REPORT NOT YET FINISHED.
Democratic View of the Tariff Bill
Slightly DELAYED.

The Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee had not this IN orn-
ing finished a report on the Dingley tariff
bill They expected to have the statement
of the duties in the present law as COM
pared with those proposed by last Satur-
day morning but it was not at hand. The
task of showing facts in a different light
from that thrown upon the measure by the
Republicans, in their report through Chair
man Dfngiey, is very laborious without
the aid OF this comparison. As it was not
ready until nearly noon today, Mr.. Bailey
had not prepared the discussion OF the
bill from a Democratic standpoint when
Congress convened.
Another drawback to a properconsidera-
ton of the subject by the Democrats has
been the serious illness of Mrs Benton Nc
Millin, which has prevented her husband
from doing more than attend the most i'm
perative conferences. She has had a very
severe case of tonsilitis, which i s today
much less painful.
1t is understood that Mr. Bailey has COM
pieted the first draft of a report, and it
only awaits consultation with his associ-
ates to make it public.
MessrS. McMillin, Swanson, McLauTin and
Gen. Wheeler were on the floor during the
morning, and there Is little doubt that the
report will be made public within twenty
four hours.

DUPED BY A PRETTY WOMAN
Several Citizens Gave Up Money to
Miss De Lord.
Represented Herself as Daughter of
Thirty-third Degree Mason and
Asked subscriptions for Book.

Detectives Carter and Gallaher are
searching today for fashicnahly clad
and fluent young woman, known as Miss
De Lord, who is alleged to have swim
died a number OF Washington Masons of
high degree by pretending to sell them
copies OF Murat Halstead's book on Cuba.
To make business MOI brisk it is furth II
alleged that the young woamn has been
falsely representing herself as niece
of Gen. Thomas ShTyock, wealthy Bal
tinorean and thirty-third degree Mason.
She also represented that her father in
Texas, an aged man, is member Of the
same degree, and as his plantation is mort
gagged for SIS 900, she, as dutiful daugh-
ter, has started out in the world to earn
enough money by selling the books To raise
the incumbrance from the old homestead.
Miss DE Lord charges $3.50 for the
volume, and it is alleged that she has col
lected the amount without delivering the
work.
MIR. Fred Weber, of the Scottish Rite
Sanctuary. has failed to find Mr.. De Lord s
name on the registry of thirty-second de-
gree Masons. Tie list is q complete one,
and were he q member of that degree his
name would be there.
Among those W whopaid for book is Ma jor
Allison Major. The detectives have been
searching for Miss De Lord since Saturday,
hutcannot locate her.
Gen. shryock has requested the police
to apprehend the young woman, who,
he says, is In no manner related to him.
Miss De Lord is said to be young
pretty and talented, and does not have
much difficulty in coaxing persons OF the
male persuasion to subscribe for "Cuba. "

DIGGS HELD FOR The CRIME
Rose LOwe's Brother Believed to
Have Killed Her Slayer.
stoutly Asserts His Innocence, But
Circumstances Point TO His Guilt.
BIudgeon Covered With Blood.

Lying on a country road, n ear the little
settlement known as walkers Chapel,
on the Virginia shore, opposite George
town the body of Rose Lowe, colored, was
found late Saturday night. The head had
been nearly severed from the body by the
stroke Of a razor She had been Murdered
and near her body was found the body of
her alleged murderer, Jesse jackson, also
colored, who had been the woman's para
mour There was a CHASTITY wound in LIS
throat, and his head had been beaten almost
to a pulp 1t was evident that after kill
ing Mrs. Lowe, jackson had been attacked
and murdered by a third party.
Arthur Diggs, or Parker, a youth barely
above the legal age, and a brother of tie
dead woman, is in jail at Alexandria,
charged with the muder Of jackson. He
stoutly denies his guilt, but after an in
quest Squire Birch ordered him held,
pending further investigation
- Mrs. Lowe was the wife OF Charles Lowe,
anempIoye of the Great Falls Railway Com
pany, and left her husband about year
ago, and with her three children and her
brother. Arthur DiGgs. took up her resi-
denca with Jackson III a shanty near the
scene of the crimes. The couple were re
90 ne hard drinkers and had frequent
and violent quarrels. Saturday Jackson
and Mrs Lowe came to Washington where
they imhibed heavily and In the afternoon
started home in a quarrelScme mood.
jackson arrived first, hut left the house
during the evening taking with him a
razor With this he lay in wait near a
small bridge for Mrs Lowe, wnOcame along
about 8 O'Clock in a wagon driven by
two hovs. Edward and Frank Carter
Jackson ordered the woman to get out
and at once began a violent quarrel. The
Carter toys drove rapidly to the shanty
and informed Arthur Diggs that Jackson
was heating Rose As they left the scene
they heard the woman scream and saw
jackson seize her.
Leaving the house, the Carter boys pro-
ceeded quarter OF mile further down
the road and reused a Mr.. Dodson, who
went back to the shanty with them. Ar
thur Diggs was there. He appeared 60 be
asleep but had had sufficient time since
he was first called 10 have gone down the
road To where the bodies lay, and it is
largely owing To this fact that suspicion
rests against him as the murderer OF Jack
son. This, together with the finding Of a
bludgeon covered with blood in the house,
forms the principal evidence ON which
DigGs is held He is very cool, stoutly de-
nies the crime, and says he can completely
vindicate himself when the time comes.
Diggs has retained w. II. Sadler, a colored
lawyer. of Alex xandria, TO defend him. Diggs
Formerly lived in Market Space George
town, and attended the public schools
He was at one time in the employ of James
Cation, a marketman.
Mrs. Lowe was about twenty-nine years
of age and jackson thirty-five.
No suspicion attaches 80 Lowe, the dead
woman's husband.

