THE TARIFF AMENDMENTS
VIII Re Considered by Full Finance
Committee Monday.

Committee Monday.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March II, 1894 For
some days the Democratic members of the
Finance Committee have been in conference
concerning the amendments, which, in the
light Of the discussion that has been
going on In full committee, they will
offer to the bill in full committee. This was
the object of their meeting last evening, and
they will meet again today to hnally deter
mine what the exact nature OF those amend
ments shall be. The Republicans have made
no attempt to amend the bill ana will MAIN
tain that attitude, the Democrats having in
formed them in committee that the major
ity alone could determine what should be
DONE
The Democrats have notified the minority
that they expect to submit their amend
ments to them, perhaps Monday, and with
amended bill viii be sent to the printer to
night, so that the revised version
can be laid before the full committee today
These amendments will then come up for ac-
ton in full committee, prior to the reporting
of the bill, which is expected to take place
Thursday of next week.
Speaking of the reciprocal treaties, Mr..
Jones of Ark. said last night that the Demo-
cratic members of the committee work of
one mind on that question They each held
that the repeal Of section 5 of the Nc
Kinley act carried with it the
abroqation of the commercial arrange
ments made under 1t and that the duty
levied on sugar by the bill would be levied
against all sugars coming into the United
States He also said the committee was not
opposed to an amendment suggested by Mr..
Caffery of Louisiana, the purpose OF which
is to remove any ambiguity that may exist
in the repeating clause

GRAND REVIEW AT CANNES.
p rince of Wales, Britannia Led the
Large Racing Yachts.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.


CANNES, March II, 1s94-The grand re-
view Of the yachting feet was brilliant af-
fair judged from spectacular point of view,
but was somewhat disappointing in respect
of the number of spectators which it
attracted. The weather was delightfully."-
clear and warm. All the yachts from the
different parts of the Riviera were in
cluded in the review The yachts were,
classed by Admiral Lage, of the
French navy, and arranged In three lines
The Admiral passed along the lines.
The French torpedo cruiser Wattignies,
starting at half-past one P. M. His Majesty
was saluted by the firing of can :
non and the dipping of flags. Baron de
Rothschild's Eros headed the line of
steam yachts, and the Prince of Wales,
Britannia led the large sailing yachts. There
were large number of excursion steamers,
which were well filed by the crowds who
preferred witnessing the spectacle ahoat to
obtaining less satisfactory view ashore
After the review the steamers moved in pro-
cession to the Bay of Napoule and returned
to the port.
The success of the regatta and of the re-
view as we'll as an attraction, was incon-
plete, owing to the fact that the number of
visitors from Monte Carlo was not nearly SO
large as was expected

GENERAL M'O0oK's REPORT.

WASHINGTON March II, 1894 Secretary
Lamont received, by telegraph, long re-
port from General McCook at Denver, this
morning, detailing the situation. There is
no change in the attitude of the United
States in the matter, that Is to say
General McCook is only authorized to use
the troops for the protection Of the property
OF the United States Government unless
representation is made to him by the Cover
nor of the State that the State authorities
ara unable to suppress domestic violence, in
which case, report of the fact will be made
to the President for his action under Section
4, Art Of the Constitution.
Sec stary Lamont carried over General
McCook's report to the president No
reply was made to General McCook, as the
dispatch sent him yesterday after the
cabinet meeting, was considered sufficient
to govern his actions in any emergency
that is apt to occur at present. Secretary
Lamont declines to make public the report.
but Senator Teller, who called on him
this morning and saw the despatch,
SAYS it contains nothing additional to
what was published in this mornings
papers The Senator says he saw the Sec
retary to consult with him in compliance
with kilograms received from home. He says
the troops will stay in Denver for while, at
least until affairs are settled there. He thinks
the troops will suffice to preserve order with
out any demonstration on their part, and
that he has no apprehension of bloodshed at
r,resant

publican majorities that have been rolled up
have been the result largely Of Democratic
inaction. Industrial depressions, panlcs,
business reverses, have always told against
the party in power, but not necessarily IN
favor of party twice discredited by over
whelming numbers, as the Republican party
has BEEN 1t will tell in favor, too, OF new
measures, new ideas and it is today about
meet in the political arena-the third
party by no means the weakest in numerical
strength, providing that its heterogeneity OF
purposes does not divide it to its own des-
struction But the existence of a third party
in '96, the Democrats can avoid If they will;
and to do that. they must rend out every
protectionst in the ranks; exclude the trim
mers. the David B. Hills, the Germans, and
every man jack who thinks we need a tariff
for any purpose whatever. 1T the Demo-
cratic party was that kind of party today,
three years from now it would sweep every
State in the Union.

