AN EARLY VOTE.

Chairman Wilson Looks for Action on the Tariff

PERFECTING

Soon.

PLANS

FOR THE FIGHT.

While the House Is Eipeotud to Aul Promptly, the Bill May Meet with Serious Obstacle. In the Senate —incomes May Be Taxed.

TALK ON TOT TARIFF MEASURE. WABHINOTOJT, NOT. 2#.—"While we have no exact programme, it seems to me we ought to reach a vote on the tariff about the middle of January." This was the statement of Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, and author of the Wilson tariff bilL "We will probably not begin work on the tariff as soon as congress assembles," continued Mr. Wilson, "as some time will be needed, perhaps several dayB, to prepare the majority and minority reports. But there will be no lagging. Tho purpose is to push the measure as fast as possible and yet to give every fair consideration of courtesy to the minority."

Will Push the Bill to a Vote. Mr. Wilson's plan of pushing the measure after due courtesy has been shown to the minority of the committee indicates that the tariff fight will be short and sharp in the house. While some of the members are sanguine enough to hope that a vote may be reached before Christmas the better judgment agreed with the chairman that a vote will not be taken before the middle or latter part of January. Mr. Wilson has the advatage of an overwhelming democratic majority, which will be influenced largelyby President Cleveland's determined support of the bill. Speaker Crisp is also prepared to assist Mr. Wilson in every way to push the bill to an early vote.

It will be at least ten days after congress opens next Monday before the voice of the tariff orator is heard. The majority report is far advanced, as parts of it were written during the discussion of the various schedules. Hut the minority report cannot be reudy for some days, as the minority members did not see the bill until Monday. When the reports are in Mr. Wilson will probably ask that a day for closing debate shall be agreed upon in advance. For this purpose he will Bubmit a special rule allowing four or five weeks for debate and fixing the day and the hour when the voting on the specitic items will begin. This voting by schedules and items will consume several days, and after that the date and hour will be fixed for the final vote on the bill as a whole.

Crisp Will Help In the House. Mr. Wilson will have little difficulty in securing the passage of his special rule, as President Cleveland has assurances from Speaker Crisp and the committee on rules that any rule desired to expedite the vote will be favorably reported. The canvasses thus far made ot the house leave little or no doubt a-, to the passage of the bill in about thejiliape that Chairman Wilson desires. There will be quite a number of changes and corrections to which the chairman will agree, as he recognizes that haste in preparing the bill has occasioned some mistakes.

Obrititcle. ti» Ment in the Senate. The real struggle of the tariff bill will occur when it reaches the senate. The first step will be to refer the bill to the finance committee. This is made up of six democrats and five republicans. It is the general belief, however, that Senators Voorhees and McPherson, democratic members of the committee, are inclined toward moderation in reforming the tariff. It is said that Senator McPherson has already begun work on an independent tariff bill, which he will submit as a substitute for the Wilson bill. One democratic vote in the committee will turn the scale against the Wilson bill and in favor of the substitute. At any event it is expected that the bill will emerge from the finance committee with innumerable changes of rates from those fixed by the ways and means committee. Another obstacle in the senate will bo the small democratic majority which exists there. This is not more than six senators and, counting the populists, who are in favor of a reduction in tariff rates, is nine. This margin is ex'tremely small when local interests of certain democratic senators may incline them to support various protective amendments.

Debate M»y Be Lengthy.

There is no limit to debate, as the country learned during the recent financial struggle in the senate, so that the minority may protract the tariff debate for many months. There is a possibility of a cloture rule, although the effort to adopt such a rule would cause a debate as protracted as the one on the tariff. In the end the senate will undoubtedly pass the tariff bill, after making many changes and modifications.

Talk on the Tariff.

Experts are now very busy dissecting the new tariff bill. The republicans, of course, oondemn it from beginning to end. The democrats pronounce the bill, as a whole, good. There are, however, plenty of democrats who criticise it in parts. Those from Pennsylvania will do their best to prevent the big cut in glass and iron. The Louisiana democrats will seek to retaiu the present sugar bounties. Democrats representing farming constituencies along the northern border will oppose the abolition of the duty on eggs. The Michigan democrats will object to the putting of lumber and salt on the free list. There will be like opposition from democratic congressmen from other parts of the country.

Republican Tactic*.

The republicans will not offer any bill of their own. They will content themselves with introducing the very strongest report they can prepare on the Wilson bill. They will put into the report damaging comparisons to show the loss of revenue and the danger to

the "infant" industries which this attack on the high McKinley wall of protection will entail. The republicans will also bitterly assail the ad valorem idea.

