CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-,In the special
election for mayor to fill the unexpired
term of Carter H. Harrison, assassi
mated on October % by Prendergast.
John P. Hopkins, the Democratic can
didate, was elected over George B.
Swift, Republican, by majority of
1887. The total vote is. Hopkins,
Democrat. 112.7OO; Swift, Republican,
Ill, ,313; Britzins, Socialist Labor, 1,517 !;
Wakely, Peoples Silver, 367.
The vote, which is one of the heaviest
ever polled in this city, shows de-
cided Republican gain. In several
down town wards where the heavy
lodging house vote resides, the contest
was bitter and scraps were of frequent
occurrence when the police were not at
hand. In all other portions OF the city
the voting progressed without incident.
The jury in the Cou9hlin trial did not
vote, but seven of the Prendergast
jurors voted. Late tonight the Repub-
lican city central committee decided to
contest Hopkins election, claiming that
the police returns show 900 more for
Hopkins than we're actually cast. 1t is
claimed by the committee that the Of
fetal count will give the election to
Swift.

tutions and can conceive of no circum-
stances under which we should have
advocated or approved its introduction
into our laws. We have reported a
provision for its repeal by such stages
as shall gradually obliterate it from our
laws while permitting those who have
invested large means under expecta-
tion of its continuance, reasonable
time in which to prepare to take a
stand with other industries of the
country.
The duties upon imported tobacco
leaf suitable for clear wrappers, which
were enormously advanced by the act
of 1890, have been placed at such fig
ures as were deemed likely to produce
the most revenue to the treasury. OF
staple agricultural products, including
meats and provisions, we are such
large exporters and must con nue.
to be and duties upon them
are useless for protection and
and fruitless for revenue. For pro-
ducers of our great export staples which
having fully supplied the home market
must overflow and seek larger pur-
chasers elsewhere, the only effect of a
protective tariff is to take away from
them one-fourth to one half the products
for which they could exchange the sur
plus in an open market.
Upon the larger sizes of plate glass
where duties were even higher we have
made reduction of about one-third.
On the iron and steel schedule begin
ming with free ore and duty of 81 y
per cent on pig iron we have reduced
the scale of duties considerably below
those OF the existing law, graduated
according to the degree OF manufacture.
The duty upon steel rails has been put
at 25 per cent. There seems to be an
authentic report that pool of Ameri.
can railmakers which, under the shelter
of the present duty, 1914 per ton, has
kept up the prices to Americans far be-
yond the cost of production and legit-
innate profits, has been re-organized to
continue the regulation of prices above
the proper market rates. As all ship
pers, especially American shippers, are
vitally interested in cheapening the
cost of transportation rates, the duty
upon steel rails should be adjusted SO
as to protect them from monopoly in
prices and com binations.
Upon tin plate the duty has been
gauged with reference to the revenue it
will bring into the treasury and the diff
ferenco between this duty and that
upon black plate has been lessened
with view to discourage what may not
unjustly be called bogus industry. of
making American tin plate by the mere
dipping in this country Of imported
black plates.
! To the farmers of the country We
have given untaxed agricultural i'm
plements and binding twine.
The majority report is signed by the
Democratic mem bers Of the committee.
The Republican members will submit a
minority report.

The Majority Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The majority
report of the ways and means COM
mittee on the tariff bill was submitted
to the house at the opening today. The
report says; The reduction of duties will

to change. In dealing with the tariff

standing abuse that has interviewer it.

