fi THE TARIFF LAW
How Aldrlch and His Alllos Pass
This Bold
THIEVING MEASRRE
By Whkh the Great, Rich States
of the Middle West and the South
Will be Ground Between the Upper
and Nether Millstone* to Kitrich
the Trusts.
Characterizing Nelson A. Aldrich
k "general manager of the United
States," and as by far its "most potent
and powerful legislator." Judsou
C. Welliver, in the July Hampton's
Magazine, arraigns the Rhode Island
Senator and his tariff-Juggling allies
in the most scathing analysis ever
made of "Ross of the Senate." Representing
only fourteen States of less
than seven million inhabitants, "the
Aldrich phalanx." declared the article,
"rules the Republican majority
in the Senate, and through it to rule
the Senate; and through the Senate
to make a tariff law.
"That law will give to the participating
States, such as Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont, Connecticut.
Rhode Island, Delaware, Montana.
Wyoming, Colorado. Idaho. Nevada,
Washington, North Dakota aud West
Virginia, all the protection they want.
The lumber of Washington, the lead
of the mountain States, the citrus
fruits of California, the hides of the
ranges, the cotton and woolen and
silk and shoe mills of New England,
the iron and steel of Pennsylvania?
these will be cared for. The great,
rich States of Middle West and South
will be "ground between the upper
and nether millstones,' as Nelson of
Minnesota declared on the Senate
floor.
"The combination of the small
States of Far East and Far West,
formed and directed by the cold, calculating
genius of Aldrich. is the
power beliiud thl9 tariff revlsiou.
Senators representing only seven millions
of people furnish the power
with which this colossal boss, from
tho smallest and the most corrupt
State, makes a tariff for our population
of ninety millions.
"Yet even with this devoted array
at his hack. Aldrich dared not to
openly avow his intention of grinding
the eighty-three millions between the
millstones of the seven millions.
The New England cotton and woolen
mills were to have protection?and.
therefore, their profit-power?Increased.
It was unsafo to do this
openly and frankly. So Aldrlch reported
a bill in which, he said, there
was no change In their schedules. It
was true au to the figures. Dut Senator
Dolliver sat up a few nights
with some experts, and found that,
without changing a figure. Aldrlch
had. by silently rewriting the definition
of cotton cloth. Increased the duties
throughout. Aldrlch and his
followers denied it; "but Dolliver
proved it. And then he proved, further.
that Aldrlch and his lieutenants
did not do it: they called In the skilled
agents of the manufacturers and
let them fix up the details, so that
the provision would be sure to serve
the purpose!
"That is typical of tariff-making
under Aldrlch. Jokers, snakes, indirections,
concealed meanings, definitions
which seem to mean one
thing and really mean another, juggliugs
of phrase, concealment of a
grain of purpose in a labyrinth of
language?these are the sure systems
with which the Husinet^T Senator
plays his game.
Regarding the charges .that Rhode
Island legislatures have at times been
openly and frankly purchased outright.
Mr. Welllver quotes Col. A.
K. McClure, of Philadelphia, who
alleged that 'In making the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill Aldrlch
gave the Sugar Trust the benefit of
one mill added duty on refined sugar,
which ennbled the trust to draw
down about three million dollara
additional profits per year by the
cheerful process of taking that much
more from the people by adding it
to the price of sugar.
"Handling a tariff or any other
great measure is to Aldrich what
mapping out a campaign would be
to a board of strategy. He works,
works, works. paying Interest
against interest, making deals and
concessions and compromises, till
he Is sure of votes enough on all
essential propositions. He staves off
the tests till he has made a combination
with which to meet each
one. He knows, for Instance, that
with the dominant party pledged to
revise the tariff, a bill must be pass
ed. With that to start on, he must
organize one force to protect his steel
schedule, another to defend sugar. (
another to carry through his textile
duties, and so on through the lift
Some of the men who are with him
on the steel rates, he discovers, will
desert when It comes to sugar
Some who are with him on stee". I '
and woolen will go over to the enemy
when It. conies to cotton.
So his rrmy Is a shifting and
changing force, but he has resources C
form which ho almost Invariably <1
commands the necessary majority. 11
He never uncover* all his forces t
save In time of need. It Is always t
possible for him to go over to the t
Democratic side of the chamber and e
muster a handful of the political ci
opposition to pull through a propo- fi
sltlon In which he is deeply Inter- "
estod. So. If ho finds himself unable c<
to pass his textile schedules with It
Republican votes, he will draft a ?
few Democrats who have cotton mills ai

