NOW FOR THE BATTLE.
The Tariff struggle to BE the Coming
Event.

WASHINGTON, Dec ol.-Chairman
Wilson says the matter of bringing UT
the tariff bill in the house depends en-.
tirely upon the matter of holiday adj
tournament. II an adjournment should
come this week the bill would 60 over.
The prospects are that no attempt will
be made for consideration before the
recess. A caucus is yet to be held on
the bill. 1t may not be called until
after congress reconvenes.
To-day the democratic members of
the ways and means committee began
active work on the internal revenue
features of the bill. They are consid-
erably divided on several propositions
The first question is that of an income
tax and it looks as il the individual.tax
proposition would have to be adopted
Opposed to this plan are Messrs.
Wilson, Cochran and Stevens. There
are two others who may vote with
them. Such system, including an
inheritance tax, would make up the
main portion of the deficit 1t is
doubtful IL there will be many other
revenues increased, save those on
cigarettes and playing cards, though
upon the latter proposition there is
still considerable division of opinion.
The reason advanced against an in
ternal revenue bill is that under the
Wilson bill there will be a much
larger consumption and consequently
larger importation, and large in
ternal revenue will not be necessary.
member of the committee who has
had much TO do with the preparation
of the customs portion of the bill, and
whose views have prevailed largely,
opines that the internal revenue fea-
lures OF the bill will not extend to as
many articles as was first anticipated.
1t is probable that the internal reve-
nue. portion OF the tariff bill will be
ready TO present to the house immedi.
ately after the holiday recess.

DR.. CRoNIN'S WOUNDS
Evidence That They Caused His Death
Continued Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Juror Benson was
in his place in the jury box at the
Cronin trial in Judge Tuthills court
yesterday, completely recovered
from his attack of illness under which
he was suffering yesterday, and The
trial of Coughlin proceeded.
The cause of DR.. Cronin's death and |
the OSullivan contract were the poinn
in the evidence which the prosecute,
decided last night to prove to-day.
DIR. Charles +. Perkins, PHYSICAL
who was on the stand when court al
journed last night, resumed his test
mony. He testified that the wound
on the body were sufficient to caus
death. though he admitted that it ws|
impossible TO determine whether ths
blows were inflicted before or aii1
death.
Officer Jacobs testimony was on tn |
same lines as that of Hiatt and LorcA
He retold the story of his visit to The
Carlson cottage on Nay %. 1889, giving
n description of the furniture in the
itohs' hhuiuS VI
on the floor, the painted floor, the
pot of yellow paint, the bedaub
ing on the walls and the supposed
blood spots on the floor. Jacobs said
that the paint on the floor was daubed
on in patches and that at some of the
places near the paint patches on the
floor there were spots, probably the
size of "a mans hand, uncovered by the
paint This evidence tends TO connect
the man Simonds with the case still
more, it having been proved that he
bought paint previous to the murder
Mrs, Foy, whose testimony is awaited
with great interest, was put on the
witness stand this afternoon, but at
once withdrawn until tomorrow
when she will probably begin her story
first thing in the morning.

COUCHLiN JUROR ILL.
Apprehensions of = Mistriai Loom Up
In the Court Room.

In the COurt-kOom.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2:.-Yesteriay pro-
ccedings in the Coughlin trial were
devoid of any sensational features and
in the main dull and uninterestinp.
The states counsel introduced evil
dence to prove the cause of DR.. Gro
nin's death. and some pcrfunctory tes-
timony had TO bc called for as pre-
liminary to the examination of the
physicians who made the autopsy on
the body of the murdered man. The
much-talbcd of witnesses for the state
are expected to go on the stand either
tomorrow or Friday. Mrs. Foy is
being guarded by detectives. though
the attorney for the state saws no VIC.
lcncc is feared.
1t is possible there may be mistrial
in the case. Juror Benson is showiu,
signs of breaking down under the
strain and the close confinement. Tnes-
day he was seized with a terrible head
ache and spent most of the day living
down. Yesterday he was somewhat
better, but still looked white and
drawn. Several times during the DAVIS
proceedings Benson was obliged TO re-
tire. once delaying the progress of the
case for half an hour.

