IRON ORE AND THE TARIFF.
McKinley's Rales Refused a Place in
Wilson’s Bill.
Taylor, of Tennessee Proposed the
Substitution—Democratic and Re
publican Members from the Minne
sota Ore District Take Diametrically
Opposite Positions Republicans
Kick Over Favors Shown Cotton
Manufacturing Machinery—War on
the Income Tax.
Washington. Jan 24.—Very little time
was lost in getting down to business this
Morning, and at 11:10 o’clock the House
went, into committee of the whole to con
sider the Wilson bill.
Mr. Washington, dem., of Tennessee,
took the chair, and Mr. Taylor, rep., of
Tennessee, offered a substitute for the
pending amendments to the iron ore
schedule, which proposed to substitute the
existing terms of the McKinley bill for
those in the Wilson bill.
In the course of a speech adverse to free
ore, Mr. Tawney, rep., of Minuesota, pre
sented a petition in support of his position
signed by 6,447 citizens of St. Louis
county, the principal iron ore producing
district of Minnesota.
He was followed by Mr. Baldwin,
dem., of Minnesota, whose views were
diametrically opposed to those of the
preceding speaker. Under free ore, he
feared no competition, and he favored a
commercial union with Canada, and com
mercial union was but another name for
free trade. Under freer conditions of
trade in iron ore a second Pittsburg could
he built up in the west. In answer to a
question, he said he had no doubt that
the stock exchange of Duluth had signed
the petition presented by Mr. Tawney,
but they were so much ashamed of it
that they had not sent it to their demo
cratic representatives, but had sent it to
another representative who lived 200
miles away. [Democratic laughter and
applause J
BTSCM OS PETITIONS.
Later in the debate Mr. Bynum re
curred to the subject of jietitions which
had been sent to congressmen, saying
that the American Protective Tariff
League was flooding the country with
printed slips calling on every one to send
to their congressmen postal card protests
against the Wilson bill. He haa read
some of these slips which had been sent
him by one of his constituents.
Messrs. Breckinridge. ofArkansas. and
'Wilson, of West Virginia, briefly appealed
to the Democratic party to stand by the
bill as prepared by the ways and means
committee, and to vote agaiust the pend
ing amendments
A vote was then taken first on the
amendment proposed by Mr. Taylor, rep.,
of Tennessee, substituting the provisions
of the McKinley law for thoso in the
Wilson bill, and this was voted down on
a standing vote: ayes 67; nays 137.□ But
one democrat voted for this amendment,
Mr. Swanson, of Virginia.
Mr. Taylor asked for tellers, which re
•ulted as follows: Affirmative 65: nega
tive 136.
OATES’ AMENDMENT DETESTED.
The amendment offered fey Mr. Oates,
proposing a tax of 40 cents per ton on iron
ore, was likewise defeated on a standing
vote, ayes 63; nays 124. Tellers were de
manded and the amendment was defeated
by a vote of 52, affirmative, and 109 nega
tive. Among the democrats who voted
for the amendment were: Messrs. Oates,
of Alabama, Beltzhoover, of Pennsylva
nia, Wheeler, of Alabama, Stallings, of
Mississippi, and Robertson, of Louisiana.
All the populists voted with the major
ity against the amendment and in favor
of free iron ore.
The iron ore schedule being thus dis
posed of, Mr. Robbins, dem., of Alabama,
submitted an amendment to the para
graph which puts agricultural imple
ments on the free list. The amendment
adds to these articles enumerated ‘‘all ar
ticles for use in the manufacture of cot
ton, including machinery and equip
ments.”
A CHARGE or WSCRIMI NATION.
Messrs. Dingley, Payne and other re
publicans did not see any reason for
singling out cotton machinery to the ex
clusion of other machinery, and Mr.
Payne offered a substitute'striking out
Mr. Robbins' amendment and providing
for retaliation against those countries,
meaning in particular Canada, which
should impose a duty on those articles of
American manufacture which, under the
pending paragraph, would be admitted to
this country free.
