ufactures of lead. The other amendments Joined were lost 43 to 107. Mr. Wilson here made the point of no quorum, but withdrew it. and the amendment relating to the manufactures of lead was put and lost Z to 73. Th amendments to the zinc tchedule were lost without divisionMr. Wilson then offered an amendment to increase the duty on morphine and all talts thereof from i) to 7j cents per ounce. WILSON'S STATEMENT DENIED. Mr. Alderson, a West Virginia Democrat, chaJIcngiU the statement of his colleague, Mr. Wilson, chairman of the ways and tneana committee, made during consideration cf the coal schedule, that the Canadian iaxift law provided that Canada 'shall remove th3 duty levied on our coal whenever Canadian coal was admitted free in the United States, lie wanted . to offer an amendment making free coal reciprocal, but cou.d not secure recognition for that purpose. The morphine amendment was agreed to, as were several other amendments. Mr. Wilson thea brought forward a series of amendment comprehending the entire metal chedule. Mr. Johnson said he desired to offer three separate propositions as amendments to the ' Tnpose'1 reduction of the duty on steel alia from 15 pf-r cent, to 2D per cent., so at the committee could vote to reduce the duty tlll further to 15 per cent. If it delrod. Mr. Hopkins denounced emphatically the attempt to still further reduce the duties In the metal schedule. Mr. Uynum. one of the Democratic membra of the ways and means committee, said laat while he favored generally the pro. Posed reductions in the bill a.s far as the ? resent amnedmcnts were concerned, he eared. th;U som? of them woull reduce the chedule below the revenue point. This was especially the case with the proposed reduction on steel rails, which, in his opinion, would give the foreign manufacturers an undue advantage. Mr. Dalzell called attention to the fact that within two hours of the close of consideration of the customs schedules of the tariff bill, the committee brought in this proposition to radically cut the already ruinously low duties of the metal schedule. The duty In the Wilson bill of 12 V& per cent, on pl Iron would close every furnace East Of the Alleghenies ami in the State of Alabama. Yet. at this late hour, it was proposed to lower It to 20 per cent. Mr. Simpson offered an amendment to transfer fence wire from the dutiable to the tree list. Mr. Caldwell, In opposing the bill on general ground, presented a petition about a hundred feet long, signed by 30.0 a) laborers. Of Cincinnati, protesting against its passage. Mr. Wangt?r contended that 20 per cent, duty on pig iron would not compensate for the difference in wages paid here and abroad. Mr. Hepburn called attention to the provision In the bill permitting returning Americans to bring in from abroad" $250 worth of clothes free of duty. This exempoq. u.oii 9qi jo Jjwjojui m sbm uojj were able to pay the duty. Over $3,000,000 of revenue would be lost by this provision. Mr. Robertson sent to the clerk 8 desk and had rend an amendment to place cotton bagging on the free list. Fcr two weeks, he .said, he had been trying to Eet recognition to offer that amendment, ut he was to bo shut out- Toe. duty of 15 per cent, in the bill on cotton bagging was a violation of the pledge of the Democratic party, a retreat from the position taken in the last Ctyngre-ss, wljen a bill for freo cotton bagging was passed. Mr. Washing' offered an amendment to make the duty on pig iron $3 per ton. Mr. Terry offered an amendment to Mr. Simpson's amfn-lmjnt to have free fence wire go into elect on the postage of the bill. Mr. Dalzell demand ed a separate vote on the amendment to reduce the duty on pig Iron from 22 v. to 20 per cent, ad valorem, and the amendment to that amendment. VOTES ON AMENDMENTS. Mr. Washington's amendment to make the duty $3 per ton was lost without division. The committee amendment given above was adopted 123 to 03. The amendments to paragraphs 100, 110, lit, 112. 113 and 114 were agreed to without objection. The vote then came up on the three amendments of Mr. Johnson, to reduce the duty on steel rails. The first proposition was to reduce it to S per cent. Tne Republicans refused to vote. It wa3 defeated 28 to 123. The other two to make the duty 10 per cent, and 15 per cent., respectively shared the . same fate, the first, b'j to l'Jo; the second, 40 to 142. The vote then recurred on the committee's proposition to reduce the duty from 25 to 20 per cent., which was adopted The amendments of . Messrs. Terry and Simpson, to transfer wire rods (paragraph 121) from the dutiable to the free ll3t, were lost 33 to 121. The committee amendment to paragraph 122 was carried 116 to 72. The .other amendments of tne committee were

Mr. Wilson then brought forward two amendments designed to reopen the question of when the free wool provision should go into effect. An amendment was adopted, making free wool go into effect immediately upon the passage of the bill. His amendment proposed to make free wool go into effect Aug. 2 and the woolen goods schedule Dec. 1. Mr. Illand made the point of order that this was in the nature of a motion to reconsider a question settled by the committee, but the Chair overruled this point. Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, called attention to the fact that this was a proposition to undo what had been done a few days ago. When the vote was taken the Republicans voted in favor of the committee amendment and it whs adopted 122 to 57. Mr. Johnson could not rally enough followers to secure tellers. The other amendment was also adopted.A half dozen men were clamoring for recognition, but Mr. Wilson was again recognized. He offered an amendment to Increase the duty on barley from 20 to 25 per cent, and on barley malt from 30 to 35 per cent. Mr. Tracey. a New York Democrat, moved to increase the duty to 40 per cent, and Mr. Payne proposed as a substitute 20 cents per bushel on barley and 30 cents on barley malt. This was a remarkable proposition, declared Mr. Lockwood, for the ways and means committee to bring in during the last half hour of this debate. For two weeks the committee on ways and means fcad resisted all attempts to put iron, or coal, or lumber on the dutiable list. They bad supported reductions on almost every schedule, yet, in the last half hour, they proposed to advance the tariff on barley to a. prohibitive point- He denounced it as unfair and unjust. Mr. Tayne said that he congratulated the vays and means committee, which had teen listening to the brewers and malsters, that it had at last heard the voice of the farmers. The last few minutes were consumed In "tfte most part by members who desired to B'r their grievances. Mr. Wheeler took occasion to call attention to the fact that he had had no opportunity to present his cotton bagging amendment and Mr. Herman to the fact that his amendment relating to hops had been shut out. At 5:20 Mr. Wilson moved to close the fiebate on the preceding amendments. The vote resulted 125 to 20. Mr. Warner promptly made the point of no quorum. The Chair ordered tellers, and the Democratic members rushed forward and passed single tile through the tellers in the nope that a quotum could be secured before the time arrived for recess. The Republicans remained quietly In their seats. The minutes ticked by, but the Democrats could not muster their quorum, and, in the midst of a general wrangle a to whether the amendments pending would be considered pending In the House, and the attempt of various rietnbers to offer amendments, the hour of 30 arrived and the gavel fell. The committee rose, pursuant to the rule, and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. At the nisht session the speakers' were Messrs. Tlolman, Smith, Cooper of Indiana, and Pcar3on"VILI 11 IS CO SIB LAW. Ilofh House and Senate Will Pass the Tariff IU11. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The official stenographers in the House are being rapIdly worn out by the heavy strain on them Incident to the tariff debate. There is a superstition among them that on every revision of the tariff some one of their number (Ave) must die from overwork. They all look as though they might peg out any time There is a great deal of talk about the Wilson tariff bill being recommitted to the ways and means committee and about its final failing In the Senate. Your correspondent has spent the greater part of three days in gleaning private information from Democrats in the House and Republicans in the Senate as to the outlook for ' the bill, and he confidently believes that there is not more than one chance in ten that the Wilson tariff bill, with its income tax rider, will fail to become a li'v Roth are about as certain to be finally adopted and in almost exactly their present form as that firowr Cleveland and the Democratic party live. The talk of defeat seems to be bom principally of wish and not Democratic courage Jo vote against the bill. POLICY OP IlKPl'ULICAXS. They Will Vote to Kill the Ennctlng ClauKC of the IJ1II. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The Republican policy of opposition to the Wilson bill when the vote is reached has been fully determined upon. It is not the result of caucus or formal agreement, but is the outcome of eoclerencea among the Republican leaders

during the last few days. Representative Hopkins, a Republican member of the ways and m-an3 committee, outlined what the plan of procedure would be. The motion to recommit the bill, which has been relied on by discontented Democratic elements, will not receive Republican support, and must, therefore, fail, as the di:contented Democrats ara not sufficiently numerous to carry their point without Republican support. The Republican leaders take the position that there is nothing to be pained by recommitting this particular bill, a3 they think it might as well go to the Senate in its present form as In any other. The Republicans will center their opposition on a motion to strike out the enacting clause of the bill. This differs from the motion to recommit, in that it seeks to kill outright. Instead of fending it to committee for repairs. The Republicans feel that this effect to kill the entire bill will permit them to make a consistent record of direct opposition to the measure. This will be followed by a negative vote on the passage of the bill. The leaders regard this as much more desirable policy than trading with discontented Democratic factions to help the latter on one item or another. The policy as thus determined Is almost certain to result in the passage of the Wilson bill. Indeed, the Republican leader? are to permit the Democratic majority to pass their bill and thus assume its responsibilities. The motion to recommit is no longer likely to prove formidable as it will have few If any Republican votes. On the other hand the motion to strike out the enacting clause can hardly prevail as it Is not believed that sufficient discontented Democrats will be found to vote to kill the Wilson bill outright. The largest estimate mads of discontented Democrats who will join with the Republicans on the motion to kill the. bill by striking out the enacting clause is thirtyflv?, and this, with the full Republican vote of 126, Is considerably short of a majority. THE I CO M K TAX.

