— THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: WEDNESDAY. JANUARY \M0, ' lA r UAMISON SHEEP TRUST. 0 A COLORADO WOOL GROWEH TLLLS M KINLEY’S COMMITTEE, The Wool I. Tiieir Allot The Arsn of 31 r, Hcnnctt WifiBSOKV, Jan. 2.—Tho ways and ueans cominitico to-day heard argu- neat* by representatives ot tho wool l George IL Wallace of Missouri read a i it j-Aicd paper, at Curding with *t* tit- tics, to demonstrate the necessity for maintaining the duties on imported wool and i ingested »n adjustable tariff which would diminish when wool was scarce and high in prices, and when it was plentiful and low in prices. He dwelt at length upon what he described as the impe rfections of the present classifica tion, saying that in Wanamaker’s store could be seen pantaloons raado of third class, or carpet wool, snd Bold at $3.50 per pair. The importers of carrot wools said this grade of wool was used every where and for all kinds of wool manu facturing as well as carpets. This demonstrated the fact that the importa tion of third class wool under tho present l«w is diminishing tire production of wool in America. COST OF WOOL IN MISSOURI. - Representative Flower questioned Mr. "Wallace closely as to the actual cost of wool production In Missouri, eliciting the fact that lend was worth from $30 tu $10 per acre and that it would main tain one sheep per acre. Representative Carlisle joined in the inquiry and ascer tained from tno witness that a fleece av eraged $1.50, and that the actual cost of tho production of wool was about 20 cents a pound. There was no money to be mads st that figure, Lut thero wero other considerations to be heeded, such as the manuring of tho land, th$ fact that sheep cleared oil the brambles and weeds and otherwise benefited a farm. Mr. Carlisle remarked that was as ho supposed, sheep wero not valuable alone for wool snd mutton. Mr. Breckinridge sought to ascertain the production ot third-class wool in the United States, but the witness said that owing to tho fact that the class of wool u»sd by carpet manufacturers varied sc- cording to tho quality of the manufac ture be could not give any exact figures. The wool growers had found tho carpet manufacturers very reticent in giving information. Mr. Breckinridge, having put a long hypothetical question respect ing the amount of profit in wool grow ing in the United States tho witness re plied that be would find tiiat subject dis- cuaaed with great ability in tbo Presi dent's message of two years ago. A PETITION FOB TREK WOOL. F. P. Bennett, a reporter, wa* the next witness and said that two petitions v mid be presented to congress, one si^md by 590 persons in favor of free wool, and another signed by 906 persons in f.iror of an od valorem duty on wool, hi plooe of the present specific form of du:.mu « i' t • ‘ii i i. .» tli- 'name of J.

City op Mexico, via Galveston, Jan 2. —A telegram from Villo Laredo gives particulars of tho fall of the plaza last Tuesday while a bull fight was in pro gress.

When the second bull was being killed ut-tuly every puraou |iincut *050 and stood, applauding and stamping their feet, wlien suddenly one side of the plaza commenced to give way.

Among them were many ladies of the best fami lies of tho town. FOUGHT PACINO DEATH. Many fights occurred among the and many were stripped of every stitch of clothing.

Wiminoton, Del., Jan. 9.—In the su perior court this afternoon the jury in the case of Elizabeth B. McComb vs, the Southern Railroad Association, rendered a verdict in favor of tho plaintiff for tho full amount claimed, $2,204,100, being tlie heaviest ever given in a Delaware court. The plaintiff is the widow of the lato Col. Ii. S.

Tho verdict does little mote than establish the validity of the nlalutin'* claim, since tho assets will fall far below satisfying the judgment.

After a recess J. F. Gibbs of Greeley, Col., took tbe stand and gave a number of statistics relative to the cost of grow ing and marketing wpol in the West.
