REEDS GREAT SPEECH.
A Brilliant Defense Of the Doc
trine of Protection.
OPPOSED TO THE WILSON BILL.

The Republican Leader Says II II Distaste-
full to Both Parties = What Protection
Has Done For the American People-The
Text Of . Remarkable Address.
In this debate, which has extended over
many weeks, one remarks able result has al
ready been reached-a result Of the deepest
Importance to this country. That result is
that the bill before us is odious to both
sides of the house. It meets with favor no
where and commands the respect of neither
party. On this side we believe that while
it pretends to be for protection it does not
afford it, and on the other side they believe
that while 1t looks toward free trade it does
not accomplish it.
Those who will vote against this bill will
do so because it opens our markets to the
destructive competition Of foreigners, and
those who vote for it do 1t with the reserva-
tion that they will instantly devote them
selves to a new crusade against whatever
barriers are left
Whatever speeches have been made in de-
Tense of the bill on the otner side, whether
by gentlemen who were responsible only to
their own constituencies or by the gentle

MIssouLA, Feb. L3-About 3 o'clock
this morning Robert Burns. who owns
several houses in the western part Of
Missoula. was awakened by loud report
and violent shock. Investigation showed
that the rear END OF the next building
to the one he occupied had been des-
troyed by heavy explosion. Portions
of the house were scattered for many
feet over the snow. A tin pan, which
had been in the house, had lodged in the
top OF tall tree sixty feet away. The
windows Of the room occupied by Mr.
Burns were shattered and some Of the
planks torn of.
The two houses we're nearly alike and
there appears to be no doubt that the
fiend perpetrating the outrage intended
the destruction Of Mr.. Burns and his
property by dynamite, but made the
mistake Of putting the powerful explos-
i've under an unoccupied house. Noclue
to the man or men who committed the
outrage has been discovered. The bouses
are in the tenderl0in district.

The Last Word Unssid.
1t is evident that there is no ground for
that hope entertained by so many moder-
ate men that this bill. bad as it is. could be
a resting place where our manufacturing
and productive industries, such as may
survive, can re-establish themselves and
have a sure foundation for the future, free
from party pickering and party strife
Hence, also. there can be no foundation for
that cry 30 insidiously raised that this bill
should be passed At once because uncer-
tainty Is worse than any bill can possibly
Be. We're this bill TO pass both branches
today uncertainty would reign just the
same
This result was inevitable. Although
this bill professed to open to the maaufnc-
surers new era Of prosperity and profssssd
to be made in the interest Of some Of them,
the moment IL came to be defended on this
noor the great bulk Of 1t could not b de-
Tended on any other ground than the prin-
ciples OF frse trnde Hence In this discus-
sion the precise terms Of this proposed act
count for nQtAing. and Ne are left TO the

Between Yaqui Indians and Mexican
Federal Trooos.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 20.-Details of an
other ambuscade of Yaqui Indians on
Mexican troops has been received. On
July 18th forty-five men of the Four
teenth Battalion left a plat called The
Pilares for Cruz de Piedra, and from there
started on the 30th for Rio Yaqui, south OF
the post of Los Guayamas. They were at
tackled in thick wood near the road by a
hundred Indians, who had divided them
selves on each side of the road. At the
first fire, at pistol range, nine Federals
dropped. Captain Gomez in command,
rallied his men OH the defensive little
outside the ambuscade, when the Indians
attacked the troops furiously, but were
repulSed more than once.
The fight lasted more than an hour and
half, the Federals remaining in posses
sion of the field. While some of the
Indians were fighting the remainder got
away with the baggage, animals, money
and ammunition OF the troops they could
manage to carry off. 1t was noticed that
two Indian women and six or eight
Indian boys about IA years old
were among the combatants of the
Federals. Twelve were killed. six
wounded and the wife of a sergeant
killed, little child of s and boy OF 8
wounded slightly. Four Indians were
killed and twenty y-seyen slightly wound

CIVIL SERVICE CoMMIssIoN.
Roosevelt Says 1t is on a Better Foo
ing Than Ever Before.

Ing Ihan Ever BeIores
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Ciyil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt to-day, in an in
terview on civil service matters, said the
Commission was now on far better foot
ing than ever before for work. The Com
mission, under legislation pushed by
Senators Lodge and Cockrell, hereafter
would have its own set OF clerks, instead
of being dependent on clerks detailed by
the several Government departments.
The Civil Service Commissioner de-
nounced the Bynum bill for the reinstate-
ment of Democratic mail clerks dismissed
prior 10 the classification of the railway
mail service under the civil service sys-
tenn in 1889. as thoroughly vicious par
tisan measure, saying: III it should be-
come a law it would be precedent for
the enactment of similar measures when
ever a change of administration took
place. 1t was introduced purely in the
interest of the spOilsmonger, and is a
thoroughly vicious bin in every way"
Mr. Roosevelt calls attention to the de.
cision of the Attorney-General, which
permits solicitation for political purposes
by letter in Government buildings, and
says the Commission will request the
passage of law to prohibit such solicita-
ton. holding that solicitation for political
purposes is illegal, whether done by let
ter or in person.