WEST HOB0KEN STRIKERS FIRM.


MIL Owners.WflI Consider Employes'
Demands Tonight.
The committee of eleven of the striking
silk weavers of Swatzenbach's silk mills,
West Hoboken, waited upon Superintendent
Ruegg this morning and asked him if the
firm would concede their demands.
Mr.. Ruegg replied that he expected a
member of the firm at the mill this evening,
when conference would be held. He ex-
pected to be able to give the strikers a defin-
ite reply Monday morning.
At the meeting Of strikers this morning
the men determined not to return to work
unless the firm gave in. The strikers claim
that if they give in the other silk firms who
have granted an increase of wages will again
make reduction.
In conversation with JERSEY Cry NEWS
reporter this morning, Mr.. Ruegg said
he did not think the firm would
grant the strikers demands, although ii
might arbitrate the matter and increase the
percentage two or three points. He further
said they were arranging for a number OF
hands to fill the places Of the strikers when
the time came, but he refused to tell when
that time is.

With some very few exceptions, which it
were invidious to name, but which all in the
railway world know as such exceptions, the
railway corporations of the United States
literally live from hand to mouth and have
no working or reserve capital whatever,
although their business requires it more than
any other The railways are capitalized for
the bonded indebtedness, car trust certifi-
Gates, equipment and terminal securities,
taken at par, represent value in excess of
the cost of the road, and upon them fixed

out annually in the shape OF interest alone

CRUELTY IN AN HOSPITAL

BUFFALO, N. Y, March II, 1S94.-H at
tendant Michael KilIeen is to be believed he
can, if he chooses, and if the State Commits
sion in Lunacy order him to do SO, reveal a
horrible state of affairs at the Buffalo State
Hospital Irritated beyond endurance
blythe fact that his colleagues in the asylum
were seeking to throw all the blame for
patient Felton's death upon him, and under
the influence of resentment he suddenly
arose during the invest igation yesterday and
exclaimed
II wish the commissioners would widen
the scope of the investigation. l could then
show that Flanagan, Maloney and the other
attendants who have attacked me, did things
great deal worse than did"
snWhat do you meanW demanded Judge
Mcmahon.
might say great deal more, replied Killeen.
"Do you mean to say that yon know of
cases where patients have been maltreated
by the attendants2 Can you prove it, or Is
it mere hearsayw
Eyes, saw several fracases in Ward 3, !"
KilIeen said, hesitatingly. "Besides there
was the case of the patient Vandorn, who
the police say, was taken to the hospital in
good health, but who died shortly after at
the hospital 1t is hard on me to listen to all
these charges of Maloney and Flanagan
when their treatment of patients was great
deal worse than mime
The commissioners suddenly decided that
the investigation was not a general one, and
shut Kiueen off. He merely said "Let the
thing rest then"
The commissioners did, however, tell
Killeen that if he would make charges
against the hospital management and file q
sworn statement they would begin rigid
general investigation.
Claude Vandorn, the patient referred to
by Killeen was taken there physically sound
In a week he was a corpse. He died from
terrible injuries. Dr. Andrews said that he
was injured when he came to the hospital.
Vandorn's sister and friends say different.
The commissioners are convinced that the
management of the Buffalo State Hospital
is extremely rotten. One of them said
SITS officials have shown them
selves to be consummate liars
during the investigations, and tales Of
brutality and ferocious cruelty have been
told that will leave an indelible stain on the
records of the institution"
1t is unlikely that the commissioners will
hold another meeting In the Fulton case, but
their report will undoubtedly reflected sew
erely on the asylum management.

SIR FRANCIS COOKS LIAsoN.
Mrs. Holland Sues Him for Breach
of Promise.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, March II, 1s94.-The trial of the
action brought by Mrs Holland against Sir
Francis Cook, the husband of Tennie Clafin,
sister of Victoria Woodruff, for breach
of promise and seduction was begun in
the Court of Queens Bench today. The
plaintiff charges that Sir Francis Cook,
under promise of marriage, induced her to
become intimate with him in his house at
Richmond, the promise of marriage to
be fulfilled when his wife should die
This, she says, occurred in 1870. She
continued her relations with him, the prom
ises being renewed from time to time, until,
in 1850, she found herself i'll delicate
condition. Sir Francis, she alleges, COM
pelled her to undergo an operation,
which. although successful, was almost
fatal in its effects. In 1884 Lady Cook died,
and in 1885 Sir Francis, disregarding his
promise to the plaintiff, married Tennie
Claflin
Sir Francis admits intimacy with the
woman, but says he never promised to marry
her and had no intention of doing so. He
always paid for her favors and she invari-
ably accepted the money.
