g'asN schedule; % per cent on
chemicals, when the house bill re-
duced the duty only 90 per cent.
If senators and opponents Of the
democratic party would take the
trouble before they cri,icisc it fur
thcr to turn to the comparison of
the tariff and administrative acts Of
1890 and tlu house bill 1864, being
report No. $50, in the Fifty-Third
congress if they will turn to the
comparative statement from the
treasury department, they will find
this summary:
Under the present law the per
cent is 1865; under the house bill
$3.50; under the senate bill, ss.Gs.
In other words, between the Nc
Kinley act and the House bill there
was difference of IA per cent.
Between the Mckinley act and
the Senate bill there is a difference
of over 1 per cent, being differ
entail between the house and the
senate bill Of 3 per cent, and we
have sugar included in ours, while
the house bill came to US with duty
on raw sugar and refined sugar
free and under the Mckinley act
sugar was free, with q bounty Of two
cents pound.
So, it appears that all this scandal
Il i this Incorporation, all this critic
ism, is upon . difference of 9 per
cent between the two bills, when we
have made the immense step il adj
vance Oh the path Of tariff, reform
Of putting wool upon the free list,
and have reduced the duty of
WOODEN goods so PEI cent; when we
have put lumber on the free list;
salt upon the free list, and have re
duced the duties upon zine, and still
we are told that in framing the
senate bill we have been guilty of
perfdy to democratic principles and
dlshonor to democratic policies.

Framing Of the Tariff Bill" Sena-
tor Vest, OF liissouri, give; out a
few facts and fgares with regard to
reductions under the new law, ia
comparison with the MCKINLEY bill,
that will prove OF interest to all in
terested in. tariff reform, and set at
rest the garblea statement that have
appeared i'll the republican press.
Referring to'the comparison be-
tween the Mckinley bill and the
senate bill, Senator Vest said:
A!r. President, what are the
salient points in the senate bill
which has been SO much deridel
and abused? What has the demo
cratic party Of the country given to
the American people in the shape OF
tariff reform as compayal with the
Mckinley act?

fore the people, and made Gal:bey-

The Park River Gazette Witness,
as we'll as dozens OF the republican
organs, have gone howling mad
over Che endorsement of the popu-
list candidate for treasurer by the
democrats, and intimates that Messrs
Leistikow, Of Grafton, and Baker,
OF Bismarck, have sold the demo-
Gratis outIof the sake of the state
funds. 7, ell, Leistikow's bank had
$4,000 out of sl37,o 900 on deposit,
and Bakers bank had $4,000.
Did mt the other 100000 have any
thing to say about it? Poor re-
publicans! They ARE mad clear
through because their banks can't
have the money. Some one must
have the funds. There are no popu-
list banks-populists are not usually
in the banking business. The
democrats helped elect the populist
ticket, and Mr.. Nomland gave the
funds to democratic banks. The
republican organs aro giving their
case away by Aos..ng SO much

THE ARMENIAN AFFAIR.
The Legation at Washington Receives
an Explanation.


Washington, Dec. 5.-The Turkish le-
CATION has received the following COM
munfcation as regards the Armenian
troubles:
Towards 1.-THE end of July last, and
under the instigation Of an Armenian
named IEamparteoun the men of ten
Armenian villages near Moosh. formed
in separate bands and armed with guns,
daggers, hatchets and other instru-
ments, attacked the tribe of DelilSan.
They killed a few men of that tribe,
and afterwards fell on the tribes Of
Beliran and Radilcan. These bands
burned alive Hadji, nephew Of Eumer
Agha, one of the chiefs of the BelSiran
tribe, and not only outraged the Mus
selmen women of the village OF Kulli-
guzat, but also put them to death In
an atrocious manner. Thanks, how
ever, to the measures taken by the
lawful authorities, the bands in ques-
ton were dispersed and the insurgent
chief, Hamparteoun. as we'll as the
priest, Migihlrdltch, and other guilty
persons, were arrested and brought be-
fore the justices. The statement often
published in some European papers,
THAT some OF the regular troops fired
on the defenseless and women. Is ut
terly untrue No individual carrying
no arms was killed.

LINED WITH DYNAMITE.
An Insane Man Hurls Dynamite Cart
ridge at His Wife.

ColfaX, Wn., Dec. 5.-Intense excite
ment prevailed in Judge Sullivan's
court room this afternoon during the
examination of man named Henager
for insanity. While Attorney Mark
Fullerton was quitting the witness
stand, after testifying to Henagers
strange actions and threats last night,
Mrs. Henager walked into the court
from the prosecuting attorneys office.
Catching sight of her, Henager sprang
from the grasp Of the officers guarding
him, and with a horrible epithet, hurl-
ed a dynamite cap at his wife. 1t
struck the coat of an attorney, and
glanced 10 the clerks desk, falling to
the carpet. Henager was bound down
ard dragged into as ide room and
searched. Five small dynamite cart
ridges were found on him. The case
went on until Mrs. Henager took the
stand, when the crazy man flshed still
another cartridge from his sleeve, but
was relieved of 1t promptly. Finally he
made an attempt to pull off his vest,
and examination showed cartridge
in his vest strap at the back. Henager
was then taken to acell and stripped
and re-clothed. He was committed to
the Medical Lake asylum.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Germany has
taken the initiative step toward curtail-
ing the importing Of another American
product in a proposition now before the
Bundesrath, to enormously increase the
duty on cotton seed oil. The PROPOSE
ton is to increase the present duty,
which is 81, to $3.50, which is equivalent
to a duty og $50 per cent. The subject
Is treated at length in a report to the
state department by United States Con-
sui Merritt ait Bremen.
The consul marks the progress Of
this traffic war in the following sgni-
ficant paragraph:
II had hoped to be able to report
that there was a sincere desire on the
part of the German people to join the
people of THE United States in a mutual
effort for the extension of commerce
of both countries, but the foregoing,
together with the recent edicts agains,
American beef, would indicate to q
certain extent a different attitude in
this country towards the enlargement
Of rates of American products"

RAILROAD RATES RAISED.

Chicagi, Dec. 5.--The transcontinental
lines decided today that effective March
1 round trip rates to the Pacific coast
would be advanced $40. except in the
case Of the Shasta route, where the ad-
vance will be only $3.50. Colorado and
Utah rates from the Missouri river will
be restored to the old basis Of $1S.75,
the present rate being $1O.75 This ac-
tion is not, the roads claim. an eleva-
tion of the rate, but the restoration OF
the tariff which was in effect before the
present Decentralization began. The ia
clliay with which uhe transcontinentai
lines got together today practically re-
moves all obstacles in the path Of the
formation OF general association.

uounced his conversion. PETER made
the first formal speech Of the session,
critidizing, from a Populist point, the

views on finance. At the close of PEI
fer's speech, the resolution was adopt
ed without division. 1t asks the judi
ciary committee to inquire into the
action of the secretary of the treasury
In issuing bonds. Another resolution
by PETER for information from the pres
ident as to the use of United STAKES

on the question as to its reference to
