TuE NORTHWEST FIGHT.

|
The great center of interest in this
presidential campaign is very likely
to be the northwest. The uncertain.
ty of the outcome of the third party
movement, which has its stronghold
in the territory west of the great
lakes, invests that region with UNI
usual interest. Heretofore that Sec
ton has been 30 solldly republican
that the democracy made no claims
to 1t, combining their efforts to New
York and some two or three other of
the northern STATES. This year the
whole situation is changed. New
York and the east are almost certain
to 60 overwhelmingly republican,
but the northwest is in doubt. This
changed condition of things is not
owing to any increase of democratic
strength in that quarter, but to the
efforts of the alliance and other move
ments to carry the agricultural states
for the third party. The gravity of
the situation Is greatly Increased by
the addition of several states in the
northwest since the last general cleo
ton. giving to that territory q much
greater power in the electoral college
than 1t has heretofore had. The de-
mocracy have not been slow to take
advantage of the new movement to
strengthen themselves in q section of
the country where they have hitherto
been as effectually shut out as the
republicans have been from the solid
south. Whatever combinations can
be made with the third party in this
or any other section of the country to
weaken the republican vote will be
done. Failing themselves to carry |
the country for their candidate it is to
the interest of the democratic party
to prevent the republicans from SO do |
ing and thus throw the election of a |
president into congress. This would |
of necessity insure the selection eff a |
democrat for that Office, as congress is |
overwhelmingly democratic. Party
feeling is stronger with the demo
Gratis than with the repu blicans, as is
ever the case as between the party OF
traditions and the party of ideas. The
democratic leaders calculate on the
force of this fact. and are ready to aid |
all disintegration, knowing that
when the round up comes at the
polls in November 1t will be easier
to prevent their followers from
boiling the regular nomination than
t will be for the repu blicans to keep
their rank and file in column. As the |
advances it will become
clear that the northwest is the battle |
ground. The situation has this en-
in 1t. There is ground |
to work upon in the intelligence Of
the republican masses of the north.
west, and they will be more amenable
to reason than the masses who, fresh |
from foreign soil, in our eastern cities,
are to be persuaded to vote the ticket !
rather than bought to exc out ma |
jority for some special candidate. AS
between the two regular parties there
is not q reasonable doubt that the |
republican party would win by q
handsome majority, but under the ex.
listing complications the result is so
uncertain that every effort will be
necessary to preserve to the country
the blessing of u continued republic
can administration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Arrangements
for the visit of members of the Fifty-sec-
ond Congress to Chicago on Washington's
birthday, the I'D of February, for the
purpose of inspecting the Worlds Fair
site and buildings in course of construc-
ton, are now complete, and formal in
vltations were to-day issued by Chair
man Durborow, of the Committee on the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. The
visitors will leave Washington by special
train February 10Th over the Baltimore

chicago on Saturday afternoon about

Further Hearing on the Pending Bill
Before the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. = The Senate
Committee on erstateCommerce to-day
heard further argument upon the pend
ing bill to amend the Interstate Com
merce Act, so as to clothe the commits
sion's decisions with judicial force, and
otherwise make its provisions more
stringent.
j. X. Cowan, General Counsel of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, made long
argument to show the bill was unconsti-
tutional. He asserted the doctrine laid
down by the Supreme Court was that
what is a reasonable rate for transporta-
ton is a judicial question which cannot
be determined by the Legislature or any
body except a court of justice. By no
power or device could Congress take
away from the courts the determination
Of that question. The commission was
not court, yet the bill proposed to de-
volve judicial functions upon it. He
then proceeded at some length to point
out the objections TO the probable practi-
cal workings of the bill, which he said
violated the first principles Of Anglo
Saxon fair play. In but two cases had
the Commissioners interviewed III court to
secure the enforcement of the law. In
% per cent. of the cases the railroad COM
panieS had said: without questioning
your opinion on the subject we yield"
What then was the occasion for this ex-
traordinary movement for additional
power to the commission?
Continuing, he asserted the railroad
companies were being bound by the
commissions record, and would insist
for their own protection on making that
record absolutely complete. That would
require a repetition in each case of an
enormous mass of evidence taken in pre-
ceding cases, which would consume much
time and defeat the very purpose of the
hill

