Water Works Committee

When the ARGUS, short time since,
mentioned the fact that the water COM
mittee would hold meeting to consider
the new water rates, the Union derided
the idea, and treated it as simply absurd.
As can be noticed elsewhere in this issue,
the committee has given public notice to
consumers that such a meeting will be
held, and any one thinking that he or she
has been overcharged will be permitted to
make their statements. It is the duty of
every member of the water committee to
be present Saturday evening, and espe-
cially the alderman from the Seventh
ward, who was q member of the commit
tee when the old rates were in vogue.

WESTERN LIFE.
As Exhibited by the "wild West' Show

The weather which greeted Cody &
Carver's "Wild West" Combination, at
Davenport yesterday, was of the most
dIsagreeable character, and in q great
measure interfered with the interesting
performance given by this mammoth
troupe. The street parade was given in
the morning in all its entirety,
and was quite novel exhibition. There
were the Indians, squaws, pappooses, elk,
deer, buffalo, Texas cattle, ETC., with DIR.
Carver, Capt. Bogardus, Major Frank
North and other famous scouts. 1t was
noticed, however, that the great scout

Chicago to attend the death. bed of his
daughter, at his home in North Platte, Neb.
The weather was none the more favor
able in the afternoon, and the slippery
condition of the ground, made it difficult
for equestrian feats. Considering the
Objectionable weather, there was a good
audience present, who manifested their
appreciation of the entertainment as best
they could in their uncomfortable condi-
ton. The troupe shows in Iowa City to-
day, Council Bluffs tomorrow. and in
Omaha on Saturday, when it disbands for
the season.

The Bill Practically Untouched-Hints About
Extra Session.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The adjournment
of the tariff conference committee, at mid
night, with large part of the bill I'M
touched, has filled the Republican members
with alarm, and the expression of opinion is
again freely heard that there will be no tariff
legislation this session. The strong proba-
bility that nothing will be done in the two
remaining days of the session has given rise
to belief that the President will call an
extra session of Congress, Oh the theory that
postponement of the tariff agitation, with
positive assurance that it will be resumed,
will be disastrous to the business interests of
the country. This is mere speculation, how
ever
The high protectionists made concessions
throughout the consideration of the bill,
although in dealing with the iron schedule,
and also in regard to wool manufacturers,
there was an effort to hold rates up to pretty
nearly the figures of the House bill Mr..
Sherman made an earnest speech, in which
he urged his fellow-senators on the commit
tee to accede to the wishes of the House
members, saying it was practically Senate
bill, and as such, when in conference COM
mittee, the senators ought to expect that the
House would insist on modification, and it
was fair to concede to the House conferees
that right. In this liberal expression Senator
Sherman was joined by Senator Malone.
The chairman (Mr. Morrill), Mr.. Aldrich and
Mr.. McDill favored the lower rates. and in
voting they were joined by Mr.. Carlisle.
In nearly all differences the committee was
divided as between the Senate and House
members until toward the close, when
Messrs. Sherman and Malone showed an in
clination to join with the House conferees.
1t is thought even by some members of the
conference committee that the chances for
agreement upon the bill are very slight,
though the situation is such as to render it
possible that an agreement will be reached
in very short time.

ployed by the Standard Oil Company atlarge

the subject, the Governor deems it his duty
