oontrary to law exsmptlog laborers
from tbe olsBSIflad eervloe.
The first phase of tha tariff In the
senate made Its appearaooe In a senate
resolution by Allen, declaring tariff
taxes on articles of dal.y consumption
should not ba laid so as to snrlob one
olass at tba expense of the masses.

Csntral Paolfio railroad Indebtedness
to tbe government. The rest of tks

Early In the day Oaffey, of Louisiana,
seoarsd Immediate consideration for a
jilut resolution maklog Immediately

New England too high?" asked
Hopkins (R*p ) of Illinois.
MoOell at first evaded a dlreot re-
ply. Then, turning defiantly to Hop
kins, said: "I do not hesitate to say
I think these duties oould be redaoed
wltbout detriment either to the wool
growers or wool msnafao'arers.”
Lovering (Rep ) of Massachusetts, a
large maDufr.otursr, followed MoOall’s
lead declaring the manufacturers of
New Eagland did uot want the dotlee
In the cotton and wool sohednlealn
bill, neither oompensstory nor straight
datlss. Hs said: "We do not want to
be strangled with free trade, neither do
we want to be smothered with protec-
tion.”

In tbe coarse of his remarks, that
Layering, who Is a ootton manufac-
turer, had asked for looreaaed tariff

Tbe House.
Washington, Marob 29—This was
the most exolttng day the house has
witnessed slnoe tbe tariff debate be
gan. The proceedings throughout
wars of a lively order, and several
times bordered on the sensational
Democrats blocked proceedings In tbe
first Instanoe by demanding the pres
enos of a quorum before allowing any
legislative work
Shafrotb, silver Republican of Go
orado, Inveighed against tbs obstruc-
tion, declaring that the failure of the
tariff bill In tbs bouse or senate would
be tbe moat disastrous blow that
oould be slruok at silver. The tariff
bill should be passed end tbe Issne
oiearly drawn between gold and ell
ver.
Johnson, Rspubllosn of Iodlana,
snlsrsd an exceedingly vigorous pro-
test against tbe Irreverent dlsonssloos
with whtoh tbe time of tbe house was
being taken up, aod after Sherman of
New York, who wai In tbs obatr, had
ruled him outi of order hs oontlnnsd
to protest. Than the ohslr ordered
him to take his seat, and twenty times
thelrlata Indianan was admonished to
take his seat, but hs kept np bis da
fienoe. dnddeoly tbe doors burst
open and the large form of the speak
sr osms Into view. His face was flash
td. As hs Bppsarsd on the sosne,
Johnson qulokly dropped down Into
bis seat. Johnson made no explana-
tion of his aotton.
Bland wanted fifteen minutes to

Barlow, Democrat of California, moved
that all debate ba denied aod “we olose

Bland wedged In several five minutes
free sliver speeches on various amend
meats, thereby making a sort of oon
tinned speech.

Ballsy Intimated Dsmoorets would

If they were permitted to off.r two
amendments. Ooe of these was In re
gard to e differential duty ou sugar and
another aimed, as Bailey said, at tbe
steel rail trust. Dlogley refused to
agree to such a proposition
Bailey objected to oonelderatlon of
tbe amendment end wee sustained.

Got. to tbe Emperor,
Washington, Maroh 29—The seors
tary of tbs trsasnry Is In rsoslpt of
Information from the Ualtsd States
minister at Atokay to the effeot that
duriog ths present session of the Jap-
anese diet the government oolnage bill
will be presented for tbe consideration
of that body, wbloh will, If passed,
ohange the standard of valne In Japan
from silver to gold. It Is proposed to
fix the government ratio between the
two metals at thirty-two to one.
Tbe nntt valne wilt be the gold yen,
wbloh will be one half the weight add
valne of the old Japanese gold yen,
wbioh la tbs same weight and floe
ness as the gold dollar of tbe United
States. Tbe proposed unit of value
will, therefore, ba the exaot equivalent
of fifty cents In United States money
and approximately of the same value
as the present antt valne In Japan of
tbe ellver yen, which, at tbe ourrent
rate of exohange, Is worth abont 51
osnts United States money.
It Is proposed the smallest coin
minted ehall be a five yen pieoe. Far
tber oolnage of stiver will be limited
to snbsldlary oolns. The stiver yen
now to olroalatlon will be maintained
at par with the gold yen by tbe gov-
ernment being prepared to redeem
them In gold whenever oalled upon to
do so. In this oonnectlon the follow-
ing statement Is mads at tbs treasury
department:
“It Is Important to note there are
about oae hundred and forty millions
1—^Japanese slivsr yen In olroalatlon, of
wbloh It Is estimated about seventy
millions are In olroalatlon as money lo
O ilos, and Eigllsh and Frsnoh orio
nlss and settlements In the east.
Shonld tbe ratio between gold Bad
sliver brooms greater than on* to
thirty two the tendency wonld seem to
be to drive outstanding silver coin
back toJapan for redemption.
“The Vernacular pre.s reports oonsl
derabl* dissatisfaction amoug com
merolal aod manufacturing classes
with tbe proposed change of standard
and It Is reports 1 the Ootton Spinners
association have prepared a protest
against It to present to tbe diet.
Those Interested In manufaotnrlng In
Japan are at present v«ry prosperous
and satisfied with ths returns their In
vestlmsnts are hrloglog. They are
naturally, as a olass, not dlsp: s.d to
view favorably tbe proposed ohange,
the effeot of which upon their Interests
they have no means of determining
beforehand. It Is generally believed,
however, that tbe government bill will,
In perhaps a modified form, beooms a
law
“It is supposed the principal objeo'
of the government in brlnglcg about a
ohange Is to enable It, should the
measure beooms necessary or expedi-
ent, to negotiate a loan In Earope on
better terms than will be possible, as
they believe, If Japan remained on a
silver basis.”
The Information given above oame
to the treasury deportment Saturday,
but tbs Associated Press cable dls-
patohes have contained news later
than that of tbe department snd stat
ed that tbe bill bed passed through
both houses and had been seat to the
emperor for approval.

