TARIFF QUESTION.
Wool Men Appear Before the Ways
and Means Committee.

Wool Men Appear Before the Ways
and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia large dele
cation of wool men appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee to-day.
Charles II. Clark of Philadelphia, repre-
senting the Manufacturers Club, said
he believed the depression affecting man
ufacturing to be due in part to the appre-
hension entertained by manufacturers
that there would be a fulfillment of the
threat of radical changes in the duties on
imported materials. The manufacturers
are afraid to buy. Many mills had ceased
operations completely and a much greater
number were. running upon short time.
Many had already been compelled to re-
duce wages. He expressed the opinion
that relief may be afforded Immediately
by the assurance that the committee
would not assail the tariff law in such a
manner as to expose manufacturers to
unequal competition from Europeans,
working with lower wage scale.
5. n. d. North of Boston read resolu-
tons adopted by the National Wool Man
utactures' Association, which lauded the
Mckinley bill and deprecated the passage
OF any measure to reduce the tariff sched-
ule on wool.
Theodore Justice of Philadelphia as
sumed that it was the intention of the
committee to put wool on the free list.
and anticipated that such action would
destroy the second largest agricultural
interest in the country. He declared that
the cost of transporting wool from one
section of this country to another was u
per cent. greater than the cost of trans
portation from foreign countries to Amer
lea. he said the wooden mills through
out the country were being closed daily,
and attributed it to the fact that Presi-
dent Cleveland said that within a few
months wool wonld be placed on the free
list

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
Terrible Crush of Land-Seekers at the
Registering Booths.

registering Booths.
ARKANSAS CITY (Kas.) J, Sept. I2.-When
the Cherokee strip registering booths
were opened this morning there was a
terrible crush. Those in the rear seemed
to think that pushing from behind would
expedite business at the front. On the
contrary, it only impeded the work.
Four more clerks were added to the
working force, and many more certifi-
Gates were issued than yesterday. The
total to-day reached $500 Many home
seekers, despairing OF obtaining certifi-
Gates here, have departed for Orlando,
just over the south boundary of the strip
Yesterday 2,725 certificates were issued
there.
The line in front of the booths held its
place all last night. Men, women and
children, negroes and Indians,
were packed in common
umbering persons in line was
adopted, and those wing numbers were
allowed to go and come at will. This
proved great convenience.
Az saltwater, twenty miles east of Or
Iando, 1000 certificates were issued yes
terday, and about the same number to-
day. Many more people are waiting at
both places. The scarcity of water and
the intense heat have caused the death of
several children. Trains of wagons a
mile in length and in squads of forty and
fifty passed through Guthrie to-day bound
for the strip, and hundred arrived on
trains from the south. The Cherokee In
dians have chosen the most desirable site
for their allotment, and several OF them
have combined to establish q string of
towns along the Santa Fe.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-This was another
big day at the Worlds Fair, as far as at
fractions were concerned, Colorado
Maryland and Kansas celebrating. The
Centennial State had decorated it's build
ing in most elaborate manner, and a
great crowd thronged it. Governor

lis, and attracted much attention. At the

dered complimentary reception, at
which everybody had good time, and

VALLEJO, Sept. l2.-Preparations are
under way for the reception of the

reported here the commission pennant
will be hauled down and the vessel put

the Secretary of the Navy.
1t is more than probable that both the

The Thetis will resume survey duty, and

Naval Constructor Taylor has large

Yesterday an attempt was made to cap

workmen to make repairs. The strain
brought to bear on the bottom angle iron
was too great and something gave way
necessitating a suspension of operations
This repair must be made at once, as the

is such that it is unsafe to work IN. To

HOME RULE BILL.
Circular Issued by the National Fed

Circular Issued by the National Fed
Grafton Against the Lords.
LONDON, Sept. 12.-The National Fed
Grafton tonight issued circular against
the House of Lords. In the circular the
Federation declares that seven years dis
cussion and eighty-two days considera-
ton by the House of Commons definitely
ascertained the wishes off 900, 600 electors,
yet this counts for nothing when opposed
to the views of 400 conservative peers.
The circular concludes that as the home
rule bill passed the House of Commons.
and was rejected by the house of Lords,
it is doubly certain to become a law. 1t
also says, not only will the Irish question
be settled, but that real era of reform is
dawning for the democracy of the United
Kingdom.

MERGED, Sept. 12.-The Merced Pro-
hibitlonists are preparing to have more
fun in the Supreme Court soon, similar

ter contingent, wanted to defend his

from the court on the validity OF the or

Scarcely One-Tenth of Those Invited
Attend.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The National
Congress of Business Men met TODAY.
with 200 representatives of Boards of
Trade of the principal cities present.
D. r. James of New York called the
assemblage to order, saying that the OBJ
ject Of the meeting was to call for the i'm
mediate repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman Act and to consider the
financial interests of the country.
B. II. Warner of Washington was
chosen temporary Chairman.
The attendance was rather disappoint-
ing, scarcely one-tentn of those who re-
sponded to the invitations sent out by the
New York Board of Trade and Trans
pOrtation coming. However, at the time
the invitations were sent out the mone-
tary stringency had not developed. The
invitations announced the object of the
meeting TO be the discussion of the finan-
clal interests ofthe country, and to ask the
National Congress to repeal the sherman
Act. Mr.. Warner, in his address, smoke
OF this, and said it was also intended to
ask Congress for the appointment of a
National Non-partisan Commission to
consider the future financial situation,
Ex-Governor Stannard of Missouri was
selecleu Iresluent OF the meeting, and a
ice-President was chosen from zach Of
the States represented.
When the Committee on Resolutions
reported an effort was made to hitch on a
free silver clause in place of the anti-sil-
yer section, but the attempt was a failure.
The resolutions declare that the failure
to repeal the purchase clause of the Sher-
man law will plunge the business inter-
estS Of the country into more serious
crisis than that from which they are now
beginning to emerge.
The President was authorized, if he
deemed necessary in future, to call an
other convention to continue the work
already begun.
After disposing of other matters the
congress adjourned sine die.
