THE FINAL FIGHT,

Exciting Scenes In tho House When
the TarinBill Is Passcd-Bailey and
McSiilIan Disagree.
The final vote on the Dingley tariff
bill in the House was taken on Weines-
day last. The floor of the House pre-
sented an animated appearance long
before the speaker raped that body to
order. Members stood about In groups
and discussed, sometimes in excited
tones, the result Of the conference
agreement on the tariff bill which was
to- be presented for final action. The gal
cries were comfortably we'll filled and
every member In the city was in his
scat when Speaker Reed ascended the
rostrum at noon. Most Of the conferees
on the tariff bill were In their places,
their d ,sks piled high with papers and
documents. The blind chaplain in his
prayer invoked q blessing on the days

he prayed, "be worthy Of this great ma
tion and rebound to the good of aIl Its
citizens."
After few minor matters had been
disposed Of, Mr.. Dingley arose. Hold
ing alOft the report and great mass OF
Of papers, he said, In calm tones "Mr.
Speaker, desire to present the confer
ence report on the tariff bill"
Salvos OF applause from the Republi-
can side greeted this announcement.
The papers were carried to the clerk y
desl<. Tho reading Of the formal re-
port was dispensed with at the request
of Mr.. Dingley and the statement OF the
effect OF the changes read.
Mr.. Bailey, the leader of the minor
ity, disclaimed before the reading be-
gan, any responsibility for the state
ment, which, he said, the IN inority has
had no opportunity to read. At the
conclusion Of the reading of the state
ment Mr.. Dingley took the floor. Be-
tore he began his speech he said he de-
sired, ,if possible, to ente r into an agree
ment with the minority as to the length
of time debate should run. Mr.. Bailey
said ;the minority would like three
days, but knowing that such time cOulo
| not be obtained he would be willing to
allow the debate to run today and TO-
morrow, with provision for vote be-
| fore adjournment tomorrow.
Dir. Dingley, in reply, said he was not
prepared to agree to Mr.. Bailey's prop
| Osition. When he expressed the hope
that s'vote could be reached today the
Republicans broke into long and loud
applause.

Mr. John II. Duncan promised not to

thought since the liquor traffic was an
evil that the State had better take

Mr.. Duncan declared that Mr.. Nc

In Fashions Realm.

The following items are taken
by the HERALD from lie Bon Tons
report of Paris fashions.
Embroidery is used very much
this season.
Sashes are worn to a very great
extent. They are tied at the back,
or on the side.
Striped silks are very much worn.
AS to trimmings, there are more
entire deux, more ruffles, more pleat-
ings, than ever. Ruffles, instead of
encircling the skirt, are put on to
form tablier effects. 1t is the same
with lace and embrol derry.
Ribbon is used without limit.
The ribbons are made very wide.
For early autumn drap d'etetes,
cashmeres, etaminrs, and light
weight cloths, will be much worn,
Waists differing from the skirts
as to material, but harmonizing in
color only, are asst the thing.
The ne vest skirts are made very
tight fitting around the hips, but
flaring out at the bottom. They
are tied back very close around the
figure.

The opponents of speculative trading
in grain and stocks are learning an ex-
pensive lesson just now. On January
the German anti-option law, which
prohibits deals in the futures of agri-
cultural products and stocks, went into
force. 1t had the effect of abolishing
every bourse and grain exchange in the
empire. Instead of having proved a
benefit to the farmers, the new regula.

Local dealers make market price
from day to day, and the producer, who
no longer can get reliable quotations
from the trade centers, is compelled to
take what may be offered to him. The
government has received such a vast
number of protests from all parts o:
the empire that it is attempting to ar.
range a compromise between the
agrarians lat whose head stands Count
Won Kanitz. author of the anti-option
billy and the bourses. 1t proposes that
open trading should be restored under
certain restrictions, and that the
agrarian element should be represent
ed in the directories of the bourses.
Of course, thisproposition was declined
by the exchanges, and still greater
drop in the price of wheat followed.

understand that open trading, in3spite
of some drawbacks, stimulates compe-

pox and yellow fever are decimating
the peaceful portion of the islands
population, and that Cuban patriots
and captives from the insurgent army
are being killed by the score, after
having been put through course of
indescribable tortures. Senior Canovas,
head of the Madrid government, has
not failed to take cognizance Of this
change of sentiment, and it is stated,
on positive authority, that Gen. Wey-
Ter will be recalled as soon as a general
of high standing can be found who
is willing to assume the responsibility
of leading the Spanish army in Cuba.
Gen. Ramon Blanco, marquis of Pena

Weyler's successor, but he seems re-

Another senator from northern

people do just as they are doing. They
are cultivating a military spirit in their
young people. They are educating
them for deeds of heroism. They are
teaching them to love their country.
If George Washington and his CONT
mental soldiers had been defeated those
people would have erected monuments
to their memories just the same, unless
prevented by British power from do
ing So. The southern people fought for
what they deemed to be liberty. State
sovereignty was, with them as tangible
thing for battle as was the slogan of
our revolutionary fathers for taxation
without representation. Let them build
their monuments and tell their children
how bravely and well their soldier IA
theirs fought for what they deemed was
right" 49,. ......
There are two extreme opinions; be-
tween them we may. find middle
ground. 1t makes no difference wheth-
;er the new hall is named after Stone
wall Jackson or Phil Sheridan. It is a
school for young men with ambitions in
the direction of military affairs. It is
an excellent institution and will always
maintain the high reputation which has
long characterized it. Beneath it's roof
even now there may be another Stone
wall Jackson or Robert E. Lee. But
there will be no more rebellion nor ef-
fort at secession in this country, and
the young men now being educated in
military affairs will always be found
with cleaning swords beneath the star
sPangled banner, fighting for one flag
and one country.
