BISMARCK. The Returned Lasker Resolution and the Accompanying Corra-spondence,
Action of the House Referred to Foreign Affairs Committee Without Debate.
the
All the documents relative to tbe Lasker resolution were transmitted by the President to tho House of Representatives oa tho 10th of Mtiroh, and tho reading of them was 11stoncd to with breathless interest Mr. Hiscock, or Now York, Immediately offered a resolution, which was referred to tho Committee on Foreign Affairs, rociUng that, as a friendly and respectful communication to the Parliament of the German Empire had been Intercepted arbitrarily by a "person" now holding tho osUlon of Chancellor of the Germnn Empire, tho House cannot but express mrprlso and regret that it should bo oven temporarily within theuowor of a single subject to Interfere with such a s'mplc expression of kindly feeing totwecn two great nat ons; that tho Hoi.s reiterates its expression of sincere regret at tho death of Edouard LasKer end its sympathy with tho Parliament of tho German Empire. Among the documents sunt to the Hnuso by the President relating to tho now famous Lnsker resolution aro a number of telegrams which passed between Secretary Prolingbuysen and Minister r-argont relative to the return of the resolution by Bismarok, to which Mr. Siuvcnt said that he had been wholly disregarded. Next Is a memorandum of a conversation March 7 between Secretary Frolinghtiysen and Horr Von Eisondocker, tho German Minister, in which tho latter presented the following dispatch from Bismarck returning tho resolution: rrranRlatlon. FRnronirRsntniE, Feb. 9, last. The Envoy of tho Vnitcd fitatesof America Iirs communicated, with a note dated the 1st inst., tho text of a resolution of the American Honse of Representatives, dated tho 9th of January, in which the House expresses regret at tho death of Dr.Edounrd Lasker, Every appreciation which the personal qualities of a German may receive in ft foreign country can not but be pleasing to our national fix-Hues, especially whan emanating from each an important body as the American House of Representatives. I should, therefore, have gratefully received Sargent's communication, and should have asked his Majestv the Emperor to empower me to present it to tho Reichstag, if the resolution of the uth of January did not at the same time contain an opinion on the direction and effects of the political action of Representative Lasker which is opposed to mv convictions. In the resolution It is said In relation to the deceased that "his firm and constant exposition of frccand liberal ideas hare materially advanced the social, political, and economic condition of tlioso people." From my knowledge of the course that the political and economic development of tho German people has taken, I can not regard this opinion as one in accordance with the facts I have witnessed. I would not venture to oppose my judgment to that of an illustrious assembly like that of the House of Representatives of (he United States if I had not gained, during an active participation in German international politics of more than thirty years, an experience which encourages inc to attach also to my opinion certain competency within these, limits, I can not make up my mind to ask his Majesty the Emporoi for tbe necessary authorization to communicate the resolution of the House of Representatives of the United States to tbe Ger
man Reichstae, because I should therewith have to officially indorse myself, and also to indorse, with his Majesty the Emperor, an opinion which I am unable to recognize as just.

from Secretary Krollnghuyscn to Minister Sargent and is as follows.
Depabtment of State. Washington. March
10, 1884. Mr: I inclose a copy of the note of

man Minister, and which states that Prince Bis
marck declines to be the medium 01 communication between the House of Representatives of
the United States and tho Reichstag of the resolution on the subject of the death of Mr. Lasker. The resolution was passed by the House with tbe most courteous motives, for the sinelo pur
pose of expressing sympathy with the cortospnnding branch of government of. a friendly nation in the loss of one C' its distinguished members, wbr iSsJ withln the national jurisdictiop "".f fTonnresM. If snv other nuroOBA

of this republic, as proven by the bis
tort of a century.- to obtrude upon other nations sound rolitical principles upon which our own rno'Doritv is founded should have
counteracted that surmise. In the customary order of trani.mlssIon the resolution came Into tbe possession of his Excellency, who is pleased to explain the emliarrassmont nndor which he conceives he wouH labor by forwarding it to its destination.

ENDED HIS BLACK CAREER.
Rantfe, the Slaughterer of Thirteen Victims, Hangs Himself in His Cell.
History of a Career Calculated to Congeal the Blood of the Vilest Wretch on Earth.
