Congressman Het9in
 Attacks RObbeY Tariff Aabaman Delivers Strong Speech in House Condemning Re publican Methods in Framing Tariff Bill and Declaring
 That Measure Is One Simply Got
 Up to Fool the People

Washington, April S.-Congressman J. Thomas Hehin delivered the following ad- dress upon the tariff in the house on Friday, in which he severely arraigns the republican party:
 No party has ever deceived the people so successfully and so continuously on public question as the republican party has deceived the American people on the tariff question.
 When the country was prosperous, not by reason of but in spite of your robbef tariff, you told the people that your high protective tariff produced that prosperl- ty, and they believed it.
 While the people were giving thanks to the republican party for what they considered blessings from the Dingley tariff law the tariff barons of America were reaping a rich harvest at the hands of the masses and trust magnates were pitching their tents in every avenue of legitimate business and destroying com petition on every hand; and today the combination of these two obnoxious in- terests controls the money supply of the country, and by the exercise of the pow CT that your time-serving party has placed in their hands they can produce a panic in 24 hours.
 The panic that came upon us nearly two years ago, when the republican party was in power in every branch of the government, and when your protective tariff was the highest that ever burdened the country, has at last convinced the people that the republican party and re- publican tariff laws cannot prevent pan- ics, and that they are utterly unable to deliver us from the clutches of panic that has cursed the country for nearly two years.
 Lost Campaign Cry.
 What has become of your campaign .Trr f4aava daar1 crats are in power and democratic tariff laws are in force? The souphouses built to feed the great army of American wage earners who were thrown out of em- ployment by the ruthless hands of a re- publican panic answer that question. The number of mercantile failures-the great est ever witnessed in the history of pam ics-also makes answer. Closed mills, par alyzed industries and demoranzation of trade have all placed the death seal upon that false cry of the republican party.
 That campaign cry has served you well and 1t must be sad to part with it now, but even in this august. instance you must yield to the inevitable. For the song has gone out of the thing iI ' lEs Hsl! is ss II giilg A ] sLizll3a4s The nightingale sings no more to the
 rose
 When the beautiful flower is dead.
 But the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Cushman) refuses to be convinced. The staggering fact of a widespread and ruinous panic disturbs him not On he goes talking about prosperity in his state.

IMPORTANT SERIES
OF TARIFFS
FILED
SCHEDULES ON FREIGHT TO PA
ClFIC COAST POINTS PRE-
SENTED TO COMMISSION.

Washington April 26,-An important
series of rates was today filed with
the interstate commerce commission
affecting westbound traffic to Pacific
coast terminals. The rates, which are
to become effective June 5, make an
average reduction of 10 cents per l0c
pounds on all commodity tariffs from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific
coast.
on January | the transcontinental
railroads put into effect rates to the
Pacific coast. to which the western
shippers strenuously objected. 1t was
evident that complaints We're to be
made to the interstate commerce
commission unless some amiCable ad-
justment of the situation could be ar
raned.
In February, at Chicago, confer
enCeS We're held between representa-
tives of the shippers and railroads, al
which a tentative agreement was
reached. The result of that agree
ment is embodied in the tariffs just
filed. No reduction has been made ir
the eastbound traffic from the Pacific
coast, but it is expected that tariffs
soon to be filed will make a CORE
spending reduction on such traffic.

which is a small town not far from
Alexandretta, brings most alarming
accounts of the situation there. They
affirm that 100000 Armenians are be-
leagured by $4,000 Moslems. The be-
sieged are half starved and the con-
ditions within the walls of the city are
pitiful.
1t is difficult for foreign residents
here to credit those numbers. The
foreign consuls estimate about 5000
townspeople and refugees at Deurtyul,
with perhaps as many more Turks
threatening them from the outside. 1t
is certain that no Americans are
there.
The commanders of the British and
other warships at this port have had
under consideration the landing of a
force to relieve the besieged town,
which is within one days march of
Alexandretta, but they finally decided
that this was wholly impracticable, as
they had no right to interfere.
If relieving forces were sent out in
opposition to the governors wishes IT
was recognized that such an expedi-
tion would be equivalent to a declara
tion of war, and in addition the largest
commands that the warships could
muster would stand in great danger of
being overwhelmed if they attempted
to force their way against such i'm
mense odds

stand. When the session ended Gall
lagher had reviewed the incidents
leading up to the indictment of the

cence of Wrongdoing imputed to him
by the district attorneys office Sec
ton by section, the witness heard the

BAILEY DEN0UNCES
PROTECTIVE
TARIFF
TEXAS SENATOR ATTACKS PRlN-
c,PlE OF THIS SORT OF MEAS.
URE BEFORE SENATE.

