WASHINGTON.
MIR. Morrison ms Tariff Bill,


WASHINGTON, March 16.-The Ways and
Means Committee to-day decided to take up
Mr. Morrisons tariff bill for consideration.
The motion was carried by strict party VOTE
All the Republican members opposed it on the
ground that tie tariff question should not be
agitated and reopened Several Democrats
who voted to take up the bill stated that they
did not intend thereby to pledge themselves to
anything more than to allow it TO be considered,
and Mr. Wood was absent by reason of sick
ness, but sent word that if present he would
oppose taking up the bill or in any other way
reopening the tariff question at this time.
The Annual Appropriation Bill.
The Republican Senators held caucus this
morning to determine what will be the general
policy in regard to the sweeping reduction al
ready made or contemplated by the House on
the annual appropriation bill. No conclusion
was reached and the subject will be further
discussed at an adjourned meeting tomorrow.
The Committee ON Patents.
The Senate Committee on Patents to-day
heard reports OF the National Stove-makipg
Association in opposition to Mr.. Englishs bill
amendatory to the patent and copyright laws,
some portions of which they argued would, il
enacted, affect stove manufacturers injudic.
iOusly.
Various Matters.
The Secretary of War to-day awarded the
contracts for transporting the army supplies
from Yankton to Fort Benton and intermediate
points on the Missouri river to the lowest re-
sponsible parties.
Hallett Kilbourne, the recusant real estate
pool witness, remains in Jail. No movement
has yet been made for habeas corpus.
Hon. Benz. Wilson of West Virginia is re-
ported somewhat better tonight.
The jury in the Halleck case brought in a
verdict of guilty

POST TRADERSHIpS.
MORE SENSATIONAL STORIES
Government Officers Doing a
Thriving Business.

NEW YORK, March 16.-A Bismarck, Kan,
despatch to the Herald says that certain docu
ments have been forwarded from there to
washington showing the completely of certain
people IN the sale and barter of post trader
shlps. 1t says that Post Lincoln, opposite Bis
marck, is paying to Belknap and his friends
more than $4,000 yearly. Other smaller posts
are paying to the same in proportion.
The evidence will show that one Senator and
one ex-senator, both from the same state, the
latter now Governor of a Territory and holding
high position in the War Department., and q
territorial ex-marshal. have all been deeply in
terested in the sale of post traderships. Ex-
Gov. Campbell of Wyoming, made a special
visit to Warrington to control the appointment
and sale of post traderships. He effected his
purpose and the Campbell brothers received a
third of the profits Mr.. Hedrck of Ottumwa,
revenue agent in Iowa, is said to have receiv-
ed hundreds of thousands of dollars from the
sale of post traderships, which sums can be
sitions, including Belknap. One letter written
in 1870 by HedIick, announces that he can Con-
troll any leadership in any department.
Another letter TO a post trader. finding fault
with the latter for the small profits derived,
says, speaking of General Rice of Iowa, "You
know Rice is a bachelor of expensive habits,
living in Washington. He must have his cod
fishing in summer and his trip to Florida in
winter. You must pay up and keep him going.
He can't live on less than $4,000 year. The
weeks ago, Orville Grants clerk at Standing
Rock advised him to see Grant, saying, ''He
can fix you.' The despatch says: "A telegram
has been seen here from Delano to Orville
Grant, making the appointment of Raymond
of this place, as trader at Berthold, upon tel.
egraphic demand of Grant,"
The post traders along the Missouri river hav.
ing been taxed almost to the full amount OF
their profits, and regarding the downfall OF
Belknap as the breaking up of the ring, are
| anxious and willing to hasten to Washington
| and disclose all they know. The post of Fort
Fetterman paid profit of $4,000 in two years
to be divided among members of the ring. The
| ex-senator mentioned placed his son in one oil
| the most lucrative positions.
A despatch from the West asserting that ex
| Gov. Campbell of Wyoming, was interested il
| the sale of post tarderships Las only this foun
| dalton: The Governor insisted that all federal
I! Offices in the territory should be given to the
Republicans, including post traderships He
| did not come to Washington for the purpose
| but talked it over when ordered here as mem,
| Der of the Sioux committee. he had brother
] who was at one time appointed post trader by
| Gen. Anger, just before the appointments were
| given into the charge of the War Department,
but young Campbelrs appointment was coun'
| fernandez from Washington.

IMPEAcHMENrs.-There have been only six
impeachment trials before The United States
Senate, and but two persons were ever con.
victed. The first case was that of Senator
Blount, charged with treason in 1898, but there
was no trial, the jurisdict ion of the Senate be-
ing denied on the ground that senator was not
an officer of the United States. Judge Picker
ing of New Hampshire was found guilty of
drunkenness in 1903. and removed. Judge
Humphreys of Tennessee was impeached for
treason early in the war, and convicted. The
most celebrated trial, down to President john
sons, was that of Judge Samuel Chase of
Maryland, who.was impeached in 1904 for pc.
l,tical partisanship in the trials of Fries and
Calender for libel, five years before. Chase
was one of the signers of the Declaration of To-
dependence and great spirit Having once
ordered sheriff to summon posse and take
some rioters to Jail, he was timidly answered
that nobody would respond. Summon me
then, and I'll take 'em" Numbered the Judge.

NEW YORK, March 16-The Haytien Minis
ter. Preston, yesterday notified the Haytien
Consul here not to clear any vessels for acmel,
as that city is in the hands of CavaI, who, with
revolutionary force recently captured it.
A member of the Haytien revolutionary party
in this city, says Caval is the man who was kept
ia safety by the American Minister Basseit,
some months, subsequently going to Kingston,
Jamaica, where be, with other wealthy Hay
ITEMS, bought the Octavia and loaded Der with
arms and forty revolutionists Caval is the
same soldier who captured Port au Prince in
1868 and upset the government OF Salnave.
The steamer Atlas which sailed from here for
Kingston last Saturday, had on board the Hay
tien ex-senator Counear, with Col. Coligeny,
both of whom have goue to join Caval in his
efforts to overthrow the Domingaez govern
ment. Dominguez is charged with having pros
tituted the Haytien government to Spain, and
driven out all fugitive Cubans receiving there
for the protection and assistance of Spain. In
this connection may be taken the announce
ment per West India cable last night. that the
Spanish war vessels had captured the Octavia
and taken her to Porto Rico. Another signifi-
cant item is the sailing yesterday from Fort
Monroe of the American gunboats Plymouth
