MR. BRYAN TALKS FOR FREE WOOL.

Hi* Oratory the Leading Feature of the Session—A lldl fur Moro \Var*hip« Introduced in the S«nnt«-

Other 1'rocoedinga

1IKYAN ON TUB TAItlFT.

Washington. March 17.—The speeeh o£ Mr. Bryan (Neb.) on.the free wool bill was the feature of Wednesday's session in the house. Ilis argument was ingenious uud his illustrations bright and appropos to bis remarks. One of the best of those illustrations was wheu he said the protection theory reminded hira of his days on the farm, when they used to raise sunken corners of fences by putting a beam under the corner, placing a chuck in the middle and then bearing down on the ether end it raised the fence but the burden was felt somewhere. Tho protectionist, he said,took hold of an infant industry, then looked around for a good fat lot of consumers to serve as a chuck. "Up went the infant industry, but down ivent the consumers," biii'l Mr. llr.yau, nnd his colleagues applauded. Mr. liryan was down for only two hours, but the house gave him another hour and then wanted him to keep on. ,:

No Sticrp I.eft,

Mr. liryan said be was in perfect sympathy with the majority of the committee oil ways and means in its decision to attack the tariff in detail. The main reason for preferring this plan was that there was some possibility of bringing relief from the burdens of the present law in this way. There had been a time in tho history of Nebraska when its people had one sheep per capita—the mutton age, so to speak. Hut, alus, that day had passed. Now, if every woman in the state named Mary wanted a pet she would have oto go out of the state to get lambs to go round. Mr. liryan said, iu conclusion:

IILh Argument.

After saying that the average production of wool is about six ami a half pounds per sheep that we consume in this country about six and a half pounds of wool per capita and produce about lour ami a half pounds per capita. Mr. Pry an continued: "The compensatory duties, which it is proposed to entirely remove, were intended to transfer to the consumer the burden which a tariff upon wool In id upon the manufacturer of wool Roods. Therefore, whntever increased price the manufacturer pays to the farmer he takes out of the consumer. On an average consumers have been compelled lo pay, because of the tariff on wool, nearly r»Q per eout. more than the raisers of sheep could possibly have received, and it is possible, under the present law, lor the manufacturer to .collect from the consumer a great deal more than he pays to the farmer. "Hut the. gentlemen have assured us that a protective tariff reduces the price of the article protected. They tell the fanner that the tariff increases the price of his wool, and yet they expect us to believe that a tariff upon manufacture reduces prices. We have the interesting spectacle of a manufacturer begging for a ldtfh tariff in order to make his goods cheaper. And why does he want 10 make hia goods cheaper? He tells us that is in order that lie may pay higher wngev to his laboring men. and then we are Mt to wonder if the tariff has been imposed upon agricultural products for tho purpose of cheapening them.''

Kologlzed Ills Party*

'•The country has nothing to fear from the democracy upon the tariff question. It means a more equal distribution of the great advantages of this country. It means that tne men who produce the wealth shall retain a larger hare of it. It means that enterprise shall be employed in natural and profitable industries, not in unnatural industries. It meaus morecoustant employment for labor and better pay. It means the'maximum of production from the minimum of toil.' It means commerce with other countries, and ships to carry on that commerce. It means prosperity everywhere, aud not by piecemeal. It is for this reason that ttoe young men of the country are coming to the democratic party, as Mr. Clarkson, that high republican authority, declared. It is because wc are right, and right will triumph."

As Mr. Hryan took his scat he was the recipient of the wannest and heartiest congratulatipns of his party colleagues. The committee then rose and the house adjourned.

Other Proceeding*.:

Earlier in the session Mr. Joseph (N. M.), from the committee on territories, reported a bill for the admission of New Mexico as state of the union. House calendar. Mr. Smith (A. T.)» from the same committee, reported a bill for tho admiss.ou of Arizona. Same order.

Mr. Goodnight (Ky.), from the com* mittee. on judiciary, reported back adversely a resolution preferring charges against Andrew P. McCormiek, United States district judge *for the northern district of Texas. The report was agreed to and the resolution was laid upon the table.

Senator PetiTcr'a Latent.

