CHAMP CLARK OPENS
TARIFF BILL ATTACK.
Minority Leader Says Country Will Find
No Relief from Steel
Change.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Declaring that the present was no time
for an academic discussion of the tariff,
Mr.. Clark (Mo) told the House today
that he had gone to Chairman Payne and
suggested thai insofar as he was con-
cerned he gladly would have waived all
general debate ON the bill if assurance
could be given that there would be am
pie time for amendment and debate I'M
der the five-minute rule, of the entire
measure, section by section. 1t was his
Judgment that the bill could be amended
in many respects.
Touching the failure of the consumer
to appear before the committee, Mr..
Clark said that there were two reasons
for this, one, that In the beginning the
public looked upon the hearings as a
stupendous confidence game, and second,
that the consumer felt that the possibill-
ty of having his tariff burden substan-
TALLY reduced was SO remote that he did
not think it worth travelling expenses,
hotel bills, neglect of business and loss
of time.
The minority leader criticised the Re
publican members of the committee for
not taking the Democrats into their con-
fidence in framing the bill, saying that
they would not have been in any danger
as they outvoted the Democrats and
could have adopted any measure which
they saw ut. He said that both parties
are stared in the face by large and in
creasing deficiency In the revenues and
that there are three ways known to cor
rect this-cut down expenses, increase
taxes and issue bonds. To issue bonds,
he declared is no remedy as they must
sooner or later be paid. Taxes, he con-
tended should never be increased where
possible to avoid it. Cutting down ap-
preparations, without stinting the gov
eminent in any of its proper functions,
Mr. Clark said, is then the most eff
Gent remedy.
There was, he declared, no question
of free trade involved in the revision.
In the present posture of affairs, he ar
gued, every approximately prohibitive
rate ought to be cut to a revenue basis.
There were many of them in the Ding
ley bill, a large portion of which, he
said, were retained in the Payne bill.
The rate on steel rails had been cut in
two, being reduced from 1874 to 1892
a ton, but he predicted that the Payne
rate would prove just as prohlbltlVe as
the higher figure.
He referred to the testimony of Mr..
Carnegie before the committee in which
he said that no tariff was needed on
steel rails even from a protectionist's
viewpoint, and said that in the steel rail
question he pinned his faith to the laird
of SkibO.

SORTING PEARLS.
Ahe Gems Vary Greatly in Size

The Gems Vary Greatly in Size
shape and Quality.
When the pearls are taken from thu
dead fish they are first sorted accord
ing to size. This is done by passins
them through a set Of ten small brass
sieves, called baskets, with meshes OF
varying sizes. Pearls Of the first class
that are perfect both in sphericity and
in ulster are called ami. Those Of the
second class, that to the average OBJ
server seem equally without flaw, are
an1tari, and most Of the pearls we see
in the west and on general sale come
under this head. OF the third class
call masauku, are those that are
somewhat irregular in shape and q
tribe off in color, but that are valuable
for use in clusters and are largely
used by eastern artificers in mountings
Of various sorts. Rural is the double
OF twinned pearl, which, when of good
luster and sufficiently freakish shape
Is sometimes enormously valuable. In
this class the most wonderful speci
men on record is the great Southern
Cross pearl. which is in reality nine
pearls naturally grown together and
forming a perfect cross an inch and a
half long. It was found off the coast
of Western Australia in 1874. Many
seed pearls and reflections, called va
divu, are generally ground into chu
nam, and used as an ingredient in q
favorite sweetmeat. From China also
comes a heavy demand for seed pearls
and in India bushels of them literally
are used IN the decoration Of idols and
sacred images and of weapons as we'll

MAXIM'S RIFLE MUFFLER.

secret had an idea there was q valve
in the "silencer" which stopped the
rapid escape OF the gases from the
end of the barrel. 1t is these gases
which cause the noise in firing. The
Illustration pictures the rifle muffier,
how it is attached to the gun, and also
gives a cross section Of the muff1er
showing the chambers which catch and
whirl the sound waves.
Mr.. Maxim explained that the prin-
ciple used in stopping or slowing up
the gases is that of q negative turbine,
and the process. in effect, is the re-
verse of that used in driving boats
with turbine engine. There is a hole
through the center of the ''silencer"
large enough to permit the easy pas
sage of the bullet As for the gases
they are given a rapid rotary motion
by the device, which prevents their es-
cape until this motion has died down
Mr.. Maxim used the simple illustra-
ton of q wash basin. By giving a
rapid rotary motion to the water it is
prevented from escaping through the
vent at the bottom until the motion
slackens. when it escapes slowly.
While the water is revolving rapidly
the vent Is open so that a small OBJ
ject would be able to pass through
freely without being retarded in the
slightest degree. The invention was
passed around the room compeIte and
In cross section for inspection.
1t is declared that the velocity of
the bullet is not lessened in the least
degree, as the gases have done all
their work on the projectile before they
reach the "silencer.''

What the Mimic War is For.

The war game now being engaged in by troops from several states in
 southeastern Massachusetts is novel,
 in that it reflects a purpose other than
 the training of the citizen soldiery in | campaign and battle tactics It is unique because the particular element | In that broad purpose has never been 1 treated on so considerable a scale The | scheme of national defense to which ] congress has been devoting extraordi- nary millions since the Spanish war is probably not yet fully appreciated by the pubilc at large; although a nation al dehcit and the proposal of strange
 devices for revenue raising may have served as reminders that preparation
 for war has been going on at a pace
 unexampled, even relatively to the
 prestige and resources of the nation.
 in the history of the country To that
 scheme of defense and to the corre-
 spending cost of it's continued devel-
 opment, the military problem now be-
 ing worked out in Massachusetts bears
 an intimate relation.
 The problem of the defense of the united States from invasion by an enemy at it's coasts is not to be an preached after the European method. on the continent the dividing frontiers or nelghboring powers are emphasized by solid walls of bristling forti6ca- tions. Their water gates are guarded In like manner Such complete in Vestiture with resisting armament is | not excessively expensive for them and has been easily accomplished. The coast line of the United States. even tnough the northern hOrder need not | pc considered is so long that to en- | case the country in armor IS out of the | question; because of the cost. if not | physically. The theory that na- tion's best defense is a formidable fleet | on the enemy's shores accounts for the urgency to develop the navy. The ar engagements for protection at the home | coasts thus contemplate what in mili- tary parlance is called a second line of defense. Reckoning on the possi- bility that the effective fleet will be destroyed or lured to futile service far over seas, how shall the country then be made secure against invasion or saved from disaster to it's great port cities?-Providence Journal
