down the Industry. When the Demo
crocy framed the Mills bill as the en-
bodiment Of their intent and views
the tariff on common ware was slight
ly reduced, in accordance with the
idea OF cheapening the goods consum-
ed by the masses. The duty on the
finer grades and decorated ware re-
NAMED unchanged. In addition to
this, the duty was replaced on crates
packages, etc, which, according TO
conservative authority, would have vir-
tually increased the tariff on all grades
Of ware. This bill was heralded as
free trate measure" and terrible tales
OF woe were pictured as impending IN
poetry circles if il should become law.
This was told, Notwithstanding that the
Republican tariff commissioners had
recommended as q horizontal reduction
Of twenty per cent. in the duty on crock
cry q short time previous.
The Senate bill, framed for political
purposes at the time the Mills bill was
before Congress, cut the tariff on crock
cry five per cent. lower than the lust
what was wanted" Such actions were
ridiculous, but they were not different
from the usual stock in trade statements
given TO the public.

ALL EXONERATED.
A NOn-PartiSan Committee of the In
sane Asylum
DIRECTORS PRESENT A REPORT
In Which All Blame is Lifted From the 0fhciall
and the Attendants in the Recent Suicide
and Accidsnts-UDjust Republican
Criticism Silsnced.
Special TIEsoram to TIE Re0istsr.

WESTON, W. VA, October 22.-The
Board of Directors of the Hospital for
the Insane, closed an interesting seS-
sion here to-day. During the progress
of their deliberations five of their num-
Der, two Republicans and three Demo
Gratis, constituting a committee for the
purpose, investigated the recent acci-
dents at the institutions, about which
there has been so much published by
newspapers known to be preJudiced
against the management.
Their report completely exonerates
the officials and all connected with the
Hospital and gives black eye to these
persons who have been so assiduous In
their attacks upon the institution.
After reciting the circumstances at
tondant upon the two accidents and one
suicide, that have occurred amongst
the patients during the last six months,
the report says: "The committee is
unanimously OF opinion that the Super
intendant, assistants and attendants are
free from blame in the premises; that
accidents and suicide could not have
been foreSeen, and that in the manage
ment OF the institution great care is
taken for the safety Of the patients"
The report is signed by Messrs. Louis
Bennett, j. S. Hyar, A. G. Giffin, c. l..
Thompson and John A. Preston. These
gentlemen, who are all prominent in
public affairs and Interested in the good
name of the State, made u very thor
ough investigation with the above re-
suit. Their report will undoubtedly
counteract the false and infamous accu-
sations alleged against the management
and certainly dispel any anxiety that
may have been entertained by persons
who have friends confined in the asylum.
M. L. Haselden, of Clarnsburg, was
awarded the contract for furnishing
coal for one year at S4.19 per hundred
bushels OF eighty pounds to the buShel.
Ruhl. Kobegard & Co., Of Weston, re-
ceiyed the contract for furnishing flour
and meal. For -four they receive S4.97
per barrel of 200 pounds, and agree to
furnish white bo!ted corn meal at
seventy-fve cents per buShel. There
are now 9l9 persons under treatment at
the hospital and the general health Of
the inmates is good.

posult Of the ChIlian ELECTIONS.

SANTIAGO, October 22.-The election re-
turns show that the Liberals have a large
majority in the Electoral College, the du-
ties Of the members Of which are, TO great
extent. those of the Presidential Electors
in the United States, with the important
difference that the members themselves
select the President. The members OF the
Chillan Senate serve a term OF six years,
and are elected directly by provinces. Inc
members of the Chamber Of Deputies serve
three years, and are elected by depart
ments. The popularity Of the Liberal par
ty is shown by the fact that il has elected
thirty candidates for the Senate, while the
Clericals have elected only two. ln the
Chamber of Deputies the Liberals will
have full control Of the House, for they
will have at least a majority Of thirty, the
returns showing the election OF sixty-two
liberals and thirty-two Clericals.

big day for the Farmers Alliance In
Kansas. By numbers and demonstra-
tlon it appears that the Alliance In
Kansas is as enthusiastic as IL was last

900 of them had gathered about the
city.
At that hour procession was formed

of the city TO the Fair Ground. While
this demonstration was in progress
President McGrath was delivering his
annual address. 1t was in accord with
his often repeated declarations, that the
Alliance must preserve a business or
ganization intact; that TO enter politics
as an organization is to impair It's use
fulness. He urged the speedy adoption
of local and general cooperative
system.
AT the Fair Grounds an immense din
ner was waiting the participants in the
parade. The chief attraction for the
afternoon was speech by Congress
man Jerry Simpson.

sion on account of the joint debate be-
tween Senator PETER and j. Ralph Bur
