The American protective association and the catholics came together in a bloody conflict at the polls in tliis rity today. It cannot b stated which side is responsible for tho affray as the partisans of each loudly charged th.- other with ldng the full cutis. of all the trouble. More than loo hots were exchanged bo t ween the combatants in b-ss than that many kccoihIs end when the firing ceased the folio" 'nt; named were lyirg dead, dying or Injured n the pavement: Killed : MIKK CALLAHAN, city sidewalk Inspector.

The riot was the culmination of bitter fueling which had been manifested by ectiott aid words ever since the poll-t cpened this morning. The two antagonistic element were solidly divided in their choice of candidates for mayor. Th aggressive support that each side (gave to Its candi'late lurlng one of the hottest campaigns ever known in this ity engender-d u strong sentiment of bigotry. It WH, therefore, in no amiable jnood that the workers of the rcsju'ctlve factions came together nt the different polling places throughout the city, and that the;-,.? workers came expecting trouble to tM-eur l-fore the day wore uway is apparent from the number of deadly weapons that were drawn when the first pistol shot wan tired. The 1'lliiiM of the Day. The riot that resulted so fatally was Hie climax of a series of smaller riots that t'k place at other jxdnts earlier in the day between the same opposing religion factions. Ti 's riot took pkie on the Southwest b aevard. in the Fifth ward, very close to police? station No. 3, and those who took part in it had been heated to the fighting temjer by reports that had Iwen hourly arriving at the station of brawls at other polling placet. Duly fine hour before it was known that John (Jooley, a stonemason, was shot In the back and forehead by "William Henry Walker at a voting place nt the corner of Fifth and Campbell-sts. and that the row was directly due to a debate between the two men regarding the principals of the American protective iissoolation, to which (Jooley was violently opiMed. That (Jooley was not InPtantly killed was due pimply to the fact that the pistol used was a mere tdy of IJ-calibre. The. American protective association, Which supix'ited Webster Davis, the republican candidate for mayor, had their own workers at th different twilling places, and they distributed In some prelim Is their own tickets bearing their candidate! nam' and decorated with the Ameiican Hag. Jim Pryor, a Fifth ward politician, Antagonist l; to the A. I. A., who supported Frank Johnson, the labor and factional democrat ie cancldate, was active at the head of fifty constables which he got Justice Ratshaw to appoint last right. It was said by pome that these constables were, many of them, irrosimn sible characters and were nolely the raune f f all tb trouble. Consequently there were loud throats of mobbing them tefure they got to headquarters after the bloody riot was over. It Is claimed that one of I'ryor'a followers fired the first shot. That man was Mike Callahan and he was a, dad man the next moment. Tin Ilntlle lleglna. Then the battle began. The deputy constables at this tilling booth, and the Workers of all the political factions crowded together aliout one hundred strong and every ono of them seemed t be armed. For a minute or two the discharge of weapons sounded like a discharge of musketry by a regiment. Hundreds of citizen gathered at every jMnt tf vantage to witness th battle, which, however, was of short duration. These on-lookers trembled with excitement. Many of the resident along the boulevard added to th general feeling of terror by leaning from their windows houtlng and gesticulating wildly. In less than five minute from the time the first rot wi fired, however, the blue coat from station No. 3 had appeared upon the scene and qulted the disturbance. With their first approach the righting; political worker ceased hostilities and made, a quick effort to hide thdr weapons. Pryor's men are claiming that Calahan win an Innocent victim. They assert that It wm Jerry N- Pate, an A. P. A. mai who fired the flrt Phot, and that wm the shot that killed Callahan. Pate wa serving as a constable, having been appointed especially by a Vtport official to serve a warrant for the arrest of Jim Pryor. John Pryor, his son, and Bert Pryor for an alleged felonious
Anyway he and Callahan met, had pome words and either one or the other fired the shot that commenced the conflict. Art bor' Story. Pryor's aide of t,he ptory gets some color from the fact that Harry Arthur, who Is, however, one of Pryor's followers, saya he himself is the man who shot Pate In the face. According to his Btory he was standing on the bridge that crosses O. K. creek, close to the scene of the riot, when jerry Pate and another man came from the other end of the bridge in a buggy with four men running behind him. When Pate reached the spot where Arthur was standing he jumped out of his buggy with a gun in hand and. grabbing hold of Harry JkGovern, he said: 'Herc"s one of the men we are after. I've got a warrant for your arrest." "I went up to Pate and said: 'You can't take him. "Jim Todd stepped out too and said: Xo you can't take me either. " "I'm a deputy constable and you've got to go," said Pate, and then turning to the man In the buggy: "Head that warrant." "Just then Mike Callahan came running toward us from the northern end of the bridge. He ran up to Pate and asked him what right he had to carry a pistol and demanded to see his permit. The two men exchanged angry words and then Pate aimed at Callahan and fired. Callahan returned the fire, and then I and the rest of us began to shoot. 