Save for a recess of two hours there was an unintcrruptca flow of tariff oratory In the house again today from II o'clock this morning until 100 : ! ! to night.

Ohio.When When the house met this morn ing , Mr. Compton of Maryland , of the committee on appropriation ; , asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill appropriating $11,000 ! for the Im provement of suburban streets In the Dis trict of Columbia. Ho explained that the appropriation would give cmyloyment to many needy tieoDle. Air. Kllgoro objected. The house resolution to Investigate the personnel of the navy with senate amend ments was , on motion of Mr. Meyer of Louisiana , temporarily laid on the table. The committee on Invalid pensions was given leave \fi \ sit during the session of the house. llrpclilnriilca of Kentucky Till In. The tariff debate was then resumed and Mr. Urcckinridgo of Kentucky took the lloor In support of the Wilson bill. In the course his speech Mr. Brcckinndge likened the advocates of protection to sharks. Mr. Walker of Massachusetts insisted on knowing to whom ho applied such an epi thet. "I did not mean to hurt the gentle man's feelings. " replied Mi1. Breckinridge. Mr. Walker , however , declared that was not a fair answer. "Well , then , " responded Mr. Breckin- ringe. "I refer to those , who , during the peril and distress ot a great civil war , took advantage of labor in the name of patriot ism , and later , in lime of profound pence , in creased these exactions until in the Flfty- lirsl congress they wrote a now law that en- rlehcd themselves. I refer to those who ad- milled new states to retain power , these who purchased ballot boxes and tool : the oout of.William 11.-Morrison in this house by bribery. " iDcmocratio applause. ] "Being an American manufacturer nnd ono of those who helped to make those laws , do you refer to mo ? " inquired Mr. Walker. "If the description fits you , then you have recognized your own picture. " [ Laughter nnd applause. ] Mr. Ulchards , democrat , of Ohio , followed with a short speech in support of the Wil son bill. J\lr. \ IHncloy'g Speech. Mr , Dlngloy of Maine then took the lloor In opposition to the bill. Mr. Dingley said : "Tho pending tariff bill purports to bo a bill to provide revenue. It Is in fact a bill to abolish revenue. The democratic majority which has reported It has been accustomed to ch\rgo ( that republican tariffs Ignore revenue in order to protect BOUIO Industries. They present the so-called revenue bill is a substitute which ignores revenue in order to destroy protection. This revenue bill would yield $07,000,000 less than the tariff of 1890. This largo surrender of revenue is to bo made , too , at a time when there is a deficit of $ 'i3,000,000 In the first half of the present fiscal year , which will be increased to moro than $00,000,000 by July next , caused by the distrust Induced by the apprehension of the revolutionary tariff changes proposed , nnd when the secretary of the treasury Informs congress that if the present revenue laws nro unchanged , there will bo sufficient revenue for the next fiscal year Just us there was in the llscal years 1SU3 nnd IS'.K ) . In short the pro posed tariff Is not a bill for a revenue only but for a deficiency only. The excuse glvon for such a surrender of needed revenue is the alleged necessity for reducing the taxa tion of the masses. What , then , are the articles on which It is proposed to surrender revenue and reduce taxation/ / Hud a sur render of about fM.000,000 in duties on Im ported liquors , Havana and other foreign cigars and leaf tobacco , silks and laces and embroideries , kid gloves , ostrich feathers , etc. , articles of luxury or voluntary use con sumed mainly by the well-to-do. The poor people must bo greatly relieved by such re ductions. Only thu Itlch Itrllcved. "Of the $22,000,000 of revenue surrendered In reduced ( tutles-on Imported manufactures of wool more than half is on Una goods , con- mimed by men of means , who w.int some thing "Kugllsh , you know , " and who are willing to pay for It. The same Is true of the fJl.000,000 surrendered on line cottons and many other goods. Not fiu\ from S10- UOO.COO of duties are surrendered on Imported luxuries of articles of voluntary use. Then about $0,000OtH ) of revcnuo Is surrendered by a reduction of the duly on tin plate of 1 cent per pound , which Is now largo part paid by the Welsh manufacturer. This Is shown by the fact that whun the duty on tin plato was raised 1.2 cents per pound by the tariff of IS'JO nnd the tin