Killed BY A FAILING DERRICK.
Two Men Lose Their Lives-A Third
Miraculousiy Saved.


Atlanta, Ga, June 2S.-A derrick on
the roof of a new building fell to-day,
knocking three workmen from the ninth
story. Two of them were killed and the
third was saved In miraculous way.
The killed are: Palmetto Ayres and
Charles Cargill both colored.
William Brown, white, carpenter, was
cut about the head and arms.
The men were standing on a platform
which skirted the edge of the floor.
When the derrick fell that part Of the
scaffolding upon which they stood was
split away. Brown grasped one of the
derrick ropes as he shot through the air.
AS the boom Of the hosting engine fell
the ropes were put in motion. one going
up and the other going down. Brown
fortunately caught the rope being
drawn upward and he was hauled safe
ly to the roof To another boom Of the
derrick projecting on the other side of
the building was attached a car in
which four men were standing. This
boom likewise fell, but was held up by
the roof. The car was dashed over the
side of the building and swung there
in safety. The men were showed
through a window, none of them being
injured.

PROGRESS ON TIE TARIFF.
A 20 Per Cent. Ad valore,u Duty ON Hides
-Debate on Trusts.

-DeDafe on trusts.
Washington,J June 2S.-Progress on the
tariff to-day consisted in disposing of
the paragraphs relating to hides which
have been the source Of much contro-
versy. AS finally agreed on, the duty
on hides is placed at 20 per cent. ad
valorem, in place of 11s cents per pound,
as originally reported by the finance
committee. The discussion was pro-
tracted, drifting into a general debate
on trusts and from that back to the
sugar trust. Mr.. Smith Of New Jersey
spoke at length against the duty on
hides, while Mr. Allen Of Nebraska sup
ported the duty. The new paragraph
was agreed to, 80 to 20, one democrat,
RaWlins of Utah, and several populists
and silver republicans voting with the
republicans in the affirmative.
The incidental debate on trusts led
to severe arraignment Of trusts by
Messrs. Caffery and Lindsay and a
discussion of means to deal with trusts
by Mr.. Hoar. Among other paragraphs
disposed of during the day We're all
those relating to gloves, a substitute
for the paragraph on live animals, iron
ore and stained glass window.

At work ON NORWAY NIPPLES.
Lice Which Threatened the Destruction oi
These Trees In the City.

Recently a peculiar appearance has
been noted in the leaves Of the Nor
way naples, which are growing in con-
siderable numbers in various parts of
the city. The upper part Of the leaves
are noticed to have taken on a sort of
vanished appearance and gentleman
who has made a study of horticulture
and entomology in speaking of the
matter last evening, said that this ap-
pearance was caused by tree lice which
bore into the laves, thereby causing a
sap to flow. This sap frequently drops
to the sidewalk and there congeals and
looks like hardened pitch, while running
over the upper surface of the leaves it
gives them an appearance as If var
nished. The gentleman mentioned said
that the lice could be found on the un-
der side of the leaves near the ribs He
also that he believed the larvae of the
lady bugs, which feed upon these lice
had done much to prevent their doing
serious injury to the Norway naples.
The gentleman stated that owing to
the wet spring the lice have been more
plentiful this season than ever before.
He said that early in the season the
lice appeared on plum trees about the
city, but were chased off by the lady
bug larvae and as a consequence the
plum crop in New Haven this season
will probably be larger than for many
years.

Brought to Bay by Posse.
Deadwood, S. D.. June 2S.-Four
masked men to-day entered the Butte
County bank at Bellforce with revol-
vers drawn and ordered the customers
present and bank officials to hold up
their hands. A little hesitation on the
part of Cashier Marble drew a shot
from one of the robbers which clipped
large portion of the cashiers right
ear and forced compliance with the de-
mand. The safe and counters were re-
lieved of the cash they contained and
the robbers, mounting their horses af-
ter firing at a merchant who gave the
alarm, rode away.
mounted posse was soon in pursuit
of the robbers. A few miles from town
the posse came up with the fugitives
and a running fight ensued which re-
suited in one of the robbers, Thomas
Day, surrendering. Walter Gay was
shot through the cheek, receiving a
painful wound. The rest of the gang
are now at bay few miles from Bell
force where they will likely be cap
tured or be killed. Less than SIS was
secured. the cashier having locked the
doors of the vault at the entrance of
the robbers.

HAVE CLOSED OUR DOORS
SOUTH AMERICAN DELEGATES DE-
N0UNCE DUTY ON WOOL AND HIDES.
A Leading Representative of Argentina
Says That While We Seek More Exten-
sive Commercial Intercourse With South
American Republics We Impose Restrio-
tion Which Prevent the Plan.

Cincinnati, June 2S.-The most sug-
American commercial men thus far
was the tariff expression made to-day
by Carlos Lix Klett of the Argentine
Republic, editor of the most prominent
newspaper in his country and spe-
cialist in wool, hides and skins. The
place where he voiced his views was
the chamber Of commerce. He said, in
part:
THE United States have had bet-
ter opportunity to extend their COM
mercial relations than the one offered
by the Philadelphia museum. I am
perfectly sure that all Of the delegates
are inspired with the best wishes in
regard to the closer relations with the
United States, and should feel very
glad if the Argentine Republic should
find herself in the same position; but,
unfortunately, our visit to the United
States and our good will are put aside
by the tariff bill. The two principal
products that we export to the United
States are wool and hides.
1--WE have over one million sheep.
which produce every year about $780,
100000 kilos of wool, and this article
has always been imported into the
United States free Of duty. the same
as we import Of duty your machinery
and your petroleum. But now the new
tariff bill has imposed prohibitive tax
upon our wool. We have been export
ing to your country our hides during
the past twenty-five years free Of duty.
but now you have taxed them with 11a
cents per pound. You may consider
how much this duty will affect our
trade. We have been treated in an
unfriendly manner, and at the same
time you submit to us this idea OF a,
| reciprocity treaty. I am sorry to say
that under the circumstances the
statesmen Of the Argentine Republic
will not accept any treaty Of this kind.
I'VE receive from Europe all the
goods we require and all the immigra-
| tion necessary to populate our extend-
| ed country. AS we find no compensa-
tion nor any reason to tie to the United
States, under the present circumstances
| we think that, taking into considera-
| tion the protectionist doctrine Of this
country, we have nothing but to use
! the same principle in our own defence
and put prohibitive duties upon all
American duties
1--WE regret very much to take such
action, but we will be compelled to do
so, and it is convenient to note that
| Europe is trying by all means to hold
the Latin-American markets and is
sending representatives to all Of the
republics to study the resources, the
commerce and financial state of each.
think am right when I call your at
tention to the opportunity that is offer
ed to you to control the markets Of
Latin-America which offers a most ex-
tensive field for the consumption Of
your manufactured products. All you
have to do is to put to one side the OBJ
stacles that have noted, so that the
way will be completely open, and the
commercial relations with the country
of Washington can be easily extended
