WILLIAMS OUTLINES DEMOCRATIC POSITION
Mlaortty Leader Attempts to Prove
that Prosperity of the Csastry
la Not ilea to Protec
tive Policy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. U.-The Philippine
tariff debate In the house today consisted
more of party maneuvering for advan
tageous campaign material than of discus
sion of the question at issue. The tariff
waa the text of a speech by Mr, Grosvenor
of Ohio, who began the debate, and of an
extended reply by Mr. Williams, the minor
ity leader. The speech of Mr. Grosvenor J
.(.. ,,.. , , ., 1,1
was spiced with witticisms and enlivened
with Interruptions rrom Champ Clark, to
whom Mr. Grosvenor aimed most of his ar
gument. Mr. Williams outlined acuta the sne-
ciflc tariff doctrine of the democratic party ,
and held that the republican tariff waa
not, as so often claimed, responsible for the
prosperity of the country. To prove this
he cited the prosperity of Canada, Mexico
and other countries at the present time
and the business depression of these coun
tries during tho hard times of 1S93.
Mr. Adams of Wisconsin opposed tho
bill, but advocated a readjustment of the
tariff on business principles. Mr. McKln
ley of California delievered his first speech
in favor of the ponding measure and
pointed a finger of warning toward the
growing industries of Japan. The debate
on the bill undoubtedly wilt close with tho
session on Saturday and the measure be
put on its passage Monday.

WASHINGTON. Jan. H.-jBefore going
into executive session the senate listened
to u speech by Mr. Heyburn In support of
his bill creating a board of national control
for the control of corporations. In which
he denounced Wall street because of Its
alleged Interference with the affairs of the
country. He said that when the "street"
could not dictate the financial course of
ic !
the government It was even ready to
threaten disaster and he pleaded for legis-
latlon that would rob it of such Power I
for evil. The remainder of the open session !
was devoted to a discussion of a practice i
by tha senate of sending senate resolutions I
to the calendar after they have once been I
under discussion. Mr. Bncon raised the
M, . . - I . . I !
point that there waa no rule requiring such
a course and urged that hla Moroccan res
olution had been improperly placed on the
calendar. He also contended that the res
olution had not had a day's discussion.
The matter was not disposed of In open
session. The senate adjourned until Mon

v tFrom a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. Jun. 11. (Special Telegrams-Senator
Millard said tonight that
he would In all probability call the Ne
braska delegation together Saturday morn
ing for tho purpose of determining upon a
successor to Judge Baxter. When the dele
gation meets It will be presented with a list
of applicants, a doxen or more In number,
who announce themselves willing to leave
private practice for public duty. Among
these are: C. A. Goss, J. C. Kinsler, J. U
Kaley, W. W. Slabaugh, A. S. Churchill, M.
A. Hall, F. 8. Howell and T. W. Blackburn
of Omaha; W. W. Toung of Stanton and
Byron Clark of Plattsmouth. While tho
names of II. It. Ualdridgc and John 0.
Wharton have been mentioned In connection
with the United States district attorneyship
there is nothing on file, so far as can lie
learned, to Indicate that they are candidates
for the place. The situation Is Interesting
because Senator Burkett, believing that the
South Platte delegation will be called upon
to recommend ofiicrrs for a South Platte
federal Judicial district, which he conil
dently believes will be created during tho
present session of congress, Is, like Bre'r
'Possum, "layln' low." He has no candi
dates to offer at this time and consequently
the selection of a United Btatcs district at
torney for the district of Nebraska will
rest upon the shoulders of Senator Millard
and Congressmen Kennedy, McCarthy and
Ktnkaid, which means that the man x
lected will come from Omaha.
Another Term for Postmasters.
Congressman McCarthy received a letter
from the first assistant postmaster general
the other day, formal In manner and Indl-
eating that unless he had a protest In his
hands or- knew any personal reason why a

terms of office are about to expire, should
not be, they would be reappointed. Con

as a result a report was made completely

The camp mover escaped and brought
news of the raid. Tie saya the raider num
bered more than two doxen. All wore
masks, were mounted and heavily armed.
They attacked the camps shortly after mid
night, riding In a circle Indian fashion, and
firing into the camp wagons. Garsite and
Alleg were killed before they could defend
themselves. From the brushy the camp
piover witnessed the slaughter of the sheep,
which were clubbed to death, and the de
struction of the camp outfit by fire. When
the Job wns completed the raiders rode leis
urely away.
The flocks were owned by Utah men, and

of Burnt Fork, who had repeatedly warned
the sheepmen to leave the country. The
range on which the outrage was committed
' us long been In dispute. Heavy rewards
li.ive been offered for the capture of tho
fflders. , The sheepmen are greatly excited
