The Pint Emergency Rill.
Washington, Dec. 27.—The com
mittee on rules of the liouse to-day re
ported a rule to vote on the ways and
means committee tariff bill at 5 o’clock
this afternoon and the bond bill at 5
o'clock to-morrow.
The rules report was adopted in the
House by 213 to 89, a strict party vote.
In anticipation of a field day in the
House over the passage of the tariff
bill, agreed on by the ways and means
-committee, great crowds were attract
ed to the capitol and every available
-inch of space in the public and private
galleries, save the sections reserved
for the executive and diplomatic corps
was taken. Most of the members who
bad gone home for the holidays had
hurriedly returned and the attendance
on the floor was almost as large as on
the .opening of the session. Many
Senators were also present. Imme
diately after the reading of the jour
nal. Mr. Dingley, the chairman of the
ways' and means committee, reported
- from that committee the revenue bill,
which the speaker immediately re
1 ferred to the committee of the whole
House.
Mr. Crisp said that the committee
minority had had no opportunity to
‘ prepare and file its views.
Mr. Henderson of Iowa, from the
committee on rules, then presented
the special order under which the
House was to operate. It was iron
clad in its character. It provided that
immediately after the adoption of the
order it would be in order to call up
the revenue bill just presented by Mr.
Dingley, and that the debate should
run until 5 o’clock when, without in
tervening motion, the vote should be
taken on tlie passage of the bill.
M r. Crisp called the attention of the
House to the effect of the rule under
which it was proposed to operate, and
asKfil every member to weigh his re
sponsibility when he voted for it. Here
was a bill, he said, that affected every
in terest and all sections of the coun
try which it was proposed to pnt
through under a rule that deprived
the' members of any right' to offer
amendments. It must be taken or re
jected as a whole. What authority,
he asked, was it on the other side ■
which proposed to pass a measure of
such importance under the crack of
the party whip without the dotting
of an "i” or the crossing of a “t”?
.Mr. Dnlzell, Republican of Pennsyl
vania, said there was no one who did
not know that a peculiar exigency was
faced. Referring to Mr. Crisp’s criti
cism* of the cracking of the party whip,
he said the Wilson bill, with >600
amendments, had been passed through
the House after only two hours’ de
bate and under a rule reported by Mr.
„ Crisp himself. He appealed to the
House to rise to the patriotic level
w necessary to meet the emergency and
come to the President's aid.
Mr. McMillen, Democrat, of Ten
nessee. replying to Mr. Dalzell, said
that the difference was found in that
fact that there had been elaborate
.hearings before the ways and means
committee before the Wilson bill was
passed. The present hill had been
completed Christmas day, when there
was no opportunity to consult the
treasury officials, and he declared that
there had been no opportunity toeven
read the bill. He complained of the
cracking of the party whip, and said
in conclusion that the same power
which had asserted itself after the
Fifty-first Congress would again be
,. heard from after this exercise of party
• power.
Mr" Turner, Democrat, of Georgia
called attention to the fact that, both
.Mr. .Cleveland and'Mr. Carlisle, whom
he extolled as the greatest Secretary
- of the Treasury sfnee the days of
Alexander Hamilton, had given Con
gress the highest assurance that there
was ample revenue in the Treasury,
Both the President and the Secretary
of the Treasury had pointed out the
evil in the financial situation and its
remedy. Everybody understood the
stress existing. And what was to be
the responses of Congress? Before all
remedial legislation it was proposed
to put a (iroposition to still further
> bleed and tax the American people.
HENDERSON AROUSES ENTHUSIASM.
Mr. Henderson closed the debate in
a speech which aroused tho Republi
can side to great enthusiasm. There
was, he said, a business matter for a
business people and should be met in
a .business way. The Republicans
were not afraid to assume responsi
bility. His side had been taunted
with working on a holiday. If the
situation demanded it they would
work on Sunday. (Republican applause.)
Democratic politicians had emptied
the treasury. Republican politicians
would fill it. They would right the
ship of state that had been plunging
half seas ander since the Democratic
. party assumed the bridge. A Demo
cratic President had sent to Congress
a declaration of war and three days
afterward had filed a petition of bank
ruptcy. (Republican applause.)
“We are not for war,” continued Mr.
Henderson. “The President demanded
money. We will give it to him. But
we have not declared war, although
war will find as ready. I,et not the
business interests of the country shiver
before this tempest ia a teapot. Tho
country lias assets. The Republican
party has returned to power in the
legislative branch of the government.
It will soon have the executive, and
then never again will our integrity be
put in question. The Democrats ‘had
nq right to complain of whip and spur
and gag after their proceedings on the
Wilson bill ”
NO AMENDMENTS PERMITTED.
At this point Mr. Linney of North
Carolina, after stating that, as a Re
publican, he favored the measure,
, asked if the rule committee order
f would not extend to Democrats the
privilege of offering amendments be
v< fore the vote was taken.
“It will not,” replied Mr. Hender
son. The Democrats applauded this
reply and Mr. Crisp affirmed that the
truth regarding the purnose of the
