THE TARIFF AN ISSUE.
VIII BE Welcomed by the Republican
Party as Principle in the
Campaign.

The western republicans who
thought that the time was ripe for
letting down the protection of the
tariff have seen light, and have
concluded that the tariff policy of
the republican party has been pref
ty good one and is entitled to fur
ther continuance. Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, one of the re-
publican members of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, had been
disposed to favor early revision of
the tariff. He has just returned to
Washington from visit of several
weeks in the west, and he is now con-
vinced that the time has not arrived
for the lowering of tariff duties, says
the Troy Times.
The republican party is becoming
thoroughly united in the belief that
it is ineXpedient to change the tariff
system at the present time. The
democratic party, always the party
of negation, seems disposed to take
up this tariff issue again, in spite of
the fact that it has been beaten on
this question so often and so severe
ly. The republican party welcomes
the issue for the campaign of 1904,
and believes that those who are re-
joicing in the grand results of pro-
lection and prosperity will again
give their allegiance to the policies
through which the republican party
has made the United States the fore
most nation in productive capacity
and industrial supremacy on the face
of the earth.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-After battling
with every character known in his.
tory, the people of this city are now
up against what is proving to be
the most anr owing of them all.
The living cannot bury theil
dead.
Livery drivers refuse to haul
hearses, and funerals IL over the
city are being postponed in conse'

best they could.
There are today nearly two
thousand livery drivers out on
strike. They ask for better wages
and better conditions of working
hours. Nearly 500 livery stables
are tied up.
At one funeral today, the hearse
was deserted on the road to the GEM
etery and five carriages which fol-
lowed were lift after the deserting
drivers had tied their horses at the
roadside. Tnis was occasioned by
one undertaken securing several
non-union drivers 10 take funeral
cortege to the cemetery. Union
men persuaded the drivers to desert
while en- route. Police officers
mounted the boxes and the remains
| and relatives were taken to the
graveyard.
What is even worse, is the report
that cemetery employees state that
they will join the strikers and will
refuse to handle any funeral. The
situation is ala'm ming and many
think that the unions have gone too
far.
Nearly 1875 funerals were sched-
uled for today, none of which were
able to be carried cut. Undertakers
announce that they will not send
out q hearss until the drivers are
forced into submission.

which were known to have been
possessed by Pope Leo were 10 'ked
for without result, the search toward
the end becoming somewhat fever

Cardinal Gotti, prefect of the
propaganda, accompanied by Mon
signor Marzolini, one of tie late
pope's secretaries, drove up to the
vatican today. and getting out hur-

Pope Plus. They were immediate
ly admitted and remained for two
hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by
this act, and it was believed to have
some relation to the missing wealth,
and the widest rumors were circu-
lated. It soon became known, how
ever, that the bag contained As, ,000,-
COO francs $4,000, ,ooo) in bank
notes.
When Cardinal Gotti entered the
presence of the pope, he sank to his
knees and, pointing to his burden
said:
"Your holiness, the lamented
Leo Just before his death confded
to me the money which I now lay
at your feet, saying if I succeeded
him, / was to use it as [ thought
best, but If another took his place,
I was to turn the money over to
him after period of four months

presence of Monstgnor Marzolini,

share the secret" :"
The Pope was much affected.
The Tribuna goes on to relate
that just about the time this scene
was being enacted in the papal a.
partments, an electrician, while re-
moving the hangings in the late
Pope Leo's chamber in order to get
at the electric light wires, found in
a hole in the wall several bags

Ithaca, N. Y. Dec. ia year

taken to the city hospital suffering
from typhoid fever. She was one OF
the first victims of the epidemic
which last winter ravaged Ithaca
and Cornell University. Today
Miss Ireland still lies in the hospit.
al, the fever still consuming her,
and her weight reduced to barely
fifty pounds. But her physicians
say that she will recover.
A history Of the case is being
prepared by the local physicians.
1t is believed to be one of the most
remarkable cases of successfully
combatted diseases known to the
profession. Every complication
known to medical history which
follows or attends typhoid fever has
been suffered by Miss Ireland. Four
weeks her mind was blank, and
she says that she has no apprecia-
ton of the time she has been con-
fined to her bed.

