2 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. Important to Florida Tourists.

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. THOMASVILLE TOPICS.

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure, liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts ot the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c andfl bottles, but it is man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Cos. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

BRANCH, Agents. 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.