rule had only been half elicited by
this question and response. Its ob
iect. h<*. said WO* no*. (,nlw *n <ru.<r *}io
Democrats, but to prevent ftepublfe
ans from ottering amendments which
they might deem wise. It was an at
tempt to make the Republicans appear
unanimous. (Democratic applause.)
The rule committee's order was then
adopted—213 to 8S, a striet party vote,
save that Mr. Linney of North Car
oina, and Mr. Connollv of Illinois,
Republicans, voted with the Demo
crats.
At S o’clock, at the close of debate
as set by the rule the bill.was passed
by a party vote, and the house ad
journed. __
WAYS AND MEANS REPORT.
Project! for Temporary Financial Relief
and for Temporary Tariff lacreaae.
Washington, Dec. 37.—Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means com
mittee to-day reported to the House
the tariff and bond bills agreed on by
the majority of the committee. They
were accompanied by the following
reports:
“Your committee regard the chronic
deficiency of revenue for the past two
years and a half as the most potent
cause of the difficulties which the
treasury has encountered and an im
portant factor in the oreation and pro
motion of that serious distrust which
has paralyzed business and dangerous
ly shaken confidence, even in the
financial operations of the govern
ment It is as impossible for a gov
ernment to have continuous deficiency
of revenue for two years and a half
without affecting its financial stand
ing as. it is for an individual. It is
impossible, also for a government to
continue in this condition without
casting a shadow of doubt and dis
couragement over all business opera
tions within its borders.
“Your committee believes that it is
the duty of the House of Representa
tives, to which body the constitution
commits the inauguration of revenue
bills, to frame and pass a measure that
will yield not far from $40,000,000, suf
ficient to put an end to a deficiency
and to do this without delay, too,
leaving to others, whose co-operation
is required, to finally place such legis
lation on the statute books to meet
the responsibility in their own way.
And the President’s special message
setting forth so pointedly the serious
ness of the situation and the necessity
for the promptest action only empha
sizes the duty of the House.
“Your committee have not under
taken a general revision of the tariff
on protection lines as a majority hope
can be done in 1897 or lo98, not only
because they know that such tariff
legislation would stand no chance of
becoming a law, but also because gen
eral tariff revision would require
many months, and the need is more
revenue at once.
“The bill reported by your commit
tee proposes to make the duty on im
ported clothing wool 60 percent of the
duty imposed by the act of 1890, which
would give an equivalent of 6 6-10 of a
cent per pound on unwashed wool, or
about 40 per cent ad valorem. This
reduction from the duty of the act of
1800 has been made because the res
toration of the full duty in that act
might seem to be too great a change
from the present law to those whose
co-operation it is necessary to secure
in order to have any legislation, and
not as a measure of what might be
doue when all branches of the govern
ment are in harmony with the major
ity of the House on protection lines.
The duty on manufactures of wool is
increased by a specific duty equivalent
to the duty on wool. •
“The duty on carpet wools is left at
thirty-two per cent ad valorem, where
it was placed in 1890. This is a purely
revenue duty, as we raise very few
carpet wools.
“Such lumber as was placed on the
free list by the act of 1890, .without
the slightest justification, is restored
to the dutiable list, but with a duty of
only sixteen per cent of the duties
provided by the act of 1890—giving an
equivalent of only about fifteen per
cent Such a reduction from the low
rates of 1890 is justified only on the
ground that the object of your com
mittee haB been to frame a bill-mainly
on revenue grounds, in the hope that
it would secure the approval of those
in official places whose co-operation is
essential to legislation, and who may
be supposed to feel that in such an ex
igency as now exists the public neces
sity must control.
TIIK BOND BILD.
The report on the bond bill says that
the Secretary of the Treasury now has
the authority, under the resumption
act of 1875, to issue and sell ten-year
& per ceut bonds and thirty-year 4 per
cent bonds to maintain the fund for
the redemption of United States notes,
and that lie had sold 100,000,000 of the
former description of bonds anil about
62,00(i,000 of the latter descrtption of
bonds in the last two years, and as he
announces his intention to avail him
self of the authority given by the re
sumption act and sell more high rate
and long term bonds, if necessary, the
only question is whether it is not
clearly for the public interest that he
should have authority to sell a lower
rate and shorter term bond. The
committee thinks that it is clearly in
the public interest that he should have
this authority and adds:
“In granting this authority, how
ever, we have included in the bill a
provision that the proceeds of bouds
sold shall be used exclusively for re
demption purposes, our object being
to secure such a separation of the re
demption fund from the ordinary cash
in the treasury as will maintain and
protect the reserve. We also provide
that such bonds shall be offered for
sale in such a manner as to invite in
vestment among the masses of the
people.”
Of the certificates of indebtedness
the report says: “In our judgment
the Secretary of the Treasury should
always have such authority as this to
meet temporary deficiencies that are
liable to arise. Unless this authority
