Utah had supported unequivocal decla
rations In national conventions against
a protective tariff.
Mills then turned his attention to the
daughters of millionaires, "fatted like
heifers," and sent abroad in quest of
titles. When the vast fortunes had been
built up by unjust taxation, then, he
•aid, these daughters were "put on the
market, hawked and peddled, sold for
princesses, and duchesses, and count
esses, and marchionesses, and other
'esses,' and here was congress legislating
the money to pay for these trips abroad.
If the American people accepted this
condition, then they were not worthy of
self government."
Then Mills gave tables showing the
vast fortunes of a few Individuals who
were, he said, to receive the benefits of
thl3 bill. After reviewing many state
and national Democratic platforms,
Mills declared that a man could not"be a
Democrat who did not support the doc
trine that a tariff must be limited to
revenue only. But a new doctrine of
Democracy was now proclaimed, Invlt
• lag Democratic senators into the camp
of the enemy to sing hosaniias to the
monstrous bounties of thir bill. But,
fortunately, the senator said, there was
no Ellsha here to Einlte the Democrats
with such blindness.
Mills closed with an ominous predic
tion that the abandonment of Demo
cratic simplicity would bring forth out of
the dark some historian to write the
chapter on the "decline and fall of the
great American republic."
The senate amendment was agreed to
striking out the house provision on tap
ioca, paragraph (232 and 233) placing a
duty on wheat at 25 cents per bushel,
and on wheat flour at 25 per cent ad va
lorem; rejected, yeas 15, nays 35.5
Four Democrats, Bacon, McEnery,
McLaurin and Tillman, and two Pop
ulists, Alien and Heltfield, voted with
the Republicans in the negative.
The paragraphs on wheat and wheat
flour were ther. agreed to.
Cannon of Utah offered a new amend
ment proposing an export bounty on
agricultural products. The text of the
amendment has been heretofore given.
Cannon took the floor, but yielded a
moment to allow Thurston of Nebraska
to present what he termed some evi
dences of "returning prosperity" in the
shape of some editorials from Nebraska
newspapers showing a general revival
of business.
"Is not the Wilson tariff law still on
the statute books?" asked Gray.
"It is, but it is the expectation of the
passage of the pending measure," re
piled Thurston, "which is causing thla
revival."
At this point Berry of Arkansas aske.l
to have read a statement recently made
by ex-Postmaster-General Wanamaker
about the deplorable condition of af
alrs.
Cannon objected, saying, amidst
laughter, that it would be cruel, inhu
man and unjustifiable to have Wana
maker's statement injected at this
point of the proceedings.
Lindsay of Kentucky called attention
to the money voted by congress and the
legislature of Nebraska for the Omaha
exposition and that this returning pros
perity was coincident with its expend
iture.
After some further cross-firing. Can
non proceeded with his speech. He de
nounced the pending measure as gross
ly and palpably inequitable, because it
compelled the sale of the products of the
soil In' the lowest market of the world
and the purchase of manufactured arti
cles ln the highest market. To the orig
inal doctrine, which contemplated the
protection of manufacturers, he still
subscribed. The troubta was that ag
riculture, which at the beginning was
ready to support the manufacturers
struggling for existence, had fallen far
ln the rear
The only ground upon which the doc
trine of protection could stand was thut
It protected the labor of this country
from the wolfish pauper labor of the
world But how could any one conten 3
for protection to the labor of the shops
and deny it to the labor of the field?
The farmer competed with the world. Tf
this bill was not just the country would
be plunged again next year Into th-?
agony of a tariff agitation. If It was
Ju3t it might endure.
In answer to a question of Allen, Can
non said the amount to be paid by ths
government ln export bounty under his
amendment would be $47,944,580. He
argued that the American farmer was
obliged to sell his wool and cotton at the
low prices prevailing in free trade coun
tries of the world while he bought hid
supplies at the high rates of a protected
market.
Cannon was followed by Butler of
North Carolina, who spoke against the
heavy burdens the bill will place on the
farmer.