plato industry established hero by that tariff , the Welsh manufacturers so far reduced their price to hold our markets that tin plate did not advance hero above a quarter of a cent a pound above the average from 1SS3 to IS'JI. In this case It was clearly the manufacturer that practically paid nearly all the tax. This is also true of hundreds of articles where Iho foreigner reduces his price to meet protective- duties and hold our mar kets , Lumber and many agricultural products - ucts are placed on tlio free list and Canada will pocket the duties which wo surrender. Indeed , by a reciprocal treaty wo could have obtained Important compensation from Can- njjn which wo now propose to give away. CunllnuliiU the "Iloliliery. " "Tho president nnd the majority of the committee toll us that a part and ulti mately jll of the revenue surrendered will come back in now revenue from increased Importations brought In by lower rales of duly. Inasmuch as the reduced duties are nmlnly on Imported nrticlos-wo can produce or make for oursnlvcs It will require un In- crc.iso of importations to the extent of t CU.OuO.OOOtoroakoupIost revenue. This 1 $ a plrasmg feature to which our domocrallo fnciuu Invlto the country. No wonder mills nro closing , wages going down , and business paralyzed nt such a prospect , such & blow at these Industries on the ground that the protection "policy under which they have been built up is robbery. " AnJ yot. the democratic major ity claims that It has continued the "rob bery" In many cases , showing favoritism , it Is true , and favoritism generally to such as had n democratic lucking. Hico , for exam ple , Is protccicd by 83 per cent duly , but many northern farm products are put on the frco list , In spite of conspicuous exceptions the general policy of the bill Is to EO far re duce duties as to encourage Importations of foreign goods with the purpose of making further reductions In iho futuro. The ob ject Is to overthrow protccllvo duties on the assumption that thev are a lax which In crease ! ) the cost to the consumer of dpmcs- tc ! products. -"A protccllvo duly , I. e. , a duly on Im posed foreign nrllolcs , which are produced equal to Iho difference In money cost of pro duction nnd distribution hero and abroad , Is not a tax which Increases iho real cost of such article to the consumer as the frco trader assumes. The effect of such a duty Is simply to place competition hero on iho b.isls of our high wafeo and high living stand ard and the unco of the. article is deter mined by the cost of production , tuylne American wages , and that price estimated In labor service In which all men ultimately pay for what they get , but is less here than anywhere else In the world. Our prolccllvo syslem simply says to the foreign producer or manufacturer : "Beforo vbu can sell your products in our markets you must nay into our treasury , us a duty , n sum equivalent to iho wages that yon withheld from your laborer nnd which our manufacturers paid to our worklnmen. This policy , continued for Ihirty-dno years , gave us almost uninter rupted prosperity ; gave our worklngnicn In 161)3 ) wages OH per cent In purchase power In excess of the wacrcs of ISliO and made us the greatest agricultural , mining and manu facturing nation In the world. It Is only a year since the result of the elections of 1MU , foreshadowing a revolutionary change In this policy , first began to cause distrust , which has increased from month to month until Industry nnd business arc disordered and paralyzed and opportunities for employment narrowed and reduced. Will the remon strances of the people In the recent elec tions , the remonstrances coming from work ing men In all parts of the country , be heeded ? " .Mr. Sprlncer'N Ilcmtirlo. Mr. Sunngcr of Illinois followed. Ho spoke on the tariff question and tried lo show that laborers and agriculturists had not been benefited by the prolectlon. He quoted census ofllce .statistics on the amount of the mortgage Indebtedness. "New York has a larger per capita of mortgaged indebtedness than Nebraska , " Interrupted Mr. Kccil * "Yes , sir , " replied Mr. Sprlncer. "That shows , " said Mr. Ueed , "what these figures are worlh as showing the con dition of agriculture. " [ Laughter. ] Mr. Springer commended the free list of the Wilson bill , but said if Iu had been framing the bill ho should have made some material modifications. In concluding , Mr. Suringer predicted that with frco raw material/ ! country would become the greatest manufacturing country of the world , as it