MCKINLEY ON PROTECTION.
He Gives the Reasons for His Relief
In a High Tariff.

He Gives the Reasons for His Relief
I'm a High Tariff.
In his address to delegation from west
ern New York yesterday at Canton, Ohio.
Major Mckinley spoke as follows on a pro-
tective tariff:
81 am a protectionist because I believe
the protective system Is best adapted to our
conditions and citizenship. 1t does every
thing that a revenue tariff does. and vastly
more. 1t supplies needed revenue. A reve-
nue. tariff can do no more, and the present
tariff has not done that much. 1t accom-
plishes this end with equal. IL not greater.
certainty than a revenue tariff, and while
doing that it wisely discriminates in favor
of American interests. and is ever mindful
of the American people
1T protects our own products against
those of the alien and the stranger. while
rhe domestic consumer is secured reason
able prices through domestic competition
1t diversifies the occupations and multplies
the opportunities of our people; secures an
unrivaied home market for agriculture and
rnequalcd wages for labor. 1t opposes
trusts and combinations to control the mar
kets and prices to the injury Of the people,
been the parent OF trusts, and insists that
competition with the old world shall be on
equal conditions. made SO by the tariff.
If Europe will pay her labor as we pay
kets and contend without fear for SD
rremacy. Let her Eft her conditions up.
We viii not pull our down. Protection en-
courages skill and genius to the highest &C.
tivity. and under its operations we reached
the foremost rank in mechanism and in
vention and the widest individual and ma
tional prosperity. Protection favors the
United States and the nag Of the United
States. 1t favors the people Of the United
States and 70 the true friend Of every Amer
ican girl ard boy struggling upward. 1t

but never closes. American workshops.

gard to the whole tax assessed against the

pany does not desire 10 pay the tax on
them as the land referred to. was decided
TO tho railroad company by the city with
the agreement that the railroad COM
pany should not pay any tax until certain
conditions were complied with by the
city which have not yet been complied

tions Of the land subject TO the agree
ment referred TO between the road and

OLNEYVlLLE.
A Slick Smoker Who Passed a
Bogus Half Dollar.
Bicycle Spotter Comes 10 Grief on Broad
way--The Firemen Meet.

A slick-appearing fellow, about 30 years
OF age, passed spurious 80 cent piece on
the proprietor of an Olneyville drug store
yesterday afternoon. He purchased
cigar for a nickle, received his
change and departed, when the drng-
gist discovered he had beea imposed
upon. None of the clers were In at the
timesor he would have gone after the fell
low since he is inclined TO believe he
would know him IL he should see him
again. He could not have gone more than
a block when tae druggist discovered the
coin was worthless.
A BICYCLE sPoTTER TOOK A TUMBLE.
The bi yclists on Broadway last even ing
observed a somewhat heavy weight rider
who apparently did not care to form the
acquaintance of others on the thorough
fare. He made very fast time as he went
up and down the street and someone sug-
gested that he might get taken into camp
for "scorching.n While he was fest
rider, IL tho way was clear, he had not
. attained that degree OF proficiency to on
able him to avoid collisions, and other
wheelmen were Obliged TO give way to the
newcomer. Matters went smoothly until
a crash was heard and a number of
wheelmen were in heap together
along with the heavy rider. In the
scramble to recover themselves the coat
of the stranger was blown aside and the
badge of police officer was noticeab bic.
He was spotter-the handle bars OF
the officers wheel were twisted some hat
by the collision OF wheels, but not so
much rs 10 prevent his making a hasty
retreat.

longing TO the company being loaned
from the fire station and never returned.
1t was stated that a coffee can OF consid
erable value had been missing nearly a
year form the kitchen of the firemen.
1t was voted that hereafter the foreman
be given control OF the property OF the

WOOLEN MILL BURNED.
Nasonville's Main Industry. Swept Away
by Fire Last Evening.

