Hear the Ilenult.
The Iionc Anony Over.
WASHINGTON , July 21. When the house
met this morning the galleries were filled
with spectators attracted to the capltol by
the announcement that to-day would witness
the close of the great tariff debate , and the
vote on the final passage of the Mills bill.
Promptly at 11 I'M the bill was called up , ami
Mr. Mills , after offering two
amendments" intended to correct
typographical errors in the bill , moved the
previous question on thorn , and they were
adopted. lie then proceeded to address ttio
house , beginning by stating the conditions of
thefinances , of the government , placing the
surplus at $129UOt,0X ) ( ) . This , ho said , repre
sented the unnecessary taxation drawn from
the people and piled up In tliu treasury. It
was taxation levied upon the products of
labor. This enormous amount of money
was constantly lowering prices and piling an
enormous load on labor and increasing the
benefits of the privileged classes. The ma
jority had attempted 16 bring before the
house a bill to reduce this taxation and lessen
the Inllow of money Into the treasury. Hy
amendments made In committee the whole
relative rate of duty had been placed ntSI'J.ii'J
on the hundred. This moderate bill had
been met with n storm of denunciation and
characterized ns a free trade measure ,
was f-IB.lCJ on $100 frcetradol What state
had a 5 per cent rate of taxation ) In ttie ma
jority of states it did not exceed $1 on $10U.
Mr. Mills then took up the bill in detail ,
beginning with the chemical schedule , where
the rate duty has-been reduced from &W.87 to
23.17. On earthen and crockery ware the
reduction has been ? 7 on $100. They called
that f ice trade. If $52 on $100 taxation was
free trade , in God's name what was protec
tion ! Sugar showed next to the largest re
duction In the bill larger than in hemp , jute ,
iron and in everything except wool. Yet the
bill had boon called a sectional measure. To
get $0,000,000 of protection on sugar the gov
ernment had to collect SliS.OOO.UOO of tariff
duties. In provisions the reduction was $1
in $100. More free trade. It was less than
$1 in cotton goods. Was not that moderate ?
The duty still remaining at $30.07 in wools
nnd woolens , the reduction wns $20 on the
hundred , ami most of thnt had been caused
by placing wool on the free list. The manu
facturer would get free wool and 40 per cent
protection , or 5 per cent moro than he now
got. And still they said the bill was a free
trade measure.
Articles amounting to $ .20,000,000 had been
placed on the free list and $0,390,000 of
that was ' wool. Cotton had been
th6 chief product of this country , yet
the republican party had put it on the free
list , and they wcro right. Hut when it was
proposed to touch wool the combination that
made the protective tariff was struck , and
they said , "You shall not touch it. " The
next article on the free H.-.t was tin plate ,
amounting to $7,700,000. Not fl pound of it
was produced lu this country. The commit
tee proposed to give this money to the con
sumers , yet their action was called free
trade. Salt was next. Hecauso a few people
were interested in its manufacture , the com
mittee wore stigmatized as free traders fet
putting it on the frco list. Hurlap was not
made m this country. It had been placed on
the frco list. Hernp and Jute madoup- !
70J.OOO of the free list. With all the mllli
that could bo given this baby industry it hail
failed to grow. It was dying and must soon
disappear. The republicans had used the
same argument in favor of strikimr down the
sugar industry. Opium paid $103,000. It
bad been placed on the free' list. Cot
ton ties and bristles , the latter pro
iduccd in Russia , had also been placed or
the free list. Yet the committee hat'
.bcr.n.tulintcJ with be inf. frco trailers , Thoii
opponents said : "If youwant anything free

to Appeal to the virtue and intelligence of tin
country. Money was being poured Into his
district in Texas to beat him for ro-olcctloi
to the fifty-first congress , but ho wanted tlu
country to know that the people of his dls
trict were not for solo. The committee hat
reduced the duty on steel rails from $17 tc
611 per ton , nnd again it had been charpei
that that-was uu effort to destroy nn hi fun

