A Congress Which Proposes to do as Little as Possible, WasHinagToN, Feb. —The Reed tariff’ bill is apparently as dead as a last year’s bird nest, and it was killed by Republican Senators at that. scheme of the high tariff’ Republican Senators was to take up the free coin- age substitute for the tariff bill, which was reported to the Senate from the Finance committee, vote that substi- tute down with the aid anti-silver Democrats, and then with the aid Populists to pass the tariff bill without amendment. But it struck a snag in the shape of a Republican revolt as | soon as the very first move to carry it | and the revolt led Rzpublican | 17. of i out was made, was by the Chairman National Committee—( of Mon- tana, who with three other silver R publican Senators voted against tak-| ing up the tariff bill.

Calhoun to the present C ation, Mr. Talbert effectually squelched him by remark- | ing that he was glad that Canada had been heard from—Hardy was born in Canada, and did not serve in the U ion army. Later Mr. Talbert took oc- casion to say that he had noticed that those who had taken no part in the war were loudest in their proclama- tion of patriotism and their denuncia- tions of those who had fought against the Union, and amid the laughter of the House he quoted the expression that “those who are invincible in time of peace are generally invisible in time of war.” Secretary Herbert gave the Housa Committee on Naval affairs the fit of the knowledge he has acquired during his long service on that com- mittee and since he became Secretary of the Navy, at the last meeting of the committee. He stated without quali- fication that the United States can to- day beat the world in the building of warships so far as efficiency goes, al- though it has not quite distanced all countries in the race to lower the price of construction, but he believes it will in the near future. Already we are building warships cheaper than either France or Germany has been able to do, and almost gs cheap as Great Brit ain does, Mr, Herbert told the com- mittee that in addition to the specific recommendations in his annual report, he was in favor of any aod all proper methods of strengthening our Navy. While it is generally recognized that Senator Quay’s candidacy for the Re- publican presidential nomination was announced solely for trading purposes, some of the friends of the other eandi- dates are afraid of him, They know his ability as a political schemer and they are afraid that he may be able to sneak that nomination for himself. A Republican who has before given me correct information concerning moves made by Quay says of his latest: HQuay is trying to bring Reed to terms. He is for Reed and has so de- clared himself to Reed, but for onee he found out that he committed himself too soon, for when he wished Reed to give him certain promises the Maine tables ve ry Hicely Hardy, of Ind., 0 saving som lo on resent i i i § 0 goad | Pi ed t + more o Mr. Hardy had used up his stoe arolinians m int ng about | wrolina, | abusing South h mgressional deleg ie n- bene. adroitly dodging.

With { vote behind him he will compel Reed { to voluntarily make him all and more promises than would have at first sat- isfied him, or he will make a with some other candidate, and Tom Platt is in the same boat with Quay.” Pennsylvania's dicker yy THE ATLANTIC COAST-LINE New York Florida Special at the Service of the Traveling Pablie, The Atlantic Coast Line, via Rich- mond, Va., has again placed at the service of the traveling public the cel- ebrated “New York-Florida Special.” Here is one of the triumphs of rail- of luxu- only Exelu- Resorts the South in perfect and with ease One night soston and Florida, posed of Dining, Sleeping, Library A perfect road- bed running through a section of the WEALTH IN PHOSPHATE ROCK.