is given, the Secretary will indirectly
use the proceeds of bonds sold under
the resumption act for redemption
purposes to meet the deficiency in the
revenue, as he lias been doing in the
past two years and a half.”
MUes May Ba Rebuked.
Washington, Dec 27.—-The Presi
dent and Secretary of War Lamont are
seriously considering the advisability
of silencing General Miles. That they
are much incensed by the indiscreet
talk in which the general of the army
has been indulging in regard to the
weakness ot this country's coast de
fenses and the general inability to go
to war with assurance of success can
be positively stated.
PLEADING FOE PEACE"
CONDEMNATION OF THE PRES
IDENT’S MESSAGE. <r.
A Firm Anti-War Meeting In New
York—Thn Chief Executive Denounced
—Henry Qcor(r, Lyman Abbott and
Other Speakers Vent Their Sentiments
—A Tnmultaons Gathering—Some, of
the Speakers Hissed.
Condemn the Message.
New York, Dec. 2C.—Eleven hun
dred people assembled in Cooper Union
last niglit to condemn President Cleve
land's message to Congress over the
Venezuelan boundary line question.
Ernest Howard Crosby presided. He
spoke of the Monroe doctrine as fol
lows:
“We are here to assert all that
stands for the dignity of the American
people and to counteract the froth at
the mouth that has become epidemic
and seems to have taken hold of the
people. We are here to protest
against the errors of the President of
these United States.’’ (Prolonged
hisses and applause.)
The tumult that followed seemed
for the moment as if it would break i
the meeting up. Cries of “put him
out,” “get out.” and the like were
heard from all parts of the hall.
Meantime, the hisses and applause
continued. Just as quiet had been re- ;
stored the speaker continued: “What
is the Monroe doctrine? It is not the
doctrine of Monroe; it is not the doc
trine of Grover Cleveland; it is the
doctrine as interpreted in American
history. When 1 was investigating
Egypt, I was scandalized to find that
Egypt paid an annual tribute of
$•'!,000,000 for which it received no re
turn from Turkey, to whom it was
paid, and who was stealing it. In the
past we have not been much better off.
Have we not stolen California and
Arizona? (Wild cheers.) Have we not
stolen Texas?”
Mr. Crosby went on from this to de
clare that the whole flurry was the
logical outgrowth of the war spirit
that has been gradually growing up in
the country, and which is putting the
schoolboys in uniforms and building
ships that we at least never ought to
need.
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, was the next
speaker. Dr. Abbott said that when
Mr. Oiney says that if Ureat Britain
is allowed to gain possession of 300
square miles of land, 3,000 miles
away, she will use it as a basis for
operations to ’ push acquisitions, the
statement was ridiculous, because she
has already thousands of miles she
could use if so disposed. Nor is this
a question of duty due a downtrod
den sister republic, said the speaker.
“Since Venezuela became a re
public, fifty years ago, she has
been in the throes of internal strife.
On the other hand, British Guiana has
always been a peaceful nation, and
whether the boundary of one be de
creased or the other increased is a
matter that does not concern us.”
(Hand clapping and shouts.)
“I stand here te-night,” said ho, “to
indict this acceptation of the Monroe
doctrine as characteristically and
spiritually un-American. America is
the peace nation of the world. ”
Henry George was the next speaker.
He said, in part: “What reason is
there for this war? I believe in the
Monroe doctrine and have stood for it.
This, however, is not the Monroe doc
trine, and what Grover Cleveland calls
the Monroe doctrine is but a travesty
on it and an utter absurdity.
“I do not believe Grover Cleveland
used Democratic methods with his
message, and I hardly believe he pre
sented it to his cabinet.”
Cries of “yes he did,” and “no he
did not,’’ came from all quarters of the'
hall.
Continuing, he said: “Our business
is to mind our businesa If we want
to interfere in anything, let ns do it
where there is a principle at stake.
The advocates of this war scare do not
mean war. They are playing at poli
tics. ”
Charles Frederick Adams denounced
President Cleveland and his Venezu
elan message severely. His remarks
were received with a storm of hisses,
Rev. W. G. Bliss, associate advocate
of Boston, and Franklin Pierce also
made Bhcrt addresses.
At the conclusion of the last ad
dress the secretary read a letter from
Dr. R. Heber Newton, protesting
against war, and also a resolution
which was put and voted for and
against in the same voice. It was de
clared passed, however. The resolu
tion in substance is that the chair
man of the meeting and the peakers
are appointed a committee to secure
the widest possible opinion to oppose
the warlike methods of the President.
DAMAGES CLAIMED.
An English Family Make* ■ Ridiculous
Demand for 840,000,
Lincoln, Nob., Dec. 20.—Governor
Holcomb has received a letter from
Secretary Oloey, inclosing the request
of the British ambassador for 540,000,
growing out of the assault of the
English family of Dawsons in Nebras
ka by the McCarty outlaw gang.
The Dawsons claim their properly was
damaged to that extent by the alleged
outlaw band. The claim in Nebraska
is regarded as not only ridiculous, but
absurd. Alt the property the Davy
Bons had at the time was contained in
a small wagon drawn by two bron
cos, and the outfit probably worth
$20a They were attempting to trade
horses with Vic McCarty, a local tough,
and the leader of a gang of rufilans.
A free fight resulted, in which the
Dawsons soundly thrashed the McCar
tys, who sought safety in flight. That
was the end of the matter.