Mr. Terry, dem., of Arkansas, offered
an amendment to Mr. Robbins’ amend
ment, admitting free of duty, besides fin
ished machines, "parts thereof and agri
cultural implements of all kinds.”
Mr. Hare, dem., of Ohio, offered as an
amendment to the substitute of Mr. Payne
a proposal to put plows, tools and disc
harrows, harvesters, reapers, agricultu
ral drills and planters, mowers, horse
rakes, cultivators, threshing machines
and cotton gins on the dutiable list, with
a tariff of 35 per cent, ad valorem, with a
provision that they should be admitted
free from those countries which impose
no duties on similar articles from the
United States.
No vote was reached upon anv of these
amendments.
WAR OX THE INCOME TAX.
A short and sharp filibuster was caused
by Mr. McMillan reporting the internal
revenue bill containing the income tax
clause to the House a few minutes before
the hour for taking a recess. The demo
cratic members of the New York delega
tion flew to arms in a moment, and the
House was soon in a state of confusion
and excitement. A motion to adjourn
was overwhelmingly defeated by a viva
■voce vote, and a division was demanded.
Again the proposition was defeated by a
vote of IS ayes to 83 nays. A demand was
tben made that the vote be taken by yeas
and nays, but this motion was also de
feated—ayes 15, nays 98—so the House re
fused to adjourn. The internal revenue
bill was then reported by Mr McMillan
and the speaker announced that a recess
■would be taken until 8 o'clock, in spite of
the remonstrance of the New York dele
gation. The announcement was greeted
with loud cheers.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
The speakers at the night session of the
House were: Messrs. Ryan, of New York ;
Swanson, of Virginia; Baldwin, of Min
nesota; Ikirt, of Ohio, and Cummings, of
New York, all democrats: and Banker,
popl., of Kansas, in favor of the bill;
and Messrs. Wanger. of Pennsylvania:
Johnson, of North Dakota: Moon, of
Michigan; Kiefer, of Minnesota, and
Blair, of New Hampshire, all republi
cans. in opposition to it. There were few
other members present, but there was a
large audience in the public galleries.
ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Senator Vest Proposes to Make the
Refusal More Emphatic.
Washington, Jan. 24.—Karly in the
morning hour in the Senate to-day the
resolution, reported yesterday from the
committee on foreign relations, against
the consideration at present of any pro
ject of annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, was laid be
fore the Senate, and Mr. Vest offered the
following substitute for it:
Resolved That it is unwise and inexpedient
>0 consider the project of annexing the Ha
wstian territory to the United States: that
he people cf the Hawaiian Islands should he
left to choose and maintain their own govern
ment , end that any foreign intervention In
! the political affairxof the islands will he re
l garded as an act'unfriendly to the govern
i ment of the United States.
VEST EXPLAINS HIS OBJECTION.
Mr. Vest explained that his objection
to the committee resolutions was against
the qualifying words "at this time, and
under present conditions." He thought
that these words held out hopes for the
future to the annexationists.
The discussion upon the subject em
braced in the resolutions and substitute
lasted until the morning hour expired,
and the resolutions weut over without
action till to-morrow. Several modifica
tions of it were offered by way of amend
ment, and also went over.
The unfinished businessjwas jhen taken
up. being the House bill to rej>eal the fed
eral election laws, and Mr. I-odge. rep.,
of Massat husetts. addressed the Senate
in opposition to the bill, in a carefully
prepared speech.
At the close of Mr. Lodge's speech the
elections bill went over till to-morrow,
and the Senate proceeded to the consider
ation of executive business.
When the doors were reopened, the cal
endar was taken up and several relief
bills, and other bills of a local character
were passed.
The Senate at 4 o'clock p. m. adjourned.
WORSHAM'S FATAL WOUNDS.
Dr. McLendon Testifies That the Shots
Were Fired by Two Persons.
