MANY RADICAL CHANGES.
The Rough Draft of the Tariff Bill Now in
Cleveland's Hands.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-It is under
stood that the rough draft of the pro-
posed tariff bill is now in the hands of
President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle for perusal. Some OF the
features of the bill are radical. The
Springer free wool bill, which passed
the house in the last congress, is in
corporated into the bill practically
without change. There is to be rad
ical cut made in the glass schedule.
There will beconsiderablee enlargement
of the free list by the addition of raw
materials and a heavy cut in all duties
which are not properly revenue duties.
The idea of a tariff for revenue only is
adhered to quite closely, but this ap-
plication may not be made to coal
and iron ore, which go on the free list,
and there is very considerable shaw
ing down of the entire iron and steel
schedule. The tax on whiskey will be
increased not above 20 cents. An in
crease in the beer tax is practically
decided. The membership of the sub
committee have not quite made up
their minds on the sugar question,
but they are determined not to try
to get any revenue out OF sugar. The
sugar bounty will go, however. Either
an income tax or an Inheritance tax
will be provided to increase the reve-
/ nues.

LAST OF THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Jack White, Alias Ben Hall, is Killed Near

KALIsPELL, Oct. 23.-The fourth
and last one of the train robbers who
held up the Northern Pacific train,
Aug. 20, has been run down. Jack
White, alias Ben Hall, now lies dead
in the morgue at this place, having
been killed this afternoon near Coram,
about thirty miles east of here. j. p.
Gensman and Joe Fitzpatrick brought
the dead body of the bandit in on a
passenger train tonight. To the indie
pendent correspondent Gensman told
the following story of the capture:

quite conversation, during which he
confessed that he was one of the gang
that did the Northern Pacific job.
"White has been along the Great
Northern line since the fight at Mid
vale. He said he had been at Summit
since the shooting-at that point, and
asked me if all the rest of thegang had
been captured. l told HIM could dc

Worth It.

They are able to count up the full
cost of the Worlds Fair now. The
figures showing the amount are wor-
thy of special consideration. The
total expenditure reaches $3O,261,-
$50. This is more than three times
the most extravagant estimates made
at the time Chicago undertook the
work of providing the fair. No one
who has seen the great exposition can
doubt that the game is worth the
candle. And great credit is due to
Chicago for not hesitating to do things
on a broad scale and with a liberal
hand. Blessings are said to brighten
as they take their flight.-New York

man who killed him. The jury took
u recess in order to get witnesses.
This move gave rise to all sorts of
rumors and conjectures. The public
was not inclined to believe Gensman's
story. The cowardly manner in which
he entrapped and killed the train rob-
Der created a prejudice against him.
1t was feared that a serious blunder
had been made. A
Blackfoot who positivsso so~zdentifed
the dead body as that of White, who
was with the train robbers before the
fight at Midvale. One witness, cook
in the restaurant at BIackfoot, swore
that the man lying dead had paid for
weeks board for the man Jones,
who is now in Jail at Helena. The
evidence all corroborates Gensman's
story.
The coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict to the effect that White was
killed by j. p. Gensman with felonious
intent. Complaint was filed in a JUS
tice's court charging Gensman with
murder in the first degree, and a pre-
liminary hearing was set for Monday
in order that witnesses may be gotten
here from Choteau county. Instead
of winning laurels as hero, Gensman
languishes in jail. While the people
rejoice over the fact that a desperate
character has been run down and
given his just deserts, they feel that 1t
is a bad precedent to establish to al
low private citizens to shoot down
men guilty of crimes. Gensman had
ample time to report the whereabouts
of White to the proper officers, who
could have taken him alive, as White
had no cartridges. 1t was an empty
revolver that he attempted to draw
on Gensman. The slayer's greed to
secure the $500 reward has lost him
much sympathy that he would other
wise have shared.

KALIsPELL, Oct. 27.-The killing of
Jack White has developed into a great
sensation owing to the finding of the
coroner's jury and the arrest of j. P.

tending to establish the identity of
the dead man, lying in the morgue

CHICAC0'S MAYOR SHOT
Carter Harrison Killed by a Crank
--Dies in Twenty Minutes.
The Fellow Gives Himself Up Claiming the
Mayor Promised to Appoint Him Cor
poration Counsel.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Another crazy
crank has done his deadly work, and
Carter HI. Harrison, five times mayor
of Chicago and one of the best known
men in the west, lies dead at his home,
231 South Ashland boulevard. Three
wounds sufficient to cause death.
The murder was committed by Pat
rick Eugene Pendergast, a paper car
rier, who had neciared that May CT
Harrison had promised to make him
corporation counsel and had not
kept his word. This, he said was the
only reason for committing the crime.
The only person in the house at the
time of the shooting, beside Mr.. Har-
rison, was his son, William Preston
Harrison, aged 25, and the servants.
Shortly before 8 o'clock the door
bell rang and when Mary Hansen, a
domestic, opened the door she was
confronted by a man about five feet
high, smooth shaven, clean cut feat.

Ts Mr.. Harrison IMP" asked the
man in a quiet, pleasant voice.
"Yes, SIR" responded the girl, as
she threw open the door to admit his
entrance.

said the man, as he walked toward
the back end of the hall.
Harrison was in the dining room
which opened in the rear OF the hall
Hearing the man ask for him b,
stepped into the hall and walked to
ward Pendergast. Without saying G
word Pendergast drew his revolver
and commenced to fire. He pulled
the trigger but three times and every
bullet hit the mark. One bullet shat
tered Harrison's left hand. Another
passed into the lower right side OF hi.
abdomen, making wound that would
have been mortal within a few days
The third bullet entered his chest
slightly below the heart. This WOUND
was the immediate cause OF death.
Every possible effort was made tt

physician to arrive, reached tn,
mayors side, he was dead.
About twenty-five minutes after TIN
shooting, Sergeant Frank Mcdonald
was standing in the Office of the Des
PLANES street police station. Ever,

out to work on the case and McDon
