MARCH !'.,
Tjfg family of Consul General Lee
wiM return to the United States within
two. wee Li... This is thought to be pre
paratory 'to" a change in the Consulship.
The line of march of the presidential
inaugural parade was extended two
squares beyond what was originally in
tended to pass i he residence of Corneli
us Vanderbilt. He contributed $10,000
to the inaugural fund on those condi
tions. The U. S. Treasury was transferred
from the control of Secretary Carlisle to
Secretary Gage on the 4th of March with
a gold reserve of 150,093,630 and an
available cash balance in the treasury,
including the gold reserve, of $212,725,
2o7. How will it be when President
McKinley goes out?
When the present tariff was under
cconsideration (and long afterward) the
calamity howlers asserted that southern
influence prevented an adequate reduc
tion of the duty on rice. The Dingly
tariff bill proposes to increase the exist
ent duty on rice. Is this also due to
southern iniluenc. or is it designed to
win a southern vote or two for the bill?
A Washington dispatch says that th
new tariff may go into effect on July 1
next, and that there is a disposition on
the part of other Republican members
of the late ways and means committee
to let Chairman Dingly decide just how
much "protection" the sugar trust shall
have. What a spectacle for the ensu
ing Independence day, and what a hap
py Fourth of July for the sugar trust.
The McKinley schedule on wools and
woolens has been substantially adopted
by the Republican majority of the ways
and means committee. Some import
ant changes were made in classification
with a view to meeting the objection of
the wool growers to the use of cheap
wools imported at carj-t rates under the
MeKinley law for clothing purposes.
Other than these, little change has been
made.
Now that the inauguration ceremo
nies are over the people of these United
States may well ask themselves what
ihey have gained by electing a Republi
can. They find it announced that a
cabinet has been formed in which every
interest that fattens on the government
is represented and that scarcely a Eiugle
member of it is not indebted to Repub
lican party legislation for a very large
part or the whole of a great private for
tune. The Fifty-fifth congress met in extra
session Monday, and the house of repre
sentatives began business by re-electing
Speaker Reed, who received l'J9 votes
to 114 cast for his Democratic oppo
nent, Mr. Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas.
Mr. Reed made some enemies in the
late congress by his rigid and not al
ways successful opposition to scanda
lous expentiture, as well as by his insist
ence in pinning the .house down to es
sential matters. Oh the whole, how
ever, he won a larger measure of respect
from the memlers of both parties by
the firmness with which he held the
helm: and his re-election followed nat
urally upon a general recognition of the
fact that the masterful qualities which
he has shown in the speaker's chair
will be quite as indispensable in the
present as in any Former congress.
RErHESESTATivE Bailey, of Texas,
had the honor of receiving the Demo
cratic nomination for speaker of the
house, and every I democrat who was
present at the meeting of the house,
Monday, voted for him. Mr. Reed was,
of course, elected, but the present house
has a Republican majority of about lt
less than the last house. There was
more or less talk about an attempt being
made at the Republican caucus, to cur
tail the power of the speaker, but when
the time came for action, the nerve was
lacking, and Mr, Reed will dictate the
business of this house just as he did that
of the last. The Democratic nom ina
ction for speaker was equivalent to an
election of the Iemocratic leader in the
Louse, and Mr. Bailey will be so recog
nized during the Fifty-fifth congress.
He is a comparatively young man for so
responsible a position, but during his
service in the house his natural ability
has forced him to the front and no
doubts are entertained of his making a
good leader and adding to the reputa
tion he already has.
On Wednesday Governor Hastings
6ent to the legislature, a lengthy mess
age on tne subject or a new capito
building. He points out the necessity
oi prompt acuon, ana says mat a group
of buildings, each suitable for a specific
department, appears to meet with more
general approval than a single struc
ture, while the cost, he has been ad
vised, would not be nearly so great, and
the effect, from an architectural stand
point, scarcely less imposing. But
whatever plan is adopted, the governor
believes that provision should be made
for the needs of the public for a centu
ry at least.
