Portland, Oregon, is a great sufferer by the

moving goods to more secure places. In many
instances merchants had been compelled to
move their goods several times to keep them

great Inconvenience. To those out of employ

hundreds of men lind work in building and

THE BURGLARS STORY.
II He Was Surprised tho Man He Wis.
tied Was Also.

Another man connected with the
sherih's department told n Chicago
Record writer OF conversation he had
with a burglar who was in Jail. The
''crook' had expressed surprise that
SO many persons are in deadly fear
Of n burglar.
"a burglars the most harmless
person in the world, If he's left
alone said he. ats only the green
horns out in the country who go to
work to kill the family before they
rob the house. and OF course they're
always caught. A good burglar who
wants to keep at his trade is just as
anxious not to disturb the house as
the house is not to be disturbed
Understand? He won't pull gun
and shoot unless some one shoots at
him, grapples with him or blocks his
way when he tries to get out. Ho
doesn't want to make any noise. A
pistol shot is almost sure to bring
other people, maybe the police, and
therefore he won't shoot except in
self-defense. So you see there's no
sense of being afraid of burglar.
The burglar is the one that needs to
be afraid He's taking all the risk.

payment OF the expenses of the bribery and
other Investigating committees out of the
contingent fund was adopted
The tariff bill was taken up the sugar
schedule being pending. Senator Vest took
the floor aud made brief explanation con-
cerning the eontroverted point in last Satur-
days debate as TO the existence of the sugar
trust in 1880. Mr.. Allison then spoke against
the sugar schedule.
Mr.. Jones followed with detailed explana-
tion of the sugar schedule. He denied that
the Mckinley bill had given the people one
ounce Of free sugar. BY imposing duty of
siN-tenths OF cent on refined sugar, it had
taxed the people S23, 900, 900, all of which
went into the pockets of the refners. Be-
slider sl5,oOO, COO had to be paid out of the
treasury In the form of sugar bouuties SO that
the total sugar tax on the people of the
United states amounted to S-}3, ,000, 600, of
which not one dollar had gone into the fed
eral treasury. The duty which 1t was pro-
posed to impose by the bill. he said, would
cost the people about s55, ,000, 600, of which
So, 600 would 20 into the treasury, S.
OOO,OOO to The planters in the form of protec-
tion, and S6,00O,0 900 to the refiners, who would
get but one-fourth OF what they got under the
present law.
Mr.. lloar did not believe his constituents
would understand the complicated mathe-
matlcs OF the sugar schedule, but he said they
would understand that tine party which prom
ised them free raw material free coal, iron
ore, lead ore, free sugar, etc, had betrayed
New England by breaking down their indus
tries in order TO build up those of the South.
II was agreed before adjournment that a
vote should be taken on the sugar schedule
tomorrow.

joint resolution approprirting $4,000 to de-
fray the expenses OF the sugar Investigating