When tho keeper of the solitary In the Illinois Penitentiary, at Jollet, opened the ceil In which the murderous convict, Frank Hondo, was confined, on tho morning of tho 7th tost., be was surprised to find the iron grated door covered with tho clothing of Ramie. Unlocking tho grated door be found some little effort was ro tulred to open It, but when he bad offocted an cntranoa tbo cause was plain, for, suspended from tho grati ng by the neck was the lifoloss and almost naked body of II-.0 noted desp d. lio had mads the most careful preparations for committing suicide, evidently intending that nothing should prevent him from accomplishing his purpose. He had removeii all his clothing except bis drawers and s:oekings, and after
tearing bis unUerthirt into strip;, had mado from them and his suspenders a lopo strong enough for his purpose. Ho then fastened his coat and vest to tho bars of tho door in order to protect his naked body from tbo chilly iron, and after laying his trourers on tho floor at tbo bottom cf tho door, ho placed his water-bucket thurcon in order to bavo something on which to stand while fastonlng the rope at tho uppor bars of the door. These preparations being coinplcto ho had only to fasten tho rope properly around
ms neck ana kick 1110 ouokot away from mm and in 11 fow minutes all was over. When found his body was cold, yet it presented a very nuturnl appearance, for the feet restod on the floor, the hands hung down the sides, tho eyes were wide open, and the head was turned a littlo to 0110 side. A Coroner's jury was summoned, and it took but a short time for them to resolve upon a verdict of willful suicide by hanging. Varden McClaughrey wont to Vonde's cell tho previous evening and immediately on entering it tho convict greeted htm with much excitement, and insisted that the Warden should send for ox-Sheriff Hitchcock, of Peoria, and State's Attorney Tunneoliffn, of Ualcshurg, saying, "When you throo are together I will tell you something wonderful." To this request tne Warden made no reply, nnd just a he was leaving the coll Kantle hogged him to toko him out and hang him, "1 cannot do that," replied tho Warden, but never fear, you will bo hanged soon enough." In a drawer belonging to the work bench of Hando, in tbo harness-shop among other things was found the cover of an old memorandum book, on the ins:do of whloh was written, in the handwriting of the dead desperado, a number of entries, the first of which is dated July 4, 1H7, some six months prior to his arrest. Among tho entries were the following, alt dated July is, 1877. Mrs. Mary Carroll and several others. Canton. Man and wife and a girl at Savllle. A German woman and her son at the house with a big tree sv n or eight miles from Davenport, ChlcaKO, Rock Island Pacific. Dr. Hamrack will testify 10 my attempt at suicide I lost five or six quarts of blood. These entries aro supposed to refer to crimes committed by tho dead assassin. There were a number of others which could not be deciphered, but in the back of his dictionary waa found the following in Randc's handwriting: I don't want to ro to heaven. There ain't nothing there I'm going to hell, the big place. 1 ain't soim? to heaven. I tell you God brains
people brains 'em. Perhaps that is the reason
so manv u n cranas are o aiuuuus 10 po w heaven to itvt brained, and also escape tho perils
of hard work.
A stramrcr appeared at tbe prison and of
fered the Warden $1,000 for the body or ltande and tho cell-door upon whloh tho des
perado ended his life. His proposition --.e
not entertained.
TARIFF TALK.
HANDE'S DESPERATION.
Fiendish Assault Upon Deputy McDonald. The final chapter in tho annals of this icyhearted libertine and murderer is dated March 1. Deputy Warden John McDonald was in tho shoo shop. While his back was turned to Hando that Horn) picked up an iron poker, unnoticed and approaohed, tho prison olUciul with velvet tread. Ho hit him over tho head and McDonald fell to the floor. The shop keeper. Madden, intercepted tho second blow and seized Hando, who forced him down. Hundo followed this up with on assault with a shoe knife on Madden. Several convicts canio to tho rescue. Une oi them. Raab, wrenched tho knifo from Hando's hand and choked him. Deputy Garvin arrived just In time to rescue Hando from sevore punishment by Forcral convicts who had gathered around. On the way to the sol tary with Hando Garvin was forced to put a builot In the hido of tho monster, who bad inado an attack on him. Tbo cur continued his attack, when Deputy Ed McDonald planted a bullet In his oar. This Font Hando to the earth with a scream. Ho was taken to the hospital, where his conscience, or bisscowardice, drove .him to put an end to bis own miserablo existence. It is, probably, well that he did so. Had bo lived, he might, with the assistance of some shrewd lawyer, play the Insanity dodgo on somo sentimental Jury that would have recommended an asylum for bis relief and comfort. Baude had learned tbe day before bis euleido, for the first time, that his assault upon tho Deputy was not a fatal one, and that his victim was in a fair way to recover. The information seemed to irritate him very much, as he had not supposed that any man could live after receiving such a blow as ho had Inflicted. After recovering consciousness Hando snidthat it hud boon his intention for somo time to kill McDonald, beecauso tho Deputy had caused him to be chained to the iron door of his ceil for several days, as a punishment for somo offense.
A 1ILACK CAREER.
