Friends of Iron Ore Successful in tbe House.

VOTED TO PLACE IT OS THE FREE LIST.

A Tilt In the House Over the Introduction of the Income Tax Meanlira—Its Opponents Meet with Defeat.

INCOME TAXERS AHEAP.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The amendments to the iron schedules on Wednesday shared the same fate as those to the coal schedule Tuesday. They were overwhelmingly defeated and iron ore remains upon the free„ list. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in the discussion of amendments looking to the free admission of machinery used in the manufacture of cotton goods. Just before the house adjourned the advocates and opponents of the income tax, upon the democratic side, were arrayed against each other, the latter attempting to prevent Mr. McMillin from reading the in-ternal-revenue bill to the house. Therepublicans, however, joined hands with the income-taxers and defeated the small band of democrats who have pledged themselves to use every effort to prevent the internal revenue bill containing the income tax from being placed upon the Wilson bill as a rider. lorn Ore on the Free List.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—In the house at the morning session Mr. Taylor (rep., Tenn.) offered as an amendment to the pending amendment of Mr. Oates placing a duty of 40 cents a ton on ors, the provisions of the McKinley law, which makes the duty 75 cents per ton. Lost —yeas, 05 nays, 136. A vote was then taken on the Oates amendment, making the duty on iron ore 40 cents per ton, and it was defeated—yeas, 58 nays, 109.

Among the democrats who voted for the amendment were Messrs. Oates (Ala.), Beltzhoover (Pa.), Wheeler (Ala.), StaeliDgs (Miss.) and Robertson (La.). All the populists voted with the majority against the amendment and for free iron ore.

The iron schedule being thus disposed of Mr. Robbins (dem., Ala.) submitted an amendment to the paragraph which puts agricultural implements on the free list. The amendment adds to these articles enumerated "all articles for use in the manufacture of cotton, including machinery and equipment." Mr. Terry (dem., Ark.) offered an amendment to Mr. Robbins' amendment. admitting free of duty, besides finished machinery, "parts thereof and agricultural implements of all kinds." Much discussion followed but no action was taken.

Amending the Will on Bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.— A number of important amendments have been adopted by the ways and means committee to the customs and internal revenue sections of the tariff bill. Among thein are the following:

The tux on cigarettes, which had been placed at ll.W a thousand, was reduced toll. It Is now &o cents.

The sections admitting petroleum from other countries frco of duty when they admit American petroleum on the same terms was stricken out, leaving petroleum to como In free without any qualifications.

Crude opium was taken from the free list and put on the dutiable list at II a pound. To the paragraph relating to condensed milk, upon which the house recently placed a duty of two cents a pound, the committee added a clause that the duty should be computed by adding also the weight of the paokage.

Cut stones, including diamonds, are left at 10 ptfr.oent., as In tbe existing law. The pearl button schedule was made to read "one cent per line per gross."

The paragraph relating to the free importation of medals of gold, silver and copper was enlarged to include trophies of all sorts, such as prize cups for yatching gaces and the like.

The reoiproolty provision of the McKinley bill is stricken out of the bill, but the committee decided to make their action clearer by Inserting a special provision in the bill specifically repealing section 3 of the present, law.

An amendment will be probably adopted increasing the tax on manufactured cigars from 13 to 13.50 per 1,000.

Several amendments were also made to the Income tax soctlon. Section was amended NO that In computing Inoomes the necessary expenses actually incurred In carrying on any business, occupation, trade or profession may be deducted, and also all Interest aotually due and paid within the year by such person on existing indebtedness. The same section was further amended by striking out tbe provision permitting guardians to make a deduction of 11,000 In favor of each and every ward under their guardianship

Where reference Is made In seotlon S to the taxation of Incomes derived from the sale of live stook and farm products an amendment is mode exempting from the operation of the tax any part thereof consumed directly by the family.

LABOR MEN AROUSED.

Efforts to lie Made to Impeach Judge Jenkins. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—It is the alleged purpose of some labor organizations to impeach Judge Jenkins for his decision enjoining the employes of the North Pacific from striking. As the first move, soon after the tariff question is disposed of in the house, resolutions will by introduced by Mr. McGann, (dem., 111.) chairman of the committee on labor, directing that committee to make an investigation into the conduct of Judge Jenkins. The action after that will depend upon the developments during the investigation. If the committee discovers on investigation that the state of the case is as represented they will report articles of impeachment, to the house.

