Continuation of the 'Former's Plea for the Protective System Points Made by Mr. Mills In His Reply Other Members Talk. SPEECH. WASHINGTON, May his speech on the tariff bill in the House Wednesday Mr. McKinley said that under the duties fixed by the bill the annual imports of $25,000,000 of agricultural products would be supplied to the people of the United States by American farmer rather than by the Canadian farmer, and that $25,000,000 distitbuted among the farmers would relieve some of the depression prevailing and give them confidence and courage and increased raise the mortgages upon their farms.
Mr. McKinley explained and defended the wool schedule and the paragraph in the metal schedule concerning tin plate. Referring to the growth of the carpot industry in the United States he said that the price of carpets had gone down while the ad valorem duty had gone up. It was the high ad valorem that gentlemen on the other side saw, while they shut their eyes to the diminished price. The committee would encourage foreign trade and sustain it; but what peculiar sanctity hung about the foreign market that did not attach to the domestic market? Was not the American consumer a better customer for the American manufacturer? Under the system of revenue tariff we bought more abroad than we sold and paid the balance in We gold, unhealtby stato of affairs.
were now exporting more products than at any time in our history. Our exports have increased 35 per cent. more than the exports from frec-trade Great Britain. While Great Britain had between 1870 and 1880 lost 13 per cent. of her commerce.
the United States had gained 22 per and, with the same aid to shipping that Great Britain gave, the ships of the United States would plow every sea under the American flag in successful competition with the ships of the world. On our Atlantic coast this year would be produced 100.000 tons of shipping, built by American workmen of American material. We bad enjoyed twenty-nine years of continuous protection--the longest period since the foundation of the Government--and found ourselves in greater prosperity than at any other time. In the arts and sciences, in wealth, in National honor we were at the front. In 1860, after fourteen years of revenue tariff, the country was in a state of depression.
We had neither moncy nor credit. We had both now. We had a surplus revenuc. Tho accumulations of the working classes bad increased; their deposits in suvings banks exceeded those of the working classes of any other country. These deposits told their own story.
The public debt of the United States per capita was less than that of any other Nation of the world. We lead all Nations! in agriculture and mining. Could any furnish evidence of perity? Yet men were found to talk about the restraints we put upon trade. The greatest good to the greatest number, tho groat opportunity for human endeavor, were the maxims upon which our protectivo system rested. At the conclusion of Mr.
McKinley's specch he was warmly congratulated personally by almost every Republican present, while the cry of "Vote," was heard all over the western side of the hall. MR. MILLS' REPLY. Mr. Mills of (Tex.) followed.
To check importation WaS to check exportation. Split bairs a8 you may, no man could show that W'o might sell without buying. When we refused to take the products of other nations, that refusal was an interdiction against our exports, and aS WO remored the barriers to free exchange we increased. our trade. Protection boiled down meant more work and less result, and carried out 1o its conclusion it meant all work and no result.
Pig-iron was the basis of all of our iron and steel manufactures. In 1871 wore rising, after a period of depression, and the imports of pig-iron were increasing. From 2,300,000 tons in 1570 the imports of pig-iron rose to 7,000,000 tons in 1873. If tho Republican doctrine was trite then every ton imported displaced a ton of American iron. But the figures showed that our domestic product rose from 52,000,000 tons in 1870 to 119,000,000 tons in 1ST2.
That showed conclusively that the Democratic position was right, that increased imports increased the demand for American labor. "Gentlemen on the other sido expressed sympathy for tho farmer and their zeal to relieve the distress which they at length acknowledged surrounded the agriculturist. Two years ago the Democrats stood here and declared that tho country was on the edge of a dark shadow. The Republicans had ridiculed this, and had said that the farm mortgager were only a further evidence of prosperity and wealth. The committee had found out that the wheat production was in danger and had increased the duty 50 per cent.
