WOOL TARIFF TALK
Special to the Gazette
Washington Jan 11 Thirteen dele
eates from the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers met thi3 morning to
confer with a committee of five members
each of the Woolgrowers and Wooldeal
ers Associations These committees were
Appointed at the Growers and Dealers
Convention held here last December to
meet delegates from the Manufacturers
Association and formulate some course
of action looking to tariff legislation that
would be advantageous to the three wool
interests This will be hard to do for
as one delegate said today the manufac-
turers want wool on the free list and a
tariff on minufactured goods or even
higher on worsted goods while the
growers want the tariff to remain on the
raw material or else removed from both
the raw and the manufactured products
and a there are ahuudred growers to one
manufacturer they can knock the man-
ufacturers higher than a kite What the
manufacturers want was explained by
Acting Secretary J W Ballison of the
Manufacturers Association who said this
afternoouy We are not advocating any
reduction m the present tariff nor is this
conference the result of the Presidents
message It is not of the law the wool
growers have cause to complaiD but of
the misconstruction placed upon the law
They suffer much more f om these udjus
constructions than from the law
When asked what action was contem-
plated by the conference and whether
such action when taken would be binding
on the wool trader he said they were
here merely to g ook over the ground bni
that the wool men always stood by any
action they took and any action taken h re
will be final Mr Allison said the wrol
manufacturing industries of the couutry
represented 300000000 crpifc 1 Trie
wool growers represented about 400
020000 invested but the character oi tse
investment is euch that the capital cm
MJ HJ converted into some other business

sists of William Lawrence of Ohio E A
Sneppard cf Texas president of the state
association Hun John McDowell cf
Pennsylvania Hon George L Converse
of Ohio and G H Wallace of Missouri
president of the state association The
conference will probably last several
days and its expression of opinion oa
the wool tariff will be watched with in-
terest by politicians of all parties
COKtt ON THK IJLAIR JILL
Specla to ihe Gazette
Washington Jin 11 Sector Coke
made s most powerful and logical speech
against the Bair bill sui passing even his
formerly mister arguments against this
measure lie contended that the bill was
not only violative of the Constitution but
that it was impolitic and unwise and would
eventually do great damage to the cause of
popular education The atatea alone
were chargeable wiah the duty of pro-
viding instruction and when the na-
tional government undertook to do this
it went beyond its scope and meddled
with what ifc had no concern Depend-
ing solely upon themselves the states
wexe causing illiteracy to disap-
pear and in the old slive
states the progress of education had
challenged the admiration of the whole
country Congress could donate lands
because the Constitution gave it unre-
stricted power to do whatever it willed
with the public lands but there was no
authority to thus dispose of the money
wrung by taxation from the peo-
ple It was a scheme to reduce the
surplus revenues and thus fasten
on the coantry the robber tariff systeru
It would cause the various states to re-
lax their own efforts and rely entirely
upon national support It would foment
lace troubles in the south through a sys-
tem of mixid schools From every point
of view the measure was fraught with
dfllcuties aid dangers and would be
opposed by the speaker to the last

El Paso Tkx Jan 11 The Mexican
Central passerger train due here this
morning was held up last night about 303
miles south of here by a band of robbers
The train had stopped at a watering place
t the base of the mountains and
just as the engineer was about to open
ihe throttle valve eight men suddenly
made their appearance out of a piece of
woods skirting the track Two of them
covered the engineer and fireman with
tfteir revolvers and two others proceeded
to the express car and the balance sta-
tioned thtmtelvps at the door of the
coaches and lerriisd the passengers so
ccmpleteiv that no tffjrt wa3 made to
save the cxprees agent who in defeDdiDg
tae valuable property in his crr was being
roughly handled The robbtra were
said to hve been Americans and were
armed to tha teeth The7 finally
succeeded In quieting the express agent
and secured a considerable sum of money
Qaite a large quantity of silver was stored
in a corner of the csr and the robbers un-
dertook to carry it along but owing to
its great weight they left it behind So
far as learned no prsfengers were mal-
treated and having deliberately secured
their booty they took to the mountains
disappearing as suddenly as they had
come upon the scene As yet the details
of the robbery are very meagre though
we are assured there were no casualties3
The whole transaction did not occupy
three minutes and those of the train were
so completely surprised that no attempt
at defense was made
THK MESSENGERS TALE
Special to the Gazette
El Paso Tex Jan 11 Express Mes-
senger Cooper who was on the Mexican
Central passenger train that was robbed
last night at Mapula twelve miles south
of Chiauhaua and 250 miles from El Pas
arri7ed here today and gives the follow-
ing account of the affair
It was about dusk and I was sitting
beside the stove in the express car The
train was stopped and soon I heard a
scuill but supposed the conductor was
hurrying the poor Mexicans on the train
Then the conductor rapped at the express
car door and asked me to open ft I
suspected nothirg wrong and complied
I looked to one side and
saw a Winchester The conductor
was covered and the men were
guarding the train Cooper says there
were seven men four on one side of the
train and two on the other and one on
the engine He says they were negroes
Tney got344 In Mexican silver They wore
no masks Hs thought they werepsinted
Cooper saved 5000 for the Wells Fargo
Co and says If he had known
what was up he could have
stood the men off with his
Winchester and that a number of Mexi-
cans also would hava helped him He
says the tone of the men while in the ex-
press car was friendly
Yoa are making a bad brenk to hold-
up this train There is nothing on it
said Cooper
We know it was the reply but we
arrived here last night just in time to see-
the tratn pull out
The first train had considerable money
on It The negroes who did the wore arc
said to be known They passed through
El Paso southbound about a week ago
and a hold up has been expected said a
railroadman for some days but not in
the locality where It occurred It was
expected between El Paso and Chihua-
hua
This Is the second time the Mexican
Central passenger train has been heid up
Three thousand Mexican soldiers have
completely surrounded Mapula