Dr. WITT , Xeb. , July 21. [ Special Tele-
rram to Tin : Hii : : . ] This afternoon Kelt
llawcs and James Hoagland were fixing
jrkllcs on a reaper team when the horses
became frightened. Hoaglaud was knocked
senseless before ho knew anything was
wrong. Keturnlng consciousnos ound 1dm
holding the body of Hawes , 'whoso > kull was '
cut to the brain lu"two pla'ces. 'lie
was also nearly scalped and his
neck was broken. He said ' 'God bless
you , Jim 1" and expired. The cause of the
.cam's .fright Is not known. Hawes' body was
dragged ninety feet , and Hoagland'a escape
was a miracle.
Hawes leaves n wife and children and an
aged mother. Their grlof Is terrible. With
shrieks and groans the mother fell upon the
dead form of her son , and his blood was
dabbled upon her clothing. She has gone
nearly insane. Hawes was an unedu
cated man of strong passions.
There are saloon and anti-
saloon parties in Do Witt. A promi
nent druggist , named Harry Millie ,
md prosecuted friends of Hawos , Dave Hop
kins , a bad character , wont behind Millie's
inscription desk the other day and showed a
jottlo of whisky to llawcs , who rushed in at
Lho moment. This Is supposed to have
been a put-up Job. Hawes threat
ened prosecution. Ho was advised
to drop the matter , but being obsti
nate went to Omaha yesterday to lodge a
complaint with the revenue olllco that Millie
Imd no government license. Good citizens
believe Millie in no sense meant to violate
the law. Hawes' death removes the chief
piosecutlng witness. Millie claimed to bo
able to send Ilawes to the penitentiary , but
death stops that. Millie says that it will bo
harder to prove his innocence now that Hawes
is dead. It Is a complicated affair , and
the end is probably not yet.

LINCOLN , Neb. , July 21. [ Special Telegram
to THE 13ii : : . ] The St. Joseph & Grand
Island railroad , in its answer to the order of
the board of transportation of July 5 , rela
tive to distance tariffs , recites that a compli
ance with the order would compel the rca
pondcnts to violate the statute , which de
clares that no advance shall be made in the
rates , fares and charges which have been es
tablished and published by any common
carrier except after ten day's public notice.
That any lowering of the rates fixed in the
tariff schedules of November 1 , Ibbf , would
reduce their earnings so much as to
make it impossible to pay the oper
ating expenses of the road and the
interest on the mortgage debts , thus
forcing the road into bankruptcy.
That many passenger and the fast stock
trains , which are now run at a loss , will of
necessity bo abolished.
That while a similar order may bo in force
in other states , the respondents are prepared
to show that it would be unjust to enforce it
in Nebraska.
The 13. & M. makes the following objec
tions :
The tariffs based on tlie order of the board
will bo unjust to the road and to the best in
terests of the state
The board of transportation has no jurisdiction -
diction in the matter now ) ionding since nc
complaints and no findings of fact have been
made. No such finding has been recorded
and no copy sent to the respondents.
Tno respondent is physically unable tc
comply witli the order of the bourd.-puttlnp
the formula into effect July 20 , on account ol
the limited time and the amount of work
required.
The railroad cannot legally comply with
the order because it would raise the r.atos on
certain classes , which cannot bo do'no with
out first givimr ten days' notice.
The Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
and the Sioux City & Pacific jointly make
answer as follows :
That the board has ino. jurisdiction , because -
cause the order applies4 also to lifter-state
trafllc. * vri
That the order is too indefinite anuV uncer
tain to command compliance. *
That the order is illegal in that it would
raise rates without the ten day > ' notice re
quired by law.
That there is no finding of facts in the rec
ords of the board upon which' the order car
bo based.
That there are no findings of fact or any
thing in the order showing that the roads
have violated any law.
That there are no findings of facts to show
that the board found the rates in force to ut
unreasonable or unjust.
That the board has made no findings ol
facts showing that the-rates ordered on Julj
5 are unreasonable or unjust.
Thnt the rates adopted by the roads about
November 1 , 1877 , were really too low am !
more than Just to the shippers and merchants
of the state , and have never been com
plained of.
That the business of the railroads docs not
wairant any such reduction as that ordered
and that these rates would be contrary tc
the Interests of the respondents and of tlu
general public.

