lie VIII Move to Take the Duties or Arti-
cIes on which There Aren't Any. which
is Easy Way of Getting Out of II DIE
fculty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The only sub
jects on which the majority on the Ways
aud Means Committee have been able yet
TO reach an agreement are binding twine,
barbed wire, and lumber, and perhaps
salt. They are all in favor of putting
these articles on the free list, with the
possible exception of salt. Mr.. Whiting
Of Michigan is understood to be in doubt
on the subject. Binding twine is practi-
cally on the free list now.
The Mckinley bill also reduced the duty
on lumber Salt is produced so cheaply
now in this country under protective
tariff that barrel Of salt can be bought
for very small advance, - cents, on the
cost of the empty barrel Hence the sub
jects that Springer's committee have
reached an agreement on are the very
ones that are now practically on the free
list That is, if all these articles were
placed on the free list they would not be
sold any cheaper than they are at present,
and this Is the kind of tariff reform that
Springer proposes with view of helping
the Democratic party in the next election.

Yesterday Biedermann went to the

keep down his temper, told her that her
that her conduct was killing him by
iuches.n Marguerite wilfully replied that
he was too old for her, and made dis
paraging remarks about differences of
age as affecting marriage. She capped
the climax by declaring that she heartily
loved the young lieutenant, and that he
was much better suited to her than her
betrothed.
At this Biedermann became so enraged
that he drew a pistol and shot her twice,
and at the second shot she fell lifeless at
his feet. Biedermann stopped and kissed
her and then pointed the revolver at his
own head and blew out his brains When
found he was dead, with his head on Mar
