members of the ways and means commlt'.eo
.tlcalty agreed upon every point of dlvl-
i on the tariff schedules and reductions
t bo made from the Internal revenue , and
will present the bill to the full committee for
Its consideration before the end .of ttio wcok ,
The clause relating to carpet wool and ono
or two other articles is not yet finally and
definitely passed upon. While the bill Is not
Absolutely completed , nnd will of course bo
RUbJect to revision , it Is believed to bo sub
stantially a llnlshcd measure so far as the
majority of the committee Is concerned.
The internal revenue features of the bill
nro as follows : The entire abolition of all
Bpcclul taxes upon dealers of nil kinds , com
monly known na licenses ; taxes upon snuff
repealed. Fanners nnd planters growing
tobacco have liberty to soil to whomsoever
thny please without restraint In the sumo
manner ns any farmer can dispose of any
other products. The tax uppn manufactured
tobacco will bo reduced to1 cants ; cigars ,
cheroots nnd cigarettes , snuio tax as now.
Alcohol used In the arts Is frco under sub-
Btanttally the same restrictions proscribed
in the sonata bill. The reductions In the
revenue from those sources will be in round
numbers between $17,000,000 and $19,000,000.
The following nro the pilnclpal provisions
In the tariff . schedules : The chemical

ns In the existing law. Thcro are n number
of Important changes in the metal sched
ules.

Is below the duly on that kind of Iron enter

duction of about ? 4 n ton and a reduction in
the rate ilxcd by the senate bill. Uhoduty
on rails is reduced n Ion.
The duty on tin pinto Is Increased to " 2-10
ccntB a pound. Pig tin remains frco. It is
believed with this encouragement our tin
pltuo will bo manufactured In this country.
Already wo mukosl.out tin and sheet steel ,
which is 05 per cent tin plato and with a-
nuranccs that there Is tin In the Black Hills ,
it is thought n great Industry will spring up.
Thcro is an increase in the duty on pocket
cutlery whlcn the committee justifies upon
lha ground of the depressed condition of
that industry in tha United Stales and the
nhnip and ruinous competition already felt
'rom Germany.
Gun barrels are placed upon the free list.
Hand sowing noodles nro also placed upon
the free list.
The now metal aluminum is given n des
ignation for tha ilrst tlmo under "metals uud
manufactures" thereof nnd is made dutiable
ut 87 per cent ndvalorum.
In the lumber schedule the duty on sawed

the rates under the existing laws ,
The dutv on Sumatra tobacco is increased
"
to $3.75 per pound. .
Thcro Is an increase generally along the
or.tlro list In the duties on agricultural pro-
duets. The duty upon barley is raised to SO
cents n bushel , hops to 15 cants .a pound ,
buckwheat to 10 cents a bushel , macaroni
and vermicelli U cents n pound , oats 10 cents
a bushel. The duty on agricultural seeds Is

duty on eggs Is raised to 5 cents n dozen , po
tatoes to 6 cents a bushel. Hides , which
uro now on the frco list , nro made dutiable
nty \ cents a pound. Thcro is u small In
crease in the dutv upon fruits. An advance
in duties generally bus boon conceded the
farming interests where if is believed the
increased duties will benefit the farmers.
Spirits , wines and other beverages have
been loft as found In the existing laws. Salt
ulso has not been touched. The cotton man-
, ufucturas are loft substantially us In the
sonata bill.
.Tuto , manlla and sisal grass are put upon

round ; second class , known ns combing
wools , 13 conln ; carpet wools valued ut 12
cents or less , ! % cents n pound ; valued over
12 cents , S cents a pound. This is n reduc
tion of Ijij cents a pound from the
Hannto bill and on increase of ! } < $ centa
from the present law. It is btllovad , however -
over , that tha definitions and classifications
nnd restrictions provided for will uinko this
duty oven moro valuable to the wool grow
ers than the duty tlxcd by the sonata bill.
In ttio Mills bill wool was put on tha frco
list nnd the duty given to the manufacturers
of woolen fabrics wus from -10 to 45 per cent.
AH this bill inultes wool dutiable It gives
compensation to the manufacturers
for Iho duly Impound on wool. The difference
between the duty plvon the manufacturers
by the Mills bill und the proposed measure
is only 10 tier tont. After giving to the
manufacturers a compensatory dutv. for the
duty on wool , yarns and cloths uro made
tlutlnblo at 40 per centiul valorem jiddltionul ,
i\3olon goods utCO per cent nnd ready made
clothing at 00 per cent. It is understood
though that thcro is sonio division in the
committee upon the subject.
For the encouragement of silk ctiltura in
the United Stains a duty will bo recom
mended on raw silk.

