FARMERs AND WOOL.
Chairman Springer's Studies OF
Tariff Results.

Chairman Springer's Studies on
Tariff Results.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Mr. Springer,
mittee, is putting in great deal of time
loading up" as he calls it, on tariff
facts and figures. He has made a care
full study OF the reports.issued by Statis-
tician Brock, of the treasury department,
and is carefully outlining the policy that
will be pursued by his committee in the
way of tariff legislation. He said:
These statistics show some strange
things. You know this Mckinley bill
was made to suit the farmer, and under
it he Is supposed 10 get all that protec-
ton which the Republican party prom
ised him. The tariff was put upon
wool and on WOODEN goods. This
was Intended, so they claimed,
to keep out foreign competition
and give the American wool gaowers a
chance, but what is the result? Ac-
cOrding to the figures of the treasury
department. during the nine months
ended Oct 81, under the Mckinley bill,
as compared with the preceding nine
months, we found there has been an in
creaSe-not decrease-in the amount
OI WOOL Imported lnCO tne Unlleu State
amounting to the unprecedented figures
of 81 per cent. and on top of all this
wool fell from two to three cents a
pound i'll value in America.
''Thus it appears that while the Re-
publieanS promised less foreign compe-
tition and higher price to the farmer
for his wool, under the very provisions
Of the measure upon which it was prom
iSed. wool went down in price, and
more than ever was known in this coun-
try came from abroad. That was
rather rough on the farmer who was
told all this. and it is just such things as
this that the Democrats will endeavor to
consider"

TRIED HARD TO DIE.
Guy de Maupassant Attempts to
ECOmm Suicide.

Guy Ue MaupaSSant Attempts to
ECOmm Suicide.
PAEIs. Jan. An. Henri Rene Albert
Guy de Maupassant, the we'll known
French author, who is seeking at Can
mes to recover from the nervous disor-
ders from which he is suffering. and
which are due to overwork, attempted
to commit suicide last Friday night
He got possession or revolver and fired
six shots at his head Fortunately, the
members of his family had a suspicion
that he intended to Kill himself, and in
order to Illustrate his design they had
removed the bullets from the car
tridges with which the revolver was
loaded. After NJ. De MaupaSsant found
that he could not destroy himself with
the revolver. he took a razor and cut a
cash in his throat, but this attempt also
failed, and the injury inflicted upon
himself was not serious.
Lie was announced at the beginning of
December last that NJ. De MaupaSSant
was suffering from a disease of the
nervous system, and that he had been
ordered by his physician to take COM
plete rest. RumorS were circulated that
he had become insane, but these reports
were strenuously denied, it being added
that they were due to the jealousy Of
unsuccessful rivals in the field of liter
ature. NJ. De Maupassant, it was adj
mitted, was somewhat broken down and
was suffering from nervous exhaustion.
but his friends claimed that there was
no reason to believe that his brain
power was in any way impaired.
M. De Maupassant was born in 1850.
For seven years he studied the art of
literature like an apprentice at an ordi-
nary trade, and then in 1880, his editor,
M. Flaubert, allowed him to make his
literary debut.

EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
A Proposed Amendment Said to
Predicate 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Post to-
morrow will say: The statement pub
lished some time ago to the effect that
leading Democrats are DESTROYS of
bringing the present session to a speedy
adjournment will receive confederation
today in the amendment to the rules
which will be offered by Representative
McCreary, of Kentucky. Gov. Nc
Creary believes that all the appropria-
ton bills ought to be reported to the
house within the next eighty days, so
that they can receive speedy considera-
ton, and thus insure an early adjourn
ment. Gov. McCreary's amendment is
made applicable to all sessions of con-
gress, and reads as follows:
1t shall be the duty of the several commit
tees having jurisdiction of the general appro-
priation bills to report said appropriation
bills to the house Except the general de-
ficiency bilD within eighty days after the
committees are announced in long session
of congress- and within forty days after the
commencement of short session, and if any
committee fail to so report, the reasons of
such failure snail be privileged for consid-

NEW COINS IN DEMAND.
Director Leech States Some Facts
in the Matter.

