1t is estimated that the tariff re
moved from the above articles would
save several millions to the people
of the South, who produce from ex'
port scarcely one of the listed com
modities. The bill as introduced
will hardly pass the Senate. It eats
too deeply into the vitals Of protec.
ton for it to meet with favor in that
citadel of the interests, which is ye'
controlled by the Republicans. Al
the Democrats in the House as vel
as the Senate, are expected to vote
for the measure. In that case the
responsibility for its defeat would
have to be assumed by the Republi'
can Senate, which,: no doubt, vii
cost some more of the stand patters
their seats in that body. The HOUSE
will pass the bill and leave the worl
of annihilating it to the Republican
Senate. Such action on it's part vii
only strengthen the Democrats witt
the people in the next presidential
campaign.

FALLS TWO STORIES
LITTLE GIRL HAS MARVELLOUS
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Playing With Her Toys -Four Hours
After She Had Fallen from the
Secnnd.Sfnrr Piazza
Second-story Piazza.


The News and Courier says falling
from a second story piazza to brick
yard, sustaining a concussion Of the
brain, unconscious for about two
hours, and four hours after the fall
sitting up in bed playing with her
toys and on the road to speedy and
absolute recovery, 3-year-old Clara
Smith, little white girl, who lives
at No. II King Street, may lay claim
to being one Of the most remarkable
little girls in Charleston. At any
rate, the case is unique in medical
annals, according to the physician
who attended the little one after the
fall.
The little girl was playing on the
upstairs piazza at about one o'clock
Friday afternoon, and it is supposed
that she must have climbed upon the
railing. Suddenly there was cry
and the Mortified nother saw the
body of her little one go hurting
through the air and strike the paved
ground.
Several people rushed to the scene
Of what was thought to be the trag-
edy, and they picked up the limp
form Of the little girl. The child had
landed on her head, her neck had
been bent and to the 1ayman's eyes
it appeared that she had fractured
her skull. A physician was called
| and he responded at once. He straigh-
tened the little ones spine, fixed her
neck, and applied hot bottles to the
body.
Then for about two hours the lit
tie girl was. left entirely alone, and
no other methods of treatment We're
used. Care and patience were re-
warded when she opened her eyes
and lisped a question. The physician
then left the house, and on his re-
turn, about two hours later found
the little girl sitting in bed play,
ing merrily with her toys, and SEEM
ingly none the worse for the accident,
with the exception of few trivial
bruises. A second examination was
made and it is believed that in spite
of the accident the child will be per-
fectly normal, both physically and
mentally.

THE SULZER RESOLUTION WHICH

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
Sulzer resolution demanding the abro-
cation Of the treaty of 1882 between
the 'United States and Russia was IA
vorably reported 10 the House today
by the unanimous vote of the Commit

tee met in executive session at 1920
o'clock this morning to consider the
resolution and the arguments in its
favor made before the committee by
prominent Jews from New York, Phil
adelphia and elsewhere.
There was no opposition to the res
olution, and after the committee had
reviewed the situation and agreed
that the course of Russia in refusing
to recognize United States passports
on religious grounds, made the abro-
cation Of the treaty inevitable, the
Sulzer resolution was ordered favor.

ed that the resolution will be passed
by the House with the same spirit OF
unanimity.
The resolution introduced by Sulz-

as follows;
Resolved, That the people of the
United States assert as a fundamental
nrinpinla that tho T,iphtc Of tic oiti1o,,,

abroad because of race or religion:
that the Government of the United

equal protection of all classes of it's

United States will not be a party to
any treaty which discriminates, or

marks ($125,OOO) for the purpose. The
situation of the poorer public en-
ployes, who form a class quite apart
from that of working men receiving
simila rwages, is supposed to be espe-
cially unfavorable The measure
meets general approval, though some
of the benefciaries are complaining
that in view of the high cost of living
the amount is too small to be of much
practical benefit

the aforesaid reasons the said treaty
is hereby declared to be terminated
and of no further force and effect
from the expiration of one year after
the date of the notification of the Gov
eminent of Russia of the terms of
this resolution, and that to this end
the President is hereby charged with
the duty of communicating such a no.
tice to the Government of Russia"
The Sulzer resolution will be called
up in the House tomorrow. 1t will
undoubtedly be passed by an over

then go o-the Senate, where action
will be deferred until Congress has
been informed of the Presidents ne.
