Others Out.
RIOT AND BL00DSHED MAY FOLLOW,
The Governor Asked for Troops
to Prevent the Expected
- Encounter.

ToLUCA, Ills., April 27.-The little
mining village of Toluca, situated on o
vast prairie in Marshall county, is in
tensely excited. An army OF nearly
5000 coal miners from Spring Valley,
Ludd, Laceyville, Lentonville, La Sale,
Peru and Oglesby have just gone into
camp on what is kno own as the Big
Sandy, four and half miles north of
this place. The Spring Valley, Luad
and Lentonville men left Spring Valley
at 4 o'clock Thursday, $500 strong.
They were met at Mount Palatine by
miners from La Sale and vicinity.
The army took Mount Palatin by storm
and went into camp. They were ac-
companied <.
BY Seven Brass Bands,
fife and drum corps and seven COM
m1ssary wagons, the contributions of
the business men of Spring Valley and
vicinity. Food was tributed to the
army at this place and a riot almost en-
sued among the men. Throngs climb bed
upon the wagons, and those who had
charge of the distribution had great
difficulty in managing the hungry min
ers. The army is commanded by Fred-
erick K. Knowles. At Mount Palatin
an attempt was made by the leaders to
hold mass meeting, but the men were
SO anxious to march on to Toluca that
the leaders failed to get their attention.
At IL o'clock Commander Knowles or
dered halt for the night at the Big
Sandy and the men are now in camp.
The order for march will be given at
o'clock in the morning.
The Programme of the Army
when they arrive at Toluca at q o'clock
Is to call mass meeting Immediately
and try to use moral suasion upon the
Toluca miners to quit work and help
the cause. Many Of the .marchers are
old men, and there are some women
among them. Besides the commissary
wagon there are nearly 100 teams, con
tanning people who are making the triE
through curiosity, making the process,
sion nearly three miles in length. TnerQ
are some that are very hot-headed, bu}
it is believed tha at Tie leaders can 1yA::47 s:47
them in check. Commander Knowles,
immediately upon the arrival OF his
men, will interview Mayor Fswist and
attempt to get him to issue an order
closing the saloons, as it is feared if:
some Of the men get much liquor into
them serious damage will result. At.
Toluca the situation is regarded as
serious. +

BILL AGREEI g. 9.
Democratic Senators Fix Up
Tariff Measure That Is Ger
tain to Pass. -t'N7'~4
OBJECTIONABLE ITEMS CHANGED
The Sugar Schedule Made Ad
ValOrem and the Income
Tax Limited.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The princi-
pal changes to be made in the tariff bill,
In accordance with the agreement made
by the Democratic senators, are in the
income tax and the sugar schedule. The
sugar men have been from the first
clamorous for an ad valorem instead of
specific duty, and that change has
been conceded. The details have not
been absolutely fixed, but there is little
doubt that the sugar schedule will be
entirely supplanted by new one which
will provide uniform duty of 40 per
cent ad valorem with an addition of
one-eighth Of cent for refined sugar.
The principal change in the income tax
is a provision for the
Limitation Of the Time
that the law shall remain in operation.
This is another matter of detail which
has not been absolutely agreed upon,
but the principle having been conceded
the senators who have the compromise
in hand do not consider that there is
any possibility of failure on account of
the period. It will probably be about
y
change in the rate OF taxation, which
will be left at per cent on amounts in
excess of $4,000.
A number of changes in the rate Of
duty will be made in the iron schedule,
in which there will be slight advance
over the rates fixed by the pending bill.
Carpets also will secure an advance. In
many cases the rates fixed in the house
bill will replace those of the bill re-
ported to the senate by the finance COM
mittee.
Another Material Co.cession
which will be made to the disatfected
senators will be the restoration OF tho
specific system in many places where
the finance committee changed the
house bill by the substitution of ad
valorem duty. There will be no change
in the rates fixed on iron ore. lead or
coal, and wool will remain on the free
list. The whisky tax, as reported by
the finance committee, will be undi:-
turbed
1t is understood that the entire Demo.
cratic majority Of the finance commit
tee is in hearty accord upon the wisdom
of the proposed changes. Senator
Jones OF Arkansas has taken the initi-
atlve, and performed the greater part of
the great work of effecting< the compro-
mise by getting the disaffected senator's
to state what they wanted and bringing
them together, and also by securing the
assent and cooperation of the president
and Secretary Carlisle.