was now the gre.Uest agricultural. Mr. Brossius , republican , of Pennsylvania , closed the debate in opposition to the bill. He defended the Iheory of prolectlon. The committee at 50 : ! arose aud the house look a recess until 8 o'clock. IN THK SUNATE. Senator Unvm DorotoK HID Time to Ilairnll A Srnnittiou by Turple. WAHIIIXOTOX , Jan. 11. The Hawaiian con troversy consumed almost the whole time of the senate today. Senator Davis of Minnesota concluded his speech in opposi tion lo the policy of the present administra tion and was particularly emphatic in his opposition to tjio act ot the president in com missioning Mr. Blount to Hawaii and clothIng - Ing him with plenary power , oven"tothe exftcnt o control of naval lorccs , without such an appointment hav ing been confirmed by tlio sen ate. The defense with which he paraded to the senate , the spectacle of the opera bouffo queen clamoring for her lost throne , was too much for tho-grave nnd venerable senate , and the galleries gave ex pression to its appreciation by applaliso so hearty that it required the usual throat from the presiding ofllcer to clear the galleries to still the enthusiasm. bcmuiir Tnrple'8 Surprise. Senator Turplo made an hour's speech that was full of surprises. It. was a strong legal argument , based on international and diplomatic laws , nnd look the position that the provisional government , hiiVlng been once recognized by the United States and the civilized world , was a fact nccomp- ptishcd and recognition could not bo with- drawif. When the senate met at noon today Senator Cullom reported favorably from the committee on commcrcn iho sen ate bill granting to the DCS Molncs Rapid Power company the right to construct a dam 'and power station - tion in the Mississippi in Hancock county. Illinois. The bill was amended by requiring Iho work lo bo begun within two ypars and completed within four years , but Senator Hawley of Connecticut objected to the immediate passage and It wont over. Senator Coke of Texas reported favorably from the commltlco oh commerce Iho senate bill making nn extension of time lo the Aransas Pass Harbor company and it was passed. Mr. DuvU' Delicate Snrcnjni , Scna'tor Davis , in resuming his discussion of the Hawaiian question , asserted that the pcoplo who were most active ia the recent revolution In Hawaii , as a necessity of their rcsldenco there , had taken an oath of allegi ance to the Hawaiian government and were not aliens in Iho sense Indicated in the pres ident's message. The landing of American marines at thoordorof Minister Stevens was only in accordance with the practices in cases of revolution , and many times had been demonstrated to ben necessity In preserving the inlcrcsls of American citizens. If Iho queenb.v her violation of the constitution and her own revolutionary acts Precipitated a counter revolution , she should not complain of any indirect influence that might have been exerted by the necessary landing of American forces to protect American Inter ests. Kvcn while the proclamation was being read by the revolutionists , one of them , Mr. Damon , as evidence shows , became nervous and sent to Inquire of the com mander of the marines , whotner the Ameri can forces would not protect thorn. The lieutenant of marines replied , saying : "I remain passive. 1 will not support it in any way. " IVU on the I/iKt Scfiic. "When this revolution commenced , " said Mr. Davis , "tlio farce came to an end. The curtain fell on Iho last scene ot the mon archy. The stage lord * and the stneo ladies vanished Into the population. The ox-queen laid aside her crown , nut oft her tawdry re galia and re-entered private lifo through the stage entrance. The whole proceeding throughout had been Imitative. The mon archy had become spectacular. It had been tolerated by the clvlll/.ed world , though the performance had been frequently and nidelv Interrupted by forpizn speculators. The domestic audience , heavily taxed for Its support , frequently reported to Insults to the queen. But the practical and real look iho place of this pernicious mon archy. A firm government , conducted by able men. was entered on an abandoned stage. To thu ivholg world iho proceedings had been spectacular. Civilization had en dured it. The duke had , for a time , con ferred his functions upon Christopher HIv , but to thu gcncr.il appreciation of melo drama thorn was one exception. As iho show was ending ihcdcmncrnilc party comes In as a spectator , just as Don ( Juixolo and Sanrho Panza entered the puppet show In .Spain.