1 shot Pate." "While the riot was in progress it Is said that members of the American protective association telephoned to Armourdale and Argentine, strongholds of that order, for reinforcements for 1.000 armed men and that the assurance was given that the men would shortly be on the way. Members of the A. P. A. in this city and Armourdale deny the truth of this story. The afTair is being heatedly discussed at most all public resorts in the city tonight ami feeling runs very high. About a dozen arrests have been mad in connection with the rioting on the boulevards, and the police are working on evidence which they have gathered from the men now under arrest, and it is probable that further arrests will be made tomorrow. No further disturbance has occurred tonight, und it is thought that there will be no further trouble. Keturns received up to 11 n'rlook tonight indicate that Webster Davis, the straight republican candidate for mayor, hau been elected by a good majority over all other tickets, carrying with him the entire republican ticket. As midnight approaches there are siffns of things coming to a focus. An lnijosing force of strikers, fully 5.000 of them, are now forming to raid the southern region. Reports made at 11 oVlct-k by the deputies who are watching the movement say the raiders start some time between midnight and daylight, probably nearer midnight than morning, with the purpose to march over this section and make the strike complete in the southern region at least by driving out the last man now at work and forcing a general shut down. The only operators now standing out against the trlk rs are the II. C. Frick company, the McClure company and W. J. Halney. They make a bold Ftand tonight and say thv will tight the matter to a finish. The Friik ni'-n are at work wherever they have not been driven off by force. If a suthVi-nt number of deputies an be obtained to guard them Frick will operate all his works tomorrow, as there are plenty of men who are willing to work if they can do so in safety. Tonight .10) men, armed with revolvers and Winchesters, ure on guard in this region. An unaccountable supply of "booze" Is flowing freely and late tonight hundreds of strikers ate practically insane from drink.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON. I). C, April 9. Anticipation that Hill would assail the administration and declare himself against the Wilson tariff drew an immense crowd of spectators in the galleries, nire out of curiosity than of admiration. More than one hundred members came over from the house. Tom Reed and all the big republicans were there, expecting to hear something drop that would settle the fate of the Wilson bill. Democrats were there also, expecting almost anything frum the great trickster. The speech of Senator Hill was chiefly devoted to an extensive and bitter attack on the income tax feature of the Wilson bill. His opening remarks, however, took a wider range. He began: The political revolution which commenced in lvsi) and culminated in 102 was nn emphatic expression of the popular will In behalf of certain governmental policies. Measures and not men were largely the issues involved in that movement. Rightly Interpreted. It Indicated the public sentiment in opposition to intrenchment upon the reserved rights of the states, through odious federal election laws, some proposed and other then existing; tt voiced the general demand for a discontinuance of the unwise and Indefensible financial system of silver bullion purchases by the government, instead of the coinage contemplated by tli constlt ution-i system equally a hindrance to the return to bimetallism as well us a menace to a sound and stable currency; It manifested the desire for a better administration of public affairs, greater economy in governmental expenditures, and the exaction of higher oftlHal standards in the execution of public trusts; it demanded a more safe, dignified and consistent foreign policy; and it condemned that abuse or perversion of the taxing power of the government which is known uh the policy of protection for protection sake alone, and declared in favor of a taiifT for revenue. The I'orclaii Volley. Mr. Hill then took tip the foreign policy of the administration, saying: It 1 not denli.xl that some mistaken have occurred. Our foreign policy, especially that relating to Hawaii. It must be udmltted, has not met the expectations of the people. A sense of humiliation prevailed when the project for the restoration of a deposed monarchy was unfolded by the administration, and gratification ensued when Its abandonment or failure was reluctantly announced, Influenced largely by an aroused public sentiment. That unfortunate contemplated policy was a blunder, and a blunder lü sometimes worse than a crime. It was, however, the natura! consequence which miKht