HILt, EGERTOiYS TRIAL BEGINS uih paktngu i.i:i; givi:s MIS TFBT1310NY, Clialrmnit WIIhoii Anxious lo Have a Quick (seiileiueul ofllie UneNiion-The Hill Introduced Iu tbe House. Washington, Dec. ID. "The American people, after the fullest and moat thor ough debate ever given by any people to their fiscal policy, have deliberately and rightly decider! that the existing tariff is wronrj in principle and grievously unjust In operation." Such is the opening paragraph of the majority report today, submitted by the Democratic members of the Ways and Means committee. The full committee report was written by Chairman Wilson. It was laid by him belore his Demo cratic associates last night and received their cordial approbation. Continuing, the report says: Thev have decided, as free men must always decide, that the power of taxa tion lias no lawful or constitutienal exercise except for providing revenue for the support of the government. Every departure from this principle is a depart ure Irom tbe fundamental principles of popular institutions and inevitably works out a gross inequality amonn the citizens of the country. For more than 30 years we have levied the largest p irt of our Federal taxes in violation of this vital truth until wc have reached the existing tariff extreme and a voluminous system ol class taxation to which history may tie cnanenueet to lurnis h any nar. illel. So many private cntcrnnscs have been taken into partnership with the government; s-o many private interests now share in the prcrountive of taxinir seventy millions of people, that any at- 4a.-. . . ,!:... l -i :u , ; impi in uiasunt tins iiiegui unun is necessarily encountered by opposition tlvit rallies behind it the intolerance of monopoly, the power of concentrated wealth, the inertia ol fixed habits, and the honest errors of a generation ot false teaching. 1 he report explains the treneral scheme of the bill as prepared by the majority, mo says: Iron and coal are the bais of modern industry. The abundance ind cheapness ol their suoplv oiler us in many lines of productions the manufac turing supremacy of the world. While the mines ot other countries arc becom ing exhausted and the the cost of mining in constqiience is increasing, we are constantly- Discovering aud developing new sources of supply. Th.- discovery of im mense beds if bes'cnu r ores in the lake ion and ot foundry ores in several ol the Sotii hern States, their convenience for transportation and tor the assftn- ilago of materials, the use of the steam shovel in mining all these have so cheapened the cost of producing pig iron aun steel as to take a wav all p jssilnhtv ind dancer ul foicimi competition in al most every part of tuccountry. Not less auul has been the growth of our coal production. The coal area of the United States, as stated by Mr. Sew I'd in a rc- icw of the c ial trade for 1893. is esti mated at 11)2,(100 square miles, of which jo.uiki can be comfortably worked at present. This coal area is over three linns larger than that of the rest of the world combined. The existing duty ol 5 cents a ton on iron ore aud on bitu minous coal cannot be justified either as i protective or as a revenue duty. I he importations into this country are too small to adtl materially to our revenue, wiuie no one contends that the cost of mining is higher in the I'nited Statc9 than in countries that might peek our markets. It could never have been in tended that the constitution which cs- lbiisbes peif'cct freedom of infernal trade anioni; the States should counten ance laws that hold only one section of the union." It is the purpose of the Democratic majority to limit the debate on the tariff bill in the Houe to the fewest number of days consistent with a full discussion on the sul ject. It is the desire of Chairman Wilson lo reach debate under the live minute rule within two weeks alter the bill is called up. If the time of the regu lar sessions be too limited to accommo dat all lieiitlemcn who may wish to peak, the length of the daiiv session will be extended two hours. This will result in the House coming together at 11 o clock and cxier.duii; the legislative day until six o'clock in the evening. If necessary, night sessions will be hnd, but a fortnight will cover the entire period of time in which the bill may be generally discussed. I lie bill will be called up by Chairman Wilson the first day of the ses sion atter the holiday recess. Tbe Hlarnes Fire In Attlicvllle fsuitieetited Hchrme-Insurance Taken Out Before lite l-'lre UIk Array of Counse l. HKNDERSOSVILLli, N. C, DtC. 10. Special.. The trial of Dr. J. b. Kgerton, charged with a conspiracy to burn a building here, began today before Mag istrates (J. C. Jordan, II. V. Gash and J. P. Patton. Magistrate Patton was summoned by telephone from Paint Rock. Plato I.ce a partner of licrton, testi fied that IZccrton intimate. i liic morning after the i.tarncs fire in Ashcville that it would be a fine thing if a similar mishap happened to the firm as it could not mvit the debts of $50 or .$00 it was owing. Kgerton proposed that Lee burn the store by spreading kerosene and turpen tine about Christmas, when fireworks would be the supposed cause. Lee testi fied that he supposed it to be a juke till an insurance ol $2 750 was taken out. Then he informed the authorities. Lee was on the stand tili rece-s. Dr. Eaerton's prominence and all the ciictim stance 8 havecreated great interest in the case and the court room was packed with spectators. A large number of witnesses have been subpuned anil the trial will last tomorrow. I II. Merri mon of Ashcville is Egirton's counsel Associate counsel: . U. Posey, S. N Pickens, T. J. kickmnu and A V.

In the Senate yesterday the reading of the lcsi dent's Hawaiian message occupied about 40 minutes. Then Chandler called for tin reading of the instructions to Mr. Wil lis. The first of these instructions pre sented to be read were those of Cicshani to Mr. Willis, dated October 18. They arc marked ''Confidential," and state th.it they ate "supplemental to general instructions which he bail re ceived in reference to his r lllcial duties." before the clerk had j'ot any further the reading was interrupted bv Iiutler, who objected to the time of the Senate being wasted, as the papers would be all printed tomorrow. Voorhees took the same view and argued ngi:inst having garbled excepts from documents they sho'dd read all or none, he said. Mr. Harris said that it was the universal rule of the Senate that messages from t he President were always read and that "accompanying documents" were al ways referred to a committee with the message. A motion to print the message and ac companying documents and refer them to the committee on foreign relations was made by Iiutler. An animated dis cussion on the points ensued, and was continued today. UIG "TRIKi; KMIKII. ;et IT WAS UtlLWAY MONEY. The Birltcf-rN (ilarl To bate oti it cut. Pkoviuknck, K. I., Dec. 19. The big strike at OIneyvillc, the one at Central Falls, which was allied with one at Ol neyvilie, and an incipient one under taken at the British Hosiery works, in Thornton, near Olneyvillc, all cnllapstd yesterday. The strike at Olnc villi- in volved 5.000 people, t be one at Central halls 00 people, and that at 1 hornton 300. The big strike at I llnrv ville lasted ten weeks and people have sullereil great privation during the past live weeks, many of them being without fuel or money. The (llnevville stiikcrs have gained concessions from the manufacturers amounting to Ci1. tier cent, a rebate from the original cut of more than U0 percent. These concessions were made two weeks ago, but etc refused as in sufficient, the strikers hoping to gain more. Dut the depletion of their o.vn trcasurv forced the strikers to submit to terms they relused a fortnight ago.

The toe of a shoe scuffs a line in tl e s ift earth within easy toss of a house, wall or fence and tbe grune of "pitchin' tags" opens up between kids in knee breeches who play till the loser goes broke or the lucky one collars all the tags in sight.