WAsniKOTOX, Deo. 20.—Tho Senate
to-day without even dividing, passed
the bill to remove tho political dis
abilities of ex-Con federates.
The Rev. Mr. Milbnrn, the blind
chaplain, in an eloquent prayer on the

sions to current public events by In
voking peace and good will among

.On motion of Mr. Allison of Iowa
the Senate agreed that it would ad

In presenting a bill authorizing ths
Secretary of War to issuo Springfield
rifles to state military organizations
in exchange for old guos, Mr. Hawley
of Connecticut, said: -‘In order that
this shall not be constrned so as to add
to tho war scare I will say that it is
merely a question of business. Many
of the guns in use by state troops are
of antiquated pattern. By tha adop
tion of the Kragg-Jorgenson gun—
whiph I think was a mistake—the War
department lias on hand a large supply
of good Springfield rifles and the na
tional guards should have them in ex
change for the worthless arms.”
Mr. Squire of Washington, spoke
against the injustice of employing for
eign engineers on American ships re
ceiving subsidies from the United
States government, and offered a bill
to overcome the practice.
The project of a pan-American po
litical union, embracing North, Sonth
and Central American republics, was
presented in the Senate to-day by Mr.
Allen, Populist, of Nebraska in tha
following resolution:
“Whereas, Recent events have,
shown that European nations are
making an aggressive attempt to ob
tain a greater foothold on the Ameri
can continent, and
“Whereas, such an attempt shows
the necessity of a closer union of the
American republics,
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Senate that the United States of
America should as speedily as possible
jnvite all Americau republics to enter
into a closer union, to be known as the
Pan-American union, for the purpose
of promoting the general industry and
commercial welfare of the members
thereof and secure said republics from
European or other foreign encroach
ments.”
' Ihe resolution closed with a sugges
tion for a common unit of value be

