THE HOUSE.

No time was lost by the House in getting
to work on the Indian appropriation bill
today. and ten minutes after meeting the
House went into committee of the whole
on the Indian bill.
An amendment by Mr.. Pickler Is. d.. ap-
propriating 5000 for artesian wells at Pine
Ridge. Rosebud and Standing Rock agen-
cies, was agreed to.
Mr.. Cannon Qll) offered an amendment
providing that the farmers and stockmen
employed TO instruct the Indians should
be practical farmers and stock raisers. 1t
was agreed to by a vote of ca to IS
Mr.. Wilson (Nash.) made a short fill
buster, claiming that too much progress
was being made on paragraph in which
he was interested An amendment by MIR.
Holman to correct a clerical error, held up
the House for fifteen minutes.
An Attack on Nr. Holman.
The paragraph making provision for the
Indian schools brought down several amend
ments, of which Mr.. Holman offered two
TO the first paragraph. one increasing the
total appropria ton from s1.OOOOOO to ST.
IOI 600. the other making 81 800 immediat ely
available for the pay of the superintendent
OF the Indian schools and 81 900 for his
travelling expenses. A bitter personal at
tack was made on Mr.. Holman by Mr..
Johnson of Indiana, who, in the course of
had operated to have Mr.. Sayers appointed
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions over the head of older members of
the committee-Mr. Holman-and had re-
suited in the latter getting control Of but
one appropriation bill instead of all
He asserted that the habit of this small
and penuriOus man" (Mr. Holman) of jug
CLING" with the Indian appropriation bill
would soon result in the determination of
the Indian, which purpose. he believed was
o. the bottom of his assignment to the
Craftsmanship of the committee on Indian
affairs. He alleged that Mr.. Holman was
urged for this position by the enemies of
the Indians in the House. though he did not
assert that the Speaker was aware of these
Influences, for this would make him out
either knave or a fool.
During all this TRADE Mr. Holman sat
quietly in his seat. giving no indication of
having heard a word.
Judge Holman Defended.
When Mr.. Pendleton CIV. Va) arose to
reply to the attack. Mr.. Holman expressed
the hope that he would take no notice of
IL. This evoked loud and long continued
applause from the democratic side.
Nevertheless Mr.. Pendleton defended Mr.
Holman from the aspersions cast upon him.
even though, as ne declared. he was not in
sympathy with his economic views.
The discussion continued on the subject
for the reduction of salary of the superin-
tendent Of Indian schools.

Men who live by their labor cannot make a
successful contest against capital"
Continuing, Mr.. Teller stated that he
wanted IL understood that the republican
side was a unit for duty on wool.
de predicted that the removal of the duty
on wool would destroy the sheep-raising in
1ustry In this country. save to limited ex-
tent for mutton. The Lao. 600 sheep in his
state would disappear. The Senators of the
vest had appealed for a duty, a duty pro-
portionate TO the duty on cottons on wool
ems. on sugar. on coal, on iron. Their ap-
peals had fallen on deaf ears because some
Industry had to be sacrificed in order to
seem to make good the professions made by
the democratic party to the country.
Mr.. Hoar Indorscs the Anti-Free-
Wool Statements.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, as one of
the representatives of the greatest wooden
manufacturing states in the country in
dorsed the statements made that the New
England manufacturers did not desire free
wool 1t would be a base thing for them to
undertake to secure the advantage of free
raw material for themselves by the vote
bargain. or silence Of their representatives
IN Congress.
There was not an argument for protec-
ton that did not apply in full force to
wool There was. he said in conclusion
but one interest in the United States today
crying for free wool That was the inter-
est in the consistency of the democratic
party AHdt party gone 10 the country
with the free materials on its banner
and it wanted little of its motto left for
another campaign 1t was again the demo-
cratic wolf in sleeps clothing.
Mr. PIatt in the Same Line.
Mr.. Platt Comm followed with an argu-
ment along the line of that OF Mr.. Hoar.
denying like the Massachusetts Senator.
that the wooden manufacturers favored free
wool They believed in protection as an
entirety fer all alike.
:. Mr.. Platt thought prices might be too
cheap and pointed out that prices were no.
where so low as at a bankrupt sale. The
passage of this bill he thought would mean
the death knell of the wool growing in
dustry for twenty-five years.
Also Mr.. Higgins.
Mr. Higgins of Delaware followed in op-
position to free wool Mr.. Higgins did not
confine himself to the consideration of the
subject of wool duty. but considered the

Some Remarkable Statements as to Their
Treatment at Trenton.
They Assert They Would BE Better OF
Under Free Trade Than With
the Present Conditions.

