coRBETT FIRES ON MARAUDER.
The Southern Associated Press cor
respondent has advices from Mayport
that about 10 O'Clock last night. some un-
known person attempted to enter the
room occupied by Corbett. The cham
pion was aroused from slumber by a
noise at the window, and springing from
bed, found that some person had broken
open the blinds and was attempting to
raise the window sash. Corbett seized
his pistol and rushed to the door when
he saw the person in the act of leap
ing over fence about ten yards from the
house. Corbett fired at the fleeing man
three times, but does not think either of
the shots took effect. The sound of the
shots alarmed the household, and soon
Mrs. Corbett, Miss Howard, Bill Delaney
and the others were gathered about the
champion. There was no more sleep at the
training quarters that night, for
it was the belief that the person
who was trying to enter Corbetts room,
intended to do him some injury so as to
prevent him being ready TO meet Mitchell
on Jan. 25, should the fight occur. Here
after Corbett's trainers will take turns in
watching the champion while he sleeps.

Lcafherlike Velvet.

Anew process has recently been patent
ed in France for the production of lcath-
er which both to the touch and eye has q
striking resemblance to velvet. Lcathers
of this description hitherto manufactured
have been obtained by treatment of the
flesh side of the hide, or skin. The flesh
side of the skin being always coarse, pat
entees claim now to secure better results
by treating the hair side, says The Shoe
and Leather Gazette. They scratch or rub
the hair side with a rubber Of strong GRO
sivc qualities or with emery or glass, when
working small surfaces, and use grind
stone for heavier work. In this manner q
downy nap is brought out, which they
throw and lay in different directions there
by bringing out varied designs of chang
ing hue and appearance. The velvcty sur
face produced is said to be similar to the
down of a peach skin. The fiber is very
fine, soft to the touch and has all the ap-
pearance of silk velvet shorn very close.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
The Democrats Unable to Settle on
a Wood Schedule.
Half Of Their crowd wants One Ihing and
Malt knolher.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE pendiug
tariff bill has passed . number of critical
periods, but, if the judgment Of q Demo
crat high in the councils of HE party, can
be relied upon, it has now reached point
where its final passage is jeopardized more
than any time IN the past. The trouble
grows out of the new substitute in the wool
schedule. In the Jones amendment the d.
viding line in woolens ard children's dress
ing goods, yarn, etc., is placed at 81 per
pound, and all goods valued at that price
are made dutiable at so per cent.
Wooden manufacturers, headed by such
men as Walter Stanton, q well-known
Democrat, told the committee, and backed
up their assertions by exhibiting their
books, that it would be impossible for them
to run their mills under such rate. After
thoroughly discussing the question, the sub
committee decided to make q new schedule,
which it did, fixing a so per cent. duty on
all goods valued at more than go cents a
pound, which schedule it was claimed
would admit goods consumed by the poorer
classes at 40 per cent. duty.
This action of the committee called fortl
q storm of opposition from the senators,
especially from the South, and it is said
that number sufficient to imperil the sue
cess of the bill have informed the commit
tee that if the schedule should be adopted
they will vote against the bill on it's final
passage. Two of the most vehement re-
monstrators, this morning, told the COM
mittee that they would support the bill if a
change is made, but under protest. The
committee appears to be between two fires.
The manufacturers who represent some
of the best elements of the Democratic
party in New England and New York say
the Jones amendment means utter ruin to
them and the utter destruction of their
property. 1t is said that such senators as
Smith and Murphy, who voice the views of
these gentlemen on the floor, have told the
committee that they would not support the
bill unless the Stanton-Bramhall- Owens
proposition was agreed to.
