An Added Duty on Beet Sugar VIII Be
Asked Of Congress.
Chicago, March 26.--Congress will
in all probability be called on at an
early date by committee representing
the sugar-beet growers Of the country,
and asked to give some measure Of pro-
lection and encouragement to this new
and profitable industry. Nothing would
suit the Western farmers who have all
ready engaged in this form Of agricul-
ture better than the creation of tariff,
II not less than n cents pound on
all sugars and reciprocal policy with
other sugar producing countries.
This is the opinion OF @. II. Dietrich,
president OF the National bank Of Hast
ings, Neb., who is here and is one OF
the most enthusiastic promoters Of the
sugar beet industry. Mr.. Dietrich
points to the fact that more than one
half Of the worlds sugar crop is now
being produced from beets as an indica-
tion Of the tremendous size OF the in
dustry and the right that it has TO de-
mand consideration from the govern
ment. He notes that there is not a
single sugar-producing country in the
world that has not been aided by its
government in development of the
sugar beet industry. The countries
which have made special advancement
in this line are Germany, Belgium,
Austria, France, New Iceland, Denmark
and Argentina.

Chicago, March 29.-The Chicago &

tees of withdrawal today from all the

they have heretofore been conducted,
on which to stand. All that now re-

their energies toward securing legisla-
tion that will open some way for them
to conserve their interests and prevent
their revenue from being dissipated
None of the associations attempted to
do anything today. No circulars were
issued by any one of them, and no at

MURDER AND ARSON.


DiabOlicat Crime OF Some Unknown
Tennessee Fiend.
Nashville, March 26.--Last night, on
Paradise ridge, this county, where there
is quite a settlement of thrifty Ger
mans, the house of Jacob AIDE was dis
covered on fire and was in ruins before
help could reach the place. In the
ruins were found the almost consumed
bodies of Jacob AIDE, his wife, Lizzie,
aged 20; Henry AIDE, aged 10, and Rosa
Moier, aged 10 years.
All day crowd has been at the scene
of the tragedy, neighbors, people from
this city and officers of the law, all in
vestigating and surmising. but tonight
it is uncertain whether the family were
accidentally burned to death or whether
they were murdered.
The murder theory is most generally
believed. 1t is based by some on rob-
berry, as AIDE was known to keep money
on hand and to have had several hun
dred dollars in the house. But if rob-
berry was the motive, the robbers
failed, for in the ruins today was found
a tin can containing the remains of a
large roll Of bills. There is no evil
dence to show that AIDE had any ene-
mics.

In the Senate.

Washington, March 26.--The senate
session lasted only half an hour today,
and no business was done beyond the
introduction OF bills. Among these
was one by Allen to repeal the civil
service laws and to do away with edu-
cational tests as preliminary to enter
ing the public service.
Hoar presented a bill prohibiting
vitascope and kindred exhibitions Of
prizefghts in the District of Columbia
and the territories, and forbidding the
shipment of pictures for these exhibits
by mail or through any interstate
means. The bill is aimed against vita
scope exhibitions Of the recent Carson
fight, although general in its nature.
Aliens bill proposes to repeal the
civil service law and all supplementary
acts, also the annual executive orders
based on these laws. The bill further
directs the head Of every government
department TO establish rules relative
to appointment with reference to the
special fitness of applicants for the serv-
ices requirements, and not with refer
ence to educational standards. 1t is
expressly provided that lack of uni
versity, college or academic education
shall in no case disqualify the applicant.
The bill expresses the purpose of restor-
ing to all United States citizens equal
rights to appointment.
The first OF the appropriation bills

lom of Illinois, who gave notice that he
would ask the senate to take it up at
an early day.

The Routine Report.

Washington, March 27.-This was
the last day Of the general debate on
the tariff bill in the house. Talbert,
Democrat, of South Carolina, in the
presence Of scant audience, opened
the debate. The house rapidly filled.
Talbert talked great deal about robber
barons.
Champ Clark, Democrat, of Missouri,
followed. He said as a Democratic
politician he rejoiced in the passage OF
the pending bill, because after it had
become law every storekeeper would
be obliged to make Democratic speech
every time he made sale. The pass
age of this bill, he said, would give the
Democrats hundred majority in the
next congressional election.
After brief remarks by Mcguire, Dem
ocrat, of California, and Gum, Popu-
list, Of Idaho, Tawney, Republican, OF
Minnesota, member of the ways and
means committee, took the floor for
twenty minutes. Tawney defended the
lead schedule, which had been attacked
by Gum. The latter said he had no
criticism to make of the rates. He
only asked that they be collected.
Tawney asserted the classification of
this schedule was such that the duties
could not be evaded The purpose of
the trainers of the schedule was to give
American labor employment in smelt-
ing Mexican and Canadian ores. and at
the same time fully protect the Ameri-
can lead miner.
Simpson, Populist, of Kansas, enter
tanned the house for five minutes. He
read from McKinley's speech at the
Minneapolis convention a declaration
that the foreigner paid the tax, which
he ridiculed. The last congress, he
said increased the appropriation $780,
900, 900, and now, according to Nc
Kinley's theory, taxes on foreigners
were to be increased to pay for extrava-
gance. The foreigner should be glad,
he said that the last congress had not
been two-billion-dollar congress. If
the taxes of the foreigner could be suffi-
ciently increased, he observed sarcastic
ally, the surplus could be distributed
among our people and every day would
be Sunday here. (Laughter.)
Simpson said he was himself a farmer
who farmed farms, not farmers If the
Republicans had desired to do some
thing practical for the farmers, why,
he asked, had they left hides on the
free listI Simpson announced himself
a free-trader
Cox and McRae of Arkansas followed.
The latter ridiculed the idea that pros
perity had existed under the Mckinley
law, or would exist under the Dingley
bill, If it became law.
Grow, the venerable ex-speaker, made
general speech in favor of the theory
Of protection. The latest Democratic
cry of more money and less taxes, he
said, was preposterous.
Dalzell reviewed the results Of the
Wilson and Mckinley laws and de-
nounced the ad valorem system as Civ
ing opportunity for immense underval-
uation.

Discussed in Five-Minute Speeches
The New Senator From Florida.
Washington, March 27.-The four
days general deabte in the house on the
Dingley tariff bill closed tonight. The
bill will now be open for debate under
the five-minute rule for five days, when
the vote will be taken.
Bailey, the opposition leader, who
was TO have closed the general debate
for his side today, was unable to make
his speech, owing to sore throat, and
a mutual arrangement was made for an
hours debate on each side just before
the final vote is taken.
The speech-making today was not OF
very lively order, but the crowds in
the galleries continued.
Five members Of the ways and means
committee spoke today-Tawney, Dali
zell, Russell, Payne and Stone. The
other speakers at the session were Tai
bert, Clark, Mcguire, Gum, Cox, Nc
Rae, Grow, Simpson, Curtis, Burke,
Lentz, Colson, Hawley, De Almond and

Washington, March 28.--The third
day Of the tariff debate in the house
was almost as dull as the first two.
There were two notable speeches, one
by Grosvenor and the other by McMil-
lin, but the rest Of the speeches, with
the possible exception Of Walkers,
hardly created ripple in the monoton-
GUS sea Of speechmaking.
Grosvenor and McMillin were dis
tinctively the orators Of the day. The
other speakers at the day session were
Fox, Simms, Williams, Terry, Sayers,
johnson, Evans, Maddox and Adams.
