NEW TARIFF LAW AMENDED.

The Or e-T?nt*i of a Cent Differential

IJomity Paying Countries Repealed ly

a Large Majority Vote in the House.

Financial Affairs Considered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—A special order was invoked yesterday to bring the bill to repeal the one-tenth of a cent differential duty imposed by the new rarifr law on sugars imported by bountypayinj conutries and it w.is passed without ameiidmeut by a vote of to ol.

iei^iith diil'erourial

XI10 debate was of an interesting charucter. and at limes very spirited. It t(nidled jni exiensively tn the tn^isury situation and rhe remedies to lie applied. Mr. Dinyiey of Maine made a long statement of the receipts and exjM'inlitiiies to show tli.it the. tieasury was suffering from lack of revenue and that the lirsr duty of t'lie government was to increa.se tiie receipts of the treasury. Mr. Reed rook a similar view of the situation. which was again controverted by Mr. Wilson of West Virginia. The attempts to amend the bill by repealing the other portions of the sugar duty were opposed by Mr. Wilson, 011 the ground that if the bill was loaded down with amendments it would surely meet- its doom in the senate.

Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. President Cleveland's financial message has again started the eddies and currents of sentiment 011 the financial question in the senate. While this has not yet crystallized into definite action, several incidents occurred in the senate yesterday which indicated general tendencies. Mr. Manderson (Rep., Neb.) presented a compromise plan. The senater emphasized the need of concession and compromise in a vigorous speech, urging senators to give and take in order that some common ground for meeting the financial emergency might be assured.

In replying Mr. Teller (Rep., Colo.) made the significant declaration that 110 such compromise legislation could be effected at this session of congress.

Among the measures passed during the day were those for the incorporation of the National Association of Florists and for the side of interchangeable mileage tickets to commercial travelers, known as the commercial travelers' bill.

Most of the day was given to the bankruptcy bill, Mr. Mitchell (Rep., Or.) offering a substitute 011 the lines of the so-called Torrey bankruptcy bill, and Mr. George (Dem., Miss.) speaking at length in explanation of the bill.

BEERBOHM TREE.

His First Appearance in America Not a l.rilliant Success.

NEW YORK, ,lan. 530.—The London actor, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, made his American debut at Abbey's theater Monday evening. He was greeted by an audience which welcomed him with hearty applause. Critics, amateur and professional, were predominant in the assemblage. To these people Mr. Tree proved his ability. His acting made 110 profound impression, but it is certain that when he lias appeared 4n a number of roles his flexibility of character will have won for him a more positive meed of approval than was rendered Monday night.

Mr. Tree's first public bow in this country was made in the character of Gringoire, in "The Ballad Monger." Mr. Tree had some of the declamatory force of Mr. Barrett and some of the reckless air of Mr. Coquelin, added to which he was excellently picturesque in pose and motion,

The main drama of the occasion was "The Red Lamp." It deals with a plot against the czar. It was an inexpert and ineffectual attempt at melodrama. Mr. Tree made a red-faced, stiff-joiined slow-gaited and very fluffy member of the Russian secret police. Tho company was better than the play, but not much, and it was not fit to perform in one of our theaters of the first grade.

COLUMBIAN REVOLUTION.

Secretary of the Navy Notified, and Or-Iel-s a Vessel There.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Secretary Herbert Monday received a cablegram from Captain Cromwell of the cruiser Atlanta, at Colon, reporting that he had heard that a revolution had broken out at Buena Ventura, Colombia, and announcing that he would remain at Colon for the present. The secretary telegraphed to the commandant of the Mare Island navy yard, California, to send either the Bennington or Alert to Buena Ventura at once. It is expected that the Bennington will go, as she is the speedier vessel. The state department has had no dispatch from Colombia regarding the revolution.

Captain Taylor Killed.

PITTSHUKG, Jan. 30.—George R. Taylor was struck by the locomotive of the I Pacific express an JCdgewood station 011 the Pennsylvania railway, and instantly killed. Air. Taylor lias been captain of Company B, Fourteenth regiment, N. G. P., for 1U years.