SHE KNEW HIM
roUNG LADY IDENTIFIED FIEND
VERY READILY.
Toe Sight of the Sconndrel Shocked
Her and Asked Her Father to Kill
Him.
The State says: John Jenkims,
alias "Slippery Jim," the negro *
charged with attempting criminal
assault on a young lady in Georgetown
county, was identified by the
lady. The negro was brought to Columbia
Saturday night and lodged
in the penitentiary for safe keeping.
It was decided Sunday to bring the
young lady to Columbia and accordingly
she came, uccompanied by her
father, and made oath that Jenkins
was the negro who dragged her from
the buggy and attempted the crime.
She brought with her a written
statement which was filed with Mr.
A. J. Hethea, private secretary to
to Gov. Ansel. The statement carries
out practically what has already
been given in the newspapers and
gives no new facts as to the attempted
crime.
When she was shown Jenkins she
begged her father to kill the negro
and was absolutely prostrated as a
result of the shock. This is the
first case of tnis kind in that section
of the country and efforts will be
made at once for a speedy trial.
Mr. Geo. W. Watts has written
Gov. Ansel, who was out of the city,
requesting a special term of court.
There was at no time any danger
of violence aud the people are convinced
that should the law be allowed
to take its course there will
be no difficulty at the trial.
SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES
Received in Auto-Trolley Smash l'p
Near Helton.
A dispatch from Anderson says
the death of the Rev. D. D. Rlchardsoh,
which occurred at a hospital
here, where he was brought soon
after the accident, makes him the
second victim of the automobiletrolley
car collision, nine miles east
of here yesterday. His skull was
fractured and he never regained consciousness.
The body was taken to
Slmpsonvllle, near Greenville, for
Interment, accompanied by Mrs.
Richardson, who was also injured,
and who had since been here with
her husband. Mr. Richardson was
thirty-six years old, and pastor of
the Second Haptist church, of the
Helton and Gluck mills church here.
They had no children. A telephone
messago from Ninety-Six said that
the condition of the Rev. E. A. McDowell.
another of the Injured, is
very satisfactory.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Son of One of the Siamese Twins Was
the Victim.
The Siamese twins are mere names
to the younger generation which now
makes up the major portion of the
circus clientele, but in the old days
these men were among the wonders
of the modern world. The youngest
son of the twin Chang was killed Friday
in North Carolina by lightning.
He was thirty-eight, a deaf mute, but
prosperous and popular. The twins
married Virginia women, and their
children have remained in the South.
All have prospered, but nearly all of
them were born deaf.