Governor Hastings does not believe in
increased taxation to cover the cost of
the new capitol. He has been advised,
he says, "that a new building, suitable
for the general assembly, and of such
character as will be creditable to the
commonwealth, can, by the utilization
of the two million or more of brick, the
remains of the old building, be erect
ed at a cost not exceeding $550, 0(H). Of
this sum we have realized nearly $200,
from the insurance policies upon the
old capitol leaving a deficit of about
350,000, to be provided for by re
duced expenditures, or by increased rev
enues, as may seem best.
The tariff-mongers are in a fix. The
long advance notice of the intention to
put a duty on wool, to remove other
imports from the free list and to ad
vance protective duties ou many other
articles has given a cue to speculators,
and they have bought heaviiy abroad of
which is likeiy to be made dearer in
this country by the exactions of the tar
iff. Imports have already begun to in
crea.e aud there is a prospect that the
stream of importation will reach
the dimentions of a Hood before the pro
posed changes in schedules can become
operative.. This will expand revenue
under the Wilson law: but the forestall
ing of requirments will prevent an in
crease in revenues under the proposed
Dingley law. The need of the revenue
was to be the convenient cloak for more
tariff extortion; and if the first fruits of
the new law must be a decrease in cus
toms receipts, it will go hard with iu
projectors, and supporters in the judg
ment of the country. Something must
be done, therefore, to frighten import
ers and speculators, and thus checks
the rush of imports under the existing
law. To this end all sorts of mysterious
suggestions of what congress projoses to
do to make tke higher duties on the
Dingley bill apply to imports iu advance
of its enactment are being widely dissem
inated. Business men need not seriously con
cern themselves with this inspired chief
of the Washington coirespondents. It
is beyond the power of congress to make
a tariff law retractive. Manufactures
and speculators who buy wool burlap or
anything else abroad and get it landed
before the passage of the tariff bill may
feel secure that its provisions will not
be applicable to their imports.
This is bad for the tarillites; but there
is no help for it. The tariff bill of lt'J4
was declared by its enacting clause to
take effect from August 1, but it did not
become a law until the morning of Au
gush 2i', 1SU4, and the effort to make
its schedules enforceable from August 1.
was a Hat failure. A new tariff may be
made effective from the date of its pass
age although this would be snap judg
ment which would work great injustice;
but it cannot be made retractive. Im
porters, therefore have no need to le
alarmed by the silly outgivings from
Washington.
Here are some plain figures, says the
Philadelphia Tiints, that, if bourne in
mind, will help to an understanding of
the tariff question.
In the fiscal year endiug June SO,
1SIH), the revenues of the United States
were $4G3,0h,0S1, and the expenditures
$35S,61S,5S5, leaving a surplus of $105,
344,4'JG. In the anUimn of 1'.KI congress passed
"a bill to redcue the revenue and equal
ize duties on imports and for other pur
poses, known as the McKinley bill,
which had the immediate effect of re
ducing the revenues about thirty-nine
millions the first year it was in full orera
lion and by lS'J l they were reduced to
$372,302,4,.'S, a reduction fjom 18'JO of
$01 ,010,000.
This would very nearly have disposed
of the surplus; but at the same time that
congress reduced the revenues it in
creased the expenditures. These were
$57,00.000 more in 1S02 than in 1S00,
46,000,000 more in l.'S than in 1S'.2.
and 1SV4, when the receipts were but
toi me exiienaitures were
$442, 005,75s, thus converting the sur
plus of one hundred and live millions
into a deficit of $0'.,S03,270. This is
the McKinley record.
Congress then revised the tariff in the
so calles Wilson bill, under whrch the
receipts rose from $372,S02,4'.'S in 1S'J4
to $3'.H),373,203 in DS'.5 and $400,475
-H; in lb'.n, an increase in the two
years of 4$3i,";72,910. The expendi
tures Mere in the same time reduced by
about eight millions, to $434,f.7s,f54,
leaving the deficit $25,203,240.
