IAEMEES ROBBED BY PROTECTION. Sherman Speaks on the Revenue Marina Bill In the Semite he Indian Appropriation Bill. riF Y-FIEST CONGRESS. SENATE. Washington, July 21.
On motion of Senator Hoar the select committee on relations with Canada, was authorized to continue its investigations during the coming recess and next session. Senator Dtwes moved the reconsidera-of the Indian appropriation bill. Senator Gray asked him to yield and permit the bill to transfer the revenue marine to the naval establishment to be taken up in the morning hour. After debate this was agreed to and the senate then proceeded to the consideration of the house bill. The bill having been read, the date for the appointment of revenue marine officers to be officers of the navy was fixed for January 1, Senator Sherman addressed the sena'e.
He said that practically it would be of no service in the collection of customs revenue. The only object of the bill was to advance the pay of the officers to the extent of $121,000 a year and to have them entitled to be placed on the retired list. These oificers have only asked it as. a of -jashue pay'sb6uld be the same as that of naval officers of corresponding rank, and that they should have the rights to retiring pay. The younger officers of the navy were also in favor of (he bill as it would give them better chances of promotion.
The young officers think it will give tbem pleasant and permanent employment around cities where they could dance with the girls and have fun and a good time. As one of them had recently expressed it. "What a delight ful thing it would be to be captain of a revenue cutler." But was that. Senator Sherman asked, the duty for which thev were educated by the government? Not at all. He said their duty as officers of the navy was not to run the revenue marine, nor to catch smugglers, but to fight the enemies ot the country to be skilled in wanare, in gunning and In seamanship.
Senator Spooner replied to Senator Sherman's argument aud advocated the bill. Senator Allison opposed the bill. The bill was siill beins discussed when, at 2 o'clock it was laid aside without action and the unfurnished business, the tariff bill, taken up for consideration. Senator voorhees ot Indiana addressed the senate in opposition to the bill. In the course of his remarks Senator Voorhees re ferred to the recent Stanley wedding in London attended by members of the royal family and by the representatives of the highest aristocracy of England, and to the wedding presents of fabulous price showered upon the hero of the dark continent and his bride.
Ao American pro tected manufacturer he said was there and bestowed upon the bride a gift richer and rarer and far more mostly than any that could be afforded by the (jueen ol England or the King of Belgium. It was Carnegie, he said, and bis gift was an uncut diamond of such a size and quality, that neither the richest of the crown jewels of England nor the moonstone of India could surpass it in value, and now he asked bow came American king of steel and iron to have a diamond beyond the reach of other kings of the world and to be able to give it away. The farmers of the United States had paid tor tnat diamond ten thousand times over the last twenty years by paying average duty of over 3- per on every article of iron and steel that they used, and by laying increased rates or railroad ireignra made necessary by the high duties on steel and iron rails and rolling stock for the farmers at last paid for it. If the pending bill became a law they would have an increase of duty to iy on iron and steel from 3S per cent, to 51.75 per cent. Senator Voorhees' passed on to the discussion of the proposed increase of 120 per cent on the tin plate in order to protect and impart industry as yet unborn and in order to give employment to workmen now idle.
It would be far cheaper, tie said, for the country to pay 24,0 idle men their average wages than to tax every square of tin Highest of all in Leavening Power. FOREIGN ITEMS.

HEIDENHEIMER ARSON CASE.
CALLED TO HIS D00E AND SHOT. Negro Assassinated In Red River County. A Kansas Man Takes the Morphine Route Railway News Galve8ton, July 21. The second chapter in the arson case opened today. The grand jury that exonorated Messrs.
Samson and Isaac Heidenheimer returned indictmeuts against Jos. Marx and Edgar W. Wei-t, charging them with combining to institute criminal proceedings before a magistrate for the purpose of gaining a pecuniary advantage and extorting money. Upon this Mark and West were arrested today and held in bond of $500 for their ap-pea ance before the present district criminal court. Joseph Marx is a young lawyer from Texarkana and it was he that instituted this inquiry into the burning of the Texas Standard Oil Mills, which through the action of the authorities here, resulted in the arrest of the Messrs.
Heidenheimers. In an interview Marx, tonight, he stated that he came to Galveston on April 18. for the purpose of engaging in the practice of law ana with no idea ot investigating the fire, but on or about May 1, he was solicited by the insurance companies which held policies on the burned oil mills to thoroughly investigate the origin of the fire and ascertain if possible if it was of incendiary origin or not. Marx, before acceptine the proposition of the in surance companies, consul ted an ablelawyer cere ar.Q was aavisea Dy mm to accept tne case. This he did under and by vime of authority of the chairman of the committee of insurance companies, which had policies on the Tej as Standard Oil Mills, who in writing to Marx says "The general purport of the origin of the fire was communicated to us under an anonymous signature tae day after the fire, and was again presented to us in what appeared to be a reliable warner a few days The chairman further stated, ittat 'without specific details under.which they could make a or ''secure the release of our policy of insurance amounting to nearly $100,000 for us and all other companies, we will be certain not to spend any money on it, but that the evidence must sustain the fact that the fire was an incendiary act of the assured." Max disclaims that he began this investigation with malace to the Heidenheimers, but simply in the interest of his clients, the insurance companies.
That it was through Mr. West he procured the names of the employes, and secured their testimony without the use or offer of money. That this testimony was not procured for the purpose of criminal proceedure against Messrs. Heidenheimer, but to stop the payment ot the insurance money if arson had been committed. That neither he or West can be held responsible for the arrest and examination of the Messrs.
Herder-heimers as this was the duty of the authorities who by the arrest and imprisonment compelled the main witness to testify and then secured he testimoney ot others as to the cause of the fire. Marx and West say they cou't the fullest investigation inio their acta and are confident of an honorable acquittal. GEORGETOWN CHAUTAUQUA. Lecture by Col.
