ANTITRUST.
Three Amendments to be Offered to
the Senate Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Imme-
diately after Senator Pettigrew's anti
trust amendment to the tariff bill was
laid on the table to-day he gave notice
of another amendment of the same
character in the shape of a proviso as
follows:
THAT none of the increased rates of
duty provided for in this Act shall ap-
ply to any articles or commodities the
sale or manufacture of which is con-
trolled by trusts in this country
Senator Chiffon of Texas also Offer
ed an antitrust amendment as fol-
lows:
IF any manufacturer, dealer, coiner
or other person, knowing that any ar
ticle or articles of like character upon
which duties are levied under this Act
are manufactured or the sale con-
trolled, or their price affected, by a
trust or combination, shall send or
transmit any such articles from one
State to another, such manufacturer
dealer or coiner SHALL upon conviction
before any Circuit Court of the United
States, be punished by imprisonment
not more than three years.
Senator Pascoe gave notice of an
amendment which differs from Senator
Pettigrew's original amendment only
in detail, principally as to the means
of proceeding in court to determine the
existence of a trust One of the pro-
visions requires the court to determine
whether a trust proved to exist affects
the raw material or improved article.
In case the court finds an article to be
the subject of a trust, the Secretary Of
the Interior is to make an order di-
recting the customs officers to permit
such admission free of duty.

the Death of Harry Bell.

URBANA, June 15-Coroner Hewitt
rendered the following verdict late to-
night on the death of Harry Bell, who
was Killed when the first attack was
made on the County Jail on the night
before the lynching of Click Mitchell:
Il do find that the said deceased came
to his death from wound in the head
produced by a rifle ball fired by a mem
Der of Company D, Third Regiment,
Ohio National Guard, acting under or
ders from the Captain of said company,
and while attempting to defend the
county Jail of Champagne County and
prevent a crowd of people there as
sembled from doing violence to
prisoner, Charles Mitchell, Jr., confined
therein, charged and convicted of Grim
inal assault on the morning of June 4,
1897"
Il fail to find from the testimony of
the witnesses examined by me any fail
ure or neglect on the part of the Gov
ernor, Asa Bushnell, to promptly re-
spond to any request made to him by
the Sheriff, Lewis McLain, for troops
to assist him in defending said Jail or
protecting said prisoner, and I do not
find from the testimony so taken by me
any failure on the part of Sheriff Nc
Lain to use all means at his hands for
the protection of said Jail or to said
prisoner.
Il further find that G. H. Anderson
ordered the police force of the city to
do all in their power to preserve order,
and that he did not in any way try to
usurp the power of the Sheriff or in
any manner claim to represent him in
discharging his duty, but that he, as
the Mayor of the city, advised the
crowd there assembled not to attempt
any violence to the prisoner, Charles
Mitchell, Jr., and that his conduct on
that occasion was wholly directed to-
ward preventing violence being done
to the prisoner by the persons there as
sembled and any further killing of the
people by the militia