He favored Cannon's proposition as a
measure that would correct tfie Ine
qualities of the tariff bill, whleh bore
heavily on the farmer and gave him
none of the benefits of protection.
At 5:20 p. m. the bill was laid aside
and, after agreeing to meet at 11 a. m
tomorrow, the senate held an executive
session and then adjourned.
IN COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, June 9.—The senate
committee on finance has agreed upor.
a number of additional amendments to
the agricultural schedule, the most im
portant of them relating to fis-h. Thi
house rate of one cent per pound on
edible berries, which the committee orig
inally struck out.«is. restored andi cran
berries are specifically added at 25 per
cent ad valorem The rate on chicory
root was fixed at 24 cents per pound,
the present rate being 3 cents and the
original finance committee rale 2 cents
There are several propositions under
consideration by the committee rela
tive to the Hawaiian treaty. They In
clude the Indorsement of the Davis
amendment for continuing- the presen'
treaty in force without reservation; n
suggestion to the prc-sident that a new
treaty should be negr>tiated. modifying
the terms of the existing agreement so
as to render them'less partial to Hawaii,
and also a proposition looking to the
giving of a year's notice to Hawaii cf
the abrogation of the present treaty
This latter proposition is said to orig
inate with Senator AMrlch', and is an
tagonized by the especia! champions of
Hawaii.
The opinion Is freely expressed by
senators that the question of annexa
tion will he taken up by the administra
tion as soon as the tariff bill is passed.

AN EXPERT'S OPINION
FIGEL'S RECEIPT PRONOUNCED
A FORGERY
Hoffman's Bookkeeper Has Not Yet
Been Arrested, But Is Likely
to Be Soon
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-The at
torneys for Hoffman, Rothschild & Co.,
who assert that Isaac Hoffman .was
murdered, have engaged among other
experts the noted judge of handwriting,
Daniel T. Ames, and he has given a
written opinion that the signature of
Isaac Hoffman on a receipt for $9500,
which le an important document in the
case, was forged. The receipt other
than the signature, was written by the
bookkeeper, Theodore A. Figel, as he
himself has admitted. The expert has re
ported that he found similarities be
tween the character of this sample of
Figel's writing and the disputed signa
ture attached to it.
Attorney Ach expressed the opinion
to Chief of Police Lees that Figel should
be arrested for alleged embeizlement,
but the Chief did not think he would be
justified in proceeding to that extremity
on the facts presented to him. When
Mr. Rothschild, the New York member
of the firm, arrives In ffils city, this week.
Ach cays he will advise him to have
Figel arrested.
In order to meet the point made by
Ach that there is no blood on the grip
of the-.pistol with which Hoffman was
killed, Chief Lees, after a close exami
nation, has discovered several smai
stains upon the guard of the trigger,
rhlch, he saye, may have been caused
by blood.
While no pjeps have been taken to ar
rest Theodore A. Figel as yet, in connec
tion with the mysterious death of Isaac
Hoffman, his employer, it Is understood
that on. the arrival of Edward Roth
child of New York, who Is now on his
way here, Attorney Ach will advise that
member of the firm to have Figel ar
rested upon the charge of embezzlement
at least. Ach claims to have further
evidence of defalcations on Figel's part,
but in spite of his direct accusations he
has not yet seen fit to swear to a com
plaint against the bookkeeper himself.
A MINING DEAL
Brings Two Experts Into the Criminal
Court
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.—Mining
men are discussing the strange stories
which come down from Hawthorne,
Nev., about the arrest for house break
ing of mining experts Hague and Alex
ander Womble. They have been held to
answer, were released on bonds and
their trial set for July 7th.
Behind the arrest is a story of the
famous silver Peak mine, located about
110 miles from Hawthorne. Long ago
the mine came into the possession of
John I. Blair, a New York millionaire,
who shut it down. Four years ago
L. J. Hanchette, father of Mrs. George
Crocker, got at Blair through D. O.
