M'arch 1st Next, When Many Provi- sions of the Bill are to Take Effect, May Find the Measure Still in 'Congress—Outline of the Work. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—The republican members of the committee on ways and means will not meet their democratic com- mittee associates until Friday of this week. At that time the tabular state- ment showing the rates in the present and the proposed new law will he completed. With this data in hand, the minority com- mitteemen will be better able to under- stand thc nature of the changes made by the majority. About the middle of next week the bill will'be taken up for discussion in the com- mittee. It will be read by paragraph and the republicans will then offer their amendtfients. After the bill has been thoroughly considered by the full commit- tee the republicans will prepare t’heir re‘ port and present it to the house. Early Debate Doubtful. The expectation that debate will com- mence upon the measure shortly after the meeting of congress is not likely to be realized. It is doubtful if the democrats will fin- ish their report in time to present it to the full committee before next Monday. Under the rules the republicans will have ten days in which to prepare their report, which Will, delay matters until the 14th of December. As the house will probably adjourn Fri- day Dec. 22 for the holiday recess, it may be fairly presumed that only a few days’ debate, if any, can be had, under the most favorable circumstances, during the first month of the session. If the house does not reassemble before the 4th of January the bill is not likely to be sent to, the senate before February. There it may remain in committee a fort- night, and if a month be given to its con- slderatiOn in open senate, which is re- garded as a moderate estimate, it will be seen that even under favorable circum- stances the day named in the bill for many of its provisions to take edect, the 131: of March, 1894, will probably find the bill still in congress. SETTLED OUT OF‘ COURT. Squire Abiligdon and His Big Check for Mrs. Langtry. LONDON, Nov. 29. —The queen’s bench division of her majesty’s high court of justice was filled with a large and expect- ant crowd eager to hear the evidence in what they believed would be a celebrated case, which grew out of acheck given by the late Abington Baird, better known as Squire Abington, to Mrs. Lily Langtry. The check was for the sum of £30,000. Shortly after Baird had given this princely gift to Mrs. Langtry the two had a quar- rel, and Baird determined that if it was possible he would prevent Mrs. Langtr y from enjoying the money. He knew that todemand the return of the check him- self would result in refusal, so he thought he would use diplomacy. He went to Mr. Seaton, a well known racing man, and employed him to get the check or the money back, promising to give him one- third of the amount. Seaton quietly went to work, and after some delay he secured the money and turned it over to Baird. The latter gave Seaton a check for £10,- 000, but when it was presented for pay- ment Seaton was surprised to find that payment had been stopped. He learned that Board had become reconciled with Mrs. Langtry, and this enlightened him as to why he could not obtain the money his check called for. Efforts to get Baird to pay his debt failed, and after his death Seaton brought suit against the executors ’ of Baird’s will to recover the commission claimed. The case was withdrawn from court and will be settled privately. ’ BAD FAILURE. Mortgage Company \Vithout Assets ,Enough to Pay the Receiver. DEann, COL, Nov. 29.—Hundreds of stockholders of the defunct Western Farm Mortgage trust company, in New York, Pennsylvania and New England, are in- terested in following the present investiga- tion going on before Judge Allen in the district court in this city. Certain credi- tors objecting to the report of the receiver, G. W. E. Grifiith, recently filed a bill of objections specifying moi-administration of the assets. Ira W. Hicks, of Lawrence, Kan. , for a long time confidential secretary to the receiver, testified to matters wherein Griffith had used his position to advance his private interests. Receiver Griffith on the stand stated that at present all of the available assets of the once great corpora- tion amount to less than $5,000, and his salary as receiver will exceed that sum. KAISER.

BERLIN, Nov. 29. —Baron Manderode, chief of the political police, has been charged to investigate into the attempt to assassinate Chancellor von Caprivi.

DIsanDrrs THE REPORT. Minister Mendonca Does Not Believe That Para Has Revolted.