Among the now legislative provisions pro-
] > osed In the bill Is ono that no importations
Bhall bo made Into tha United States which
do not show plainly the country from which
tlio.v are imported. This U dona la order to
put n stop to the practlco which has become
very common of sending foreign goods Inlo
the Unllod Slalos with American brands
thereon , the purpose bolng to dccolvo the
imblio und to have the wares supplant
American goods which have established rep
utations. The bill also repeals that section
of the statutes which glvoi to the United
States and contractors under it tbo right to
Import supplies Into this country frco of
duty. By this means it Is Intended to ro-
qulro the Unilod Statoi ami all U * oOlccrs
und contractors to bo bound by tho. laws
which it establishes for Its citizens.
It is estimated by tbo farmers that tha tar
iff bill will reduce > ' .a rovenucs about
500,000,000. Of tills reduction fL'0,000,000 to
f37,000,000 will bo secured by the cut

AVIIjD TUMiS IUS STORY.
Ills Testimony Substantially in Ao
cordaticu With Prior Statements.
Cincvao , March IS. The court martial for
the trial of Lieutenant Steclo of thu Eighth
United Stales cavalry , assembled at noon
today , and after formally organizing pro
ceeded to hear the testimony of Private Dell
P. Wild , the complaining witness. '
Wild told lib story as follows : Ho had
been ordered , ho said , to carry u piece of
canvas. to Lioutoimut Stcelo's headquarters.
Ho was told to taka it to the back yard ,
where bo was men by Lieutenant Stcelo ,
who requested him to assist in placing thu
canvas on a storm root leading from Stoclo'a
back door to on outhouse. " 1 didn't think
ho had nny right to ask me to do that , " con
tinued Wild , "und so I said : 'Lieutenant , I
refuse lo do that work because X don't have
to act ns servant to no officer. If you ask
me to split or carry In wood I'll
do it , but I won't do nothing
of this kind. I think it is menial work. " Ho
then called mo u deserter and swora at me ,
and llnally struck mo in the face , knocking
my hat into a tub of water. I then started
out of his yard , when ho ordered mo to halt ,
nnd had mo placed under arrest. I was
taken to the quarters nnd then got permis
sion to go back and got my cup , which was
still in a bucket In the lieutenant's yard.
Corporal Scott took me back , and when I
got to the gate Stoclo says , 'What do you
wantl' and I says , 'I want my cap , sir,1 and
ho says , 'Get It and got out ot here. ' I wont
back to the quarters , where I staid until I
was tried in November. I was imprisoned
from the 24th of October until the trial. "
The defense then examined Wild nnd at
tempted to prova that ha hud frequently ex
pressed the wish that ho had kilted Lieuten
ant Steolo.
In reply to a question as to the truth of
this statement Wild replied :
" 1 refuse to answer that question. It aln 't
got nothing to do with this case. I ain't on
trial hero. "
Ho finally admitted that ho had said that
ho would rather have killed Steele than to
struck him. "Because , " ho said , "I could
got justice in a United States court , but I
can't get no justice in u military court. "
"Did , you over join the United States
uraiy under the name of E. P. Wnrdl"
asked the counsel for the defendant ,
" 1 object" suid the Judge udvooato , "ou
tha ground that that is Irrolevcnt to this
case. "
Tno attorneys argued tha point and tha
court retired with n great clunking of side
arms to the nnto-rooui to consider the
question. They returned after several min
utes absence and sustained the objection ,
Lieutenant Crowd or then asked permis
sion to bring Into court ono McCouins , who
had known Wild under the alias of Ward.
The court again retired to the council
chamber nnd this time ruled In fuvor of the
defendant. McComns was than called und
In his presence Wild was uskod if McComns
was not his ( Wild's ) sergeant In the Filtconth
Infantry. The judge udvocuto objected
again and was sustained.
After hearing one other witness , Corporal
Spelt of the Fifteenth Infantry , In corroboration -
boration of Wild's story , which completed
tbo case for the complainant , the court took
u recess till 11 o'cloul : to-rnoirow morning.

