London , Fob 14 , The Star ( T. P. O'Conf
nor's i paper ) asserts that the Parnoll com
missions : report is a triumphant acquittal of
all the accused Particltlto members of the
commons <
'J ho Froomnn's Journal says theParnellito
members of the commons uro acquitted all
ulongtho line The report , it says . Is virtually -
ally a verdict against their accusers
The Express says that the report indicates
the work of the land league was connected
with the increase of crime In Ireland
The Pall Mall Gazette says that the report
of the special commission is a morocomplcto
vindication of the Parnellites una a more
swooping condemnation of the Times than
the most sangulno of the homo rulers ven1
turod to hope for
The St James Guzotto says it will bo a
inonatrous perversion of the report to deduce -
duce therefrom a general verdict of
not guilty Parnell and his as
sociates wcro found guilty of
criminal conspiracy maintained "by Incite
inonts from which crime directly oiisuod
Parliament would not go beyona its right if
It expelled them ub though they wore uctu-
ally convicted
The Glebe says the report will henceforth
bo supreme authority on the history of the
land lcaguo It can not bo appealed to for
ono purpose nnd not for another , therefore
those quoting from it to provo the acquittal
of the Parnellites of certain charges will log
Ically bo compelled to admit they wora guilty
of criminal conspiracy

opposition In the commons today Parnell 1
naked what action tbo government proposed I
to take upon the report of the commission ,
Smith the government leader , replied that
thu ministers bad not had time to decide on
a course
The debate on the address was resumed
Parnoll moved an amendment asking the 1
repeal of the coercion uct Ho at-
tacliod the potty persecution which 1
the government dally Indicted upon 1
many persons and the coercion act under
Balfour Almost every act of Ualfour
Parnoll said , appeared directed toward 1 :
drlvintr lho people of Ireland to crime The '
lcaguo of today , Purnell said , differed
widely from tbo land loagu o of 18S0 , and 1
Ualfour could not plead as nn cxcubo that
crime was bolng rovlved On the contrary , i
tbo people were quiescent in oxpoctution 1
of boon obtaining their rights Tbo 1
action of tbo government tended to own Its 1
defeat and could not succeed in turning the 1
tide of the aspirations of the Irish people
Wcbstor , the attorney general , charged 1
Parnell with making ucsusatlons against 1
Ualfour without evidence to support his
nllegations
lho party leaders in commons decline to
give opinions on the Parnell report The J
Irish nationalists hold that it improves tholr
position , ' 1 hey critlcizo it freely and point I
out various errors and anomalies In it

Wasiunoton D. C. Feb 14. )
The republicans nro by no means n unit onn
the tariff question
They nro all agreed that a reduction of the
revenue | should bo made to the extent of 150-
000,000 or $00,000,000 yenrly , but concerning
the ) mannor'in which it shall bo done and the
articles from which they shall bo removed
they are as far apart as over , lho great
majority of tlio party In both houses of con
gross favor the reduction of the duty on sugar
to about SO per cent of the pi esent rate and a
ropcnl of the internal revenue tax on tobacco
• and alcohol used In the arts Others want
the sugar tax removed entirely , whllo still
moro dent want It touched , and think a repeal -
peal of the tobacco tax will bo sumclont to
bring the revenues down to tbo nnpual ncc-
cssary expenditures of the government with
a llttlo margin for tbo sinking fund and the
rcdomptlon of bonds
Tbo boot sugar mon of Nebraska nnd
,
Kansas have combined with n cano grower
of Louisiana to maintain the present duty ,
and they uro sustained by the powerful in-
lluonco j ] of the sugar trust , which docs not
want the existing conditions disturbed The
sugar trust docs not want /reo sugar , and
their attorneys In U'ashlngtan nro using all
possible persuasion with members of cou-
gross to convince them that the abolition of
