Washington, D. C, May 0. The
house went into committee of the whole
immediately after the journal had been
read, and resumed consideration of the
tariff bill, Mr. Dockery of Missouri be
ing the first speaker. He declared that
the surplus in the treasury was then
only an incidental binder. The oppress
ive burden waa heavy taxation. He
favored the enlargement ofthe markets
of the world for agricultural products
and'ao unshackling from all u necessary
and paralyxiDg taxation. He aaid the
farmers were not benefitted by the
present tariff, and ridiculed the idea
that any increase of duty upon wheat
and corn would benefit them. He
favored free wool and a reduction of
the duty upon manufactured products.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan declared
that "'It's theory and not condition
which confronts us." There could be
no condition of theory that legislation
could not remove. The democratic par
ty favored tariff for revenue, the repub
lican party favored tariff for revenue
and protection. Tariff for revenue only
was a step toward free trade, and the
republican party was against it.

MemaJn or Senator Jaaeea Heinle
Hera Arrived at the tapttoL
Washington, D. C, May 7. Shortly
after 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
remains of Senator James Burnie Beck,
accompanied by the congressional com
mittee, arrived at the capitol. The car
riages drew up to the foot of the marble
stairway at the east front of the build
ing and the membere of the committee
arranged themselves on either side of
the steps. The casket was then taken
from the hearse and proceeded by a
committee headed by Senators Black
burn and Evurts, it was carried by eight
of the capitol police into the marble
room. The casket was then placed in
the center of tbe room and the ccuiuiit
tee retired, leaving the active pull-bearers
to set as a guard of honor.
The casket was then opened snd the
doors of the marble room thrown open
to the public foi an hour and a half.
Through the erroneous statement msde
to the effects that tickets for adinission
would be needed, the attendance at this
ceremony was limited as the attendance
at other public function of the United
States Senate has been limited before.
Instead of a struggling crowd, eager for
admittance at the hour of opening of
the capitol doors tlie.e was a quiet,
orderly assemblage which at 11:.T0
o'clock did not fill even the public gal
leries. In the marble room where the remains
were laid in state, a thin line of people
pasted slowly by the collin, glancing in
for a moment at the still face, surroun
ded by its fragrant frame of lilies of the
valley. At the foot of the black casket
was a tastefully arranged spray of
flow, rs, bearing the card, Mr. and Mrs.
C. It BrecWenridge.
In the seoate chamber some very fine
floral pieces had been arranged on the
clerk's desk. A beautiful wreath of
Easter lilies, white carnationsund white
and yellow roses bore the card of Mrs.
Harrison. There was a wreuth of ivy
from Mrs.' Logan and Mrs. Tucker, and
other pieces from Miss Laura B. Cox
and Miss Laura Milliard I'attison.

Chicago, 111, May 6.-Nearly all the
orkers who went out on a strike along
the "Black road" Friday morning re
turned to work this morning, most of
them under the oonditions against which
they rebelled.
At the McCormick works a full force
reported for duty. At the car shops of
Wells, French t Co. two-thirds of the
1,7(10 employes returned to work ot the
former rate of w ages and hours of labor
but it is understood that a new arrange
ment will be entered into upon the re
turn of one of the officers of the com
psnyw hois now in Europe. The em
ployes of the msllesble iron works are
still out, but they expect to effect a
settlement with the compsny in a day
or two.
The condition of the strike and strik
ers in relation to the eight hour move
ment in the planing mills seems to be
somewhat confused and, taken as a
hole, the strike msy be put down as a
failure. At some of the mills the men
have returped to work on the old ten
hour basis. At others the eight hour
day with ten hours' wages has been con
ceded, pe.iding further negotiations,
while at still other shops the eight hour
day has been adopted by proprietors
and eight hours' pay has been accepted
by the men.
Contrary In Their Wl.hee.
Nashville, Tk.nn, May C A curious
condition of affairs exists in James ooim
ty. The present legislature abolished
the county contrary to the wishes of its
citizens, who do not propose to submit.
Although all the offices were abolished,
the officers continue to act and the acts
ef the officials of Hamilton county, to
which James was attached, are ignor
ing. James county is going ahead as
sesing taxes, arresting criininuls and
making deeds and mortgages. The cose
has been appealed to the circuit court.
If the judge decides against the county,
leading citizens declare that thoy will
peacefully secede and organize a little
state uf their own.
