THE TARIFF.
The New Bill to Be Introdut cd VIII
Be Greatly Modified.
The Democrats Forced to Admit That the
Fear of Free Trade Had Great Deal to
Do With tho Late Political Rcvolu.
tion In these United States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--The result of
the recent elections will have a most
important and immediate effect on
that part of the democratic party
charged with the framing of what Mr..
Wilson, the chairman of the ways
and means committee, pronounced
a party measure" The democratic
members of this great commit.
tee of the house have already deter
mined to modify their plan of construct
ing bill which would be in great part
free trade,and the tariff part for rev.
cnue only. Conl will probably be pro.
tected slightly in order to save West
Virginia for the democratic column,
while lumber, silver and lead ore may
be given a modicum of duty to curry
favor in the northwest and in Missouri
The democrats are at last forced to
admit that the fear of free trade and
the uncertainty regarding the reduc-
tions to be made in duties already
established by the Mckinley bill have
had a great deal to do with the revolu.
ton which occurred last Tuesday. This
knowledge has caused general con-
fusion among the democratic leaders in
regard to the policy to be pursued by
which the most votes can be captured.
Mr.. Wilson's programme was to follow
the lines of the declaration of the DEM
ocratic platform, but Mr.. Cultivate,
in his speech in Ohio before the cleo
tion, declared that the new measure
would be but 'slight modification" Of
the Mckinley bill.
There is such a stampede in demo-
cratic circles on the tariff policy that
many are calling for party caucus on
the measure beforehand in order to
insure its passage and prevent gen.
eral scramble, which now seems newt
able, among members from localities
where protection is demanded for
certain articles of local interest which
may be unsatisfactory to several other
constituencies. A party caucus can
not be held if the bill is to be reported
according to the resolution passed be-
fore the adjournment of the house. If
the Wilson bill, us the new measure
will be called, is reported early
enough for the house to consider it
when congress reassembles there will
be no opportunity for securing har-
mony of action, and it is feared that
this will be disastrous to the chances Of
passage. 1t is recalled that when the
Mills bill was in the course of prepara-
tion it was the subject of caucus action
until one Objectionable feature after
another had been eliminated. Other.
wise it would not have passed.

Speaker Crisp Says the Bill VIII Make
Sweeping and General Reductions.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 9-Hon.
Charles L. Crisp, speaker of the house
OF representatives, spent Wednesday in
Nashville, en- route home.
The tariff bill will be reported when
congress convenes next month";" said
Mr.. Crisp, and "a clean-cut measure it
will be. 1t will provide tor revenue
tariff, and will make sweeping reduc.
tions all along the line. Many articles
which are now taxed will come in
free, and the revenue to run the govern
ment will be raised by an increase of
the tax on beer and other luxuries. I
think bill will be passed to levy an
income tax, and that the state bank
tax will be repealed" Speaker Crisp
ascribed the result of the elections to
local causes. In his opinion, the dem.
ocratic party had only to carry out the
pledges of it's platform, and the results
OF Tuesday would be forgotten before
the next presidential contest.

4 Colored Mob Attacks the Police ana Sob
dicrs While Escorting tho Notorious Phn
Evans in jail ut Bardstown.
BARDsTowN, KY, Nov. 1.-THE fury
of "a mob of several hundred men broke
loose in this town late Friday after
noon. The curses and cries of men,
mingled with the clashing of arms,
aroused the citizens to the highest
pitch, and before the trouble was
over many men were badly wound-
ed. The mob suddenly sprung
into existence, and in front of the
courthouse door q terrible race war
began over the Negro, Phil Evans, and
only after eighty men of the Louisville
Legion had charged on them with fixed
bayonets was any sort of order re-
stored. Evans has been on trial several
days for the rape of little Edna Hall,
near here, on October IA, and when re-
moved from the Louisville Jail to Bards-
town for trial, a part of the Legion had
to be sent along to protect him. The
verdict will probably be reached Satur-
day.
The riot began Friday as Evans was
being led between heavy guards Of
soldiers, to the Jail. After court had
adjourned about fifty Negroes gathered
in front of the courthouse and cheered
Evans The police interfered, but this
provoked an assault from the Negroes,
and in twinkling hundreds of men
with pistols rushed through the square
yelling Hang the - String
him up. Kill the scoundreL"
Some were referring to Evans, others
to the mob of Negroes. Men were
knocked down right and left, more
pistols appeared on every side, and in
the very middle of the mob shot was
fired with deliberate aim at one of the
leaders of the colored agitators. The
real leader, Leroy Wicklifte, received a
fracture of the skull, and was removed
by officers into the Jail, where his
wounds could be cared for. The Legion
guard moved at double-quick time,
placed Evans safely behind the bars,
and detail with fixed bayonets rushed
toward the street, at which the Ne
groes, whose number had swelled to a
hundred, retreated through an alley.
At 1880 o'clock the report was spread
that the Negroes had held a secret
meeting and would burn the town dur.
ing the night. A mob of seventy-five
men have arrived from Springfield.
The Legion guard about the Jail has
been doubled in consequence, and sew
eral families went into the country to
spend the night.