There AVI II He Xn Committee Reports on the Scheme. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27,-There are to be no reports on the income tax question. When the Internal revenue bill was first reported from the ways and means committee two minority reports were expected, one from Representatives Cockran and Stevens, representing the minority of the Democrats, and the other from the Republican members of the committee. Rut the action of the Democratic caucus making the Income tax an amendment to the Wilson bill has changed the original plan3. Mr. Cockran says that the placing of the measure as an amendment obviates the necessity for a report. Mr. Burrows says that the Republicans do not care to make a report. Representative McMlllln. in charge of the income tax bill, said as to the report, that the Income tax may defeat the tariff bill: "I would be the last man to Jeopardize the tariff bill by an Income tax or anything else, but I am absolutely positive that the bill as a whole tariff and income t ix will pass. Reports to the contrary are wholly misleading. The entire bill can no more b? defeated than the Potomac river can be made to run up stream. The opposition could no mere stop the passage of both measures than they could stop the flow of Niagara Falls. The passage of the consolidated bills is assured beyond the shadow of a doubt." FULL OF BUCKSHOT. Murderous Texan Laid Out by a Michigan Constable. GRAND HAVDN. Mich., Jan. 27. News reached this city late this evening that a man named Hawkins, in. the village of Robinson, ten mile3 from here, had shot his wife, fatally wounding her. A constable and two citizens went to arrest Hawkins, and as they approached the house he openea fire on them with a shotgun, but hi3 shot failed in taking effect. The constable returned the fire, filling Hawkins with buckshot, and it Is expected he will die. Not much is known of Hawkins in this city, except that he came from Texa3 last summer and bought the farm where the tragedy occurred. Jealousy was the cause, as Hawkins, when In this city a day or so ns:o, remarked that he was suspicious that a mill carrier was going to his house to visit his wife while he was away, and he reamed very much wrought up by the discovery. ' MISS WOOLSO.YS DEATH. It Wa3 Due to an Accident, Not Suicide, as Reported. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. The statements that Miss Constance Fenimore Wcolscm's death at Venice last Wednesday night war, due to suicide were unwarranted. Her nephew, Mr. Samuel Mather, of Cleveland, on receipt of the news, cabled for particulars, and received a reply frcn Miss Woolson's nelce, Mls3 Grace Carter, In substance as follows: "Aunt Con.vtan.oe had severe influenza (grip), which had resulted as It often doe3 in high fever. Th night nurse left for a moment for something which was needed. Duiing her short absence, in a tudden excess of delirium, she arose from her bed and w.ills apparently wandering1 about the room fe'.l through the open window to the street below. She was picked up immediately and live! a short time. She haxl no apparent pain, and her face looked very peaceful." VICTIMS OF A NORTHWESTER. Thousands of Cnttle Killed by a Cold Storm In Texn. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 27.

