They Will Lay It Before the Republican
Minority Early Next Week and a Little
lister It Will Go to the Senate—Galosh*
Grow Sworn In and Takes His Sent in
the House.
Washington, March 2.—The senate
finance committee began session again
promptly at 10 o’clock with all the
Democratic members present but Mr.
Vance. The only senator who appeared
before the committee daring the morn
ing session was Mr. Hill, who went over
practically tbe same ground he took in
his speech to the caucus, except that he
went more into detail. In the afternoon
Mr. White, of California, went before
the committee and made an exhaustive
argument in favor of higher-duties on
California fruits. It is understood that
the committee has practically decided
upon the sugar schedule, and in the re
sult reached the sugar men appear to
have gotten more than was conceded up
to this point. According tb the best au
thority < btainable, all sugars up to 80
degrees by polariscopic test, will have a
duty of 1 cent; between 80 and 90 de
grees, one-tenth of a cent additional; be
tween 90 and 96 a rate has not been fixed,
although the demand iBxaade of two one
hundredths of a cent for each degree.
Above 90 degrees a net increase of 1-8
of a cent is asked and up to this time re
fused by the committee. Senator Voor-
hose said that the committee hoped to
lay tbe bill before the Republicans by
Tuesday morning at least.
How to Establish a Quorum.
A Democratic caucus to consider how
beet a qourom may be established of
members who are present and not voting
will bo held Tuesday evening, March 6,
at 8 o’clock.

Galnshn Grow Sworn In.
Washington, March B.—On motion
of Mr. Holman unanimous consent was
given to swear in Honorable Galusha A.
Grow as the repsentative at large from
Pennsylvania at the present time, in the
absence of his credentials. On the arm
of Mr. Holman the venerable ex-speaker
appeared before the bar of the house,
took the oath and was greeted with ap
plause.
Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, then took
a seat on the extreme left of the chair,
next to the one occupied by Mr. Qoigg,
the youthful New York member.
A resolution of the committee on the
judiciary directing an investigation of
Judge Jenkins’ restraining order in the
Northern Pacific railroad case, was re
ported by Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana,
with a request for unanimous consent
for its contideration; but Mr. Kilgore,
of Texas, objected, a..d it was with
drawn.
By a vote of 168 to 129. or a majority
of 89, the Bland silver seigniorage bill
passed the house.

REPUBLICAN CHANGES.
Flans That Will Reduce Southern Repre
sentations in Conventions.
Washington, March 1.—The Repub
licans of the south, according to the
statements of their representatives in
congress, will strenuously oppose the
proposition of Chairman Carter, of the
Republican national committee, which
is to change the plan of organization for
the next national convention. Two
plans were discussed at the recent meet
ing of the executive committee in Wash
ington as to the culmination of the agi
tation which has been going on among
northern Republicans for some time,
based on the argument that as the south
gives the Republican candidates no elec
toral votes, it is allowed undue influ
ence in the nominating convention.
One of the plans is to allow one dele
gate to tbe convention for every 7,000
votes cast for the Republican candidate
in the proceeding presidential election;
the other proposition is to continue the
present representation of two delegates
from each coegressional district and
allow an additional delegate for every
7,000 votes. Either system would ma
terial reduce the representation of the
southern states.
To Rebuild the Tybee Railroad.
Savannah, March 1.—An order has
been received from Justice Jackson from
St. Petersburg, Fla., giving the court’s
consent for the building of the Tybee
railroad. The bid was from Mayor J.
J. McDonongh to do the work for $40
Q00 and take pay in receiver’s certifi
cates. It is probable that Engineer Dob
son, who is to take charge of the rebuild
ing, will commence work next week,
and the road will be completed by May.
A Jealous Husband’s Tragic Deed.
Seattle, Wash.. March 1.—W. N,
White, a prominent contractor,.fired

his foreman, and a few minutes later
shot himself through the heart. Holt
will probably die. White charged him
with being too intimate with his wife.
May Result In a Ra'.e War.
Pittsburg. March 1.—It is not im
probable that a failure to reach an agree
ment in regard to the coal rates to the
lakes by the traffic managers of the
roads transporting coal from the Pitts
burg, Hocking Valley and West Virginia
fields may result in a rate war.
Whisky Killed the Boy.
Birmingham, Ala., March 1.-—A Col

GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILING
Tbe Troops Are Kept In Readiness at the
Barracks for an Outbreak Which May
Occur at Any Time and Serious Trouble
May lie Brought on—The Vote Is Fretty
Evenly Divided.
Montevideo, March a.—The two
houses met in joint sessiou to elect a
president, but no candidate received the
necessary majority. The sitting lasted
five hours and three ballots taken. The
last ballot gave Chucarro 44 votes and
Gomenzore 42.
For an absolute majority, 45 votes are
necessary. Both houses will meet again
for farther balloting. The close division
of the parties and other circumstances
connected with the election have created
great excitement.
Troops are confined to the barracks,
as serious trouble is feared.
The Capture of Sapo.
New York, March 2.—A Herald Mon
tevideo special says: Letters from Santa
Catharina give additional details of the
capture of the Brazilian rebels of the
town of Sapo. The fight was a furious
one, and the town was almost destroyed
before the Joyal garrison was overpow
ered. Colonels Cameiro and Dulcidio

Tbt Murderer of a Storekeeper In Danger

Scranton, Pa, March- 2.—A mob of
200 men attempted to force the jail at
Stroudsburg, for the purpose of lynching
Richard Prior, a negro who, a week
ago, murdered Christian Ehlers, a store
keeper in Monroe county.
The attack was made at 2 o’clock a.
xn„ but was repulsed by the sheriff, who
held the mob at bay until the police ap
peared. The mob retired in a sullen

MR. WILSON BETTER.
Be Passed the Fonrteentb Day of the
Fever Safely.
St. Louis, March 2.—A special to The
Republic from the City of Mexico says:
Dr. Provost says that the bulletins from
Guadalajara indicate that the fourteenth
day was passed Bafely in Congressman
Wilson’s case; that he is so much better
that he may be considered as no longer
in danger.
Congressman Tarsney has wired Con
sol General Crittenden to keep informa
tion as mnch as possible from the press
so as not to make his .friends in the states
unduly anxious. ' This has caused all
sorts of telegraphic messages to be sent
here fromJGuadalajara exagerating the
fact of Mr. Wilson's real condition.
The following message has been re
ceived by Consul General Crittenden:
Mr. Wilson is doing well. His fever has
left him and his skin is cool and moist.
He says he is a great deal better, and he
only wants nursing, food and rest. I
think in 10 days he will be np and able to
go about a little. A little imprudence of
course would set him back, but I think he
is now out of all danger.

Judge Key Will Not Resign.
Chattanooga, March i.—Sometime
ago the story was sent out broadcast
from Knoxville that Hon. D. M. Key,
jndge of the United States district court
for Tennessee, would Tetire from* the
bench soon. In a recent interview the
venerable judge put a quietus on all
such anticipations. “I have not retired
and have no intention of doing so,” he
replied to a query. “I will never leave
it. I guess I'll be there 10 years or
more, I am in perfect health, and it
would be rather shabby of me to leave
the bench and draw $5,000 of govern
ment money each year for doing noth
ing, while some one else draws the same
amount for doing my work.”

A Delayed Message.
The average New York man has his own
views regarding the suburban native. A
lawyer and bis wife who live in New York
decided to spend a Sunday evening with j
their sister in Westchester county. They j
had promised to go out on a certain train, i
when a sleigh was to be waiting for them!
at tbe station. On the day when they were,
to start the New Yorkers, seeing thut tt
could not go by that train, tried to te
phone to the Westchester county hou
Something was wrong, however, with l
Westchester telephone, and so the lawy
called up the station agent, who keeps l
stable, is postmaster, road commisaionf
and everything else.
“Will you send word to Mr. S.,” he askej
“not to send to the 2:40 train, but to hr.
the sleigh at the station for the 4 o’clq
train?”
The stable keeper, etc., promised thati
would, and that ended the conversation J
When the lawyer and his wife stepp
the train, they found a brother-in-law 411*
ing for them who looked as if he bl *
grievance.
“Why in the world didn’t you
word that you were going to wait <tr a
train?” he asked. “I have been fn
around here for an hour and a half.’ 1
“Why, didn’t J., the agent, tell yo
“Not a word from J;”
So they took the complacent agef eta,
to task, and this is the way he explaedit:
“You see, at first I was going to sejorar,
and then 1 thought to myself yo
man would come over for the 2:401
I could tell him. Then he*
and tell you.”
“Well, but you did not say a wo
when you saw that I, and not 1
man, had come.”
“Well, what was the use? As lo
were here there was no uie s
back to your house to tell yo
something, was there? So I <
you.”—New York Tribuna
