knew be had added a good deal since he had
been here, and yet he went about making a
poor mouth. Heretofore Senator Hill has
done less talking than the other Colorado
statesmen here, but he seems to think a time
has come when silence is not golden. There
are those on the senate side Of the eapito
who think that one of the inspiring motives
for pushing the investigation into Indian
affairs and land leases Is the expectation
that something unpleasant for the secretary
will be uncovered.
NO TARIFF LEGISLATION PROBABLE.
Speaker Carlisle, asked by the correspon-
dent Of the GLOBE If he had been present al
any recent conference of revenue reformer.
to discuss the policy Of opening up the tariff
question this winter, replied
''No, have not. / did not know Of any
see the newspapers have been PUBLISHING
something of the kind. / guess 1t was
conference of newspaper correspondents
What do I think of the policy o
trying TO pass any tariff reform bill
If it could be possible to prepare in the way,
and means committee bill taking up one oi
two leading articles and the Republican mem
bers Of the committee would agree TO no
amend it, might be in favor of a bill being
reported. That, however, is impossible, and
if it we're not, it could not run the gauntlet
of 325 members without receiving endless
amendments. Nothing can be done thi:
winter, and, therefore, am against any agi.
tation on the subject. Agitation now would
be useless and, therefore, most objection
able"
sis this resolution to do nothing general
among revenue reformersP'
II do not know from actual conversation.
/ presume so. 1t is apparent enough thai
there is not time enough TO consider and
pass a practicable bill"
William r. Morrison also denied that there
had been a conference. He was opposed to
preparing any bill Of any kind in the ways
and means committee, so 1t is probable that
no work will be done on il this winter.
TIE NICARAGUAN PROJECT.
There seems to be a growing feeling OF
favor toward the presidents recommends
tions regarding the Nicaraguan canal project.
The opportunity is offered at such an au.
spicious moment, when the government OF
the United States may, at single stroke
gain for itself such valuable rights on the
isthmus, which are likely to go to others un-
less taken now, that there is a general feel
ing Of favor for the recommendations. II
seems very probable that the treaty will be
confirmed by the senate with little opposi.

BEN's BIG MORTGAGE.
Ben Butler has made a deed of his bic
house, opposite the capital here, to his Law
partner of Boston, the nrice being SO, ,OOO
The deed is, however, followed by note
saying he shall have the rgh. to repurcbase

money TO pay the cost Of his late campaign.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILLS PROSPECT.
The friends of the education bill, which
grants seventy odd millions of dollars TO aid
the common schools of the country, are much
encouraged by the developments since the
return Of congress.
81 fnd," said Mr.. Willis, talking Of its
prospects of passage, ''that the bill is much
stronger than it was last session. The fact
is that people are ahead OF members of con-
gress in this matter. The members, as they
come back, tell me that they heard from the
failure to pass this bill everywhere.
This is especially true of the South. They
say that the people are talking of it and de-
manding its passage there. There are many
who were unwilling to vote for it last session
who will readily do so this time"
''po you expect II TO pass theng'
eyes, l think there will be little opposition
to it''
''Will there be much discussion on it7'
''T think not. There is not the time to
spare for talk about measure on which SO
nearly all are united as in the case with
this. expect to see the bill law before
the end of the session."

they raised and distributed by taxation for
this purpose in the last year, and, as this is
prohibited by the bill, il would result in
making the distribution somewhat UNEQUAL.

reduced, it will ooyiate this difficulty
