RESOLUTIONS Adopted The Manu-.
factureFs Prosperous

New YoRx, Jan, l2,-The national
association OF wool manufacturers be-
gan its twenty.elghth annual meeting
at the Fifth avenue hotel to-day, The
meeting was given up to the discussion
Of theIwool tariff. The discussion was
heated and resulted in q series Of reso,
lutions which they refused to give out
for publication, Secretary Northaaid,
however. thai the men were almost
unanimously in favor OF leaving the
tariff as it is. Tho great majority OF
tho manufacturers are doing well.
Mr.. Whitman declined to accept the
position Of president. He has held
the position Tor nine years, but as he
was o Republican and protectionist
he said he did not want 70 hold the
office during @ Democratic administFa-
tion. fearing his political ideas might
interfere with the association's inter-
ests,
Among the members Of the executive
committee were Hon. w. II, Hale, Of
Springfield, Mass, /; Joseph Sawyer, Bos-
ton; William Whitman, Boston; d. u.
Einstein, New York; James Dobsoh,
Philadelphia; William II. Grundy,
Philadelphia. In their resolutions the
association explained their attitude by
saying, in the main, that any interfer-
ference with the present tariff would
ruin tho woolen idustry and It's kin>
dred branches. It is understood that
Mr.. Frost has accepted the Office Of
president only temporarily. Is.
Resolutions were also adopted urging
upon Congress the Importance Of main-
tanning the specific form OF duty, or
some part Of it, in the schedule in &C.
cordance with the recommendation OF
the late Secretary Manning, The reso-
lutions say:
We protest against any measure Of
tariff revision which singles out a par
ticular industry like the wool manufac.
ture for reductions Of duty, which arc
not applied impartially and aimultane-
ously to all industries. The customs
administration act Of 1890 haa
provided for the first time in
our history u uniform, impar.
tial and effective administration OF
the tariff luws, which an expert tri-
bunal for tho determination Of disputed
rates and classification, such az is neces-
sary under any tariff law for the honest
collection Of the duties imposed by that
law. We strongly urge the retention OF
this law in substantially its present
form, as law equailyin the interests Of
the government, the manufacturer and
the importer.

now in the hands OF the legislature,
which statement visibly impressed
those present with the belief that the
case was only sprung for delay and par
tisan purposes.
The court suggested Its dismissal, but
Mr.. Hubbard insisted that the case pro-
ceed, and that it mako the same orders

and tho earlier Fisher va. Charleston

impressed with tho belief that the old

CHEsTEKTowN, Mn, Jan. 12.--All last
night heavy flakes of snow fell thick
and fast, special policemen patrollod
the town dfeading the visit OF a lynch
ing party. But the indignant citizens
did not storm the jail and the four
negroes condemned to die tomorrow
for tho murder of j. H. Hill passed a
restless night in their cells.
The rumors OF lynching had become
so loud that the unfortunate men heard
them, and in consequence had little in.
clination to sleep. The removal OF the
other four men yesterday morning
through Governor Browns Intervention
made them more reflective, and during
the night they thumbed their bibles
continuously.
Excitement here md throughout the
county is at the highest pitch and the
difficulty Of travel over the snow bound
roads is regarded generally as the main
factor in preventing the talked OF lynch
ing last night. The overwhelming sen.
timent throughout the county was OPP.
posed TO commutation Of any OF the
sentencos,an just as strong as that OPP
position was, so strong is the feeling
against Gov. Brown, who was hung in
eRgy in Millington last night.
