DISSATISFIED TANNERS.
Proposing to do Away with Middlemen's
Commissions

Proposing to do Away with lGiddlemen's
Commissions.
CINCINNATI, Oct 25.-The Secretary of the
Cincinnati Tanners Associations today, in con-
formity with resolution adopted by that body
began correspondence with other tanners
associations OF the country for the purpose Of
obtaining their views as to the advisability of
establishing leather stores or depots, at con-
venient points, where all tanners can place
their goods on sale. The purpose of such an
arrangement, if it is carried out, will be to
avoid paying the heavy commissions to mid
dlemen. 1t is considered an open question
whether such plan will be feasible. But it
is thought that discussion of it will lead to
changes in the present methods of tanners of
disposng of their stocks which are svsry much
needed.
A national convention of tanners is suggest
ed as one means of agreeing upon the needed
charges aud combinations, and the Cincinnati
ASSOCIATION may, at its next meeting, decide to
call such meeting. The business OF the tan
neries, it is said has rarely been so unsatisfac-
tory as at the prest Mt time. The price of green
hides has advanced while the price of leather
has decreased. In this locality the cost of tau
bark has advanced owing to the unfavorable
freight rates given by the roads leading south,
aud another unfavorabe factor is thus added
The tanners feel that the business is not suffi
ciently under their control, and that only by
combining can they make it once more profita-

fairs IN New England Pennsylvania and other
States have been the subject of formal discus
sion at Cabinet meetings is authoritatively de-
MED by the President and members of Cabinet
who furthermore specifically say that while
the usual cabinet meetings have been held for

whatever, cipher otherwise, have been sent
from the White House TO the chairman of the
State committee in New York or TO any one

purpose of attending to the packing of his pri-
yate papers, books and other articles prepara-
tory to their removal to Washington. He says

Lieutenant Danenhower's Narrative.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--The examination of
Lieut.. Danenhower was resumed this morn
ing The witness was asked by the court, "At
the time the Jeanette was abandoned, what
boats would you have fitted out had yon been
in commando
A-The first cutter and the two whale boats.
Q.-Why would you have chosen these boats
in preference to the ones taken?
Al considered the second whale boat a
better and more seaworthy boat than the sec
ond cutter, and it had more carrying capacity.
Q.-Did you express to the commanding Off
Ger your opinion that it would be better to
tighten the sledge loads.
A. No.
(Which of the two boats, the second boat
or the second cutter, was the more readily
transported over the ice?
A-The second cutter.
Q.-Was not this an important consideration
in the preparations for the release?
Att was very import0nt consideration
Q.-Was not the whale boat, on account of
its greater length, much more liable to be in
iured in its transportation over the ice, than
the second cutter?
Att was.
O. Considering everything then, do you not
think that the selection of the lighter boat was
a wise measure?
Al do not think So

ments.
WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-The hearing of argu-
ments in the political assessments case of
Newton M. Curtis was continued in the United
States Supreme Court this afternoon Mr.
Edwin B. Smith of the counsel for petitioner
replied at some length to the argument of the
Solicitor General, and was to-day as yesterday
repeatedly interrupted by questions from the
bench. Mr.. Smith begun by saying that the
voluntary givi * of money oes not Constitute
trusteeship neither can it be callec an inde-
pendent private employment carried on by a
government employe at the expensd of the
rvice to which has time and labor properly
belongs. 1t is entirely personal matter and
one with which the government can have no
concern.
Congress is not censor Of morals and it
cannot control its employees outside the sphere
OF their official duties. In conclusion, Mr..
Smith said he could only reterate his convic-
tion that Congress had no right to regulate the
conduct OF a government empoye outside the
sphere of the latter's official duties
Everett P. Wheeler submi tied bill for
the government this afternoon, in which the
constitutionality of the statute is maintained
upon somewhat broader grounds than that TAX
en- by the Solicitor General, and in which an
attempt is made to show that the practice of
political assessments is not only illegal, but is
injurious to the public service, oppressive to
the government employe, and demoralizing to
all who have anything to do with it.

were procured yesterday by the government for
attempting to corrupt jurors in the star route
cases, was arrested at late hour last night
upon warrant sworn out by Juror William
*. Brown whom it is alleged Payne corruptly
approached. 1t is said that Payne was about
to surrender himself. Payne was arraigned
this morning. FL. @. Cogett appeared as coun-
SCI. but the District Attorney not being ready to
proceed with the case the court fixed Payne's
bail at $4,000 pending hearing. The govern
ment is making strenuous efforts to apprehend
the remaining fugitives-Fall, Shaw and Foote
1t is believed that Shaw is concealed in Wash
ington, while Fall and Foote have escaped to
other cities. Governor Wells saws he will
await reason sble time for their arrest, but in
any event proceedings will begin within few
days against the defendants then in custody
and that the government intends to have full
and free. hearing in the police court of all the
circumstances in the case so that the public may

believed that the defendants will waive hear

and the platform was occupied by about fifty
prominent Republicans. Senator Wadleigh
was introduced, and made an earnest speech
against corruption and bossism as practiced in
the State. He admitted there was an error as
to the personal presence of Chandler in the
convention, but showed how absured il was for
the latter to deny having procured Hale nom
ination in the light of well known facts. The
speaker argued honest Republicans to vot for