Indianapolis-St. Louis Railroads in Danger of Boycott. Unless Tliey Stop Cnttiiiff California Rates Western Lines Will Cease All Business Relations. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Further investigations of the passenger rate situation at Indianapolis have led to the discovery that California rates there are very much more demoralize! than was reported a day or two ago. Fresh notices were served on the In-dianapolis-St. Louis lines by the Western roads to-day that they would not be parties to any rate cutting, but would insist on receiving full proportions on all divisions of rates. They further Intimated once more that unless rate cutting ceased tickets sold by the Indianapolis roads would not be honored on the Western ones, but that all business relations with the Indianapolis roads would be discontinued. The Transcontinental Row. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Matters got very much mixed up to-day in the transcontinental rate situation. In the first place, the Union Pacific created consternation by sending out notice that It could not be a party to the agreement arrived at among the transcontinental lines. Its refusal threatens to render all the work of the conferences that have been held since the beginning of the year of no avail. Nobody here can see how the agreement reached can be carried out without the Union Pacific The reason for its action is still a mystery, but it is believed that it has decided to act with the Western Passenger Association lines rather than with the transcontinental ones in a settlement of the situation. Matters were not improved hi the least when, following close on the heels of the Union Pacific notice, came advices from the other transcontinental roads that they could not in any way modify the proposition they had originally made the Western roads for a settlement of existing differences. Theydld this knowing that their proposition was not at all likely to be accepted by the Western roads, and that a number of them had stated their determination never to agree to it. The whole question to-day seems more unsettled than before ths conferences began, and a return to open war seems inevitable. After the advices of the transcontinental roads was received, a call was sent out this evening for a special meeting of the Western Passenger Association, to be held here next Thursday to consider the situation and see what could bo done to prevent further demoralization. Scalpers' Boycott Broken. CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 27. A leading broker announces, to-night, that the boycott against the Pennsylvania road on Chicago business has been broken. Railroad men confirm this and say a rate war was averted by the manner in which the Pennsylvania people handled the tight. 0.E DOLLAR A "WORD. Famous Men Who Can Ensily Obtain This Amount for Their Writings. New York Advertiser. There are a number of men who have no reputation as writers who would be able to command almost any time higher rates for magazine or newspaper articles than almost any of those literateurs who have gainsd fame by reason of their writings. Mr. James It. Keene, who is well known as one of the most successful and picturesque ot those men who deal in Wall street in New York city, has been many times asked to write over his own signature upon any topic which he chose and name his own price, which would cheerfully be paid. As Mr. Keene has sometimes found his fortune appreciate as much as $100,000 In a single day it Is easy to se that if he charged for such service in proportion to his earning capacity he would receive an almost fabulous sum for an article from 2,000 to 5,000 words in ength. The only occasion since those early days of his poverty, when he made his living as a newspaper writer, that Mr. Keene overcame hi3 disinclination to write was in the summer of 1S77, Just after he had held at baj' an army of Wall-street speculators, having sustained the market single-handed for an entire day, backed by gold which his California friends sent to him, and thereby unquestionably prevented such a panic as the country has not seen, excepting possibly in 1857 and 1S73. The strain upon his nervous system of thus maintaining the market against the combined assault of frightened .nvestors and speculators was so great that a few days after Mr. Keene was stricken with an illness which threatened to develop into paralysis of the brain. He was removed to Ixmg Rranch as soon as it was possible to lift him from his bed, and there, after some difficulty, and through the offices of the late Sam Ward, Mr. Keene consented to dictate an Interview for publication. Mr. Ward labored with him for more than two hours before the great operator consented. , A A , , At that time Mr. Ward was entertaining his nephew, F. Marion Crawford, and had been so highly pleased with a story which Mr. Crawford told him of an experience in India that he advised the young man to write it out and that he would see that it found a publisher, and thus it was that the story which made Marion Crawford famous, "Mr. Isaacs," came to be written and printed and Crawford's career determined. Mr. Keene was greatly interested In Mr. Ward'3 narration to him of this tale, which had not been printed, and he told Mr. Ward some of the early California experiences of hi3 which seemed quite as marvelous as did the story of Mr. Isaacs, and It was then that Mr. Ward said to him: Mr. Keene. if you were not a great speculator you might become a great novelist." Mr. Keene nnaiiy received the representative of one of the New York newspapers. He lay upon his bed, which was in a quiet room of one of the Long Branch hote:s. The room was very simply furnished and it seemed Impossible to believe that the man who lay there content apparently with the almost humble surrounding