Murder and Robbery.

Woodbury., n. j., May 2O.-Lying
in congulated aud almost dried pool of
her own blood, the blackened corpse of
Miss Margaret Bradley. an elderly and
eccentric spinster, who conducted a
small farm about mile aud a-half from
Franklinville, Gloucester county, New
Jersey, was found last evening. The
gruesome discovery was made by two
ploughmen who called at the isolated
farm house, where Miss Bradley had
lived lonely, recluse life. There was
every indication that the woman had
been murdered, although cursory ex-
animation failed 10 show any wounds
from which the blood IN which the wo-
mans body lay, might have come. The
house had evidently been thoroughly
ransacked, and as the recluse was com
monty reported to be miser, it is be-
lieyed murder followed the preparation
of a robbery. There we're also indica-
tons of struggle in the room where
the body was found. On a table in the
room where the corpse lay was found a
half finished letter dated Sunday last,
and it is believed that the woman was
engaged in writing this when she was
attacked and killed The body has been
re moved to Clayton, n. j.. and Coroner
Ludden and the Gloucester county au-
thorities are making a search for the sup
posed slayer of the woman.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1900

Aerpe all the defiant talk Of the past
few DAYS from administration sources
relative to the determination to buy
Panama canal supplies where they were 'o
chad cheapest, later developments snow
that the administration has consented 10
compromise" with the siand-pa'ter''
led By Speaker Cannon, with tue
ayowed object of avoiding any disturb
ances of party harmony or an untlmely
precipitation of tariff agitation. Inc
President and Secretary Taft, as stated
in Yesterdays Gazette, have agreed, Tor
the present, not to buy any ships abroad,
but TO charter them, instead, anu 10
, limit the purchase of other suPpliea ana
material 10 the actual necessities of canal
work until Congress meets. This is a
decided modification of the policy an
nounced by the President, and is an as
surance h the high protectionists that
the administration twill go no further
than is absolutely necessary uhlil
Congress has had an opportunity
to decide upon legislative action. -
The President, it is now given out, "has
no desire to run counter to the senii'
ment of his party, if Resentment proves
t, be in favor of restricting the purchase
of canal supplies in this country. 1t Is
not the policy of ProtC ctiOn, it is stated
that the President is opposed to, but the
rapacious policy of the protected. " Since
his arrival in Washington Speaker Can
non has been laboring to obtain stay o.
proceedings in the canal supplies matter
and his efforts have been eminently sue
cessful. He promised that if given an OPP
p,rtunity Congress would take such action

struction. The Speaker also told the
President and Secretary of War that II
their declared policy were carried into
effect TO the extent indicated in the orig
NAL announcements on the subject it
would have most disastrous results for
the republican party. Ia response to the
Speakers appeals, the subject was taken
up afresh in the Cabinet meeting yester-
day and decision reached that the pol
icy of buying canal supplies abroad
should be appliedin the mildest possible
manner

MIR. j. s. Williams and the Tariff

John Sharp Williams, minority leader
10 tue Hou5e of Representatives at Wash.
ington, mas prepared the following
statement.
at is not at all unnatural that the
Federal Cabinet or the Secretary of War
should object to being robbed by the
great trusts of the country, operating un-
der the shelter of the tariff and selling
at one puce--a reasonable one-tO
foreigners and at another price-an ex-
tor'ionate One-to the home consumer,
including the government of the United
Stste,-their great benefactor-which
has freely conferred upon them the pri-
vilege of robbing
''rhe only thing curious to my mind
is that the men who can see so clearly
the iniquity, when it comes to bear as a
hardship upon the government itself or
the Panama Canal Commission-which
is the same thing, being branch of the
government-caunot see il and will not
remedy it when bearing as hardship
upon tie people, many Of whom are so
much poorer and less able to withstand
extortion than the government is.
"a startling public object lesson of
the inquiry and wrong was needed. The
attempt upon the part of the tariff-bred
and fairfield trusts to 'perpetrate the
old, old wrong upon new customer, to
wit, the government itself, has furnished
this object lesson, and even republican
cabinet is soon torevolt. The tax which
the trust would have levied under the
shelter of the tariff, upon the people in
directly, by making the government pay
for materials for the construction OF the
Panama canal is not a 1.-THE OF the
amount which they daily levy upon the
people themselves, upon the hnmblest,
most obscure and least able TO pay, as
we'll as upon our navy, our merchant
marine our railroads and our sky
scrapers.' One of three things will
now happen. Either the government
will buy its materials needed upon the
