R-Tlrw of Intoriiatiomil Tritile KrlittInn.. Orrnmny'. I»l»crlinlnaHon .Vcnln.t Our I'ru.lucl. N.>t on Account of Sanitary Conditloni—Senate Still TallOni; on tinHawaiian Kraolutlnn Capital N’rws. Washington, Jau. 23. — Chairman ■Wilson of the ways and means committee yesterday reported to the house a bill to abrogate the discriminating duty of 1-10 of a cent p r pound on sugar imported from countries paying a bounty on exports. The report accompanying the bill expresses the opinion that it tloes not believe it was the intention or desire of congress in the last tariff act, in imposing the additional duty on all sugars coming from countries paying a bounty on exports thereof, to give the ground of complaint to foreign nations of any violation on our part of long standing treaty obligations, and least of all to abrogate such treaties. Both Germany and Austria, however, have protested against the discriminating duty, holding it to be violative of the most favored nation clauses which for more than (>0 years have governed their trade relations with the United States, and Germany—the committee is not accurately informed as to AustriaHungary—is now making and enforcing trade relations which will prohibit or impede the entrance of American meats into her markets. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which consumes the hulk of our exported provisions, raise no sanitary objection to them, and it is almost, certain, says the report, that this unfriendly action of Germany is really a retaliation for our discrimination against German beet sugar. The committee believes that if the irritation caused by the alleged violation of our traditional treaty obligations to Germany, or more strictly to Prussia, is relieved, it will at once open the way for the removal of discriminations and prohibitions against the entry of our beef and hog products into Germany. Furthermore, the example of Germany is having its infiuenoe with other nations with whom we have a large and profitable trade, and Swollen, Denmark and Belgium have prohibited the introduction of American cattle and dressed

beef.

This additional duty on foreign sugars, concludes th-> report, is not needed. The amount of revenue it might produce is insignificant and should not for a moment be considered in comparison with the threatened and resulting loss or lessening of foreign markets for our raisers of cattle and hogs, while no amount of revenue would compensate for any merited stigma of faithlessness ou our part to treaty obligations.

IN CONGRESS. Hjiwsiiian OiifAtinn Still Filial.Tin*' the Attention of the Senate. Washington, Jan. 23.—The policy of the administration as to Hawaii was again the subject of sharp attack and defence in the senate yesterday. The personal element in the controversy drew large crowds to the galleries which at times overflowed into the outer corridors. It indicated little diminution of public interest in Hawaii now that the course of the administration is the main question of discussion. i Mr. Gray and Mr. George justified the administration and Mr. Gray dwelt upon tiie porMsfeuey and iudlctiveuoss which the president was villified and misrepresented. Mr. Lodge and Mr Hawley made the critical speeches of

the day.

The debate was still in progress when • no meaning hour expired and u:j Nicaragua canal bill was taken up. Mr Turpie spoke against the measure for three heuni ui:d had not wuciudcd when

The general public in this part of the country, however, knows to the contrary. There were too many eye-witnesses who saw men drown all around them. Captain Couian also states that there were only nine passengers on board when the

boat went down.

W. D. Crockett, a farmer living two miles below this city, yesterday found the cabin register of the wrecked State of Missouri, and reference to it showed that there were 15 cabin and two deek passengers. It is not possible to discover who are lost as the rescued are scattered everywhere. Mr. Leathers of Hopkinsville, Ky., was a rescued passenger, hut his name does not show on the register. How many more not registered will never be known. The cash drawer was found with $104 in silver and parts of torn bills wore scattered about the wreck.

LYNCHERS ARRESTED. Mt. Sterling, Ky., Wild With Excitement

Over the AflTilr.

Mount Sterling, Ky., Jan. 23. — Mount Sterling was wild with excitement last night. Two of ThoniasBlair’s lynchers have been arrested and are in jail, and other arrests are momentarily expected to follow. Yesterday afternoon Detectiue George W. Drake arrested James Roach and Dick Foreman and lodged them both in iail. It caused great excitement and large crowds of men are standing on every corner waiting to see who will be the next person arrested. The two men have been placed in cells so far apart that they cannot talk to each other and the jail doors are barred to all newspaper men. Detective Drake has several assistants with him and says he is confident he has the right men. Trouble is expected.

