. .Washington, March 11. Tariff dis
cussion in the house today was more
.. than usually interesting, and there were
several lively passages, which forcibly
'," reminded one of the fierce political
. . scenes of the past congress when this
all-absorbing issue was at the front.
The speeches of today on both sides
were well fortified and listened to with
a great deal of attention by the mem
bers. There was the somewhat unique
. spectacle of tLe largest individual woolen
manufacturer in the United States argu
ing in favor of the free wool bill pre
sented, when Stevens, of Massachusetts,
took the floor in support of the Springer
bill. ' The democrats paid close attention
to his remarks, greeting his arguments
with applause. No less flattering was
the attention paid Montgomery, of Ken
- tucky, and the colloquies in which he
became engaged during the day showed
him an able defender of the work of the
committee. Brookshire, of Indiana,
took occasion in the course Of his speech
to denounce the so-called reciprocity
scheme of the republican party as a
snare. Kay, of New York, the chief
republican orator of the day, succeeded
in provoking more than the usual
partisan strife, and it looked for a time
as though his altercation with Repre
sentative Meredith, of Virginia, might
surpass parliamentary bounds. Kay
had been interrupted frequently by
Meredith, finally saying: "The gentle
man will not make me Ungry by intima
ting I lie,"' said Ray laughingly. "
have held too many combats with the
democratic party and individual mem
bers thereof to be frightened. I was'not
brought up in the woods to be scared by
an owl." "That's an old chestnut,"
was Meredith's only response. Coombs,
of New York, followed for free wool
The committee rose and the house took
recesa until 8 o'clock this evening.
Telegi aphtc Flashes.
Two years ago A. B. Gillespie, the
postmaster at Rock Creek, - Wyoming,
- almost murdered a man who criticised
"his service. Saturday C. B. Griffin, a
..waterworks employe, complained be
cause Gillespie refused to hand out his
family mail to him; Griffin was ordered
.oat of the place, but before he reached
the door his head was smashed in by
the postmaster with an iron bludgeon.
Gillespie is in jail, and tw, surgeons are
working over his victim.
The mine horror near . Brussels was
augmented by fire on Saturday, and all
. hope of rescuing the imprisoned miners
has been abandoned. The fire shot
through the shaft in an immense col
nmn, with tremendous roar, illuminat
ing the country around for a great dis-
' tance, and destroying surrounding build
ings by the heat which soon spread into
a consuming conflagration. All the
heavy machinery at the mouth of the
pit was destroyed, and fell crashing
down the shaft. .
Colonel A. K. McClure, of the Phila-
- delphia Times, in a conversation in
Charleston, S. C, says Hill cannot be
nominated. If he were, every Northern
state would help to defeat him. He
would have the largest majority against
him in New York of any state. The
only possible achievement of the Hill
movement is to defeat Cleveland, and
- even that might not be successful.
Suit has been filed in New Orleafts on
behalf of the heirs of one of the Italian
Mafia, who assassinated Chief of Police
Henessey, against W. O. Parkinson and
others, claiming damages of $100,000,
for killing one of the brigands in the
Prrish prison a year ago. This is a
specimen of Italian - Mafia modesty.
- They should ask more.
Secretary Blaine's condition is so pre
carious that many of his best friends
admit that he must soon retire from the
cabinet. As soon as he is able to travel
he will go south, and remain until the
season opens at Bar Harbor.
' Beading; Deal Ratified.
Tkbntok, N. J., March 11. The bill
ratifying the Reading railroad combina
tion has passed the senate and now goes
to the governor. -
Springer ImproTinc;.
Washington, March 11. Kepresen'ta-
live Springer passed another good night,
and the improvement in bis condition
till continues.
Oil On Troubled Waters.
Washington, : March 14. Senator
Sherman expressed himself Saturday in
a private conversation on the Behring
sea controversy. As he is chairman of
the senate committee on fore ign relations
his views may be taken as oil to soothe
the troubled waters. He says: "I re
gard the treaty now pending with the
highest favor. It is an example of ar
bitration, which ought to be adopted in
controversy with two countries boundby
so many ties as Great Britain and tbe
United States. War or even contention
between them for a. cause so trival as
one year's fishing for seals would be a
crime against civilization. Manifiestly,
it is the interest and desire of each to
preserve the Alaskan seal fisheries from
destruction by Canadian poachers. The
cupidity of a few vessel-owners, pending
arbitration, threatens to disturb the
peace and amity of two great nations,
Diplomacy ought to be able to provide
some modus vivendi during the present
season. It may be unpleasant and un
gracious for Great Britain to resiet by
her ships and sailors the reckless acts of
a few of her subjects, for whose conduct
Lord Salisbury disclaims any reeponsi
bility, but we are under no such re
straint and are able to prevent such
poaching on the rights that we pur-
chassed of Russia, and which Russia and
the United States have openly aeserted
and enjoyed for 100 years."
Circuit Judges to be Confirmed.
Washington, March 14. It is thought
that Senator Hoar, chairman of the
judiciary committee of the senate, will
be well enough to attend a meeting of
his committee today, at which time
they are to take up the nomination of
the circuit judges, made some time ago,
and probably act one way or the other
upon them. There is no opposition of
any moment to any of the judges except
Judge Woods, of Indiana. The opposi
tion to him is mostly of a partisan
stripe, although it is said that some
very serious charges have been filed, of
which the republican members feel the
necessity of taking some notice. There
is some opposition manifested to Judge
McCormick, of Texas, but it is not seri
ous enough to affect the action of the
committee. There is no doubt of the
quick confirmation of W. B. Gilbert, of
the ninth.
Democratic Caucus Tomorrow.
Washington, March 11. A democratic
caucus will be held tomorrow evening for
the purpose of electing a congressional
campaign committee.
Mexican Capitol Burned.
El Paso, Tex., March 11. The capi
tol in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico,
was partly burned Wednesday.
The Walla Walla local alliance has
sent a pretest to the Washington dele
gation against the proposal to reduce
the dutv on barley. These brothers
naturally think that American farmers
should have the privilege of raising their
own. barley without competition trom
the cheaper Canadian product, and they
are right. .
JIM'S STORY.
I tell you plain. If I don't try
To brace myself right Hrm I'll cry.
This soft triad anil this liaztt and sail.
And the gold and red tlmt melt and ran
And splash the hills: mid she not here
Tosay things about thedyinu year!
Didn't 1 tell you? Oh. 1 see.
Tbey called her i)ora, all but me:
For she was a delicate lady born.
And I. well, I was buskin corn.
So 1 called her Miss. She was stayin here
For the country air the heft of the year.
Sometimes she'd sit out under a tree
And watch the hired man work, that's ran.
But she got so frail-like along in the fall
That she didn't weigh noihin. wraps and all.
And the women folks got me to lend a hand
.Movin her out in the sun to lie tanned.
That's what they said, but she didn't seem
To care about jukin: just wanted to dream
And look at tbe foliage, gold and red.
On the bills, and talk about bein deadl
Cheerful? Well, do: not exactly that;
But 1 used to potter around where she sat.
Just watchin her, sort of, auder the rim
Of my hat, an wishin she'd call me JimI
Ever have that feelinf Well. I never cared
For a girl that was welt, but if I'd dared
I'd a-told her how it made we thrill
Wheu I stole a look at her, sittin so still
And hold in the red leaves in her hands,
Quotin some song about lotus tands.
Some place where it's always afternoon.
In a voice that was soft and sweet as a tune.
And so I just listened from under the rim
Of my hat, sort o' wishin she'd call me JimI
That kind of girls ain't fer such as me.
Nor fer nobody else's fer's 1 can see;
Fer they jist creep into a hired man's heart
When the leaves turn red and the brown burrs
part;
And then when it snows and the skies are lead
And it's still in the boose, you know who's
dead!
I've no right to murmur, but somehow yet.
Try as hard as 1 may, I can never forget
How I thrilled when her white band touched
my arm;
And now when the trees are red on the farm
Sometimes I listen from under the rim
Of my hat, sort o' wishin she'd called me JimI