NO TARIFF TINkERING,

E1A-uoVerhor AiEer Thinks That Is What
the People Mean.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Ex-Gov. Alger, of
Michigan, arrived in the city We'd
nesday morning and registered at the
Grand Pacific hotel Speaking of the
elections Tuesday, he said:
1.-The people have spoken in Ohio,
Iowa and Massachusetts in manner
that leaves no uncertainty as to the
change OF sentiment since last fall.
The enormous majority rolled up by
Gov. Mckinley in Ohio was no sur
prise to those who have carefully
watched the drift of affairs The sig
nificance of the contest in Ohio was
that it was fought out on purely
national issues. The same influence
that gave Mckinley his magnificent
majority operated to defeat the demo-
Gratis in Iowa and Massachusetts. The
verdict in all these states indicates
that all the people have decided that
they want no tinkering with the tariff.

opporeats, The legislature is overwhelmingly
republican and stands as follows

The republican gains were uniform all over
the state and the country precincts gained as
much for Mckinley Us the voting places in the
cities or manufacturing towns. This city gave
Mr.. Mckinley 1000 mojority and the county
LOCO, going republican for the first time since
1855
The proposed taxation amendment to the
constitution is in all probability defeated. The
other amendments were also defeated, owing
TO the indifference of the voters.

account Of heavy fog, was run into
by the fast Colorado express at Egg.
gleston station, corner of Seventy.
second street and Stewart avenue, al
6:41 Wednesday evening. The express
was a heavy vestibuled train of ten
coaches. Engineer Sam NJ. Bickerman
and Fireman Herman Sinker were on
the locomotive.
The train left the jackson street sta.
tion on time, and was run at the usual
speed. The fog had been very thick
all day, and was worse Wednesday
night. 1t was impossible to see one
hundred feet. The local had an extra
heavy train and lost time. The con.
ductor or tiagmen evidently forgot the
express, as no precaution was taken tc
protect the rear end.
NitilouU moments warning the
headlight rays pierced through the
fog. The next instant the crash came,
and the monster locomotive plowed
into the coach loaded with homeward-
bound suburbanites. The scene which
followed was awful The engine COM
pletely telescoped the last car and
badly damaged the next one forward.
Every seat in the car was filled, and
hardly passenger escaped injury. - .-.-.
The roof of the coach lay on top of
the engine, and the steam pipes were
broken off, allowing the hot water and
steam to deluge the injured and i'm
prisoned victims.
The engineer and fireman had time
to jump. and received little or no in
jury. They were at once placed under
arrest and held without bail.
A ghoul was caught robbing victims
of watches and other valuables and
arrested.
All available ambulances in the city
were ordered to the scene, and the
work OF rescue began. There are fif.
teen injured at Mercy hospital and
eight or ten at Eggleston. Several OF
these can not recover.

Colorado Adopts woman sutrrape

DFNvER, Col, Nov. 9.-Returns from
the interior show steady increase in
the majority secured for woman suf-
frage. The total majority as far as
heard from is about $500 This will
probably be increased. The principal
opposition was from the southwestern
counties.
Returns from the county elections
show republican gains in almost every
county and populist losses. Although
tuesday was only county elections, yet
5000 more votes were polled in the
State than at last years state and pres
idential election. 1t is Il remarka BILE
showing considering the fact that the re-
cent general depression was supposed to
have driven hundreds of men from
Colorado. In Arapahoe county the en-
tire republican ticket except justice of
the peace was elected by about 200
plurality. In other counties the result
is almost similar