A story of Human Depravity Almost Too Horrible for Credence. Tho bcoks of the Joliot Prison show that Hando vs) received at that institution Feb. S3, li 78, on a life sentence. His right name was Charles C. Scott- His early years wore 'passed in Fairfield, Iowa, where his people live. In IS77 he was known to have klllca no loss than five persons, and is now supposed to have murdered thirteen victims In all. Ho had gloried in the various titles of "American Brigand," "Knox County Desperado," "St, Louis Pawnshop Fiend," "Brilliant Bandit of tho Wabash," and othor equally bloody and Interesting titles. His career in tho prison had been mutinous In the extreme. Again and again had he been placed in irons for Inciting various disturbances among his fellow-convicts, by whom ho bad been cordially detested. Born in Pennsylvania in 1830, the son of a blnokamlth, ltande moved to Fairfield, Iowa, thirty years ago. He lived for a time tho life of a hunter and trapper, while his sneaking and cowardly disposition gradually unfold d and finally blossomed out into that of tho most unprincipled and bloodthirsty villain tho oountry has over snen. After serving five years In the Michigan City (Ind.) Penitentiary for grand larceny, he commenced his cars -r as a murderer. After robbing a gunsmith of several revolvers, ho broke into a farm house near Galesburg, 111., whilo the inmates were at church, leaving the houte, with his plunder, through n corn-fleld. The farmer, discovering his loss, alarmed soveral neighbors,' and, following tho robber's traok, soon surrounded him. ltande tnndo good use of his rovolrors and escaped, leaving in a corn-field tho dead todies of three or his pursuers. Tho horrified and outraged community scoured the country for mllos around to find' tho murderer, but in vain. A littlo mora than a week later Hando robbed another house at St. Elmo, 111., near Effingham, on the Vaudalia road, lie was pursued by tbo citizens, surrounded In a pio;e of woods, and again escaped, leaving, as a memento of his tondishnesH, the bullet-riddled todies of John Scales, Frank Wiseman, and Frank Barnes. Finding tho country be: oming decidedly too hot for him, Hando wont to Indianapolis, whore, while living in the constant society of tho moeldepraved characters, ho maliciously provoked the anger of a fellow-reprobate, who called In an officer. Hando again escaped, after shooting two or three ollkers, and noxt turned up In St. Louis. There ho shot two men In a pawn-scon before he was finally overpowered. His trial in Knox County, 111., was lookoi upon as a libel of tho most disgraceful nature, as it saved tbe murderer's nook from the gallows.
HANDE'S KIT.
An Instance of Lax Prison Discipline. Tbo authorities of tho Joliot Prison owed tho well-nigb fatal assault which Hando made upon thorn to thoir inoxeusablo carelessness. In tho pockets of tbo desperado wcro found a sharp deadly weapon, known in tho saddlery business as a "look eyo punch;" a monkey wrench, a sboo-knifo, an awl-handle, a small slnte, a woe ion model, iiott los of oil and o-lyc-crlne, sponges, cotton batting, a tin tube, an almanac, a comb, a oopperheaded spike, lead pencils made by himself out of harness blacking, buttons, rivots, sheets of paper with oxtracts of nows about tho James boys and Voungor brothers, a pocket Bible used as a scrap book, 100 homeopathic powdors, spools of thread and pages from a book of chemistry. A Calling gun and an ammunition wagon would have completed bis outfit.

Text of the Majority and Minority Ke
ports Accompanying' the Document.
Lii.man Htissr.i.t.is now singing In France, but as tbo dudo has not yot boon cultivated in that country to any great extent ner success has not boon groat.
The majority and minority reports of the Ways and Means Committee on tho Morrison tariff bill were submitted to the House on tho
11th of March. Tho division was upon strict
parry linos, lite majority report was prepared by Mr. Morrison, while Mr. McKinley,
of Ohio, formulated the views of tho minor
ity. Wo present herewith a brief abstract of
-no two reports: The Majority Report. Tho maloritv sav that the committee has
sought to present a fcheme of tariff duties to
wiucn substantial reductions snouia oe tne uistineuishinir feature. The average reduction in
rates, including that from the enlargement of
me iree 11st anu tne aoontlon OI duties on charges and commissions, Is not less than 30 per cent. , and may reach 2$ per cent, Tbe majority report says: ' The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, in explanation of the bill before the Senate last year, which, after various amendments, hecamo a law, estimated at f45,u0u,000 the reduction In revenue which would follow the changes in the tariff. These calculations have not lieeu verified. So the question still presses, What leglslatioft Is necessary to relieve the people of unnecessary taxes? Your committee find that in tbe six months ending Dec. 3, 1H83, merchandise was imported into the I'nited States valued at tm,Hii,l09, on wldoh duties were paid amounting to t.5l4.m beta? 40.01 ner cent.
