A MEMBER Of the House Ways and
Means Committee recently expressed the
opinion that the Committee would oppose
the passage by the House of the Tariff
bill, reported to the Senate by the Finance
Committee as an amendment to the In
ternal Revenue bill. If the Tariff bill
should pass the Senate in that shape it
would come to the House for concur
renee, which would not be given, and I'M
less the Senate receded from its amend
ment the Internal Revenue bill would
fail. 1t is not thought likely that the
House will consider any bill with SEN
ate amendment of this character. Prom
inent members of the House think there
Is little probability of any revision of the
tariff at the present session.

IT is stated by Washington CORES
pendent that an open rupture has taken
place between Senator Malone and the
Administration, growing out of the
UnitedStatesJ udgeship of Virginia, made
vacant by the resignation of Judge Rives.
Senator Malone demanded the appoint
ment of Mr.. Paul, the present Readjuster
Congressman from that State, in which
he has been antagonized by Gen. Grant,
who advocates the appointment of Col.
John S. Mosby, now Consul General at
Hong Kong, who is the bitter enemy of
Malone. The report is that Senator
Malone visited the President, and what
took place is only surmised from the fact
that Malone left the White House in a
passion, and indicated to his friends that
1t was his last visit to the Executive
Mansion.

Autobiography Railroad Convention


The Legislative Convention that met at
Abilene some weeks since, met In adjourned
session at Topeka on the 5th, and after con.
siderable debate adjourned to the 9Th. when II
again assembled to discuss railroad Iegisla-
ton. The Chairman of the Committee of
Nineteen reported that they had collected sta
tistics from various portions OF the State,
showing gross discrimination and extortionate
charges upon the various railroads in the
State, which information the committee will
furnish to the proper committee OF the House
and Senate, upon the organization of the
Legislature.
MIR. Speer submitted resolutions that Il be
declared to be the sense of this Convention,
that 1t is in favor OF committee of three
with powers to adjust and equalze trans
portation in all portions of the State, regard
Ing all railroad companies as common carriers !;
that said commission shall be elected by the
people at the election on the second Tuesday
OF November, 1882, one for two years, one for
four years, and one for six years, and one
every two years thereafter alternately; that
within three days after the passage of and APP
proval of a bill for the election OF Commits
sioners, the Legislature shall meet in Joint
Convention for the election of three Commits
sioners to fill the positions until the election
and qualification of the Commissioners afore-
said; that in add. ton to giving the Commits
sioners power to adjust, regulate and equalize
the tariff Of freights, the law shall establish
maximum rates for transportation.
The resolutions, after debate, were adopted.
After appointing q committee of nine to ar.
| range for UNIFORM action In the matter OF
railroad legislation after the organization of
the Legislature, the Convention adjourned.

THE recent order of the German Gov
ernment requiring all persons who have
not done their military duty to report
has caused a good deal of alarm among
German-American citizens. Inquiries
have been made 10 the State Department
ut Washington TO ascertain what the pol
Icy Of our Government will be with re-
spect TO protecting such citizens The
reply OF the Secretary of State, it Is said,
will give assurance that all naturalized
citizens will be fully protected, and that
persons who have indicated their inten-
zion Of becoming citizens will probably
also be protected. 1t isthought this may
possibly lead TO some diplomatic CORE
spondence, as the German Government
will claim that the United States has not
The right to extend this protection to any
but naturalized citizens.

Gov. CLEVELAND, in his message to the
Legislature of New York, took decided
ground in favor Of an economical admin
lstration of State affairs and of reforms in
the civil service. He recommends the
abolition of superAuous canal officers
which will effect q saving of $4,000 a
year, and proposes that the Health Officer
Of the Port Of New York, who receives
from $4,000 to $4,000 q year in fees,
hall be paid reasonable salary and the
surplus covered into the State Treasury.
He declares that the appointment and

mense concourse Of people, the military of
Paris, Government officials and civic societies.
The car containing the catafalque was one