513 FOURTEENTH SHIEST.
WASHINGTON. D. C. , March 18.
Postmaster General Wanamakor and Gen
eral Tyncr wcro attentive listeners to the
argument in fuvor of postal telegraphy de
livered by Mr. E. Hosowator today before
the post offlcn committee of the houso.
They both pronounced it tha most Instruct
lvo and Interesting discourse they had heard ,
Thu members of the * committee also express
themselves highly gratified at the array of
facts and the wide range of Information pre
sented by Mr. liosowator.
Quito u sensation was created when ho
produced nn ofllclal report of the quarter
master general for 1SOO which discloses the
fuct that over fifteen thousand miles Of
uMltary telegraph nnd 200 miles of
cable were turned over on .February
-7 , 1SCO , to the toloeraph com
panies without pay or any other equiv
alent except a cancellation of pretended
claims for Invasion of patent rights.
A running debate with members of the
commlttoo which followed the debate throw
much light on points that had not been here
tofore explained by any other person on
cither sldo.
It was oxpcctcd that Dr. Norvin Green
would ask for another hearing next Friday
to counteract if possible some of tha dis
closures that wore made before the commit
tee today.
Mr. Evans of Chattanooga is chairman of
the sub-commlttco of the house committee on
postofllces nnd postroads having the Wnnu-
nmkcr postal telegraph bill in charge. Ho
listened with close attention to Mr. Rose-
water's ' statements today and this evening
said : ' 'Mr. Kosowater presented an argu
ment which is simply unanswerable as to
why the government should control the tele
graph In time of war , and I think tils argu
ment In fuvor of government control at all
times cannot be refuted. I notice that
President Green has just asked the com
mittee to give him a further hearing
Mr. Kosewator's ' statements were the most
practical and contained the greatest amount
of common sense of any that have been
made before the committeo. Ho has shown
that a largo amount of telegraph property
acquired by the government during the wur
has been turned over to tdo lolegrnph com
panies ; that grunt roads have Joined the
monopolies , turning ever 'their lines to the
Telegraph compunies in defiance of the con
tracts , and bus in fine presented every
argument that a practical mind could conceive -
coivo in fuvor of his position. I do not know
ihut the committee will report tbo
Wanamaker proposition , but I urn confident
it will report in favor ot Homo kind of an ar
rangement In sotno degree similar to that
one. Mr. Hoscwater made hla position es
pecially tenable and above criticism by not
advocating any spcciul firm of postal tele
graphy and by not attaching the telegraph
companies viciously , keeping In perfect hu
mor. Ho howad himself to bo working for
the public good. " " '

