a Democrat as any man who wears shoe
leather" Mr.. Tillman concluded, ''and
as I understand, it means equality;
equality of burdens and equality of OPP
portunities."
Mr. Burrows, (Mich.), attempted to
bring the debate back to the fax ques-
ton, making 4 plea for good rate on
that article.
Mr.. Stewart made a general argument
in support Of the policy of duty on raw
material.
A number of amendments were offer
ed by Democrats to the different flax
paragraphs but they were all rejected
Mr. Allison, Qowa), presented a sub
stitute for paragraph 325 providing,
"single yarns made to jute, not finer
than five lea, / cent per pound and ten
per cent ad valorem; if finer than five
lea, / cent and 80 per cent ad valorem"
agreed to.
On thread and twine, Mr.. Allison NOV
ed to substitute the rate of IA cents per
pound and 7s cent for each lea above
five.
Before this was acted ON, Mr.. Morgan,
Dem., Ala.), offered a comprehensive
amendment for duty of ten per cent ad
valorem on all articles on the free list,
with certain stated exceptions. He
contended that all imports should bear
duty, if any of them, excepting a few
absolute requisites of life. His exam
! ination of the free list had shown him
unjustiiable bounties to favored inter
ests, hidden away in that list. Every
article on the free list operated to the
! benefit of the manufacturer using it, to
the expense of the producer of the raw
+. material. All of the enormous advan-
tages of the free list went to the manu-
F, facturer, who to this extent enjoyed
| free trade.
Mr. Chandler remarked that Mr. Nor
gan had now joined Mr.. Bacon, going
even to the point of taking not only cot
ton, but all articles from the free list.
Mr.. Jones (Arkansas) contended that
an ideal protective tariff, protecting all
alike, would be of no interest to any one,
as, if it benefited all alike, no one
would care for it. A protective tariff must
protect some classes more than others
to maintain popularity.
| Mr. Jones criticised the entire fax
schedule as designated to place heavy
burden on the poor, who used the low
grades of goods, and relieve the burdens
on the higher grades used by people of
wealth. He moved to reduce the rate on

The House rates on hacked and un-

Fto substitute $50 per ton for the commit
fee rate of II cent per pound. Agreed to.
Mr. Morgan turned his attention to II
legislative body that used to sit at the
national capitol, about 200 feet from us. "
The members of this body were men Of
leisure, meeting only twice a week. IN ac-
cordance with rule in defiance with the
constitution.
Mr.. Morgan called attention to the fact
that the pending bill failed to repeal the
income tax. It was remarkable omis-
sion, he said The Supreme court had set
aside the law and yet it was left on the
statute books, so that in time, with a
change in the court, the unrepealed law
could he sustained. Mr.. Morgan with
drew his amendment as to the FIRE list
with view of offering it when that
point was reached.
Without completing paragraph 327 the
bill was laid aside at > o'clock, and after
an executive session the Senate adj

NAMES STRICKEN FROM THE ROLL.
TWO PHYSICIANS WHO HAD BEEN
CONVICTED OF nURDER.
Finis to Story of One of the Saddest
Tragedies in the History of Great
Britain'S Medical Profession.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Wfth the action
to-day of the National Medical Council
IN striking from the roll of registered
practitioners the names of DrS. Tim
othy Jones and Henry Richards, Fin
Is was written to a story of one of the
saddest tragedies in the later history of
the medical profession of Great Britain
Briefly told, DIR. Jones has been for
years one of the Leading ply ysicians and
surgeons of Wales. He was a member
OF several learned societies. and medical
libraries have been enriched by numer-
Gus works Of research and Importance
bearing his seal of authorship. His
practice was ariStocratic and lucrative,
and he lived in magnificent style at
Swansea. DR.. Richards, his principal
assistant, was a young graduate of
great promise. a few months since DR..
Jones was approached by the head of a
wealthy family of which he was med
tcal adviser, and who implored him to
perform an Illegal operation upon a
beautiful young girl named Lily Chal-
lenger, forewoman of a millinery empo-
rum and with whom the doctors pat
ron had been ON intimate terms In an
evil hour DR.. Jones, notwiths tanding
his high reputation, consented. Then
followed an appalling series of TRACE
dies. The young woman died under the
surgeons knife and in his own office
Concealment was impossible The po-
lice We're notified, and the doctor and
fis assistant, young Richards, were ar
rested as the body was being borne
from the house to the Morgue. The
Coroner's jury ordered them held for
trial on a. charge of wil1fuI murder
They refused to betray the principal in
the case, but the latter, overcome by re-
morse and apprehension, committed
suicide on the night they We're lodged
In Jail. His wife, a society queen and
wealthy in her own right, became a
raving maniac and is now an inmate of
an asylum near Bristol.
Drs. Jones and Richards were placed
on trial for their lives, the prosecution
being assumed by the Crown. Almost
herculean efforts We're made to send
both men to the gallows, but the previ-
Gus high standing of Dr. Jones had Gre
ated strong sympathy in his behalf.
The trial lasted a week, and in the re-
suit the two prisoners were convicted
of manSlaughter. The presiding Judge
vas less disposed toward leniency, and
month ago to-day sentence was pro-
nounced. DR.. Jones, author, lecturer,
humanitarian, leader, was sent to pc
nal servitude for life. Young Richards,
his pupil. found a brilliant career cut
short with a sentnce of five years. To-
day the final words of the last chapter
were written, and the names of the two
unfor'tunateS blotted from the records
of the profession

w. J. Homer, the man who is alleged

arrested in Los Angeles and turned
loose becuase no one was willing to
swear out a warrant for his detention,
has not yet arrived in Sacramento,
though he was reported as being on his
way hither Wednesday night In fact,
many people are of the opinion that he
will not come. In speaking about the
matter last evening Chief OF Police
Drew said that when Homer was cap
tured nobody wanted him, and now
that he had been set at liberty every
body wants him. At present it seems
extremely doubtful whether Homer's
friends in Sacramento will ever See his
