TO PROTECT AMERICAN SHIPS
BepubHcan Minority of the House Submita a
Etport on the Subject.
IT IS AN ISSUE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Dcmocrnt'3 Majority Innlst on UlicuMlng
the Affi r from the Must Unfavorable
btainlpolnt for the Hcpubllc
'Icxt of the Itcport.
WASHINGTON , Juno 10. The republican
Inlnorlty of the house committee on mer
chant marine and fisheries have submitted
to the house a report against the free ship
ping bill Introduced by Representative Kith-
Ian of Illinois , which the democratic faction
of the committee has recommended.
Representative Perkins of Iowa is the author
of the report nnd It carries the signatures
of Representatives Glllctt of Massachusetts
and Phillips ot Pennsylvania.
"Tho measure Is more properly entitled to
designation as a bill to destroy American
shipbuilding tn the Interests of foreign coun
tries , " said Mr. Perkins. "The report of
the majority Is wholly occupied In placing
the worst possible estimate upon the present
condition of our merchant marine. The mi
nority are not disposed to accept so dark a
\PW | nor disposed to make arguments from
the darker side. The majority confine them
selves to the most discouraging view ot
American competitive efforts and make this
the only excuse for an abandonment of a dis
tinctive national policy that has been un
disturbed through all the successive changes
of party and ministration since Its In.tlntlon
at the threshold of our government. No at
tempt Is made to explain that the passage
of this would prove helpful to the govern
ment or to the shipping Interests of Its citi
zens. The proposition Is for unconditional
surrender to foreign powers , both of the
profits and safeguards Involved In the main
tenance of our Independence as the builder
of our own ships. That the adoption of this
course would prove highly satisfactory to
Great Britain nnd other Important marine
powers need not be questioned , that It would
provo other thin a humiliation to this re
public , a certain disgrace and possible dis
aster , may bo accepted 03 equally probable. "
"The discussion of the question , " con
tinues the report , "may be carried on apart
from the matter of bounties and subsidies ,
to which the majority of the committee
devote EO much attention. It Is probable
that n bounty In the system proposed would
bo resorted to and yet the statement of an
American shipbuilder Is to the effect that
steamship owners who perform public serv
ice by transporting ocean malls undoubtedly
expect pay for It , and there is no reason
why this country may not pay for such
service as well as countries with which It Is
chiefly In competition.
"During the year 1S93 England , France ,
Germany. Russia and Italy paid , roughly ,
$10,670,805 for transportation of malls by
sea. England Is acknowledged to have been
so entirely successful In Its maritime policy
that It Is now urged that It Is useless for
the United States to hold out any longer
against the complete domination by England
of the trade from this country. The ques
tion is asked whether , It we were to depend
upon foreign ships because they are cheaper ,
foreign countries should not have been de
pended on for the new navy and an Inferior
line secured and thus retarded the develop
ment of establishments which are. now able
to compete with the world. It Is said to
bo settled that the United States can build
ns good ships as any country nnd build
cheaper than any country save England.
But for the law of 1872 this country would
have depended upon England for the build
ing of her own ships. There is said to be
less reason now for assaulting our naviga
tion laws than at any time since the war ,
particularly slncfc the field of profitable em
ployment Is now greatly reduced.
' 'The first cost of the ship Is said not to
tc the controlling consideration , but Its
profitable employment. So long as foreigners
protect themselves the carrying trade can-
nct be taken away by the employment ot
frse ship * . It would be folly to build Iron
ships when this work hasvjust commenced.
Thit 'he wages of America are 30 per cent
higher than those paid abroad Is said to ex
plain why so many foreigners ship with us.
It Is not so desirable to have the cheapest
ships as the best ships. The extension of
free registry to vessels engaged In coastwise
trade Is held to be the natural sequal cf the
proposed system. In conclusion It Is noted
that no appeal has come from shlpp'ng Inter
ests to congress for the change. "
TAitirr HIM. r
Senate Will 1'roli.ilily lcich ! ilio Woolen
Mlieclulu Thlt VVrrk.
WASHINGTON , June 10. It Is expected
on both sides of the senate chamber that the
woolen schedule will be reached durlnc the
present week In the consideration of the
tariff bill. There Is a tacit agreement among
the republicans and democratic leaders that
the debate shall be continued under the flve-
mlnutc rule on the cotton manufactures and
flax schedule. Senator Aldrlch , as the rep-
re entattve ot his side of the chamber , today
expressed the opinion that these schedules
will bo disposed of with very little delay. He
Eild the understanding for five-minute
speeches would not be continued when the
woolen schedule should be reached and he
expressed the opinion that three or four
days debate vv 11 bo necessary before the
wool and woolen tcheduu Is acted upon.
Some of the democratic leaders think the
schedule may be dl&posed ot In two days.
This schedule will develop oi.c of the most
important debater connected with the bill.
Next to the duty on sugar , free wool has
attracted more attention than any other Item
in the bill , and there can he no doubt that
many republican seii'itors will make speeches
> lgorouily ! absilllng the democratic posi
tions. The democrats , while not expecting
or hoping to secure consideration of this
schedule under the flve-inlnulR rule , are
nevertheless hopeful they can make an ar
rangement for the fixing of a definite num
ber of days for the debate. H Is understood
this Is cno end that they liavo In view In
arranging the preliminaries for night ses
sions , aa they have been doing tn securing
pledges ot democratic senators to remain
until the "steering committee" shall consent -
sent to adjournment each diy. This Is to
bo nn elastic arrangement , and late nlcht
cessions will bo rosortcd to only In case of
evident determination of the republican
senators to delay a vote. This Is not ex
pected on any of the Items which precede
the woolen ( schedule , nor do many senators
think It will be undertaken In that connec
tion , The democratic lenders , however , re
gard It best to bo prcpired to meet the
emergency It It uhouUl present Itself. They
desire also , It It should prove there are an
unexpected number of long speeches on the
woolen schedule , to work them off as rapidly
as possible by resort to night sessions for
the purpcxe.
"Ws do not. " > ald Senator Harris , "want
to tmpiiso any unnecessary hardships , but
v.o want to make an Impression on the bill
during the week. "
AS 1O TI1U INDIAN
Will Continue to Occupy the Attention of
the Ilouie Till * Week.
WASHINGTON , June 10. The Indian
question In Its various ramifications on
ichooli , agents , rations and supply depots
wilt continue to occupy the attention of the
bouse the early part of the coming week.
Judge Holman. In charge ot the bill , said
today he expected to pass the bill by Tues
day night It he was not obliged to surren
der on Monday to District of Columbia legis
lation , in which case he expects a vote
Wednesday , After that there are a num
ber ot important bills struggling for priority
The general deficiency bill will be reported
to the house on Tuesday , and Chairman
Sayers of the appropriation committee will
urge Its Immediate consideration. In order
to clear the calendar of appropriation bills.
Representative Sayers will be In charge ot
the bill , notwithstanding Brecklnrldge Is Jn
charge ot the deficiency bill. It Is ex
pected there will be an effort to have the
nntl-optlon bill up lifter the Indian bill.
Representative Livingston of Georgia Is
pressing the bill for government nld to the
cotton exposition In Atlanta. Mr. Culbcr-
son of the Judiciary commltteo olio wants
early recognition for several Important bills
affecting federal court procedure , and the
territorial statehood bills are being vigor
ously pressed to the front. No exact order
of priority for these bills has yet been mode ,
but they are the measures which are to re
ceive earliest attention.