the tobacco tax will tiring the rovenucs
down to the proper figure These who nro
opposing the lemovulof thosugurtariff have
recently received two powerful reinforce
ments from unexpootod quarters , I refer to
Mr Ulaino and the international American
conference It Is no longer a secret that the
conference , which has been working quietly
and with an endeavor to withhold its trans
actions from the public , has under consider
ation ' the question of reciprocity troatics and
will recommend to the several governments
]
represented mutual concessions In the Bhapo
of a removal of duties upon the peculiar pro
ducts of each when imported into the ports
of the others The Central und South
American nations that produce sugar , nnd
all but three of them are in tbo list , are
willing , to reduce tbolr duties upon flour ,
provisions ] , refined petroleum , lumber nnd
ether ( necossancs when imported from this
country provided the United Stutos will remove -
move j the duty upon sugar produced within
their territory They feel that suob an
arrangement , will not only bring tbo
products | I bavo tnoutlonod within the roach
of ' the common people among their inhab
itants ' , but will stimulate tbo enter
prise 1 und industry , of tbolr planters
who find it difficult to compete with
tbo Blavo labor of Cuba und the coolie labor
of Trinidad und tbo French , English and
Dutch Guinea colonics There is nothing
but sugar that tbo United States can now
offer in exenange , and it is argued tnat such
a ' reciprocal -orrangomont will not only re
sult ' in this necessary reduction of rovenucs ,
but ' will largely Increase the export of our
farm products and petroleum and lumber
II wo remove tno duty on sugar without
asking ' any concessions from them tbero
will bo no further opportunity for recip '
rocity treaties , as that is the only article
Imported from these countries that is now
taxed in our custom bouses Such treaties
would result in reduclug the sugar rovenueo
about 60 per cent , for the tax upon that
portion of our supply that comes from
Cuba and the European colonies in South i
America would remain as bo-
fore Mr Blaine is particularly Interested [
in having tbo sugar duty remain undisturbed [
as bo is already at work arranging tbo i
reciprocity treaties with Mexico und Urazil , :
the two countries from which our greatest
supply of sugar would couio and to which
our exports of flour , provisions , refined I
petroleum aud lumber have tbo greatest In
crease Each country has a population of :
l'J.OOO.OOO of people , or 21.0JO.OOO in all , and [
the duties imposed by them upon our farm i
products are eo high us to almost prohibit
their use by tbo common people The agi-
tation in congress of the question of remov
ing the sugar tax naturally interferes with
the negotatioas Mr Ulaino Is now carrying
on and has recently bad u consultation with
the republican members of tbo senate committee -
mitteo on finance and the house committee
on ways and moans on this sub
ject , Mr John W. Foster , form
crly minister to Mexico and now the
attorney of the legation of Mexico nt Wash
ington , has gene to Mexico to confer with
Prcsidont Diaz upon the practicability of ro-
viving the reciprocity treaty that was ar
ranged by General Grant and and Minister
Homoro ten years ago , but was never > car
rled into effect because of tbo neglect of our
congress to provide tbo necossaryJogtslation ,
Mr Fosters return is uwaitod with Interest
WAT8 AND MEANS WOItK
Notwithstanding their diverse sentiments
the republican members of the committee on
wuys and means have practically agreed to
include in the tariff bill they are preparing J
provision reducing the duty on sugar 50 per
cent , They are working on the bill with
great industry during the morning hours at
tbo commlttea room nnd nonrly every evening
7
ing ut the apartments of Major McKinley ,
Tlisy intend to have the bill completed so as
to report to the house by Monday , the
81th Inst , and will call It up for coosid-
oration as soon thereafter as possible , proba-
blyon the ild of March
REACIIINQ I1ACKWAHD.