MOTIVE FOUND

Now York City.
INSANE JEALOUSY
On the Part of One Chlaatuaa Because
the Girl Veat With Aaother
Cbiaani?a is Now Supposed to
Have Caused the Terrible Mvirder \
of the Girl.
A dispatch from Nnw York says
in the love letters of F t it Sigel to
two Chinamen Is found the moius
for the gruesome murder of Gen
Frauz Sigel'B granddaughter. The (
aight the body was discovered wedg- j
ed into the old trunk in the rooms
or Leon Ling, in Eighth avenue, the
police found a score of mor? of letters.
which the girl had addressed to
him. They were endearing in tone
and indicated a friendship more than
platonic.
In searching Chinatown, the detectives
raided the private rooms of
Chu Gain, owner of the famous Port
Arthur Chinese restaurant, and there
they found about 200 letters which
had been addressed to him by Elsie
Sigel. These letters were even more
endearing in tone than those found
in Leou Ling's room, lu these she
addressed him as "My own dearest
beloved," and "my own dear Chu.,"
"ever your loving Elsie," she frequently
signed herself. The Chu
Goln letters gave the first information
as to the motive for the murder.
Miss Sigel told Chu Gain, in some
of the letters, of her conduct with
Leon Ling, told him not to be jealous,
and explained her object In maintaining
her friendship for Ling. The police
will not give out the full contents
of these letters.
It is now supposed that Leon Ling
decided tragically to end the romance
of the girl he loved and his rival
Her u licet Ion for Chu Gain was
known, as is shown by the letters
received by Chu Gkln. Lu which he
and the girl are threatened with
death unless their relations ceased.
The murder was apparently the expectation
of that threat.
The Chinatown mission, popularly
known as the girls' recreation rooms,
was closed a few nights ago for the
first time since they were opened
eight years ago. No explanation was
given for this action, but it is supposed
that the murder of Elsie Sigel
was responsible. It was in these
rooms that Miss Sigel first undertook
missionary work >u Chinatown, and
it was here that she was brought
In contact with many of the residents
of that section.
The young girl missionaries of
Chinatown, like Elsie Sigel, use these
rooms in which to meet the unfortunate
women of Chinatown and
there talk religion with them. On
stated occasions Chinamen were invited
to the rooms, and there they
met the young girl missionaries.
In that manner many Chinamen were
Induced to attend Christian Sunday
schools in different parts of the city
and from these first meetings many
romances have developed, the Chinamen
marrying white women. The
first of these weddings which occurred
eight yearB ago, created much
comment, but recently there have
been so many such alliances that little
attention is paid to them.Althongh
the mission In Chinatown
where Klaie Sigei formerly
taught, has been closed, a meeting
of Chinese who have been converted
to Christianity wes held in a Doyer
street mission to discuss plans for
raising a fund to be offered as a
reward for the capture of Klsie
Sigel's slayer. No definite sum was
decided upon, but a committee will
go through Chinatown soliciting subscriptions.
The Rev, Fung Y. Mow
acted as chairman.
Theories as to the motive of the
murder all cotucido on the Jealousy
of Leon Ling. That he killed the
girl became of her apparent friendship
for Chu Gain, who Is still detained
as a material witness, is the
predominant belief.
In support of this explanation,
Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the most
prominent women workers in Chinatown.
who knew Elsie Sigel and her
mother intimately, said:
"I knew Chu Gain, who is under .
arrest, very well. Ho is one of the
few Chinamen whom I would trust
with my life. Mrs. Sigel and Elsie
also knew him for many years. They
worn introduced to him through an
uncle of his.
"I believe that Elsie was In love
with Chu Guin and would have mar- '
ried him, but that he would not marry
her."
Here Mrs. Todd went into the most
significant j>art of her statement,
hat bearing on Leon Ling. Sh?
?td:
"Within the last year, desnito her

nit sho refused him. In fact, she
old me that she refused him. Her
lother knew all about It."
Despite her statement, Mrs. Todd
aid she was not inclined to believe
hat Leon committed the murder,
nd she went on to relate that she
ad a dream that Elsie Sigrl bad 1
immitted suicide. Cbu Gain, she i (
?id. came to her on the morning 1 >

er is supposed to ham been com- t

eral hundred persons were near the
' building and many noted the arrival

The matter was known to but very

; first occasion this season when residents
of the city sought overnight
relief at the seashore.
The beaches were thrown open to
the public and policemen were detailed
to guard the sleepers. Most of
those who slept on the sands were
women and their children, who lived
in the crowded sections of the city.
The maximum temperature of
ninety-one degrees was reported at
2 o'clock in the afternoon, but the
most intense suffering came an hour
later, following a hot rain shower,
when the wind died out and the air
became close and sultry.
Street thermometers registered as
high as ninety-four and a high temperature
was maintained all day and
all of Tuesday night.