and to inquire into the rights of the
house in the premises.
The resolution had no sooner been
read than dozen men on each side of
the house rushed toward the bar of the
house crying for recognition. Boutelle
in the meantime was wildly attempting
to offer his resolution of yesterday as a
substitute, but Cochran was recognized
to move to refer the resolution to the
committee on rules.
The confusion was so great that the
speaker appealed several times for
order and finally Breckenridge made a
point of order that under the rules the
resolution would 60 to the committee
on rules without motion. The speaker
held in accordance with the point of
order and referred the resolution.
Breckenridge then tried to move to 60
into committee OF the whole for con-
sideration of the urgent deficiency bill,
but Boutelle was at the front demand
ing recognition for privileged resolu-
ton and the speaker was obliged to
recognize him. When read it proved to
be the resolution Boutelle sought to
introduce last night declaring that the
prerogatives of congress had been in
vaded by the policy of the administra-
tion and declaring that the policy was
inconsistent with the spirit of the con-
stitution and the traditions of the gov
ernment.
The row was now fully under way.
McCreary, chairman of the foreign af.
fairs committee, made point that the
resolution was not privileged, and after
some sharp words from each side, Bou.
telle got the floor to discuss the ques.
tion as to whether the resolution was
privileged.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 19.-The debate
expected in the senate on the presi-
dents message was averted by Hoar,
whose motion to refer the message and
accompanying documents to the COM
mittee on foreign relations is pend
ing before the senate yielding to
to Berry and PETER. The first named
addressed the senate in advocacy of the
bill for the repeal of the federal laws
while PETER argued in favor of the bill
introduced by him yesterday appro-
priating money for immediate use in
relieving want and destitution through
out the country.
Hoar stated, however, that on to-
morrow he would call up his motion
to refer the presidents message and ac-
companying documents to the COM
mittee on foreign relations and in all
probability will address the senate at
that time upon the Hawaiian situation
generally.
During the transaction Of the morn
ing's business. Frye said: "About two
years ago a French cable company
made application to our secretary of
state, Mr.. Blaine, for permission to
land its cable from Brazil on the coast
of the United States. Our secretary OF
state investigated the matter and found
the company had by the authority of
a law OF Brazil q monopoly of the ma
ture that no other company while tha~t
power was in existence could be per-
mitted TO land its cable on the Brazil
ian coast. So our secretary of state re-
fused to grant permission. | am IN
formed, whether true or not | cannot
say, that the company has recently ap,
peared before the secretary of state and
that he has granted the company the
right which they asked. If it be true,
and there is no remedy to be had for it,
then the United States will be per-
petually kept from landing any cable
on the coast oil Brazil"
! In view of these facts he offered a
resolution making inquiries of the Sec
retary of state whether this was true.
Hunton objected to the present con-
over under the rules.
In speech in support of bis bill for
the relief of the unemployed, PETER
stated that the bill contemplated the
distribution of $63 100000 of idle
money, silver in the treasury uncovered
by certificates. The bill was referred
to the committee on education and
! labor.

Boutelle's Philippe.

"The message of the president. read
here yesterday" be said, indicates
the United States may be involved in a
war with friendly power. For all we
know" said he in loud voice, "the
arms of the United States may be even
now pinioning with their bayonets a
friendly nation with whom the mass OF
the people of this country sympathize.
1t is the imperative duty OF congress,
reluctantly recognized by the president.
to disavow, discredit and reprobate 8
policy designed to bring the country
into discredit in the eyes of the civil
lied world. [Great applause on Rep.
side | care not whence this policy
emanates, whether from Republican
president or Democratic usurper."
The confusion that followed the word
"usurper" drowned the rest of the SEN
tence. He continued to talk amid
loud cries for order and the speaker at
last, with the aid of the gavel, brought
+ the house to standstih. Before the
gentleman from Maine had fairly
launched his next philippe, Speaker
Crisp suddenly swept the ground from
under him by deciding the point of or
der in accordance with his contention
with McCreary and referred the reso-
luton directly to the committee on for
eign affairs.
Boutelle and Dingley then attempted
to argue the question relating to the
decision of the chair, but the speaker
was obdurate. Amid great excitement
he ordered the gentlemen to take their
seats, declaring be would hear no gen
tIemsn until he had formally dis
charged his duty by decision upon the
point at issue. The speaker then de-
livered his decision and referred the
resolution to the committee on foreign
affairs. Boutelle Immediately appealed
from the decision of the chair and Nc
Creary moved to lay the appeal on the
table. The motion prevailed by vote
of $50 to 80.
During the debate on the deficiency
bill Chairman Wilson of the ways and
means committee rose, the long looked
for tariff bill in hand and the COM
mittee rose informally to receive the
bill and report. There was no demon
stration of any kind. Wilson simply
reported from the ways and mesns COM
mittee, bill to reduce taxation to pro-
vide for revenue and for other pur-
poses.
