AN IMPROVED PROSPECT FOR THE BILL OF THE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE-THE DANGERS
TO BE ENCOUNTERED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Within the last three or
four days the Representatives. who favor tariff
vision ON the basis of the bill reported by the Way
and Means Committee have found new courage,
and many who were almost ready to despair week
ago now express strong hope that Tariff bill will
be adopted by this Congress. belief that the
Ways and Means bill will pass the House with
en- ndrnents is becoming stronger every day. No
doubt this improved condition Of feeling is largely
due to the fact that the general debate
has awakened considerable enthusiasm in the Re-
publican ranks which have also been sOlidlfied by
the reckless abuse and misstateInents INDUCED IN
by the free-trade Democrats in their speeches, some
Of which reeked With ignorance and malice as to
disgust even the EXTREMIST " revenue refOnners
on the Republican side
Democrats like Bland and Mills have fairly earned
thethanks of the Republican leaders. Among the Re-
publicans who have been regarded fit subjects for
missionary efforts by the tariff men, Is Mr. Calkins
Of Indiana, whose name has occupied place on all
the lists of doubtful" Representatives. 10 reply

however, Mr.. Calkins SAID that, while be did not
approve the bill in AL its details he would support
and vote for it, and would offer no amendments 10 It,
OfcOurse, he may vote for amendments offered by
Others, but even then bis course Will be governed
by conservatism

OPPOSED TO THE NAVAL BILL.
SOME OF The PROVISIONS WHICH ARE REPUGNAN1
LEY TELEGRAPH TO rns rnlauNEl

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THR TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The officers of the Navy
will contest III the Senate several features
of general legislation which they dislike in
the Naval Appropriations bill as 1t passed
the House. Both line and staff officers
object strenuously to the abolition of the grade of
Commodore. 1t is claimed that 1t forms grade of
promotion to which Capa Of long service are en-
titled and gives staff officers of forty years stand
lug chance OF attaining higher rank than they
could otherwise get, while furnishing convenient
grade for officers intermediate between Captains
and Admirals for the command of naval shore sta
tons as well as for the heads of bureaus IN the De
partment It is also urged that ii is the most dis
tinctively American title there is in the Navy.
The abolition of the Pay Corps is ear
nestly opposed by naval officers who
say tho functions of naval Pay
master are not to be compared to those of an
Army Paymaster. Toe Navy has neither Quarter
master nor Commissary. Many of the duties
analogous to those performed for the Army

TO BE ENCOUNTERED.

Mrs. Langtry and company were to
have embarked in the alaska" but
she changed her mind a few days be-
fore. The crowd (but whoever saw a
steamer land or depart without a
crowd of spectators p had hoped to see
the Jersey Lily" We went out to the
ALASKA" little before noon on
steam tender, a brass band playing in
honor of the Australian cricketers who
were on board. About two o'clock in
the afternoon we steamed down the
Mersey in the rain, and through the
mist saw the last of the innumerable
chimney pots which bristle all over tie
tops of the Liverpool houses.
Before it grew dark we caught
glimpSeS of the Welsh coast about
Conway and Llandudrno, and could see
the mountains inland. The Irish chan
mel was not very rough that night, and
almost everyone was able to be on deck
when we reached Cork harbor and
took on the passengers from Queens
town. We experienced very rough
weather the next two days. There was
was chance of getting on deck and al
most every one was sea sick. The YES
sci rolled from one side to the other,
and being so very narrow it cut
thiOuSh tiIC WAVES oAICA CdIlic CId Sll-
ing on the decks as if to crush them in.
We came to the conclusion before the
voyage was over that the Alaska"
was not pleasant boat although the
fastest on the ocean. The staterooms
and passageways were very narrow,
and the decks unless the weather
was very fine, and the sea remark
ably smooth were almost useless.
Our best run was 426 miles in
one day, the best days run ever made.
We should probably have made the
fastest run across the Atlantic ever
made as Mr.. Guion was one of the pas
sengers and was anxious for a fast
trip, but the two days after leaving
Queenstown put US back. Counting
the crew there were shout 800 per-
sons on board. The list of cabin pas
sengers as usual contained very cos
array of names.
1t became very warm as we approach
ed the American shores and on Sunday
we were able to gaze on Long
Island and the huge hotel at Rockaways
and Coney Island. We had to wait
outside the harbor to 90 into the dock
with the tide. New York bay looked
as beautiful as ever. Everything
seemed so bright, the sky so blue and
the sun so dazzling. We were landed
at seven o'clock, but as it was Sunday
evening and after sunset we could not
get our trunks examined until the next
day. We felt however, that we were
home again. F. M.
