i. oorroooror BILL
It Will Be Ready For the Extra .Ses-
sion of Congress on March 15.
SPEEDY PASSAGE ASSURED.
No Dilatory Tactics Are Anticipated, and
the Mmsure -Will Very Likely Go Into
Operation the Instant It Is Ap-
proved by the President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—-—Work on the Re-
"publican tariff bill is being conducted with
a View to having it ready for introduction
by Mr. Dingley imnicdiatelyi-aftcr the or-
ganization of , the Fifty~fifth congress.
This will be in the extra session, which
will assemble on March 15, pursuant to a
will then be referred to the new ways and
means committee to be appointed by
Speaker Reed, and after going through the
form, of an approval it will be reported to
the house probably in less than a week.
There have been many guesses regarding
the length of time which will be required
It
is not expected by experienced congress-
men that debate will be prolonged in the
house more th'an-a month. The story that
determined upon to rush t.:riff legislation
through the house inside of two weeks is
pronounced by BelllllillfiJl leaders to be
nonsense. If any member has a speech to
makcdhe 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 filibustering will not be
permitted. .
The Democrats have given no indication
of a purpose to delay the passage of a tarifi
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 1150' "fethe
country. Senator Gorman already"*has
stated that a Republican tariff bill will be-
come a law after its plan and general
make up have been criticised by the best
Democratic authorities. There is a difi'er-
ence in the senate and house in the fact
that while speaker and the committee on
rules can shut off debate whenever they
please there is no way of ending discussion
in the senate. It is estimated by some that
the extrasession 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. rl'hey 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 Incans 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.x-The question of
authorizing this government to enter an
international bimetallic conference has
been under discussion by the house com-
mittee on coinage. Several resolutions,
including the one adopted by the senate,
are before the committee, and Senator
Nevada have made speeches. Senator
Chandler spoke brieflyin 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
nations—England, France and Germany.
The three creditor nations had amonopoly
of gold and had no interest in equalizing
the prices of gold and silver. '
Aimed at General llIiles.
' WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.——The Washington
Post says the resolution just passed by the
senate on the request of Mr. Allen of Ne-
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 6y 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
the regular army sent to subdue the riots
at Chicago. Mr. Allen takés exception to
that feature relating to the Chicago riots.
Against Tom Watson.
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 Black’s title to his
seat.

DEATH OF ME. BROOKE.
A Sketch of the Busy Career of the Great
Criminal Lawyer.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—-Charles W. Brooke,
the well known lawyer, is dead. After a
life full of activity and honors secured in
the successful defense of criminals he
passed away at the Smith infirmary at
New Brighton, N. Y. It was not believed
that the illness which seized Mr. Brooke
before he had finished trying the case of
Walter K. Freeman before Justine Smyth
would prove fatal. For two days it had
been observed that Mr. Brooke was not”
well, but it was not until a week ago last
Wednesday that he was obliged to give up
his work.
Mr. Brooke was born in Southwark,
Philadelphia, on April 10, 1836. He at-
tended the Protestant Episcopal academy

CHARLES W. BROOKE.
In Philadelphia and afterward entered the
University of Pennsylvania. From this
institution he was graduated in the class
with Bishop Potter. He engaged in the
mercantile business, but left it to accept a
clerkship in the Western bank. His leisure
time was devoted to the study of law, and
in October, 1858, he was admitted to the
bar. Under the command of Samuel J.
Randall he marched to the defense of Get-
tysburg in the war of the rebellion. Re-
turning to Philadelphia, he engaged in the
practice of law. He came to this city in
1871, and has since appeared as leading
counsel in the Inost famous criminal trials. '
He is survived by two sons, Alexander
and Charles Lex Brooke.
AN ATTACK ON SLATTERY.
Windows of the Former Priest’s Carriage
Broken by Missiles.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.—When Joseph
Slattery, the former priest, concluded his
lecture at Industrial Art hall and appeared
at the door to take his carriage to his ho-
tel, the crowd that filled Broad street in
front of the hall greeted him with groans
of derision. A force of police was present,
and a way to the carriage was cleared.
Two policemen got in the carriage with
Slattery and his wife and drove away.
The crowd before the hall was held in
check by the police, but parties of men
and boys, armed with stones and bricks,
were lying in wait in the alleys along
Broad street.
As the carriage passed these points vol-
leys of stones greeted it. The windows
were broken. Policeman Clements .ryvas
cut over the right eye, Policeman Doris’
hand was cut, and Slattery had a similar
injury. Doris put his revolver out of the
broken window and fired five shots on the
ground. It is said that two shots were
fired from the crowd and that one of them
cut Policeman Clements’ eye. All the oc-
ous injury, but the carriage was a wreck.
The North Atlantic Squadron.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9,—The life saving
bureau, which has stations along the south
Atlantic coast, has heard nothing of Rear
Admiral Bunce’s squadron. Captain Rob-
ley Evans said today that, in his opinion,
there was no occasion for alarm. Some of
the vessels were slow craft, and the squad-
ron probably was moving along in con-
cert. The navy department does not credit
rumors of a mishap.
A College Presidency Tendered.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.——It is understood
that the presidency of Washington and Lee
university, Lexington, Va., has been ten-
dered informally to Postmaster General
William L. Wilson. The trustees wil , it
is thought, during the present week take
formal action, after which Mr. Wilson
will make known his decision.