London, Maroh 29-Replying tova
rlous questions In tbe boas# of com-
mons today regarding tha Cretan
situation, parliamentary seoretary for
the foreign offloe, Oarzon, said tha
best answers to them were oontalned
In tbe dispatches from the Brlttst ad
mlral In Cretan waters, which he read.
After rsotting koown Inotdenta of ths
attack and oaptnre of Malaxa and ths
svaoustlon of the blook boas*, wbloh
the admiral say* were due to two can-
non served by Greek troops being op-
erated against It, out of eight of the
ships, the dispatches continue:
“Owing to repeated attaoka of ths
insurgents who had a cannon on ths
oatpoBts commanding Oanaa, ths ad-
miral dsoldsd It was ueosssary to treat
the Insurgents as an enemy and demand
troops from tbslr raspsotlv* govern-
ments before long, as In order to
efficiently protect the town In tbelr
charge, farther edvano* of the Insur-
gents must be stopped.
“Greatest alarm prevails In that
town, where famine and disease are
already threatening the ref ogees.
"Ooi. Vesios, who is reported to
have reoelvsd the admiral’s nltlmatnm,
replied by ordering the oaptnre of the
blook house.”
Under date of Sunday the British
admiral tslsgraphed: “The Insurgents
are following tbelr suooesses by d*
veloplog an attack upon a strong
earth fort held by the Turks bsbtnd
Suds Bay point.
"Ths general situation Is that Ool
Vassos has deolared open war against
the great powers.”
Whits Oarzon was reading tbe ad
mtral'e dispatches Irish members load
ly cheered every referenoe to lneargent
suooesses and laoghed and Inter jsotsd
"Ohs” aod "Shame” whenever bs
spoke of repressive measures, whlob
were loudly cheered on the ministerial
side of tha house.
John G. S. MaoNell, anti Parnalllts,
in connection with the statement that
Ool. Vassos bad deolared war against
the powers, cried, "May he suooeed.”
Timothy Healy exclaimed, “Bravo
Vassos."___
An Exit a irdinary CommlMloo.
London, Maroh 29 — The April Issue
of the National Ravlew oontalns
statement It received private Informa-
tion from Washington that President
McKinley Intends to appoint bimetal-
lic commissioners as extraordinary
dlplomatlo agents In order to be able
to officially negotiate with tbe heads
of governments. The Review adds
"For obvious reasons Preeldent Mo
Klnley does not oar* to have this faot
generally known aa he fears politicians
would clamor for the appointment of
their supporters. He Intends to selsot
at least three, possibly five, men of tbe
highest position.”
Washington, March 29—From oare
ful Inquiry In official olroles here It
appears that any statement that the
president has determined to appoint
speolally aooredlted commissioners to
undertake negotiations abroad with
foreign powers In fnrthsranos of bl
mltailsm Is at least premature. Bo far
It Is said the president bee been an
able to give eerlons attention to tbe
flaenolal eubjaot, and there le no ree
eoo to suppose he bae ohanged hie
wall defined plan of Insisting upon de-
ferring consideration of all other
questions until tbe ohenges neoeesary
to be made In the tariff ere effeoted.

latest reports are to the effeot that
wafer Is pou lcg through a orevass*
500 yards In width with tremendous
force. But tbe most startling news
reached Memphis at 6 o’clock last
evening.
A telegram from Perthshire, 48
miles norih of Greenville, and Imme-
diately at the head of the Yezco delta,
states a break ooourred In tbe main
levee there. Just how serious, the
telegram does not state, bat several
trains loaded with laborers aod aeox*
of sand have been hurriedly dlspatob-
ed to the tosne.
If the break at Perthshire sesames
anything Ilka tbe proportions of tbe
orevasse a'. Wayside, tbe destrnotlon
will be enormous. Tbe waters will
sweep over tbe rloh farm lands of
Bolivar, Washington, Sharkey, Isae
quene, Warren, Y*z o and Suofliwer
o. unties In Mississippi, aod tbs loas of
stock end property will be appalling.
Ten thousand men line the levees

Ths report gives the circumstances

ment of bonds Issued to suable them
lo build these railroad* there was pro-
vided In the charters a distinct and
separata Hen npon all their property

Ths statute provides for forfeiture
on defanlt of payment and transfers

the United States.
Tbe government Is thus substituted
In absolute aod uaoondltlonal owner-
ship of tho oorporato property of every
kind In plaoo of tho stookholdors,
whoso ownership i hereupon oeasos.
Tho roport adds:
“Tho United States oan no more af-
ford to have this groat highway pass
beyond Its roaoh than Groat Britain
oould afford to have tha Canadian Pa-
otflo railroad, whloh In a military
sense, is tho sptaal column of tho em-
pire, pass into tbe hands of tho Amor-
loan government.”