Mills and secured from him a bond or
the mine with permission to work it
and pay $750,000 at the end of a certain
time. He pfedged himself to spend
$200,000 In erecting mills and making
Improvement*and with L. c. Hanchette
his son, has since been developing anc
working the property.
Blair is 96 years old and had to retire
from his business because of mental
incapacity. The Hanchettes say tha:
when they offered Blair's family the
$750,000 purchase price it was refused
and a suit was begun over the matter
a month or two ago.
Now the Hanchettes charge that in
heir abeence experts Hague and Womble
went to the mine with a force of mer.
overpowered the watchmen, broke into
the tunnels and mine house and secured
a report on the mines which the Han
chettes never would have permitted them
to have. This report is supposed to
have been for certain millionaires de
sirous of securing control of the prop
erty.
The elder Hanchette heard of the raid,
hastened to Hawthorne and when the ex
perts returned there had them arrested
There will be a big legal fight over the
affair, eminent counsel having been de
tained.
Oriental Notes
VANCOUVER. 8.C., June 9.—The steam
ship Empress of Japan today brought the
following advices from the Orient:
Rumors are in circulation in Pekin and
Shanghai that the Chinese government Is
anxious to get rid of the Japanese garrison
at Wei He! Wei, and has deckled to nego
tiate another loan to raise sufficent money
to pay off the war indemnity at once.
Mr. Wolfe, a German traveler, who re
cently visited Chang Sha, In the anti-for

Australian coal will be imported by Japan.
The Mining Men
DENVER, Col., June 9.—Word has
been received at the headquarters of the
Gold Mining convention that Charles D.
Lane, the mining railroad millionaire of
California, will attend the convention,
and will bring with him an excursion
party of 300 from the Golden state. It Is
undoubtedly the intention of Mr. Lane
to capture the next mining convention
for San Francisco, whereas Salt Lake
City has promised a representation of
200 persons, and was inclined to believe
that it would be chosen.

Who Beat Women Is Expected

Associated Press Special Wire.
PARIS, June 9.—A1l Paris is talking
tonight of a duel with swords fought
this afternoon between two members of
the old nobility, Count Robert de Mont
esquoin and Henri de Regnier, at Neu
llly le Valois, growing out of a remark
made by Mile. Heredla, the sister-ln-law
of Regnier a few days ago In the salon of
the Baroness Alphone de Rothschild.
Mile. Heredia, who was with her sister,
Mme. Regnier, turned the conversation
to a handsome cane carried by the Count
de Montesqudin, who stood near her,
and remarked it was just the sort of cane
that might have been used at the char
ity bazaar fire to beat the ladles. The
count, who overheard the remark. In
terpreted it as an Insinuation of coward
ly conduct on his part toward women at
the fire. Immediately withdrawing from
the salon, he sent a challenge to M. De
Regnier, who was escorting his wife and
sister-in-law, and at midnight his sec
onds were appointed and preliminaries
for the duel arranged. On consideration
the seconds of De Regnier submitted to
the count's seconds that the remark
was one of mere banter, upon ivhich the
count ought not to place so serious a
construction and urged that the matter
be arbitrated. The Count de Montes
quoin thereupon twitted De Regnier
with being afraid to meet him and
branded him through the newspapers as
a coward. This resulted tn a challenge
from De Regnier, after three days spent
in the discussion of conflicting state
ments as to the precise words used by
Mile. Heradia and Mme. De Regnier,
who had echoed her sister's remarks.
The Count de Montesquoin immediately
accepted the challenge. His seconds
were the Count Dion de Montesquoin
and Maurice Barries ,and M. De Reg
nler's were Henri Goussalc and Jean
Beraud.
The duel was fought ln the presence of
Georges Hugo and the artists, M. Form
and Caran d'Ache. The combatants at
tacked each other with the greatest
vigor and for ten minutes fought to kill.
In the third encounter the Count de
Montesquoin was severely wounded in
the back of the right hand. The sur
geons then interfered and refused to al
low the combat to proceed.