It will I oliserved that the receipts of
1S96 were nearly fifty-one millions in
exce-s of the expenditure in 1S10. This
should make plain the humblest under
standing what is the, reason of the deli
ciency and what the remedy should le
Congress is going to work on the wrong
side of the ledger. With improving bus
iness the revenues would be ample. It
is the appropriations that need to be re
vised.
hie simcrt'-an Muwjactnrcr says
concerning the outlook in the iron and
steel trade:
Irade remains about as it was. At
no point are there any particular new de
velopments and some report trade as
rather less active than it was during the
previous week. The eastern market has
a big stock of pig iron on hand and
some large negotiations are in progress
Steel billets are a trifle lower in large
quantities. There is more activity in
sheets and bridge builders are inquiring
for material.
Structural lines are expecting some
good orders. The western market pre
sents a more encouraging appearance.
Chicago reports considerable pig iron in
sight, and an increased demand for
structural shades. Increased business
is being done in plates, but it is at a
somewhat lower price. In this market
also sheets are quite active. Cincinna
ti reports trade as being somewhat dis
appointing. The high water has in
terfered somewhat with mill operations
at that point. A better demand for
southern pig iron is reported and there
is more inquiry fur structural material
Wheeliug and Cleveland reports no
marked changes. The ore pool appears
to be in a somewhat bad shape. An
other meeting was held in Cleveland this
week but without any decisive result,
another effort toward reorganizing is to
be made but its puccess seems rather
doubful.
In the year 18C0 the cost of running
the national government ammounted to
$1.91 per capita. That was about right.
This year the cost for each man, woman
and child will average $7,16. Do you
understand now why more revenue is
wanted?
Washington Letter.
Washington, February 12th, 1S97
Mine host McKinley will not serve the
regular dessert of official pie until his
congressional boarders have eaten the
tariff and currency commission dinners
now being prepared for them, although
a few individuals who have squared
things with King Hanna will be at once
given generous slices of the lest pie in
the establishment.
Republican senators and rppresenta
tivees would like Mr. McKin!ey's plan
of making them choose th inn who
shall te appointed to oflice from their
states much better if he had not allowed
it to become generally known. They
are wiliiog enough that the men who
get the offices should give them credit
for securing them, but they do not likt
the idea of having to be held responsible
by the unsuccessful applicants. It was
a shrewd dode on the part of McKinley
and its announcement has already
brought about a marked falling off in
the number of office-seekers who seek to
push their claims by personally calling
at the White House.
While the caucus of Democratic sena
tors did not decide tne matter definitely,
it was plain from the tone of the re
marks made that a numlier of them
were opposed to the proposed combina
tion with the silver Republicans and
Populists to reorganize the senate com
mittees, tome of the shrewdest demo
crats in the senate are of the opinion
that nothing would be gained by isuch
a combination, although they are de
termined that the successor of ex-Senator
Yoorhees on the finance committee
shall be a silver Democrat, in order that
the silver men shall retain their major
ity on that committee. Senators Faulk
ner and Smith have been put ou the
Democratic steeriug committee in place
of Blackburn and Brice, and Gorman,
chairman, and Cockjill, Harris, Wal
thall, Jones, of Ark., White and Mur
phy have been reappointed as members
of that committee.