D1PeCtOr LoeCn states some E'dCtS
in the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The director
of the mint today received box con-
tanning $50 worth of new silver coins,
half-dollars, quarters and dimes, and he
was Immediately besieged by applicants
for sample sets. One set he sent to the
president and several others were dis
tributed among friends. The others
were disposed of at their market value.
By evening his box was empty. but the
applicants wera still coming. These
new coins are being made out of the
silver contained in the uncurrent coins
stored i'll the treasury. There was
100000 worth of this money at face
value at the beginning of the present
year. and this has been reduced gradu-
ally until there is now but Sl3.000,010 on
hand.
half million was taken to Phila-
delphia recently for the purpose of
turning out the new coins. 1t was
melted up at once, and it was found
when the resulting bars were weighed
that there had been loss by abrasion
OF $4,000, or little over per cent. This
was surprise to the officers of the
treasury, who expected that there would
be at least Z per cent loss. The differ
GllCC OClWCSii lllO ldCO value VI LllG COiu
and the actual value has to be paid to
the treasurer in order to balance his ac-
counts, and this constitutes the cost of
the new coinage.
There is now an available fund of
1000 on hand for this purpose, and
Mir. Leech, director of the mint, esti-
mates that with this he can coin about
a million dollars in the new designs. He
hopes to get an appropriation of 100000
from the present congress with which
to continue the work, and he thinks
that with this he can turn out 100000
in new coins and thus supply the de-
mand. The present fund will last about
three months. The coins received to-
day were struck at the Philadelphia
mint OH Saturday.
Mr.. Leech made the following state
ment today in regard to the arrange
ment said to have been completed be-
tween Germany and Austria Hungary
to demonetiZe the silver coins known as
the ''vereinS thalers": ''All the Aus
trian union thalers now in Germany
are considered national coins in
that empire. In fact all the verein
(uninn) thalers are now in Germany,
and the amount is variously estimated
at from 40O,000,0 900 to 500,000.000 marks, :
verein thalerS which it is proposed to
melt down are embraced in this amount.
They are variouSly estimated at from
10000 900 to 93,000,000 marks, that is,
from S1S,00o,000 to S23, 100000. From
the dispatch it would seem as if Aus
tria-Hungary had decided to buy those
silver coins and melt them into bars for
the reason that silver forms are quoted
below their value on change"

ESHER GAINS A POINT.
Judge Blodgett Decides Against
Dubs Treasurer.

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-judge Blodgett, I'M
his federal court this morning, rendered
a decision which is substantial victory
for the Esher faction Of the German
Evangelical church in the fight against
the Bishop Dubs faction. The case
cam before the court OH bill filed by
the missionary society of the church. of
which William Yost, of Cleveland, O..
is treasurer. to enjoin Michael Kunkel
from acting as such treasurer. The de-
PENDANT demurred to the bill. but Judge
Blodgett overruled the demurrer, and
an order will be entered restraining
Kunkel from acting as treasurer.
Kunkel represents the Bishop Dubs
faction.
John Schneider, of this city, who rep
resents the Bishop Dubs side, referring
to Judge Blodgett's decision. said: THE
decision does not affect the merits of the
case at all. We never intended to col
lect any of the funds of the missionary
society. only the tree contributions Of
the friends who adhere to Bishop Dubs.
Notwithstanding the supposed Esherite
victory, Judge Blodgett. in his decision
today, granted to Mr.. Kunkel the priv
ilege of receiving ali missionary.contri-
buttons sent to him by the adherents of
Bishop Dubs. and pay it TO the mission
aries III the West. This is all that we
have contended for until the main con-
troyersy is decided"

THE AUCTION MUST CEASE.
The Soldier Vote Can No Longer
BE Bought and Sold.
Special to the Globe.

oC alO
Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1.-THE Republic
an party has put up the soldier vote at
auction every year since the war. 1t
has offered the soldier vote to the high
est bidder, but has not always been able
to deliver the goods. 1t is manifest
now that this auction business is over,
at least for time. The members of the
majority of the senate committee on
pensions are opposed to further pension
legislation. | am informed that Senator
Sawyer, of Wisconsin, has been inter-
viewed and that, speaking of the COM
mittee on pensions, he said: 1--WE car
ried pension legislation too far when
we passed that dependent pen sion bill,
and we do not intend to consent to fur
Their pension Legislation if we can pre-
vent it. Of course, if the Democratic
house dumps lot of pension bills on
US we will pass them, but we are OPP
posed to that policy"
The soldier vote Of 1890 is regarded
by senators and members of the house
as exceedingly significant. The SOL
diers did not endorse the wholesale PEN
sion business done by the last congress.
They realized that the soldier vote was
being auctioned off and paid for out the
treasury. They resented such conduct.
The Republican leaders have at last
grasped the idea of their own folly and
have hauled themselves down in this
particular