The United States exported 90,000,000 bushels of wheat a year, and last year it imported the startling amount of 1,946 bushels. The increased duty was to protect the American farmer against the pauper of India. Corn was to be protected. The United States last year exported 69,000,000 bushels of corn and imported bushels. The committee proposed to deliver the rye farmer from all peril.
It was going to speak words of comfort to him and tell him that he would not have to compete with pauper labor. How much rye did the United States import? Sixteen bushels. Some adventurous farmer bad bought this rye to improve his crop, and he was to be rebuked for this at the Capitol of bia Nation. The Ropublicats must do something more than this in order to fool the farmers. The farmers understood that they needed markets for their products.
This bill would almost stop exportation of agricultural products, and then the Republicans, Nebraska would hear cyclone. a storm worse The Democrats would not impede the passage of tho bill, but when the Republicans appear before the great ican people after passing this measure, may the Lord have mercy on their souls. At the evening session the tariff debate was resumed. Mr. O'Donnell (Mich.) spoke strongly In favor of the sugar section.
Mr. Post (Ill.) favored the bill and took occasion to speak for free coinage of silver. Messrs. Stewart (Ga.) and Ellis (Ky.) opposed the bill and then the House adjourned. WASHINGTON, May House yesterday, resumed Mr.
Dockery consideration (Mo.) took of the the floor. He said the burdens of taxation were readily borne by the people when imposed for logitimate purposes. The surplus might be reduced by increased taxes or by large appropriations, but tho burden. upon the people would remain. tariff debate of 1888 the Republicans ridiculed the idea of agricultural oppression, of which Mr.
McKinley spoke Wednesday. The chairman of the committee on agriculture at that time denied the mere idea of that condition of the farmer. Now they turn and speak of it a8 a fact that the country is not called upon to deal with the temporary condition. Since the panic of 1873 the tendency of the great West has been to decline, while now one may see in many places the sign: "Eastern Money to Loan on Improved Farms." In order apply the remedy the diagnosis must be correct. The Republican object is to place import duties at such high rate that foreign competition will be entirely shut out.
Mr. Dockery was answered briefly by Mr. Frank Mr. Burrows (Mich.) spoke of the views on the tariff held by the two parties, saying the Democrats favored revenue only and the Republicans revenue and protection. A HEARTLESS MOTHER.
She Tells How She Took the Life of Her Prattling Babe In Obedience to the Wishes of Her Lover. MARION, May the trial of John Sage, barged with the murder of Harry Cunningham, Eliza Sage, the divorced wife of the prisoner and the mother of the murdered child, was on the stand Wednesday. She testifed that for weeks Sage urged her to make away with the child; that ho told her that children were often put to sleep and never awoke. And 1f her child was thrown in the water it would never be found. June 18, 1882, he told her finally the child must be disposed of or he would never marry her.
They stood by the fence and the boy was rollicking in the grass at their feet. Sage went away, sho gathered the child in her arms and carried him 3 mile, threw him into the creek and hurried away. During her recital the witness showed no evidence of emotion except when she described the child's dress. He was barefooted and wore a sunbonnet, flannel underclothes, a little gingham dress and a little apron. During this part of her evidence Mrs.
Sago appeared on the verge of bursting into tears, but recovering herself sho continued to the end with a strong, settled look of utter despair. She gave hor age as 29 soars. The force of her testimony was not shaken on cross-examination. Mrs. Sage was sentenced to the penitentiary for life on being convicted of this crime a couple of years ago.
Her husband was also on trial. but was acquitted on the evidence of his wife, who swore that she alone committed the murder, and that Sage had no knowledge of the deed, whatever. After her incarceration Sage sought a divorce from her, desiring to marry, another. Angered at the man's perfidy, Mrs. Sage charged her husband with complicity in the crime, and he was arrested, placed on trial, the unfortunate woman being brought from prison in order to permit her to testify.