To Consider Revenun Que*tlou«. The ways and means committee will to-day devote its attention to the internal revenue schedule of the newtariff system. Messrs. McMillin. Bryan and Montgomery, members of the subcommittee on internal revenue, will meet and begin the formulation of the internal revenue and income-tax provisions. The internal revenue schedule proper will not be very difficult, but the income-tax scheme will involve considerable labor. It still appears that the increase of the whisky tax,

i'

any increase be made,

will not exceed ten cents per gallon,' and the change in the tobacco schedule will be very slight, and directed rather to more logical classifications than to an increase in the tax.

May Tax Income..

The whole income tax question is opened up anew, and it is now possible that the tax may after all be of so sweeping a character as to include all individual incomes of (3,000 per annum and over.

ON A STRIKE.

Tollers In Vice President Stevenson'* Mine ProteBt Against Keduotiou. BLOOMINGTON, 111., Nov. 29.—Fifty men and boys employed at tho McLean County Coal company's shaft struck on account of a cut of 12% cents per da}' in their wages. On account of this strike the force of miners were obliged to quit work, because it was impossible to move coal. The men were getting $2 and the boys (1.25. Vice President Stevenson is president of the com pail and the strikers decided to appeal to him, but were unable to obtain an audience. They will attempt to see him to-day. He leaves for Washington Friday. The manager of the coal company says the reduction was absolutely necessary on account of hard times and recent fire losses.

KILLED HIS FATHER.

The Fata) Kndllic of a Spree at Greenville, III. GREK.NVILLK, 111., Nov. 29.—Charles Williams (colored) was shot and instantly killed by his son, Sam Williams, at their home at the edge of town. Sam went to Smithboro and returned with a jug of whisky, of which he and his father partook freely. The father soon became quarrelsome and commenced to abuse his wife, when Sam interfered and a free-for-all fight ensued. Sam finally got hold of a double-barreled shotgun and, stepping back through the door, he fired both barrels blowing the top of his father's head entirely off. He then came up town and gave himself up and was. lodged in jaiL

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 29.—The new executive board of the Knights of Labor will continue here for several days. 1"he general assembly having adjourned, the delegates are leaving for home. Since the assembly adjourned a great deal of dissatisfaction is being openly expressed concerning the way the assembly conducted its business this year.

MR. BlflSKLL'S REPORT.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 29.—Postmaster General Binaull's flrnl annual report has bean made public. Ho devotes considerable space to a discussion of civil service reform. There arc B8,324 employee in the classified civil service in the post office establishment of the govern* ment. He shows his. earnest belief in oivil service reform and bis contempt for the system which has made his office a rendezvous for officeseokers. He makes the significant statement that "the time will soon come when It will be impossible for the postmaster general to attend to both the appointment of postmasters and to the business of the post office department

Jlerenues and Deficiency.

The postmaster general iu his financial state* ment shows-that the deflolenoy for the year ended June 30, 1893, was 16,177,171, instead of (1,552,423, as estimated by Mr. Wanamaker. and that instead of a surplus of 9972,245 for the current fiscal ye*r, as estimated by Mr. Wanamaker, there will be an estimated deficit of f7,830,472. The postmaster general estimates the gross reveune for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1806, at (84,427,748. and the gross estimated expenditures at ^800,390.485, leaving an estimated deficiency of $5,971,780, whloh, however, will be decreased 11,250,000 from fund taken from the unpaid money order accounts.

Needs of the Larger Cities.

The postmaster general makes special mention of the needs of the ten larger post offices of the country, to-wit: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Boston, St Louis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, 8an Francisco, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, whloh yield one»third of the total postal revenue, and he recommends that offices be placed in a class by^hemselves, and appropriations made for them by congress dlreot without tha intervention of rules ana methods that are properly applicable to other post offices. In discussing the condition of these offices he says: "If, however, this suggestion should not meet with favor as to all the ten offices named, or even as to the first five, then at least I urge It for the two cities of New York and Chicago."

Free Delivery System.

Although there are nimety-three additional post offices now entitled to the free delivery service, the absence of appropriation for extension renders impossible the establishment of the system in even one of these towns. There are now 010 free delivery offloes. After a thorough trial of two and a half years the experiment in free delivery tried in 465 towns of populations ranging from 900 to 4.000 has not proved the desirability of establishing the system generally, which the postmaster general estimates would necessitate an annual outlay of 110,000,0110. The appropriation of 110,000 made for the trial of rural fres delivery has been found Inadequate for a fair test, and the plan is not approved.

There has been a marked increase in the special delivery business, the entire number ot such pieces of mail matter delivered being R,865,603, an increase over last jtear's business ot 22 per cent.

The Eight-Hour Law.