Amerious, Ga., Jan. 24.—The first wit
ness in the Hinkle case this morning was
Joe Fletcher, a haekman. He testified to
Dr. Worsham passing him and that the
doctor hardly had time to get to Hinkle's
office, when he heard the firing.
Jane Barber, who was at the Brown
house, across the street, saw the flashes
from two pistols. They were fired by two
persons.
Boykin Glover, white, swore that his
attention was attracted by the firing. He
heard four shots from different places
about 12 feet apart, and went to the
scene. Dr. J. H. Hinkle said: ‘‘Dr.
Worsham attacked Albert with knuckles,
and I killed him." The witness added:
"We saw no brass knuckles or other
weapons about Dr. Worsham as he lay on
the pavement.”
Maj. Spear swore that he passed about
five minutes after the killing and saw Dr.
Hinkle standing on the piazza of his office.
The clothing of Dr. Worsham was ex
hibited. The bullets and bloodstained
garments brought a pathetic wail of
anguish from the widow and tears to the
eyes of many sympathetic ladies present.
Dr. McLendon’s testimony brought out
the main point, that the snots must have
been fired by two persons.
Other testimony only strengthened the
case of the prosecution.
At the conclusion of D. F. Davenport’s
testimony the state rested its case.
The defense then placed Dr. J. B.
Hinkle on the stand, to make his state
ment in advance of any evidence for the
defense. It was written and consisted of
twenty pages. Its delivery consumed
one and a naif hours. To say it is a re
markable paper is a feeble expression.
Many of his statements are in direct con
flict with important testimony now in,
and yet to be introduced.
The court room this afternoon was
crowded with ladies, and the interest in
the case is intense.
FELLED BY HIS PRISONERS.
A Sheriff’s Skull Fractured by Escap
ing Negroes.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 24.—A special to the
Chronicle, from Thomson, Ga., says:
“Sheriff Hawes was knocked senseless
while feeding the prisoners this evening,
and six negroes made their escape. The
weapon used by his assailant was a two by
four inch scantling. The blow was a pow
reful one, and cut a gash in the sheriff’s
head some five inches long, and knocked
him down a stairway about ten feet.
He was apparently dead and the
prisoners took his pistol and keys.
All then walked out. shutting the
jail door, but failing to lock
it. The crime was discovered very
shortly afterwards and the whole town
is wild with excitement. The sheriff’s
skull is badly fractured and his condition
is critical. A posse was immediately
organized and three of the negroes were
caught. It is probable that the other
throe will also be captured. Sheriff
Hawes says Jim Kendrick struck him the
blow, but Wash Kendricks and George
Green sa.v Bob Harris did the work.
These are the three negroes recaptured.
If the sheriff dies there is probability of
a lynching.”
A SUIT OVER A DEATH.
Relatives Want 91.000 on Account of
Delay in Delivering a Corpse.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.—A suit brought
for a peculiar cause was on trial here to
day in the city court before Judge Van
Epps. In December, 1891, Charles W.
McCormack, of New Orleans, who was on
a visit to Atlanta, died and his remains
were placed in the hands of the Southern
Express Company for shipment to New
Orleans. On account of a delay iu Mont
gomery, which the express company
claim was due to the fact that
a permit to let the body be
received in New Orleans could not be ob
tained in time, the body did not reach its
destination at the time it was expected.
The nine children of the deceased, who
bring suit for SI,OOO damages on account
of alleged extra expense incurred and
mental anguish, together with other
friends of the family were assembled with
a minister and hearse in readiness,but the
funeral had to be postponed because of the
unexplained absenceof the dead man's re
mains. Mi'. Clay, of Savannah, appears
for the Express Company.
HIGH WATER ON ST. SIMON’S BAR
The British Steamer Topaz Goes Over
Drawing Over Twenty-two Feet.
Brunswick, Ga.. Jan. 34.—The British
steamship Topaz, loaded by the Bruns
wick Terminal Company, with a cargo of
2,450 tons of phosphate rock, and having
a draft of twenty-two feetand two inches,
crossed St. Simon's bar on this morning's
tide. The least depth on the bar was
twenty-two feet six inches upon a tidal rise
above mean low water of seven and eight
tenths feet. The Topaz arrived on Jan.
