IN HOMEOPATHIC DOSES.
That's How the Democrats VIII Deal
Ont Tariff Reform.

out IafiI lseIofin.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Mr. Springer
and his 'piece-meai' policy of tariff re-
vision were triumphantly vindicated
yesterday in the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House, the Democratic mem
bers OF that committee deciding by "A vote
OF TO not 70 frame IA general tariff bill,
but to attack, by succession of joint
resolutions or otherwise, single features
of the Mckinley law.
The seven new members of the commit
tee, all supporters of Mr.. Crisp, voted to
repudiate the Wood Morrison Mills
method of tariff reduction, and to expert
ment with Mr.. Springer's policy of seper-
ate and isolated attacks upon the tariff
schedules. The three older members who
had seen service on the committee in for
mer Congresses, opposed the Springer pro.
gram and stood out for a genuine effort TO
"smash the tariff" such as had been made
so disastrously in 1855 at the instigation OF
President Cleveland.
These who voted TO sustain Mr.. Sprin-
gers proposal were the chairman himself
and Messrs. Montgommery, Whiting,
Shively, Cochran, Stevens and Bryan. In
opposition to it were Messrs. Mcmillan,
Turner of Georgia, aud Wilson, Of West
Virginia
No decision was reached as what portion
of the Mckinley law should he attacked
first. but Mr.. Springer's free wool bill will
probably be put ahead of all other meas
ures.

REED AND BLAND.
They Have a Tilt in the House Over
Rules,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-In the House to-
day Reed of Maine asked that members
be allowed TO introduce bills under the
the custom that prevailed in the last Con-
gress, submitting them to the speaker for
reference.
Bland of Missouri objected and said
that the reason he did so was because the
speaker of the last House did not refer
them to the proper committees.
Reed retorted good naturedly that "he
hoped the gentleman did not mean to in
sinuate that the present speaker would
follow an evil example"
The motion was made to postpone
further consideration of the rules till Mon
day, and this led To scene of good
humored flllibustering by the Republicans
until, the hour for the special memorial
services for Congressman Houck having
arrived, Taylor of Tennessee proceeded TO
address the House in eulogy.

served upon caucus Chairman Holman to-
day call for Democratic House caucus,
to be held next Friday evening at 1;30, to
consider party action on the subject of
silver legislation.
Interviews with Democratic members
indicate that not few OF them will refuse
10 enter the caucus, and cast doubt upon
the likelihood OF caucus decision bind
ing the members to vote for or against
free coinage. The free coinage men cite
the refusal of Messrs. Williams and lIoar
TO abide by the caucus decision in the
matter of the speakership because of the
silver question, and say the 'autis" will
rebel against a free coinage mandate.

NEW YoRK-The results of the week are
Disappointing The market instead of at
tanning more conservative basis has been
erratic and the fluctuations in some stocks,
violent, apparently without good reason.
It has been a good speculative market but
its feverfshness has driven away some of
the good outside element.
The sharp movements up and down in
the Coalers and the Goulds seem TO nave
been engineered solely by professionals
taking advantage of the momentary con-
ditions Of the market. The record Of gains
or losses in prices is not OF such i'm
portance as the tendency of the market to
relapse into the hands Of the trading ele-
ment.
What is needed is broad and well dis
tributed market. We have taken a step
backwards but it is one that can very
easily be retracted.
The fear of Chilean complications has
broken the week and even after their prac-
tical solution many outsiders still mani
fest a waiting disposition. How
ever, one OF these sudden changes
in the speculative temper OF
the public, that the record of the past
contain, may occur at any moment, and
1t would not surprise us il next week
should bring forth sufficient commission
business to more than counteract the
effects Of professional raids on week spots.

The Statute to he Amended to Include

Adjutant-General Dyer has had some
talk with Gov Ladd about chapter 1,023
of the public states, which relates to the
retired list of commissioned efficers and
the granting OF service medals. Section
of this chapter is not complete, Gen. Dyer
thinks 1t reads:
In recognition of honorable service In the
Rhode Island militia. every enlisted man who
shall have served seven successive years in the
same, shall upon the completion OF such term.

the Adjutant-General.
The acknowledgement thinks IL is unfair
TO any officer who has served part of the
seven years in the ranks and the re-
mainder as officer To exclude him from
title to a service medal and the intended
amendment will make it read
"In recognition Of honorable service in the
Rhode Island militia, every man who shall
have served seven successive years whether as
commissioned, non-commissioned officer or
private i'm the same shall, upon the complexion
of such term, receive "a service medal" upon

MKsEsPoRT MATTERS.

A Colored Barber Arrested for an Old
Crime-Craig for Federal Building.
McKEEsPoRT, Feb 24.-[SpeciaL Con
siderable excitement was caused here at
o'clock this afternoon by the arrest of
William Boston, a colored barber, by two
detectives, and when it was ascertained
what Boston was wanted for, the surprise
and excitement increased. The men were
City Detective Charles Still, of York, Pa,
and Detective Johnston, of Allegheny. He
is wanted for waylaying and robbing
prominent citizen of York one night during
the year of 1885, and also for breaking Jail
at York. Mr.. Still said "Boston is dam
gerous man. His York victim was beaten
almost to death, and after being robbed of
all his money and gold watch, was thrown
into canal, but managed to recover after
many months of suffering. Soon after his
arrest he managed to make his escape, also
Hberating three other prisoners -Four
wears ago Boston was married in public at
Lyceum Hall to daughter of Rev. Sandy
Christian, an old colored minister. Ten
cents was charged admission, and many
presents were received.
A. X. Craig, who expects to succeed Con-
gresham Andrew Stewart writes the Com
mittee on Federal Buildings, that the con-
test case VIII go before congress next lnurs-
day, and that soon after he will do all with
in his power to assist in securing for

THE BRoKEN-UP BEAVER GANG
Believed to Be Connected Also With the
Burgett.town Marauders.

BEAVER FALLS. Feb. al Special i
The identity of the men who so desperately
attacked Officers Cornell and Green last
night, still remains a mystery. The man
who was shot in the side gives his name as
John Strickler, but the officers believe it is
an alias. The man shot in the mouth gives
his name as Robert Wilson, and this seems
to be his proper name, as he claims Pitts
burg as his home and tells of his friends
there. The third man, shot in the elbow,
says his name is Frank Brady. This is be-
heved to be true, as Detective Lazarus
identifies him as an oil well tool-dresser and
says he is hard case
Detective Wilson, of the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railroad, saws he is positive the
men belong to freight robbing gang who
have been working in Burgettstown and
along the Monongahela river, and believes
the man Strickler is one of the leaders of
the gang. There was fourth man in the
crowd, but so far he has escaped arrest.
Wilson, who was shot in the mouth, says
this man was also wounded, but slightly,
and escaped with him to New Brighton,
where he disappeared. This afternoon the
three wounded men were committed to Jail
on the charge of felonious shooting. The
man shot in the mouth is in bad way.
His jaws are torn away and he cannot eat.
The ball in Officer Cornell's body was cut
out to-day, and he will soon recover. Pitts
burg officers will be here soon to identify
the prisoners.
