a strom of Pr, tests.

Against shis measure as sought to be
amended by the Democrats and as pass
ed by the House there has come to the
Senate storm of protests. These pro-
tests are coming in a. the rate of two or
three hundred a day and by the end OF
the week the committee will be swamp
ed by them. These protests have NOT
been made public nor has the committee
paid the slightest attention to them so
far. They have been put into the charge
of clerk with instructions to file and
sort them that the statements made
in them could be brought before the com
mittee. After this has been done they
may find their way into the public prints.
They come largely from the lnanusac~
turers of proprietary articles. such as
baking powder. cereal foods inks. etc.
Every article of this and kindred char
acter is compelled 20 pay me stamp tax.
Even the manufacturers of chewing gum
have begun to protest against the tax
levied although it is one of the smallest
imposed. AS it becomes known that an
early report of the bill is impossible it is
supposed these protests will accumulate
with increasing rapidity and by the first
of the week the committee will probably
have as much literature of this kind as
is accumulated when regular tariff bill
is under consideration.

magistrate the assassin was taken this
afternoon from st. Anthony prison to the
Anthropometrical Institute, where he
was measured and photographed.
Portraits were taken to the press and
will be distributed to the police in the
cities where he has lived.
In the course of Il second examination
as to his history and the motives for the
crime. he said he had never known his
father or mother. He was brought I'D
at Parma, Italy. in Il charity school, and
at the age of ten was thrown 81 the

Or leaving his regiment he was en-

Prince of Aragon for three months. AT
his time anarchist ideas began to pos

prevented me from remaining in ser
vitude." In the course of a life of adj
venture he happened to be at Budpest
in 1894. There for the first time he saw
the Empress Elizabeth. He was miscr-
able and weak, and applied to the Italian
Consul to be returned to Italy. The
Consul sent him to Fiume.
Ills description of his subsequent
wanderings was vague. and he said he
seldom. if ever. obtained work. While
staying at Iausaneh he saw a file out
side of a shop. purchased it with no con
ceived purpose and made a clumsy
wooden handle for it.
In prison he has boasted of the crime
and he has addressed a letter to Il Milan
newspaper. expressing a fear lest he be
mistaken by Prof. Cabar TombroSo for
Il degenerate. Dilating in this commune
cation upon the objects of militant an

Above all it is the great who must be
