The Tariff Bill.

Washington, April ga new move
ment for change in the Payne tariff
bill WAS started 10 the House this morn
log, bat those connected with 1t ex.
planned that it was petition and not an
instruction they had 10 mind. They
drew up a request for the ways and
mesns committee to change the draw
back provision so as TO change the draw
back on ito plate from SO per cent. to
30 per cent. About 20 members signed
the petition.
Mr.. Dwight, the whip on the repub.
llcsn side of the House, stated this
morning that the rule on the tariff bill
must be presented this afternoon. he
EXPRESSED confidence that it would be
adopted and said that the bill would be
passed within q few days. At ii
O'Clock this morning the House leaders
admitted that they did not have enough
votes TO pass the rule, bat they expected
to get the Gumber needed by securing
the SUPPORT Of the high tariff insurgents.
Their offer to the latter vas that they
would do all 10 their power 10 have the
Senate place in the tariff bill the items
desired by the high ter fl meu. The
later took the offer under consideration.
A mteilng Of the House high tariff In
snrgents was held at IL O'Clock. Mr..
Hughes, of West Virginia presided.
Several of the members who attended
the meeting Saturday were absent. They
considered the offer of the House leaders
that the latter would look after the IN:
teresi Of the insu'g gents in the Senate IL
the insurgents would agree to vote for
the rule Of the Payne bill. 1t was stated
after The meeting thSt the terms of the
leaders were satisfactory aud that the in
surgents would vote for the rule.
At one o'clock word cane from the
speakers loom, where the republican
members OF the committee on rules we're
10 session, tba. the rule would be ready
for sHbmission TO the House 10 about an
hour. Reports circulating in the House
Get forth that the rule would provide for
an al valOrem duty of rs per cent on
oil and would provide for sep
srate vote on the lumber schedule.
An sd valOrem duty on oil would take
the place OF the cOuutervailing duty now
10 force and which has been declared by
many orators in the tariff debate to he
of great advantage to the Standard Oil
Ojmpany. A separate vote on the lum-
ter schedule may result in free lum
Der, but both sides are inclined
to think that the result would
be close. 1t Is significant, however,
that the advocates of high tariff are
opposed and the friends Of free lumber
strongly 10 favor Of separate vote.

promises to be most sensational, as ell OF
the evidence against the young woman,
who is very comely, is clrcumstsnlisl.
The community is divided as to her
guilt or Innocence, but the general
opipion Is that she will be acquitted, SIS
the question of motive Is still In the
dark. The prosecution will try TO prove
that Mrs. Sampson made mysterious
trips to Rochester to meet another man
and that the couple qusrreed about this
with the result that Mrs. Sampson shot
him with bis own gun. Mrs. Sampson
will admit a quarrel with her husband
the night before the tragedy, but will
insist that 1t arose through misunder-
stsnding aud that her husband commit

at The trial.

Naples, April ga wireless message

which have ragged since Saturday night
are the worst of the season. The hour Of

American tourists, from all over Italy,
Mr.. Roosevelt was received BY dele
gallon OF city authorities aud presented
with formal address of welcome.
The fact that the Hamburg was late
in arriving seemed to make no differences
In the enthusiasm OF the crowds that
througed the piers. Thousands thronged
iptO the city from all the surrounding
towns and in the number were hundreds
OF Americans. Many Americans 10 the
winter colony at Capri came over to vel
come Dir. Roosevelt. Alloi them wore
small American flags.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt is
travelling uDoficially, bis reception had
an official tinge by reason of the pres
ence of American Ambassador Griscom
and officials representing the city and the
Italian government.
Herr Won Hartmann, the German con-
sul-general at Naples, also took a hand
In the reception, presenting Mr.. RoOse-

"sTONEWALL" JACKSON.

This newspaper desires TO add It's
voice to the general demand that a
fitting monument be erected by the
South to the memory of 'StoneSall'
Jackson. His name and fame will
endure forever, without monument
or tablet, In the hearts Of his coun-
trymen and In the annals OF his coun-
try, but it Is meet shat some out
ward token indicate TO the world
that Jaekson's name is honOred and
beloved in Dixie. Co-egual With Lee
In she great struggle OF Americans
against Americans, Jackson added
lustre 10 Southern military genius
and made possible, by his brilliant
tactics and strategy, the success OF
Southern arms on many a Virginia
battlefield. No better idea of his re-
markable military salient can be
found than in his biography written
by Col. Henderson, OF she British
army. When q Briton compares
tavorsbly soldier of some other
country with the Duke Of Yelling
ton, she conqueror of the great Ma
poleon, is is high praise, indeed, and
this 10 what Col. Henderson has
done.
Evidently an ardent admirer OF
jackson, this British officer has
described his tactics and strategy in
the valley campaign, at Gaines Mill,
at second Manassas and Cedar Run,
at Harper's Ferry and Chancellors-
vil!e,in a manner TO make the South.
ern blood Jingle with pride. Jack.
sons march around Pope at Ma
nassas and his subsequent march
around Hooker, at Chaneellorsville
were masterpieces OF the art of war
Cut of from Gen. Lee at Chancellors
Vile by Sickle's corps, he paid no at
tention to the enemy 10 his rear, but
pushing on with that determination
and confidence which at all time
seemed his, he surprised and crushe,
Hooker's right wing and woulG
doubtless have enabled Gen. Lee /,
crush the Federal army entirely bu
for his untimely death. Jackson
taken ell in all, was the most re
+ markable soldier OF the Civil war an,
his death vas a fasal blow to th
Confederate cause. The defeat a
Gettysburg would hardly have bee
possible had jackson been there b
sct. As 1t was, Longstreet argue
instead OF acting, and the Coniederac
was dosned. By all means let u
erecs this monument and let It b