George Manufacturing company's building
on the cast. This firm also manufactures
agricultural Implements and their stock was
a large one.

cupied by Charle Perry. The family had
left their h'ome and were thus saved from
Instant death. A brick house occupied by
Jasper P. Hope was also crushed and Mr.
Hope was severely Injured.James Donnelly
of Hook and Ladder company No. 1 was

WINCHESTERS AND CLUI1S.
ratal Frncns Hctvvecn Deputies and Strikers
UNIONTOWN , Pa. , June 10. The truce Is
ended and armed deputies In the coke region
had to bo killed or be killed. One striker
killed In his boots , two others dying , and an
other shot through Is the result of the battle
this morning at Lemont. There w-fro rlx
deputies on one side and a mob of strikers
on the other. Four Americans , John Dc-
laney , Oliver Attlcby , John Drltt and James
Furlough , who llvo at Lelsenrlng , have been
working at the Prick Coke company'1 ? valley
works for some time. They carne to New
Haven yesterday. As soon as they nllqhlcd
from the train at New Haven they were sur
rounded by a mob of several hundred strikers
from the Trotcr and other wvdrka In the
vicinity. The strikers first beat 'he fcur
workmen and then put tags on them bearing
the Inscription ( ( Dlacklegs , " also cuvi-rlng
them with chalk marks.
The Frlck Coal company officer heard of
the perilous position their workmen were In
and called on Sheriff Wllhelm to release the
men from the custody of the mob. Field
Deputy Matt Allen and six men were sent to
New Haven. Many of the strikers had re
volvers and all carried clubs. They moved
against the deputies , who retreated under a
shower of clubs and stones. The first shots
were fired by the strikers , and they fired ns
cooly and as rapidly as aid the deputies
They kept closing in on the men who were
working the Winchesters The deputies
gave ground , but kept up their fire. They
were driven to the extreme end of the com
pany's ground , where they made a stand
Dy that time three of the strikers were
down and when the deputies stopped and
prepared to fight It out there the mob re
coiled. The Instant the strikers stopped
firing the officers stopped also , glad enough
to have things go that way. The strikers
at once began to carry away the wounded.
The dead man and the two who were fatally
wounded were left in the road where they
fell , but there vvero others who were able to
get away with but little assistance.
The number of the wounded may not bo
known for several dajs , as they were con
cealed where concealment Is possible It
was not strictly a battle of bullets , as those
of the strikers who were not armed were
busy throwingstones. . The only Injuries
Inflicted on the deputies were with such
missiles. Sheriff Richards sent Deputy
Richards and Deputy Albaugh to the scene
and ten deputies arrived from Valley about
the same time.
Late tonight the two Slavs most seriously
wounded were taken to the Cottage hos
pital at Connellsvllle for treatment.