present tariff is not only cruelty exor-
bitant, but is so adjusted as to bear
most heavily upon the poorer people
1T may be said that we are not JUS
tilted in making such large reduction
in revenue at time when government
receipts and expenditures can no longer
be balanced and when some new
sources of temporary revenue must DC
sought for. We have been compelled
to retain some articles upon the dutia-
bic list and to hcave some duties
higher than we desired, because
of the present necessities OF
the treasury, but we have not
felt that any temporary shrinkage
of revenue should deter us from carry
ing out as faithfully and as effectually
rs we could the instructions given by
the American people when this con-
gress is put into power
"A most important change in the
bill proposed from the present law
will be found in the general su bstitu-
ton of ad valorem for specific duties
A ready and sufficient answer to the
attacks on the justice of the ad valorem
system may be found in the fact that
in no tariff ever adopted in this country
has there not been u very large intro
duction of ad valorem duties, and that
especially as to goods whose value was
most difficult of ascertain:ng. With
the improved administration of our
customs under the laws recently
adopted and to be made more perfect
by this bill there need be no fear that
the extension of this just and open sys-
tenn will lead to any of the wrongs
and abuses anticipated.
ut is the purpose of the present bill
TO repeal in toto section of the tariff
act of Oct 1, 1890, commonly, but most
enormously, called its reciprocity pro.
vision. This section has brought no
appreciable advantage to American en-
porters, is not, in intention or effect,
provision for reciprocity, but for re.
taliation. 1t innicts penalties upon
the American people by making them

The president took off his glasses

The Atlantic Ferry.

In a paper on the transatlantic
steamer traffic, read before the Liver
pool Engineering Society by Mr..
Maginnis, the confident opinion is
expressed that before many years the
passage across the Atlantic will oc-
cupy but four and half days, be-
cause speed of twenty six knots is
not at all beyond the scope of ad-
vancing improvements. In 1878, he
pointed out, the greatest horse power
of an Atlantic steamer was 5000.
Now 10000 is within sight.
The future steamers will be mail
and passenger carriers only, and Mr..
Maginnis believes that commercial
success would attend such steam
ships. Attention was drawn to the
great immunity from break downs of
machinery which characterizes the
vessels of the Atlantic, although the
voyage is admittedly the widest and
most trying in the world. In the
year from October l, 1891, to October
2, 1892, there were over 1900 sailings
from each side of the Atlantic, nearly
1000 departures, from port, averaging
nearly IA sailings a week but with
all these the writer had only been
able to trace seven break downs of
machinery and only three total dis
ablements.-The Engineer.

Something New i'm the Girl Line.

There is a girl in San Francisco
who can cure headaches-cure them
without q bit of medicine. She just
lays her hand on the aching head
and that settles the whole matter.
There's something peculiar about the
girls hands. They are white and
shapely and very nice to look at, but
to touch-ugh! they're as cold as ice.
More than that, they are always
dripping wet, these strange hands.
It's an eerie thing to see handsome,
healthy girl lift her hands and let
an icy dew fall from the ends of her
fingers. She can do that any time
she wants to, and never feels the
least annoyed at the awe of the be-
holders.
She is a tall, handsome young
woman, who has never been i'll in her
life. She is rosy checked and bright
eyed and she isn't the slightest par
ticle like the typical healer. She
works in big hot factory down
town and she can cure any girl in the
place of headache or any kind of
pain. She doesn't go throug h strange
evolutions or weird lamentations.
She just pushes back her sleeves
and lays her cold, wet hands on the
aching head. The patient feels a
queer, creepy, shivery sensation
crawling down her back. The cold
hands move slowly across the hot
forehead of the sufferer, the throb-
bling pain stops, the twitching of the
eyelids ceases and the headache is
gone.--.S. T. Examiner.

DISTRICT COURT.
Chinese and Che Fa Cases Take
Up Much Time.

