By Telfciaph to the News land Objerver.
Wahihto, Deol 10. Sbbate.
At 1 o'clock the Senate resumed con
ulceration of the tariff hill, the pend
ing question being on Mr. Harris'
amendment to reduce the duty on
beams, girders, joists, angler, &e,
arjd all structural slapea of iron or
steel" from one nd one tenth cents
per pound to six teatt i of a cent per
pound. The amendment was advo
cated by Mr Reagan, but as Mr. Mo
Pherson desired to offer some amend
ments at the beginning of the metal
schedules, Mr. Hahis temporarily
withdrew the amendment.
Mr. McPherson thereupon moved
to amend "paragraph 120, as toliron in
Jijgs, &c , reducing the rate of duty
rom three -tenths of a cent per pound
to $6 a ton. He said that the rate
proposed by: him was that contained
in the House bill; that it was high
enough, and that its adoption would
allow further reductions to be made
without any injury to the industry.
! Mr. Allison opposed the amend
ment and it was rejected, yeas 20, najs
22. Mr. Plumb voted with the repub
licans in the negative.
j Mr. McPherson moved to amend
proviso in paragraph 122, (referring to
iron bars, blooms, or J billets in which
charcoal iB used as fuel) by reducirg
the duty from $22 per ton to $2U
per ton. Rejected, Jeai 20, nay a 20.
j Mr. McPherson? moved to reduce
tile duty on cast iron?pipe (paragraph
123) from nine-tenths of a cent per
pound to sixth-tenttiof a cent. He
stated that the cast fron pipe indus
try had formed a trAst or combina
tion under which the price was
foreign cost plus the duty and all; the
expenses. He thought that a little
Aaa nvAraiiriAn wrmlH! ana arm that in
dustry. The amendment was reject-
ea, yeas iy, nays z. i
These votes beincr all strlctlv Dartv
vjrtes, Mr. McPherson intimated that
ill seemed as if all, opposition to the
bill might as well cease if the amend
ments, bo reasonable were to receive
the united opposition of the republi-1
can aide of the chamber. Mr. Allison I
nodded his head. Then, said Mr.
McPerson, we are to understand, I
suppose, that the manufacturers of
iron-pipe may appeals before the com
mittee of the benate ind
fix any rate
they choose on their products without
hit regard to what tha consumers
may say about it. Sere is an abso
lutely prohibitory doty of $22 40 per

in opposing tne supstitute ana ex
posing its weak pointer and he ex
plained that the substitute had been

. . ? . f . . . I
the democratic Senators of that com- fluencing and controlling such elec
mittee knew nothing about it except tious; and,
from a curBOry reading just before it Whereas, Such contributions aud

of the substitute. Inhia opinion, if
it were to become! a law it would
bankrupt the whole country in less
than five years. H therefore moved
that the consideration or tne bin be
postponed till the ; tenth of January
next.
At the suggestion of Mr. Harris,
Mr. McPherson withdrew his motion
for postponement, it which there was
some quiet utuguier on -me repuDii
can side of the chamber.
Mr. McPherson (hen moved to re

