WAsiiiXfiTo.v, May S.—When the House met yesterday Mr. Howell (111.) presented tho report of the committeo on elections on the Alabama contested election case of McDuillo vs. Turpin. Tho report (which favors tho claim of the contestant) was ordered printed.

Mr. McKinley (O.) moved to go into committee of tho whole for tho consideration of tho tariff bill. In making this motion Mr. McKinluy stated that ho would endeavor to close the general dobate Saturday evening The committeo on ways and means hud intended to ask tho cominttee on rules to report a resolution limiting the five-minute dobato to eight days, but had not done so on account of the absence of Mr. Carlisle.

Mr. McKinley's motion was agreed to without division, and accordingly tho House went, into committee of the wjiole (Mr. Payson, of Illinois, in tho chair) for tho consideration of the tarilT bill.

Mr. McKinley then took Die floor in support of tho bill. In the last political campaign, the tarill had been tho absorbing question before the people. Itseomed to him that no extended discussion of tliis principle was expected or required or necessary under existing conditions for, if any one thing was settled by the political contest of 1SS8, It was that the protective policy, as promulgated by the Republican pirty in its platform, as maintained by tho Republican party through a long series of years, should bo secured in any legislation which was to bo had by a Congress chosen in this great contest and on this mastering issue, lie Interpreted the victory to moan, ho interpreted tho majority in this House to mean, he interpreted the incumbency of the Presidency of tho United States by tho present Chief Kxecutivoto mean that a revision of tho tarill was demanded by tho people, and that that revision should be along tho lino and in full recognition of the principle and purposes of protection.

Tho bill reported to tho House was a thorough answer to the demand of tho people. The bill had not abolished the internal revenue tax, because that abolition was not necessary to preserve the protection system. If tho committeo recommendations as to the Internal revenue law should bo agreed to, internal taxation would be reduced a little more than $10,000,000. The reoomoiendations of the committeo tbatlmportod articles bear a mark indicating the country in which they were manufactured, was based on tho practice of many countries, which copied our best known brands and sold them in competition with tho liomo-ma.de product.. The commiit.oaiso recommended that-the Government should retain only 1 per cent., instead of 10 per cent, of the duty paid on tho raw material which was re-ex-ported in manufactured form. This gave the people of tho United States practically free raw "Tterial for the export trade. This prevision disposed of the Democratic argument that if the manufacturers had free raw materia! they could compete in the markets of the world.

Mr. Springer (111.) asked if this provision applied to wool. Mr. McKinley replied that it applied to evory tiling. He said that the assertion of the minority that the bill would not reduce the revenues was misleading. The instant duties were increased to a fair protective point that instant the importations diminished and tho revenues correspondingly diminished. Ho said if the bill should bccotne a law the revenues of the Government would be reduced 850.000,000 to S00.000.000.

After discussing tho bill more In detail Mr. McKinley said that under tho duties fixed by the bill the annual imports erf S2.V000,000 of agricultural products would be supplied to the peoplo of tho I'nited States by tho American farmer rather than by the Canadian farmer, and that 825,000,000 distributed among the farmers would relieve some of tho depression prevailing and give them confidence and courage and increased ability to raise the mortgages upon their farms. [Applause.] During the twolvo years of reciprocity with Canada tho United States had bought much more than it had sold. What Canada wanted, what other countries wanted, was a free and open market in tho United States. What the United States wanted, if it over had reciprocity, was reciprocity with equality, reciprocity that was fair, reciprocity that was just, reciprocity that would give her her share in the trade with the other countries of the world. Whenever the United States had had reciprocity or low duties it had always been the loser.

Mr. McKinley explained and defended tho wool schedule and tho paragraph in tho metal schedule concerning tin plate. Referring to the growth of the carpet industry in the United States he said that the price of carpets had gone down while tho ad valorem duty had gono up. It was tho high ad valorem that gentlemen on tho other side saw, while they shut their oyes to the diminished •price. Tho favorito assault of the Democratic free trader and rovenuo tariff reformer was to parade thiB high percentage and ad valorem equivalent to Bhow tho enormous burdon of taxation imposed on the people. Tho Democrats pursued tho shadow the Republicans enjoyed the substance.