of this 10x11 room was able. If he chose, to buy the hotel and a good deal of the adjacent property without materially, affecting his pocketbook. He began slov.iv to dictate. It seemed as though he weighed every word. He frequently changed a wonl in order to put In its place anotner which would more clearly express his meaning. When a sentence or a paragraph had been written down. Mr. Keene would ask to have it read over, and when this was done he repeated It several times, his patience and care being quite as great as characterized Rushin or Kuss2ll Lowed when they were engaged in prose composition. . , . Thus for five hours this great financier lay thre composing and dictating this article The mental strain was exhaustive unn Mr. Ward, who was present, and upon the newspaper reporter. Once during the interview a telegram was brought to Mr. Keene from the hotel otlice. He opened It, read It and tossed It upon the table with no more concern than though it had announced a most trivial matter to him. This article appeared the following day in print It was the sensational publication of the' month. It was repulished either in whole or in part in a great number of newspapers. It commanded attention not. only from financiers, to whom every word uttered by Mr. Keene then and since upon financial matters wa3 received with absorbing interest, but it also made a deep impression upon literary men on account of the singular purity of its English and the lucidity and felicity of its style. The editor of the paper In which the article appeared would gladly have sent Mr. Keene a check for $2,500 for It, but the LTeat financier (lid not and would not write for pay. He earned a fortune while he was dictating that article, for the telegram which ho received announced that a sudden appreciation that day in a line of stocks held by Mr. Keene was so great that if he chose to sell his profits would be SlM.OOO. Ex-peaker Reed has only recently been tempted to write, and for his writings he ha3 received a price quite as large as the sum once paid Mr. Gladstone, by an American publisher for a magazine article. Gov. McKinley was offered $1,000 for a one-thou-sand-word article; Governor Russell, of Massachusetts, a sum almost as large, but for a little longer article. Secretary Carlisle, If ho could find time to write, could materially Increase his income by so doing, and there i3 not one of the more prominent po":itlel"ns and financiers who rould not more than match the earnings of some of th irr.itPKt of the literateurs. trovidjd omy tnty were willing to accept ofiers I which have heen made to them. It Is notieeu, However, tr.ai me urr.icmy or repi?snance which uw-d to prevail amoii- men of affairs about writing for the public prints is very rapidly passing away. IN CIIIXRSIJ 1'RISOXS.

The deplorable condition oX the Chinese prisons Is Justified In the national philosophy. To the Chinese mind a law Is a thing to be obeyed. A law conjeerns millions ana conserves the welfare of millions. It must be held inviolate by the individual, be his whim hl3 personal bent whatever it may. H The Chinaman who disregards any item or the Chinese law becomes a social leper. Individual tendency, moral ill health, inherited traits they are taken into account not at all. This Is cruel? Yes. But It renders existence possible in the overdensitv of Chinese population. 'No Chinaman is "noble" except through personal fitness. There are two exceptions to this rule two .only. The direct descendants of Confucius have a rank of their own. It is a high. rank. It is respecttd. Iut it gives them no power of Interference with national affairs. The descendants of an Kmperor are never1 less than royal. Hut they have no necessary power. In brtef, then, in China, "every man Is served according to his deserts.", A Chinese prison is callei a "canjjue." Its outer door is barred with bamboo and is guarded by petty soldiers or policemen. The "cangue"' contains two rooms and two yards. One room and yard are for men. The other room and yard are for women. The space set apart for women 13 very much smaller than that for men. But the women's quarters and the men's quarters ar3 alike in bcius: entirely devoid of any provision for personal comfort or for perfco:ii! decency. Chinese prisoners are by the government provided with absolutely nothing but the space beyond which they may not pass. If their mends tnrusi iooa to uiem tnrougn the bar3 of the prison fence the law does not intemcse. Otherwise the prisoners may starve. The law does not interpose. I used to take food to ' the Shanghai prison yards. I wa3 not Jeered at A Chinese crowd !s, I believe, incapable of Jeering at a woman. Hut I was condemned for It, and a high Chinese official remonstrated with my husband. I used to buy Chinese food at a cheap chowchow shop, and when I reached a prison fence hire a coolie to feed the poor, starving wretches. I did not quite care to feed them myself, and it was quite impassible for them to feed themselves. No Chinese prisoner can reach his own mouth, for his neck is invariably locked In a board, which is about three feet square. It Is very heavy and galls the neck. It blisters or ossifies the shoulders. The "pig-tail" drags heavily over It, and pulls the poor enlocked head uncomfortably to ono plde. It prevents the hands from lifting rice or water to the cravinjr mouth and from brushing from the tingling nose one of the myriad Insects that Infest the prisons and the prison yards of China.

Hannon summoned patrolman Mahoney, but before the ofllcer arrived the clamoring mob had broken Id the front door of his house and were preparing to enter. While they were discussing a plan of securing the money patrolman Mahoney and Sergecnt Harlow arrived. They were unable to capture any of the disturbers, who ran at the approach of the officers.