Washington April 26.-Denouncing
the principle of a protective tariff as
unfair in taking money from one man
to give it to another in order to en-
courage him in the pursuit of an
otherwise Improbable business, SEN
ator Bailey of Texas today delivered
a speech on the democratic side in
opposition to the pending tariff Dill
After he had proceeded without inter-
ruption for more than an hour, sew.
eral senators engaged in colloquies
with him.
Referring to Mr.. Bailey's statement
that the duties of the pending bill
might be 33 1-3 per cent, Mr.. Aldrich
asked whether he supposed the profits
of American industries equalled that
amount. Mr.. Bailey replied that in
the case of the United States Steel
corporation he believed that they had
and cited the increased capitalization
of that organization as an evidence
of enormous profits. He insisted that
such a lowering of the rate of duty
would not seriously affect importa-
tions, because he believed American
manufacturers would be stimulated by
the added foreign competition and
would continue to supply the mar
kets.
Mr.. Bailey discussed his amendment
providing for an income tax, which
was criticized by Mr.. Aldrich as
tending to reduce the protection fol
American laborers if it should result in
proportionate decrease of customs
duties, Mr.. Bailey favored restriction
of immigration as protection &c
American labor.
Mr.. Aldrich retorted that while Mr.
Bailey was ready to keep the foreign
laborer from our shores, he was moi
adverse to allowing the product OF
this cheap labor to come in competi-
ton with the product of American
Workingmen.
Mr.. Bailey will resume tomorrow
when he will devote his attention tc
| the purely legal aspect of an income
| tax law.

Constantinople, April 26.-The depo-
sition of Sultan Abdul Hamid appears
now to be certain, and the 1O1 guns
saluting Mohammed Rechad Eftendl
as the new ruler of the empire prob
ably will be heard before the next
selamilik, on Friday. The dignitaries
of the church care as little for ABDUL
Hamid as does the committee of union
and progress, but the higher clergy
are seeking to curb the agitation OF
the enthusiasts of the Mohammedan
league.
A caucus of senators and deputies
today determined to make an effort TO
try to compel the sultan to abdlcate
under the ecclesiastical law, by the
terms of which a decree may be issued
by the sheik- ul islam pronounclng the
sultan incapable of ruling.
A canoncal rescript will be demand
ed on the ground that the sultans
supremacy is harmful to the church,
contrary to the sacred law and unjust
to the Turkish people. The program
is that a demand shall be made for the
abdication of Abdul Hamid simultane-
ously from the highest court or the
church. from the national assembly
and from the military chiefs. The sui
tan will be offered a palace and lib
eral allowances.
The censtitutionalists have no wish
to oppose ecclesiastical authority nor
to undertake the tasks of progress
without the support of the majority
of the Mohammedan wise men.
A Prisoner.
Mohammed Rechad Effendi, the heir
apparent to the throne, has lived
practically a prisoner for rs years IN
the large palace and gardens not far
from the Yildz kiosk. Since the July
revolution, however, he has often been
in the streets, looking from the car
riage windows upon the scenes in the
thoroughfares, which must have been
strangely interesting to him. He Is
gray-haired and not very strong. He
is 65 years of age and we'll educated
although inexperienced in the affairs
of the world.
This afternoon witnessed the final
act in the siege of the Yildiz General
Schefket, commander of the constl-
tutionalsts, overaweing the Albanians
into surrender This force, composed
of 200 men, was stationed in the i'm
perial palace. The Albanians did not
fight last Saturday, but persistently
refused to Law down their arms.
General Schefket sent up a strong
body of Macedonians and six field
pieces were placed in prominent po
stion above the palace.
