outnumbered by the rioters, whose ranks
were quickly swellsd, not only by
genuine working men, but by hordes 1

police at first attempted TIC get the mob
to disperse by use of mild means. These
proving unavailing Sabres were drawn

The rioters, some of whom were armed
with reyolvers, while others had clubs
and stones as weapons made a desperate
resistance, which the police were unabls
to overcome.
Eventually reinforements hurried to
the scene and finally the rioters were dis.
persed with great difficulty. Later crowds
of working men gathered in Sancti

threatened vengeance on the police The

District Attorney Hoar stated that the
government would like to argue the mo-
tlon for a new trial, claiming that no
new evidence had been secured at New
York. 1t was nothing more than cumu-

that the defence could not have learned

Then there was a bill of exceptions
which had to he considered. Judge Colt
asked the defence whether they would
be willing to take up motion for new
trial at once OF tomorrow afternoon. Be-
fore the answer was made, counsel on
both sides came to an understanding and
the motion for arrest of Judgment was
withdrawn. Mr.. Cotter said that he
would be willing to tske up the matter
of new motion at $50 tomorrow. This
was decided upon.

ARE LARGELY GUESsEs.
WAYS and Means Committee Have

In Regard to the New Tariff Bil1-State-
rnents as to the Different Schedules
arc Without Authority.

are without Authority.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1
Washington, February 9-At the
present time many reports are sent out
from " ashington as to those portions of
the new tariff bill, which are made up.
None Of these reports aro at all accurate.
The Republican members of the ways
and means committee ara making mp the
bill together, and it's provisions are kept
entirely secret The reason for this Is
obvious The committee have invited all
who have information to present it, and
this has been done. From this informa-
ton they have the hill to make up. To
give ont portions of the bill before 1t is
ready to be approved as a whole Is to in
vite special interests to besiegs the COM
mittee room and bring pressure upon
mem hers. This difficulty was experienced
of the Mckinley and Wilson bills. Of
course no ones rights are violated by this
action of the committee, for the bill
must be debated in both House and SEN
ate, and any errors in it can then be cor
rected But of course special interests
would rather get the bill framed to their
liking before it is reported. This they
will not be permitted to do.
SO far only this much can be said Of
the bill. 1t will bs a logical, defect-proof
bill, which the under valuers and others
who have got ahead Of Uncle Sans cas-
tnm house in the past, will be unable to
beat. These characteristics may make a
howl from some concerns which have had
improper advantages; but will be greatly
to the advantage, both of the public
revenues and Of honest importers every
where.
There is also no doubt that Mr.. Ding
ley's hand will be seen very largely in
the bill, and that he will be more familiar
with its details than has any chairman
of the ways and means with similar
bill for many years.