The postmaster general by one one stroke has settlod the carrier overtime question under the eight-hour law. Claims for overtimo amounting to nearly 11,000,000 were on file in the dt partment when he assumed his duties, tinder his order of April 4 last, however, postmasters have been held so strictly accountablo for the time ot their carriers that the making of overtime has practloally ceased.

Rapid Transit Facilities.

Great improvement is noticeable In the star railroad and steamboat transportation scrvice, the .length of routes being 458,682.88 miles. The postmaster general states that his desire Is that wherever the general service can be advanced use should be made of rapid transit city and suburban car lines. He pays particular attention to the railway mail service, and requirements of this year will, he estimates, oall for an increase of employes from 6,645 men to 7,000 men. He urges such legislation as will provide a reasonable amount to the widows and minor children of railway mall olerkf* killed while on duty, and estimates that S20.00C annually will be sufficient for this purpoae.

Wants Postal Notes Abolished. He suggests that postal notes be abolished and that the sales charged for all domestic money orders should be reduced and the form of order simplified.

The Columbian Stamps.

While Mr. Wanamaker estimated that the profits from the sale of Columbian postage stamps would be fJ.500,000. Mr. Bigsell's estimate is only $1,000,000. llusluess at the World's Fair.

Concerning the world's fair post office hf says be is highly gratified at the most satis factory results shown from the model branch post office which proved such a great attraction and convenience to the visitors at the world'* fair. The gross receipts during the six month* of Its continuance were £64,3$H, or equal to the postal business of acityuf 80,000 inhabitants. The total number of pieces of mall mattei handled was 15,178,313.

Ocean Mall Subsidy.

Regarding ocean mall subsidy the postmastei geueral says that he is unable to ascertain that any positive advantages have accrued from either a mail or commercial point of view by reason of the contraots thus far put in opera tion under the act- of March 3, 1891, and that no new contracts have been enterod into.

For Closer Relations.

He recommends that closer relations be brought about between the heads of the de partmcnts and the postmasters and other of ficials. Probably the most important ordei made by Mr. Bissoll is the one which declare* that postmasters shall devote their tlmo to tht duties of bclr office. In this connection hi states that the timo has passed when a post office appointment should be held as a political sinecure.

Government Telegraph Kates. Concerning the fixiug of government telegraph rates Mr. Blssell recites the protest ot the telegraph companies against tho rate* fixed by his predecessor and the suits which have been instituted against the government to recover at the rates charged the public. Tin rates fixed by Postmaster General Bissell were accepted by the companies and are about 8 per cent, below those fixed by Postmaster General Dickinson in 1888.

Over 1,200 New Office*.

On June 30,1893, there were OA,403 post offices in tho United States—an increase of 1.284 over tho previous year. There are 3,36a presidential post offices, a net increase of 163 offices

The quostion of the enlargement of the parcels post, so as to have it apply especially to Great Britain and European countries, is soon to reccivc tho postmaster general's attention.

Tho security of the reglsterod mall is shown by the fact that of the 14,533,376 pieces carried during the year, actual loss was found in only 1,346 ease.* of the 3,928 complaints Investigated.

Railway Mall Service.

He makes special comment on the wholesale removals of democratic clerks In tht railway mail service at the beginning of the last administration. The rule'itnblished by Mr. Bisseil that fourth-class postmasters shall not be removed before the expiration of four year* of incumbency unless for cause sb **n ,1, he thinks, have a tendency to dignify the oJ.nce by ptactng it on a par with presidential 'ff.ces as to tenure.

Poucher Gets a Place.

COLORED MEN PROTE8T.

their Convention at Cincinnati Denounces Lynching* CINCINNATI, NOV. 29.—Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, called to order the national colored men's convention, met pursuant to his call issued September SO. To the surprise of all the list of delegates reached over 800, and more are yet to come. Bishop Turner wns made permanent chairman.

Hon. C. H. J. Taylor, of Kansas City, Kan., recently appointed United States minister to Bolivia, made an address, taking strong ground against mob law in general. His remedy was the enuctment of a special statute for the speedy trial of all rapists, fixing the punish-.' mont at death. He would also compel the county in which a man was lynched to pay his heirs 110,000.

Bishop Turner delivered an address, carefully prepared and full of deep feeling. He deplored the apparent taint upon the raoe, and declared that if even half that was charged against the colored men of the United Btates was true colored men themselves should band together and organize for the correction of the evil by the most radical measures. The bishop's remedy is in partial African emigration. He favors calling on this nation for a portion of the (40,000,000,000 which the country owes the colored race for daily labor, say (500,000,000, to enable them to beffin African emigration.
