TARIFF TALK BEGINS.
DEBATE TO BE STARTED ON
 THE FREE WOOL BILL.
MT. McMiliin of Tennessee, in the Ab- sence of MT. Springer. VIII Open the Debate-AntI-silver Men sore-Gen- eral Washington News.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The tariff debate will begin in the House to-day immediately after the reading of the journal. The Ways and Means com mittee has the right to call up it's special measures without any special order from the Committee on Rules. The free wool bill will be the first one taken up. Mir. McMillin of Tennessee, in Mir. Springer's absence, will open the debate. He expects to talk an hour and half or two hours. Mir Dingley of Maine will speak for the minority. No arrangement has yet been made in regard to the limitations of the debate. Every body who wants to fire off a speech on the tariff will probably get a chance to have his remarks printed in the Record.
 The tariff reformers have not given mp their idea of caucus to settle the tariff policy. They will try to work up sentiment for this course. There is so far no plan perfected for intro ducing a general tariff bill as substi- tute for the single-item free.wool meas ure. But such bill is lable to turn up at any time.

The Victim Mistaken for His Brother-- The Murderess suicides-Onhcers Ar rest a Bridegroom-Report Of Othe, Cri

SANTA FE. N. M. March 9.-Rodrigo Martinez, senor just returned from A long stay in Old Mexico, was stabbed to the heart by his mother last evening at Fl Ritom, Mexican plaza about fifteen miles from here. Some years ago Martinez went to Old Mexico, leaving behind mother and a sweet heart. George Hallston, when Mar. tinez left, loved the girl and brought the news that Martinez had been killed in a fight. The girl, however, refused to marry him.
 To make sure that Martinez would never return he had the news reach Martinez that his mother was dead and the girl married. Martinez returned however, to find his sweetheart unmar. ried and his mother alive. He met Hallston, who persuaded him to visit his mother in disguise. While disguis- ing himself Hallston ran to the mothers house and said he would bring her the slayer of her son and that she should kill the rascal.
 When Rodrigo entered the enraged old woman bounced upon him and stabbed him to the heart. A moment later she found her mistake. Having mad she cut her throat. Hallston was set upon by the sweetheart of Martinez, but escaped.

CATCH BILL PASSED.
THE MEASURE GOES THROUGH
 THE IOWA SENATE
The Vote Stood 21 to 22-Extracts from the Debate-The Bill Is Very Severe In Its Clauses and Met With vigor- ous Protest.

DEs MoINes, Iowa, March 10. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon the Catch County Option bill passed the Senate. It got twenty-seven votes to twenty two in the negative, and one Senator (Engle) absent. The affirmative votes were cast by the twenty-five Demo- cratic members and Senators Catch and Brewer (Republican). Senator Harsh (Republican) voted with Catch and Brewer and the Democrats on the adoption of the amendments, but on the final passage of the bill, he voted No"
 When the discussion of the bill opened Senator Finn took the floor in opposition to it. He said that the Re- publican party in the Nation ight just as well throw the tariff bill over board because of the result of the last Congressional election as for the party in Iowa to give up prohibition by req son of the last election in this State. He said the Democrats were to be ad- party, and roasted Senators Catch and Brewer for going counter to their party in regard to prohibition.
 Senator Catch followed and closed the debate on the bill. He said he thought the brave and courage ous thing for the gentlemen who have spoken so strongly for enforcement of the present law to do was to offer . bill for State constabulary if they wanted to compel the enforcement of the law where it was a dead letter.
 Senator Perry, one of the Big Four" then took the floor. He said he should support this bill with great reluctance. It was little better than prohibition "a mere deception. It's author claimed it would secure prohibition to ninety counties in the State and was nothing but prohibition under the guise of license.
 Senator Bolter's name came fourth on the list He said that he should vote for the bill under great apprehen- sion and serious doubt. He thought it was unconstitutional. He had serious doubts of it's enforcement.
 Senator Schmidt, author of the Schmidt bill, sent up an explanation of his vote to be printed in the Journal. He said that in supporting the Catch bill certain Republicans had acknowl- edged the truth of the Democratic in dictment of prohibition. For himself he did not believe in county option, but the Democrats could not offer amendments to the bill for the reason that they would be charged with try ing to weaken the bill.

IT WILL NOT DO.
saIisbury's Plan Unsatisfactory to the
 Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Lord Sails bury has been informed that his latest proposition in regard to the Bering Sea is not satisfactory to the United States. This is the net result of yesterdays cabinet meeting, when the subject was gone over fully.

But it was proposi- ton for limited zone of thirty miles around the Pribylov Islands, with the further condition that the United States catch Tn its own rockeries should be restricted.
 SirJulian Pauncefote was informed in language courteously diplomatic, but decidedly positive. that the proposition could not be entertained by the United States. And he transmitted the reply by cable.