TWO BILLS DECIDED UPON
Tariff and lionets Will Be Handled la
Separate Acts.
Washington, Dec. 86.—After a long
meeting, in which Speaker Deed, the
Republican members of the House
ways and means committee and other
Republican lenders participated, it
was decided to divide the relief meas
ure to be be introduced in the House
Thursday.
One of the bills will be a tariff meas
ure to increase the revenues. It will,
if signed by the President, continue in
effect until August 1, 1898. It will
J)rovido for wool and woolen duties 60
per cent of the McKinley law rates,
for a duty on lumber 60 ‘per cent of
that of 1890, an increase of 85 per cent
in the present rates on cereal bread
stuffs, dairy products, poultry and
live stock, and a horizontal increase of
15 per cent of all other present rates.
The second bill will provide for two
Issues of bonds. The first is to be an
unlimited issue of three per cent five
year . - >in bonds to protect the geld re
serve, with the provision tbst the cur
rency redeemed by the proceeds shall
not be paid out for current deficits in
the revenue unless the expenses of the
government are in excess of the rev- ,
enues, which it is expected they will
not be if the first bill is in operation.
In addition, the second bill will pro
vide for <ie year t-’-o per cent treas
ury certificates of indebtedness not to
exceed 950,000,000 in amount, and to
be disposed of at the discretion of the
Secretary of the Treasury; to meet
current deficits in the revenue. These
are to be offered for sate at the sub
treasuries and depositories of the gov
ernment. It is possible also, that
there may be added to this bill a plan
to increase the currency by authoriz
ing national banks to issue circnlation
to the par value of all the government
bonds deposited by them with thegow
ernment as security for their notes.

I his stepmother and her son from home
i and then broken up the furniture, and
j declared he would not be taken alive.
I Hindman was upstairs, and when
called on by the sheriff to come down
he responded with a shot from a re
volver, the ball passing through the
sheriff's overcoat and across the breast
j and through the front finger of his
I left hand. The officers ran out and
| Hindman hastened down stairs, shoot

windows several times. He then took
possession of the house, barricaded
the doors and took with him, upstairs,
two repeating rifles, two pistols,
knives, razors and a savage dog.
People were afraid to pass near the
house and the family did not dare to
return home. The county attorney
advised the officers to not kill HincU
man unless in self-defense.
At 1 o’clock this afternoon Sheriff
Glover and a posse of officers secreted
themselves in the adjoining buildings
and soon Hindman appeared on the
porch of the second floor, throw

eight or ten shots were exchanged. A
bullet killed the dog by the side of

SUGAR DUTIES.
Ma Oxnard, President of the American
Sonar Association, Tnlka
Omaha, Meb., Dec., if?.—Et. T.
Oxnard, president of the Amer
ican Sugar Association, says:
“While Congress is placing a duty
upon so many other things why are
the American sugar producers not pro
tected? 1 was surprised to note the
action of the ways and means commit
tee in neglecting this feature. Raw
sugar is produced in the United States
by the rivals of the trusts. The
American producers are struggling
for existence, and an increased duty
on raw sugar is the only practical
method of stimulating the industry in
the United States. The duty on refined
sugar helps the great sugar trust, but
the duty on the raw article assists the
producers of the country generally
and indirectly the great agricultural
interests. A duty of 15 per cent
on both raw and refined would
help the American beet sugar produc
ers, without benefiting the trust,since
the trust must purchase its raw ma
terial abroad. The - production of
every pound of sugar by the American
producers entering into consump
tion in this country means so much
less Dusiness for the trust, hence
the trust is anxious to hinder the de
velopment of the home producer. The
danger is that the ways and means
committee in ignorance of the true
situation will fatally cripple the rapid
ly growing industry of. beet sugar
manufacturing in the United States.

Improved Filtering Fvaatl.
A French photographer hna patented
an Improved filtering funnel for the
use of chemists and drnggiits Those
whose labors include the purifying by
filtration of different combinations of
fluids are frequently annoyed by the
tenacity with which the fitter paper
adheres to the inside of the ordinary
glass filtering funnet as soon as wet,
thus impeding the firee passage of the
liquid through the paper, and concen
trating the whole filtering proaeaa at
the lower apex of the cone. The new
funnel has irregular corrngations or
grooves extending over the entire in
side, and intersecting each other in ir
regular series, which renders it impos
sible for the paper to eling to much of
the surface, and thus brings the whole
surface of the paper Into action.
