Reichstag Passes the Governments Proposals Without Amendment.

Proposals Without Amendment.
 Berlin. July 2s.--The Government suc- ceeded in getting the pig iron clauses of the tarif bill aeopte1 by the tarif com mittee of the Reichstag today without amendment, but only after strenuous op- position and long debate
 When the committee took up Clauses 777 to 7s4 of the bill. amendments pro- viding for the reduction and for the aboli- fered. The Pruss,an Minister of Com merce, Herr Meeller. assured the Lih- erals that their fear of outside competi- ton In the iron trade owing to the re- tention of the German tariff were utterly groundless.
 On the contrary. Herr MoeIier said he shared the views of the representatives of the iron industry, who considered the repeal of the iron duties at the end of the seventies to be a serious mistake which had injured the whole fabric of German economic life. Herr Moeller in- sisted that the duty should not be tam pered with, either by reduction or in- crease.
 Count won PosadowskI- wehner. the Im- perial Secretary of State for the Interior, opposed a plea to prohibit importations based on an alleged attempt of the Amer ican trust to unload it's goods at Germany at runous prices. Count von Posadow- sky-wehner declared that such prohibit ton would injure other German indus tries.

OFFICE ROBBED OF s5s.
Thief Entered Telegraph Room at
 Union Station.

Thief Entered Telegraph Room at
 Union Station.
 The Western Union Telegraph once. at the Union Depot, was robbed of s55 by an unknown thief early yesterday morning.
 The money was the property of the telegraph company. George l.. Howell, day operator at the ofice was responsi- ble for its safekeeping. The money rep resented cash receipts taken In by Mr. Howell during the month of July, only q small Western Union business being done at the railroad office.
 Mir. Howell deposited the money in a small locker just previous to leaving for home after his days work. Yesterday morning the money was missed.
 Gordon B. Glover the night operator, was on duty at the ofiice from the time Mir. Howell left until all the trains came in. He says that 1t was impossible for any one to have taken the money during those hours
 When the last train has passed through 1t Is Mir. Glover's custom to so into one of the upstairs offices and complete his work. This hc did Monday night. and # is the opinion of the detectives at work on the case that during that time tlts money was stolen.
 The door to the office was locked. but the glass windows which form the par- titlor between the ofiise and the walt ing room could have been easily raised. Special Agent Mitchell of the Louis vilie and Nashville Railroad had a con- ference yesterday with Mr. Howell, and is actively at work on the case. The city police have been notified.
