Washington, April 13.?Encouraged by tin im -oth working of their new legislative machine which today be? gan to grind, 1 ?t tnoeratie leaders of the hOUM are planning to extend their tariff revision programme. Until this time the only tariff tinkering deter? mined upon included Canadian reci? procity opposed to the reciprocity bill us It stands, and the wool and cot? ton schedules, but It has been deter? mined to revise the agricultgral schedule. Mr. Cnderwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, stated to? night that the house, at the rate of progress set today, would complete the business outlined at the present much earlier than was generally an? ticipated and that other tariff sched? ules would be taken up after the wool and cotton schedules have been re? vised. The agricultural schedules will be assailed by the Democrats because of the high cost of living cry, and an effort will be made to'reduce the duties on those food products that are most necessary to the public.

He Deceived Not Only the Sisters, but Even the Wife, of the Man Whose Place He Usurped?The Return of the Real Guerre and the Exposure. Perhaps the most remarkable case of doubles In all history is that of I Martin Guerre, a Frenchman, who was born near Bayonne iu the Drat half of the sixteenth century. Martin Guerre was the son of a well to do farmer und brickmaker, and. as was the custom of the country at the time, be married at the age of eleven Ber trande de Kols, who had then reached the age of ten. For eight years tbey lived together. Unfortunately Martin stole a bushel of corn from his father. Frightened by the helnousness of his crime, he de? serted his wife and fled to Spaiu There he entered the service of Em? peror Charles V. and after severaL years of campaigning seems to have forgotten bis wife, Bertrande, and his baby boy. Sane bo. At any rate, he ceased to write home, and his family lost all trace of him. His absence stretched on to eight years. Then one evening a stranger urrlved at the Inn of the village where the de? serted wife was still living. Ho at once told his boat that he was Martin Guerre and recounted the adventures and hardships that bad kept him from home so long. The rumor of Martin Guerre's return soon spread, and his four sisters hastened to the hostelry to welcome blm home. Tbey found him much changed. He uad gone eight years before, scarcely more than a boy. Now he was a mature man. bronzed and bearded. Nevertheless tbey welcomed htm, embraced hlra and carried the news to his wife. Bertrande hastened to bim at once. When she saw him first she started back with misgiving; But he address? ed her tenderly, repeated word for word their parting conversation and mentioned details that only a husband could have known. He even spoke of the clothing be had left behind and where it could be found. Bertrande was convinced. She begged forgive? ness for her doubts and threw herself into his arms. An uncle arrived. He. too, hesitated, but the newcomer de? tailed to him s 11 the minutiae of their business transactions eight years be? fore, and he also was convinced. The upshot of the matter was that this newly arrived Mttrtfn Guerre re? turned i >m< with his wife atid II ed bappi and without luoptcion with her for four jenrs. Duffteg this time tbej had two children, und Martin's father at bis ueatu omjuettiheu bim a farm. However, a soldier passing through the village declared that be had seen Martin at the siege of St Quentin, that he hnd lost a leg there, but that he was still alive, and the soldier left a written deposition to that effect The rumor spread that the man living as Martin Guerre was an impostor. Bertrande at this filed a criminal Information against the man to whom for four years she had granted the rights of a husband. He was describ? ed in the accusation as Arnault du Tilb and was committed to prison. The prisoner said that the uncle bad influenced bis wife and that the whole charge was a conspiracy to deprive him of his fortune of 8,000 livres. He submitted to a searching interrogatory, after the French fashion, and an? swered all questions satisfactorily. He told of his campilgns and revealed the most intime,e details of the family his? tory. He .-elled for his defense, too, on the four listers who ?tili called bim brother, o.i his four years' life with Bertrande with her consent and press? ed her In the presence of the Judges to swear that he was not ber real hus? band, declaring that if eh*? so swore he was ready to forfeit his head. Ber trande refused to take this oath. She was confused by his confident manner. In the trial 150 wltli"??see were exam [ iued. Of this number forty deposed that the man was the real Martin Guerre, fifty deposed that he was Ar? nault du Tilh. and sixty declined to pronounce any opinion, owing to the extraordinary resemblance, in spite of the conflicting evidence the judge pronounced him guilty. Lie at once appealed to the parliament of Tou? louse. On this appeal thirty witnesses were re-examined. Ten deposed that be was Martin Guerre, eight that lie was an impostor, and the remainder confessed that tbey were too bewildered to have sin\ opinion. The judges were sorely perplexed and leaned to the side of the prisoner. By a curious coincidence just at this juncture the real Martin UueiTe made I his appearance on the scene. lie show? ed the same murin on ids face as those borne by the prisoner. Tin* men were confronted with each other b; court. F.ven the four sisters, who till now had clung to their belief in the prisoner, confessed their mistake. The prisoner lost his nerve, confessed als crime and begged forgiveness. He was condemn? ed to death and executed. The real Martin was restored to bis rights.? Conrad Oak in New Vork Tribune.
