IT WILL BE A SUGAR FIGHT.
MIR. HARRIS WILL PUsH SUPPLE
 MENTAL BILLS FOR ACTION.

Leading Democrats. Aided and Abcttod by
 Republicans, Win Use Every Effort to
 Prevent the Sugar Schedule Being
 Amended-thangs Would be Unwise.
 Washington, Nov. 1S.-When the sem ate reconvenes, unless the program mapped out by certain senators should be rearranged. there will probably be a renewal of the clash on the tariff question. Senator Harris states that he intends to push the supplemental tariff bills for action as soon as possi- ble after congress convenes. The bills relating to free iron ore, coal and barb ed wire came back from the finance committee practically as they went there, but the bill placing sugar on the free list was pigeon-holed and sub stitute was reported placing uniform duty of 40 per cent on all sugars, there by doing away with the differential one-eighth duty that operates to the advantage of the refiner and the dis eliminating one-tenth duty that oper- ates against the German exporter.
 Democratic senators not among those classed as conservatives express doubts as to the desira bility of attempting to pass any of the tariff bills now on the senate calendar at the next session. One of these says there are leading men in his party who, aided and abet- ted by republicans, will use every ef- fort to prevent the sugar schedule be- ing amended, and that to attempt 1t would result in the consumption of time that would be needed in the con- sideration of measures upon which po- litical lines would not be drawn and upon which the country is demanding action. To make sugar free, in view of the letter of Secretary Carlisle, and in view of the small receipts under the law so far, this senator insists, would be utterly impossible, and to seek to change the sugar schedule in any way, he thinks, would be unwise, as 1t would open anew the tariff debate.

 This City.
 The green goods men, or dealers In counterfeit money. are again flooding the city with circular letters, addressed and sent by mall to men of more or less prominence throughout the city, informing such persons how they can become enormously wealthy at very slight outlay. During the past week any quantity of such letters have been received by men in this city, and a number of them turned over to the po- lice. A number of prominent business men have also received these communi- cations, among the latter being a we'll known business man who resides in the Tenth ward, who immediately upon its receipt turned 1t over to the police au- thorities.
 The writer says with an experience of eight years as an employe of Uncle Sam in the bureau of engraving and printing in the treasury department, flatter myself that know something about money, and claim for my goods that they are as fine as human skill can make them. If my goods are not all that claim them to be, after you have come her and seen them, will hand you your expenses and compensate you for your loss of time, and we will part friends whether we deal or not.
 Tha nf ha loff les than told that under no circumstances to send letter but to conduct all commu- nications by wire, and if possible to send all telegrams by Western Union lines. Then follows the prices: $5.000 worth of green goods" being offered for s450; $10.O0O for $700; $20.000 for $1 1,2OO, and $40, 900 for 5000. The lowest amount mentioned Is, so the letter claims, the smallest amount that the sender will sell under any circumstances, as he doesn't care about doing a retail busi- ness, and wishes to keep out ire sponsible parties.
 The letter is signed From one who has 'em." Enclosed in slip giving name and address, together with telegraph cipher to be used in communicating with the sender of the letter. In the several letters received here the names and addresses are different, some being located in New York city, others in Jer- sey city, and still others in Brooklyn. The local police are of the opinion that the circular letters all emanate from one general headquarters, and that the several addresses are given in order to throw people off the scent in the event of the letters falling into the hands of the authorities. It Is estimated that at least one hundred such letters have been received in this city during the past week.

 London. Nov. 1S.-The Daily News correspondent in constantinople says Sir Philip Currie sent Consul Harwood's report of the massacre of Armenians in the Assouan district to the porte in order to indicate the serious nature of the events.

MAYHEc CHARGED WITH MURDER.

 It Is Believed Holmes Murdered B. F.
 " Pitzell.
 Philadelphia, Nov. 18.-H. H. Holmes, alias H. H. Howard, the man arrested in Boston charged with swindling the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance com pany of this city out of $10.0Oo by palm ing off bogus corpse as the body Of B. F. Pitzell, will be brought here to- morrow and arraigned on the charge. He may also be charged with murder.
 When the body of the supposed Pitze1l was found in, the room September 3 last it was stretched on the floor and was perfectly rigid. The coroners physician claims that the body could not have been brought here in a trunk from another city, as stated by Holmes, be- cause 1t was stiff, and body once bent does not again become rigid. Furthermore it showed no marks of where it had been doubled up in the trunk.
 The theory Is advanced Is that the body Is really that of Pitzel. It is argued that Pitzer and the other con .spirators plotted to disigure the form by burning the face with some chemical and calling in a physician to prescribe for his injuries. A body was then to be procured and disfigured as was Pitxell. It is supposed that Pitzell had his fel- low conspirators administer chloroform so he would not feel the pain of the burns when they were inflicted;and that he was either given an overdose and died from the effects or was purposely killed while unconscious by his treach- erous friends. lSs s
 Another theory is that . man resemb- ling PitzeH was decoyed to- | room, chIoroformed and killed and his face disfigured 50 as to render identification more difficult. Another suspicious ear- cumstance. as viewed by the Electives. is chat Mrs. Pitzell about a month ago visited her parents Tn Iliinoi5, but said noting about the deal th of her RnebAnd.
