jority of the finance committee, but bo regretted that he could not seo Iiih way clearly to it as to all these actions. Ho appreciated fully the arduous atid faitbful labors of the finance committee, and regretted to have heard insinuations that it had allowed lis action to bo influenced by threats, bargains or cajolery. The agricultural West, he said, never favored high protective duties, but it did favor a tiuflicient protection to cover the difference in wages, while at the same time the nemblance, at leat, of foreign markets vras preserved. The West regarded a "revision of the tann"" as meaning a reduction of the taritl, whenever possible, and not increase in the tariff imposts, and ho was confident that the demand for a lower range of duties would have to receive an early and favorable report from Congress. Many of those duties, he said, now believed to be too hicb. had, long ago, done the work which had lirst justified their imposition. So Ions as a high tariff was needed to keep the wheels of industry in motion, it bad been uncomplainingly supported and properly defended. But the sentiment was growing and the belief was becoming a fixed conviction in the West, at least as to some of the protected industries, that tho . decreased, cost of production should now be met by a greater decrease of duties than the manufacturers had yet been willing to accept. The people of the West were beginning to think that if many of the most protected of those industries were ever to learn to tand alone, their hands should be soon foicibly released from the skirts of high protection to which thev so persistently cling. He I Mr. Paddock would reduce the duties on the necessaries of life to the lowest point consistent with the maintenance of the home industries, and he would demand reasons for every inpost, reasons that should be specific and conclusive, not only respecting the need of a duty itself but as to the amount of such duty. The bill as reported, while much improved over the house bill, was, he admitted, something of a disappointment.. He did not assume to have fathomed its intricacies, and should not attempt a critical review of its provisions. Many reductions, doubtless, that had been' made by the finance committee were not acceptable to manu facturers: but ha was certain that all who" were favored most directly by the maintenance of high tariff duties would be bet ter satisfied with the bill in the lines laid down by the committee than any other class. In the consideration of the bill he had voted to lower duties whenever he believed it could be safely done, and he had, as a rule, voted against all increases, excepting only those on luxuries and those , a 1 rrt 1 ? a m

upon agricultural products, ino lies oi such increases on agricultural products vras a long and valuable one, and it was a pleasure to him to indorse especially so much of the , bill as related to that particular subject. II believed in free sugar; but he believed that it should be secured through some such plan of reciprocity as had been indicated by Mr. Blaine, and formulated by the finance committee. But whatever might be done in that respect, if a liberal bounty to homeproduced sugar were assured for fifteen years there would be no occasion whatever thereafter for the importation of a single, pound of sugar into the United States. He would treat the proposed tin-plate industry in the same way. He would not vote for the proposed increase of duty on tin-plates, but he would cheerfully vote for a bounty to the tin-plate industry, lie felt certain that it would be the part of wisdom and justice to adopt the bounty policy rather man to increase duties. ACTION ON VAKIOUS AMENDMENTS. After a loDg discussion, the committee amendment was agreed to yeas, 20; nays,' 13. Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the additional ad valorem rates in paragraph 873 from S3 per cent to 25 per cent. Rejectedyeas, 17; nays, 27. The next paragraph was read. It relates to woolen or worsted cloths, knit fabrics, etc. The finance committee reports an amendment increasing duty per pound from twice to three times the duty ner pound on unwashed wool, first class. The committee amendment was agreed to yeas, 2b; nays, 17. On motion of Mr. Carlisle, the word "shawls" was inserted afUr the words "woolen or worsted cloths," Mr. Aldrich consenting to it, although ho said it was entirely immaterial, as no . euch cheap shawls were imported. The next paragraph, 875, relates to blankets, hats of wool and llannels 'for underwear. The committee amendment to the paragraph makes the duty the same as on a pound and a half, instead of a pound of unwashed wool of the first-class, in addition to ad valorem rates. It was agreed to. Finally the woolschedulo was completed, and Mr. Vance offered as an additional section the amendment of which he had heretofore given notice, allowing reducxions oi uuty on goous purcnaseu witn tno proceeds of American farm products sold in foreign countries, and he said he would ask for au evening session to-morrow to enable him to address the Senate upon it. Schedule L, relating to silk and silk goods, was then taken np and the amendments to it reported by the finance committee were agreed to. Also an amendment offered by Mr. Aldrich striking out of paragraphs the words "spun silk," and adding to it the words "spun silk in skeins," or cops, or on beams, S3 per cent, ad valorem. Mr. Aldrich stated that the sugar schedule would be taken up to-morrow morning. DISABLED OCEAN LINERS. Steamers State of Alabama and California Put Into Forts with Broken Machinery. 8t. Johns, N.