WASHINGTON , .Tan. 11. Contrary to pre vious announcement ox-Commissioner IMoinit this morning was before the senate com mission which is Investigating the rotations of this country with Hawaii under the reso lution of Senator Morgan. Senator Fryo , who Is regarded as the special champion on thocommittco of ox-Mlutstor Stevens , and who It has been supposed would bo pleased to have an opportunity to oxamlno Mr. nio'nt ' , appeared soon after 10 o'clock , the hour of meeting , but excused himself for the time to attend a meeting of the senate cotn- mlttco on commerce. Senator Dalph sat with the subcommittee. Niituro of Ulnunt'ri Ktiimliintloii. The efforts of the committee were directed moro to aecurlng an explanation from Mr. Blount of his various acts while In Honolulu than to obtaining from him an accurate account of his mission , with which the committee was already sufllcioiitly in formed through his official report , The explanation necessary , however , involved direct allusion to , and. in some Instances , a full account of his proceedings. He told briully of his appointment on the 10th of March. ISM , bvjho president as special com missioner to investigate the condition of affairs on the Hawaiian Islands which had been developed by the revolution of last January. This revolution , together with the part the United States troops had taken in it , the fact that the minister had established an American protectorate over the islands , and that a provisional government had been formed and was seeking to have the islands annexed to the United States , advised the president to have llu whole matter in vestigated b.v some ono who hud no connec tion with the islands , and ho had been selected for the mission. Mr. Blount said that ho considered the appointment as within the bounds of propriety and prece dent. The trip to the Islands on the Rush , the landing In Honolulu on the 20th of March , and mount's reception by the people on both sides of the question , were passed over almost without mention , as was the fact that both the anncxationists and the royal ists wcro auparontly exceedingly anxious to make his stay as pleasant as possible. Decided to lliuil Mown the J'liiRT. The decision to have the American ensign taken down and the American soldiers re turned to the man-of-war was next revived. Mr. Blount said that ho had found the islands and the government entirely under , the control or protection of the troops. The American Hag floated over the government building in which the ofllcers of the pro- visloi.al government conducted tholr busi ness. Everywhere was noticed the Inllu- enco of this country upon the people of the Islands. It was evident , Mr. Blount said , that it would bo diflieult to se cure an impartial account or opinion uninfluenced by the surroundings as long as this state of affairs continued , and , consequently quently , ho decided on the Hist of March , tuo days after his arrival , that , in accordance - anco with the spirit of his instructions and In the interest of fair play , the American Hag should be. hauled down and the troops removed. Of this ho informed President Dole , and on the following day , the 1st of April , ended the temporary protectorate. This proceeding he defended as within the scope of his mission and as an entirely proper proceeding under the circumstances. The subsequent events , ho said , proved that the presence of the American troops was not necessary to preserve order or to protect the lifo and property of either Americans or natives. The examination of Mr. Dlount also went into the various questions concerning the landing of the American troops during the revolution and his reasons for concluding there had been conspiracy to dethrone the queen and annex the islands to the United States. Mr. Blount was examined in regard to the statements of the Hawaiians to the effect that his examination hail been partial , and his methods had been apparently in the di rection of obtaining information against the provisional government and In favor ot the royalists. To this ho replied that ho took the testimony in his own way and acted upon his own judgment. He had boon se lected to make this examination and had boon given entire authority to conduct it in any manner ho saw fit and to obtain the- most accurate and bcsUnformation concern ing the revolution. At the end of the oxaniinntlon of Mr. Blount ho had a lent ; conference in the com mittee room with Senator Morgan. . Minisor Willis' Dispatches. Interest in the Hawaiian question centers in the dispatches from Mr. Wlllis-by the Corwlu , which were in the hands1 of the State department today. Secretaries Ores- ham , Lament and Carlisle visited the white house today and wcro in conference with Mr. Cleveland. Attorney General Olnoy came later and remained closeted with the president and Secretary Oresham for some time , for the purpose , it is said , of giving advice on norno of the points involved in the news Minister Willis sent. All that could be learned of the dispatches was that the matter they contain Is in about 1'J.OOO words. President Dole's letter in reply to Minister Willis con tains about 5,000 words. It was thouKht that the matter would be sent to congress , but the porusa ! of it bv the president occupied considerable time , and it was found the preparation of the copies to bo sent to the capitol would occupy much more. It is thought tonight , however , that the matter will go in tomorrow upon the assem bling of congress. Mr. llltl's Koiolntlon. The house committee on forolzn affairs agreed today In favor of reporting"favorably on the resolution of Mr. Ilitt calling on President Cleveland for the latest Informa tion on the Hawaiian question. Chairman McCrcary says the report will bo submitted to the house tomorrow. The Holman pro tectorate resolution will not bo Introduced as yet. Kit STi.Y.1iU : ! ; riMJM HAWAII.