A QUESTIONABLE TRIUMPH ,
The Passage of The Mills Bill By

Unpopular.
WASHINGTON HUIIHAU THE OMAHA. Bun , )
518 FouitTiKXTiiSTiiKir : , v
WASIIINOTOX , U. C. , July SI. I
It was by n majority which formed mi un
lucky number thirteen thnt the Mills bill ,
by dint of the administration's force , passed
the house of representatives to-day. Less
than half a dozen members \vcro absent.
There was a great erowd in the galleries and
the corridors of the capltol , and the excite
ment Incident to the final action on the bill
was great. Thcro was nothing now In the
last appeal of Uhtilrinan Mills in behalf of
his measure. It was the same old story of
cheap goods for the laboring man. Ho de
nied that his bill was a free trade measure.
This said and the whole of his speech is
known.
Thcro was a dramatic incident Just before
Mr. Mills took the lioor to speak for his bill.
Representative Sowden of Pininsylvania who ,
although a democrat , voted against the bill ,
devoted two or three hours of hard work this
morning tryintr to soi-uro a pair for Mr. Kan-
dull who , of course , Is an enemy of the Mills
bill , and who , being ill , could not bo present
to record his vote. Mr. HumltiU was so
anxious that'his vote should not bo lost at
this perilous time that he sent an urgent re
quest throuch Mr. Sowdcn to a number of
his personal Iriemls who were in favor of the
bill , but they all refused to bo paired , say
ing , that Mr. Mills had placed an injunction
upon every friend of the measure to vote for
it and to refuse to pair with Mr.
Kumlall. The latter stated to Mr.
Sowdon that if it was not possible to secure
a pail1 for him that he would ho carried to
the Itoflse of representatives and would cast
his vote against the Dill if it cost him his
life. Mr. Hogg of West Virginia , a demo
crat in favor of the Mills bill , is * a personal
friend of the Pennsylvania protectionist , and
When ho learned that Mr. Randall was so
anxious to bo paired and had threatened to
be carried to the house to vote if lie could
not secure a pair , lie went to Mr. Sowden
and told him that ho was willing to be paired
with Mr. Uiindall. Mr. Hogg met Mr.
Mills near ttio cloak room on the democratic
side just before the latter took the iloor and
was accosted about pairing with Mr. Kandall.
Mr. Hogg .stated that lie had paired with Mr.
Kandall , it was true , but that inasmuch as
lie had supported the Mills bill in every step
it Imd taken in the house , ho felt at perfect
liberty to exorcise his own will over his vote
in this instance. Mr. Mills began to rail at
the member from West Virginia when the
latter turned upon him and gave him a
tongue lashing w'hioh lie will not soon forget.
Although there was immense applause on
the democratic side when the vote on the hill
was announced , there is in reality very little
cnthiiplasui among the democrats. Representative -
sentative Campbell of Ohio , who is one of
the shrewdest politicians and statesmen on
his side of the house in congress , expressed
himself on the work of the day immediately
after the honso tool : a recess , and what Jir.
Campbell said is in substance the Jcolitig of
a large number of democrats. Ho said : "I
voted for'tho Mills bill , and wo have passed
It by a larger majority than wo anticipated
when the compilation of the measure was
begun. It is true , also , that we secured throe
republican votes and lostftutfour democrats ,
but 1 have a premonition that wo hiivo made
a bad Job of it. You see , I sit on the floor of
thohouso rightin the centcrof the democratic
members ot the ways and means committee. 1
have been telling them for months that it
was a .fatal error to put wool on the free list
and to make such a small reduction of the
duty on sugar. I can go to the ma ) ) and put
my thumb on all the territory in the United
States that produces sugar , while there Is
not a county in the country that does not
grow wool. I don't understand why other
wise long headed men on our side of the
house have been demanding free wool as the
great panacea of tariff reform. I do not ex
pect to stec more than four or live democratic
members returned to the next house from
my slate. I am not a candidate for reelection
tion and I do not want the nomination be
cause I do not believe I could bo re-
elected. I am what you could term a
mild protectionist , and yet I have
voted for bill witli strong free trade tenden
cies. If this bill means anything it means a
long step towards free trade , because it has
put many of our leading productions on the
free list. There may bo nothing in the fact
that wo. passed the bill by a majority of thir
teen an unlucky number , but I have a gen
eral feeling that the Mills bill as a whole
will bo unpopular before the country , and
that it Is a mistake. I voted for it because 1
did not feel tnat I ought to reluso to accept
the Judgment of the 100 men in my party in
the house. "
The democratic members of the senate
committee on llnanco are * demanding that the
committee shall take some action on the
Mills bill , which will reach the committee on
Monday. They say that the measure must
bo taken up and gone over item by item and
paragraph tby paragraph , and they will not
permit it to bo throun into a pigeon-holo
without any attention. If they persist in the
UHinand there is no prospect that the tariff
bllNyill bo placed on the senate calendar be
fore tlio 1st of September , and if the repub
lic-aim continue to hold to the conclusion that
they should pass a tariff bill before congress
adjourns there will bo no adjournment till
about the 1st of October , which is the date
Senator Edmunds has predicted congress
Will finally adjourn. There aio at least two
i cpubltcan senators and ono democrat who
mo reported to bo uimlteiably oppjsou to any
action at tills session on the turitf , and it maybe
bo that the republicans will finally conclude
that it 'will bo Hiinii'Ient for them to agree tea
a bill and place it on the calendar and then
permit congiois to adjourn.
