Washington, March 27.-The monot.
ony of the tariff debate in the house
of representatives was relieved for a
time yesterday by a clash between
Messrs. Fordney of Michigan and
Byrd of Mississippi, which came near
ending in blows. MI. Fordney had
been making an exhaustive discussion
Of the lumber schedule when he was
interrupted by the Mississippian, who
insisted that the lumber manufacture
ers, of which Mr.. Fordney was one,
were in a trust. Mr.. Fordney peremp-
torily denied the statement and said
that Mr.. Byrd didn't know q d-n
thing about It."
The Mississippi member made a
move toward Mr.. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some of his Democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later II developed
that the incident grew out Of a mis-
understanding and both men made
mutual explanations and apologies.
Mr.. Fordney made a notable speech
on the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product
in the rough.
Washington, March 30.-The tarifr
question was again discussed In the
house of representatives yesterday In
a ten and a half hours session. Not
one of the nan speakers favored the
Payne bill in its entirety, while the
Democrats found much IN 1t to criti-
else and condemn.
In the senate yesterday Senator
Hale, chairman of the Republican
caucus. introduced a resolution to
conine the business of the extra SEES
sion to the consideration Of the tariff
bill and the bill providing for the thir-
teenth census, but he afterwards
amended it so as to permit the intro
duction of bills and the transaction of
executive business. The measure
went over until Thursday to allow
further consideration of the question.
Washington, March 31.-When the
session Of the house yesterday got
we'll under way the tariff debate wax
ed warm. The indications were when
the body met at 10 o'clock that the
proceedings would be dry and unin-
teresting, but a revival Of the discus
sion Of the oil and lumber schedules
was like setting a match to both
products, for the subjects proved of
absorbing interest to the members,
who entered generally into the de-
bate.
Washington, April 3.-Dragging it
self tediously along, general debate
on the tariff was continued in
the house yesterday and last night.
The Payne bill came in for its usual
condemnation from the Democrats.
the reductions being characterized as
pretexts and shams, and the bill as a
whole as "a huge Mephfstophelean
joker"
Washington, April 3. - That the
Payne bill was filled with riotous I'm
projections, YVES a false pretense, was
designed to cover up the extrava-
gances of the Republican administers
tion, that it did not redeem party
pledges, and that II sounded the death
knell Of the dominant party, were

COUNTIES SHOULD BE WARY.

While Baltimore City has inaugurated
campaign for largely increased repre-
sentation in the Senate and House of
Delegates of the General Assembly of
the State, the advocates of the project
are waking up to the knowledge that
better quality in its representative is
at least as fully desirable as an increase
in their numbers. Leading citizens in
the learned professions and in the vari-
Gus branches of business enterprise are
being importuned to become candidates
and few of them have indicated will
ingness.to make the sacrifice. Political
bosses, however, may not see things in
that light. They want .henchmen who
will be subject to their control in their
legislative acts and not citizens of indie
pendent character who will vote as they
please upon such measures as may call
for their action in the Legislature. 1t is
to be feared that enlarged misrepresentation
would only increase the influence and
authority of the bosses in shaping legis-
lation and for that reason. if for no 9TH
err, the people of the State should be

William Paugh, who made his home
with his son, Mr.. John Paugh, of Mt.
Zion, died at the advanced age of 90
years, on February 23rd. His remains
were inferred in the family grave yard
of William Beavers on Thursday. M.
Paugh was the father of seven children,
and pioneer settler of the Mt Zion
community, in which he had lived dur
ing his entire life time.
The remains of Mrs. Edward Tasker,
of Antioch, were brought to Cross on
last Tuesday to be buried in the Clayton
grave yard. Mrs. Tasker was the
youngest daughter of the late James
Tasker and leaves a family of four
children.