collisions between ocean liners:
Travel across the Atlantic will be
safezand prosaic as ordinary railroad,
travel. There will still be seasickness.
but a great proportion of the more sc
rious of ocean dangers will have been
obviated.
The plan is the establishment of the.
trolley system upon the high seas. A
cable across the ocean. held ' y monster
buoys, at fixed distances, will guide-the
great liners from port to port, and pro
vide the propelling power.
When thisis done the big res-feels of
all Llines will proceed along his fixed
and unvai‘yi'ng ocean pathway in safe
and orderly fashion. '

from all parts of the world, at any
stage of her voyage. I
The ocean traveler will be no more
remote from the rest of the world than
was the person who in old times jourv
neyed by the lazy packet boats along De
Witt Clinton’s canal.
The amount of electric energy re-'
quired for the operation of a trolley
systcmlof such stupendous magnitude
would of necessity be vastes taan any-
thing electrici ins have ever conceived.
These requirements in' the way of
power the inventor propose f to fill by
utilizing, as has already been suggested
by scientific minds, the enormous force
that existsiu the rise and fall of the
tides onthe American and European
coasts- I
The original outlay for the starting of
sucha system would mount into mil-
lions—perhaps billions, but the ultimate
saving in the expense of conducting the
trans-Atlantic} navigation would be re-
duced to a. minimum. Light, heat,
propelling force, will all be drawn from
the great cable; and the number of men
requisite for the running of big pas-
senger ships correspondingly dimin-
ished.
Electricians who have been taken into
consultation on the 'plan pronounce it
feasible and possible. . Henry Roltz,
a young inventor of East New York,
who has made careful study and exper-
periment of the whole matter, declares
that a speed of eighty- five miles an
hour could easily be attained by the
marine trolley. — This would bring Eu
rople as near New York as Chicago is by
rai . .
Besides the forces already mentioned
that will be contributed by the electric
power, every steamship will then be
equipped with electric life boats. 1n-
ventors say that these can be so con
trolled that the terrors that now sur-
round the eifort of launching a. boat in
a rough sea will be reduced to a mini-
mum. There will be no more strain—
ing at the oars, and the boats will ride
the waves with as much ease as if pro
polled by a score of ,brawny sailors.
One of the most pleasing features of
the system will be the fact that it is
proposed to have the entire pathway
across the ocean lighted. The use of
the tides as a source of power will ren~
der the supply inexhaustible, so that
there will be plenty of power for pur-
poses of illumination. No matter how
heavy the storm or how high the sea.
runs. there will be light on every side.
It will be the Broadway of the.'ocea.n.-—

Stories of Marie Antoinette.
Of the ill-fated Marie Antoinette
many anecdotes are told, especially her
difficulties under the extremely strin-
gent rules of etiquette which prevailed
at the French court in the reign of
Louis XVI. She christened one of he:
monitors, the Comtesse de Noailles.
“Madame Etiquette,”/and made use 01'
her knowledge in the’ strangest circum-
stances. She once had a fall from: a.
donkey in her private grounds, and ris—_
ing to her feet laughingly cried out:
“Go and fetch Madame de Noailles;
she will tell us what is prescribed for a.
Queen of France when she falls off a.
donkey.” ‘ ‘ . .
Here is a. pathetic story: The queen
was undressing on a. cold winter night,
and t.-c maid was handing her the
"chemise de unit,” when the lady in
wrung cane in, to whom, as, being 0:
superior Iank, the garment had to be
given over. She could-not touch it.

stood waiting and shivering. At 1.1.3.-