Mr. Harris renewed his amendment
to reduce the dutylcn beame, girders,
loista, angles, &c-, from one and one
tenth cents per pound to six-tenths
cents. !
Hr. Vest argued! in support of the
amendment and said there was no
item in the bill oniwhich the two par
ties could better join issue than this
one. He spoke o Carnegie's profit
on thirty thousand tons of steel
beams manufactured in one. year as
over one million dollars and de
scribed the steel trust in this country
as onejJ'hoary with age." How long,
he asked, -was that trust to exist!
Mr. Sherman desired to state, once
f ofaHf the grounds of his several
votes on the torn, because it was
neither a matter f pleasure for the
Senate nor a matter of public utility
to waste time in repeating over and
over again the same argument for dif
ferent clauses of the bill. Undoubt
edly the Mills bll represented the
general sentiment of the democratic
party while the Senate substitute bad
been carried before the people of the
United S'ates and there debated, ad
vocated and supported. One bill
looked to a tariff for revenue onlj;
the other to a tariff for protection.
He would not undertake to define
what a tariff, for revenue only meant;
but tariff for protection meant a t inff
where rates were so fixed as not out
to give a reasonable revenue (not p o
hibiting importation) but also, il
every feature of it. to exteuo
Erotection and encouragement
ope , and competition amuu,
American "producers. The Senat
substitute represented the latter sen
timent. The paragraph proposed t
the amendment included a great va
riety of artioles, some of which ooJd
be produced in this country for $10
or $50 a tod, while others could uu
be produced for less than $70 a ton.
If it were possible to make a discrim
ination in the duty on these articles
it should be done, but it was impos
Bible without recurring to the ad va
lore a principle, and experience was
not favorable to that principle in im
posing duties on iron and steel. One
and one-tenth cents per pound might
be a little too high on some articles,
but it had been fixed upon by the
finance committee as a fair average
rate. As to Carnegie's monopoly he
(Mr. Sherman) knew nothing about it,
except that Carnegie had been the
first in this country to apply a con
tinuous process in the manufacture
of steel beams. ; Carnegie, he pre
sumed, had patents which could not
be taken away from him, but they
would soon expire. The time was
not far distant when all the struc
tural forms of steel and iron
would be multiplied to an
amsz ng extent and would be
produced cheaper and cheaper by
an offer of inducements to manufac
turers to enter into business. That
was one of the objects of the pro
posed rate cf duty. He thought it
better to sustain the finance commit
tee in its classification than to change
the ratea blindly! and at hap hazard.
In regard to trusts he looked upon,
them as one of the most dangerous
and subtle inventions of man, and
was in favor of j breaking them up.
They were contrary to the spiiit of
the common law of England, but the
only way, he thought, to break them
down was by inviting competition. II
that would not suffice he was willing
to ao to the extent of proposing a law
to prevent or ! punish them. The
Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Harm)
had made a motion some days since
to lay the Senate substitute on the
table and that motion had been re-
j?cted by the Senate, the vo;e being
an expression 01 opinion that tne
substitute was a! better bill than the
House bill. The principle having
been thus determined he thought
it batter to leave the details cf the
bill to the committee which framed
it, unless there was some palpable
error which ought to be corrected.
He asked his democratic friends to
abide by the judgement of the peo
ple on the question; that j idgment
had been in favor of American in
dustry.
At the conclusion of Mr. bnerman s
remarks and without coming to a
vote on the pending amendment, the
Senate at 4 p. m. adi urned.
HOCSB. ?
Mr. Holm an asked for the present
consideration of the following reso
lution: ,
Whkrias, It is publicly charged in
the public press and otherwise, that
in tne general elections oi recent
years, involving the election of Presi
dent and Vice President of the United
States and members of Congress,
large sums of money have been vol-
o- . .j- . . .
untanly contributed and expended in
various ways for the purpose of in-
I and impair the vigor and purity of
our free institutions: therefore
Resolved, That the committee on
judiciary be instructed to investigate
the said charges and to inquire wnat
legislation is necessary and proper
to suppress such contributions and
expenditures and to preserve and
maintain the freedom and purity of
the elective franchise, with authority
to report at ; any time, by bill or
otherwise.
A demand for the regular order by
Messrs. Wilkins, of Ohio, and
Weaver, of Iowa, operated as an ob
jection to the resolution.
Mr. llolman then request el its rel
erence to the committee on judiciary,
which was done, and tne House went
into committee of the whole on the
District of Columbia tppropriation
bill.
the only discussions arising over
the bill had reference to' the provis
ions for the purchase of sites for
schools or other public7 buildings.
The bill provides that, the purchases
shall be made without the employ
ment of agents.
Mr. Taulbee, of Kentucky, offered
an amendment permitting the em
ployment of regular real estate deal
ers. The amendment was agreed to.
On a point bf order the , clause was
ruled out which prohibits the com
missioners from authorizing the ereo
tion of additional telegraph, electrio
or other, wires over any of the streets
of Washington or Georgetown. ' The
bill was then laid aside for a favora
ble report to the House and the com
mittee proceeded to consider the pen
sion appropriation bill. This occa
sioned no debate and the committee
having arisen both bills were passed
and the House at 3 50 adjourned.