The combatants then withdrawing, de
clined even to bow to each other. The
affair has made a tremendous talk and
it may prove the first Incident in a gen
eral boycott socially of a number of men
who are persistently accused in certain
quarters of having displayed the rankest
cowardice at the charity bazaar fire.
M. De Regnier did not take his first les
son in fencing until after he had received
the challenge of the Count de Montes
quoin. He is a poet and a leader in the
decadent school of poetry. He spent the
whole morning in sorting his manu
scripts, which, after he had carefully
ocked them in boxes, he sent to his sec
retary for safe keeping.
This evening he called at the count's
residence, but it is not thought a reconc
iliation has been effected.
THE OLD STORY
The Gun Was Loaded, One Boy Is
Dead
NEW YORK, June 9.—The sons of
Clarence L. Nelson, Secretary of the
Newark Gas Company, fought a duel in
play at their home and as a result one
of the boys is dying from a bullet wound
in his left breast.
The boys, Clarence, 16 years old, an.l
Bertram, 14. decided to appear in a part
for the celebration on July 4. and went
to their rooms to clean and oil the two
revolvers which had been given them for
use on the holiday. They laid the weap
one aside after a short time and when
they picked them up to replace them in
the box, Bertram said to his eldet
brother, "Let's fight a. duel." Clarence
was delighted with the novel suggestion
and the lads, standing hack to back with
the revolvers by their sides, waited un
til Bertram counted "three" and the t
gravely took four paces in opposite di
rections.
" 'Bout face," called Clarence, and the
brothers turned on their heels, weapons
-xtended and smiling at each other as
ihey srjuinted' along the glistening bar
rels. Both hammers fell and from the
muzzle of Clarence's weapon shot a lit
tie line of fire. There was a report and
Bertram, clutching his chest, fell for
ward on the floor. Clarence was fright
ened and ran screaming down the stairs
and members of the family went to the
boys' playroom. A physician was
called and found that the bullet had en
tered Bertram's breast, penetrating thd
lung. He said the wound was fatal.
M'KINLEY'S POLICY
I Doesn't Like Bestrictions on Ameri
can Heat Products
WASHINGTON, June 9 —The admin
istration has outlined an important pol
icy to end, if possible, the controversies
between this government and Great
Britain, Germany and Belgium In re
gard to the exclusion of American cat
tle and dressed beef.
This policy contemplates the submis
sion of an earnest joint protest by the
diplomatic representatives of the United
States at London, Berlin and Paris and
Brussels, aiming at the revocation of
discriminatory regulations which these
nations have imposed' upon American
cattle and beef.
Before their departure for their re
spective posts, Ambassadors Hay, Por
ter and White received instructions to
confer with each other and with Bel
lamy Storer, the new Minister to Brus
sels, for the purpose of taking action in
the matter. Mr. Storer was at the State
Department yesterday receiving his flnal
instructions before he sails on Wednes
day next for his post in Belgium. Mr.
Storer'a Instructions contemplate the
recommencement of negotiations with
the Belgium government with a view to
securing a removal of restrictions now
imposed upon American cattle and beef.
In case the protest* made by the, four
diplomats named are now effective, re
taliatory measures may be adopted by
the United States ln the cases of all the
governments named.
Counterfeiters Confess
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9-Klttle
Rogers, the 17-year-old girl arrested with
her brother Monday night on a charge of
counterfeiting, has made a statement of
her knowledge of the case. She denies any
connection with the makng or passng of
the bogus con, but frankly srjys that she
helped her brother to escape, brother,
James F. Rogers, has also gtvm a complete
account of his career as a counterfeiter,
admitting that he was' the head and main
operator of the gang. He is exceedingly
bitter toward Stark, the first of the quar
tette who was captured, believing that It
was he who gave the officers Information
that led to the arrest of the others and the
capture of the outfit.
Stark appeared before United States
Commissioner Heacock today for examina
tion, and was bound over ln $4000 ball.
