THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

1t Is Said to Be in No Sense a Free
Trade Document.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The latest
rumor about the new tariff bill to be
promulgated by the house ways and
means committee is that Chairman
Wilson has already rough draft of
the measure. It is claimed that the
measure now drafted has incorporated
in it the views of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle. 1t is said that
Chairman Wilson has not the intention
of reporting the bill to the house for
Elk weeks or two months. He certainly
will not report it until the election re-
peal and Sherman acts are disposed of.
Those who claim to have inside infor-
nation declare that the bill drafted
does not make any radical cuts in
schedules now in operation and is in no
case free trade document.

PrTsBURG. Sept. 28.-The scale con-
ference Of the eAmalgamated association

without settling the wage question
three months ago. reconvened during
the afternoon at the request Of the
workmen. The prospect for such a
settlement as will insure the immedi-

the last conference, for the manufac-
turers say that even with straight 10
per cent reduction they will still be
paying higher wages than competing
non union mills.
It is reported that the Manufacture
ers' association in the iron and steel
sheet mills are desirous of further re-
vision of their scale, claiming that un-
der the present rate of wages they can
not successfully operate their works.

Story Of the Mineral Range
Hold Up Told by La
Liberty.
Only $1,1OO Of the Missing
Money Recovered by the
Officers.

HOUGHToN, Mich. Sept. 28.-The ex-
animation of John King, Jack Butler,
George La Liberty and the Hogan
brothers, charged with the robbery of
so, 900 from q Mineral Range train a
couple Of weeks ago, took place during
the morning. The bank officials testi-
fed to the packing and shipping of the
money and the express officials at
Houghton to receiving the same. Then
La Liberty was placed on the stand and
testified to the manner in which the
robbery was committed. He said that
the hold up was planned by Butler
and King, and that he was induced to
join the plot because he was ont of
work and needed money to raise a
mortgage falling due on the La Liberty
homestead at Marquette. Boston
Crossing was chosen as the place for
the robbery on account of
Its Lonely Situation
and a heavy up grade. La Liberty
drove to Boston Crossing Thursday
night, Sept. IA, and stayed there all
night. King and Butler joined him
there shortly after 8 o'clock Friday
morning and all three donned the
masks and busters they had provided
themselves with. AS the train reached
the crossing La Liberty stepped out
and tagged it. AS the engine slowed
up he boarded it and drove the en-
gineer and fireman back and then ran
the train along for about 600 feet, while
his companions broke into the express
car. When he rejoined King and But
Ter they had bag full of money. The
three men drove to town and went di-
rect to La Liberty's boarding house
and put the money in trunk and the
latter was locked. The trunk was
taken to the South Shore depot and
Checked to Marquette.
He saw the trunk safely on board and
then got on the engine and rode to Mar
quette. He gave young Hogan the
check for it and he brought it to the La
Liberty house after several hours de-
lay. He noticed that one hinge was
broken. When the trunk was unlocked
the cover dropped off and he found only
81, 100 of the stolen money in the
trunk. He could not say what had be.
come of the other $60, 900. After La
Liberty had concluded his evidence all
the prisoners were bound over to the
circuit court for trial in bonds of $1O,-
600 each.
1t seems probable from La Liberty's
statement and testimony that the
thieves wereirobbed as claimed when ar
rested. The majority of the people in
this vicinity, however, believe that the
others of the gang suspected La Lib
erty of being weak-k and have sue
cessfully hidde1. the booty.
