A DUTY ON COTTON.



From the Free List.
Washington, June BY the decisive
vote of AZ to 10, the senate yesterday
adopted an amendment to the tariff
bin placing raw cotton, the great prod
uct of the south, on the dutiable list at
20 per cent ad valorem. It is the first
time in the history Of tariff legislation
that a duty on cotton has been incor-
porated i'm a bill. The amendment was
proposed by Mr. Bacon Of Georgia. on
his individual responsibility and with
out the approval of the finance com-
mittee, which thus far has been requis-
ite to the success Of every amendment
except a minor one which went through
by default.
The amendment led to a spirited de-
bate Democratic senators disclosing a
wide difference of views and at times
exchanging sharp personal criticism.
on the final vote six Democrats
Bacon and Clay of Georgia. McEnery
of Louisiana, McLaurin and THlman
Of South Carolina and Rawlins of
Utah-voted with the Republicans for
the Bacon amendment. while the mega
tive vote was soldly Democratic, with
one exception-Kyle, Populist.
The debate on cotton took up most Of
the day, and but little progress was
made on the bill Early i'm the day the
sugar schedule was passed oyer and
the agricultural schedule taken up.
Less than two pages We're disposed of
during the day. The paragraph on cat
tie went over but the balance of the
agricultural schedule, up to and in
cluding paragraph Dos, was agreed to
as reported all amendments except
that of Mr. Bacon being rejected

Trenton. June 9.-The supreme court
heard argument yesterday in the case
of the city Of Hoboken against Will
lam H. Murphy, a former water regis
trar and his bondsmen, and rendered
a decision in favor of the city of Hobo
ken. Murphy converted about $4,000
to his own use, and the finding of the
court below was that his bondsmen
were not responsible, because the re-
ceiving of this money was not a part
of his official duties The money was
paid TO him instead of the treasurer Of
the water company. Yesterdays de-
cision holds the bondsmen responsible
and the case is referred back to ascer-
tain the correct amount of the short
age. The city win probably not recover
more than $50 1000, as the shortage in one
year was much larger than the amount
of the bond

Of vital importance. He advised
shortening of the session, as far ms it

public interest. Furthermore, he
cautioned our lawmakers against in

direction, because of the fact that
there is a prospect of a deficit of

alternative is to reduce expenditures

can senator in the city being present.
After the caucus adjourned Senator AL
drich said it was very successful that
the Republicans were going to stand
together on all schedules of the bill
and that an agreement would be reach
ed where differences of opinion existed.
No agreement was reached i'm regard
to the Hawaiian treaty, and the com
mittee is expected to report some
amendments or a provision which will
supply the provision in the house. The
important feature of the caucus was
the determination reached to vRte to-

proved by the majority

THE political outlook for the gold
Democrats is not very cheering when
they turn their faces in the direction
of the so-called Democracy. In New
York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Iowa and in pretty much
every state where there is to be an
election this fall, the free coinage of
silver is being made leading issue,
and such leaders of that party as
William Jennings Bryan and Richard
Parks Bland are loudly proclaiIning
that there is no place in that party
for men who do not believe in the
free and unlimited coinage of silver

Five Feet wide.
New York, June 9.-Joseph Richard
SON an ecoentrlc millionaire, died here

railroad building and was closly assoc

He constructed large sections of the
Union Pacific. Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain and Mexican Central rail-
roads. lie came as a poor boy from
England Mr.. Richardson's fortune has
been estimated at S20.000 900.
In many ways the dead millionaire
was so eccentric as to excite public
comment, although his chief aversion
was seeing his name in print. He
dressed more like a tramp than
wealthy man, and lived and died in
house which was only five feet wide.
This place has been called the spite
house. 1t was built because the sur
rounding property owners refused to
meet Richardson's terms for the mar
row lott He afterwards refused fabu-
lous sums for the little piece of ground
on which his house stood, amid the tall
houses on the best part of Lexington
avenue.
He will be buried in a coffin he Sc
lected 80 years ago, and which has been
stored in his barn at bridgeport Conn.,
1t is composed Of one inch planks cut
from biz tree specially selected by
Mr.. Richardson. His greatest boast
was: 81 am a working man. I want
no fuss either in life or death. When ]
die # ny coffin is too large fill in the
