The first part Ihis speech was a presentation or Its and figures to show the urgent pd of doing something for Cuba, Bit after that be turned to the po litical phase of t'ne question ami de livered a talk to bis democratic breth ren that evoked a round of applause. •‘tt ib\ true.” he eaid, ”thafc tine democratic platform of Ib'Jis condemn ed not reciprocity, but the sham re ctprocity of the McKinley laws, but this bill calls for a horizontal reduc tion ol 20 per cent on everything. For my part, I cannot decline to accept free trade with one eountrv use I cannot get tt still freer, and because 1 cannot get free with all countries. It wp are to nave free trade there must be a beginning. The beginning is now, and as 1 cannot get more t am ready to accept this. If the deni ocratie party stands for tariff redue tion. as I have been taught to be lieve, it is not clear to me how the party’s position on that question wii, be made plain to the country, if it refuse to vote for this bill, the only mu before this body with a single item of tariff reduction •- <t. It is not clear to me now we can sustain ourselves by refusing to accept a slight reduction of tee tariff on th< ground that we cannot get a com plete reduction. Kesults as well as principles are involved. “I know that those who are respon sible for this bill disclaim that it even hints at tariff reform, but no repub lican leader would call any bill re ported by him a tariff Reform bill. If this bill is really a protective meas ure, It is intended to still more tight ly bind the American consumer, wny has the republican ways and means Committee waited four long months before presenting it? Wny did they Spend night alter night m sweat and turmoil, trying to find enough repub lican votes to pass it? Why do stal wart protectionists refuse to support it on the ground that .. is in strict accord with the principles oi ne dem ocratic party? "Thoee of the republican leaders who are wise and far-sighted enougn to read the band writing on the waii that if the greed and rapacity of the protected classes are allowed t. O stand in the way of the just and humane performance by this government of its duty to Cuba, it will mean the over throw of protection and the downfall of the republican party. This Is why ._ey have labored so earnestly to pro cure enough republican Votes to pass the bill. They do not wish the atten tion of the country called to their hu- millatlng position of being unable to maintain the .onor and keep the faith *of th's country without the aid of democratic votes, and all because the : protected classes have become so bold as to announce that the only interest | and aim 01 the republican party shall be to maintain and fatten them. ‘‘This bill, therefore, comes to us after long discussion and delay on the part of the republicans merely to sat isfy in part a public sentiment that cannot be trifled with) That it Is merely a sop to public sentiment Is shown the long delay, b.v the many caucuses., by the meagre concession— meagre in amount and meagre in the time that it is to operate—and by the conditions imposed on Cuba. I am persuaded that public sentiment and pot,lie JustK" a t net going to be satisfied with this bill, because it goes too far in Its dcir.au is on Cuba, and not far enough in its concessions to ber. “The discussion we are now having deals with a state of ahairs In the ■lajority party never before since 1 have been here. 1 did not ex pect to see a division in their ranks, and still less a division over the mat ter of protection. This division shows that the leaven of tariff reform Is at work. The republican leaders, controllable bv them, have made an through stress of circumstances un advance toward the democratic posi tion-only 20 per cent., but an ad vance. Because ol' this advance shall we abandon our position? What be comes of our vaunted faith and cour age) in our position if we are to be driven from it in order that republi cans may seize and profit by it? Tariff reform cannot be intrusted to its ene mies'or left in the keeping of those who have made reform a necessity, and every victory that tariff reform wins in the public mind must redpund to uie good ol the democratic party."

REPEAL OF THE WAR TAXES. Mr. Cannon Believes the Surplus Will Not Be Greatly Reduced. Washington, April 18.-—Representa * committee on appropriations, said to day that the repeal of the war taxes would not necessarily greatly reduce the surplus of the government receipts 'over expenditures during tine next fiscal year. He had examined careful ly, he said, the probable effect on the treasury, aWd although he appre ciates tlie difficulty of making an. ac curate forecast, he believed there would still boa surplus of many mil lions next year. Last year when certain war taxes were repealed, It was’predicted that the government receipts would be reduced as a consequnce to the extent of $10,000,000 during the fiscal year, the present indications are, nowever,' that the loss on this account will not exceed $30,000,000.

HE ID FRIENDS MUCH ALARMED ♦— RECENT ASSIGNATION OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR ONE OF THE MANY ALARMING SYMPTOMS. .. . M. SIPIAGUINE OWED POSITION TO THE INFLUENCE OF A BOSOM FRIEND OF THE CZAR. St. Petersburg, April 16. —Although M. Sipiaguine, the minister of the in terior, who was assassinated April 15. was not actually the leader of the reactionary party in Russia, he was the tool of those who, in the opinion of many, were responsible for the prevailing situation. His assassina tion, easily explicable in the present, political condition, was hailed with joy in radical circles. For a month there liad been daily rumors of Sipiaguine’s impending res ignation, owing to disagreements with the governor general of Moscow, the Grand Duke Sergius, who fias been supporting the novel policy toward the working classes instituted by M. Tre poff, the police prefect of Moscow, which includes the organization of la bor unions under police coni-ei. The murdered minister's name was also mied up with the histories of the financial irregularities charged against so many officials ar present iaguiiie spent lmifiense sums in re decorating his residence. A single was accused of appropriating 500.- 000 roubles from the secret' service chandelier cost 50,fi(i0 roubles and ho funds. The ueceased was by no me? ns talented and owed his position to in fluential friends, especially to Count Shermeticff, the bosom friend of Czar Alexander 111. and the old dowager czarina, who is largely unaer Count Shermetleff's influence. Shortly before Sipiaguine was ap pointed minister ol the interior he married the sister of Count Sherinet ieff’s wife, Princess Viasemski, a bril liant woman 36 years old, who Is now a warm friend ot the czarina. Count Shermetw ff was deeply interested In Lieutenant General Prince Viasemski. The latter, who was a member of She council of tne empire, was recent ly reprimanded by the czar for his protests against the action of the po lice during the popular demonstra tions of the early part of last year, and he is said to have left Russia to ivold the consequences ot his pro tests. OMcials here privately admit that the murder of Sipiaguine was one of many exceedingly alarming symp toms. It was learned that the chateas ot the duke’ of Mecklenburg in southeast Russia was recently pillaged nd then razed by rioters. The young clerk named Orloff, who was compromised in the revolutionary movement and who hanged himself In prison, belonged to a group ol pris oners who refused food and were ar tificially fed. The death of Sipiaguine affects the chances of Murray A. Virner, the mil lionaire Pittsburg contractor, of se cuing the St. Petersburg tramway franchise, as the deceased was a no table supporter of Mr. Verner’s prop osition and overruled the committee who had recommended the Westing house offer. The matter is possibly now indefinitely postponed. Many people think that the death of Sipi aguine will help the aspirations ol M. De Wits, the finance who has long been ambitious to be come imperial chancellor, or at least obtain control of the ministry of tne interior. Unusually grave labor out breaks are reported at Yekateermosfav Poltava, Voronej and Tambouav. The details are rigorously suppressed. Williams to Run for Governor. Columbia, S. C., April 18.—L. J. Williams, of Edgefield county, who has been a member of the dispensary board of control for a number of years and now cuairman of the board, has formally announced himself <n,ip date for governor. *