18, and was loaded for sea in live days.
Robbed of 91,400 By Highwaymen.
Columbia. S. C.. Jan. 24. —Z. T. Eaddy,
administrator of a wealthy estate, was
robbed by masked highwaymen near
Kingstree.in Williamsburg yesterday, of
$1,400. There were three robbers, all
white. It was pretty generally known
that Mr. Eaddy carried large sums of
money around with him for fear his
house should be robbbed during his ab
sence.
Danger of a Lynching.
Starke, Fla., Jan. 24.—Sheriff Johns
captured a negro at New River Station
to-day, on the Georgia Southern road,
answering the description of the brute
who beat Mrs. McGuery at Brooklvn,
Fla . last Tuesday. If identified to-mor
row, a lynching is inevitable.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 25* 1894.
SENATORS AND THE TARIFF,
The Outlook For the Wilson Bil! in
the Upper House.
There the Enemies of the Measure
Will Form Combinations Against It.
No Bill, However, is in Danger
of Being O-reatly Delayed or De
feated By These Combinations.
Washington, Jan. 34.—The Wilson bill
is nearing the first hurdle. The second
hurdle, guarded by a more selfish body
than is found in theHonse,wi!l be harder to
make. The enemies of the bill in the House
on the democratic side have largely made
their speeches against it for the benefit of
their constituents, and theirs has been no
organized effort to defeat any portions of
it. Its treatment on the whole will not
be of this nature when it comes unwel
come to the Senate, There the various
enemies of the bill will form their com
binations, and having more time than the
business branch of congress, will be able
to effect compromises and change certain
features before its passage. A large jtor
tion of the democrats in the Senate
will undoubtedly favor the bill
outright, believing that its
passage will do the greatest good to the
greatest number. The senators will re
fuse to enter into any combination with
White, of Louisiana, Fosco, of Florida,
aud a number of other senators who want
certain schedules changed to suit special
interests, because they are democrats.
They do not consider it either patriotic,
statesmanlike or politic to unite with
their opponents in antagonizing tho plans
of their own party. Some of the men who
so bitterly fought the administration on
the silver question now see the error they
made, and will seek during the tariff
debate to unite the party in its sup
port of the administration on this ques
tion. The bill is in no danger of being de
feated, or action Deing delayed upon it,
for any great length of time. There will
be no celebrated deadlocks: there will be
no sixteen hour speeches, and there will
be no great wrangling over it in part.
But as the schedules are taken up sep
arately, as for instance the sugar, White
will already have arranged his combina
tion. and the vote will be the test of
strength on the schedule.
AN EXAMPLE POR THE SENATE.
The Senate has not been slow to realize
that the business methods pursued by the
House in its discussion has been far more
popular than their slow, senatorial way,
and that on the whole tho country has ex
pressed its approbation of Mr. Wilson,
the committee and the bill, and that it
will resent any prolonged discussion or
unnecessary delay in its passage. There
has been a great deal of talk
about the anti-administration sena
tors opposing the bill on the ground
that the administration wants it
passed. But there is nothing in this. The
anti-administration senators realize that
the tariff question is backed by almost
solid democracy and is the principle of
the party, whereas the silver was merely
considered as a policy, and that on this
question there was great division. So the
very men who believe themselves fully
ordained to defeat Mr. Cleveland's poli
cies will not attempt to cross swords with
him in this matter. Any feeling of hos
tility will be entirely eliminated
from the discussion of the tariff and
local interests alone will affect, the
democratic vote on the bill. Among these
varying elements the bill is to make its
way. Whether its creators will recognize
it as it emerges from the labyrinth of the
Senate chamber remains to be seen.
Prognosticators of evil, -while predicting
direful results from the discussion in the
Senate, forget the fact that democratic
senators, though wrapped in the seclusion
of the Senate chamber, are not beyond
the will of either their party or the peo
ple, and that their hands are not too far
beneath the water to be hit by public
opinion.