JAPAN GROWS MODEST
IN DEMANDS ON THE HAWAIIAN
GOVERNMENT
The Sugar Planters Tire of the Trust
and Threaten to Take Indepen
dent Action
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.—Advices
have just been received from Honolulu
per steamship Australia to the effect
that Japanese Minister Shimamura has
changed his attitude to some extent
since last advices from the Hawaiian
capital. After the departure of the
steamship Peru several conferences
were held between Ministers Cooper and
Shimamura with the result that the
Japanese representative made proposals
of a much more reasonable nature than
those which were first offered. Original
ly Japan demanded an indemnity for the
total number of immigrants turned
away from the islands, now, however,
it is understood that, she Is] willing to ac
cept damages only in such case* where
the immigrant was Illegally rejected.This
proposition the Hawaiian government
will accept. The original demand was
320.60 yen for each man refused landing.
The Hawaiian government admits that
among the thousand or more immi
grants a few errors may be made, and if
any such appear upon thorough investi
gation, expresses) a readiness to pay for
such mistakes upon the part of its offi
cials.
At the instance of R. P. Rtthet, a
wealthy ship owner of San Francisco,
the sugar planters, of the, Islandyepublie
are considering several propositions
tending toward Independent action and
throwing off the yoke of the sugar trust.
One, It is understood, is the establish
ment of a refinery at Vancouver, B. C,
in case the reciprocity treaty is abro
gated. The Canadian government Is
willing to grant a concession to Hawaii
in return for bu ness. and the Canadian
Pacific road will furnish special terms
for transportation to the Atlantic sea
board, should the scheme be carried out.
In any event, however, the planters are
resolved to fight the trust, and should
the treaty not be Interfered with it is
proposed to ship all sugar raised ln
Hawaii to New York or Philadelphia,
where it will be sold ln the open market
to the highest bidder.
If the Hawaiian output Is shipped
around the Horn the large sailing fleet
now plying between the Islands and San
Francisco will be withdrawn and an op
position line of steamers, backed by
Hawailans, substituted. It Is understood
that the cause of trouble between the
planters and the Spreckelscomblnels the
increased rate demanded by the latter
for hauling Hawaiian sugar, namely,
% of a cent per pound.
PEACE TERMS
Get the European Powers by the
Ears
LONDON, June 10.—The latest ad
vices from Constantinople deny that the
powers are avoiding direct negotiations
between Turkey and Greece. In othe
respects, however, the aspect of affairs Is
rather worEe than heretofore. It ap
pears that at Saturday's conference the
ambassadors declined to accept either
Assam Bey or Slam Bey as a Turkish
peace commissioner. This, together
with their refusal to discuss the reten
tion of Thessaly. threw the sultan Into
such a rage that he forthwith summoned
a meeting of the special commlcilon ap
pointed to consider terms of peace.
All day Sunday he was ln telegraphic
communication with most of the Euro
pean capitalists, and in the evening he
gave stringent orders to the grand vizier,
who immediately resigned.
The Turks are very angry at the al
leged brusque declaration of Sir Phil
lip Currie, the British ambassador, that
England will never permit Christians to
return to Turkish rule.
It is also stated that the German am
bassador Is very much disconcerted to
find Count Nelidoff, the Rusian ambas
sador, supporting Sir Philip Currie In
this respect.

Lots of Harmony
STOCKTON, June 9.—The meeting l of
the local Insurance agents this after
noon was marked' with harmony. A res
olution was* passed deferring the sign
ing of t<he proposed) agreement until
changes are made. The resolution does
i
not state what changes are wanted,
but it is stated' that nearly every clause
Is objectionable, particularly the one re
decing the commissions of agents from
20 to IS per cent. Two agents from Sac
ramento were present to assure the
Stockton men that If their agencies were
taken away from them they would re
align. Assurances to the same effect
were received from San Jose and Los
Angeles. Tomorrow' Is the day on
which the Insurance compact has re
solved to forfeit the appointment of all
agents In Stockton It the agreement is
net signed, and the agents say they are
waiting to see them carryooutt t their
threat.