EXPERTS TRIPPED UP.

Coaghlln*. Medical W ltnesM* Make Pam»|ln( Admission*. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Again on Wednesday medical experts held sway at the Coughlin trial. The cause of the death of Dr. Cronin was the theme for the Jury's contemplation. Since its introduction Monday the defense has been devoted entirely to this one phase of the Cronin case. Judgo Marshall D. Ewell was recalled for cross-exami-nation when conveued. Many admissions opposed to statements of Drs. Todd and Kiernan were obtained by the state. Later in the day Dr. William L. Copeland was put on the stand. Ris testimony on crossexamination tended more to weaken than to strengthen the evidence adduced for the defense by its previous experts, Drs. Todd, Kiernan and EwelL In several important particulars he corroborated the statements and inclined to the theories of the state's experts. The turning point of the doctor's testimony was when he admitted that blows on the head would cause the brain to decompose more quickly than it otherwise would.

At the morning session of court James Minihan, a former employe of Patrick O'Sullivan, and who was once suspected of having driven the white horse, testified that he was around the Carlson cottage on the night of May 4, 1889, but did not see anybody about the premises nor see any lights in the dwelling, neither did he hear any noises. He had procured a lot of O'Sullivan's business cards prior to that time and had given them to many persons.

The purpose of the evidence, as introduced by the defense, was to contradict the statements of Mrs. Hoertel and Mertes as to the lights and noises in the cottage to show that the indiscriminate distribution of O'Sullivan's business cards made it possible for some person unknown to O'Sullivan to obtain possession of the card which was presented by the stranger who called for Dr. Cronin. On cross-examination the witness became much confused, but his testimony was not shaken materially.

FIVE YEARS FOR KOETT1NG

Cloae of the Trial of the Banker At Mllwaulkee, Wis* MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 25.—Banker Koetting, convicted of wrecking the South Side savings bank, was on Wednesday night sentenced to five years in state prison, In order that he may arrange Bome business affairs the prisoner will not be taken to the state prison before Wednesday next. Every seat and every foot of standing room in the courthouse was occupied. Most of the crowd were depositors of Koetting's bank. Koetting showed no signs of nervousness and Mr. Williams, counsel for the defense, presented a motion for a new trial which was denied. After listening to an appeal for mercy mode by Mr. Williams on behalf of his client, Judge Clementson sentenced Koetting to five years in state's prison.

Englishmen Buy Gold Mine. DENVER, Col., Jan. W.—A syndicate of English capitalists headed by the London house of Mountain Walton has purchased the Fisk gold mine near Black creek for 1500,000, The past twenty years the mine has produced from $30,000 to 9200,000 a year. The ore in sight on the day of the transfer was estimated at 25,000 tons, valued at 1200,000 after all expenses of mining and milling have been paid. The property was purchased three years ago by Haverhill (Mass.) men for $60,000.

Several Death...

BOltEAS BLOWS Ills ICY B1U.Alll. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Chicago is experiencing the coldest weather of the winter. The snow which had been falling steadily for twenty-four hours ceased at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and a high northwest wind drove away the clouds. At 10 o'clock Wednesday night the thermometer registered 2 degrees below sero. The wind had changed to the south and was blowing at the rate of 25 miles an hour. The weather observer predicted f»!r and warmer weather for to-day. The cold snap is particularly severe on the hundreds of destitute families in the city. Their sufferings, already great, have been increased, and the relief organizations are taxed still further to afire for them.

Extent of the Cold Wave.

The cold wave has been oovering the entire west for the last three days, increasing In energy all the time, and the area of high barometer has extended as far south as northern Texas, carrying the extreme cold much farther south than usual. At Galveston the temperature was at freezing at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. This is cold for a climate where the range of temperature is from 40 to 60 degrees above zera Wednesday the temperature ranged from zero In northern Texas to 88 degrees below zero in northern Minnesota and northern Nebraska In Iowa the average temperature was 20 degrees below zero.

