SENATORS POWER of Montana. Shoup
of Idaho, and Roach of North Dakota,
have submitted to the senate finance
committee d strong and comprehensive
review of the wool industry with refer
ence to the necessity for a tariff upon
raw wool. This review states that the
sheep industry, whose immense product
stands seventh in the agricultural pro-
ducts of the country, is carried on in
every state of the Union, with an in
vested capital of owe s400,00O,000, yield
ing an annual product of over $75,00O,-
600, and directly supporting over 5000,
600 people. The industry was develop.
ing at such a remarkable rate that it
expected in nine years the product
of wool would be doubled, a result that
would furnish the material to American
manufacturers to make the goods to sup
ply the American demand, furnish m
ployment to a larger number of people,
and prevent the Importation annually of
$40,000,0OO worth of wooden goods which
a all be made in this country. "The
fear that free wool would become a fact"
continues the memorial, "has caused a
depreciation in value since April last in
the sheep industry alone Of more than
n hundr4 million dollars, and should
it become a law. the prospect is that it
would ruin the industry, 80 far as raising
merino sheep in this country is con
cerned. Whereas, on the other hand,
should congress see fit to defeat such
free wool measure and grant some 9 '

IT is q somewhat curious fact that
North Dakota winters are usually
ushered out by a storm, such as the one
which has prevailed for the two days
last past. There generally occurs a
month or SO of clear, warm weather
along toward the advent of spring, fol-
lowed by a sudden change, a blizzard
as was that of yesterday, and then
spring. The circumstances of the pres
ent storm are much the same as that of
last winter, except that it's occurrence is
about three weeks earlier, the blizzard of
last year having occurred April II, and
following a period of exceptionally warm
weather. The storm which has just
passed, has been general throughout the
state, and has done some damage,
although it's extent cannot be estimated
until it has entirely cleared away, and
reports come in from the affected dis
tricts. In Bismarck, its extent of damage
is small, consisting principally of a tenn
porary inconvenience. West, it has no
doubt been the occasion of some loss
among stock, although 1t cannot have
been very considerable, as it's duration
was not long enough to have caused any
great loss. The storm, which may be
said to have been the only really severe
n of the winter, has cleared off beauti-
fully, and may be set down as the last
effort of an expiring winter. From pres
ent indications, the snow which has
fallen in considerable amounts, will not
remain long, and it's melting will be of
benefit to the soil, and improve it for the
beginning of spring farming operations.

"BOSS, M'KANE'S TESTIMONY.
He Tells General Tracy He Didn't Read
Afidavits Before Signing Them.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. John Y. Nc
Kane concluded his testimony in his own
behalf yesterday. During the proceedings
General Tracy produced the affidavit made
by McKane in the mandamus proceedings,
in which he had sworn that he had exam
ined the Gravesend registry rolls. and which
statement he contradicted on the stand.
After reading that part of the affidavit
General Tracy asked:
did you read part Of the affidavit be-
fore you signed?"
II never heard of that part Of it until I
heard it here in court"
The witnesses attention was called to
some interlineations made with pen and ink
between the typewriter lines just over
McKane's signature and was asked If they
were there when he put his name to the
document Mr.. McKane could not say. lie
explained his lapse of memory by saying
that he only glanced over the affidavit. Il
don't suppose l read five lines of that afii-
davit before j signed It," he said.
Justice Bartlett asked sharply: Did any
body tell you what was in it""
NO, sir" .
"Do you mean to say" continued General
Tracy, that you signed an affidavit con-
sisting of four typewriter pages after
reading only four or five lines of it"
81 mean to say that / supposed that II
was all right, and l signed it."
McKane then left the stand.