LEXINGTON , Ky. , Juno 10 , U Is now
thought the shooting will bo commenced
bright and early tomorrow morning.
If the traditions of Kentucky are adhered
to , there will be some dead men In the Dlue
Grass section before another sun has set ,
nnd nmong the different sorts of blood that
promises to stain the blue grass meadows ,
crimson fluid from the veins of cither a
Brecklnrldge or an Owens will do Its part
In the painting. Desh.i Drecklnrldge , the
eldest son of the congressman , denounces
his father's opponent In the congressional
race In the Ashland district , Colonel W. C.
Owens , temporary chairman of the last
democratic convention , as a "coward by
nature , a liar by Instinct , a scoundrel by
birth and a gambler by profession , " adding
that ho was not afraid to meet any man
tint ever llveJ. This was followed by Colonel
nel Owens denouncing Colonel Brfklnrld e
as a thief In havln robbed his clients years
ago of from $30,000 to $40,000.
Early yesterday morning Colonel Owens ,
accompanied by Colonel John H. Corbln ,
picprletor of that historic hostelry , the
Wells house , arrived In the city Straight
way they headed for nn evening newspaper
ofllce , and requested the publication of a
card , to which was affixed the signature of
Colonel Corbln. Heading the card , which
was short and so sensational and bitter that
the editor droppe I back In r.mazemont ,
Colonel Corbln requested its publication
His request was refused by the Journalist ,
who said that If the card appeared In print
nothing could prevent the shedding of blood.
Colonel Corbln said that he was personally
responsible for the card , and would protect
any one who published It. The refusal
was repeated. A morning paper , however ,
agreed to handle the card.
The card written by Corbln denounc a
Dcsha Brecklnrldgo as a coward , and con
nects him with Sarah Gcss , the negress who
kept an assignation house which Miss Pol
lard and Colonel Drecklnrldge visited , and
who tebtlfied at the trial . Continuing It
asserts that Colonel Drocklnrldge's face has
been slapped on several occasions , and that
the writer Is anxious to repeat the operation
on the son's countenance. The remainder of
the card Is too sensational for publication ,
and Is of a character that means blood In
the blue grass. The card closes by the
wr'ter ' stating that he can ba founl In
Georgetown on Sunday or In Lexington on
Monday , and ready to fight.
Desha Dreckenrldge said that he knew that
Colonel ownes was the best pistol shot in
Kentucky , but although he had alway.3 been
a peaceful man there was no touch of cow
ardice In him.
When asked what his Intentions toward
Desha Brecklnrldge were , Colonel Owens pre-
rved .an ominous silence , and left town
Immediately after the card had been de
livered. to the , morning paper. Colonel
Owens said , however , that Colonel Corbln
was a brave man , and would fight a regi
ment ormfln.
Many cool headed men believe trouble of a
serious character will take place tomorrow.
Tonight Evan Settle and his Owen county
friends arrived In large numoers. There will
be 5,000 strangers In the c.ty tomorrow- , and
as the feeling between the Owens and Breck-
Inrldce factions Is at a white heat there Is
no telling what may be result.

IOWA CITY , la. , June 10. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Rev. Emory Miller , In
the baccaliureato address thli afternoon at
the State university commencement discussed
In an able and Interesting manner the ten
dency of the t mes towards worldly gain nnd
promotion and away from the old-time re
ligious moorings. Hi * thought things wcra
estimated too much from a material stand
point. Wealth was sought with too much
nvldlty nnd nt a sacrifice to a Christian life.
He referred to a New York millionaire who ,
before hi * denth , upbraided his pastor for
urging him on to accumulate great wealth
that he might aid In church benevolence
when he failed to lead a proper Christian life.
Dr Miller gave a rap to certain preachers
who dealt In sensationalism and paid his re
gards to certain clas-es of scientists. Ho
urged the students to adhere to the good.
old-fashioned religious doctrine that they
were taught by their parents and to be wary
of the many new tangled Ideas of religion
and morality of the present day.