Why at Singer Didn't Sing. .
A Bangor man said there was no so
prano at his church on a recent Sunday.
When ail explanation was asked he said
that "Saturday night the soprano had a
dream, in which an angel appeared and
told her that the Lord wanted her to
sing anthem No. 66 Sunday.
"She got mad and said she wouldn't
be bossed by anybody, and so she staid
away from church." Bangor Commer

HEARINGS ARE CLOSED
Tbe Board of Engineers Dressed Down
' to a Fine Point
COMBATTED BY MR. HERMANN.
Effort to Leave out an Important Oregon
' , Appropriation.
TUK COQC1XK.K CASK BC1TED.
Mr. Hermann Shows That the Board of
Engineers are not Infallible
Oregon all Bight.
Washington,' March 14. It is now
known that farther hearings, from dele
gates sent to the capital to urge this or
that appropriation, before the committee
of the house on great waterways pro
jects, is closed. The first practical con
sideration of the bill by tbe committee
was held on Saturday. Of coarse the
public are not advised of what occurred,
but enough is known to give Oregon
ians in Washington to understand that
the most important parts relating to
the Columbia river are preserved.
Representative Hermann has contested
every point in the interest of Oregon,
inch by inch, and one of the committee
has said to an Oregonian that "Oregon
is all Eight." It has leaked out that
he rather sharply criticized the board of
engineers Saturday, when the committee
proposed to leave out the appropriation
for the -Siuslaw, upon an estimate
that the project would require at least
$300,000. As such a large sum could not
pass congress where the commerce is so
limited as at Siuslaw, the committee
thought best upon the engineers show
ing to reject Siuslaw -entirely. This
brought out a most earnest protest from
Mr'. Hermann, and a long discussion
followed. Mr. Hermann, with, much
feeling, antagonized the engineer's con
clusions and demonstrated how in the
case of the Coquille river in Oregon, a
larger waterway and more .difficult to
control at its entrance, only $10,000 was
first appropriated, and that this sum
not only purchased the plant but ex
tended the work toward the sea in spite
of the engineer's report, and that for
three different congresses no appropria- j
tion ' exceeded $10,000. He also cited I
the reports to show the remarkable re
suits at once obtained. He criticized
the engineers for their unnecessary es
timates, which in many ways acted as a
discrimination, and, when brought np
in congress, . produced a prejudice
against tbe Siuslaw. He demanded fair
treatment for all, and after his argument
was concluded, on motion of Gen
Catchings, of Mississippi, the action of
the committee was reconsidered ' and
Siuslaw was retained for continued ap
propriation. ' It is a victory to retain it
in the bill.
Vomeu'i Luncheons.
It is noticeable that at the luncheon
rooms of the several . woman's - ex
changes, as well as at several of the res
taurants in the shopping districts, broken
orders are possible. This is especially
true of the menus of the exchanges,
which are managed by women solely
for women. It is a concession to an ac
cepted -fact that women ordering and
eating alone greatly-dislike to pay for a
mouthful more than can be consumed.
One croquette, a half serving of salad,
chocolate without bread these are some
of the ways a woman adjusts her bill to
her appetite. New York-Tunes.

"Dull, I'm glad to report."