Tho committee would encourage foreign trado and sustain it but what peculiar sanctity hung about the foreign market that did not attach to the domestic market? Was not the American consumer a better customer for the American manufacturer? Under tho sys

tem

of revenue tarid we bought more abroad than we sold ami paid the bali'.ncn In gold, an unhealthy state of affair* The organized opposition to the bill came from the consignees hero and the consignors and merchants abroad. A\ hy? Because it would check their business. The press of other countries had condemned the bill. Why? Because it works against them. This bill was an American bill,

made

for American inter

ests. Wo were nowexporting more products than at any time in our history. Our exports have increased 35 per cent, more than tho exports from free-trade Groat Britain. While Great Britain had between 1870 and 18S0 lost 18 per cont ol hot commerce, tho United States had

CRAWFORDSY1LLE, INDIANA- THURSDAY, MAY

gained 22 per cent. and, with the same aid to shipping that Great Britain gave, tho ships of the United States would plow every sea under tho American flag in successful competition with tho ships of tho world. [Applause.] On our Atlantic coast this year would bJ' produced 100,000 tons of shipping, built by American workmen of American material. Ws had enjoyed twonty-nino years of continuous protection—tho longest period since tho foundation of tho Government—and found ourselvos in greater prosperity than at any other time. In tho arts and sciences, In wealth, in National honor wo were at the front. In 1800, after fourteen years of revenue tarilT, tho country was in a state of depression. Wo had neither monoy nor credit. Wo had both now. We had a surplus revenue. Tho accumulations of tho working classes had increased their deposits In savings banks exceeded those of tho working classes of any other country. These deposits told their own story. The public debt of the United States per capita was less than that of any othor Nation of tho world. Wo lead all Nations in agriculture and mining. Could any

Nation furnish such evidence of prosperity? Yet men were found to talk about the restraints we put upon trade. Tho greatest good to tho greatest number, tho great opportunity for human endeavor, were the maxims upon which aur protective system rested. [Applause.]

At the conclusion of Mr. MeKlnley's speech ho was warmly congratulated personally by almost every Republican present, while thoeryof "Vote,""Vnuj," ivas heard all over tho western side of the hall.

MIS. MILLS* HF.l'I.Y.

Mr. Mills (Tox.) followed. lie dolared that this was tho first bill that had come before tho American people with its mask torn off—like a highwayman, demanding their purses. To check importation was to check exportation. Split hairs as you may, no man could show that wo might soli without buying. When we refused to take the products of other nations, that refusal was an interdiction against our exports, and as we removed tho barriers to freo exchange .we incroased our trado. Protection boiled down meant more work and loss result, and carried out to its conclusion It meant all work and no result. Pig-iron was the basis of all of our iron and steel manufactures. In 1871 priceB wore rising, after a period of depression, and the imports of pig-Iron wero increasing. From 2,500,000 tons in 1870 tho imports of pig-iron roso to 7,000,000 tons in 1S7!). If tho Republican doctrine was true then every ton Imported displaced a ton of American Iron. But tho figures showed that our domestic product rose from 52,000,000 tons In 1870 to 119,000,000 tons in 1S72. That showed conclusively that the Domocratic position was right, that Increased imports increased tho demand for American labor. Following out the figures, it was seen that from 1880 to 18S5, when tho imports of pig-iron dropped off, tho domestic production fell off more rapidly.

Mr. Mills criticised the provisions of the bill relating to bides, tin-piate*nl sugar and tlietYsnid: "At length these gentlemen vers brought to their knees nt the confessional and were bound to admit that there was widespread depression throughout the agricultural regions. What did the bill do to aid agriculture? It put sugar on tho free list, though all the Republicans did not come up like lltilo gentlemen and take sugar In theirs."

Gentlemen on the other side expressed sympathy for tho farmer and their zeal to relieve the distress which they nt length acknowledged surrounded the agriculturist. Two years ago the Democrats stood here and declared that the country was on tho edge of a dark shadow. The Republicans had ridiculed this, nnd had said that the farm mortgages were only a further evidence of prosperity and wealth.