SEARCHING FOR THE WRECK.

More Evidence That the Lake Vessel Chljora Was Lost. SAUGATUCK, Alich., Jan 30.—Much

•wreckage of the Cliicora was found yesterday. One of the most significant was the passenger gangplank that was discovered embedded in the ice four miles south of this port, two miles off shore. It was chopped out of the ice and was intact.

Wreckage was found at intervals in the ice. Some of it was so firmly embedded and so large that removal was impossible. One mass from the forward bulwarks is 10 by 12 feet square and stands upright. Both foremast and mainmast were found near together. The latter was not chopped away. It was discovered after careful examination, but had been broken off at or near the main deck just below which it rested 011 '\stops.'' This portion of the must Was in fairly good condition. :5vThe foremast told a story of hard struggles with the elements. It had evidently bfeu broken off near the hurricane deck before, the upper works were swept away, and being held to the hulk by guy ropes, nr.ru-red the laboring boat until it was torn away. Then the gang •pbJik was found. It .was h'p-\-i that this iinportai.it article of the vessel's equipment -would tell rho story of the wroek. The only marks wre dark red spots. Their meaning was plainly clear to those seamen who surrounded the pl.'"k. The party eouriisned son tlx livemiles, when darkness made a return to land necessary.

WHISKY TRUST IN TROUBLE.

sw i'ork Stockholm .^t-ciirc a

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Monday night at the residuice of Federal Judge Grosscup, an application of New York stockholders of the whisky trust, representing about S3,000.000 of stock. Joseph Greenliut. of Peoria and E. F. Lawrence of Chicago were oppointed receivers of the trust. The order appointing the receivers, with tin bill upon which it was granted, were sent to Peoria yesterday, where they will be placed upon record. The application for a receiver was based, as set forth in the bill, upon the general poor condition of the business of the trust at the present time, and upon the inability of the organization to float an issue of bonds from the proceeds of which it was expected to gain financial relief.

Attorney Stevens, representing the trust, consented to the plan proposed by the New York stockholders and the appointment was made as Greenliut representing the trust in the receivership and Air. Lawrence the stockholders. Similar proceedings will be had in each state where the trust owns property.

PASS QUESTION SETTLED.

Bill Will Be Passed In Albany Allowing Legislators Mileage.

ALBANY, Jan. 30.—A conference between Cliauncey M. Depew of the New York Central railroad and Speaker of the Assembly Fish resulted in the settling of the pass question for legislators, at least so far as the manner of providing transportation is concerned. Air. Depew was firm in the opinion that there was no way in which the constitutional objection could be overcome so as to allow the legislators to either travel on passes or to accept a certificate equal to a pass from the secretary of state.

Together with Speaker Fish he decided that the only way to prevent legislators from having to spend the larger part of his salary for railroad fare was to have a bill passed allowing the members mileage. He said that the railroads were willing to aid in the matter by honoring the mileage certificates of members when signed by the comptroiler so that the state will lose nothing by the operation. A bill embodying the views of Dr. Depew and Air. Fish will be prepared for introduction.

Prie-e of C'ini Kedticed.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.—At a meeting of Alassillon coal operators held at the Weddell House yesterday, it was decided to reduce the retail price 011 Feb. 1 to $3 per ton. The price has been $3.25 since the end of the strike last fall. The price to dealers is $2.10 and $2.20 per ton, according to grade. Another reduction will be made, but the amount has not been decided upon. It will probably be 10 cents per ton.

Farmer-lirakfman Killed.

GREENVILLE, O., Jan. 30.—Jacob Heffner, aged 38, married, and a brakeman in the Pennsylvania yards at Bradford, while coupling cars yesterday evening, met a horrible death. Seven cars passed over his body, mangling it past recognition. Heffner was a farmer and owned a nice farm, but 18 months ago he left it and began railroading. He leaves a wife and two children.

HOMEMADE DRESSES.