Democrats have 10 votes to - Republic
ans. even counting Edwards among the
latter. \ majority of those voting is
sufficient to carry all questions except
the passing of bill.
At the opening session tomorrow, if
the sixteen Democrats vote to seat
Walker and the fifteen Republicans. in
Guiding Edwards, vote against seating
him, he will be seated. On this point,
however, Senator Edwards is said to
have declared that he would not vote to
seat Walker over Sherwood in the
REIMBURSEMENT district. He said that
no man should be admitted to the senate
who had 1,640 votes less than his op-
ponent, and that the electors Of the dis
trict should have another election.
Sherwood is the Republican ineligible
who was elected by the above majority.
Most OF the senators left this city to-
night for Albany, so as to watch devel-
opmentS at close quarters.

A GERMAN SENSATION.
Railway Employees to Suffer in q
Retrenchment Plan.

BERLIN, Jan. A sensation has been
caused here by the publication in the
socialist papers of the city of conf
dental circular sent by the government
to the directors of the different state
railways. The labor agitators are seek
ing to make political capital out of the
circular, which they aver plainly shows
that the government is inimical to the
interests of the laboring classes.
The circular declares in effect that
the present financial position is such as
to render necessary the adoption of a
policy of retrenchment, and the direct
ors of the state railways are informed
that they must reduce the wages of the
employees of the roads ana dismiss all
whose services can possibly be dis
pensed with. How the socialists got
possession OF the circular is mystery.
The socialist editors, in commenting on
the circular, point out that the result
of the governments action will be not
only reduction of wages, but an in
crease of work for those who are re-
tanned in the employ of the railways.

MUsCovITE SCANDALS.
The Gar Gives OHfense by Deny
ing q Famine.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. At is re-
ported that the flour recently bought by
the municipal authorities, which was
found to be adulterated and totally unfit
for use, was originally intended for ex-
port, and, if it had not been for the
decree prohibiting the expectation of
flour, the fraud might never have been
discovered. A thousand wagon loads
of corn which was sold by large ex-
porting firm to the town of Samara has
been found to be similarly adulterated.
The car has given offeuse by declaring
publicly that no famine exists, and that
there has merely been partial failure
of the crops. This expression of opin-
ION is very general in official circles.

DAVITT TO THE TIMES.
Very Unfair Comments Made on
the Explosion.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The explosion at
Dublin castle and the efforts of con.
servativ organs to place the response
bility upon the shoulders of the leaders
of the physical force" party, has had
the effect of drawing from Michael
Davitt letter, which is sent to the
Times for publication. In this letter
Mr.. Davitt protests that it is cowardly
for the Times to lnsinuate that the eX-
plosion might be traced to his friend
Ford. Mr.. Davitt says it is more proba-
BILE, as the Times friend Pigott is dead,
that that paper has another agent TO
preach the gospel of dynamite as Pigott
did the gospel of forgery. Mr.. Davltt
also suggests that the explosion was due
to one of the government menials, who
caused it with the object of influencing
the coming election in Rossendale to fill
the vacancy IN the house of commons
caused by the elevation of Lord Hart
ington, now the Duke of DevonShire, to
the house of lords.

public documents, has completed its

The bin proposes to reduce the force

and place all the branch printing offices
under the direction Of the public
printer, and in many ways simplify the
printing and distribution OF public doc

in the new bill is the establishment of a
bureau of distribution, in charge of all
special documents printed by order of
congress, and which are now distributed
through the senate and house folding

REDIsTRlOT1NG BILL.
Democratic Work to Be at Once
Wiped Out.

w 1HSu Out.
COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. 4.-Senator Car
penter Introduced bill in the senate to
redistrict the state and wipe out the
Democratic gerrymander. The bill
caused considerable comment among
the politicians, and as it was the latest
thing out, was discussed in many
quarters more generally than the
senatorial question. The bill just
suits great many, while it
doesn't suit others. However, it is re-
garded as fair measure, as all of the
proposed districts are well balanced as
to population. Incidentally the bill
gives six Democratic districts and fif-
teen Republican ones. There are sew
eral close districts, and some claim that
with Republican turnout like last
fall it would hustle the Democrats to
get over four districts. Judge Thomp-
sons county (Scotio) is put i'll the Eiey-
enth and Gen. Grosvenor's county
(Athens) in the Thirteenth. Both are
strongly Republican