Ornanalters t Chicago.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, Dec. 10. Shortly after 6
o'clock this morning an attempt was
made to destroy Shufeldt & Co s dis
tillery in the northern portion of the
city by means of dynamite. Enough
facts are not known to justify the
conclusion as to whether it is the
work of anarchists or of soma one
who has a personal grievance against
the , Shufeldts. At the hour
mentioned the neighborhood was
shaken by a tremendous explosion
shaking buildingsintha neighborhood
breaking many panes of glass in the
surrounding houses and causing the
people to rush into the street in
f'reat alarm. A jagged hole three
eet square was torn in the roof of
a detached warehouse containing 15,
000 barrels of high wines. On the'
roof above, fifteen feet from the spot
where the explosion occurred, was
found a bundle of dynamite sticks
seven in number. These had not ex
ploded on account of some defect in
the fuse, which had evidently been
ignited. No great damage was done
and nobody was hurt. Whoever
threw the dynamite evidently in
tended to land it on the skylight
beneath, in which stood eig tit, large
vata filled with liquor. If the explo
sion had occurred upon the skylight
a tremendous disaster would have re
sulted. The distillery is not in the
whisky trust, and James D. Lynch,
manager of the distillery, says be be
lieves the attempt was by procure
ment of the whisky trust. He offers a
reward of $25,000 for Buch informa
tion as will lead to the detection and
arrest of the parties responsible for
the outrage. Members of the whisky
trust ridicule the idea that tbe at
tempt to' destroy the property was
the work directly or indirectly of
their organization.

defeat was brought about by large

weeks before the election as they did

Louisville, Ky., Dec. 10 A special
from Birmingham, Alabama, to the
Times sajs : A coroner's inquest to
day is endeavoring to get at the bot
tom of the facts in Saturday night's
massacre Excitement still runs
very high and tbe people are divided
over the action of the officers. One
very remarkable feature is that nearly
every man killed was shot in the back
showing that tbe crowd had turned
away when the firing was begun.
Postmaster Throckmorton was shot
in the back through and through. A.
D. Bryant was fhot throngh th haartl
from the rear. Many point to this as
very. damaging to the officers.
Several funerals took place this af
ternoon. After the body, of Mrs.
Hawes had been brought into the city
early Saturday night and afterward
ordered out by Mayor Thompson,
numerous repoits were rife that the
body of little Irene bad been found
in the same lake, but this was untrue.
It has not been discovered. As Cor
oner Bobbitt eayp, the shooting of
Saturday night has almost blotted
this feature of the appalling tragedy
out of mind. The lake is being
drained today. An attempt was made
to see Hawes' new wife, Miss Mai-
Starry, but she had returned t -
lumbus, Miss , Saturday morning fort
unately in time to escape all theee
subsequent horrors. The1 last words
she said to a relative who went home
with her were: "Ob, my God, uncle,
all this will kill me, I cannot stand if,
I cannot stand it!'' She is a lovely
girl about twenty years of age. There
were wild rumors about the streets
last night that a special train contain
ing five hundred armed Mississip-
pians would reach this city about 3
o'clock this morning but they did cot
come. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineerp, of which Hawes is
a member, have telegraphed that
they -have engaged a detective to
work up the case. They believe that
Hawes is innocent' and that a col
ored woman named Fannie Bryant
and Albert Patterson murdered and
robbed Mrs. Hawes and killed the
children.
HAWKS SAID TO HAVB COSFf S3ID.
BiBMrsaHAM, Ala , Dec. 10. It is
reported that Hawes, who has been
the cause of Saturday stt't ingj
edy, has made a full confession of the
crimes charged against him. Busi
ness is going on as usual today ex
cept that all the Baloons are closed
by order of Col. Jones, commanding
the troops, and the only evidence of
the trouble remaining is the line of
troops and cannon guarding every
approach to the jiil. There is still
much feeling, but it is subdued. No
matter who was right or who was
wrong in the tragedy of Saturday,
that terrible volley has settled all de
sire of the mob to break down the
jil. They will not try it again.
Sheriff smith is still in jail under ar
rest for murder, and Chief Police
Picard as raleased on $10,000 bond
this morning. Smith may leave the
city under military escort until a full
examination of the case is made by
the coroner, but that has not been
fuljy determined as yet.