The widow of Dr. Ruiz, whose mys
terious death or murder in a Cuban
prison caused Consul General Iee to
threaten to resign if the late Cleveland
administration did not better support
his demands upon the Spanisn authori
ties in behalf of American citizens, ar
rived in Washington this week accom
piuied by her five children, to try to in
terest the new administration in her
claim for indemnity. She says she has
documentary evidence, which she is
anxious to lay before Secretary Sherman,
proving that Dr. Ruiz was killed in his
cell by the prison guards upon the in
stigation of Weyler's men. Speakin u.of
Cuban matters, the new administration
has disappointed many by issuing even
more rigid orders than those of the
Cleveland administration for the preven
tion of fillibustenng and the absolute
maintenance of neutrality. It had not,
of course, been supposed that the Mc
Kinley administration would openly
countenance tillibustering. That would
make this country liable for damages
But it was thought that the idea would
be conveyed to the officers of the naval
and of the Revenue Marine Service that
their superiors did not exject them to
break themselves down hunting f'ir tilli
busters. Republicans say the supreme
court decision in the Three Friends case
left the administration no choice.
Mr. McKinley has to have the serv
ices of a special military aid-de-camp;
at least he has them, and that duty has
been assigned to Capt. Heistand, U. S.
A , who by some hocus pocus. has been
with the McKiuley's at Canton ever
since the election. Capt. Heistand's
wife will live at the White house and le
Mis. McKinley's constant coniiwinion.
This sort of llap-doodle may le all right
in Europe, but it seems out of place in
this country. By a coincidence the last
president who had a military aid-de-was
also an Ohio man-Garfield.
Senator Harris, of Tenn., who has
leen dangerously ill with the grip, does
not exject to be able to attend the extra
session. He will go to Mississippi next
week, if he continues to get tetter, to re
main until he gets entirely well. He
will te badly missed by the Democrats.
About twenty Democrats who ought
to le snugly ensconced in presidential
postotllces find themselves in a very un
pleasant predicament just now. They
were nominated and confirmed by the
senate, but owing to delay in getting
their bonds approved by the jost office
departmsnt, Mr. Cleveland did not sign
their commissions. If Mr. McKinley
chooses he can sign these commissions,
but it is entirely discretionary with him
whether he will do so or nominate Re
publicans for the places.
Pension Commissioner Murphy is au
thority for the statement that the Mc
Kinley Inaugural ball cost the govern
ment $70,(HH in salaries paid to idle em
ployes of the pension Bureau.
On Senator Gorman's motion the cre
dentials of Mr. Wood, appointed by the
governor of Kentucky to succeed Sena
tor Blackburn, were referred to the com
mittee on elec tions, and nobody need
be surpriesd if they are never heard of
again.
After looking over the ground King
Hanna concluded he had enough to do
without antagonizing Tom Reed, so
there will be no administration candi
date for speaker of the house. m.
Claimed Mie Had killed Fire Mm.
Perry, O. T., March 13 Mrs. Clara
Omo, a western "cowloy," who claimed
to have killed five men during her caeer,
is dead at her home here, aged 50 years.
She was a Miss Martin, and was born in
New York city, moving to Eldorado,
Kan., with her parents when a child.
Her most desjerate encounter took place
in Little Black Tail cabin, near Butte,
Mont., in February. 1890, when she
killed Ed Smith. Smith found the wo
man alone, and fought her with a hunt

after ten minutes of fierce fighting won
out.

the front room at the home of his
finance, Miss Mae Hall, in this city,
at 9'clock this morning. Miss Hall was
found unconscious in her own room at
the rear of the same residence. Both
had taken carbolic acid. Miss Hall is
at Hope Hospital, where her death is
hourly expected. Mrs. Hall, mother of
the young lady, has gone to St. Paul,
Minn., to be married.
Postmasters Can Nerve Their Terms.
Washington, March 15. Postmaster
General Gary has made an announce
ment of interest to Democratic post
masters, whose terms expire on various
dates under the new administration.
He says he had decided to adhere to the
four year tenure of office policy for post
masters, except in cases where such offi
cials should be removed for cause.
While buried beneath burning coals
from his capsized locomotive, at Cole
City, Ga., Engineer T. F.Stewart begged
fireman Stewart to kill him. Both were
fatally burned.