There Is pending before the house committee i-
mitteo on labor a bill which if passed will
take millions of dollars from the treasury
It provides that whoever has been employed
as a laborer or mechanic by the government
of the United States since Juno 25 , 18(58. ( the
data of the passage of the eight hour law r. ,
shall bo paid for all the time bo has worked
in excess of olclit hours a day and that ho ,
may bo authorized to bring his claim before
the court of claims to bo adjusted on the
basis that eight hours constitutes a days
work , und that court is authorized to give
judgment against the United States to each
claimant for the amount found to bo duo )
The committee will report the bill shortly
and that it will pass the house if it ever gets
to a vote is certain , although it Is not likely
to go through tbo sonalo The bill will
reach every man who has boon employed
ns a laborer or workman for
tbo government and it Is said that between
81,000,000 und (3,000,000 worth of claims will
bo brought by the laborers In the various

The Bee of yesterday morning published
the story which led to the dtscovorv of the

Dr Pmnoy of Council Bluffs owns a ,
beautiful farm in the vicinity described
above About tbo 1st of last December bo
rented it for a year to A. B. Cad
walladcr , who has resided for the past year
n the Hughes farm , which is located
between Council Uluffs und Manuwn Mr
Cudawalladci' bad mndo preparations to
move which , however , had not boon
completed But as there was some stoclc
which the doctor desired to winter on tbo
Seymour farm , it was necessary for some
ono to stay there Accordingly , Mr Cad
walladcr made urrangomunts for Ills wlfo's
parents l , who weio visiting a son , Natbnn
Jones , at Irvington , flvo miles north of the
fnrm 1 , to move down and look otter the uni-
mals
UNTIL IIr SHOULD MOVI1 [
to | this side of the river
The old coupln went to the farm about the
,
middle ' ot December nnd was visited every
weolc by Mr Cndwalladcr Ho called on
them I on the 3d of this mouth and took ever
some i provisions Ho told thorn that ho was
going to Chicago with some cattle for Leonard
]
ard Wnrnor , the Chicago stock dealer , who
bas . a largo stock farm in this county , and
that ho would move ever to tbo farm'as
soon as ho returned , Ho told thorn that his
'J ' (
wife , their daughter , would visit them while
]
bo was gone , und see thnt tholr
WANTS WElti ; LOOKED AFTEn
On Monday last Mr CudWalludor loft for
Chicago . On Tuesday Mrs Cadwollador nnd
her Blopson drove ever , and were surprised
to find the front door open NoBignoftbo
old ' elks could bo discovered A coffeepot
was ' frozen on the steve The dishes had ,
been 1 washed and put away , but the bed wus
not : disturbed , and the appearances Indi
cated ' that the couple had left In the early
ovoninf ' Mrs , Cadwullador supposed that
they i had gonu over to Irvington to vnlt the
son i who was sick , nnd had como homo without
suspecting , that iinything was wropg ,
Thursday the son drove down from Irv
ington to call on his parents and found things
just as they bad been soon by Mrs Cadwal-
ladcr , his sister He could nttrlbuto no rea
son ' for tholr dlsnpponrunco and scarchod the
farm from ono end to the other No traca
could < bo found in the house , collur , barns
or i wall All of the stock was gene and tbo
place was deserted , Ho wont ever to Cad
wallader's , near Manawa , und then to Dr
Pinnoy In the Bluffs As might be supposed
his story cnusud lho groatcst excltemont
After carefully oxamiiiing into the matter
the theory was advanced that the old couple
were abducted nnd taken away by the thieves
who bad . stolen the stock
What had bciomo ot thorn wns ot course
a matter of conjecture , but soma people be
lieved that tboy had boon murdered It was
not thought that the old folks would drive
away the stock , as Mr Jones was seventy
ono and his wife sixty years of ago An
evidence that they loft in a hurry was that
tbo old lady had loft bor spectacles ilia
only pair she had , und her pipe and tobacoo ,
Tbo stock taken was valued at f 1,500 und
comprises the following :
Ono llea-blt gray mare about ten year *
old ; ono chestnut mare , in foal ; ono thrco