Poverty Is the natural enemy of eaucation and development. A republican form of gov ernment cannot afford to have poverty fasten Its clutches upon the masses of its people. Neither can the people of wealth in such a government afford It. That which most threatens the glory and progress of onrcoun- try is the gradual forcing upon the millions of American laborers the schedules of pau per wages paid the laboring classes of the old world. Old world wages are not sufficient to enable an American laborer to properly clothe his family , educate his children and make of thorn good American citizens , Any thing less than this Is a menace to the very foundation of our system of government. Tlio schedules of wages referred to begot poverty , nnd poverty begets ignorance. Despotic forms of government can live and thrive with poverty and ignorance among the masses. This is Impossible with a re publican form of government like ours. A schedule of wages that enables the American laboring man to support his family respect ably and to educate his children properly has been recognized as a national necessity during the greater part of our nation's ex istence. I'.itrlntUm Itroadcr nnil Dcnpor. "To maintain the American schedule of wages in the future requires that the Amer ican pcoplo buy and use the products of the brain nnd muscle of the American laborer and producer rather than those of other lands , oven though they may cost a little more patriotism , A patriotism that regents an Insult to a nation's flag is highly com mendable. A patriotism that furnishes halt a million men to protect the rights and lib erties of oven n few of its citizens under the Hag wherever they may bo Is indeed chival rous and glorious. The patriotism of an American citizen should certainly bo as broad and deep as this. It must be even broader and deeper.

The silver product of American mines should bo utilized com mensurate with financial safety In prefer ence to iRSiiine government lends with their attendant Interest burdens.

" Liquor Tralll'i Itcunliitlon. Discussing the question of prohibition , ho continued : "A trial of ten years has demon strated that In many counties the prohibi tory liquor law has fully met the expecta tions of Its friends , having successfully driven the saloon system out , of existence In those counties. Uut while this Is true , there nro other localities where open saloons have existed during tills period of time In spite of the law and In spite of the most determined efforts to close them. In such localities the open saloon exists without restraint or con trol , a constant menace to the peace and safety of the public. From these localities there is an earnest demand for relief a de mand not from the law-defying saloon sym pathizers , but from the best business ele ment , from the moral .sentiment of such com munities , from the churches ami from the press. While the present prohibitive prin ciple which is so satisfactory to many coun ties nnd communities of our state and should there remain In force , wisdom , justice and the interest of tomperancc and morality de mand that a modillcatlon of this law should bo made , applicable to those communities where the saloon exists , to the end of re ducing the evils of the liquor traffic to the minimum. " At the conclusion of his address there was another hearty cheer for Jackson and then the immense crowd dissolved for a few hours. Tills ovenimr the capitol building was brilliantly illuminated from dome to base ment , and the governor's rooms wcro the scene of a brilliant reception.

