the coast defense question, reit-
Grating his well-known views on the sub
ject. The recent practice manGuvers OF
the English navy demonstrated, he says,
the fact that their powerful navy could
not defend even the limited coast Of that
island, and IL is useless 10 suppose any
navy we can construct can defend our ex-
tensive sea coast. Land batteries are far
more economical than armed ships as a
means Of defense. The general recon-
mended that sites for coast defenses be
secured without dcly; that gun foun-
dry be established on the Pacific coast,
and one-fourth Of the appropriation re-
quired for coast defense be made every
year for tho next four years.

THE PLUMED KNIGHT.
He Speaks TO the People OF South Bend
ON the Subject Of Reciprocity.

SoUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. ID. 4.
Blaine reached here At noon. grand
reception was arranged, but through
some misunderstanding the band failed
10 appear until Blaine had been carried
TO the home OF James Oliver for lunch.
Snow covered the ground and rain was
falling, so there were only a few vepiured
out to meet the dis stinguished statesman.
A speech was delivered at ? o'clock at the
town skating rink 10 large and enthusi-
astic crowd OF South Bend and Goshen
republicans. Immediately after speak
ing Blaine took the train for Plymouth,
where he joins his family en- route TO
Washington.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather a great crowd OF people was in
town and all that could possibly crowd
into the rink assembled there and gave
Mr.. Blaine most enthusiastic reception.
MIR. Blaine discussed reciprocity. "for a
time,n he said, "the republican party was
divided on II. That showed that they
were reasoning men. In due time they
became solid for il. When the
republicans we're divided on the
question:, tnt democrats Wtft

republicans became unanimous you
couldn't get democrat TO vote for it'at
all. II the democrats had agood idea re-
publi.ans would stand by them. But the
democrats won't stand by us unless the
republican party is divided. do not call
that wise flnanciering or patriotic con-
duct. We should not divide when the
prosperity Of the country Is involved.
"An American is a great deal bigger man
than either democrat or republican.Any
democrat or any republican makes him
self smaller ifho will stand in the way of
American progress because il may harm
his party. No great results can come
from that. The republics of
this continent should be brought
closer together and when we
can help them and they help us il is BUSH
ness 10 do so. Reciprocity is bringing
these nations closer together aud | be-
lieye in the next two years We can open to
the farmers OF the United States a market
for Is, 100000 millions Of people in addi-
ton 20 what We now have. II is n greater
step OF progress than the democratic
partNhns taken in,the last 30 years. These

STocKMEN WILL SUFFER.
Mexico's Government Retaiiates For the
Mckinley Bill.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 99.-There was con-
siderable excitement to-day among the
Kansas City stockmen relating to advices
received from Mexico 10 the effect that
that country had placed duty of $50 per
car on American cattle. II the advices
are true, this practically ruins the live
stock trade between this country and
Mexico. The act of the Mexican govern
ment is regarded here as retaliatory
one, precipitated by the fear the Mexi-
cans have of the Mckinley bill. Ii has
been rumored among the stockmen Of this
city for the past few days that the Mexi-
can government was contemplating a
move OF this kind, but there was thought
to be nothing in it until dispatches were
received from agents in Texas apparently
confirming the reports.