Tho committee had found out that the wheat production was in danger and had increased the duty DO per cert The United States exported 00,000,0 0 bushels of wheat a year, and last ye .r it imported the startling amountof 1,1)40 bushels. Tho incroased duty was :o protect tho American farmer againat the pauper of India. Corn was to -o protected. Tho United States last yonr exported 09,000,000 bushels of corn and imported 2,8b8 bushels. The committee proposed to deliver the rye farmer from all peril. It was going" to speak wor ts of comfort to him and tell him that he would not have to compete with pauper labor. How much ryo did the United States import? Sixteen bushel'i. [Laughter.] Some adventurous farmer had bought this rye to improve his crop, and he was to be rebuked for this at tho Capitol of his Nation. The Republicans must do something more than this in order to fool the farmers. Tho farmers understood that they needod markets for their products. This hii 1 would almost stop tho exportation of agricultural products, and tnon tho Republicans would hear a storm worso than a Nobraska cyclone.

The Democrats would not impede thi passage of the bill, hut when the Republicans appear before the great American peoplo after passing this measure, may the Lord have mercy on their souls. [Applause.]

At tho ovoning session tho tariff debate was resumed. Mr. O'Donnel^ (Mich.) spoke strongly in favor of the sugar section. Mr. l'ost (111.) favoted tho bill and ..ook occasion to speak for the free coinage of silver. Mosi-s. Stewart (Ga.) and Ellis (Ky.) opposed tho bill and thou tho House adjourned.

Second Step In the American Fedorutlon of Labor'** Flan—Strong KftorU liclng Miido to Settle the Trouble

In IlUnol*. ...

ANOTIIF.K CiUKAT L.AHOU MOVEMENT. I'lrrsHUnoii, Pa., May S. Within the next two weeks Pittsburgh is to become the center of another great labor movement. which will extend throughout tho entire United States. It will involve about 75,000 eoal miners and will bo conducted by the American Federation of Labor, being the second slop on the part of that organization to introduce eight hours as a working day. Tho miners aro thoroughly organized and aro uflliiated with the federation. Tho movement has been brewing for a long time. Tho miners aro distributed principally through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois. The largest number of them aro in Pennsylvania. About 15,000 are in tho western end of tho State, near Pittsburgh, which place will undoubtedly be tho starting point of the movement

William Martin, vico-ptosident of the American Federation of Labor, said yesterdny: "Wo regard the battle of the carpenters and joiners fyr eight hours fully won. The results ure far beyond our expectations. Now we como to tho miners, it has been decided to lot them make the move just as soon as they aro ready."

Tho coal operators aro greatly alarmed at the prospect. They claim that there are not more than half enough miners at present, and that a reduction of hours would probably ruin tho business.

TIIK II.MNOIS 11INKKS.

CHICAOO, May 8.—Tho indications are now that thoro will bo no general strike In the Northern Illinois mining district. The executivo committee of the miners' organization, William Scaife, of Coal City J. H. Mcllao, of Columbus. O. David Ross and Patrick Mcltride, were in town Wednosdny. Their business was to pave the- way for a settlement of the troubles.

Tho Northern operators declared at tho late convention that they would grant an increase if the Southern operators would do likewise. The miners concluded that a strike in the Northern mines would avail them nothing as long as the Southorn -mines kept at work. Hence thoir first efforts are directed towards organizing tho Southern miners. After they shall havo been organl/ed an effort will bo made to compel tho Southern operators to grant tho demands of tho men.

The committee of njiners spoken of above is endeavoring to get tho consent of the Northern operators to an agreement that if at any time during the year ending May 1, 1S91, there shoufti bo a general advanco paid for mining coal in the Northern llilnoiH conl ttelila, or should a general advanco in tho prico of mining be made in Southern Illinois and oilier mining districts with which the ooal of the party of the lirst part has to compete in tho general mar cut, the prico of mining and of day wages will bo advanced so as to mak- th. price paid for mining and for invido and outside labor respectively equivalent tn the highest price p_jiid for sueli labor in such competing mining district*:.

This statement wotiH it to work about 12,000 men who are now idle in tho Northern Illinois coal fields, thus reducing the contingent of posstblo strikers In tho coal mines of this Stato to about 1H,000 instead of 25.000.

