Anarchists
AND TO PREVENT THEIR LANDING
in THIS COUNTRY.

The Question of Investigating the Domi-
nion Coal Company of Nova Scotia
Discussed in the Senate-The Investiga-
ton Denounced as Farce and a
miliation-Yesterday's Doings in
Congress.
Washington, August Elm the Senate
today, Mr.. Mills, Democrat, offered a
resolution declaring that in the revision
of the national taxation these three
principles should be observed: All
taxes are burdens that monty be right
fully imposed to raise revenue for the
support Of the government When taxes
are imposed on goods imported, the
rates should be SO low as not materially
to restrict the Importation of the ar
ticle; i'll selecting articles to be taxed,
only those ready for consumption should
be chosen, and all others imported for
the manufacture or re-manufacture be
exempt from duty.
The resolution. was at Mr.. Mills's re-
quest, laid on the table temporarily, and
conference was order ed Oh the defieien-
cy appropriation bill.
Mr.. Chandler's resolution for an inqui-
ry into facts connected with the organ
ization and history of the Dominion Coal
Company OF Nova Scotia, was taken up.
Mr.. Mills moved an amendment instruct
ing special committee to inquire
whether an officer of the government or
mem ber Of Congress is, OF was interest,"
ed inthe corporation or. company engaged
in mining coal in any states or terrIto-
ries. OF the United States, or any rail-
road company engaged in transporting
coal that would come into competition
with Nova Scotia or Dominion coal in
any of the markets, of the United States,
and whether influence was used to main
tain tariff tax on coal for their benefit.
Also as to whether the removal of du-
ty on coal would reduce the price to. the
consumer of coal in any part of the
United States. IT so, what parts of the
UnitediS States would .betso benefited.
An amendment was appended to Mr..
Chandler's resolution treated as a sub
stitute, for it was modified to have the
inquiry made by now select commit
tea of five instead of by the Gray select
committee.
Mr.. White, Democrat, of California,
thought the proposed investigation would
be useless waste. of time and money.
Mr.. Dolph, Republican, characterized
every Investigation as y farce swhen the
witnesses were allowed to refuse to an
swer pertinent questions.
Mr.. Faulkner, Democrat, said he felt
under ALLEGATION to vote for the .substi-
tute because it referred to some improp-
er influence supposed tak be exercised
by senators in favor of a. duty on coal.

Kicks, judge of the United States court

Mr.. Palmer regarded the whole matter
as Illuminating. Not fact was put for
ward by the senator from New Hamp-
shire on his responsibility as senator;
nothing but the statement of scandals
circulated in the newspapers.
Mr.. Allison favored the resolution
offered by Mr.. Chandler. and referred to
the substitute as having been offered for
the purpose of killing it off.
The resolution went ove- without ac-
tlon, and remains on the. calendar.
The House bill providing for the in
spection of immigrants by the United
States was taken up with substitute
reported by Mr.. Hill, Democrat, of New
York, from the committee on immigra-
ton, providing for the exclusion and de-
portatlon of anarchists. Mr.. Hill advo-
Gated the substitute He said there
was no authority under existing laws to
prevent the landing kof anarchists. If
anarchists are not excluded, the United
States will soon become dumping
ground for the anarchistssof the world.
1t was not proposed in the bill to make
the belief in anarchy crime. No provls-
ion was made for Indictment or punish
ment. but provisions are made that
person known as an anarchist should
not land i'll this country. II he did land
certain proceedings would be taken
through the Secretary of the Treasury.
and that person should be deported. :.
Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, favored
both the House bill and the substitute.
1t seemed tic him the provisions OF the
bill on the subject on immigration
were inadequate. He suggested that the
su bstitute be adopted as an amendment
in addition to the House bill.
MIR. PETER moved poll tax on immi
grants be increased to SION Rejected. u
Mr.. Kyle asked Mr.. Hill for definition
of anarchists and was told that an an
archist was one opposed to all forms of
civil government and social order. Mr..
Kyle said there weres.anarchists /. in Bos-
ton today who were professors. who
held to the doctrine that men could ar
rive at such high state of perfection as
tosdipense with law and government.
He was challenged by Mr.. Hoar to give
the name of one of those professors.
Finally the substitute was agreed to
with amendments, and the bill passed,
and a conference was asked.

Andover. August 6.-This quiet village
was suddenly thrown into great excitement
this afternoon, when it was learned that
Sheriff Wormell.came near being killed, and
that L. g. Small was shot through his body.
Small has kept butcher shop here for some
time on the main street at the northerly
part of the village, and the party who
owned the building has been trying for
some time to get him out. One week ago he
took legal action, and Wormell came here
today and Small agreed to attend the hear
ing at Bethel Hill this afternoon. After
wards he changed his mind. and said he was
not coming out and NO officer was able to
take him. He theRiretreated into his build
ing and fastened all the aaoors and defied
the officers. Worlnell was not the man to be
disappointed. He has seen too much service
in different parts of the state to be baf1ed
by one man. A few moments of consulta-
tion followed, and in the meantime Small

into the building and was met by Small on

and snapped it, but the cartridge did not
explode. Failing in this he seized cIeayer.
such as hutches use, and hurled that. and
an axe which he had near BY. Wormell very
quickly fired at Small, the ball entering his
body two inches below his heart, passing
through his body and coming out at the
right and about three inches above where it
struck on the other side. He refused to
allow any one to come up to assist him for
nearly half an hour. When the doctor
arrived they found it an ugly wound, with
no chance for his recovery.
Small has not been considered in his right
mind at times. andswas easily excited. and
of an ugly disposirlon, maay counted him
crazy. No blame Ss tattashed to wormell,
AMI all admit rhatbhe'oaght to have fired

found a new plate of $40 gold certificates
