THE NEW
TARIFF BILL.
The President's Friends Urging Him
to Sign it at Once.
THE STEERING COMMITTEE.
Considering: What Shall be Done With
the Supplemental Tariff Bills
Passed by the House.
Washington, Aug. 15. The tariff bill
9 exnected to reach the president some
time tomorrow, after whloh he will have
until a week from next Tuesday if ho de
sires in which to consider it bofore return
ing it to the senate. It can be stated with
almost absoluta certainty that the bin
will become a law, either by the presi
dent's siKnatiiro or by his retaining it ten
Ways without action, the presumption be
ing largely In favor of the latter alterna
tive. The president has repeatedly told
his friends that ho could not sign the bill,
but many ot his closest personal and po
litical friends have urged him to sign the
Jblll without delay. Several reasons were
jnrged, among them the fact that the
opening ot tall trade was close at uanu
and that a delay of ten days might result
in serious loss of customs revenue.
i Another reason stated was that congress
jwns extremely anxious to adjourn. With
jbers had been in constant attendance for
nver u mar. nnd It was rertresented that
now that their work was practically ac-
'pomplishcd it would be hardly fair tc
compel them to remain here in ldlenes
when no positive Rood could be nccoin-
Jpllshed thereby, lie was advised to for-
sec nis scruples in mo mmier, siuu vut
,blll, and return it with a message which
would leave no room for doubt as to his
Views thereon.
It is estimated that during the next ten
ays thetreceipts from internal revenue
probably will amount to betwoen $10,000,
000 and $15,000,000, and the government
twill lose the Increased whlBKy tax to mis
extent. In view of the depleted condition
pf the treasury this argument probably
will have weight with the president. It is
'known, though, that up to this time the
ipresident has not changed his determina
tion to permit tne oil! to oecome a law uy
retaining It the necessary ten days with
out action.
I The Democratic lenders of the senate
bave occupied a considerable portion ol
the day in trying to determine what course
to pursue with reference to the supple
jmentnl tariff bills. The Democratic steer
,1ns committee was in session for twe
.hours yesterday after the senate adjonrned
(trying to determine upon the most advis
able policy, under the circumstances, and
iprevious to the meeting tho conservative
.senators had a consultation on the same
isubiect.
It is understood that the conservatives
ladvocate the reference of tho bills to thi
.finance committee, while tho steering
committee Is apparently somewhat di
Vided on the question. Appearances all
indlcato, however, that a largo majority
,of the Democratic senators would like to
'have the bills passed if they could feel as
sured that their passage would not re
duce tho governmental revenues to too
great an extent. The interest in these
frills, as in tho main tariff bill, Is iu the
juiKiir question, and it is to the frco HUgai
,bill that they are giving their principal
;atten4on. There la an evident tendency
on tho part of a majority of Democratic
.senators toward amending the sugar bill
'so as to make It a rovenuo bill pure and
.simple. A leading member of the steer
ing committee expressed the opinion that
,a duty of 25 oriiOper cent, on sugar would
afford all tho rovenuo from that source
.that would be needed.
! It would appear that, so far, tho onlj
definite arrangement Is for the discussion
of tho bills at today's session. It would
bj Impossible, in the face of a Bingle ob
jection, to force the bills to a third read
lug today and It Is probable that a large
ptrt of tho day will bo given up to debate
o i a motion to rofer to committee. This
will serve to develop tho real intentions o
'jo Itepubllcuns toward the bills and
p oial ly to develop what differences there
mny bo in the Democratio party.
. What little interest there was in the
.proceedings of congress yesterday cen
tered In the senate, the house not being
'in session. The only event of note was the
reception of the four special bills passed
!by the house Monday night, putting coal,
'Iron ore, sugar and barbed wire on the
'free list. These were laid before the sen
'ate and read once, their second rending
being objeoted to. Mr. II111 offered an
.amendment to each of these bills, provid
dug for the repeal of the iuoome tax.

gensatlonal Ending of trie Murder Charge
Against Hra. nayea.
ClllCAGO.Auc. 15. The most sensattona
development in the Mlnard poisoning
ease, which has Increased In interest at
leach hearing, occurred yesterday after
noon. iMlword O'Urlcn, the attorney pros
ecuting Mrs, Melltnerv Haves for the al
leged murder of her son-in-law, W. O.
Mlnard, charged the lawyer for tho de
fense, W. S. Cummings, with an attempt
to procuro perjured evidence In behalf ol
bis client.
The charge of murder against Mrs.
Hayes was dismissed on motion of the
Srosocution at tho closo of the afternoon
earing. When Attorney Edward O'Urlen,
for the prosecution, failed to put on the
stand Professor Salisbury, who had made
n sclentlflo examination of W. O. Mtnard'i
stomach for poison, and entered a nolle
prosso in the case, Attorney W. S. Cum
mings, for the defense denounced O'Brien
and Detective C II. Wiggins, who hail
given damaging testimony against the de
fense. "This wholo prosecution was a cooked
up affair, and O'Brien was nnd is at the
bottom of tho affair," shouted Attorney
Cummings. "Why don't yon put youi
chemist on the stand f We dare you to do
It. We demand that he be put on the
stnnd and we will prove by him that there
was enough arsenla found In the organs
of W. C. Mlnard to kill fifty men. it
was put there after the body was ex
humed, we could also show that Pro
fessor Salisbury was approached with an
offer to tell a story on tho stand which
was manufactured. Why did you not
put him on the Btandr
"Because within tho last twenty-foui
hours we learned that too much arsenic
bad been found in the remains. How it
got there, we have no means of knowing,'
said Attorney O Brien.