retire to private life Republican Congress-
men. They would not give the Republicans
ANYTHING in return for their assistance, ex-
cept the advancement of the Repuoncan
principle of protection. what would the
two free-trade Democratic Senator'S from
Louisiana. for instance, give the Republic
an Senators in Rhode Island for helping
them TO secure protection TO their sugar In
dustry? Would the two Democrats from
Louisiana vote for higher duties on goods
manufactured in New England? Not much.
They would accept a bounty on domestic
sugar and 3. duty on imported sugar to save
their own political skins and help their own
thrcat-cutting and negro-killing political
graveyard. and then turn around and cut
the very heart out OF the manufacturing
districts OF New England. With the Re-
pubIicans in the Senate 1t Is clearly a ques-
ton of giving everything TO Democrats and
receiving nothing.
If the Republicans in the Senate should
assist the Democrats there who want local
protection TO make less offensive the Will
SON tariff bill, those very Democrats who
had received the usufruct of this Repub-
lican generosity would, on the stump this
fall, denounce protection and the vicious
ness of Republican tariff laws. And they
would go further and appeal 10 voters to
not upset a newly-enacted tariff law. which
they would declare to be perfect in character
and untried. They would beg voters TO give
the new tariff law a trial. This the Repub-
leans well appreciate, and knowing that the
country never maintains or supports n mt
nority to overthrow the will OF the majority
help a majority in this hour of need, which
can never find explosives adequate TO ex-
press their feelings against Republican pro-
lection.

ROMANCE AND
A Woman Who Once Spurned James u.
Fair Charged with Murder.

SANTA ROSA, Cal..~Feb. Mrs. Eliza
beth Bryan and Mrs. Mary Jane Fowler,
with the formers sixteen-year-old son,
John, were arrested last night charged with
the murder, on Jan. p. OF the women
blind sister, Mrs. Nancy Meagher. Mrs
Meagher and her husband were fired upon
through the window as they sat at the
table. the woman being instantly killed, but
the husband will probably recover. The blind
woman's sisters were said TO be covetous OF
her wealth and the arrests were T1de IN
accordance with the Instructions OF a cor
oner's jury. All concerned are prominent
people. The suspects were arrested al
Petaluma and brought here to the county
jail, charged with murder. Both women
loudly assert their innocence, but the boy,
who is believed TO have fired the fatal
charge at the instigation of his mother and
aunt, made compromising statements when
closely questioned. He was locked up away
from the women. When Mr.. Meagher re-
gained consciousness, after the discovery or
the crime, he declared that Immediately
after the tragedy, as he lay woundeI IN MS
house, he heard the two sisters OF MS WEc
and young Bryan talking in an adjoining
room and expressing pleasure tnat ne was
dead. The accused women and boy deny
that they were even in the Nfcanlty OF
Meagher's ranch.
A strange romance comes TO light in con-
nection with the murder. Away back In the
early fifties, Mrs. Bryan. one of the ac-
cused sisters, was Miss Elizabeth Mardln.

Judge Tuthill granted the adjournment

States Attorney Bottum- After the court
room had been cleared Coughlin, his faith
er and wife, together with ~eX-Judge Wing

A FAMOUS CASE.
Alleged Facts Concerning Hillman the
Life Insurance Swindler.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 7.-Counsel for the
insurance companies in the famous Hill
man case to-day claim to have unearthed
the real facts in the strange disappearance
Of John NJ. Hillman. They say Hillman
died subsequent to the trial of the case
In 1888. Hillman, they hold, did not die
in the United States, and at the time of
his death he was not known as John Nj.
Hillman. Counsel claim that all the cir
cumstances of the new story would sus-
tain the line of defense heretofore adopted
and confirm the confessions of Hillman's
pal that the body which was produced
and identified by Mrs. Hillman and other
friends was not that of Hillman. but OF a
Fort Madison cigar maker. who wrote TO
his mother and sweetheart on the eve of
his departure from Wichita that he was
going with a man named Hillman to a
ranch near by. Since then, as had been
repeatedly printed and several times
proved in court, the cigar maker has never
been seen. The cigar maker. Mr.. Ware
said, had every reason to live, and Hill
man had a motive to disappear and claim
to be dead.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE net treas
ury balance to-day is stated to be S1I7. H.
325. the first time it has been above the
Observation-Disclosures mark for several
months. This is an increase of S34, 500, coo

A dispatch from New York SAYS: Up to
noon to-day the subtreasury had received
about $43, 10000 in gold on account of the
bonds. The total amount to be received
at the subtreasury, out of the $4,000 600,