on the value thereof. In the corresponding six months of 188Q, under the old law, the value of dutiable imports amounted to $300,956,273, and the duty paid was f tll.3rA,r0T, or4Z85 per cent, on the value. It thus apt) ears that the average cost of importing was only 1.74 per cent, less under the new than nnder the old law. The nominal reduction made by the proposed bill is 20 per cent. , or one-fifth the present rate. With the Morrill tnrlff limitations in the bill, and the liquor and silk schedules omitted, the actual reduction will not exceed 16.74 per cent. The average reduction made In the tariif-commlsskm bill and that to be made by the proposed bill, together, do not equal the reduction at which the commission aimed. "The decrease in revenue, as shown by the receipts under the new law, other than that resulting from the nominal reduction of 1.74 per cent., results from the falling off of nearly fi5,00,0"0 of the imports in the first halt year tinder tho nt w law, as compared with the first half of the previous year under the old law. Tho reduction of revenue under tho bill reported is estimated at &ii,ooo,OD, on the basis of last year's Imports. To the extent of that 11,000,000 the bill wiU relieve the people of unnecessary taxes. To- that extent taxes will be reduced directly as a measure of justics to consumers, and indirectly in largely increased proportions. From tha statement made by the Burean of Statistics, it appears that the duties or tariff taxes were decreased on some nnd increased on other articles under tho new law hut. while this is true, there has been no increase in waccs in any. but a reduction of wages in most industries, as well as in those whose competing products received more, as In those that obtained leas protection under tho act of March last," Referring to the condition of the Iron and steel trade, as one of the ieartins manufactures, the report attributes tho depression and the enforced idleness of the workingmen to the enormities of tho protective system, and declares that as such calamities always fall noon the laborers, the committee had decided to report a bill for the partial relict of the people from unnecessary taxes. Views of the Minority. The minority of the committee, comprising all the Bcpubllcan members, object to the passage of the bill on the ground that Congress made a cencral revision of the tariff at its last session, warranted by the fact that there had been no general revision since 1864-05. The new tariff has been to operation '" J- . too short a time. to. ....oil a practical test Thu 'nil! reported by the majority proposes a reduction of 20 per cent, and not a single interest in the I'nited States has asked for It On the contrary, every Interest represented before the committee manufacturing, laboring, and agricultural has protested against it. The free tiade clubs of New York and Brooklyn, represented by a number of so-called political economists, have urged not this reduction alone, but the entire abolition of import duties which in any way discriminate in favor of American producers. While all unite in opposipg reduction, some interests assert the necessity at on increase of duties for the maintenance of the industry and the labor employed therein. The wool growers of the country, representing every State in the Union, demand the restoration of the wool duty of 1M7. While the minority have sought to respond favorably to this demand of more than a million of their fellow-citizens, the majority, not content with a refusal of the request or this larne class of producers, deliberately propose to reduce tho duties still lower. While opiiosing a irenoral revision, the minoiity think that there arc inoqual.tles which ought to be corrected. Among these, they say, wire rods, cotton tics, and tinjriates bear greatly disproportionate duties to kindred articles and should be made consistent and harmonious. The bill, the minority say, is not proper at tlii time, because, first.lt will disturb business; second, it will of necessity force down the price of labor to the United States; third, this proposed reduction will inevitably increase foreign importation, and as a consequence increase our revenues, to which every interest of the country is opposed ; fourth, it is wholly unnecessary, unjustifiable, and in every respect and to every Amcricf n interest only hurtful; tiftb, it has none of the elements ot a carefully matured tariff bill; sixth, the feature of the bill which applies ad valorem rates to most of the schedules affected bv It Is especially objectionable, liccause it will greatly increase the existing evil of undervaluation, and consequent frauds upon the revenue, as well as to so complicate the rule of assessment of dnties,as to greatly embarrass the administration of tbe law. The minority conclude as follows : Tn the belief that the late tariff legislation would remaiu without material change for a period of years, business lias adjusted Itself to it, and producers have entered into contracts snd generally arranged their business, in character and volume, in conformity with it. All classes of our people have relied u)wn its reasonable tiermanence and freedom from immediate and radical changes, so that cverv consideration appeals to Congress to let the present law alone, and permit the business of the country to proceed without legislative disturbance. What the country wants most is relief from Con(rression-'l agitation. All of the Industries of tho country are extremely sensitive, and just at this time, when business is more or less depressed in everv branch, the threat or fear of a change introduces an clement of uncertainty and disturbance throughout the country, the evil effects of which no one can foresee. Twenty per cent reduction, or any reduction, however slight, following so close upon the redactions, made last winter, cannot bo defended as to a single schedule of the tariff, and as to many it can he shown to be wholly disastrous. We believe that, af t r a sufficient trial of the effect of the last revision, if It shall appear that the industrial interests of the country can be maintained with, and the condition of tbe treasury will justify, a further revision, such action will be more wifely undertaken by the friends of the protective system and with less disturbance to the publio prosperity than if done now by tho avowed advocates of tho destruction of ths American system of protection.