HOW TO MAKE THE NEW SKIRTS HANG GRACEFULLY.

Great Cane Must Be Taken In Finishing

the Sea'tis and Taking Up the Plaits. Stiff Interlining of Horsehair Employed.

Little Trimming Used.

[Copyright,. by American Press Associa*. tion.1 The new skirts are known as the three piece and the live piece skin, though some dressmakers call them the organ pipe and funnel :-kirr. There is more labor and time expended on the proper adjustment of these skirts, plain as they appear, than on many an elaborate costume. It, is only by the most e.\trenin pains that these skirls berome successes, and whoever \\ibhes to make one exactlv right will do

The j:i-.- move is to tak-» and spread it out and d'aft.

oiil I'm leimth. always allowing an extra inch lor ''lai'.e up.' Then measure a t]i3 tep, so that the doubled fold will reach two-thirds around the waist. Hollow :t. out three-quarters of an inch in front and marl in four darts, each 5 inches deep ae.d l'-., inches across. These should cause tne front to tit smoothly over the hips. It they are not deep enough or too deep, adjust them. The sides slant 5 inches, so that the bottom of the front breadth is 10 inches wider than the top.

The two hack breadths measure l.t-j yards each, and the front one three-quar-ters of a yard, or a yard at the bottom if preferred. Tho back pieces arc cut 011 the full width of 54 inch goods, and the side joining tin* front is cut straight. 011 the selvage of tho goods and should ho drafted so that the straight thread goes from one to the other of the two XX's. The top of the skirt is curvcd 1 y2 inches, and they each measure 18 inches across the top. The back seam comes bias. Tho three seams are stitched up, pressed flat, and then tho facing, which has been cut to exactly fit the outside, is put on.

First comes a deep facing, or full lining of silesea, with ail interlining of horsehair or wigan. A bias band of indestructible velutina is then stitched upon both linings, so that when sewed to the dress to turn tho velutina is outside. The facing is then basted in place, or the lining if it is lined, and herringboned to the outside in invisible stitches. After this it is pressed into perfection. Tho darts may be loft out of the front at the top and small gathers run in to fit it over the hips. Tho back fullness may be gathered and left to fall in natural folds, or it may be laid in tho small box plaits which spread out widely toward the bottom, or it may be laid under in small, flat plaits, two 011 each side. Tho model shows a skirt of tho same length all around, but by allowing greater length around tiie back of the two back breadths it can be made a demitrain. Tho back breadths, which aro to fall in round, flat or burnoose plaits, should be lined with wigan, or, better still, haircloth, and when tiie plaits are taken in at tho top they are fastened into their rounded shape by tapes. The three piece skirt is better adapted for st reet wear than the five piece, and when for that purpose tho three breadths must be the exact measure all around. It is quite impossible for any one to make ono of these skirts and have it exactly right, and tho slightest imperfection shows glaringly, without a dress frame to try it 011, or some ojio to help the maker, who is to wear it. The bias parts are also apt to sag. Somo dressmakers put straight lining about 10 inches wide down the sides and catstitch it down. Lining when cut with the dress will sag with it.

It is permissible to have a very little narrow trimming on these skirts, but al-

TIIKKE 1'IECE SI-CIHT COMPLETED. most all are severely plain. The richness of the heavy folds of the skirt would lose something of its effect if cheapened by trimming. Enough of that .is .bestowed upon the corsages.

The amateur will bo discouraged more than once before she gets these apparently simple folds into their proper shape, but with tho diagrams as guide she will succeed if she perseveres. Those of equal length hang in a manner that has made them so famous. All depends upon the finish of the seams and the laying in of those two or three innocent little plaits. -'Ouvu

HAKI'EU.

An Impossible Bouse.

The man and his wife called on tho architect, and tho architect was glad to see them, for business was extremely dull. "We want you to build a house for us," said the man by way of introduction. "Thanks," bowed the architect. "I shall bo only too glad to do so, and I am quite sure that I can give enSfro satisfaction." "Well, you ought to," remarked the lady.