SENATORIAL COURTESY.
It is e xceedingly doubtful as yet how
far senatorial courtesy extends. Mr.
Cleveland has made a flank movement
upon Mr. Hill in his nomination of
Wheeler H. Peckham to be associate jus
tice on the supreme bench. When the
nomination was first sent in it was the
general impression that Judge Peckham,
of the court of appeals of New York
had been Mr. Cleveland's choice. But
David Bennett Hill soon explained that
it was not Judge Peckham by any means,
but his brother Wheeler, who was equally
as oujectionable to him as Mr. Horn
blower. There is nothing to be said of
Mr. Peckham as a man of high abiiity
and great judicial learning. There is no
doubt that he will pass muster and the
sharp shooting in the judiciary committee
of the Senate. But whether in executive
session Mr. Hill will be able to rouse
senatorial courtesy to wrath and for a
second time thwart Mr. Cleveland's
choice, is an open question.
The Hornblower strugglo will undoubt
edly be repeated and there will be a
battle well worth the watching.
A FIELD DAT.
Saturday will be the field day of the
discussion of the tariff question in the
House. Wilson and Reed will be the
chief orators, while some of their time
will be divided among the best speakers
on both sides of the question. Bryan,
Cockran, Springer and Champ Clark
will indulge in a flight of eloquence in be
half of the bill, while Burrows, Dalzell,
Cannon and Johnson, of Indiana, will
have something to say in defense of pro
tection.
The galleries will be crowded on Mon
day. for Speaker Crisp is advertised to
speak before the vote is taken. He has
been importuned to do so by all the dem
ocratic leaders and the majority of the
ways and means committee. He has
given his word to Chairman Wilson that
he will speak in support of the bill, and
the regular gallery attendance is ex
pecting a great treat on this day. This
will be an occasion for the diplomatic
corps to turn out as a mark of respect to
the speaker. It will be his first prepared
speech on the floor since he was elected
speaker, and a great deal of interest is
attending it. Among those who will be
in the diplomatic gallery will be Cardinal
Gibbons and his secretary, -who have
written that they desire to attend this
occasion. Admission tickets to the up
holstered seats have been secured for his
eminence and were sent to him yesterday.
CRISP’S BIRTHDAY.
By a strange coincidence, the 29th,
the day on which Judge Crisp is booked
to speak, is his birthday, and a little be
fore noon, at the very time he will be
speaking, he will be 49 years old. It was
on Jan. 29, 1890. that ho made his cele
brated speech against the arbitrary rul
ings of Mr. Reed, when he appealed from
FhilUp drunk to Phillip sober. It was
that speech which resulted in his election
to the speaker's chair, and many took to
this speech to perpetuate his influence iu
the House.
The Senate committee on grounds and
buildings have finally decided to recom
mend the construction of a public print
ing bureau. They have recommended an
appropriation of $51,000 in addition to the
$250,000 already appronriated. The
crowded condition of the present building
makes it fearful that an accident similar
to the Ford's theater disaster may occur
at uny time, and the committee have
urged immediate action on the bill.
A BEAUTIFUL HAWAIIAN.
Commander W. H. Whiting and his Ha
waiian bride, who is known as "the beau
tiful Miss Ah Fong,” of Honolulu, are on
a visit to Washington, and are registered
at the Ebbitt house. Mrs. Whiting is the
daughter of an immensely wealthy Chi
nese merchant residing in Honolulu, who
married a native Hawaiian several de
grees lighter, however, than the queen is
supposed to be. Mrs Whiting is a bru
nette. with a rich creamy complexion,
glossy black hair and a faultless figure.
Her eyes are eastern in their setting, be
ing the conventional almond shape, indi
cating the Celestian stream in her blood.
At present she is a cynosure of social
eyes iji Washington, and next Thursday
evening will be one of the sights to see at
the reception at the white house.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS. ,
v
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated In a school of optics In New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve youreyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