Sing Sing X. Y. March 13 Arthur
Mayhew, a negro, was successfully elec
trocuted in the prison yesterday. May
hew made resistance when he reached
the .chair, and had to tie forced iutoit by
the keepers, where he struggled until
strapped in.
Mayhew was terribly frightened, and
appealed to the keepers with whom he
struggled not to turn on the current un
til he cried he was ready. All during
the operation of fastening him down
in the chair Mayhew cried out: "I am
not guilty; I am dying an innocent man;
John Waynes aud Frank Alberlson are
guilty." These cries weie intersersed
with "Jesus, have mercy on me! Oh.
lA)rd, God, save me!" It was a pitiful
scene.
Testimony during the trial showed
that only two men, Mayhew and John
Wayne tieiug sentenced to 15 years in
Siug Sing prison and Mayhew to death
in the electric chair.
Several lawyers here to-day taking in
to consideration the man's strong pro
testation of i n nonce and Wayne's con
fession that Mayhew was not implicated
in Powell's murder, expressed the fear
that perhaps Mayhew may have been
mistaken for Albertson, and that the
unfortunate negro wag innocent of the
crime for which lie died.
Ibe Mate Iegila1are.
Harrisburg, March 15 Three more
reform bills were introduced in the sen
ate and house. They prohibit city otli
cials and corporations from interfering
in politics, prevent iiolitical assessments.
and compel every man to pay his own
taxes A number of additional bills
were also presented. In the House, Pi
olett, of Brad ford, presented a resolution
creating a legislative committee to in
vestigate the allege discrimination in
freight charges by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company in Bradford and Wy
oming counties. The resolution was
sent to the Railroads committee. The
calendar was cleared of considerable bills
aud then the House adjourned.
The senate met shortly after 9 o'clock.
The fact that the House resolution pro
viding for an investigation of the alleged
deolorable condition of miners in the bi
tuminous district, was to come up,
caused a large attendance of memtters
and lookers on. Mr. Croyle moved to
amend the resolution by having an ad
ditional committee of live to investigate
the authracite regions. This was agreed
to by a vote of 24 to IS. The resolution
as amended was then passed finally.
A Hide With Death.
Etonton,Ga., Mar. 14 B W Hunt,
the leading banker of Putnam county,
has returned to hisliome here from Par

preventive treatment at the Pasteur in
stitute for hydrophobia. He had ieen
bitten on January 11 by a sick cat.
Suspecting the contagion of rabies he
went to New York, and upon medical
advice there took the fastest steamer to
Paris, counting the days and reaching
the institute barely within the required
period. While undergoing the 18-dav
treatment he was informed from New
York by cable that inocculation upon
other animals under supervision of the
New York Board of Health conclusively
proved that the cat had died of hydro
phobia. Mr. Hunt, who was constantly attend

but his swift llight to Euroi saved his

Hied AsLiug lor Food.
New Brunswick, N. J., March 14.
Mrs. Edward Bergunder yesterday told
Overseer Wright a pitiful tale of want
and suffering resulting in death. The
woman, whose husband died a few days
ago, lives in one room in an old house
just beyond the city limits..
Mrs. Bergunder said in telling her sto
ry: "Lately we lecame so poor that
my children and myself were frequent
ly forced to go without food for two
days at a time so that my husband
might eat. Toward the last he continu
ally lagged for food. On the dav he
died he whispered a piteous apical to me
for something to eat, but I had nothing
that he could shallow, he was so weak.
His last words almost were requests for
food."

HEADY FOR THE FIGHT.
Corbett and Fitz Reach the
Ringside.
BOTH ARE IN J00I CONDITIO.
The Callf-trnlan Weigh 18.1 rounds and
the Australian About llTi Corbrtt His
Favorite In the Melting lietweeu 4,000
and 5,000 Spectators.
