His Home.

Christiania, Norway, May 23--Hen-
rik Ibsen, the Norwegian poet and
dramatist, died at 2:3o o'clock this af-
ternoon He was born in 1928.
The death of Ibsen was unexpected,
although for the past year he had
been very weak. and il was known
that his death was only a question OF
time He was unconscious towards
the end, and passed away peacefully.
None OF his friends were allowed 10
see him during his long illness, the
only persons admitted to his room
being the doctor, the dramatist's wife
and his son. The news of IDseu's s
death made a great impression in this
city. where he was much beloved

'ineo 10 De uppermost between the
TWO great parties during the coming
campaign are already being Joined. if
the speeches now being made In tha
mousse OF representatives are a safe in
oex Several weeks ago Mr.. Rainev
OF Illinois, made d carefully prepared
speech on the watch trust. asserting
that the watch manufacturers of the
United States had one price for watches
at nome and a less price abroad. To-
day In the house Mr.. Charles r lands
OF indiana, In sense answered Mr.
Rainey, frankly admitting that Amari-
can manufacturers had one price at
nome and another abroad, and he de-
iended the practice as in accord with
sooo business methods, insisting that
all countries sold their wares for less
prices abroad than at home. Mr.. Lam
dis also paid some attention TO a speech
made by Mr.. Bourke Cochran. of New
York, wherein the latter denounced the
policy OF protection as one of public
plunder; the fountain source of all
corruption, and the cause of total de-
morallZation of the American republic.
This Mr.. Lands denied He said that
every poor but ambitious emigrant who
landed here during the last ten years
would refute that allegation Referr-
Ing to Mr.. Cockran's speech he said:
This is the best country on earth.
and not the worst country on earth.
And If | thought about it as the gen
tleman from New York, would resign
my seat in this house, sell out my be-
longIngs and move TO some other coun-
try nearer in harmony with my politi-
cal notions"
Mr.. Williams. of Mississippi, the mi
nority leader in answer to Mr.. Lands.
spoke of the conditions leading up to
the appearance of General Coxey's
army on the grass about the capitol. He
stated that he had walked through
Coxey's army while it was encamped
on the grass in front of the senate en-
trance to the capitol and at that time
the Wilson-Gorman bill was under dis
cussion in the senate. He insisted that
the government was still operating un-
der the Mckinley act at that time
and that revenues were being collected
| under that republican measure.
Mr.. Williams said he was encouraged
| In the fight the democrats were making
In favor of tariff reform because Of the
| number Of republican leaders who were
| dashing to the relief of the protective
tariff. He said the sledge hammer de-
batter Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, the chaste
and brilliant Boutell, and even the
humorist of the republican side, Mr..
Cushman, of Washington, had all been
| commanded to support the protective
| theory, and he inferred from this that
| the attacks were having effect.
1t was Mr.. Williams solemn belief
! that the worst thing about the protec-
| tive tariff was that it bribes and cor
rupts the friends of good government.
He said the republicans would come
into the democratic party and say to
| the friends of free trade:
I'VE will protect you against frost:
| We will protect you against hail" and
| so the democrats yielded and even had
been indirectly approached along some
similar lines, but he had been thus far
able TO say: Get thee behind me
