UNDERWOOD TARIFF BILL
IS PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure-Six Republicans
Say Aye.

Washington, May 10.-The Under
wood tariff bill proclaimed by the
Democratic party as the answer to its
platform pledge to reduce the tariff
downward, was passed by the house.
The vote was 2S4 to 1879, five Demo-
Gratis voting against the bill and two
Republicans voting for 1t. Four Pro
fourteen opposed It, while one indie
pendent Progressive Joined with the
majority.
Floods of protest from manufac-
turer, merchant, producer and foreign
nations await the bill when it makes
it's appearance before the senate. The
will be started upon its stormy way
at once. Republican senators will
open the fight by demanding public
hearings. This will be defeated, but
it is the purpose of the Democrats to
give full hearings in committee to all
classes Of directors
There Is little likelihood that the
bin will reach the president again be-
fore September l, and it is probable
that it will have been amended materl-
ally before then.
The tariff bill made record time
through the house, but little more than
two weeks having passed since 1t
came from the ways and means COM
mittee. All amendments except those
proposed by the committee were de-
feated With the exception Of Brous-
sard of Louisiana, no Democratic
member of the house proposed
changes in the bin.

HATcHING OF BROWNS PLOT
Old Erane, House Still Stands Where
the Plan to Raid Harper's Ferry
Was First Broached.

| At No. 1856 Congress street east, De-
troit, Mich, just beyond st. Antoine
! street, is a modest two-story frame
house. There Is nothing in it's outward
| appearance to distinguish 1t from
| others in the locality. OF the thou-
| sands who daily traverse that tnor-
| oughfare few cast even glance III us
direction. They know nothing OF what
happened there.
! Eyery schoolboy knows of John
Brown and the spectacular raid ne leo
upon Harpers Ferry. The affair was
one of the stirring events preceding
the long warfare in behalf or unlteo
country. John Brown was euloglzed
ia song and story.
All this is familiar to every Detroit
er, yet few know that in this city were
formulated the plans which resulted
in this raid, and that the campaign
was outlined in an upper room OF the
little frame house in Congress street.
1t was back in 1859 that Detroit re-
ceived a visit from John Brown. He
was then famous the country over as
the moving spirit in the League or
Gileadites, body sworn to stand to-
gether in their labor of freeing slaves.
His work in Kansas as leader
against the border ruff ans was fresh
IN mind, as were the murder OF i've
pro-slavery men at Pottawatomie, the
capture of General Pate at Black Jack
and the defense Of Ossawatomie. SO
when Brown arrived In Detroit, March
IL, 1859, accompanied by five men and
conveying party of 10 negro refugees
bound for Canada via the under
ground railway" it was a great occa-
sion for the abolitionists, with whom
Detroit teemed.
Either through coincidence or as
the result of prearranged plan.
Frederick Douglass. noted negro ora
tor, arrived in Detroit the same day
as Brown, addressing a mass meeting
that evening.
After the meeting Brown, Douglass,
George de Baptiste, DR.. j. Ferguson.
William Webb and others went to the
Webb home at No. 1856 Congress street.
where a meeting was held.
Here, behind closed doors and with
every man present sworn to secrecy,
Brown divulged his plan to raid the ar
senal at Harper's Ferry. That the sug-
gestion met with the approval of ma
jority of those present is certain.
1t was we'll toward daybreak when
the meeting broke up, and the partict-
pants scattered to their homes. Brown
snatched a few hours sleep, and with
his followers left Detroit. The next
the public heard from him was
when, with handful of followers, he
attacked the arsenal at Harper's Fer
ry. How he was captured after being
seriously wounded, with two dead sons
at his side, tried, convicted and
hanged is a matter of common knowl-
edge.
Just what took place in the house
has never been set forth save In a
fragmentary manner. There are Diff
ferences Of opinion as to the influence
this raid exerted upon subsequent
happenings. But whatever the conclu.
sions, the fact remains that Detroit
bears the distinction of having been
the place where the plan received Its
first impetus
