The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator AL
drich returned to Washington to-day and
said nothing had occurred to change his
determination to call up the tariff bill on
May Is, the date which had been set by
him when he reported the bill. Speaking
of the claim of the Democrats that they
had not had sufficient time to examine the
comparative statement, he said that it had
been furnished them in time, he thought,
to answer every purpose
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, to-
day presented an amendment which he pro-
poses to offer to the tariff bill against goods
which are the product of convict labor. The
amendment follows: That whenever COM
plant is made to the secretary of the treas
ury that any manufactured goods imported
into this country are the product of prison
or convict labor it shall be the duty of the
secretary of the treasury to formulate the
necessary rules and regulations to prohibit
the further importation of such goods, eX-
cept upon the sworn statement of the for
eign manufacturer or his agent made be-
fore a consul of the United States that said
goods are not being produced by the labor
of prisoners or cOnVictS."

VERY MUCH ALIVE.
Supposed Dead Man AstOnishes "a
Corps of Physicians.


BOSTON, May 12.-Yesterday Frank Nc
Dermott, of 80 Weber street, was at work
on, a new building. A workman three sto-
ries above dropped a brick on his head.
The police ambulance hurried the lifeless
body to the City Hospital. Everybody
though he was dead and he was carried
directly to the morgue. A half dozen physi-
clans gathered around the body to make
an examination of the corpse, according to
the rules of the institution. They had just
pronounced him dead, after the regular
tests, when they were astounded to see the
corpse move and assume a sitting posture.
What's the ~trouble?" he asked, getting
up from the table and jumping about the
room. Examination by the physicians
showed that McDermott's skull had not
scalp wound, he was all right. After his
head had been dressed he went back to
work. 1t is considered a most remarkable
case, as the patient had apparently been
dead several hours.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, May 12.-This

building to tack up the colors, when the at
tack was made. Eggs were used as ammu-
milton and the fruit is plastered over the

Why Relations Between the vatican
and the Porte Were Discontinued
-ExcitabIe Italians.

LONDON, May 1S.-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Standard gives to-day the
history of the discontinuance of relations
between the Porte and the Vatican. He
says: Last summer the Pope. in an au-
tograph letter, begged the Sultan to pro-
tect the Christians in Crete. The Dapal DEL
egate, Mgr. Bonetti, obtained an audience
at the Yildiz Kiosk and formally presented
the letter. The Sultan, evidently irritated,
said in an undertone in Turkish: Whose
this Pope that's always meddling in the
affairs of our state?' and then aloud in
French: Tell his Holiness that it is my
constant care to attend to the welfare of all
my subjects
THE Pope, deeply offended at seeing his
plans for the Eastern churches upset in
this fashion, tried another letter last Oc-
tober. This had a better reception, but was
never answered and there has been no di-
rect communications between the Vatican
and the Porte since"

Britnin buying Argentine Horses.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Bureau Of
the American Republics has received relia-
BILE Information that in the latter part of
April a commission composed of fifteen
cavalry officers and six veterinary surgeons
left England for the city of Buenos Ayres
for the purpose of buying a large number
of horses in the Argentine Republic to be
used in the cavalry service of the English
army. The circumstance is regarded as
significant only in the fact of showing the
development in that part of the world. 1t
is the first time that any European country
has had recourse to the markets of South
America for such a purpose. Heretofore
the British army has been supplied with
horses from the United States and Canada,
and to a limited extent from the continent
of EurOpe.

Socialists C~riticise the Kaiser.

BERLIN, May Pin the Reichstag to-
day during the debate on a motion TO repeal
the clause of the penal code dealing with
lese majesty, Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, declared that the majority of the
prosecutions on the charge of lese ma
jesty were the work of informers and of
persons seeking private vengeance. He re-
minded the house of the various expressions
used by Emperor Williams, notably his
references in his Brandenberg speech of
February last to a pack of fellows" and
the words "men without patriotism" al
legged to have been used by his Majesty in
a dispatch to his brother, Prince Henry
of Prussia. Such utterances, Herr Bebel
asserted, were calculated to undermine the
good name of the German people. Herr
Bebel was called to order.
Herr L~iebknecht, Socialist, pointed out
how easily, under the present conditions, a
man might fall under the suspicion of lese
majesty if a monarch, poet or painter. -
The president called Herr Liebknecht to
order. requesting him to respect the de-
corum of the house.
Continuing, Herr L%iebknecht complained
that, although a latent crisis existed, the
members of the Reichstag were forbidden
to speak of it. After the Reichstag had re-
jected Herr Richter's motion to refer Herr
Auer's motion to a committee, the house
adjourned.
