cut between Orms street and Gladstone
avenue. The head and one arm were
completely served from the body, and
other limbs were crushed To a Jelly. The
track, for many feet in each direction,
was covered with blood and pieces OF
flesh and scraps of clothing. Two white
wooden gloves, one OF which still covered
the severed hand, lay on the track near the
body.

one-half and that on potatoes three- fifths. The duty on four is to be re- duced, though the present Canadian duty is so high that there is no market for any American four in the domin- ion. In few instances the senate amendments are better than the origin al bill. One of them imposes slightly heavier duty on barley than it did and another takes apples off the free list, but imposes smaller duty than the Mckinley law. Yet even if the bill were to pass with those amendments the Canadian dutIes would be higher than the American ones.
 The entire agricultural schedule of the Wilson bill shows how little it's framers care for the interests of the farmer on this side of the St. Law renee, while they are willing to do all in their power for the farmer on the other side. In 1888 the farmers repudi- ated the Mills bill. They will be even more emphatic this fall in their con- demnation of the Wilson bill, which will do them far more harm than that other democratic measure could.-Chi. cago Tribune,

THE HAWAIIAN REPORT.

Ex-Minis.er Stevens Exonerated by the
 Senate Committee.
 The contention that Minister Stevens conspired for the overthrow of the Ha- waiian monarchy, and that it would never have fallen but for fear of the power of the United States, finds no favor in the report of the senate com mittee, of which Mir. Morgan was chair man. This report shows conclusively, upon the evidence elicited by the com mittee in an exhaustive inquiry into the whole case, that the queen was re- sponsible for her own downfall; that the constitution and her own oath to sup port it being the only foundation for her legal authority, her announcement of purpose to absolve herself from thai oath amounted to complete nb- dication and left the islands without any actual, efficient government The precise language of the report on this poiat is as follows:
 'LiliuoRalani had only been kept on her throne by the forbearing tolerance of the white people, who owned fifty million dollars Of the property on the islands. It required nothing bul the determined action of what was known as the missionary party to overthrow the queen, and that action had been taken before

the troops from the Boston landed. There was no executive head of the government of Ha. wall; 1t had perished."
 Mir. Morgan concludes, in view of all the facts, that Minister Stevens was in no sense party to conspiracy; that "the recognition (by him) of the pro- visional government was lawful and authoritative" and that his only error was in declaring protectorate over the islands-an act which, it will be re- membered, President Harrison prompt ly disavowed. There can be no doubt that these conclusions will be finally
 ccepted as the judgment of the coun- try as to this whole affair. They are the only conclusions possible upon a fair and judicial interpretation of the facts involved. That the report is a practical vindication of the last admin istration, goeJ without saying. It ap- plauds the very acts which Mir. Cleve- land was suspiciously alert in con- demning. And it rebukes in explicit terms the departure of the present ad- ministration from the settled policy of the country in the support of republic an institutions and principles wherever it's influence is felt. "When throne" it says, "falls in any kingdom of the western hemisphere it is pulverized, and when scepter departs it departs forever, and American opinion cannot sustain any American ruler in the at- tempt to restore them, no matter how virtuous and sincere the reasons may be that seem to justify him" In this statement, the report expresses the un- doubted conviction of our people, and that conviction will not be modified or changed by any special pleading of cuckoo" statesmen or any appeals to party prejudice or passion by the or gans of partisan opinion.

IT HURTS THE FARMER.
How the Wilson Bill VIII Operate on
 American Producers.

How the Wilson Bill VIII Operate on
 American Producers.
 The framers of the Wilson bill put agricultural implements on the iree list The American manufacturers called the attention of the senate com mittee to the fact that the only real competitor of the United States in the manufacture of those articles was Can- ada, and that while it was proposed to admit Canadian implements duty free the dominion imposed on such articles made in this country duty which was so high as to be proh' 'bitory. They asked therefore that the present. duties on imported agricultural implements should be retained against Canada
 The justice of this is apparent, and for some reason the finance committee yielded to the demand and prepared the proper amendment. But it refused to go farther in this direction by applying the same principle to other articles. The Wilson bill places eggs, cabbages and some other products of the farm on the free list Canada imposes duty on such articles. Therefore, the Cana
  dian farmer under the Wilson bill can send his products free across the boun- dary line. The Vermont or New York farmer cannot send his into Canada without paying duty on them. The senate committee refuses so to amend the bill as to retain the old duties where the Canadians collect duties.
 While the Wilson bill places on the free list some Canadian products, 1t lowers greatly the duties on others, but does not call for concessions in return. For instance the present duty on horses, of which q large number used to be imported from Canada, is $50 per head The pending tariff bill changes the duty to 20 per cent. ad valorem. If a horse is worth s60 it has to pay now $50 duty. Under the Wilson bill it would have to pay SIP, or 60 per cent. less. This is the way in which duties which protect the farmer are to be re- duced by populists and democrats, who claim that they are the special friends of the farmer.
 The duty on hay is to be cut down