Washington, March 17.—In the senate Senator Peflfer (Ivan.) by request, introduced a bill "creating a fund for tho payment of pensions, fur setting our army of idle men at work on extensive public improvements for removing the strongest incentive to crime among the poor and vice among the rich, and for the protection of Americans from the undue influence of alien labor/' all of which objects it was proposed to accomplish by a graduated scale of taxation on income and real estate.

To lluilrt More 'Warships.

Washington, March 17.—In the senate Senator Hale (Me.) from the committee on naval affairs favorably reported the bill for the construction by contract of three battleships, two army coast defense vessels, five gunboat sand eight first-class torpedo boats, and appropriating

£3,000,000

toward the con­

struction of the ships and SI,000,000 for armament. Silver 1HI1 Amendment*.

Washington, March 17.—When the silver bill comes up next Tuesday for debate the anti-silver men will attempt to amend it by mincing pensions and deposits in savings' banks payable in gold and enabliug wage earners to demand payment from their employers in goliL Mr. Catchinffs does not think

the amendments will amount to much, as he believes the speaker will rule them out of order.

Fight Over .Judge Wood'* Nomination. Washington, March

17.—Tho senate

went into executive session at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon for the further consideration of judicial nominations. The speeches were nearly all delivered by the-same democratic senators who spoke. Tuesday in opposition to the confirmation of Judge Woods and by Senator Hoar. At 4 o'clock the senate adjourned, leaving the subject undetermined.

LEO'S APPROVAL.

A Letter from ltoux on tho Columbian Imposition. Chicago, March 17.—Pope Leo XIII. has given the world's fair his ponlilieal approval aud expresses fervent hope that it will succeed. Vice President Bryan, special commissioner for the exposition, was granted an audience with the popo while he was iu Uotno. During the audience his holiness expressed great ininterest in the world's fair. At the close of the interview he granted Mr. liryan permission to address a letter to him with the assurance that it would be answered in a letter giving everj* encouragement to the enterprise and thereby iusuring the earnest participation of the Catholic world. This letter wus given to tho Associated Press at Rome Wednesday and reads as follows: "To Hon. Thomas li. Bryan, tho Special United States Commissioner to Italy for the Chicago Columbian Kxjwsition Greeting: Whiles we see on all aides the preparations that are being eagerly made for the celebratiou of the Columbian quatro-centenary feasls in memory of a man most illustrious and deserving of Christianity and all cultured humanity, we hear with great pleasure that the United States has, among other uations. outered this competition of praise in such a mauuer as benefits the vaslncss and richness of the country aud the memory of the man so great as ho to whom these honors are being shown. Notb lug certainly could bo more spleudld than what Is told us of the grand and magni llccut exposition which the nation will hold at Chicago, brlr.jring together every kind of produce and work which fruitful nature bears and the artful industry -of man creates.

The success of this effort will surely be another proof of the great spirit aud active energy ol this people who undertake enormous aud dlffl cult tasks with such great and happy dealing We rejoice moreover in tho nobility of the pur pose, which is equal in greatness to tho undertaking itself. It is a testimony of honor ant) gratitude to that.initnortal man of whom we have spoken, who, desirous of Hndinga road by which the light and truth aud all the adornments of civil culture might be carried to the most dis tant parts of the world, could neither be deterred by daugers nor wearied by labors until, having in a certain manner renewed tho bonds be tween two parls of the human race so long separated, he bestowed upon both such great benellis that he in justice must be said tc have few equals aud no superior. While, therefore, we bestow ou the citizens of th€ great republic well-merited, praise, we express the ferveut hope that their noble undertaking may, 'other nations uniting with then: and lending their aid, have a most prosperout issue that will prove of great use in stimulating the ingenuity of man, iu promoting the devel opmentof nature and iu encouraging all the line arts."

Field, who was indicted for grand larceny and felony in connection with the S-'. 000,000 failure of the firm of Field, I.indley, Wiechers Co. Judge Van Brunt says in effect that while he is not convinced of the insanity of young Field, yet it is plain to him that Field is not now in a proper mental condition and should not be called upon to plead at the present time, but that by order of the court he should be con lined within an asylum under state supervision until it can be definitely determined as to whether any of the symptoms which lie claims now to exhibit actually exist o.' are feigned for the purpose of creating belief in his diseased slate of mind.

Their dissent was expressed orally, but since then their views have been reduced to words and will le placed with the opinion of the majority.
