other articles of wearing apparel of every

the demand of the two New York sena
tors. Troy, Senator Murphy's home, is
headquarters for the manufacture of
these goods. The schedule for wool and
the manufactures of wool, silk and silk
goods remains unchanged.
Section four of the administrative fea
ture, which covers what is known as the
similitude clauses, has been charged to
correspond with the provision in the
House bill which calls for tho highest
rate of duty. This change is carried out
in the entire section, and is a reversal of
the former action of the committee.
MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.
Avery important amendment is made
In the section governing the manufacture
of tobacco, which is intended to prevent
the sale of leaf tobacco by dealers from
competing with the sale of manufactured
tobacco, but is so worded as to protect
the farmer and grower of tobacco in his
right to sell his own product without the
payment of a tax. This section is as follows:
•’Every person whose business it is to
manufacture tobacco or snuff for himself,
or who employs others to manufacture to
bacco or snuff, whether such manufacture
be by cuttiug, pressing, grinding, crush
ing, or rubbing of any raw or loaf to
bacco, or otherwise preparing raw or leaf
tobacco, or manufactured or partially
manufactured tobacco, or snuff, or the
putting up for use or consumption of
scraps, waste, clippings, stems,
or deposits of tobacco, result
ing from any process of handling
tobacco, or by tne working or prepara
tion of leaf tobacco, tobacco stems,
Bi raps. clippings, or waste, by sifting,
twisting, screening, or any other process,
shall be regarded as a manufacturer of
tobacco. Every person shall also be re
garded as a manufacturer of tobacco,
whose business it is to sell leaf tobacco in
quantities less than the original hogs
head, case or bale; or who sells di
rectly to consumers, or to per
sons other than duly registered
dealers in leaf tobacco, or to duty regis
tered dealers in manufactured tobacco,
snuff or cigars, or to i>ersons who pur
chase in original packages for export; and
all tobacco, sold by such persons shall be
regarded as manufactured tobacco, and
such manufactured tobacco shall be put
up and prepared by such manufacturer in
such packages only as the commissioner
of internal revenue, with the approval of
the Secretary of the Treasury, shall
prescribe; provided that farmers and
growers of tobacco who sell leaf tobacco
of their own growth and raising shall not
be regarded as manufacturers of tobacco,
ami so much of section 3244 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United Slates, amt
all acts amendatory thereof, as are in
conflict with this act, are hereby re
pealed."
A DRAWBACK CLAUSE ELIMINATED.
The drawback clause for cotton bagging
exported has been stricken out.
Section 53 regulating the internal tax
on cigars and cigarettes, has stricken
from it all changes in that tax and the
present law is permitted to stand.
In the income tax thcSeuatc committee
originally stuck out the provision of the
House bill that this act should not apply
to the income or dividends of building
and loan associations. As rejxjrtcd to day,
the bill is intended to carefully guard
against taxing bona fide building asso
ciations.
The tax on playing cards remains at 2
cents per pack.
The whisky schedule remains as previ
ously agreed upon by tiie finance commit
tee, the tax being el.loand the bonded
period eight years.
Section 102, which was held to lie an ab
solute ri i,cal of the McKinley act. has
.been stricken from the bill, uud some
| parts of that act. notably the tobacco tax,
; are retained under a proper section.
The reciprocity treaties, or so-called
1 commercial arrangements entered into
under section 3of the McKinley act. are
to be abrogated, as provided in the fol
lowing section, which tho committee
claim meets the objection of the luisiana
senators, and removes all ambiguity con
cerning the duty on sugar. That sections
i3, 15 and 16of an act approved Oct. 1,189 b,
McKinley act. are hereby repealed, and
I all agreements, or arrangements made, or
; proclaimed between the United States
j and foreign governments, under the pro
visions of said sections, are hereby abro
[ gated, of which the President shall give
j such notice to the authorities of said for
eign government as may lie required by
the terms of such agreements or arrange
ments .’’
Section 105 of the previous Senate bill,
which directed the President immedi
ately upon the passage of this act to
notify the government of Hawaii that the
United States intended to terminate the
the treaty of June 3. 1875. as provided in
the fifth article of that, treaty, at the ex
piration of twelve mouths from the time
of notice, is not found in the bill reported
to day. Consequently the Hawaiian
treaty stands.
The only material reduction made in
the revenue to be derived by the bill is
that caused by the restoration of the
existing internal revenue tax on cigars
and cigarettes in place of the increase
previously agreed upon. This will reduce
the amount carried by the bill by about
$9,000,000.
There is no change in tho duties on
coal, iron ore or lead ore from the recent
publication of the bill.
No articles have been taken from the
free list. Pineapples, bananas and cocoa
nuts have been added to it.
A WILL CASE COMPROMISED.
Gen. J. C. Williams’ Widow to Retain
Only $31,000 Worth of Property.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.—A special
to the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla.
says: "The famous Williams will case
was compromised here to-day. There was
about $150,000 worth of property involved.
Gen. John C. Williams died in 1892. leav
ing his wife, Sarah Williams, all of his
property. Mrs. Williams was the second
wife, and eight children of the general s
first wife contested the will on the
ground that their father was insane. By
the compromise Mrs. Williams is to have
the property, about $31,000, conveyed to
her by Gen. Williams before I:is death.
The balance of the property goes to the
children after the expenses of the litiga
tion, which are enormous, are paid. 12x-
Postmaster General Dickinson and Mr.
Thurber, private secretary to Mr. Cleve
land, were of the counsel for tne chil
dren."
FIRE ON A ROOF.
Callahan Narrowly Escapes a Dis
astrous Blaze.
Callahan, Fla., March 20.—About ,10
o’clock this morning the roof of the store
house formerly used as the postoftico, and
owned by John O’Donald, was discovered
to be on fire. By tho time a bucket
brigade could be formed the case looked
hopeless, as one entire side of the roof was
ablaze. The entire business part of the
town was in danger, and every man went
to work with a vim. After an hour of
iucessant work the last spark was ex
tinguished, tho flames having been con
fined to the roof. Had it not been for the
close proximity of a well w ith a plentiful
supply of water, the town would have
been destroyed. It is thought that a
spark from a Florida Central and Penin
sular engiue started the fire.
PASSENGER AGENTS.
The Meeting at Palm Beach does Over
for a Day.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.- A special
to the Times-Union from Palm Beach,
Fla., says: “The meeting of the General
Passenger Agents Association did not
occur to-day as was expected owing to tho
non-arrival of many of the members. The

