The Mp»sur* Prepared by the Majority of the Ways and Means Committee Agreed to by a Strict Party Vote—PopulUU Divided Equally Between Bepublicani and Democrats. After three and a half hours' debate the House of Representatives passed a tariff bill affecting every schedule and almost every article on whioh customs taxation ia levied, with the exception of sugar. As soon as Mr. Dlngley had reported the tariff bill frost the Ways and Means Oommitfee Mr. Crisp was reoogntzed. He complained that the minority of the committee had had no opportunity of preparing and lubmitting their views. The minority had waited for time to obtain estimates from the Treasury Department as to the effect of the proposed measure and had been refused. Then the minority had asked for a reasonable time to prepare a minority report, and that was also re/used. Hr. Henderson tben reported from the Committee on Rules tho rule providing for the vote on the tariff bill at 5 c'olock p. m. Mr. Crisp objeoted to tbe rule as preventing the consideration of what he called "a genoral tariff bill." The rule was agreed to by a vote of 213 to 39. Messrs. Connolly, of Illinois; Helner, of PimiVylvsnia; Liriuev, of North Carolina, and Wilber, of New York, Republicans, voting "no" with the Democrats.In the debate which followed the reading of the tariff bill Republicans argued from the standpoint that an increase of revenue by an increase of customs taxation was the one thing needed to cura the evils the Presi- • dent bad pointed out. Democrats took the ground that tho Treasury had plenty of money to meet all expenditures, and denounced the proposal to increase taxation. Party spirit ran high at times, and each side Indulged in many partisan flings at the other. Tbe bill was read a third time, and on the question of its passage the yeas and nays were called, resulting—Yeas, 205; nays, 81. It was a strict party vote, except that the eight Populists  vided evenly, Messrs. Baker, Bell. Kem and Stroml voting nay with the Democrats, Messrs. Howard, Newlands, Shufford and Skinner voting yea with the Republicans. No amendments of any sort were permitted, although an error in the bill was pointed out.  Exact Meaning of the Bills. Chairman Dingley.of the Ways and Means Committee, made a statement as to the exact meanings of the Revenue bill. He said: "The Bevenue bill Is not intended to be a tariff revision, but simply an extgonoy bill to raise about $40,000,000 of revenue to meet the deftcienoy. The main object Iβ revenue, although incidentally the inoreases will help American industries to some exteiit. The bill is limited to two and a hair • years, the expectation being that by that time the Republicans will be in full power and able to revise the tariff on their own lines. Wools are taken from the free list, and clothing given a duty of C 4-10 cents (sixty per cent, of the duty provided bv the act of 1890), and woolen goods aro given a specific! compensatory duty, sixty per cnnt. of what they hnd under the act of 1890, in addition to the ad valorem duty of the present law. Carpet wools are placed where they were under the act of 1880, and tho same speoiflo duty givun to carpets a« uudnr the act of 1890, in addition to the ad valorem duties of the present law. The artiolee of lumber placed on the free list of the tariff of 1890 are transferred to the dutiable list, with sixty per cent, of the duty that they had under the act of 1890. Then all the other dutiable schedulas (except sugar, whioh is not touched) have all the duties raised fifteen per cent. The committee had not the time to treat articles separately, and hence a horizontal increase became necessary as to all articles now on the free list. "Theßondbill."added Mr. Dingley, "gives the Secretary of th» Treasury authority to issue a three per cent, five-year coin bond to maintain the redemption fuud, in addition to the authority he now possesses, but provides that the proceeds of all bonds sold under this aot and under the Resumption act shall be used only for redemption purposes. "It also provides that all bonds shall be first offered to the people of this country. The bill also authorizes certificates ofindebtednese, bearing three per cent, interest and payable within three years, to be issued to meet any temporary deficiency of revenue. The only object of the bond bill is to reduce the rate of interest and the time they run, as the bonds which the Secretary is now authorised to Issue bear four or five per cent, interest. The bill practically separates the redemption fund from the cash in the Treasury, and is intended to put a stop to the practical use of prooeeds of bonds to meet the deficiency in the Treasury."

A panic In the Front Street Theatre, Baltimore, Mi,.., following an alarm ot fire, resulted in the loss of twenty-two lives and the injury of fifty or more persons. All the vlctfms are Polish Hebrews, who assembled in the theatre to. witness a performance. As the play was popular, the attendance was unusually large, the playhouse being packed to the doorway. The curtain was about to rise at eight o'clock p. m., when one of the gas tips fell from a burner. One of the audience promptly turned off the gas, and an employe went up stairs to mend the jet, and in order to determine which tip was missing lit all tbe lights. As the flame shot from the open burner one of the gallery spectators lost hie bead and, screaming "Fire!" dashed wildly in the direction of the entrance. The orowd caught up the cry and became paniostricken. There are only two stairways leading to the floor below, and these are narrow and rickety affairs. As the men, women and children in their mad flight tried to force their way down they met the crowd below that dashed from the lower floor. A Jam and a crush followed, and In an instant a shrieking maas of humanity was trampled under foot. They fought desperately to save t ti'ir little ones, but the surging mass came piling on. crushing the life out of the unfortunates who were caught under foot. Those who had reached the open, anxious to help those within, returned and blocked the doorway. Just about this time the Fire Department, which had been called out, arrived.