well have been anticipated from that other mistake In placing the department of state in charge of a republican statesman, dlstingttltthfd and estimable though he may be, whose public services have always been In opposition to the democratic, party, who wan without sympathy for Its traditions and purposes, and whose political convictions upon the disputed public fpiestions of the day if changed at all, am carefully concealed. It Is to be reretted that the president should not have been able to find in his own party some safe and honored statesman in whom he and his party could have placed confidence one of democratic instincts and training, whose management of foreign affairs would have reflected credit upon the country, and would have avoided the promulgation of that un-American pulley a departure from democratic precedents which was sought to be forced upon an unwilling people. In this view of the situation our opponents must afcept om share of the responsibility for the blunders committed In our foreign alYtilrs. In other rwspecta the present administration of our Kovcmment afford.' scant grounds for Just criticism. Senator Hill spoke of the repeal of the federal election lajtr as a fulfillment of the party's pledges, and a triumph for the Just doctrine? of states rights, and indorsed the repeal of the Sherman law. Coming then to the main question tariff reform h said that revision should be appnwwhed with circumspection and with a realizing sense of tho, changed condition of the country tdnce 1SS7 and IM", adding: An extreme reJucllon of tariff duties nt a time when tiie treasury was swollen with a surplus of a hundred million dollars, when the country was reasonably prosperous, whcii all our Industries were In motion, and all our worklngmen were employed, assume-i a different unpect and presenloi a different question when proposal now with a large and KXuwiiitf treasury deficit Instead of a surplus staring us In the f.ice, with our Industrien paralyzed, our manufactories closed, our workingmen idle, and following upon the heHa of one of the most disastrous financial panics In our history. What was saf and prudent and wise then, it would be crlmlna.I folly to attempt now. The present is no time for partisanship, und democrats and republicans alike should strive to solve existing problems in a spirit of broad patriotim. In the face of th prostration of private industries, and In the presence of such a paralysis of general business, as tho treasury deticlt sltest and prolong, this bill, as framed by Its authors and as passed by the house, sought to double the deficit by discarding customs revenue and to Mil th void with an income tax. Oppoira 4he Income Tax. Tho rest of his speech waa given up to the Income tax question, and hi opening words defined his position in unequivocal and forceful language. He fiald: Agilnst such a scheme unnecessary. Ill-timed and mischievous suddenly sprung upon the country in the hour of Its distress, undemocratlo In tta net ure end socialistic in Its tendencies, l enter the protest of the people of the statt of New York. They utterly dissent from any proposal to get revenue for the general government by taxing Incomes. Their dissent Is practically unanimous and altogether Implacable. He Intimated that the tariff bill was constructed on lines laid down by the administration; that It was an anomalous state of affairs when the president should be able to give congress information n to what had occurred in a committee of the house, and said: In these latter days the distinction betwea the functions and perogaUvts of tha
executive department on the one hand and the legislative department on the other do not seem to be always observed. The truth is that the first information which congress had of the alleged details of the proposed bill was In the message itself. Hut the strangest part of this unprecedented proceeding was that in fact at the very date of the message, to-wit, Dec. 4. lxW. neither the full committee of ways and means nor the democratic members thereof had agreed upon a:iy income tax or other internal revenue. Compliments to Voorlteea. The senior senator from Indiana. Mr. Voorhs, calls this allentlon a "noisy and nsound'.ng charge." Let me tell him that I'. Is nor. half so noisy as the constant vituperations which w-o hear on every hand from blatant demagogues who are abroad In the land, loudly inveighing against the wealth of the country and impudently demanding its confiscation through every means which their devilish insrnulty can Invent. The public should not be misled into the belief that only those whose incomes exceed fi.Om are affected by this bill. That la a mistaken idea. In the first place, all those having incomes less than . but more than $3,500, are put to the annoyance of making sworn returns; they neglect it at their peril. In the second place, it may reasonably be apprehended that some portion of the tax paid will reimburse itself by an increase, of rents where the Income was derived from that source. So. poor tenants niay be affected in some degree as well as rich landlords. The bill seriously affects the rights and Interests of building and loan associations throughout the country incorporated under state laws. The senate .amendments do not euro the defects complained of. A I lcg;et Dlncrlniinatlon. To show the sectional discrimination of the tax he referred to the incomo tax of 1So3-73, which extorted from the people an aggregate sum of $317,21'9,8D7.SS. Of this sunt the eastern states paid IS per cent., the middle states r.n per cent., and together they paid 71 per cent. New York alone paid 30 per cent. It has not been claimed that these percentages will be materially changed if this bill becomes a law. He added: For my own part, as a democrat, I prefer Indirect taxation and tariff reform above direct taxes and tariff extinction. 