NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
The leaders in the House have
formulated tentative plana for tba
passage of th Payne tariff bill and
unless these plans miscarry tbe mea
sure will be voted on about April
15th. Mr. Payne's hopes are that
the general debate will be allowed to
run until next Wednesday, when a
rule will be presented providing for
ten day'a debate under tbe five mln
ute rule ; then three days to be con
aussed In the consideration of aad
vote upon amendments. .. Republi
can leadwa realise of course thai th
rule must contain aom restriction
upon amendment if th bill is to be
disposed of before the late summer.
Th present indications are that
there will be no united opposition to
the bill aa a whole,
President Taf t baa told tha mem
ber of his cabinet that he expects
each to assume all responsibility for
and exercise supreme control over
hia department, and that eaoli bead
of a department will be held respon
sible for the conduct of that depart
ment. He baa emphasized the faot
that he wants results and has assured
the membera of his . official family
that they are f rea to select their own
assistants without personal orpolitl
onl assistance from tbe White House.
Mr. Talt thinks it would be unjust
for bim to hold his cabinet of9set!
r. sponsible for results should he, lor
political reasons, dictate the men on
whose assistance they must rely for
the success of their respective de
psHments. While assistant seer
tury and similar officers are 'Presi
dential officers" tbe President has
indicnted his intention of exercising
this prerogative only in appointing
men desired by tbe department
beada. As a result of this policy,
Members of Congress and that por
tion of the publio which haa to deal
Ith federal appointments, will sooa
find that they muet deal directly
with the .department heads, if they
wish things accomplished, instead of
carrying every reqnest and every
dum'pnfinf to "th "WhitelIon"aT lu
this way the President hopes to find
more time for the important sffdlre
of tbe government.
The ene question constantly asked
at tbe Capitol, In every informal
discussion ot th tariff is, will the
Payne bill raise a auffloiect amount
of revenue? and tbe question of ad
ditlonal revenue Is causing tbe 1
ders in both Housas of Cnngreta no
little uneasiness. Th Inheritance
tax, a possible Income tax and the
duty on tea are all critioised and ob
looted to, There teems to be a strong
sentimant in the Rouse for the re-
oval of th duty on tea and lti re
placement by an additional fifty
oents a barrel oa beer. A nnmber of
representative ar eudeavorlng to
organise a movement to demand a
vote n this question ; and doubtless
all representatives from prohibition
district will join In such a move-
mint. The suggestion is frequently
nada, and meets with favor, that tbe
beet way to inoreas the Treasury
balance ia te at down tba annual
expenditures.
At bis own request President Ttft
hts been eleoted a member of the
Legal Aid Society. Ex President
Roosevelt baa been one of the vloe

among others are Governor Hughes,

Naw York City many years ago, and
its ohief purpose is to provide attor
aeys free of oharge for poor persons
nnder arrest or indiotment' who
prove after a careful investigation to
be in need of counsel.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma haa
introduced three rucasuies in tLe
Senate whjch are considered" typical
of political and economic theught in
that state. One is a bill to author
ize national banks to conform to the
laws ef any atate where deposits in
atate banks are guaranteed ; another
la a joint resolution to provide by
oastltatieaal amendment for the
popular election of United States
Senators, while the third provides
-(-for an amendment to the oonstitu
tion to authorise the national gov
eminent to levy an income tax.
At the request of the Maritime
League of New York, Senator Depew

Coal First Uattont4
Th first meatloar of coal in th
oaal of mankind ocean in th
Bible, Proverbs 96 : I where Is said.
"As coals Br to burning oo! and
wood to fire, so is contentions man
to kindle strife. " This waa written
boat 1011 B. C. when King Sol
omon came Into power. Part of hi
dominion waa In Syria, and ancient
coal mines arc worked In th coun
try to this day.
Years before th Christian Ira
coal was in common us In China.
Marco Polo apnaki of seeing in 127S
"a kind of blaok stone in Cathay that
lsasedtoburn better than wood.''
Coal In the United States wss first
mentioned by tbe French Jesuit
missionary. Hennepin who in 1679
wrote of traoea of ooal on the banks
of the Illinois rivet and also located
a coal mine near Richmond, Va. In
17CS anthracite wss discovered In
the Wyoming valley and a sample
was sent to the Penes in London.

N. H. Brown, an attorney of Pitts-