The New Movement Likely to Extend Throughout the Unlted States, with Pittsburgh As the Starting-Point -Cost of the Chicago Strike. THE MINERS NEXT. PITTSBURGH, May the next two weeks Pittsburgh is to become the center of another great labor movement, entire" will extend throughout the United States: It will involve about 75,000 coal miners and will be conducted by the American Federation of Labor, being second step on the part of that organization to introduce eight hours as a working day. The miners are thoroughly organized and are affili: ated with the federation. The movement has been brewing for a long time.
The miners are distributed principally through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois. The largest number of them are in Pennsylvania. About 15,000 are in the western end of the State, near Pittsburgh, which place will undoubtedly be the starting point of the movement. William Martin, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, said yesterday: "We regard the battle of the carpenters and joiners for eight hours fully WOn. The results are far beyond our pectations.
Now we come to the miners. It has been decided to let them make the move just as soon as they are ready." a The coal operators are greatly alarmed at the prospect. They claim tbat there are not more than half enough miners at present, and that 8 reduction of hours would probably ruin the business. THE ILLINOIS MINERS. CHICAGO, May strike of the coal-miners of Northern Illinois, which has kept 15,000 men idle for the past month, has been settled.
The executive committee of the National Miners' union which has been in conference with the mine owners in this city since Wednesday morning will issue a circular to the men ordering them to return to work on Monday. It is expected that on thatday all mines in Illinois will presume opcrations with a full force The basis of the settlement is the agreement which was submitted to the miners by the operators at the recent joint convention here, and which latter refused to sign. Several of the provisions. of this agreement were changed in accordance with the miners' views It is understood that the term of existence of this settlement is contingent on the success of the miners in securing the same from the mineowners in the southern part of the State. For this purpose the miners' executive committec will go hence to the southern coal fields to organize the men, and If possible effect an agreement with the operators.
Should they fail the present agreement will be void and a strike will follow, in which the miners will be supported by the American Federation Labor. TILE CHICA SC CARPENTERS.

UTICA, N. May Chenango County Poor House and Insane Asylum, located at Preston, six miles west Norwich, were entirely consumed Wednesday night. The fire was discovered about 11 o'clock, the north wing of the poor house building, where the idiots were kept. There was no means for extinguishing the flames. The keepers and neighbors 125 gave their paupers attention insane, to getting and out lot the building burn.
Eleven idiots are missing. Six bodies can be seen slowly burning. The other five are supposed to be covered up. The poor house building was three stories high and built of wood. The asylum was also a wooden building two stories high and only separated from the poor house by driveway.
The property wag estimated worth $25,000 and insured for $20,000. The Universalist and Baptist churches have been opened for the reception of the unfortunates. Superintendent of the Poor Babco*ck, of South New Berlin, has just left for the scene of the disaster. The origin of the Are is unknown. Wednesday afternoon a woman was the idiot department smoking.
She put her pipe in her pocket and was soon enveloped in flames and later a died from the effects of the burns. It is supposed that some of the idiots got hold of some matches and in playing with them set fire to the building. All tho departments in the institution wore crowded and it can well be imagined that the rescue of the poor creatures, many of them old and very feeble, and others wild with fear and terror which added their insano delusions, was by no means an easy task. The fremen and citizens worked as best they could to carry, drive, drag and push the inmates out, but the flames spread so rapidly there was little time, and the great wonder is that so many were rescued. There was little system in the of the effort to save.
People went at it at haphazard, appalled by the awfulness of the cries and moans of the inmates and the magnitude the catastrophe. Not one of those. who worked expected that so many would be saved. It is learned that two women who were not idiots were burned, but so ditficult is it to obtain correct information that the names of all can not yet be given. The number of dead may possibly reach thirteen, but from the state the ruins it is impossible to state exactly.
The most careful count of the superintendent does not show that more than thirteen were burned. THE LONGUE POINTE CATASTROPHE. MONTREAL, May 9.
