0 . ——

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—11'ork on the Re-

publican tariff hill is being conducted with
aview to having it ready f'OI introduction

11y Mr. Dingley immediately aftci the or-

ganization of the Fifty- -fiftl1 congress.

'1 his will be in the extra session which

~ will assemble on March 15, p111 suant to a

call of President McKinley. The measure
will then be referred to the new ways and
means committee to be appointed by
Sneaker Reed, and after going through the
form of an approval it will be reperted to
the house probably in less than a week.
There have been many guesses regarding

. the length of time which will be required

to dispose of. the new tariff measure. It
is not expec’ted by experienced congress»
men that debate will be prolonged in the
The story that

through the house inside of two weeks is

6. pronounced by Republican leaders to be

nonsense. If any member has a speech to
make he will get full opportunity either to
be heard or to print his remarks in The
Congressional Record. It is not expected
that any dilatory proceedings will be at-
tempted, as the majority is sufficient to
control all organization, and with Mr.
Reed in the chair filibustei 111g will not be
permitted

The Democrats have given no indication
of a purpose to delay the passage of a tariff
bill. Like the members of their party in

' the senate, they accept the result.of the re-'

cent election and acknowledge the respon-
sibility of the Republican party to the
country. Senator Gorman already has
stated that a. Republican tariff bill will be-
come a law after its plan and general

, make 11p have been criticised by the best

Democratic authorities. There is a differ-
ence in the senate and house in the fact
that while speaker and the committee on
rules can shut .ofi debate whenever they
please there is no way of ending discussion
in the senate. It is estimated by some that
the extra session may continue until after
July 1, although it has been decided that
the tariff bill shall go into operation the
instant it is approved by the president. .-

In the desire to facilitate progress high
rates are being avoided by the tariff mak-
ers, who understand that to pass the Ding-
ley bill in the least possible time it is wise
not to invite unnecessary antagonism. No
one has the slightest apprehension that
any complication can arise which will pre-
vent the passage of the bill.

The two members of the Canadian par-
liament, Messrs. Cartwright and Davies,
who are in Washington in the interest of
closer trade relations with the United
States, have encountered a barrier to the
success of their mission in the ways and
means committee, which is framing the
new tariff bill. They base their reciprocity
scheme upon an exchange of concessions
by which Canada will admit the manufac-
tures of the United States upon favorable
tariff terms in return for tariff concessions
to Canadian farm products. Members of
the ways and means committee have an-
nounced their intention to give particular
benefits to the American farmers and to
secure to the farmers of the United States
the entire home market for their products.

Several of them said today that they

would not consider any reciprocity scheme,

which would take any part of the home
market from the farmers. Their policy
of giving protection is shown in the agri-
cultural and lumber schedules of the new
tariff bill which have become known. '

The Bimetallic Conference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8,—The question of
authorizing this government to enter an
international bimetallic conference has
been under discussion by the house c0111-
Inittee on coinage. Several resolutions,
including the one adopted by the senate,
are before the committee, and Senator
Chandler and Representative Newlands of
Nevada have made speeches. Senator
Chandler spoke briefly in support of the

senate resolution.

Mr. Newlands discouraged the plan for
a conference. He said the four interna-
tional conferences already held had been
merely debating societies, and another con—
ference would have no greater results.
The delegates to such conferences seldom
were empowered to commit their govern-
ments to any action, and there never were

any results. In the past the United States

had consulted only England, France and
Germany, whose interests were to main-
tain the gold standard, whereas the debtor
nations of Russia,"Austria, Brazil, Chile
and others were interested in bimetallism,
although they had been drawn to the gold
standard under the influence of the creditor
nations—England, France and Germany.
The three creditor nations had a monopoly
of gold and had- no interest in equalizing
the prices of gold and silver. .

Aimed at General Miles.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—-The Washington
Post says the resolution just passed by the
senate on the request of Mr. Allen of No-
braska relative to presents to army officers
is directed against General Nelson A.
Miles. Senator Allen is said to have copies
of a letter circulated by an organization
which is raising a fund for the purchase of
a $50,000 residence for General Miles in
Washington. The letter states that among
other conspicuous services of General Miles
his influence operated largely in having
Ihe regulal army sent to subdue the riots
at Chicagofi Mr. Allen takes exception to
that feature relating to the Chicago 1 lots.

Against Tom \Vatsou.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The house com-
mittee on elections, which has charge of
the election contest brought by Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia recently, the‘ Populist
candidate for vice president, against Re-
presentative Black, has unanimously de-
cided to confirm Judge Blacks title to his
seat. '

‘ THE EVE NING

THE INDIANA’S TURRBTS.

A Statement of the Battlehip‘s Trouble
by the Navy Department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-—The navy depart-
ment has received a repOIt from Captain
Taylor of the battleship Indiana explainv
ing the return of his ship to Hampton
Roads. The department made the follow-
ing statement:

The officers of the ship, as appears from
the report, owing to former trouble with
the locking devices of the turrets when the
ship was subjected to heavy rolling, were
exceedingly cautious as to the action of
the improved devices put on at New York.
So far as the report states. the new device
did not giv 9 way in any part nor de-
velop any permanent deformity, but when
the ship rolled rather heavily in the trough
of the sea, there was a slight play in the
device obseived, the whole movement not
exceeding a quarter of an inch and was
confined almost entirely to the forward 13
inch turret.

