Mr.. JOHNSON'S AMENDMENT
The Ohio Statesman Wants Rails Added
TO the Free List.
he is 4 MANUFACTURER HIMSELF
Dalzelrs Sarcastic Attack on JohnSon-Sb
ley Creates a Sensation by Bitterly
Opposing the Wilson Bill.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. I9-In the house
today consideration Of the tariff bill WAS
resumed, the pending amendment being
that by johnson OF Ohio placing steel
rails on the free list. The Wilson bill
proposes duty of % per cent on railway
bars made in part Of steel rails and grid
ers, street rails and punched iron or
steel and flat rails.
Mr.. johnson OK Explained his amendment
that steel rail pool existed which paid
steel rail mills to close their works and
give them monopoly OF this production.
He said it was generally admitted that
no revenue would be produced by put
ting duty Of % per cent on them. The
ways and means committee do not claim
it would produce revenue, and he asked
the house either to put steel rails on the
free list or show good reason FOR not do
ing 80.
Mr. Springer asked Mr.. johnson, who
is himself steel rail producer, whether
the placing of rails on the free list would
drive rail manufacturers out OF business,
to which the latter replied it would not.
It's only effect would be 10 reduce the
profits of the mill owners.
Mr.. Dalzell Republican Of Pennsyl-
vania) proceeded to attack johnson.
The steel rail production, he said, is i'm
portant in eleven states Mr.. johnson,
he continued, sarcastically, sought to
give strength to his plea for free rails on
the ground that he himself is a manu-
facturer. He sought to give the impress
sion that he is in competition with the
mills in the alleged trust. AS a matter
OF fact, he only manufactured street
railway rails, and he had monop-
oily of that production. MIR. Dalzell went
on to cay he had in his hand copies OF
ten patents issued to Moxhsm, president
Of the johnson company. They give
him the most complete and despotc form
of protection, yet from behind that wall
Of protection he assumed the role OF phil
anthropist and wanted to take protection
away from producers Of railroad rails who
had no patents. Republican applause.
At the night session Mr.. Sibley dem
ocrat) of Pennsylvania created some
thing OF a sensation by a bitter speech |
against the Wilson bill. He said he did
not believe that tariffs made or unmade
prosperity. He would support, he de-
clared, revenue tariff bill such az was
demanded by the platform, but he would |
never vote for this bill, which was a |
hybridI half free trade and half protec-
ton, with the vices OF both and virtues
OF neither.
Johnson 3 amendment to put steel rails
on the free list was lost by 70 to 100.
Henderson offered an amendment to |
substitute the present law for the agri- |,
cultural schedule, and long debate on
agriculture ensued.

A WORD FOR CLEVELAND.
The London Times Com IN ends HIS Polio
In the Hawaiian Matter.

The London Times Commsnds His Policy
In the Hawaiian Matter.
LONDON, Jan. IA leading editorial
in the London Times has the following 10
say concerning the Hawaiian muddle.
The article creates some surprise from
the fact that heretofore the Times has
taken but little part in the controversy.
1T is prudent to accept all unofficial
rumors from Hawaii with reserve. 1t is
possible the report that the ex-queen is
in danger OF death is well founded,
and 1t is easy to believe also that consti-
tutional weakness of the heart must have
been severely aggravated by the intense
prolonged anxiety Of her present position.
On the other hand, 1t is conceivable that
some persons concerned in the intrigue
OF her downfall must be interested in
spreading false reports in regard to her
health. 1t is amusing and instructive to
observe that, although the whole con
spiracy which Thurston concocted and
executed by aid OF the American minis
ter was simply plot 10 annex the is
lands to the United States against the
will OF the Hawaiians, he initiates Presi-
dent Dole's example and swaggers about
the International rights of the indepen-
dent republic of Hawaii"
The article proceeds to praise Cleve
land for his firm attitude in the Ha-
waiian matter, and continues: What
the ultimate issue will be it is not eaey
to say, but in the face of Willis dispatch
it is satisfactory to know there is a naval
force available sufficient to protect the
lives and property of British inhabitants.
1t is probable the risk OF violent at
tempt on the ex-queen' 8 life is not serious,
but it is both ludlcrous and significant to
find the American minister relies upon
telephone from the ex-queen's house to
his room for her protection. Although
Liliuokalani is no doubt we'll advised in
asserting to President Cleveland's terms,
it cannot be denied the objections she
originally urged against them have a
deal OF force. In the dramatic conversa-
ton reported by Willis, she exhibited
cuteness of underst anding as we'll as a
aueenly dignity OF really striking
kind"