At Springfield and St Louis it was 10 degrees below zero Wednesday morning, 14 degrees below at Kansas City, 20 degrees below at Des Moines, 88 degrees below at Valentine, Neb., and St. Vincent, Minn. A drop of 80 to 50 degrees may be expected from the Ohio valley to the east.

Victims of the Storm.

Reports from various points in the northwest show the following deaths from the severity of the weather: Albert Freeman, an inmate of the soldiers' home at Qulncy, 111., caught in the storm and found dead a half mile from the home entrance: Morlarity, a workman on the Great Northern railway, found dead at Benton, Mont., in a snow-drift Fred C.

Nufferliiff on the Strip.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Jan. 25.—The thermometer reached 11 below zero Wednesday morning. This is the coldest weather ever known here. Great suffering prevails among the new settlers, who were unprepared for such weather, and in tbe Cherokee strip loss of life is beyond question.

Man and Wife Perish.

EL RENO, I. T., Jan. 25.—Wednesday morning the thermometer marked 8 degrees below zero. Fifteen miles west of this city a man and hi* wife were frozen to death and it is rumored several other persons perished. The intense cold has cost much loss to stockmen.

Southern People Shiver.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 25.—There was a sudden fall in temperature here of fully 40 degrees. Fruit men are not pleased at the cold snap as it checks the swelling of the buds.

AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 25.—For the first time in a number of years the thermometer registered 16 degrees above zero here Wednesday morning, occasioned by a violent blizzard. Intelligence from the mountainous regions adjacent to Austin report an exceedingly bad state of affairs.

Snow a Boon to the l.uiiberin.ii. SAGINAW, Mich., Jan. 25.—The storm here will be a great boon to lumbermen. For three weeks logging operations have been at a standstill and horses and men in the numerous camps have been practically idle. Millions of feet of pine and hardwood logs and thousands of pieces of cedar have onlv waited the fall of snow to be hauled to their destination, and every one began work actively Wednesday. Logs of all kinds are selling at from SI to 11.50 a thousand feet less than was paid one year ago.

HOHROH NKAB BOONK. 1A.

BOONK, la., Jan. —The building on the Uoone county poor farm in which the incurably insane were confined was burned at 10 o'clock Tuesday night and eight of :he nine inmates were burned to death. Only one Wjjman, Mrs. Hibbard, escaped from the burning building and gave the alarm to the steward, Holcoinb, who was in the main building, adjacent. It was then too late to save the insane people and the main building was saved only by the greatest efforts. The steward says he banked the fire in the furnace about 9 o'clock and does not knowhow the fire originated unless from a defective flue. The dead are: Mary Tucker, John Annasniggs, Anna Soderburg, Christine Anderson, Christine Peterson, Mrs. Scott, Tom Leaser, Joseph Craig.

Couldn't gave Them.

Steward Holcomb was just preparing to retire when Mrs. Hibbard gave the alarm. Hastily donning his clothing he ran out into the lialhvav and caught a glimpse of the flames through the windows. On reaching the adjoining building, he found that the fire was streaming from every door and window, and that any effort to save the inmates would be fruitless. Several attendants tried to enter, but were forced back by the flames, and the steward and his men were compelled to stand by and see the building with its human inmates burned before their eyes. They could hear the shrieks of the insane patients, and once or twice a wild cry for help came from the depths of the burning building. Jn a moment or two the cries ceased, and within ten minutes the building was practically demolished.

Koasted Alive.

The building was a frame structure, and had no precautions against fire. The insane patients were confined in small rooms and locked in for safe, keeping, and it is thought the fire spread so rapidly that there was no chance to liberate them. They must have been literally roasted alive. Mrs. Hibbard, who escaped, was an attendant. She said she had no idea of how the fire started, but was suddenly surprised to see flames shooting through the floors, and she had barely time to get out of the house before the place was one mass of Are

Bodies Recovered.

After the fire had burned itself out, an effort, was made to recover the bodies, but it had to be abandoned. In the morning the work was resumed. Most of the bodies were recovered before noon, but they were so badly burned as to be unrecognizable.

Owing to the isolated situation of the poor farm, the buildiug burned before outside help could be secured. The only flre apparatus on the place was a small reel, but, owing to the terrific snowstorm and the extreme cold, even this meager protection against flre could not be used. The intense excitement in the adjoining buildings also hampered the officials at the farm in their efforts to fight the flames.
