A CLASH ON THE TARIFF.
Senator Harris Determined to Push the
Supplemental Bills.

Many Democratic Senators Doubt the
Expedienoy of Attempting to Pass
Any of the Tariff Measures Now on
the Senate Calendar-Any Attempt to
Amend the Present Sugar Schedule
Sure to Be Antagonized by a Certain
ooterie of Democratic Senators.
Washington, Nov. 1s.-When the Senate
reconvenes on the first Monday in next
month, unless the programme mapped out
by certain senator's should be rearranged,
there will probably be a clash on the tariff
question. Senator Harris states that he
intends to push the supplemental tariff
bills for action as soon as possible after
congress convenes, which probably means
after the holiday recess. This is in accord
with the statements he made on the floor
of the Senate at the time these so-called
''pop-gun" tariff bills were referred to
the finance committee. The bills relat-
ing to free iron ore. coal and barbed wire
came back from the finance committee
practically as they went there. but the bill
placing sugar on the free list was pigeon
holed and a substitute was reported, plac--
Ing a uniform duty of 40 per cent on all
sugars. thereby doing away with the DIFF
ferential one-eighth duty that operates to
the advantage of the rehner and the dis
eliminating one-tenth duty that operates
against the German exporters.
Democratic senators, not among those
classed as conservatives, express doubts
as to the desirability of attempting to
pass any Of the tariff bills now on the Sen
ate calendar at the next session. one OF
these senator's appreciates the fact that
there are leading men in his own party
who, aided and abetted by the republl-
cans, will use every effort to prevent the
present sugar schedule being amended,
and that to attempt it would result in
nothing more than the consumption Of
valuable time that would be needed In the
consideration of measures on which po-
litical lines would not be drawn, and
upon which the country is demanding ac,
tion by congress-
To make sugar free, in view of the let
ter of Secretary Carlisle, and in view Of
the small receipts under the new law
so far, this senator insists, is utterly i'm
possible, and to seek to change the sugar
schedule in any way, he thought would
be equally unwise, it would open up
anew the tariff debate and start a flood
of debate, that, once unloosed, could not
be checked.

homes No further shocks have been re-
ported from other places.

Ciroumstantial Evidence Points to the
Two Men Under Arrest.

Denver, Nov 1S.-The police last night
arrested a man giving the name of Moller
claiming to be an Italian, in a house on
Strangers Row. He was an ordinary
quarrelsome person. but the morning pa
pers caught him red-handed In the act Of
strangling Marie Nendres.
The man Demady, who was indicted for
the murder of Lena Taper, is the most
promising "strangler," but the evidence
against him is circumstantial.
The man Rock, who was arrested last
week, the police claim to have some dam
aging evidence against, but they Will not
divulge it at present. The residents Of
Market street are very nervous and super
stitious, and the least disturbance though

wANTe TO SHIELD HIM.
A Woman Tries to Save Brother-in-
Law Who Assaulted Her.

Law Who Assaulted Her.
Sharon, Pa, Nov. 1s.-The mystery sur
rounding the recent assault on Mrs. John
Jack of Kilgore has been partly solved
by the confession of Emerson Osborne, a
prominent member of the Sandy Lake
United Presbyterian church. Mrs. Jack,
about three weeks ago, disappeared from
her home, and was found three days later
I'm "a hollow log, half dead. She said she
had attempted to take her own life by
beating her head with a stone.
This did not satisfy the authorities and
they arrested Osborne. Yesterday he
broke down and confessed all, saying that
he did make the assault, and thinking
Mrs, Jack was dead, had placed her in the
log to cover up his crime.
Osborne is a brother-in-law OF Mrs Jack
and, IL Is alleged, she is making every
effort to shield him. Her object In so do
ing cannot be surmised unless IL be a
desire to save the family from disgrace
through further investigation and publca-
tion OF the outrage. Mrs Jack Is the
daughter Of ex-Sherin Fleming Smith and
all the parties are prominently connected.

MASSACRE OF THE ARmEN1ANs.
The Porte Alarmed at the Activity of
the British Minister

London, Nov. 1S.-The Daily News cor
respondent in Constantinople says. in a
dispatch concerning the massacre of Ar
menians in the Sassoun district: Sir
Philip Currie sent Consul Hallwards re-
port on the incidents at Sassoun to the
Porte in order to indicate the serious ma
ture of the events. The porte instead of
accepting this in a friendly manner.
brusqueiy denied the facts, asserting that
Consul Hallward's report is untrue. 1t
was insinuated, or stated outright. that
he had encouraged the Armenians to re-
volt. This was, Of course, ludicrous and
absurd.
Sir Philip Curre at once informed the
foreign minister that he should take steps
to verify his assertions. His energy par
alyzed the porte, who on Saturday with
drew the allegations against Consul Hall
ward. The sultan ordered a commission
of three military men and civilian to
make an immediate inquiry. From many
sources confirmation of former reports of
the massacre have been received. The ut
most endeavors have been made to pre-
vent the facts from becoming known A
number of Armenians who fed toward
Ireblzonde have been ordered to return -