For some weeks past the time of
Judge Foster has been taken up in
unravelling some difficult problems
in the way of Chinese cases and
the testimony offered in the same.
With the exception of a drunk now
and then no white men have been
arrested for committing offenses
against the law for some time.
The case of Lee Sing is good
example of Chinese evidence. Sing
is a hackman. He was arrested
the other day for violating the car
riage regulations, by leaving his
horse united. The defendant told
the Court that he had just stepped
out of his hack to hand a letter to a
friend when he was arrested. The
friend corroborated his statement.
The policeman who made the arrest
swore that Sing was absent from
his hack for not less than twenty
minutes. He was found guilty and
fined small amount.
Another good sample case was
that of Law See, alias Sam Tai,
charged with having opium in pos
session. The police made raid on
his place at Kamoiliili one evening
last week and found tin can under
his bunk which contained several
boxes of opium pills, besides lay
out to play the seductive game
known as Russian War" Previ-
Gus to his arrest the officers gave a
'store pigeon" a marked 25-cent
piece to purchase some opium.
The coin was afterwards found in a.
tin box which was the property of
the defendant.
Tai, in the usual bland manner
peculiar to the Chinese, declared
that he was not guilty of selling
the opium, for the reason that on
the day of his arrest he was absent
from his place from early morning.
One of his cousins was placed on
the stand, who supported his state
ment. Then the prosecution brought
forth another Chinese witness, who
said he had seen Tai at his place
after . oc'"lock on the day of arrest.
Tai was foun,. % .. Ity and sentenced
to pay a fine of $50. He noted an
appeal.
Kailipaka, the native who is &C
cused of walking off with two
watches, the property of Hook
Chow, will be heard next Tuesday
at his own request.
All 10y, the Chinaman who was
found on the premises Of a tin
smith on King street, did not dis
cover yesterday what his fate was
to be. He will know to-day.
f. Onokea and G. Keawe were
each found guilty of playing che ia
and were fined $25 and $15 respec-
lively.
Two natives and one monaghan
were dismissed on the same charge,
while another Chinese fiend did not
get off so luckily. He was found
guilty and a fine of $75 was slapped
on. He noted an appeal.
Several Chinese cases were re-
manded.

ABOUT BASEBALL.
The Public Anxious About the
New Season.

When the league season of 1892
had been completed it was COM
monty reported that this year
would witness some startling
changes in the personnel of the
then existing clubs. 1t was said
that the old Honolulu nine would
disband and a number of its old
est and best players would retire
from the diamond and rest on their
well-earned laurels. 1t was also
reported that the Crescent Club,
which made such a good showing
during the season, was to weed out
several weak players and then take
in some men from the Honolulu's.
Since the season closed baseball
matters have been more than dor
mant and all the rumors were laid
to rest.
But the general public always
did take decided interest in the
local clubs and several "cranks"
have urged the ADVERTISER to stir
the boys up in regard to the COM
ing season. Last year the games
commenced about April 9th, and
as the preliminary work had been
done early in the year the clubs
were organized and in good condi-
ton when the season opened. 1t
is quite different this year, how
ever the league has had no meet
ing and absolutely nothing has
been done to start the season of
1898.
A number of members Of the
Honolulu nine appear to have
changed their minds regarding the
disbanding of the old champion
club and in all probability the
club will be seen together for at
least one more year.
The Crescent Club, which was
supposed to have had some dissen-
sion among it's members, will be
in line also, as the players have
settled their little differences and
the nine will work as one man to
capture the '93 pennant.
Nothing is known regarding the
intention of the champion Kane
hameha nine, but it is certain that
the lovers of our national game will
insist that the college club be a
member of the league.
The Hawaiis which have earned
the title of the "cripples" no doubt
will "bob up serenely" when the
time comes, as James Thompson,
who captained the team the latter
part of '92 is a Woodworking little
general, and he can be depended
on to furnish a much better team
than the club usually boasts of.
To insure the success of the
coming season, all that is neces-
sary at present is to call meeting
of the league, make preliminary
arrangements and then the boys
will have earned the thanks of the
baseball public.