A delegation of the skilled workers in the
Trenton pottery manufacturing establish
ments had hearing today before Senators
Smith, Jones OF Arkansas, Allison and 9TH
ers and made some remarkable statements
concerning their treatment by their employ
ers and the wage troubles they are having
at present. Their establishments have been
shut down for a long time on account of
wage troubles, and having failed to reach
any settlement, they came here to urge up
on the Senate that the duty put upon the
wares which they manufacture as "a pro-
lection to American labor be taken off. If
no method can be devised by which the
laborers shall get some part at least, of the
protection They represented that they
would be better off under free trade than
they now are. They stated that the manu-
facturers. their employers, got all the pro-
lection and did not allow the employees
any benefit from ii whatever and that the
factories were not shut down for want of
orders but merely for the purpose of starv-
ing the workmen into submission.
AT the time the factories were shut down,
they said. there were more orders than
tlons have been made by the manufacture
ers, in order to keep up their business.
4 Cut of % Per Cent.
They said there was made a cut of 25 per
cent in wages under the existing law which
would, If they had continued at work. put
their wages from to 10 per cent below
the wages paid in England for the same
class of work; and that in addition to that
u per cent was to be withheld to meet the
contingency of reduction Of duty by the
bill under discussion in the Senate. If the
contemplated reduction of duty was made.
they say, the contingent Il per cent re-
serve would be held by the manufacturers
and the employees are told that this could
be saved to them only by the retention of
the present tariff rates. but that Il a rate
of per cent higher can be got in the bill.
only D. instead of -. per cent additional of
their wages would be taken off.
They say that without this Is per cent
conditional reduction they are getting, or
would be getting if they We're at work,
lower wages than are paid abroad and that,
therefore, the claim of protection to make
up the difference of the rate of wages here
and abroad is a fraud. They want some
it. .
Statements to Reductions.
They stated that if they We're to go to
work under the schedule of wages proposed
by the manufacturers they could not make
enough to live on. They presented figures
to show what the reduction which they
would have to submit to if they went to
work would be. In certain cases where
wages amount to s124O per week the re-
duction would bring it to s.. Wages of
sl2.11 in certain lines would be reduced to
50 10 per week. and in the manufacture of
toilet articles, where helpers have to be
employed, the weekly wages of $3.50 would
they stated, be wiped out altogether. and
at the end of weeks work the workman
would be in debt 81 80 to the firm.

The Deadly Pump.

The Deadly Pump.
Or. Magruder, member of the committee
from the Medical Society, then addressed
the committee. He displayed upon the walls
number of maps of the city and proceeded
to give the committee an object lesson in
the location of cases of typhoid fever and
the relation of them to the pumps se,ve-a 20
1acllltles and open privieS. He said he
thought some cases of diarrhoea should be
put down as typhoid.
For this and other reasons the death rate
IN Washington should be higher figure
than is sometimes given. DR. Magrudar
read the tables recently published i'm The
Star upon this subject. BY means of his
maps ana diagrams he would show the COM
mittee section of the city where A certain
number of deaths from typhoid fever, ma
larial fever and diarrhoeal diseases had oc-
Cured, and then on another map would
demonstrate that in that district there
were certain number of pumps from
which the Inhabitants drank and a certain
rUmber of open privieS which contaminated
the pumps, thus tracing a direct connec-
ton. In the high northwest portion of the
city, for instance, where there are only nine
pumps, there were only nine deaths from
typhoid fever, while in other sections with
less population there were hundreds of
deaths. He said there are POI pumps in
the city. Referring to the southwest por-
ton of the city, where there exist the larg-
est number of open privies, the death rate
was very large. He was questioned why
these open privies were not connected with
the sewers, and said it was because the
law was not enforced. DIR. Busey interrupt
ed him to say that the sewerage in this
portion of the city is defective, the land Is
not drained and sewage matter simply
flows in and out with the tide

this fact, that the James Creek canal sewer

Representatives Davis and Tsubeneok
Make Some Estimates.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Representa-
tiyes DAVIS of Kansas and Taubeneek
of Illinois have been making q careful
estimate of the different bands OF Cox
eyites on the way to Washington. and
they claim that there are 5000 men
tramping or riding on boats or bor-
rowed trains towards the capital. Mr..
Davis does not believe in the wisdom or
efficacy of the Coxey movement, and
has written magazine article in which
he points out that the movement Is . re-
suit of currency contraction and sum-
marizes it as ''organized want" II
the government should yield to Coxey's
demands, other armies would march on
the capital with other demands, and
the result would be government by the
multitude. The remedy for the present
state of business he finds in the ballot,
which he defines as recorded opin-
ion"
mo Coxeyites have come from Kan
sas, ;" he said in a conversation on the
subject, "because Kansas has expressed
| herself properly by her elections, and
Nebraska, which is largely Populist
state, has contributed not more than 20
men to the movement"
BY imprisoning the commonwsal
leaders, he says, the authorities have
made swan out of goose. The chief
danger from the movement, he thinks,
will develop next fall when thu
weather becomes too cold for men u
camp out doors. Then he looks fol