A calamity befell the little village of
Nasonville, in Burrillvile, last evening,
when its single industry the four-set
woolen mill was destroyed by fire and
more than hundred operatives were be-
reit OF earning livelihood for the time
being.
The mill was owned by Hoiace Kim ball
of this city and IL was leased and occu.
pied py Joshua A. Perkins of Pascoag.
Mr. Kimball's loss Is estimated at more
than $50, 900 ana Mr.. Perkins suffered. to
the extent of nearly $780, 900. Both were
insured for about half the value of the
property destroyed.
The mill was 200 by 36 feet, three
stories high and built OF wood. There
was also large addition, 100X36 feet, one
story high. The mill has been running
five days week, manufacturing woolens,
worsteds and closkings.
No one knows how the fire started. IL
first appeared in tho center OF the mill
and spread with great rapidity. IL was
discoveries at 9:21 o'clock and at IL
o'clock only the foundation, Uttered
with red hot debris marked the site of
Nasonville's chief industry.
There was no water supply, and the
villagers were powerless to prevent the
destruction. All they could do was TO stand
and see the fire sweep away their surety
OF daily bread. Mr.. Perkins chief loss
Is on recent consignment OF wool val
ued at go, 900.

MISS WILLIAMS FLIGHT
No Tidings Of the Runaway Girl Have
Been Received.
Some New Points About Her Which
May Assist in Locating Her.

The strange case of Miss Maude g.
Williams, the young society girl OF Ston-
ington, Conn, who disappeared from DIR.
Mary l.. Moss Mathews residence, 23l
broadway, on April z, bids fair TO equal
the sensational stories of the yellow back
ed novels. This powerful machinery of
the police and detective forces, aided by
the public press, combination which
have solved many mysteries, have worked
on this case I'm vain. As yet no tfdmgs
OF the missing girl have been received,
and as result her mother, Mrs. Ephraim
Williams, has broken down under the
incessant strain and worry, and is report
ed TO be seriously Ill in this city. Every
availa bic means is being useeto facilitate
the search and IL Is now proposed to i'm
sert the following personsl nolice in vari-
Gus papers throughout the country in the
hope that 1t may be seen blythe runaway
girl:
"Maud-Come home 1t once. Your
mother is lii. You will be lovingly re-
ceived. "a
(Signed) ~ "FATHERn
Since yesterday The News has succeed
ed in learning more OF Miss Williams
chsracteristics which may add another
clue to the number already being ardu-
ously worked Miss Williams, II appears,
mas for a number of years been what
might be termed unevenly balanced: !:
that is TO say affected by a light form of
insanity. This insanity is only natural
sequence. 1t is heredity in the family,
as one of the uncles at the present time
is confined in the Butler Hospital for the
insane, while still another committed
suicide sometime ago for no apparent rea-
son. st
Ii has always been Miss Williams ambi-
ton to earn her own living and on several
occasions she has been heard TO say that
she would take position as domestic
until something better was offered her.
Again, 1t is claimed that she has inquired
into the pay reeiyed by srtits' models an d
the exact nature OF the work required in
this line. She has often asserted that
she would leave honie To earn her own
living and that she would not commune
cste with her folk until she was holding
a position of which she could be proud
Miss Williams is girl easily influenced
and there is possibility that she might
be found either in ths artist colony of
New York or ia that of Boston, as she
has taken quite q fancy to the art. or
course, II Is known thar she has also had
theatrical aspirations, but a thorough
search OF tine companies have proven
fruiiless and ii has been generally con-
ceded that she mas abandoned that way of
esfning a living
This afternoon it was learned that Miss
williams has run away before this, but
has never remained from home for any
such lengthy period.
Though ex-Probate Judge Ephriam vii
i,ams is not rich, still there Is about 20, :
900, 600 in the family, aud ii IL asserted
that all the necessary means will be fur
nisheu to facilitate tho solving OF the
mystery.