row, when all the members are expected
to be present. A banquet was tendered

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21. 1894.
! HUNGARY’S PATRIOT DEAD.
Louis Kossuth Passes Away in Exile
at Turir.
Turin. March 20. Louis Kossuth, the
j Hungarian patriot, died at 11 o'clock to
night.
Kossuth, the leader of the Hungarian
revolution, was born in 1802 in Monock,
in the county of Zemplin. in Hungary.
His family was of noble rank, but his
parents were poor. He studied law at
the Protestant college of Sarospotak, and
: practiced first in his native country and
afterward in i esth. in 1832 he co.n
--| tnenced his political career at the Diet of
' l’resburg as editor of a lib
eral paster which, owihg to the
state ot the law. was not printed,
but transcribed and circulated. The
subsequent publication of a lithographed
paper led to his imprisonment in May,
1837. He was liberated in 1840, and again
became the editor of a paper, in which he
advocated views too extreme for many of
the liberal party among the nobles, but
which took strong hold of the people in
general, especially the youth of the coun
try. In November. 1847. he was sent by
the county of Pesth as deputy to the
Diet, and soon distinguished himself as a
speaker, becoming leader of the opposi
tion or liberal party.
He advocated the emancipation of the
peasants, i he elevation ot the citizen class,
the freedom of the press, besides many
other liberties heretofore unthought of,
and after the French revolution of 1848
openly demanded an independent govern
ment for Hungary and a constitutional
government in the Austrian hereditary
territories. To his speech!s must in great
part be ascribed not only the Hungarian
revolution, but the insurrection in Vienna
in 1848.
On the dissolution of the ministry in
that year he found himself at the head of
the committee of national defense, and
prosecuted with extraordinary energy
the measures necessary lor carrying on
war. To put an cud to all the hopes aud
schemes of the moderate party lie in
duced the national assembly, in 1849, to
declare the independence of Hungary and
that the Hapsburg dynasty had forfeited
the throne. He was appointed provisional
governor of Hungary, but being disap
pointed in his hopes for tho intervention
of other European powers and
finding the national cause jeopar
dized by the arrival of Russia on
the scene of action, he endeavored to
arouse the people to a more desperate ef
fort. The attempt was vain. Finding
that the dissensions between himself and
Georgei, the commanding general of the
army, were damaging the national cause,
he resigned his dictatorship in favor of
the latter. After the defeat at Tcmes
var, in 1849, he was compelled to flee to
Turkey, where, however, he was made a
a prisoner, but. though his extradition
was demanded by both Austria and Rus
sia. the Porte resisted all their demands.
In 1851 he was liberated and tied in an
American frigate to England, where lie
was received with respect and sympathy.
In December of the same year he landed
in the city of New York and met the most
enthusiastic reception. He lived on
Staten Island until the next summer,
when he returned to England, and there
he chiefly resided until the Italian war
broke out against Austria, when almost
the vvhole of the Hungarian emigrants
left for Italy with Kossuth. He has led
a quiet aud uneventful life ever since in
Turin.
REMOVALS ALL RIGHT.
Michigan’s Supreme Court Sustains
Gov. Rich.
Lansing. Mich., March 20.—The su
preme court this morning rendered a de
cision sustaining Gov. Rich in removing
Secretary of State Joachim, State Treas
urer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner
Berry, for gross negligence in failing per