After some hot wrangling between the
attorneys the case was dismissed by the
court.
Tha Claim Against Stanford's Estate.
Wasuinoton, Aug. 15. There is rea
son to believe that the government's
claim against the estate of ex-Senator Ice
land Stanford will be tested in the courts
before there has been any actual default
In the payments. Attorney General Ul
ney's notlco to tho executrix of the gov
ernment's claim. haslnterfered somewhat
with the closing up of tho estate, and
may result in the closing up of the uni
versity. Under these conditions the at
torney general proposed that If the ex
ecutrix would waive any right she might
have by reason of the premature bringing
ot the suit he would gladly consent to
havo proceedings begin at once. It is be
lieved that no objection will bo made to
that course.

of the
MAJOR LOSCH'S FUTURE !
Prediction That the Bald-Headed
Statesman's Loyalty Will Carry Him
to the Front Ranks Before Lone;.
Spcci&l IIkuald correspondence. ,'
Pottsville, Aug. li. The Republican
conventions nre over, the delegates have
pressed the buttons, nnd the voters at
large must now do tho rest. Much has
been snid concerning this aud that candi
date, prognostications have been numer
ous (the majority being wide of ttS&nark)
and the pyrotechnical vocal dlsptjfjs have
been dazzling, but the delegates have
withstood them all. Most of the predic
tions were undermined by the exposure of
the plans of certain combinations which
went out of business.
I resret the defeat of certain candidates
because I know they were worthy men,
yet I must admit that all the nominees
on the Republican tUket are nlso -worthy
and will receive the united support ot the
party. Some mny differ with me on this,
because i nave nearu it saui tnat one oi
the nominees will fall an easy victim to
the Democratic candidate, but that does
not niter my opinion. I believe that time
will niako the ticket stronger than it is
even to-day.
I supposed at oue time that all the
cuckoos were In tho Democratic ranks,
but I have learned thnt In this 1 was mis
taken. Not many days since there were
several loud-mouthed Republicans who
declared they would bo to bait lafce
before they would swallow this or that
man, but when other opposition to the
man they denounced loomed up tho loud
mouthed people wilted nnd swallowed the
medicine, nauseous as it was, and were
tho first to desert new friends and again
go to tho rescue of those they had so
vehemently condemned. But such is the
nature of politics.
In nominating Hon.Chnries N. Brumm,
of Minersville, tho Republican conven
tion nuuerea to tne wisucs oi tne people.
This wns clenrlv shown bv the primaries.
but In saying tuis l no not wisu to ue
understood ns saying thnt the other can
didates would not have filled the bill.
Mr. Losch has been roundly abused, but
I am convinced he deserved it less than
other ReDUblicnns who have been fre
quently rewarded In tho recent past. And
I will also say that were the wholo truth
known it would perhaps be discovered
that Sir. Losch had excellent reasons for
klckiutr. It is my firm belief that ho Is
still as true aud loyal a Republican as
any m the country, aim it may ue de
pended upon thnt be will bo found at the
iront next Inn uniinngior nisoiu enemy,
llruinm. aud tho wholo ticket. I w ill
also predict that it won't bo long before
Losch Is nt the head or tue itcpuuucnn
party in this county again.
Tho nomination of Orme, Schrluk nnd
Stuck for tho Assembly from this dis
trict over Harine. Ouu '. Ooxennd others,
was somewhat surpriiug. Coxo's name
was not mentioned in the convention.
Ho evidently forirot to uet some friend to
shout It nt the proper time.
Hon. J. J. Covle's nomination in the
SOth district with so little onnnsition was
a surprise to many down this Way. It was
expected that there would be an eleventh
nour nstonisner tnat wouiu aoomtueex-
liepresentatlye. Kantner evidently was
not as stroutr as some thoucht he was.
The opposition presented a very weak
plant irom so mucu quiet garuemng.
With so much kicking in Shenandoah
nnd Mnhanoy City outsiders were Justified
in lndulcinL? in trreat expectations.
Mr. Covin's friends must not think thnt
gentleman" will have a walkover In his
contest with Mr. King. The latter gen
tleman has won more than one campaign
and has many luiluentinl friends among
the Republicans who will no doubt do a
turn for him. It is true Mr. Coyle will
receive many Irish-Democratic votes, but
he will need n great many to make his
election certnin. Mr. King is as wlley as
he is stroutr. and the Republicans will
have to hustlo to elect Mr. Coyle, and not
depend upon tho lntter's pull from the
other side.