STILL ANOTHER CANDIDATE
Major Jerome Burke'S Friends Push
Him for Commissioner.
Delegation Calls on the President in
His Interest-An Early Nomina-
ton Is Not Looked For.

The District Commi ssionership was again
brought to the attention of the President
today when Col. ]. a. Devices, R. J. Bell
and A. s. Tabor, committee of the Union
Veteran Patriotic Legion, called to urge
the appointment of Major Jerome B. Burke
for the place.
Major Burke was formerly commander OF
the Grand Army for this District, and also
held the position as warden of the Dis
trict Jail.
President Mckinley told the committee
that he would consider Major Burke 8
claims for the office. Mr.. Mckinley gave
no intimation, however, whenhe would take
ND the matter of the District Commits
sionership, and the general impression is
that it win be some time before DCmi-
nation is sent to the Senate.
Sanator Gailinger, who called at the
White House on Saturday, is said to be
working to secure the denomination Of
Commit ssioner John W. Ross; but il is not
thought that the President will again select
Mr. Ross to fill the office. Gen. Ordway
was another District man who saw Mr..
Mckinley today, but declined to state who
he favored for the office

PENALTY ENVELOPES REFUSED.
Ministers Must Use Regular Stamps
in Mailing Mar riage Returns.

Mr.. John r. Young, clerk of the courts,
has lately been the recipient of several re-
quests from ministers who want to be
furnished penalty envelopes, addressed
to the clerk, in which they may make re-
turns of marriages solemnized by them un-
der the new law.
The petitions have a bit Of humor in
them, though every one has been made in
all seriousness. Probably no clergyman
inthe District perform sover fifty or seventy
five marriage ceremonies in year, so it
can be seen that his expenses in making
returns at one stamp per each return viii
not exceed 81. so annually.
Mr. Young addressed Postmaster General
Gary on the subject and today received a
reply from First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Perry s. Heath. After calling at
tentiop to the subject matter. the letter
stated:
'T have to reply that the penalty en-
velope cannot be used for the purpose
above referred to, and all requests made
of you for penalty Envelopes should be de-
clined''

side
He asked how, as an agricultural nation,
producing great surplus of corn. cotton,
wheat, etc, this country could get along
without the opening OF the foreign mar
ket. This argument had been presented
wheHGhe McKinleybil was under discussion,
but there was no answer except to say that
the foreign market is myth.
The facts disproved this, and the falsity
OF the position was admitted by the reci-
procity movement, reaching out for this
very foreign market. He read a eompara-
tive Statement showing how our foreign
markets have grown, and that, toe, with
out the slightest protection.
He pointed out that the United States
produces 80 per cent of the worlds coal,
33 per cent of it's pig-iron, and 40 per
cent OF its steel. He said Birmingham,
Ala, had shipped to England last year
10000 tons OF pig-iron.

He then turned to cottonseed oil and told
how, against his protest, a tariff had been
put on tie oil to protectit. AS he prophe-
sled. the result had been injurious TO this
young industry.

contrary TO Republican prophecies, had
failed entirely to cut down our manufact-
statistics at length in proof Of his ass2r-
tions.

Wheeler fell into half conversational
