ADUBIOUs PROSPECT.
What Kansas Man says of The Passage
or the Tariff Bill.

What u kansRs man says OF Inc fasshge
ofthe Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, February S.-"What are
the prospects Of the passage OF tariff bill
this session. inquired press, re.
porter this morning Of Mr.. Haskell, a Re-
publican member Of the Ways and Means
Committee.
"Rather dubious, sir" he replied quickly.
"What do you think Of the prediction
that the House will get through with Its
bill by the end OF next week?" T.
"That's too previous. We may get the
Senate bill by the latter part OF next week,
and when it comes over to the Committee
on Ways and Means we will put 1t in
shape in a hurry; but it will be some time
after that before the House bill is passed,
the way the Bourbons are blocking up
progress" =,
"fhen you doubt whether a tariff will
be finally passed." :.
1T is very doubtful but we intend to rush
It as rapidly as possible"
Mr.. Carlisle, OF Kentucky, member oi
the Ways and Means Committee, was
asked il he believed tariff bill would be
passed.
"Well, your opinion or anybody's opin.
ion is as good as mine. No one can tell
anything about 1t now. l have said several
times that do not believe any kind Of a
bill will be passed by both houses"
It Is said that Mr.. Kelley, Chairman oi
the Ways and Means, is somewhat discour'
aged, and doubts the ability Of the Senate
and House to agree to bill that can be
passed.
It is generally believed that the bill now
in the Senate will figure more in the bill
that will be reported by conference than
the bill now in the House. Members in.
terrogated to-day said an extra session will
not be called unless it is to pass on appro'
priation bills.

NEWPORT, R, L, February SIT was
ascertained this forenoon that the estate Of
the late Rev. DR.. Mercer, Of this city, is
valued at 100000. The deceased was
taxed Tor only $4,000, and for many years
was taxed scarcely anything. A few years
before his death he received notice from
the tax assessors that he was to be taxed.
He kept his private affairs to himself, and
was considered to be in only moderate cir.
cumstances. He owned All Saints Chapel,
where he preached several years during
the summer season, his congregation being
confined exclusively 10 Newport's most
aristocratic visitors. The news OF the death
OF his only brother, ]. G. Mercer, OF Phila.
delphia, was received this noon. The latter
did not receive penny from the reverend
gentleman's will.

Mr. lIEwIrr's application Of the doctrine
Of the survival OF the tittest" to the iron
ore industry may be entirely business like,
but there is tinge OF cruelty in it. 1t may
be that he would not suffer, but others

&at is good policy which discourages any
home industry which is easy to destroy but
hlol to build up. We have abundant ore
this country, but the labor which takes
tout Of the mine is higher priced than
tie same labor abroad, and this is as it
ought to be. The American workmen
ought to be fairly paid that he may live