There wns a ruther remarkable dinner nt
the white house hist night.Tho president
invited Senators 4)awcs ) , Aldrich , Allison ,
Hiscock , Merrill and Jones of the senate ,
and Messrs. MeiCtnloy. Burrows , Cannon
Conger and Blnghum , of the house to dine
with him Informally , It being understood
that matters of public policy wore to bo dis
cussed during the evening. Tno'dlnnor was
carlior than usual and WAS servedIn , the
private dining room. After thu menu was
half llnished the president Introduced the
subject of the tniiff und asked how
the committee on wavs and means
were gutting ulong with their bill. Mr. Mc-
Klnloy explained the situation , while all of
iho gentlemen around the table , understand
ing iho significance of the question , gave"
him their attention. The president then
uskcd Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Allison what
prospect the bill would have in the sonata
when it reached that body. They told him
they would bo able to pass it in good ardor ,
provided 11 conformed to tbo policy repre
sented by the bill reported and passed by
the last session. The president then ex
pressed himself very warmly upon the sub
ject of the tariff , explaining that In his
opinion the interest of thu country de
manded that there should bo a reduction of
the revenue particularly on articles of food
and the necessaries of life. There wan n
good deal of tooling , he explained , particu
larly In the northwest ngulnst maintaining
the tariff that hud been imposed during the
war. The republican party wus pledged to
reduce the revenues , and tba duty better bo
cut down oven it the government was com
pelled to economize In order to mono both
ends moot.
Then the silver question wns tnkon up nnd
thu president asked Mr. Conger , chairman
of the house committee on coinage , weights
ami measures , what the prospect was In the
house for that kind of legislation. Mr. Con
ger thought it was entirely probable that the
Wlndom bill would pass very much us it had
been decided upon by the committee ,
but when the president nsked Mr. Aldrich
what prospect the bill would hnvo
in thu senate ho wns Informed
that the commlttea on finance had already
reported a substitute which differed from
the measure which Mr. Windom had already
prepared , nnd that they would Insist on Its
passage ) and agree to no other , whereupon
Mr. Jones of Nevada spoke quito freely and
ttxplulnod to the president the character of
the sonata bill. .Tho most remarkable feat
ure about It , ho said , was that it had been
unanimously agreed to by iho senate committee -
mitteo on finance and was the only financial
measure that had over been endorsed to
such an extent by that committee.
Any measure , ho said , was re-
markQblo that could secure the
approval of Mr. Merrill and himself , but tha
Wlndom bill was not so popular , The prcsl-
dent did not engage in u controversy , but
intimated rather strongly that In his opinion
thu Wlndom bill covered the case about ns
well as could be devised und ho was particu
larly anxious for the passage pf some sort of
u measure.
THE NEW TAJIUT 11ILX , .
The republican members of the committee
on ways and means have finally agreed upon
a Uriff bill und will report It to the roll committee
mitteo tomorrow. As stated In these
dispatches on Monday morning , there were
three points at issue , the duty on sugar being
the most Important. On this the western
members agreed to a compromise ami tha
duty ou all grades of sugar up to und Includ
ing No. ID was placed ut 85 per cent ad-
vulorom , and all grades above 10
nt 40 per cent. Thu It is esti
mated will make n reduction from
sugar of from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 a year ,
' 1 ha next | > olnt ut Issue , which wus the
duty on carpet wool , has boon pouted also
by a compromise. The duty on/ coarse wool
Is placed at 3Jf cents a pound in order to
afford iho tnorlno wool men the protection
which they Insist is necessary against tbo
adulteration of tluer wools with the coarse
varieties in the manufacture of clothing , but
a concession bus bean made tq the carpet
manufacturers in a provision which gives
them a rebate on all coarsa wools uaod In the
manufacture of carpets. In Other words , all
coarse wools of class U Introduced Into this
country will ha > u to pay a duty of 8K cents
nor pound , but they pan bo stored in a
bonded warehouse until uied and upon
proper oviduuco that t-oy wcro used In the
manufacture of carpotA n robuto will bo
paid. / .
On the third polnv.whtoh wns leal ores ,
the committee decided Vi sustain the decision
of Secretary Wmdom ijad f placed the tax nt
\M rants n pound. <
i'hablllnsit stands j satisfactory to all
except the northwestern members , who
have been Insisting nil the ' white
that sugar should KODU the , frco Hit , but they
hnvo secured a reduction of almost 70 per
cant from the prosttl tariff and feel very
well satisfied , knowing they cannot got nny
moro. The bill wilt bo printed tonight , re
ported to the full cjpimlttoo tomorrow , nnd
Mr McKlnloy oxpccp to got it Into the house
not later than Saturday or Monday next.
when bo will give mulpothat it will bo called
up for action about the llrst of April ,

tha measure , said to j-our correspondent to

very little opposition.-1 ! Ho said the measure
was Just and was in. conformity with the