Carson City, Nov.. March 17. At
this hour (10 o'clock local time and 1
o'clock eastern time) Corbett and Fitz
simmoiiH and their seconds :ire in their
dressing rooms at the ringside ready to
do battle, when called to the ring.
Corbett arose alxiut 7 o'clock, but did
no work of any kind. He held a con
ference with his trainers, at which final
instructions were given and a general
style of battle decided upon. The
start for the arena was made alout
9 o'clock, the lighter being accom
panied by Brady, White, Delaney, Mc
Vey and joe Oorlett. When Corbett
reached his dressingroom he was thor
oughly rubbed down and that ended
everything but the fighting. He will
wear no tights in the ring, fighting iu
6hort white trunks and white shoes.
He will wear in the ring the red, white
and blue belt with green trimmings
made for him by his wife, but will lay
it aside before the call of time.
White, Delaney, McVey and a fourth
man, unknown at this writing, will be
in Corbett's corner. Colviiie will be
timekeeper.
Fitzi-inimons and his party left the
house at Cook's ranch at shortly after i)
o'clock in the morning and drove di
rectly to tho arena. With him were
Julian. Hickey, ftelzner and Roeber.
These are the men who will be with
him in his corner, and no other person
was iu the carriage when they lott the
ranch. Louis Houseman of Chicago
will be timekeej)er. LTin his arrival
at the arena Fit.simmons went directly
to his dressing room, which is on the
wett side of the big frame structure,
and. after a rnb down, he was dressed
for the fight. He will wear in the ring
black shoes and green silk tights.
Around Jus waist he will have a belt
of red, white aud blue silk, the belt
having in its center an eagle with wings
outspread. The belt will, however, be
taken off as soon as the time for the
light arrives, and Fitzsimmous will
right in tho green tights alone.
They will battle for supremacy in the
presence of a crowd of several thou
sand people, jerhaps the largest num
ber that ever witnessed such an ath
letic contest. Both men are in the
pink of condition. Corbett. accord
ing to the best judges, is more perfect
physically than Fitzsimnions. They
have worked hard and long. Corbett
has tired out his trainers, while Fit a
Simmons' assistants are said to be still
fresh. Principals and others are doubt
less glad that the end is so near. Cor
bett is the favorite in the betting and
lie has been all along, but many believe
Fitzsimnions has a good chance to win.
They say it is only necessary to land
once to knock out his opoiieiit.
The truth is. perhaps, that all except
enthusiastic friends of Fitzsimmons
are controlled by the belief that he can
win only by a chance jab, and the odds
ure not large enough to induce admir
ers to bet freely on him. It is esti
mated that from 4,000 to 3,000 will see
the fight.
Corbett will enter the ring weighing
ISo jKiunds, three more than when he
fought Mitchell. It is believed Fitz
sinimons will weigh in at 105 rounds,
although Julian said that he would be
heavier than that, or letween 1 To and
ISO," Julian said very plainly that Fitz
simnions would not concede more than
12 pounds to Corbett.
Mitchell is forward with a challenge
to fight the winner. Uoddard has al
ready challenged and it is supposed
that Maher, Sharkey and "Denver Ed"
Smith will also issue challenges and
maybe John L. Sullivan. Mitchell
challenges either the winner or Sullivan.
Julian and Stuart patched up their
differences in some way regarding the
photograph exhibition profits.
EUROPE OUGHT TO RETALIATE.
A French Paper Comments I'pon Me
Kinlev'a Tariff Poller.
Paris. March 17. La Liberte, com
menting upon President McKinley's
tariff policy, says :
The European governments ought
not to hesitate. They must anticipate
these bad intentions by reprisals. The
United States has greater need of Eu
rope than Europe has of the United
States, for the latter produces no article
which is unobtainable elsewhere. A
crisis of overproduction would be fatal
to the United States, where the springs
of credit are already stretched to the
utmost and where everything is at ficti
tious and inflated values. In a few days
the whole structure would collapse."