1 prefer taxing foreign presfücts rather thnn taxing home prtducts. 1 follow Jefferson in regarding even the species of indirect taxation on home products by internal revenue war taxes as not good to be extended, and the first to be rid of when their need is pa!"t. If McKinley ism Is socialism for the benefit of the rich and the income tax is socialism for the benefit of the poor, no true American democrat will look to the hair of the dog to cure his bite. American democrats will reject socialism of both kinds. If my counsels were heeded, I would surprise and satisfy the country by the conservatism of our progress In revenue reform. The McKinley bill lo?t the country to our opponents by Its extreme feat tires In one direction und we rhould avoid the opposite extreme. lie quoted from the speech of Senator Voorhees that the passage of the bill would produce a surplus, and said that, according to this statement, the bill haw "Jumped out of the lrylng-pan Into the fire." Krön a deficiency there has arisen an Immoderate surplus. One extreme has iK-en succeeded by another. The committee made many changes, taking sugar, iron, coal, lead and other articles from the free list and making them dutiable, and providing for a tax upon sugar estimated by olticial experts to realize S41.S22.C23.61. and additional tax on spirits from which $10,000,0O is anticipated. Yet, notwithstanding these large additions of revenue sources to the bill, the committee Mill retained the Income tax.
THE WAGES OF SIN. T, jr. HauKhey Appears In Court and Pleads ;ulltj. There was a deeply impressive sene traded yesterday afternoon in the room of Judge Itaker of the ITnlted States district court, when Theodore P. Haughey apiM'ured, bowed with the weight of sixty-five years and the consciousness that he had nothing; more to live for in this world, and confessed to having systematically and wilfully wrecked and looted the? institution of which he had been the head since its birth, thirty years before, robbed and plündere'! his life-long friends, neighbors and associates and betrayed every trust that had ever lieen confided to him. With his own hands he dug the pit, and with his own hand he has drawn the curtain that must henceforth separate him from the world. The crime has been confessed in all it3 enormity and with no qualification or attempt at mitigation, and-nothing remains to be done but to suffer the punishment. The crime of'whlch T. I. Haughey has confessed his guilt i. exceeded In enormity and heinousness by but two murder and arson. Tho punishment which Justice and the law have afllxcd to It Is Imprisonment In the penitentiary for a period of years not less than five or more than ten. and the only way that the nvati who for forty years has beeti one of the most trusted of the citizens of Indianapolis can escape being incarcerated behind the steel-barred walls of the Michigan City Institution is by death or the pardon of the president of tho United States. The pica of guilty uion the part of Mr. Haughey came in the nature of an intense surprise to everyone except his immediate attorneys and legal advisers. Other attorneys interested in the other defendants In the bunk cases were astounded and could scaicdy credit the fact. Several weeks, ago it had been strongly hinted and generally rumored that such an action would result, but the phase matters have taken during the past week, and tho fact that his attorneys were busily engaged preparing for the trial seemed to indicate that such a course, if at first deliberated upon, had been abandoned and that T. I. Haughey would appear for trial this morning as at first pupioed. Attorneys for the government and 11 the defendants say the idea of guilty bus no significance relative to the other defendants, and the trials of the alleged accessories will proceed as though there had been a formal trial of the principal resulting. In cither his conviction or ucqulttal. The fact that District Attorney Ihirke announced as soon as the plea of "guilty" had been entered that the Cofiln and Reed Indictment would be taken up this morning, led many to surmise that cither the indictment of Schuyler C. Haughey would be nollied or that he would also plead guilty, as his case is docketed ahead of the Cofüns. In reply to this, however. Mr, Rurke said the surmise was without foundation and Schuyler Haughey would be tried as the others will be. He said all the cases had been set for trial on April 20 and the government could take them up In any order it chose. It bad decided to try the Coffins next, and that was all there was In it. nnAiv wnnKKtrtH lae lloraford'a Acid Phosphate.