There is a lively sentiment in favor of n
change in the metnou oi tue itepuouoan
tinrtv of this county for nomlnntine can
didates and the establishment of the
Crawford county system. The system
would no doubt meet with popular favor,
ns It would do away witli the election of
delegates nnd the people could vote
directly for their choice. It would save
annoyance, bickerings and money and
has long been declared the only fair and
safe system In existence.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Summer Travel Is Swelling- the Treasur
ies of the Several Lines.
The excursion season has not been so
lively for many years and the railroad
companies ought to make money this
year.
Baltimore will tiv to beat the World'i
Fair in lb07 and the railroad companies
propose to profit by the many mistakes
mntie last vear.
We hear little concerning railroad
strikes now. It will take many dollars
from the taxpayers to make good the loss
sustained by tue railroad companies in
the West.
One by one the old employes of the Lo-
nigu v alley itanroau, uurreu out uy tuo
strike, are settlnc back to their old places.
The travel to Niagara Falls this year Is
very ttratlfylng to the Lehigh Valley
Railroad management. The company
win reap a big Harvest.
The lteadintr Railroad Company will
probably be re-organlzed before the close
of the vear and taken out of the hands ot
the Receivers. Everything is working
favorably in that direction.
RAILWAYS AND PARKS.
Chit Chat About Affairs Interesting: to
the Reading: Public.
"If tho Philadelphia & Reading Rail
road was in the hands of tho Pennsylva
nia officials," said nn ex-railroad man
yesterday, "it might not bo long beforo
payments could be made ou,tue P. & IU
company's Indebtedness." The remark
was inspired by tho complaint of a ship
per that it had recently taken the P. & R.
railroad live days to haul a car ot coal
from near Mt. Caruiel to n point on the
Catawlssa division. "Tho Pennsylvania
company," he continued, "operate on the
principal that turning wheels are earn
ing money. A report of the arriving
time of each car is made from division
points every twelve hours. If n car is
side-tracked some one responsible for tho
delay is required to tell n superior official
why, and this makes every ynrdmnster
anxious to have the car get out of his ter
ritory before the wheels are cold. Iu this
wny one car kept active for five days will
make as much for Its owner ns five others
that are allowed to occupy five davs In
making n ono-dny trip and the putchaso
ot a great quantity of rolling stock is
made unnecessary."
Enough money has been spent in mak
ing nnd repairing smnll parks in districts
adjacent to Shenandoah to equip one
beautiful pleasure resort that would at
tract visitors and picnic parties the sum
mer ronnu. ione oi tne new or tne om
arks have drawn from the popularity of
.akeside. although the Columbia and
Hitch Point places, for instance, are as
rich in natural beauty, nearer, easier and
cheaper to reach than tho Junction resort.
But these places lack one thing a pretty
sheet ot water, n big attraction In Itself.
A small lake besiue tome woouea uook,
made attractive by boats, swings, a danc
ing pavilion, flying horses and a small
uanu, nnu easily accessible uy cars irom
Mahanoy City and Shennndonb, would
draw crowds every nigh t during the wnrm
season nnd could bo made profitable from
the refreshments sold, or n five-cent ad
mission. Tho railway companies would
be heavy earners nnd to them the project
really belongs. Tumbling Run, with less
population to drnw from than Shenan
doah nnd Mahanoy City, is making lots
of money for Its lessors nnd the railway.
General Manaccr Ash. of the Schuyl
kill Traction Company, hns the park
scheme in view for next summer, but the
location is most too far from Mahanoy
Cltv nnd Shenandoah nnd lacks the lake.
The proposed site is on the hill top be
tween Jioimesvine nnu lilt; Mine nun. it
is high, clean and airy, with muchfoilace.
and is f reo from mine breeches. Features
will be merrv-co-rouuds. music nnd free

The Schuylkill Traction Company will
be enulpped with new aud iinnrovetf open
cars next spring. The old cars will La
renovated aud all pointed a rich, dark
blue. The road may then receive tha
nrlstocratlc title of "Blue Line." A sys
tem of curves near Holmesvillehave beeu
replaced by one curve of greater radius
that lies several yards back from the em
bankment, allowing an lncrensed speed
and adding to safety In travel.
KERR'S RECEPTION.
The State Councilor of the Jr. 0. U. A.
II. Coming- Here.
Present indications point to a largo
gathering in Ferguson's Theatre on Fri-
lay evening, next. On that occasion
William T. Kerr, of Pittsburg, who is aC
the head of tho Jr. Order United Amer
ican Mechanics of this stnte, will appear
before a Shenandoah audience for tho
first time. He will be accompanied by C.
N. Raymond, of Middletowu, whom Mr.
Kerr succeeded as State Councilor. Both
these geutJemen nre eloquent and fluent
speakers, and ou their present tour of the
stnte are greeted everywhere by largo
aud enthusiastic audiences. Mr. Kerr's
prominence Is accounted for in a groat
meosure by the stnnd he took In the nubilo
school controversy ut Pittsburg nnd
Galitzen, where he secured injunctions
prohibiting nuns wearing the gnrb of
their religion from teaching in tha
schools.
Besides speeches bv these two leaders ot
the order, tho program will Include selec