Decatur, ills., Jan. 22.—The grand jury has brought in an indictment for murder agniust George E. Tucker, the sou of a widow, who, while at a dance two weeks ago, shot and killed Louis Wilson. Both young men were rivals for the favor of Miss Clara Mothlau of Springfield. Without apparent provocation Tucker, at a distance of two feet, sent a bullet into the brain of Wilson and then rnu, leaving the young lady to go home alone. Just 10 days before the tragedy Wilson took out a life insurance policy for $'>00. The money has been paid. Tucker will plead self-defense.

bills wore killed before they ever had an opportunity to have their merits aired in public. The work of neither body was productive of anything sensational. The senate’s time was largely occupied in discussing the subject of concealed weapons, while the house indulged in little sparring matches over the flag question, the soldiers’ home bill and the question of insurance rates, none of which served any purpose in determining anything further than to show the drift of sentiment ou these matters.

What influenced the strikers’manager to call the linemen strike off thus quickly and then to order on again today cannot now be told. The reason assigned for the latter act is palpably but a pretext. The effect of this move, which the strikers have compared to the playing of a high trump card, remains to be

demonstrated.

the gravest apprehensions.

Mhii.v Wire* Cut.

The audacity of the wire cutters in the early part of the day was remarkable. Trolley lines were cut in all directions, under the very noses of thepolice and military, and yet there were not enough arrests to mention. One line suffered the loss of five miles of wire, which was carried away by those who cut it, in spite of the aiinonncemont that soldiers and policemen had orders to “shoot to kill” whenever they were assailed with stones or other missiles, it does not appear that in any other of the many instances when muskets were discharged, except at the Halsey street affray, anyone is known to have been hurt. Fresh reports of extensive wire cutting were current at a

Sparrim; Ov«r tlie KI«b Question.

The committee on military affairs reI jMirted against the Van Arsdel bill requiring the hoisting of a Hag over all schoolhouseti of the state. There was a warm discussion ou the subject and a gissl deal of effervescent patriotism was worked off, but the committee report was finally concurred in and flags are not required. The bill to establish a soldiers’ home at Lafayette and appropriate #100,000 for the purpose was reported favorably, and a motion to rerefer it to the committee ou ways and means produced another long discussion, but the motion to so refer finally carried. A number of other committees reported uinm minor bills, killing most of them, and the house invaribly concurred in the nqiorts. The routine of the house’s work was varied a little by the introduction of Mr. Statesman’s resolution condemning in every phase Mr. Cleveland’s jKiliey in reference to Hawaii. Mr. Statesman made a crisp speech on the subject, in which he severely condemned the president’s policy, and was followed in the same line by Mr. Pettit. The house, however, showed no disposition to indulge in a purely politic.il discussion and the resolution was adopted by n party vote without further debate. Among the new bills introduced was one by Mr. Newhouse to change the time of the numeration for apportionment purposes, and one by Mr. Cardwill to prohibit the drawing of warrants by public officials when there is no money in the treasury to pay them.

Iiitmr<ftiic»* Ou»**tion Discu**ecl.

The first real tight that has come up in the house occurred on the insurance ! question, and on the face of the returns ; the insurance people rather got th« best I oi it. TL-- jiuii' ia-y couitnittee had reported favorably upon the bill ot Mr. Moore, intended to break up the iusur- ! ance mmreujU by which ■mi form rate®, I are established in various citie.x and tc 1 | oompel the payment of the full face of 1 the policy in case of total loss. Mr. Willoughby moved that the bill be recommitted to the insurance committee and Mr. Moore protested on the ground that the purpose of the insurance committee was to strangle the bill. Others took a hand in the discussion and it raged rather fiercely for half an hour, resulting in sending the bill to the insurance committee by a heavy majority. The senate did practically nothing except to talk about the carrying of conceMed weapons and the proposed appointment of a humane inspector in each county. The latter subject was finally referred to a special committee of five. As to the concealed weapons tlie minority report uikhi a bill imposing #.500 tine and six months in jail for carrying them was adopted after a long debate. The minority report favored

the bill.

Senator Ellison introduced a resolution asking for a special committee to look into the question of last year’s strikes and riots and report such legislation as might be necessary to prevent a recurrence of the disturbances. It was

referred.

Senator Boon! introduced a bill aimed at the Roby racetrack. It provides a fine of from #50 to #.500 for each oftieei j of the track allowing a horserace to occur during the winter months between Oct. 15 and April 15 Senator Collett introduced a bill ap- | propriating #205,000 for the maintenance I of the Logansport insane asylum for two years and $25,000 for iniDroveuionts.