wary IN the consideration of the project
to greatly enlarge the city's power in
the legislature The effort to induce
citizens of better class that has been
representing the city to assume legisla-
tive responsibility will likely by only
spasmOdiciand ephemeral. Little hope
can be cherished of permanent and last
ing improvement in existing conditions
and with the numbers of the city sena-
tors and delegates augmented the more
p politicians, relegated to the rear for a
season, would return to their own again
with their authority enlarged to the ex-
tent of.such increase.
1t may not be just to the city to re-
fuse any addition what ever to its repre-
sentation but it should not go beyond
the creation of five legislative districts
with a senator and six delegates for
each. The counties have shown by
theirepast action on several occasions
that they are in no respect hostile to the
city or inimical to her interests. Under
the constitution of 1851 she had single
senator and only ten delegates. The
constitution of 1864 increased her repre-
sentatiOn to three senators and eigh-
teen delegates. Twelve or fifteen years
ago an amendment to the constitution
adopted by large majority added an
other senator and six delegates to that
number. Considering the political
not partisan-co conditions which have
generally prevailed in the metropolis of
the State to add more than another
senator and six delegates to her repre-
sentation would be to cross the danger
line for the counties.

WAR AGAINST DISEASE.

One of the worthiest of charities is
that established by the wife of New
York man of wealth, who has donated
81, 900, 900 for four model tenements in
tended to house persons suffering from
tuberculosis.
Had such charities as this been uni
versally undertaken several years ago,
tuberculosis would not have made the
gains it has and the country would not
now be confronted with one of the
greatest wars against disease on record
We have failed to provide our working
classes with proper habitations Better
housing conditions, sanitary factories.
plenty of fresh air and sunshine, these
are the factors that combine to make
the battle against the Great White
Plague easier to win.
These conditions, for the present t
least. will pl obably have to be supplied
by persons such. as the New York wo-
man referred to. But the campaign of
education can go on unchecked, and it
will doubtless serve to accomplish as
much as, if not more than, large none
tary donations.

A TYPHOID FEVER

An epidemic of typhoid fever in its

A Remarkable Colored Woman.

Mrs. Sarah Ann McClough, a we'll to
do colored woman, died at her home
near Paw Paw, W. Va, at the wonder
full age of 104 years. She was born on
the farm owned by her father, John
Robinson, near Middletown, Va, about
1905. She had a wonderful memory,
having but recently recalled seeing the
stars fall on Nov. 10, 1888, and many
other things that occurred many years
ago. Her father being free-holder
she was never a slave and by this ad-
vantage she had accumulated enough to
purchase her farm of 300 acres on which
is an immense peach orchard and a COM
Portable dwelling where she and her
only son lived in comfort till death
claimed her, she being mp and active
until two days before. A remarkable
thing about her was that she could
read, knit or sew without the use of
spectacles with as much ease as a per-
son of 30 years. She was an aunt of
Mrs. Harriet Banks, Of Oakland, who
attended her funeral he leaves quite
a number of grandchildren and other
near relatives.

EQUIPMENT FOR AN ARMY OF
10000 MEN.

That the United States Government
could arm $50, 900 soldiers. if they
should be called into the field, with the
stock of modern rifles it now has on
hand is the gratifying information
which the army officers have given to
the Congressional committees. A few
years ago the problem of arming a
great force would have been we'll nigh
insOluble. The country couldn't have
secured the guns for love nor money
simply because they were not in the
country. T h e Government arsenals
were set to work turning out a great
stock of them, and the result is the
very satisfactory showing now made.
This is another aspect of preparation
in which great progress has been made
since the Spanish War 1t is now well
known that when the conflict broke out
there would have been genuine panic if
the country had been permitted to know
how ill-prepared we were for a fight
Not only is there now an ample supply
of weapons for any force which it is
conceivable the country may need to
call into action, but these weapons are
all Of better type than those used dur
ing the Spanish War. The old Spring
field was then used, and it did good
service The new Springfield, however
has been developed into vastly super
ior weapon, the experience of the Man
churian War having given some useful
pointers on rifle construction, especially
with reference to the construction and
use OF the layonet
In the direction of artillery, it also
develops, the United States is better
prepared than tor many years past--in
fact, better than ever before since the
CivilE War. A hundred batteries of
three-inch field pieces are now available,
and they are of the best style. Every
thing provided for the army and navy
nowadays is of the best. Time was
when this rule did not obtain. 1t is not
unlikely that the time will come when
the lesson of the Spanish War. with its
reminder that military matters must
not always be neglected, will be looked
upon as the country's salvation from a
great disaster. But for that war we
would doubtless have gone on indefinite
ly in ways of careless unpreparedness.
