THE NEW TARIFF BILL. 1||

The NrhMlnlr prapwwl hjr lb« W*y» and I'ominiltM. "WASHWIOTON, March 19-—The tariff bill entire will bo presented to the loll committee yet this week. The clauaes relating to carpet woolen, Mexican lead ores and one or two other article have -not yet been finally and definitely paired upon. While the hill is not absolutely completed and will of course be subject to revision it Is believed to be substantially a finished measure, so far as the majority of the committee is concerned*

The internal revenue feature of the bill am follows The entire abolition of all special taxes upon dealers of Iffall kinds, commonly known as 11I%eexi8es the taxes upon snuff will be repealed? farmers and planters growing flobaeeo will have the liberty to sell to ,, whomsoever they please without restraint in the same manner as any farmer can dispose of any other of the

products of his land, The tax upon Manufactured tobaceo will be reduced from $ cents to 4 cents a pound cigars, cheroots and cigarettes will carry the same tax as is imposed under the present law. Alcohol used in the arts free under substantially the same restrietions as are prescribed in the Senate bill. The reductions' in the revenue from these sourccs will be in found numbew bth i_m tween $17,000,000 and 119.000,000.

The chemical schedule contains but

few changes from existing law. There are some miuctions i*nd no advances in duty, and it is bel&ved that the duties of this schedule will be found below the Senate schedule. The eaHhenware and glassware schedules remain substantially in the existing law. pfis are a number of important ehan8«in the metal schedule, Existing rates are maintained upon imn ore *nd Iron. IWrt^ed wire for fencing is m'ad«" Hitiable at 10 cents per pound: 'lihich is Mow the duty upon that kind iron entering into other use. Beame, oirtkm and structural iron is reduced from ll to H) per pound, which is Wuction below that of the Senate

Ball way iron is mhwed 6*10 cent^, mi pound, the present rate being $17 per !,n. redaction of about *4 per too and ix'dnction in the rate fixed by the Sen* ate ill. The duty on steel rails is re» duo*i $4 »r ton. The duty on tin plate has lx*» increased to 2 240 cents pr wound. I*ig tin remains Urn* Iiev#*h,it with enwurs^njent our tin ijmiw will be nuanuiactumi in mis naflEV.

nd. duty on eggs is raised to a dozen, potatoes to 25 cents a bushel. Hides which are now on the free list, are made dutiable at 14 cent a pound. There is a small increase in the doty upon fruits. Oranges and lemons in packages of 3} cubic feet or leas, twenty-five cents for packages in packages exceeding li and not exceeding 2J cubic feet, fifty cents a package. Raisins 2| cents a pound duty.

Spirits, wince and other beverages have been left as found in existing law. .Salt also has not been touched- Cotton man" ufactnres are left substantially as in the Senate bill. Jute, manilla, son and eizal grass are put upon the free list, as is degras, which enters into the finishing of leather. A reduction is made in the duty on binding twine.

In the wool schedule, wools of the first class, known as clothing wool, eleven cents a pound, wools of the second class, known as combing wools, twelve cents, carpet wools valued.at twelve cents or less, 3| cents per pound valued at over twelve cents, 8 cents a pound. This is a reduction of 1 cents a pound from the Senate bill, and an increase of 11 cents from the present law. In the Mills bill, wool was put on the free list and duty given to the manufacturers of woolen fabribs was from 40 to 45 per cent. As this bill makes wool dutiable it gives compensation to the manufacturers for the duty imposed upon wool. The difference between the duty given the manufacturers by the Mills bill and the proposed measure is only 10 per cent. After giving the manufacturers a compensatory duty for the duty upon wool, yarns and cloths are made dutiable at 40 per cent, ad valorem additional, woolen goods at 60 per cent, and ready-made clothing at 60 per cent. The carpet schedule has not yet been definitely arranged. It is understood, although there is some division in the committee upon the subject, that for the encouragement of silk culture in the United States a duty will be recommended upon raw silk. •Sugar, under and including 16 Butch standard, is made dutiable at 35 per cent, and above 10 Dutch standard at 40 per cent. This gives 6 per cent, additional duty to the refiners and as the standard is raised from 18 to 10 the people of the United Stales will be enabled, in case the refiners combine to put up prices, to import sugar which will be in every way fit for family use. This is a cut in the duties upon sugar of from 60 to 60 per cent. Molasses Is made dutiable at 25 per cent advalorem, the present rate being specific. This is a considerable re duction.