TOE MEAT-INSPECTION LAW. Measure of Great Importance to Western Packers What It Provides For. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept. 1. The meat-inspection bill, which has just become a law, after being before Congress nearly the entire session, is of particular interest and importance to Western packers, a delegation of whom visited Washington to confer with the committees in charge of the measuro during its preliminary stages. The inspection is placed under the charge of the Secretary of Agriculture, and is confiued to salted pork and bacon. It is to be made only when the laws or regulations of the country to which it is to be exported require inspection in relation to the im. portatlon thereof, or when any buyer, seller or exporter of the meats shall request it Inspection is to bemade at the place where the meats are packed, or at the places of exportation, if the Secretary shall deem that a reinspection is necessary, or if there has been no inspection at the place of packing. One copy of the inspector's report shall be givtn to th3 shipper, one copy to the.invoice and one shall be filed with the Secretary of Agriculture. Attached to the meat-inspection feature of the bill are provisions forbidding the importation of adulterated foods, drugs or drinks, or live stock that hare been exposed to infection into the United States. The bill was originally drawn with a view to overcoming the objections urged by French and German authorities to the importation into those countries of the pork products of the United States by giving official assurance of the quality of the meat. The following retaliatory section was added by the committee on foreign relations, of the Senate, to be applied in case the restrictions against wholesome American pork- were not withdrawn by those governments: ''That whenever the President shall be satisfied that nnjuat discriminations are made by or under the authority of any foreign state against the importation to or sale in such foreign state of any product of the United States, he may direct that such products of such foreign state so discriminating against any product of the United States, as he may deem proper, shall be excluded from importation to the United States, and in sucn case he shall make proclamation of his direction in the premises, and therein namo the time when such direction against importation shall take ellect, and after such date tho importation of the articles named in such proclamation shall be unlawful. The President may at any time re voke, modify, terminate or renew any such uirecuon as, in ms opinion, tne -puunc interest may require." The : above section had the approval ot the constitutional lawyers on the commit tee, and is held to be a precedent for giving the President similar powers under the proposed reciprocity amendment to the tariff bill. As yet no appointments have been made by Secretary Rusk, but he will put me provisions oi ine ma into operation as rapidly as possible. THE RAU3I INVESTIGATION. Mr. Smyser Withdraws from the Committee Alter an Explanation In the House. Washington, Sept. 1. Mr. Cooper of Indiana, rising to a question of privilege, in the Hous6 to-day, stated that one of the charges mado in the resolution offered by him for the investiga tion of the Commissioner of Pensions was that the Commissioner was selling stock in a refrigerator company to employes of tho Pension Office. He had in vain attempted to obtain the names of the stockholders of the concern. To-day ho had learned, and this knowledge was borne out by the testimony, that one of the members of the investigation committee, Representative M. L. Smyser of Ohio, was one of the stock holders. Ho Mr. Cooper therefore offered a resolution discharging Mr. Smyser from the committee, and directing the Speaker to appoint his successor. Mr. Sawyer of New York said that the question which the committee was appointed to investigate was whether the Commissioner had promoted those employed under him for the reason that they became stockholders in the refrigerator company. There was no reason why the fact that Mr. Smyser was a stockholder affected his qualification to decide whether Mr. Kaum'a official conduct had been wrong. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio was surprised that any gentleman of honor and integrity should raise any question as to the propriety of the gentleman from Ohio immediately withdrawing from the committee. Mr. Smyser said he had no intimation that he was going to be appointed on the committee until announcement was made by the Speaker. As a member of the committee he had entered upon the discharge of his duty, and had done it faithfully and well. He did own some of the stock, but that fact in no manner could affect the integrity or honor of an honest man, and friends who knew him would never impute to him a want of honor or a want of integrity. While he did not understand why the f aet of his ownership of stock should affect his standing as a member of the committee, if his colleagues on the committee were of the opinion he was so affected, he would . yield willingly and resign his position. Mr. Morrill of Kansas, chairman of the committee, said that it was due to the Speaker and the members of the committee to say that the first intimation they had that one of the members had stock in the refrigerator company was when the books were produced. The conduct of the gentleman from Ohio had been perfectly honorable. He seemed to be desirous of arriving at the truth, and the whole truth. Ho did not doubt the gentleman's motives in the least, but he hoped now that, in order to relieve other members, he would promptly withdraw from the committee. Mr. Smyser felt that there was nothing in the charges against General Kaum affecting him, but in order to satisfy the other side of the House and country, and in duty to himself, he most respectfully asked to be relieved from further service on the committee. This request was granted. The Speaker stated that when he appointed the committee he had no knowledge of any relation between the gentleman from Ohio and the company referred to. The Chair had made the appointments from the committee on pensions because he thought it would facilitate the disposal of the matter to have gentlemen serving on tho committee who had some knowledge of the Pension Office. Short Session of the Committee. Washington, Sept. 1 Tho special House committee investigating the charges against Commissioner Kaum resumed its session to-day. Mr. Cooper opened tho proceedings by complaining that tho record had been doctored, and unwarranted corrections had been ma e by Commissioner Kaum, and that much matter had been stricken out. An instance, he said, was in the Commissioner's testimony relative to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette inter-, view, where the Commissioner had interpolated words to make his testimony conlorm to that given by General Boynton. The committee instructed the stenographer to see that the record was complete. Mr. Suo'ser, a member of the committee, was sworn at Mr. Cooper's request. He said that ho was a stockholder in the re frigerator company, representing himself and C. W. Kauke, and 1. C. Given, of Ohio, who had an arrangement with J. B. Taylor, and C. B. Hord. of Wooster. O. They held 20.200 shares, and had paid $10,000 for them. Witness's share of the stock had cost him 3.500. The subscription had been made last Anril. The proceedings in the House, resulting in the resignation ot Mr. Smyser. caused the ioa tponuneni of the investigation until

