IRON ORE TOCOME IN FREE
The Alabama Delegation Loses Its
Fight in the Committee.

All the Other Iron Ore Manufacturers
of the Country in the Same Boat
and the Fight to Be Carried on to
the Floor of the House-The Com
mittee Also Completes the Free
Wool Schedule.
Washington, New. 22.-The iron ore men
have been defeated, and the men who
have combatted so valiantly to keep this
article off of the free list were
to-day informally notified by mem
Ders of the ways and means
committee that it had been finally de-
cided by the democratic members that
iron ore would be placed on the free list
This is the most important development
of the day, as it leaves the iron
ore men of Alabama, Virginia and Michi-
gan no alternative but to carry their
fight on the floor of the House. This they
are now threatening to do, and it is more
freely stated than ever that the new tariff
bill containing this new provision will be
opposed in the House by the solid demo-
cratic delegation from Alabama, and in
the Senate by Senators Morgan and
Pugh.
The Western Iron Ore Association,
through President George II. Ely, of
Cleveland, Ohio, has made vigorous pro-
test to the committee.
THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
The committee to-day concluded the
wool schedule of the new tariff bill The
measure provides for the admission free
of duty of all wools, hair of the camel
goat, alpaca, and other like animals and
of wool and hair on the skin; noils, top
an aH
wholly or in part of wool and also repeals
what are known as the compensatory du-
ties on woolen goods and reduces the ad
Valorem duties on such goods.
1t also repeals the compensatory duties
upon carpets of all kinds, rugs and mats,
and reduces thead valorem duties thereon
from 40 per cent. advalOrem to 30 per cent
advalorem 1t also reduces the duties
upon certain qualities of waste which
have been advanced beyond the condi-
tion of secured wool, by the use of ma
chinery or by the application of labor, to
% per cent. ad valOrem. The duty on
shoddy mungo, and certain other waste is
put at 20 per cent ad valorem.
THE TAX ON WHISKY.
Over 1000 petitions, kilograms and
memorials have been received by the
members of the committee from temper
ance societies throughout the country,
asking that the whisky tax will be raised
A telegram from Iowa Falls, Ia says
we have tried state prohibition, and
find that we cannot cope with the evil.
Prohibition don't always prohibit but if
the general government places a heavy tax
on the product, it will tend to lessen the
output of the cursed stuff" Many ap-
peals come from branches Of the Woman 5
Christian Temperance Union asking the
committee to raise the tax on whisky to
$150. Meantime the distillers are silent
on the subject

PEIxoTo HARD PRESSED.
The Treasury Empty and the Rebels
Making Gains.


London, Nov pa special to the
Times dated from Rio de Janeiro on Nov
II says; "There is a heavy artillery fire
daily. Many shots struck Villegaignon
and Fort Lago, which were much dam
aged.
Last Saturday an officer and seventeen
men were killed in the latter place by the
bursting of a shell The heavy gun at
Sac Joas has been dismounted.
THE fire from the machine guns now
makes parts Of the city dangerous. Many
casualties occur in the streets.
"Diplomatists here consider it impossi-
BILE TO take further steps for the protec-
tion of the lives and property of foreigners.
The commanders OF the foreign war
ships here concur that Admiral Mello is
inclined to lombard the city after giving
forty-cight hours notice. The general
feeling of the foreign residents favors let
ting both sides proceed without further
interference.
MELLo's PROGRAMME.
Admiral Cana confirms the statement
that Admiral Mello intended to wait um-
til the end of the revolution and then take
the vote Of the country on restoring the
monarchy.
Reports of the insurgent successes are
confirmed. They have captured Fort
Lago and are making passage in the
north. President PeiXoto is making
every preparation for the de-
fense Of the city and de-
clares that he intends to fight to the
last He expects to gain victory when
his ships arrive. The financial position
Of the government is difficult, as the

BAFFLEs THE POLICE.

The police arrested numerous suSpi-
cious characters, but the slashing CON
tinued. Within the past few days police
officers have donned citizens clothes and
are engaged in holding up all persons
found in the streets at suspicious hours.
Washington was hailed by Officers Terry
and Steurmann at 80 o'clock this morn
ing in thenOrthern part of the city He be-
came frightened and started to run,
thinking the officers, who were in citi-
zen's dress, were might doctors ="
or persons engaged in kill
ing people to sell their bodies to
medical schools-a superstitious fear that
prevails among colored people in Wash
ington. Officer Terry fred twice at the
fleeing negro, and the second shot took
effect in his back. Washington bore
good reputation, and it is certain that he
is not the "slasher," though he is not
able to give a very satisfactory explana-
tion of his presence on the streets at that
hour. His recovery is doubtful.