The committee has not yet settled upon what duties .shall be levied on lead ore, this beina one of the few matters yet to be definitely passed upon.

It is estimated by the framers of the bill that it will reduce the revenues about sixty million dollars. Of this reduction from twenty-six to twenty-seven million will be secured by the cut on sugar and from seventeen to nineteen million by the internal revenue features of the bill. The free list, which contains with a few exceptions, all the items of the Senate bill and a few others which were not in the Senate bill, will, it is estimated, make a reduction of one and one-fourth and one and one-half million of dollars. The revisions made throughout the tariff schedule are expected to make up the difference between the Bums named and sixty million dollars

19.—The

scandal of

the week in the American colony is the attempt of the undertaker who buried Minister Lincoln's son to make capital out of it The man's name is Halford Lupton Mills. It is an old custom in England when a family is bereaved to send out memorial cards, with mourning, to intimate friends. But Minister Lincoln is not an Englishman and did not observe the custom. So the undertaker, Mills, decided to do it for him. While at Mr. Lincoln's house attending to the details of the funeral, he managed to get access to the visiting cards of the callers and the letters of those who had Sent messages^, of sympathy during his son's* illness. These included nearly all the Americans in Ixradon. On'Thursday these Americans were astonished to receive a brilliant blue card, with a gili edge, announcing the death of Abraham Lincoln. It also contained a conspicuous advertisement of Mills, the undertaker, and his shop,. In some of the envelopes were printed copies of the hymns sung at the luneral service, which was a strictly private affidr, l^ing sent with the cards, it seemed as if all had been sent by Minister Lincoln or with his knowledge* This was followed to-day by an equally wide distribution of proof sheet extracts from an undertakers' weekly journal, notifying Americans in London that Mills, by reason of his services as undertaker to James Bussell Lowell when ha wife died, and to Mr, Liocolu, was the proper man to employ when overtaken By what Mills calls "their last and bitterest enemy."

ID.—All

day long yesterday there was a constant drizzling rain and late in the afternoon this increased to a steady downpour, yet apparently heedless of this the worn out searchers for the remains of the firemen who were buried alive in the BowenMerrill wreck continued. This is the most appalling disaster that has ever befalled the city and there has been unmversal sorrow since the news of the terrible fate of ol Jtbe firemen first flashed like wild fire through the city. The city is in mourning for her dead, many of whom were the oldest firemen on the force, and who never flinched from duty even at the risks of their lives. The heart aches and pains of the families and friends of the firemen who lost their lives in the vain endeavor to put out the awfei fire are unspeakable. The Daily News subscription fond for the relief of the families of the deceased is growing rapidly, and the Journal has raised a considerable fund. President Harrison has telegraphed 1200 for the relief fund, which has now swelled to several thousand dollars.

The search for bodies was most horrible. Relatives of the men known to be buried under the ruins came to the firemen who composed the greater part of the rescuing party and made piteous appeals to hasten the work that the bodies of their beloved ones might possibly be taken out before the darkness of night came on. The moans and cries of these unfortunates who had lost sons,

usbands, fathers and brothers had a terrible effect upon the searchers Many of the rescuers had worked incessantly on the ruins since the fire in the hope of lending a helping baud to some fellow man who might even th@n be despairing of his life.

The suspense was terrible. The reporters were in many cases compelled to turn their heads when some heart broken wife or mother began to cry in anguish for some one to save her dear one from death in the ruins and many a tear drop bedimmed the eyes of the omnipresent news gatherer as these scenes were enacted. As soon as the subscriptions to the relief fund are all" in a benefit will be given simultaneously at two of the opera houses for the widows and families'of the deceased. The work at the ruins progressed very slowly through the daytime and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the body of Kpsey Stonner was reached, it was horribly mutilated and presented the worst appearance of anybody that had been taken from the ruins. It was burned and scalded almost beyond recognition and the left leg was entirely burned off above the knee, leaving only the trunk of the body. He leaves three little motherless children, the oldest of wj^om is 12 years of age. it I Jg*