cordance with the pledges of the party to
the people, any deficiency in the revenues
to be covered by graduated income tax.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-There has been
a substantial agreement by the wool spe-
cial committee of the Democratic ma
ioriy of the Ways and Means Committee
on the provisions of the wool bill. The
changes made in the bill drafted by
Springer are not formerly made up, but
very substantial reductions are made in
the duties on wooden manufactures pro-
posed by Springer's bill. The ad valorem
duties on wooden manufactures Of all
kinds, including cloths, dress goods, car
pets and all other wool articles imported
under the Mckinley law, and which rates
were left unchanged by the Springer bill,
have been cut down wherever in excess
of 40 per cent, and the average rate OF
duty proposed by the new bill on woolen
goods is about per cent. below the uni
form rate of 40 per cent.
Under the agreement wool IS made
free, as proposed by the Springer bill,
and all duties on woolen manufactures,
where 40 per cent. or less under the exist
ing law, are unchanged; where more
than 40 per cent, they are reduced to that
rate so no wooden duties will be higher
than Mills rate, and those on cheaper
grades of goods will be less.
Under the Mckinley law the duties
range from 30 to 90 per cent, so there is a
reduction of 20 per cent. made from the
highest rate now imposed, and the aver
age rate is brought down to about 80 per
cent. on shoddies and waste the agree
ment adopts the Springer rate of so per
cent, against the present rate OF 30 cents
per pound. All Compensatory duties, of
course, are taken OFT, as raw wool is made
free, so the present per pound and per
yard duties will be abolished if the bill
becomes law, anu only ad valorem du-
ties retained.
Members of the committee say the
wool bill will be the principal measure
reported, and an examination of its pro-
visions will show not only that no step
backward has been taken in tariff reform,
but that step in advance OF considerable
Importance has been taken, and that on
the wool schedule. regarded by all tariff
reformers as the key to the protective sys-
tenn, reductions are made greater than
those proposed by the Democrats two

DENVER, Feb. 10.-A dispatch received
this afternoon from New Mexico, stating
that the Navajo Indians have gone on the

near Albuquerque, created great excite
ment. Later advices show that the first re-

Coolidge, \. NJ, tonight says the trouble

cattle.
Chief Mariana was requested ten days
ago to remove the Indians. This was
granted, but on Tuesday three Indians
were found coming down trail toward
Chavez, and the cowboys ordered them
back. They started back, and on a
bluff built a signal fire. Soon forty rene
gade Indians came to their assistance in
defiance of the cowboys, but promised
not to treSpaSS.
There were no cowboys at Chavez at
the time, but the Indians claimed that
their deserted camp had been burned by
cowboys and they We're going to get

MADRID, Feb. 10.-Four leaders of the

the town of Here's We're garroted TODAY.
Ihe platform on which the men were ex-
ecuted was surrounded by detachments
OF infantry and cavalry, and the route
1rom the jail to the platform was lined
with soldiers with loaded rifles. The ex-
ecutions were public, and the Plaza and
streets leading to it were packed with a
dense mass of people,
The names Of the four men executed
were Busigni, Zarzatella, Lamala and Le-
brijano.
When the prisoners mounted the scaf-
1old they We're accompanied by four exc
cutloners, and by priests and monks.
Aarzatella was greatly excited and his de-
meanor showed that he was terribly
frightened. But the other three culprits
were calm and resigned. The condemned
men were led to the chairs, in which the
eXecuuonerS securely bound them. The
metal collars We're placed about their
necks, and then each executioner took
ms position at the back of the posts and
gfasped the powerful leverage operating
the garrote. At a given signal each exc
SotioAei gave Snarp turn OF the lever,
ana each of the condemned men died in
stantly. After the executions. though