the vacancv is filled, and tho committee.

without attempting to proceed, adjourned subjectto call. ' RIVERS ANl HAIUIORS. Appropriation of 824,981,205 Agreed to Share Indiana and Illinois Will Get. Enecial to the Indianarolls Journal.

BUTTEItWORTirS OPTION BILL. Another Effort to be Made to Uring the Measure Refore the Houae. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept. 1. 4 paper is being quietly circulated by the House committee on agriculture with a view'to getting another hearing for. the stock-gawbjiug bill, as Mr. Butterworth's measure to prevent options and futures is called. The paper is a request to the committee on rules to report a rule for the consideration of the Butterworth bill within the next ten days. Two days for its consideration aro wanted and tho previous question is to be called after that time. About forty members have thus far signed the paper, and the chairman of the agricultural committee thought that be would have enough signatures by night to make a formidable showing toward giving tho bill a hearing. It was one of the measures to be heard when the agricultural committee recently had several days at their disposal, but the contest over the pure lard measure forced tho option bill out of place. t before it could be taken up the time fixed for' considering labor measures had arrived.

The Tribune's Washington special says: "It is reported here to-day that the Spanish mission, made vacant by the resignation of ex-Governor Palmer, of Michigan, had been o He red to ex-Senator T. C.

"It is true," he added, "that I have been ofierod the mission, and it is also true that I have declined the placo nearly two months - ago." Mr. Piatt then produced the letter from Mr. Blame, dated June 28, tendering to him the Spanish mission, and his responso of July 5, in which ho acknowledged the receipt of the favor, but says that his business engagements will not allow him to accept the responsibilities of office of any name or nature, however honorable or alluring. The Tribune, referring to this, says: "It will be observed that Mr. Piatt here declares what his friends have known for a long time, that he is uotacandidate for the United States Senate or any other office, notwithstanding all the emphatic assertions to the contrary."