The search for the body of Heriry D. Woodruff, which was known to be in th# ruins, continued throughout the afternoon, without result. It could not be located. The scene was™ desolate and dreary The ^.effort was not abandoned, however, and as evening's shades gathered the electric ughts about the ruins were again utilized and the work was continued. After nightfall the rain descended more steadily and the prosecution 6f the work became dangerous. The remnants of the upper floors in front, which became saturated with water, threatened to fall, audit was deemed unsafe bv Street Commissioner Deliuiter, who had charge of the clearing force, to continue the work under the circumstances. Operations ceased, therefore, about 8:15 o'clock. The body or bodies still unreeovered were, of course, known to be beyond human aid, and the necessity of their removal was not considered sufficiently imperative to warrant the risk of further casual ity in their rescue. Woodruff had been thirteen weeks in the service, and was 4$ yeanS old. He leaves a widow and three children.

All of the injured firemen were, with but one exception, eared for by their families, and all that could be done for them by kind and lovinsr friends was done, yet some of them suffered terrible agony. John Burkhart fought hard for his life, but was so badly injured that he was finally compelled to succumb to the inevitable. He died at

7:45

last night. He was

years old and was a good and faithful fireman. His death naakee the number of dead eleven in all while seventeen more are injured, uome probably fatally. Burkhart was in the debris teti hoars before be could be gotten out.

It seems impossible as yet to do more than theorise on the immediate cause of the collapse, ,hut it is the opinion of those familiar with the construction of the building that some central support either in the cellar or the first floor, gave way Mid caused the disaster There is really no kind of construction which could stand a firs like that. There must have been intense heat caused byth* combustible material in the store. The trouble is we are away' behind the tiaaes in building, and we have no tirst-clsas business* blocks. The wonder is that we haven't had a fire before this that swept the city. It Is about time that the people are waking tip to ts nearly be done work with term coUa aadmslrie no wood at all. The front of the Bowen-Merrill building was of unprotected iron, while the rest of the structure was in »o way calculated to rmmt the fiame*. iorror lacrwwil.

At five minutes beiore 1 cfcloek this afternoon the whole Interior ol the Bowea-Mevrilt building fell with a crash, taking three or tnore workmen down with it The

has been closed by the police to prevent farther disaster. "i The UKsl. Fjxciai to Tart Hani* Kern:

NELLIE BLY TALKS.

She lias fallen Oat Witb The W»rW and is no Longer a Reporter. Special to the Terre Haute New®.

INDIANAPOLIS,

Ind., March —Nellie

Bly lectured at the Grand opera House here, last night, on herfiying trip around the world. The terrible calamity that had just befallen the city and the inclemency of the weather had a telling effect on her audience, but in spite of the adverse circumstances, the house was comfortably filled. When she stepped out onto the stage she was greeted with a storm of applause. She was not introduced by any one, but walled out onto the stage and began her lecture. "She explained that she could not lecture in the true sense of the term but would tell the story Of her remarkable trip. She began by saying that the idea was original with herself that in a fit|of despondency she had wished herself on the other side of the world then she began to envy Phineas Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne's novel, and then she thought why not go round the world. In the morning she looked up a route and began to think it possible to carry eut the scheme to make the trip in eighty days.

She reported to the editor and after some argument on the subject it was finally agreed that she should go. She was given a day and a half to prepare for the trip. She had a new dress made the whole suit was made in five hoursand with one dregs and a few small articles packed in a hand satchel she made the trip. She wore the dress in which she made the trip. It is of blue flannel with large sleeves and an overekirt of plaid flannel slightly draped. She makes a very good appearance on the stage, talks well and tells her story in a straightforward and winning way.

At the close of the lecture your correspondent saw Miss Bly on the

Btage

and

accompanied her from the onera house to the Bates House where he had a long interview with her. He found a very different person from what he had Imagined Nellie Bly to be. She is a sweet faced girl of 23 and on the whole might be called pretty. She doesn't look to be over 18 years old but when asked her age said very frankly that she was 23. She is young and girlish, very frank in her manner and conversation somewhat sly. with a disposition to flirt, just a little, if sfye dared, which gives her the appearance of being to a very slight degree giddy. Her name is Elizabeth Cochrane and her home is at Pittsburg. In the course of the conversation she related several experiences she had had while a reporter on the New York World.

