The way for AIillionaries to Avoid Suits
for Damages.

New York, March 27.-When the re-
trial of the suit of William r. Laidlaw,
Jr., against Russell Sage for $50. 200
damages because of injuries sustained at
the time bomb was exploded in the
Office of Mr.. Sage, was begun before
Justice Patterson in part two of the Su-
preme court this morning there was an
eminent array of legal talent on hand.
+. For Laidlaw there were ex-Justice
Noah Davis, Joseph Fl. Choate and q
couple more, while ex-Judge John F.
Dillon, Col. E. G. James and Mr.. Taggert
were there to see that the interests of
Mr.. Sage did not suffer.
Mr. Davis made the opening address
for Laidlaw He told how Laidlaw, as
a clerk for John FL. Bloodgood, had been
calling at the Office of Russell Sage for
twelve or fourteen months. and said he
Thought it strange that Mr.. Sage should
saw he never knew Laidlaw.
MIR. Davis told how Norcross had
visited the office of Mr.. Sage and de-
manded 81, 200, 900, stating that he had
ten pounds of dynamite in the carpet
bag he carried; that he would drop it
and blow the building and everybody In
it into eternity unless it was given him.
Mr. Sage, the speaker said, should have
humored the lunatic by giving him the
checks. The lunatic would, the speaker
said, have left the office in a happy
frame of mind and no one in the build
ing would have been exposed to danger.
The bank would never have cashed the
checks.

DYING WOMAN'S STORY.
Brought Into Court On Cot to Testify in
a Murder Trial.

Fresno. CAL, March 27.-In the second
trial of Richard S. Heath, charged with
the murder of Louis B. McWhirter, a
prominent Democratic politician of this
city, Mrs. Cora Palmer, who is dying of
consumption, was brought into court on
cot. In a voice scarcely above a
whisper she told how, on the morning of
the murder, she was driving her hus-
band to the station when she almost
collided, near McWhirter's residence,
with buggy.
One of the occupants of the vehicle
was Pool B. Terry, young lawyer, son
of ex-Judge David Terry, whose name
has been freely mentioned n connection
with the case.
They threw some burning rags into
the grass, setting it on fire. Mrs. Palmer
jumped out to extjDguish the flames,
but her horse starting, she picked up the
rags and, placing them in her buggy,
stamped out the fire.
On arriving home the rags were found
to be mask and handkerchief bearing
the name R Sheath.
These the witness exhibited in court,
and at the sight of them Heath embled
violently and almost tainted. Mrs.
Palmer's testimony was not weakened
on cross-examination.

CANADA's TARIFF.
The Government Makes Slight Changes
and Praises Protection.

Ottawa, Ont, March 27.-Minister OF
Finance Foster commenced the delivery
of the budget in the Dominion House of
Commons today. He said that Canada
almost alone showed last year a largely
increased trade both on exports and i'm
ports, and treasury surplus OF
million and quarter of dollars. The
Speaker said the anticipated revenue
this fiscal year was about thirty-seven
million dollars, or million and half
less than last year. The national expen-
diture was decreasing and there would
be no deficit. The trade of Canada con-
tinued to increase during the current
year, aud deposits in the savings banks
had increased by over two million dol
lars since 1892. He defended the tariff
as it has existed since 1888, quoting from
figures to show that the average customs
rate of imported dutiable goods never
exceeded % 5-4 per cent, whereas in other
countries it had been far higher, having
been As per cent in the United States,
where the duties were far lower than In
some European countries. Mr.. Foster
showed that the country had developed
marvelously in every respect, and this
was largely due to the beneficial effects
of the protective tariff. The savings OF
the people alone as shown by the bank
returns had increasds from $S7, 900, 900 in
1878 to $242, 900, 900 this year. The gov
ernment, Mr.. Foster said, conceded in
the previous session of Parliament that
the changing circumstances OF the
country required thorough revision OF
the tariff. The government would stand
still fairly and squarely. upon the princi-

