strange Sect In Bahia-Queer story

Brazil is having trouble with a mes
siah who has appeared in the state of
Bahia, attended by band of 5000
fanatic adherents, armed with Winches-
ter rifles and proclaiming holy war
for the reestablishment Of religion and
OF the monarchy. He asserts that he is

INDUCES in ccstatic visions, during
which he declares that he receives his
inspiration from God.
The mans name is Antonio Consel-
heiro. He comes from the town Of
Aracaty, in the province of Ceara, where
he had good deal of property and lived
comfortably till terrible domestic
tragedy befell aim. His mother and his
wife were unable to agree, and, in order
to put an end to their constant squab-
bles, he had decided to move out of town
with his wife. His mother then told
him that the reason for her hatred of
her daughter-in-law was that she was
betraying him and that she would prove
the truth of her statement to him. He
gave out that he was going Off on jour-
ney, hid in ambush, and at nightfall saw
n man in the darkness approaching his
house. Conselheiro crept up to him
aud stretched him out dead with one
blow of his knife. Then he examined

and to his horror discovered that lie had
slain his mother. To insure the sue
cess of her infamous plot against her
daughter-in-law, she had put on mems
clothes and acted the part of the
fictitious lover.
Conselheiro, out of his mind with
despair and horror at his act, fed, and
was not heard from again until his ex-
PLOTS in Bahia became known. His re-
morse had driven him into mysticism
and fanaticism, and he found ii easy to

The region where they have collected is
in the mountains on the borders of the
desert interior. At first they were left
alone, but after they had established
their authority in a number of villages,
troops were sent against them by the
government. A battle was fought in
which Conselheiro lost $50 men killed,
but the government losses were equally
large. Recently, according to Le
Figaro, the fanatics were threatening
the town Of Joazeiro, on the San Fran
cisco river, and troops were hurrying
there from Alogoas, on the coast. Con-

The Republican senators at the
close of the tariff debate proposed an
amendment paying a quarter OF a
cent a pound bounty for the term OF
five years on beet sugar produced in
the United States and would have
promptly passed it but for the an
nouncement of Chairman Jones of
the Democratic National committee
that the proposition would be met
with a prolonged and indefinite dis
cussion which would greatly delay
and perhaps endanger the final pas
sage Of the tariff bill. The sugar
trust is greatly opposed to the en-
enlargement of ~beet-sugar produc-
ton in the United States, and 1t will
be remembered that Senator Jones is
one of the men who framed the pres
ent low-tariff law in "a way to make
the sugar trust the most powerful
and successful organization in the
United States to-day.

The coal miners strike has brought
to the public attention some facts al
to the effect of the Wilson tariff law
upon this industry. The Wilson law,
it will be remembered, reduced the
rates of duty on coal 35 cents per
ton, it having been 75 cents per ton
under the Mckinley law and reduced
to 40 cents per ton under the Wilson
law. Curiously President Ratchford
of the United Mine Workers AssOcia-
ton states that the wages of miners
have been reduced about So cents per
ton since 1898. the very year in which
the acknowledgements met and began
framing the Wilson act, which re-
duced duties 35 cents per ton.
The moment the Wilson law passed,
coal from the Nova Scotia mines
began invading the markets on the
Atlantic coast, especially New Eng
land, and drove out of those markets
the West Virginia coal, which had
always found an outlet at fair prices.
This West Virginia coal was thus
compelled to see a market it the
west in competition with the Goals
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Ken
lucky. The result was a sharp COM
petition, a fall in prices, a ruinOus
rate war, o only between mine
owners, but also between the rail.
roads, and as a consequence a reduc-
ton in the wages of miners. Thus
the very low wages Of the coal
miners of the country who are now
striking for al advance are directly
and logically traceable to to the ope-
rations of the Wilson law. The bill
which will become a law this week
restores Mckinley rates on coal and
after it gets into operation will, it is
hoped, result in improved conditions
and wages for miners as well as
others.

A monument to General Logan will

Passed by the House.

The conference report on the tariff
bill was made to the house Monday
and at midnight adopted by that
body by a vote of 1S5 to lis. The
bill was then ser to the senate and
is now under consideration, with
every probability that it will finally
pass this week and be signed by the
president. Montana products re-
ceived better treatment at the hands
of the conference than was generally
anticipated, the rates on wool as
finally settled upon being morefavor-
able to the grower than those
adopted by the house or senate. On
first-class woods the house rate was
ii cents per pound, this beng re-
duced by the senate to s cents, but
restored to ii by the conference. On
second-class woods h same proceed
ing was had, the house rate of L.
cents being adopted in place of the
rate of 9 cents adopted by the sen
ate. On woods of the third class,
both classification and duty has been
changed, in both instances favorable
to the grower. The senate amend.
ments were as follows: On wool oil
the third-class of value of ten cents
or less, four cents per pound; exceed
ing ten cents per pound, dutiable at
Z cents. The conference committee
amendments change the dividing line
from 10 to IL cents and fix the respect.
i've duties at four and eight cents.
While there may be some slight
change before the schedule is finally
approved by both houses, these rates
will probably hold. The duty on
hides is reduced from 20 to Is per
cent. ad valorem, a strong fight being
made to place them on the free list.
The senate rates on lead ore are re-
tanned.