The most serious demonstration
since the livery strike began this
morning occurred at the funeral
of Mrs. joseph Vlock, who was
murdered few days ago, while the
body was accompanied by her two
small children and was hurriedly
driven from the residence to st.
Procopius church. In anticipation
of trouble detail of police was
sent to the church, where a crowd
of 800 men and boys had gathered.
When the dead wagon drove up
curses and cat-calls were hurled at
the driver and the undertaker's as
sistant and the police were compell-
ed to charge the mob with clubs
before the body could be carried in
to the church. Only the two chill
dren were permitted to enter the
church and cried and sobbed in
grief beside the coffin as the priest
conducted the services. The police
were meanwhile as solid as pha-
lanx at the door, and the crowd was
cursing and shouting. When the
services were over the police again
charged the crowd and formed two
solid lines between which four off,
GERS carried the coffin to the hearse,
which was then driven rapidly away,
the driver lashipg his horses for
ward while the remainder of the
squad checked the mob. A similar
scene was faced at other funerals
but the disorder was not so marked.
In one instance owing to lack of
a conveyance, the priest was COM
PEELED to conduct the service for the
dead at the home before the body
was removed in an express wagon.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
SHOOTS HIS WIFE WHILE
SHE SLEEPS.
Three Children Are Killed by Re
volver-Noise Awakens Boy
and Girl, Who Struggles
for Lite-O her News.

Cleveland, Dec. 2O.-Roscow w.
Darby, machinist, despondent ov-
er his financial affairs, killed his
wife and three children at their
home here early today and then
committed suicide. The crime was
extraordinary in its thoroughness,
and evidently had been planned
carefully.
Darby had been down town as
late as II o'clock last night, osten-
sibly shopping, but in all probabil-
ity securing ammunition for his re-
volver, when he arrived home, his
wife and be talked for time with
a neig Dor who had been talking
over a Christmas festival they had
planned.
The crime is believed to have
been committed about4 o'clock this
morning. Mrs. Derby was shot to-
death in bed, two bullets having
been fred into her forehead, and a
third, probably after the children
had been exterminated, in the back
of the neck
Mrs. Derby was probably killed
during sleep, the expression on her
face showing no sign of struggle.
Two of the children however, prob
ably had a struggle with Darby af-
ter they had been awakened by the
shooting and made an Intellectual
attempt to escape. Harold's body
was found in pool of blood in the
kitchen, and thatof Alice in the
dining room with her face to the
floor and bullet in her breast.
Harold evidently had been chas-
ed bout the house by his father.
as the furnishings were in disorder.
From the location Ct his wounds,
the boy probably was caught by
his father and held while the re-
volver was placed against the little
fellows forehead and two bullets
sent into his brain. There was al
so evidence of struggle on Alice's
part.
The last of the children to die
was Thomas, aged 5. He had re.
NAMED in bed when Derby shot
him in the head.
After the crime had been commit
ted, Derby went to the bedroom
where his wife lay dead, and lying
down at her eide, fred bullet into
his own brain.
A number of poolroom race
checks were found about the house,
showing that Derby had been try
ing his luck at betting. The first
knowledge of the crime was COM
municated in a letter written by
Derby yesterday to'a friend in this
city. The letter was to the effect
that when it was received the Der
by family would be dead. When
the friend hurried to the house this
morning the terrible tragedy was
revealed.
Boston, Dec. 15.-The Democrats
won an overwhelming victory in the
municipal election today. Mayor
Patrick Collins was reelected by
81 1000 plurality. This is the larg-
est plurality ever given mayoral-
ty candidate in the history of the

year will be solidly democratic, and
that party will have large major