' . i Ss RETURN OF HENRY GEORGE. Leader of the Single Tax Theorists Concludes His Trip Around the World. New York, Sept l.Henry George reached here early this morning by the steamship Servia. Delegates from the Single Tax Club met Mr. George at the pier and extended him a cordial welcome. In addition to the appointed delegates, a large number of single tax men marched in a body to meet their chief. Mr. Gcorgo looked better than at any time since the campaign of 18S6. Mrs. George, who ac companied him on his tour around the world, came down the gang plank of the steamer shortly after him. The pjrty went to tne Westminster rlall, where Mr. George talked to a few of his friends. He said that his trip was more successful than he had anticipated even in tho protection strongholds ot Australia. His most pronounceu views oi iree trane, he sain, were given an impartial hearing every where. "Single tax clubs," said he, "sprung np all along the line after my speeches. The is sue has already entered Australian politics. Sir Henry Parkes. Premier of New South Wales, is a convert of ours, and an earnest advocate of the single tax. He used his mlluenco to make my trip a successful one." Mr. Georgo laid some stress upon the statement that John Farrell, the single tax leader of Now South Wales, had been made editor-in-chief of one of the leading papers of Sydney. Mr. George has been gone seven months. He left New York in Febrnary and sailed from ban rrancisco lor Australia threo weeks later. The recoption in tho evening to Mr. Georgo was at Cooper Union. Thero were present 2,000 persons. Judge Magnire, of San Francisco, welcomed Mr. George, and verses of welcome by Frances Milne, of California, were read. In response, among other utterances, Mr. George said America was a great and biave land, but not free. Americans were searched, and their bag gage, too. when landing homo from abroad. Americans wero not free to build and s.ul shins: not free from the dominion of poli ticians: not free to buy and sell a peck of apples without license. The. speaker was not proud of this Republic, but he had hopes of it. Speaking of the dissatis faction existing between capital and labor. and the manner of curing it.' Mr. Georeo said: "Labor combinations won't do it; strikes, co-operation, the sharing of profits, the doling out of cold vituals won't do it. The only tniug that will do it is justice tho carrying into ellect of the gospel of free trade icheorsl to give to overy mau that which belongs to him, that which his own energv, skill and industry has made. What will give him this? Single tax. ' fCheers.l I have great hopes of America. Freedom is not here yet, but she is coming." Convention of Single-Tax Clubs. New Yokk, Sept 1.