sonally to canvas the returns of the
amendment election of 1898. They hold
that it was within the power of the gov
ernor to remove such officials under the
constitution, and that he has power to de
termine as to the facts. A judgment of
ouster is entered.
After handing down opinion, tho
court at once prepared the papers in the
writ of ouster, and Gov. Rich appointed
the new state officers, as follows:
Secretary of State —Washington Gard
ner.
State Treasurer—J. M. Wilkinson.
Land Commissioner —W. A. French.
Judge Edward Cahill administered tho
oath of office.
Secretary of State Gardner at once
entered into the discharge of his duties.
Land Commissioner French took pos
session tnis afternoon, but State Treas
urer Wilkinson cannot secure control of
his office until 11 o'clock to morrow.
FLORIDA PENSION FRAUDS.
A White Man and Two Negroes Con
victed at Pensacola.
Pensacola. Fla., March 20.—C. A. D.
Hill, an ex-union soldier, Ben Davis and
Martha Hill, the two last named colored,
were to-day convicted before the United
States court on a charge of conspiracy to
obtain a pension by fraud.
When asked by Judge Swaine, if they
had anything to say, why sentence should
not. be passed upon them. Hill stated that
lie was a western man unaccustomed and
unacquainted with the ways of the ne
groes. and had been led into' his trouble
by confiding in them when they were un
worthy of confidence.
ln passingithe sentence Judge Swaine
said that the prisoners had been given a
fair and impartial trial, and there was no
ground for setting the verdict aside in
view of the fact that tho jury had com
mended them to the mercy of the court.
.They woro sentenced to pay a fine of
SI.(KH> and the costs of the prosecution
and to be imprisoned in the penitentiary
at Columbus, 0., for a period of flttfen
months and to stand committed until the
fine and costs arc paid.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Burke County Citizen Found With
His Skull Crushed.
Waynesboro, Ga.. March 20.—News has
just reached this city of the finding of
Mr. W. H. Hatfie.d in a small pond, 2(H)
or 300 yards from the public road, in an
unconscious condition, with his skull
fractured. The pond is near his home,
some ten or twelve miles from Waynes
boro, and near the Jefferson county line.
Mr. Hatfield came to Waynesboro on Sat
urday last, and left the city late in the
afternoon, driving a mult* to his roadcart.
At a late hour Saturday nitrht
the mule, without a driver, came up to
the gate at his home, making a r.oise,
which awakened some of the family.
Airs. Hatfield waited an asonable length
of time for her husband to come. When
he failed to do so, fearing an accident of
some kind, she sent for her son. a short
distance away. Mr. Hatfield, Jr., took
the cart and went in quest of his father.
When about two miles from his father's
house lie found where the
roadcart had turned from the main
road. Following its track he came upon
his father in an unconscious condition.
His saull was fractured and he had litany
other bruises on his head and face. He
has not been rational a moment since lie
reached home. The doctors fear he will
not recover, as his o!d age may work
against him. . Mr. Hatfield is a very old
man. It was an attempt at assassination ;
it 1 was one of tiie most cowardly and
brutal assaults in the history of Burke
county. All of Mr. Hatfield’s money and
his packages were found in the road cart
and in bis pockets unmolested. The af
fair will be investigated.

They Want Their Pay Restored to
What It Used to Be.

what others pay. They have secured

before you purchase once?
If they are, attend our sale
this week. Of all times,
none ever equaled the pres
ent for getting so much for
your money, owing to the
