THE EMANCIPATION BILL.

New Orleans Daily States.
We now have before rs the the
tariff bill, prepared by the Dem
Committee Of Ways aud
Means, to be introduced IN Con
gress.
There are, in round numbers, IN
the United States abont seventy NIL
lions of people; or, allowing I'VE
people to family, sixteen millions
of families.
In the interest of probably ten
millions of this population, repre-
senting 400, 900 families. the pres
ent protective system. known as
McKinleyism, was instituted.
The bill just framed by the Dem
ocratic Ways and Means Committee
is directly in the interest of sixty
millions Of the American people,
comprising sixteen millions OF fam
lies
But even this statement docs not
rive an entirely clear idea of the
character of the two bills. The
| first mentioned, the Mckinley bill,
instituted in the interest of probably
ten millions of people, is scheme
of nnnitiga,ed robbery of the other
sixty millions of people, by taxing
them for the enrichment of the ten
millions. In short, the Mckinley
tariff that we now live under, Is
law directly in the interest OF the
Plutocracy.
The Wilson bin, is, while meas
ure ia the interest of sixty millions
of the American people, in, III NJ
sense of the word. an attack npoI
tie interests Of the remaining tel
millions hitherto protected AM
! specially fostered by the Mckinle.
scheme of robbery.
The Wilson bill is in the lnteres
of the sixty millions OF America

HUNTERS CABIN ON WOODED ISLAND.
,ranstaittsd to President Palmer the reso-
lutions adopted by the executive commit
tee askinezor conference on the Thomas
matter.
President. .Higinbotham says in his COM
municatien.that q subject of difference has
arisen between the commission and the
local board, and he suggests that the board
of reference and control hold meeting
this afternoon In the Rand-McNally build
ing. After long diecussion it was agreed
that the communication be received and
that the members Of the local board be
respectfully asked to hold an informal
conference with q committee from the
commission, the result Of the Conference
be reported to the commission.
A resolution was presented providing for
the presidents appointment of n commit
tee Of two to confer with the United States
district attorney in regard to any suits
which might he premeditated in regard to
forcing Sunday opening. President Higin-
bothem's communication regarding the
Thomas matter was then taken up.
A resolution was adopted that tomor-
rows session of the commission be an ex-
ecutive one aud that the general director
and the heads of departments confer as to
the best methods to be pursued for the
proper carrying on of the exposition.
Mayor Harrison caused some comment
during his speech at the dedication of the
Illinois building by earnestly advocating
Sunday opening, and finally asked those
of the audience who sfavored it to rise.
About half Of them did so. The members
of the national commission who were pres
ent resented this freak of the mayors, and
after the exercises were over declared that
il would not helm the Sunday oDeners so
far as the commission was concerned.
A point of great interest, especially to
the lady visitors, is the hunters cabin on
Wooded Island. This, from its isolated
position, is never crowded, and is a favorite
resort for lovers

Taken Up the Bay by the Spanish Cruiser
Infanta IsabeI aud Placed on Board a
Special Train for the National Capital.
Her Passage n Continuous Ovation.
NEW YoRk, May 1g.-The Spanish
steamer Maria Christina, having on board
the Infanta Eulalia. the official represen-
tative in this country Of Queen Regent
Christina Of Spain, arrived at Quarantine
last evening. Prince Antonio de Bourbon,
husband of the princess, is with her on the
steamer. Her suite consists of the Duke
OF Tamanes, chamberlain to the infanta
and two ladies in waiting. The bar was
reached at 7.05 p. m, where the vessel an
chored for the night. This was done to
carry ont the program arranged for the
reception OF the princess, those charged
with carrying it out being unprepared for
the arrival of the vessel at the time she did
A tug having on board n representative
OF the United Press boarded the Maria
Christina shortly after 10 o'clock last
night. DR.. Jenkins, health officer of the
port and his secretary, Mr.. Seguine, were
already on board, as was the commander
OF the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel. The
latter vessel has been lying at Quarantine
for the past few days in anticipation of the
arrival OF the infanta and went down the
bay to meet the Maria Christina early this
morning. 4.
Ricardo Bustamant, secretary to the in
fanta, received the United Press CORE
spondent. He said the trip frem Havana
had been most pleasant one, aud beyond
fatigue the infanta had suffered but little
Inconvenience. The princess was too tired
to see the reporter, but received Com
mandeEde Ia Vega, of the Infanta Isabel,
and couversed with him for a few minutes.
The Spanish cruiser proceeded down the
bay at o'clock this morning. reaching
the Maria Christiana at 5. The princess
was transferred 10 the Spanish cruiser,
which then proceeded to Jersey City. 1t
was originally intended, and Commander
Davis, who was detailed by the president
to look hitter the infanta, understood that
the Dolphin was to convey the princess to
Jersey City. This did not occur and the
Spanish vessel had the honor of carrying
her royal highness. The Dolphin, however,
came down the bay early this morning,
and as soon as the Maria Christina was
sighted the Dolphin approached he~ and
fired the customary salute of twenty -one
guns.
The trip up the bay was a continuous
ovation, and when the princess landed at
the wharf monster crowd cheered itself
hoarse in doing honor to the royal visitor.
The party was at once taken to the
Pennsylvania railroad depot, where a
special train of four handsome cars. con-
sisting Of a dining car, two parlor cars and
a compartment car was in waiting, in
charge Of Mr.. r. w. Parke The train left

One Of the most popular modern super
stitions is that dog bowling under tn,
window Of u sick chamber indicates til,
speedy dissolution Of the patient. Accord
ing to the early Aryan mythology, the soul
OF the dead were waited to their futur,
home by the night wind. The latter wa!
supposed TO be an enormous wolf, subse
Quently large dog, whose mission It wa.
TO gather the souls OF the departed and es
cort them TO the world beyond the grave
In this way the dog was invested with th,
attributes OF a psychopomp, guider oi
souls. According to the Romans be was
the wish hound Of Hermes, on whom de
wolves the duty Of escorting the souls OF
the dead to the River styx. When he
howlcd, 1t was a notice to the soul to quit
the bod!, sGd in some parts of Europe win.
dows are then opened so that there may be
nothing to prevent the soul from joining
the mystic cavaleade.
Akin to this is the origin OF the night
mare. The latter was supposed by the an.
cient Aryans to be a huge dog which seated
itself on the breast Of the afflicted person.
Subsequently the dog was changed into O
mara, or spirit, which visited sleeping per
sons; hence the word nightmare. The mara
frequently played ell kinds Of pranks, and
to this bit Of imagination is the world in
debted for numerous fairy stories.-New

BosToN, May 19.-The cruiser New York
reached Boston at $50 yesterday after a
good run from the Delaware breakwater.
Though there was only natural draft in
the fire rooms, and at no time did the
revolutions Of the engines exceed 102 per
minute, speed of 1647 knots was at
tained. There is every reason to hope that
the New York will exceed her contract
speed by at least one knot, thus winning
for her builders the premium of 100000
and giving to the United States the fastest