1t has been noticed, however, during the
last few days that the redemption Of green
backs has been unusually heavy, as much
as a million dollars having been presented
for that purpose in one lot. So far from
suffering any serious drain of it's gold the
treasury is likely to be used as a. dumping
ground for the ~oversupply, which seems TO

larger cities 1t Will be a positive relief TO

THE DROP IN SILVER.
Comment of London Newspapers on
the Low Price of White Metal.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Chronicle, COM
menting on the extremely low price of
silver. says: 1.-The India Council is severe
~ blamed in this city for the fearful mud
die which has resulted from the currency
experiment. Perhaps if it had not listened
so readily to the Indian authorities and the
traders in India the Inuddle would have
looked less hopeless. In contrast with yes
terday's allotment the action of the council
in autumn shows a lack Of continuity of
policy"
The Daily News, in its financial article.
says: The India council sold eight lakhs OF
rupees in telegraphic transfers at about
l i1-32d, which is q fraction below the cur
rent exchange from India. This is a very
small allotment at such a terribly low rate.
and has increased the CONSERVATION in the
silver rupee market, where it is argued
that now that the council has accepted
such a small tender at so tov. a rate there
Is no saying to what further extent ex-
change may decline. But while a further
fall in silver is admittedly probable. peo-
pie who are we'll informed are disposed to.
take a calmer view concerning the future
course of exchange. and even regard the
silver spot supplies as very small, and thai
there are indications from tho United States
and elsewhere CT n speedy reduction in the
output OF the silver mines. The depression
in silver has. not had much influence on
other markets"

Corporal Tanners Stumps Reduced i'm
Length Two and 0ne-Half Inches.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE stumps of ex-
Pension Commissioner James Tanners
legs have again been shortened two and

formed yesterday by DR.. George b. Fowl
er, assisted by DR.. II. =. Deiatour, DR.. W.
T.. Campbell and DR.. II. d. Callahan, In the
Seney Hospital, Brooklyn. Corporal Tan

that he was very much pleased with the
result. A shell deprived Corporal Tanner
of both legs at the second battle of Bull
Run, and since then 1t has been necessary
TO perform several operations upon the
stunps of the amputated limbs. DIR. Fowl
er gave out the following statement: "The
operation consisted OF a double amputa-
ton in the nature of a reamputation Of the
tibia and fibula of each leg. Two and one
half inches of bone were removed from
each leg. The ends of the stumps had been
badly diseased, and the sciatic nerve was
doubled with a high division. Seven inches
of this Sciatic nerve were removed. The

of Treaties.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I-Fears have been
expressed that the repeal of the reciprocity
clause in the Mckinley act, accomplished
by the late amendments to the Wilson bill,
might have the effect of abrogating or lin
iting the reciprocity treaties already in ex-
istence between 10 country and several
South American republics. But II is pointed
out that the bill contains the following
clause limiting the extent of all repeats:
1.-THE repeal of existing laws or modlica-
tions thereof embraced in this act shall
not affect any act done Or any act accruing
or accrued, or any suit or proceeding had
or commenced in any civil cause before the
and liabilities under said law shall continue
and may be enforced in the same manner as
if said repeal or notifications had not been
made"
Representative Hit, who was closely
identified with Mr.. Blaine In the develop
ment Of the reciprocity treaty, says the
foregoing proviso applies only to the pend
ing suits on the appraisal of merchandise.
He thinks the repeal of the reciprocity

These treaties were brought about mainly

"MARKETs OF THE wORLD."'
Poor Show for American Flour Re-
ported by Several COnsuIs.

DOENtd ~
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-B. r. Bedle,
United States consul at Sheffield, has made
a report on the American wheat and flour
trade in his district. The flour mostly
used there Is known as the XXX standard.
No American wheat flour seems to come
into the district. For the year ending
June 30. 1893, 10000 bushels of American
wheat were imported from all parts of
America; from all other countries, $780,
900. People are prepared to use American
flour provided they get quality at a low
price.
The United States consul at ~Barranquilla,
United States of Colombia, thinks most of
the natives prefer their native bread to
that made OF American wheat -four. No
American wheat is ever imported. He
thinks the lack of wheat bread-eaters the
principal obstacle to increasing the trade.
James ViOsea, consul at La Paz. Bolivia,
says native -four from the neighboring
state Of sonora. Mexico, and the northern
portion of this territory is now used en-
tirely. Ii is of poor quality. The amount
of native flour consumed is from $50 20
200 tons per month. The import duty is
about S10e6 per barrel. This IS prohibltory.
+. {, Penfield., consul general at Cairo,
says Egypt produces a surplus Of bread
stuff and exports to Europe.