LONOI I- POINT, QUO.. May TIN ruined asylum again caught lire Wodnesday at the laundry where sevoral hundred patients were sheltered. The lire was the work of a maniac, as in tho case of the asylum itself. Tho Montreal lire brigade was (|uii ».ly on the s-t and soon had the Dames under control. There are quite !(00 patients missing and man ,- are roaming at large all over the island. An epidemic of incendiarism seems to exist and reports are coming in that tho maniacs are firing barns and outbuildings. Convents and places of refuge around the asylum are crowded with anxious seekers for lost friends, but the nuns can give no information. Dr. Duquette asserts that the supposition that all tho men were saved is not correct

Many of the patients aro dying from exposure and fright, and Archbishop Fabroand an army of priests aro administering to them the last sacraments. Consul General Ktiapp lias been at the asylum endeavoring to help inmates from the Uni.ed States.

As the full details of tho Longue I'ointe asylum firo beeomo known tho horror is intensified. It is known by tho last report to the Quebec Government that there were 1,7S0 inmates in the building instead of 1,300. It is now said that there are 150 dead.

Tho coroner, with Premier Morcior, Judge Dugas, Senator Tliibaudoau and two crown Ministers, arrived at tho asylum Wednesday afternoon. It is now known that many of tho wards wero locked, and that In cases where the firemen did not broak in the doors scores of people perished miserably. Paying pationts fared best Tho great loss was among those confined in tho upper stories and among those imprisoned in tho dark basement cells. Firo Commissioner Perry characterizes the buildings as death traps and a disgraco to a civilized country. A startling report current is that a large nuinbor of the male patients who wero thought to havo escaped perished in tho ilamrts. It is absolutely impossible, however, to add any new names to tho list of dead. It will be weeks before the nuns will bo able to give any information.

CONSPIRACY AT JOLIET

Discovery of an Alleged l'lot by Which tlio Ci'onln Murderers "Were to lie JieleilHril.

Jm.iKT, 111., May 8.—A huge sensation was unearthed in the penitentiary Wednesday afternoon, and four convicts, including Burke, tho Cronin murderer, aro now confined in tho solitary. The ofUcors became aware that a conspiracy ITM IMUIJ haloliod and brought into tho ottleo Convicts Burke, Sahell, who is an ex-policeman of Chicago, Kavanaugli nnd Myers, alias Muldoon. Tho four wero stripped and on each was found a big roll of monoy and on Iturko a bottlo of whisky. Myers also had a letter to his friends asking for monoy to bo sent in care of a certain foreman who has been thoro fourteen years. This was tho foreman for Winterbotham & Son, owners ol the cooper-shop in the prison. Myers said that tho foreman had been supplying the convicts in tho cooper-shop with letters and carrying letters from them to outsiders, and also tiiriiishing thom with delicacies for which they paid. The foreman's horse and buggy was In a shod locked vp, he only having a key. In his buggy .,-ero found several packages of sugar, sardinos, whisky, cake and other stuif for tho convicts. Warden llerggron ordered the foreman frofu the prison. Tho latter's friends say It is a put-up job by the convicts because he is severo with thom, but this is laughed at by the ollleers. It is well known that tho entire all'alr has not yot gTS? out of the prison, and it is said that a conspiracy for a wholesale escape, including the three Cronin murderors, was about to bo made, and that tho solitary is full of prisoners.

WASIII.VCITO.V, May 8.—After some routino business had boon transacted the Senate on Wednesday, per agreement at last Friday's session, took up the bill authorizing the issuo of Treasury notes on deposit of silver bullion. A strong eilort was made to further postpone its consideration until next Tuesday, but opposition being made bySenator Vest (Mo.) tho debate began.

Senator Sherman (O.) moved to amend the bill by inserting as a new section a provision repealing all laws that require money deposited in the Treasury under section 5,222 of the revised statutes to be held as a special fund for tho redemption of National bank notes and covering such money into the Treasury also covering into tlio Treasury such deposits under section 4 of the act of Juno 20, 1874, "fixing tho amountof United States notes."

Efforts woro again mado to socuro postponement until Tuesday. Finally tho diillculty was got over for tho day by tho suggestion on tho part of Senator Sherman that tho Senate proceed to oxecutivo business.