This slight movement of the turrets was
readily checked by setting up the bolts.
There was a heavy swell running, and
Captain Taylor informed Admiral Bunce
by signal that he feared continuous rolling
might cari) away the locking device. Aft-
er some messages had been passed between
them the Indiana was directed to 1eturn to
the Roads. She had no trouble on the
way back.

So faI as the report shows. the locking
mechanism is in good condition, but Con-
structor Stahl of the Norfolk yard has
been ordered to inspect and report on the
same.

 

OHIO’S NATIONAL GUARD.

Open W'arfare “’agin'g and a Sensational
Shaking Up Threatened.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 8.—-—The internal strife
in the Ohio national guard has reached
the point where open warfare has been de-
clared. It began with the state encamp-
ment in Clovel land last summer. It was
changed later that certain Cleveland offi-
cers in the Fifth regiment were getting fat
percentages for collecting money for the
guard and Assistant Adjutant General
Kingsley began an investigation. The re-
sult is a court martial ordered by the gov-
ernor for two weeks hence, the defendants
to be Cleveland officers.

Previous to this the officers of the regi-
ment demanded of the governor an open
court of inquiry to embrace all the mili-
tary organizations of Cleveland and the
financial management of the state camp by
the adjutant general’ 5 office. This court
has not been granted. Colonel Coit of the
Fourteenth regiment then delivered him-
self of some bittei remarks about the ad—
jutant geneIal 5 office, and a few weeks
ago two companies in his regiment were
mustered out by the adjutant general for
inefficiency.

The Fifth regiment officers are standing
together, and today it was announced that
they had begun a systematic canvass of
the entire state guard for a united on-
slaught upon the adjutant general. They
declare that they have received every en-
couragement to go ahead, and that the na-
tional guard will receive a shaking up
which wil be historical.

. Idle Convicts In Massachusetts.

BOSTON, Feb. S.—-—The agitation of the
shoe dealers and others for a restriction in
convict labor has resulted in a delay of the
appropriation for the state prisons and
has been productive of serious results at
the Charlestown prison. Over 500 con-
victs are idle as a result, and unless an im-
mediate appropriation is made every pris-
oner will remain in his cell day after day.
There are 817 men at present in the prison.

Dr. Simpson Retaliates.

DEDHAM, Mass, Feb. S.-—Dr. John T.
L. Simpson of Baston, who was recently
acquitted of a charge of perjury in connec-
tion with a civil suit. has filed an attach-
ment with the Norfolk register of probate
against Edward B. Harvey of Boston.
His property is attached in an action of
tort for $80,000. ‘

Olney Still Considering.

BOSTON, Feb. 8.—A special to The J our-
nal from Washington says: Mr. Olney’s
friends hardly think that he will accept
the, invitation of President Eliot to assume
the professorship of international law at
Harvard college. Mr. Olncy himself says
that he still has the matter under consid4
eration.

Letter Box Contracts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The postmaster

KNIGHTS o: PYTHIAS. .

The Ritual of the. Unifm-mcd Bank Was
Not Legillly Adepted. _
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8.—~’Ihc supreme
tribunal, Knights of Pythias, has closed its
sitting. The‘ tribunal consists of George
E. Seay, Dallas, who is chief tribune; John
H. Alexander, Leesburg, Va; Edward A.
Graham, Montgomery, Ala; Benjamin T.
Chase, Lewiston, Ma, and Frank H.
Clark, Chevenne, 11 y

The matter presented for adjudicatibn
was the case of Philip Colgrove as supreme
chancellor and James R. Carnahan as ma-
jor general of uniform rank‘,’ K. of P.

The question involved was whether or
not the so called ritual of the uniform
Iank, as presented at the Cleveland session
of the supreme lodge, was legally adopted

-and whether it was the duty of the su-

premo keeper of records and seal to publish
this so called ritual for the use of the rank.

It was decided ,that this ritual was not
adopted-by the supreme lodge in the man-
ner prescribed by the fundamental law of
the order, and that it was therefore not le-
gally a. ritual of the order, and that the
supreme keeper of records and seal was not
authorized to print and publish the same.
There were several other matters disposed
of at this sitting, but none of them was of
general interest to the order at large.

The decision of the supreme tribunal is
not subject to appeal and settles the ques-

tion involved until the defects referred to

are remedied by the legislative branch of
the order.

THE HOPKINS MILLIONS.

Twenty-nine Relatives Combine to Break
the Eccentric llIan‘s \Vill.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 8.—-Twenty-nine rel-
ativcs of the late Millionaire Charles G.
Hopkins have filed papers in a suit in the
circuit comt here to break his will. Hop-
kins died last fall, and his will bequeathed
his estate to his secretary and his house-
keeper, leaving but small bequests to his
relatives. They include Charles G. Hop—
kins, ncphew, of St. Louis; Mrs. Blanche
Either of Saginaw, Mich, and Mrs. Nar-
cissa Nason of Indianopolis. ‘

Hopkins was '75 years old and unmar-
ried, and his will expressly stated that he
had no wife or issue. To his secretary,
Thomas M. Barr, he gave outright $350,-
000, and to Miss Elizabeth Calvert, his
housekeeper, property valued at $100,000
or more.

The petition to set aside the will, which
was witnessed at the time of being written
by ex-Mayor Henry Kumpf, sets forth that?
Hopkins, being in his dotage, was unduly
influenced by Barr and Miss Calvert. .5. An
imposing army of talent has been retained
on both sides, and a stubborn contest is
expected. a

Major William Warner, who is ‘among
the counsel for the plaintiffs. speaking of
the case, ,said it won d probably not come
11p until the next to 111 of Court. The case,
he said, would be fought to the end.