through here this morning on route Irom
Colorado , wlioro ho had gene to arrest the
supposed murdcror of Sherman , iioar Oak.
Shorlft Warden did not have his prisoner
with htm , but had linn lodged In jail lit Ster
ling , Colo. , and will return and bring htm as
soon ns the proper requisition papers itro ob
tained. From him particulars of the nrrost
of Slovens and the lull particulars of the
murder , as confessed by the young man , nro
obtained. Shorlft Warden reached Sterling
on Friday last and learned tlmt. the Stevens
family , consisting of the father and mother
of the youthful murderer , resided about
thirty miles cast of that placo. Procuring : *
toum.ho drove out to the placo. Entering the
hutnblo sod cabin of the aged couple ho saw
a young man seated tlicro whom ho at once ,
from the description that had been ( given
him , recognized as Charles Stnvons. With
out further ceremony the sheriff told Stevens
ho had n warrant for his arrest , to which
Slovens replied : "What for ! " The sher
iff said. It was for the murder of Charles
A. Sherman on or about February 11 , near
Oak , Nuckolls county , Nebraska. To this
young Stcvuiu , ull trembling wilh emotion ,
replica : "I don't deny it , and thcro is the
gun I shot him with , " pointing to a single-
barrelled , 12-gaugo shotgun standing in or.o
corner of the room. The sheriff then pro
ceeded to secure Ills prisoner , and wnilo
doing so Slovens gave tbo following partic
ulars of the murder , all of which lie hud
before given to his father , but now first
brougnf'to the knowledge of the gray-
haired old mother , who in n frenzy of
grief declared that Charlie had always been
a good boy and had never spoken a cross
word to her.
Stevens said : "Sherman and I started
from Carleton February 10 in a two horse
wagon to go to my father's in Colorado ,
camping in the wagon some ton miles out
the llrst , night. I took my shotgun in the
morning and went out to hunt for quails , , re
turning about 11 o'clock. Sherman was
standing in the from part of the wagon with
n large Colt's navy revolver in his hand , and
which , without a word uttered by him , ho
leveled at mo and lired. I was within a few
feet of him and seeing ho was about to shoot
again , without a moment's thought cxqcpt to
save my life I llrcd just us ho wus about to face ,
the whole heavy load of shot taking effect in
the sldo of his hear ) . Sherman fell in lha
wagon and a moment later I realisedas blood
began dropping down , the awful crime I
had committcu. My llrst thought was to
turn back : 'and give myself up and
toll bow It occurred. Sherman
had the team already hitched lor
the start. I thought I would then drive on
and toll the llrst person I met , so I took part
of the tent coveting , cut it up , wrapped it
nboutSherman's bead and throwing the rest
of the tout over the body drove on toward
Oalr. Soon I heard seine ono coming up behind -
hind me. I thought I would tell them ,
but they were such rough looking
pcoplo that I feared that they might kill mo.
On I drove with the dead body of the man I
had murdered at ray feet , and the tnoro
I thought the more I feared to spook of it to
any ono passing. Nlcht coming on , I saw
the old hay stack and then determined to un
load the body , bury ii under the nay and
then movoon as fast as I could. Rolling the
body out of the wagon t chucked it under
the stack as bent I could , hastily fed ttio
horses and then drove all night ao hard that
I was compelled to give tha horses a whole
day's rest , while 1 slept , In the wagon all
stained with the blood of the man I had
murdered and hoped I nad effectively con
ccaled. I reached father's in about ten
day ? , I think. They wanted to know where
Slicrman was. I told them I had bought the
tcvm and Sherman had skipped the country.
They believed mo , but when they were un
packing the wagon father saw the bloody
tent cloth I hud forgotten to destroy or
throw away , and I told him what an awful
deed I bad done , but begged him not to tell
mother. "

port of the chancellor's resignation ,
The Post advised the people to watt until

the latter appeared In the evening without a
confirmation.
Today I have heard what I hnvo reason to
believe Is n true version. At n cabinet meet
ing yesterday the kaiser placed his
ultimatum before the chancellor on the labor
question and the latter promptly resigned.
This morning the kaiser sent to the chancel
lor to effect a compromise , but ho refused to
yield un lota of his original position.
Fourteen ofllcors of the different guard
regiments going to Morocco with n mag
nificent present from thoknisorto tha sultan ,
Including n superb fountain with arrange
ments for lighting it by electricity , were to
have had un nudlcnco with thu kaiser yester
day , but they had not received It.
Tonight Kugcno Uic'.iter says in the
Frolsinntg Xcltung that lie writes no leader
on the chancellor until the nous la- fully con
firmed.
The ICrouzo tfoitung tonight had only ft
short article n a corner of thu paper on the
retirement of the chancellor , which in
erroneously attributed to n dlvcrfO'ico of
opinion with the kaiser on the colonial
policy.
Iho National Xoitung accepts the retire
ment nnd hopes the chancellor will long re
main to witness the advancement of his
work.
tiThe Tagblntt , w'nich always opposed tbo
prince , says ho represented to the Germans
the supreme architect among those who
built up the now Germany , and to forolguera
ho pcisonified the strength nnd glory of tlio

overwhelming factor in the politics of his

In getting accustomed to the now atato of
