VEST AND JONES FAIL.
They Wanted the Duties on Some Farm
Products Reduced.


Products Reduced.
Washington, June 9.-When the agri-
cultural schedule was taken up in the
senate Tuesday Jones and Vest made
strong efforts to have the duty on cattle
barley. wheat and other products re-
duced on the ground that the high du-
ties on them were unnecessary and mere
ly intended to hookwink the farmers,
but they failed each time and the COM
mittee rates were adopted. MeEnery
Rawlins and Tillman (Democrats) voted
against their party on most of these mo-
tions.
Bacon of Georgia offered an amend
ment placing a duty of 20 per cent ac
yalorem on raw cotton and it was taker
up and discussed. Chiffon opposed the
proposed duty, saying 1t would do nc
GOOD. Egyptian cotton did not compare
with cotton grown in this country. Nc
Laurin took issue with Chiffon and sale
Egyptian cotton competed with certain
cotton grown in South Carolina.
Vest said the Bacon amendment woult
be adopted, as the Republicans woult
vote for II because it forwarded TIT
scheme for breaking up the solid south
Vest said he would not have voted 70
the Chicago platform IL it had mean
what Bacon claimed for it.

PoPE'S LETTER CAUSES ALARM.
German Catholics of Michigan Object e
the Inference II Contains.

Detroit, June 9.-The recent encycli-
cal letter Of the pope, which refers to
the use of English in all Roman Catholic
churches, has alarmed the German
Catholics of Michigan, and decided
stand against the inference the letter
contains has been taken. In the session
Monday Of the German Catholic Central
Verein a resolution was adopted setting
forth that the suggestions in the pope's
letter are nothing more than the pre-
liminaries of an attempt that will be
made. if allowed to proceed unnoticed,
TO wipe out the Germans both as class
and as regards their language in the
church. This they will resist to the ut
most, and the intention is to give their
united protest the widest circulation.
1t is the general opinion that the pope
has been wrongly advised in the matter,
and in support of their cause the protest
of every German Catholic society in
America will be forwarded TO Rome,
with the expressed hope that Leo XIII
cannot ignor the petition of 100000 of his
spiritual children. The convention itself
had very little to do with the resolution
other than that the members unani-
mously indorsed II. as 1t had been care
fully drafted and submitted to them by
the members of the committee.

EDITOR Is SLAIN IN COLO BLOOD.
Clarence Douglass, a Politician, shoots
Down James Williams.

Down James Williams.
Wichita, Kan, June 9.-James Will
Jams, editor of the Ardmore, /. T., Daily
Chronicle, was shot through the heart
Monday by Clarence Douglass, an In
dian territory politician. The shooting
occurred in the presence Of hundreds of
citizens and was a most -blooded
murder. The only provocation Douglass
had was an article which appeared in
the Sunday Chronicle, which. while
mentioning no names. was written in an
ironical vein and undoubtedly referred
to Douglass. Douglass is a prominent
Republican politician, ambitious for
federal appointment, and has been in
dorsed by several Republican organiza-
tions i'm the territory for place on the
Dawes commission.
Williams met Douglass in the street
when the latter called him to task for
the newspaper article. Williams was
backing away, laughing, when Douglass
drew his pistol.
MY God, Douglass, don't kill me,
pleaded Williams. A dozen men rushed
toward the frenzied politician in an at
tempt to dsarm him. 1t was too late.
He fired upon Williams, killing him in
stantly. The widest excitement pre-
vailed. There might have been "A lynch
ing but for the courage of the officers,
who hurried their prisoner to place Of
safety. Mrs. Williams and her eight
children are frantic with grief, and there
is great indignation among the citizens.
The prisoner was denied bail

REPORT ON RUIZ'S DEATH.
Consul General Lee Places Blame on the
Spanish Authorities.

Spanish Authorities.
Havana, June 9.-The full text or
Consul General Lees report upon the
Ruiz case has been given out. The re-
port is aggressive and outspoken and
sets forth that Ruiz was arrested upon
a false charge; that he was placed un-
der improper jurisdiction and given no
opportunity to prove his innocence. 1t
further insists that the doctor was
placed incommunicado for SO hours, in
violation of treaty rights. and that
death ensued from congestion of the
brain. caused by blow upon the top
of the head.
How he came to receive this blow Is
matter OF conjecture. The injury may
have been self-inhicted, as by dashing
his head against the wall during a
paroxysm of madness, or may have
been given by one of the guards, who
carry clubs Possibly the blow may
have been delivered during an effort
to force the prisoner to implicate his
fellow patriots. General Lee concludes
his rerort thus: II therefore now say,
as nave done In all previous reports
about the, case, that whether DIR. Ruiz
killed himself or was killed by some
one else will, under the existing condl-
tions. always remain unknown"

Those acquainted with the case do not
think the charge can be sustained in the

which were copied after the severe En-