Your correspondent pressed her with questions in regard to the World and she finally admitted having had a disagreement with the management and that shd was no longer in the employ of that paper. She then related the story of her disagreement with the World and how she came to leave its employ. Her story was substantially as follows: "I had scarcely completed my trip when it was intimated by several in authority in the World office that mv services would no longer"be needed. It was a day and a half after I reached New York that 1 was told that I had dpne the biggest thing for the World that I could ever do and that they would not need me longer. "Then the trouble began. I received no salary for the time I was gone and onlv got the trip for making it Wh'ile on the way I spent $40 for myself—that is, it was not absolutely necessary to sp«*nd it in making the trip— and they took that out of my salary. They have abused me and treated me mean. 1 was subpoenaed to ap^ar in a libel suit against the World. 1 had engaged to lecture and wanted the lawyers to take my testimony and let me go. They would not do that as the World was working the suit for advertisement. I was under contract and would have lost money had I remained in New York, and as I was no longer interested in the World and didn't care about them getting a big advertisement at my expense I skipped out. The World lost the suit and I suppose if I go back to New York I will be jailed for contempt to court. That will not prevent me from going back, however, whenever the time comes. One evening I was stopped on the streets in New York by one of the World's private detectives—private detectives are the meatiest men on earth-Hand abused. The fellow caught hold of me and tried to drag me with nim. In the scuffle I lost my pocket book containing

$200

and I

have sent the bill in to the World." Miss Nellie is slight in stature, has black hair, which she always wears braided down her back with the end of the braid doubled tinder so as to make it only about teti inches long. Her eves are brown and the pupils are noticeably large. Her complexion is clear though dark and when standing whether speaking or not she evinces a continued nervousness, standing first on one foot and then on the other. £he referred to *r the monkey once. Her voice %*w sad as she remarked (hat the poor fellow had taken cold in Chicago And had since shown no spirit at aft. "He seems to know he will die/' was bet closing statement.

Miss Bly is ft delightful couveraatkmalist and entertains well Dating the evening she ordered cake and chocolate and toe party enjoyed themselves hugelv. She is as full of interesting siortas as an egg is full of meat. It was 11 o'clock when yoar correspondent hid Nellie Blj

Plat was substantially the dedication of Buckeye street, east of Lafayette avenue.

Park commissioners were gtanteri further time in the matter of purchasing in a park east of the city. Ordinance introduced at last meeting concerning the planting of shade trees according to the councils direction came up and was defeated. Fire Chief Kennedy was granted leave of absence to attend funerals of firemen at Indianapolis, and was empowered to permit the absence for the same purpose of such men under him as he deemed proper. Resolution by Steeg to have water mains extended on Liberty avenue from Fifteenth to Twenty-first was referred to committee on water. Resolution by Store to improve Fourteenth from Crawford to College* referred. Resolution by Ijeinberger that the city join the township and share expenses equally in filling up the ditch east of the city, referred.

Committee on judiciary and finance, to whom was referred the matter of learning the probable cost of revising the city ordinances, reported that the approximate cost would be $450 or $500, that the exact cost could not be ascertaihed until the printers could be furnished the exact number of pages, and recommending that the mayor and city attorney be added to the committee to learn what the exact cost would be and report the same to the council approved

Mr. J. G. Heinl objected to being taxed for $3,000 worth of personal property uut the council did not act upon his objections. The committee to whom was referred the petition to convert the new annex on the north into anew ward was granted an extension of time because of the city limits now in progress. Mr. Donham called attention to the fact that the city commissioners had many bills in the council for work done during the past year, that the commissioners might need the.money with which to pay their taxes and that the bills should bo allowed. The council seemed desirous of requiring the commissioners to pay their taxes in cash before three motions to adjourn were made in quick succession, of which the first two were lost and the third prevailed. The council proceedings were short and uninteresting. JVlr, Hybarger was absent.