Pitnaxo , Cal. , Jan. 11. Two men believed to bo Chris Kvans , the Vlsalla baiulit , and his follow fugitive , K.l Morrol , raided the town of Fowler last evening. Another tale of bloodshed mid terror is the result. Fowler Is a village of ! ! 00 Inhabitants , ton miles southeast of Fresno. CJoorgo Loon , the station agent , and three men employed as section hands were in the depot nt 7 o'clock , Just after the Los Angeles express had passed. U'hllo the four men were talk ing a masked man , with a revolver In each hand , appeared at the open door and ordered them to throw up their hands. Not ono hes itated to obey. At this Juncture Howard Harris and A. Vincent , prominent business men of Fowler , stopped upon the depot platform and took in the situation. They were about to run away and crive the alarm , when tlio robber espied them through a window. The outlaw , still keeping the other men covered , backed slowly out of the door and ordered Harris and Vincent into the depot , saying ho would kill thorn If they refused. They naturally went in. Killed All Their rocket * . The masKcd man then stood the six citi zens up along the wall , covering them with one revolver , nnd went through their pockets. Ho secured a llttlo over $70. The daring freebooter then ordered liU six prisoners into the street and made them walk down town through the principal thoroughfare to ICutncr ( toldstoin's grocery. The robber followed his" six prisoners Into the store and it was evidently his intention , alone and single-handed , to loot the grocery. However. Just as hn ordered thrco men pre viously in the stoYo to throw tip their hands , the proceedings were interrupted by Con stables OcliH iiinl Nelsop , Then began a bloody shooting affray. Ochs. with his pistol drawn , rushed Into thu store. The bandit tu rued upon him ami fired. Ochs foil and rolled out through the door , firing at the robber from the lloor. Ills aim was wild , however , and the constable shot ono citizen through thonrin and anotnor through iho brc.ist. The man hit In the breast was struct : by a tipcnt bullet and not seriously hurt , though knocked down. Ksuipod In the Imrknem. During the general fnsilaao the robber es caped and disappeared in the darkness. Another robber appeared upon the scene , however , during thu battle in the grocery. A wagon dashed up to the door and the driver began shooting at Constable , Ochs , thus aiding in thu cscajio of the robber within. The man In the wagon then drove- rapidly away. This man answers to the do- scrip'ion of Chris ICvans. In the other rob ber , who wore a bandana handkerchief over hia face , the men attacked believe they recognized ICd Morrol. The robber told them also that his name was Morrcl. It is believed here that the bandits , becoming pressed for food nnd money , came down from the mountains determined to make a raid. raid.A A posse left this city last night to organ ize u pursuit from Fowler. Constable Charles Ochs , who Is badly wounded In the thigh nnd groin , was ono of the Jurors who convicted Chris Kvans or the murder of Deputy United State" Marshal Wilson. Ochs declares that ho wounded the younger of the two robbers. It Is generally agreed here and In Fowler that the daring raid was the work of Evans and Morrol. SAVII > A ma Iliirlliigton Train ltohl ) ra rnlloil to Find the Treasure. ST. Jntni'ii , Jan. 11. Ihoro arc no develop ments of Importance in connection with the train robbery of yesterday evening. The wild rumors that were afloat about the mall car being entered and two pouches of regis tered matter being taken are groundless , as no attempt was made to enter the mall car at all , The mall clerk , however , when ho hoard the noise at the door of the express car , uarrlcadcd his < < Gur and got his guns ready , expecting the lobbers at his door , but they did not come. The amount given In last night's dis patches as being taken , about $50 , is prob ably correct , although very valuable express matter is carried on the night train. There was one package , however , consigned to the Commercial National bonk of Chicago sup posed to contain about JlO.OOUor $ i,000 : ! on board the car , but this was not secured by the robbers. The package was lying on the floor alongside the tufo and when the mes senger heard the racket at the door ho SUB- plcionrd something was wrong and Iclcued this packairo under the stove where it wa not found by the thlove.s. The police and the forces of tlio sheriff nro working on the case , but have not found u clew upon which much dependence can bo placed. It ia thought , however , that the robbers returned to this city and are now somewhere within the city limits. Kxprcss Mcbscngcr U'otzel arrived in this city this afternoon and was at ouco liuccn in charge by W. II. Mosoly of the Adams Kx prcss company and could not bo seen In re gard to the robbery.