The Army Finally Arrive at Sacramento f Jen. Krye'w Itnnd Compelled to I'vucunte Knmt St. Louis The March of the Commonweal Through I'ennaylvanla Provision for the Men nt Homestead. OAKLAND, Cal., April C The city of Oakland has had many exciting events in its history, but nothing has occurred here to compare with the turmoil caused early this morning by a regiment of unemployed men which left San Francisco Wednesday to Join Coxey's army in its Journey to Washington. All night long every man, woman and child in Oakland was on the streets, the riot alarm was pounded, the governor was asked to call out the national guards, extra police and deputy sheriffs were sworn In and armed with rifles and preparations were made for fighting of the bloodiest kind, because 640 unemployed and desperate men refused to leave the city. Only a rash word or an unlucky shot wa.s required "to precipitate a contlict which would have resulted in the extinction of this branch of the industrial army, for the men who composed it were mostly unarmed and could have made but a feeble resistance to the officers and citizens. Rut the word was not uttered nor the shot fired, nor the army overcome by force. It consented to move when It was seen that the further resistance to the will of the citizens of Oakland W;us useless. At midnight the mayor. Sheriff McKlllican and Chief Schaefer held a consultation, and it was decided to drive the industrial prmy out of the city at 3 o'clock In the morning. The excitement at the city hall was running high. Officers were arming them-dves with pistols, clubs, Winchester rifles, etc. Sergt. Fletcher commenced to organize the men into companies, so as to l ready at a moment's notice. At 12::i0 o'cloi k no word had be n received from Sacramento, and tho militia were waiting orders to move and assist the police. The mayor and council were still at the city hall, and finally sent the chief of iM.liee and the theiiff to make a final request of Superintendent Wilder for passenger cars. Wilder refused. and final preparations for action were commenced. Oakland's polte- force consists of fifty men, and they were all on duty. At 2 o'clock a general alarm was sounded by the fire-bells and the citizens hastened to the city hall. There about one thousand two hundred men were sworn in a deputy sheriffs and were armed. The lire department alo responded and were armed. Ordered tt Move Oa, Then the city's forces marched to tho taWrnacle. where the army was peacefully blumberlng. They wcro awakened and ordered to move out. The men refused and thlogs looked ominous. Consultations were held on both sides. Finally the police arrested leader Kelly and several of his men and iKnned tha rest tif them up in a corner of the tabernacle. They Htlll refused to move unless their leader waa returned to them and the ollce held another consultation. At last they decided to release him. and Kelly Wiis carried lrnck on the shoulders of hi nun amid enthusiastic cheers. He made a speech to his followers counseling moderation, and asked them to comply with the demands of the ieople of Oakland. In tho meantime arrangements had beon made with the Southern Facllio for eight box cars, and it waa proposed to handle the army by force. Acting under orders, the Industrials agreed to submit ieacofully, and at 3:20 a. in. formed -a line, and. escorted by 200 arnu-d jsillce and citizens, marched to the Slxteenth-st. station, where they entered box cars, and shortly after 4 o'clock the train pulled out for Sacramento. Oakland heaved another big sigh of relief, and went back to bed. The Arrival nt Sncrnmeuto. SACRAMENTO. Cal. April C The California regiment of the industrial army, i'M strong, arrived at noon. The Industrials were huddled together hi eight freight cars like a band of sheep. As the train entered tho city they raised their flags and cheered. A company of Jim) men has been organized in Sacramento, the members of which will cast thdr fortunes with the new comers. The city tnemlars fed tho army on soup, bread and coffee. Oil. Raker, one of tho field officers, speaking for the nrmy, expressed indignation at the treatment tho men bad received at tho hands of the Oakland authorities. He said they wer on a peaceful mission and "hungry men should not be treated like beasts." Mayor Steinman arranged to ship the army Hast, and 1,'m of them left Sacramento at 5 o'clock on a special train of twenty freight cars. All of the cars wer" well filled. The commander of the army had an interview with Mayor Steinmin asking him to intercede wiih the railroads for free transportation. The mayor told him he was forbidden by constitution from any doings with a railroad. THH MARCH l. T11IJ WAST. Covey's Malt Ilrltcaile In Camp nt Ileynoldton, Pa. McKKKSFORT, Fa., April 6. The army of the Commonweal this evening Is In camp at Reynoldton and tonight tho men are deeping in the Coliseum, The entry into the city was watched by hundreds, but there was no demonstration.

About three hundred men were in line, many recruits having been received during the two days' stay in Pittsburg. The army having rested for two days stepped out briskly.