Esplnosa, and Ilia Atrocities-How He Was Killed. Kansas City Star. At the time of tho acquisition ot New Mexico by the Gnadaloupe-Ilidalgo treaty iu 1$4 there lived on tho Conejos river a reputable Mexican named Kspinosa, who, by a wicked episode in his lifo, became a notorious bandit, upon whose head a price was fixed by the government, lie resided upon his ancestral hacienda in a sort of luxurious ease. He raised sheep and cattle, as did the other wealthy dons, i o called, of his class, nearly all of whom, however, are the decendauts of tho soldiers of Uortez's arm the rank and file who married the Aztec women of the couutry, and therefore are a mixture of Indian and bpanisn. They are very sensitive on the subject of blood, clauniug. falsely. '-to be descendants of tho noblemen of the famous army that conquered Mexico, by which Spain was made a lirst-rate power. Espinosa, iu 1848, made the acquaintance of an American adventurer who, with hundreds of others, emigrated from the States to seek their fortunes in the newlyacouired territory. The Mexican and the American became fast friends, the latter making his borne at the former's beautiful ranch in the mountains. There lived with her brother a dark-eyed, bewitchingly lovely voung girl, with whom the suscepti ble American"" fell deeply in love. His affectiou was reciprocated by the maiden to a degree that only the women of tho race from which she sprung are capable of. Ihe young American bad brought with him to the new country a large amount of gold and silver, and. soon making the Spaniard his confidant, told him of the wealth of which he was possessed. One night. after tne American bad gone to nea in a room adjoining that of his host, he was surprised to see a man standing over him, whoso hand had already grasped the buck skin bag under his pillow containing his gold and silver, lie sprang from his couch nnd tired at random in the dark at the would-be robber. Espinosa, for it was he. was wounded slightly, and, eitner enraged or frightened, stabbed with his keenpointed stilletto at tho young man whom he had invited to his house as his guest, the sharp blade entering his heart and killing him instantly. The report of the pistol shot awakened the other members of the household, who came into the room just as the American wan breathing his last. Among them was the sister of Lspinosa. 1 hrowmg herself on the American's dead body she poured forth bitter enrseson her brother. Espiuosa sawatonce the terrible position in which ho stood, aud then determined to become an outlaw, in fact, as he could think of no excuse or palliation for his dreadful act. He thereupon hid himself in the mountains, carrying witn him, however, tho sack containing the American's money. Some years passed before he could gather together a sutiicient number of outlaws to enable him to defy tho authorities, but when ho had succeeded iu mustering them. for a long while he was the terror of the whole region of New Mexico. He mado his headquarters in the almost impenetrable fastness of the Sangro de Christo mount ains, from which point he made his raids. and there was nothing that was too bloody for him to shrink from. He robbed, indiderently, the overland stage-coaches. tho freight caravans, or the ranches of the wealthy Mexicaus. He stole horses, cattle and anvthinir that he could utilize. If murder was necessary to complete his work, he never for a moment hesitated. Kidnaping was a favorite pastiuie. but he never carried off any other than the most beautiful of tho young Mexican girls. He kept them iu his mountain den for ransom or for a terrible fate. In 1664 tho bandit, after nearly ten years of unbridled outlawry, was killed by Tom lobin. who followed him to a temporary' camp in the mountains, which he discovered iu a grove of cottonwoods by tho smoke that curled above the trees. He had been "trailing" him for 6omo days and knew that he had but one companion with him. To rapturo the two men alive never entered tho cautious brain of Tobin; to get them dead was much safer and easier. Tobin crept up to tho grove, nnd. lying behind a friendly log, waited until tho notorious chief stood up, then ho pulled tho trigger and Espiuosa fell dead! A second shot quickly disposed of his companion, and Tobin had accomplished Ins mission! To bo ablo to claim the reward, he had to prove beyond the possibility of a doubt that those whom he bad killed were tho dreaded baud it and one of his followers. Tobm thought it best to cut off their heads, which ho deliberately did. and, packing theia on his mule in a sack, he took them to old Fort Massachusettsafterwards Fort Garland. The two ghastly heads were speedily recognized, ut whether he ever received the reward is a matter of doubt. ? The President's Family. Washington 8ieolal. A piember of the Presidents family, who is in the city for a few days, says that Mrs. Harrison has very much enjoyed her sum mer experience at Cape May Point. The passing Hurry of Democratic journalistic indelicacy and characteristic brutality in invading the home sancity of households atlorded no serious abatement of the enjoyments of the place, although it was not pleasant to think that any American newspapers could find satisfaction in that fort of journalism. The heated term has passed pleasantly by the seaside. Cresson. with its superior advantages of air, conven iences, comfort and accessibility, will tow atlord the President aud Mrs. Harrison and the interesting personnel of their domestic circle a delightful autumn of mountain weather and 'scenery with which to cloe the outing season, and will bring them back to the official andfpolitc responsibilities of the months of executive duty and ceremonial gayeties freshened in health and activity. Tho summer at the Point has been passed by Mrs. Harrison in restful seclusion. She has appoared but littlo in the Juiet festivities of the seaside, and thereore is enjoying exceptionally good health. Mrs. Mary Carroll, a middle-aged woman, was struck by an incoming Pennsylvania railroad train at Cincinnati last night, and was instantly killed.

A Horse and Bngrgy Found Withont an Owner, and Traces of Crime on a Bloody Knife. The police made afdiscovery at midnight, last night, which may lead to the uncovering of a murder. AtC o'clock in tho even ing the officers about the Union Station noticed a horse and buggy standing idle on McNabb street, but they paid no attention tx it At midnight it was still therat ar.rl tbeir suspicions were aroused. An examination ui the buggy showed that the lar-rile- had beer, torn in several places, 2'1 was covered with blotches of fresh biood. The foot-mat, euibroideml with tho initials A. A. L." was also spotted with blood. The appearance of the interior of the vehicle seemed to indicato that a bloody struggle had taken place. On tho iloor of the buggy was a common-sized jack-kntle, the open blade of which was also covered with blood, and two notes. One contained information of some details connected with a church festival, addressed to Miss Emma Grose. The other piece of paper simply contained the address of J. X. Binford, of this city, who died some months ajro. The horse had been driven hard and was covered with perspiration. Later on a woman's 6hawl was discovered in tho buggy, which was also bloody. It was taken to Merrick's stable, on outh streot, and there it was identified aa the Froperty of Mrs. A. A. Lovejoy, of West ndianapolis. The police are at a loss as to a theory of the bloody appearance of tho robes aud mat. but will end' avor to traoe the matter to-day. Claulcal Mulc Defined. Boiton Globe.