MUCH LIGHT THROWN
On New York's Murder Mystery by
a Ooauti-yman of the Slayer of
the Girl?She Went to the Chinaman's
Iloom Alone and Was There
Murdered.
That New York murder mystery
has been solved. Hatted aud Intimidated
by detectives Chung Sin. one
time room mate of Leon Ling, told
Tuesday afternoon of Klsie Sigel's
murder. I'nder the terrific, pressure
of the "third degree" the little Chinaman
admitted that he had seen
the body in Leon Ling's room, that
he had touched it while it was still
warm, that he had smelted drugs
and had watched Leon Ling's plans
for getting the body in the trunk,
where it was found horribly decomposed.
Chung Sin is 3 5 years old. He was
arrested at West Walway, N. 11.,
and was brought to New York Tuesday
morning. He was bullied, persuaded
aud entangled in a mass or
significant questions. It was not unill
late Tuesday, however, that his
spirit was sufficiently broken or sufficient
inducement were offered, as
the case may be, for him to cast
aside his air of stolidness and tell
of the death of the young missionary.
Then, smoking cigarette after cigarette
to quiet his nerves, the Chinaman
told brokenly but with brutal
bluntness of the girl's death.
From the man's clorr tf l?s
ent thnt FJlsio Sigel first was drugged
with chloroform and then choked
to death. She was killed apparently
on fhe night of June 9. although
Chung Sin appeared a little
mixed in his dntes. But he says
that early in the morning of June
10 he heard a strange noise in Leon's
room adjoining his aud looking over
the transom saw the girl lying
on the bed with a bloody towel over
the mouth. He passed through the
room, ho says, to go out to wash
his hands, and as he did so felt the
body, which was still wnrm. He
went down to the chop suey restaurant
below and then returned to the
room.
Leon, in the meantlmn, had covered
the body with a blanket up to
the chin and had pulled a trunk to
the middle of the floor The trunk
I^eon was calmly empt>iNg, preparatory
to placing the body therein.
The rope with which the body was
bound was lying on the floor at the
time, according to Chung Sin. Once
again ho went down stairs, said
Chung Sin. whero he remained until
Leon called him. When he entered
the room the body was not visible,
having been bound with the rope and
placed in the trunk.
At this point of the story the
Chinaman was asked savagely if he
had not assisted Leon in nutting the
body in the trunk. Chung stared
perceptibly, but said that he had
no hand in it.
"I did not see her no more," said
Chung Sin, "and when I asked Leon
how she died he said sho had bitten
her tongue and bled to death." Leon
told him, Chung Sin added, that he
iu striiu me iruiiK to Jersey
City, thence to Kurope. As a
mutter of fact it lay untouched in the
stuffy little room until Sun Ling,
proprietor of the restaurant below,
noticed the oder about the building
and summoned the police.
Until Chung Sin's complete account
is made public it will not be
explained why he saw the dead girl
and the preparation for the removal
of the body with such apparent unconcern
at the time. Also, despite
repeated interrogations he declined
to say Just what happened in the rear
loom when the girl was murdered.
He admitted having heard a scuffle
n the room during the night and
told of Klsie having arrived on the
previous afternoon, the day when
she disappeared from hei home.
"Hid Leon take her there or did
she go of her own accord." he was
asked.
"She went there alone." he replied.
"Was she in love with Leon or
Leon in love with her?" was another
question.
At this Chung Sin relapsed into
silence and then only smiled and
shook his head. He indicated, however,
that the Rlrl had sought out
the Chinnman. Incidentally he said
tlint Leon Ling and Chu Cain had
come to blows over the girl In Chinatown
some weeks ago. The police
theory is that Leon killed the girl
because of her attention to Chu Gain.
