Wilson on Foreign Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Chairman Will
son. of the Ways aud Means committee,
says no consideration has been given to
further tariff legiSl alton which would
overcome the disagreementS between this
country and Germany, France and Aus
tria, as result of the ditterential duty
on the sugars OF those countries. After
Germany's ambassador made vigorous
protest against the duty, Germany closed
her ports against American meat
products: Denmark followed suit
and general commercial war
fare between the United States
and sugar producing countries seemed
imminent Under these circumstances 1t
is believed Congress would take off the
differential duty and thus restore com
merciaI harmony. Wilson says, however,
any steps in that direction must be taken
by the Senate.
The Senate finance committee IN re-
porting back the free sugar bill, struck
out the entire text of the House bill and
inserted forty per cent advalOrem duty
on sugar" No reference Is made to the
differential duty OF One-tenth OF one per
cent. against countries paying export
duty on sugar, so the omission to mention
it is said to have had the effect OF repeal
ing the rfferential.
The subject, therefore, is ready to be
taken up whenever the Senate considers
the free sugar bill and Wilson does not
consider it necessary to get up an indie
pendent measure dealing with the diff
iereDtial against foreign countries.
Geo. II. Davis, Of Chicago, who was
here to urge the repeal of the differential
in order that German ports may be re-
opened to American meats, has not yet
conferred with Wilson or any mem
bers OF the Ways and Means
committee Wilson does not appear
to be greatly impressed by the effort to
have the embargo removed on American
meats When we have meat trust al
lied against aSugar trust, he said, there
is hope that the people may secure some

DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC.
IT RUNS RIOT FOR WEEKS IN AN
EASTERN INFANT ASYLUM.
The Institution Finally Quaran-
tined, New Arrivals Prevented
and Proper Measures of Pre-
vention Taken.

New YORK, Dec. 2l.-The World this
morning says: There has been an cpl
demic of diphtheria at the country home
of the New York infant asylum at Mount
Vernon during the past eight weeks. Not
outstanding the fact that more than
eighty children were taken down with the
disease, and that at least sixteen cases
proved fatal the news of this has only
Just leaked out. The disease is not con-
fined to the inmates of the asylum alone.
1t was learned that one OF the three resi-
dent physicians at the asylum, DR.. Peck.
was stricken with diphtheria and is sUill
under medical treatment. There are
nov 364 children, ranging from 3 weeks
to years of age, at the asylum. There
are also 160 mothers and II nurses on the
grounds.
]. E. Simmons, president of the Fourth
National bank, Is the president of the
asylum.
One of the first cases of diphtheria that
was discovered at the asylum was that of
little Walter Fisher, who died in the lat
ter part of September asst. A few days
atterward new cases sprang no at nearly
every one of the cottages. The health Of
fcer was not satisfied, and at his Su2geS-
ton one of the cottages was cleared out
and turned into a contagious quarantine
ward. BacteriolOgical examinations were
made. showing that the disease had put
in an appearance in its severest form or
course here we're large number of mild
cases of diphtheria among the infants, but
the officials OF the institution admitted
that they treated over eighty genuine
cases since the epidemic broke ont.
Since the GU break of the epidemic the
health officers of Mt Vernon have put
the entire institution under Suict Quarau-
tine and hava forbidden the reception Of
children from the city until all is well.

PHELPS TURNS HIMSELF LOOSE.
HE DOES NOT THINK HUNTINGTON
WAS THE MAN WHO STOLE.
A Severe Arrangement of the Com
pany Who Hounded Huntington
to HIS Death.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Dec. 2l.-The
funeral OF John Huntington, the young
bank clerk who killed himself after shoot
ing two examiners of the Fidelity and
Casualty company on Sunday, was held at
the First Presbyterian church yesterday,
DR.. Stephen Phelps, the pastor, in his re-
marks made some rather sensational ut
terances. The preacher said If there
is any money missing, and that has
not yet been proved, the hand lying
quiet at my feet, eraSping the noSegay OF
flowers, did not take it, Huntington was
sensitive to evil, or imputation Of evil.
The shooting was not planned before
hand. 1t was born Of frenzy. Who is re-
spo1sible for that frenzy, GOD In his own
good time will answer. He felt the wave
of frenzy stealing over him and his eyes
looked in vain from one to the
other on the group before him for help.
Those who should have been true to pro-
tect him had left him to fight his battle
alone. If they had any idea of the
thoughts that were surging through his
brain, how willingly would they have
said the word, or done the deed. that
might have prevented the horrible event.
They say he looked cool; men sometimes
look the coolest when they are most
wrought up. Twice | have been on the
point Of taking human life, but / never
was cooler in my life. In the still moving
river there is a power not dreamed of in
the torrent. Why is it that business has
come to point where they must hunt our
young men down? Responsibility de-
mands a suitable return. Where thouS-
ands of dollars pass through young
mans hand with every temptation at
crookednesss held out before him, how
can there be any justice in paying him
only S45 a month? II the young man had
not been breaking the Sabbath under
compulSion of his employers, this shoot
ing would not have taken place. En-
ployerS should stand by their men. Stand
by them when their men are In trouble,
and not leave them to merciless peopls
who hold their positions because they are
experts in the art of treadiDg on the feel
lngS of their fellOwmen.'

All Secret Societies Banned.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 22.-An Asso-
ciated Press reporter called to see Bishop
McQuaide, at st. Bernard's seminary, in
regard to the decree of Introduction
against secret societies. Bishop Nc
Quaide said: The decree came direct
from the Holy See, at Rome, and is sim
ply confederation OF what has been in
vogue for many years in the church. 1t is
in Latin and owing to the fact that 1t is
to be translated, which requires some
time, will not be able to give it out
until after New Year. Up to four or five
gears ago, there was no question about
this natter, but at that time some unau-
thorlzed persons gave IL out that the
ban of the church had been removed
from all secret societies, except the Ma
sons. The matter was brought to our
attention and we investigated it. finally
referring 1t TO the Holy See. The decree
is against the Odd Fellows, Knights of
PythiaS. Society OF Temperance, and
other societies against which the same
objection can be raised.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. 2l. - A
strange story comes from Allegheny coun-
ty. From early childhood Frank Statsic
has believed that an alligator haunted the
lakes and streams around Harris creek.
The story was told him when he was a
child, and he grew up in the faith. Re-
turning home in the early evening some

which he thought was an alligator. He
shouted and threw stones at 1t, but it did

creek and rescued johnson and took him
home. The Doctor found that JOhnSon's

Statsic was arrested for murderous as

began a civil suit for damages and a JUS

Downed the Sunday Concert.

BOsToN, Mass, Dec. 2l.-After an extra
session lasting for several hours the
board of police, who have been investigat-
ing the propriety Of Sunday evening con-
certs, has decided to revoke the licenses
granted to the Palace theatre, Howard
Athenaum, and Grand Dime Museum No
action was taken in the cases of the BoS
ton and Hollis Street theatre, Judgment
in the former case being suspended on &C
count OF disagreement. The reason
given for revoking the three licenses is
that the managers of the theatres do not
pay special attention to the sacredness of
the Sunday concert programs. The
licenses were granted by the board OF
aldermen. but under an act of the legiSa-
ture of 1894, the board OF police is given
authority to revoke licenses granted by
the aldermen. This decision is looked on
as a victory by the leaders OF the move.