pie of protection. The degree of protec-
tion they proposed to regulate by the
probable benefit to Canada. In the three
years, 1S77-79, the average Importation
of agricultural products into Canada,
chiefly from the United States, was sl3,-
s67, SAL, whereas in the three years, 1880
90, the average was only $3, e55, S34. The
Speaker announced the proposed tariff
changes, which in part are as follows:
Upon agricultural products little change
is made. Animals, living, formerly 30
per cent will be 90 per cent, except hogs;
Live hogs, instead of 2 cents pound
will be 25 per cent; fresh mutton 2 cents
per pound, instead of 8 cents; lard ad
valorem duty rs per cent instead of 3
cents pound; condensed milk and all
similar goods, 80 per cent ad valorem.
Corn and barley remain the same except
that they come in free from any country
which admits Canada corn and barley
free The same regulation applies to
garden vegetables. Butter and cheese
and patent medicines remain unchanged.

ST. Johns, N. F., March 27.-Hon.
Henry Woods. surveyor general, and his
colleague, George Moores, who represents
the district Of Bay Deverds in the New
foundland legislature, were unseated to-
day for corrupt practices during the late
election. They were also disqualified
from sitting in the assembly for four
years. The decision renders the dissolu-
tion of Parliament inevitable, as the
above case is but one of a series on trial
involving nearly the whole Whiteway
government. The latter won the election
in November last by electing twenty
four candidates. Twelve mem bers of the
opposition lodged petitions against the
return of seventeen of the twenty-four
members alleging that the election was
due to bribery and illegal practices Ac-
cording to the English law, the case was
tried before a judge of the Supreme
court The decision in the Woods-M CORES
case was handed down this forenoon by
Justice Winter, who found both the
accused guilty of corrupt practices by
themselves and their agents, and de-
clared their election void, which unseats
and disqualifiies them. The court
awarded the costs of the case to the
petitioners. tits announced that steps
will be taken to prosecute the agents for
49,, ivn hn f1t Y,ro nt
and also against several witnesses for
perjury. The ground on which con-
viction was secured against Woods and
Moores was the expenditure of $4,000 in
the Bay Deverds district shortly before
election, which money was obtained
illegally for the employment of several
hundred men on.various public works a
few days before the day set for the poll
ing Of the vote. The money was used in
employing a number of men on public
works in this city, hiring trains to
deport them to their homes to vote and
bringing them back, thus constituting
an illegal use of legislative grants in-
tended for other purposes. Woods has
been known lately as the local McKane,
owing to his being leading member OF
the Methodist church and Sunday
school superintendent. Judge Winter,
in the course of the decision severely
condemned the government for the
illegal expenditures of public funds. The
disqualification of the remaining fifteen
mem bers is petitioned for. They include
every member of the executive council
and the government leaders of all the
districts. 1t is expecyed the government
will dissolve Immediately AS, If they
wait for conclusion of the other cases
before doing so, wholesale conviction
is looked upon as certain. This is the
first time a case of this kind has been
tried here and the severity of the sem
tence appals the government. There, is
no knowledge that a government has
ever been confronted with such con-
dition of things before in any British
colony.

THE BOSS PAID THE BILLS.
McKane's Lawyer Figures Out That
Gravesend Owes Money to the ex-Czar.

Brooklyn, N. Y, March 27.-An item
lied report of John Y. McKane's trans
actions as treasurer of the police COM
missioners and treasurer of the town
of Gravesend was today presented to the
board of auditors by George McKane
and Attorney Roderick. In 1893. accord
ing to the report, McKane, as treasurer
of the police board, expended for police
services $4,000. He received from the
county treasurer $I7,955. leaving bal
ance in his favor of $12,O45. AS super
visor, McKane received from various
sources $644,504. The total amount ex-
pended for various specified purposes
was 1862, ,946, leaving balance in Nc
Kane's favor of $7S40. 1t is claimed. as
a matter of fact, that the town owes
McKane great deal more, as he has
been paying for years from $4,000 to 3l0,-
900 annually for police services in excess
of the state allowance. These over-pay-
ments, it is stated, will amount TO
$4,000.