It Assemblies at Omaha and Is Welcomed
 by the Mayor-Papers Read.
 OMAHA, Neb., March 22. Three hun. dred delegates, representing Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Missouri and Montana, were present at the opening session of the interstate irrigation congress here yesterday. w. N. Mason, of Omaha, called the con. gress to order in brief talk and intro duced President Moses, who reviewed the objects of the convention
 After it had been decided to admit all residents of the arid region to the convention Mayor Bemis welcomed the delegates to Omaha. President Moses then delivered an extended address on irrigation, and Secretary Bristow, of Kansas, urged the convention to de. mand from congress thorough inves- tigation of the possibilities of the semi-arid region when properly watered
 At the afternoon session ex-Senator Warren, of Wyoming, delivered an ad- dress on the general subject of irriga- tion. He said it was too early in ex- perience to name any particular method to be pursued. The best results had been obtained through the develop ment of small farms until large ones had been rendered profitable. Maj. Powell, of the United States geo logical survey, talked of the storm water storage plan. He thought that this was still in the experi- mental stage. In Utah and California, where it had been tried, it had been successful. He did not think storm water could be economically stored in a main channel It was better to have it in lateral basins. Prof. Hayes. of Kansas, made brief talk on the gem eral topic, and Donald Campbell, of Denver, explained the well water sys- tenn of irrigation in vogue in India
 Judge J. D. Emery, national lecturer of the association, addressed the asso- citation on the duty of general govern ment in the reclamation of the semi arid plains. All the economic facts should be gathered by the government and the rest left to private capital.

He finds that the republican senate as organ ized by President Rogers is lawful body and that Rogers is the president of the senate. Some time ago the democrats declared they would abide the decision of the chief justice and would not carry the controversy any further. As soon as he learned of the decision of the supreme court Gov. Werts, democrat, sent for the repub- lican treasurer-elect and comptroller elect and issued commissions to them to date from April 2.

Estimates on the Amount the New Tarih
 Hill WII Yield-Probably an Excess.
 WARRINGTON, March 22.-The esti mates of the amount of revenue which the tariff bill reported to the senate Tuesday will probably yield show that the total amount will be about s3S1,- 900, 900. This is reduction of between SIS, GOO, 900 and $14, 900, 900 from the esti- mates in the first bill reported to the committee. The principal reduction is made in the internal revenue part of the bill, through the restoration of the present tax rates on cigars and cigarettes, which amounts to a loss of over $10,000, ,000. There will also be an appreciable fall ing off of the duty on tin plate caused by changing the duty on that importa. tion from 1 1-15 cents to cent per pound. The change in the fruit sched- ule, whereby bananas, pineapples and cocoanuts are taken from the dutiabie list, will make up the other principal items of loss. Bananas are imported in large quantities, and the imposition of duty of 3 cents per pound, as first imposed by the committee, would have produced a revenue of $1, org, 236.
 The committee found, upon investi- gation, however, that the bill would produce more revenue than would be needed and as bananas are not pro- duced in this country outside of small section on the Gulf of Mexico, it was decided to restore them to the free list. As the bill stands, if the estimate is correct, it will produce at least $50, OoO,. 900 more of revenue than will be needed The change made in the sugar schedule will not cause show. ing in the estimates different from the subcommittee bill, as the first esti. mate was made upon sugar testing 90 deg. fine.
 The estimate for the present bill will probably be upon the same grade oi sugar. There would, however be slight difference in actual returns, as the maximum duty rate under the present bill is L3sH per pound as against l. 40 on the subcommittee bill The difference on this score would be controlled entirely by the quantity of high grade sugar imported
