THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Plans for its Curtailing and the Reach
ing of Vote.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE speeches
which have been made on the tariff have
attracted very little attention. When the
tariff talk is on there is almost a beggary
array of empty seats. The subject has
been so much discussed in Congress in re-
cent years that it is almost impossible to
say anything new about it. Members of
Congress admit this, both verbally and
by absenteeism. 1t is time for action, not
talk. The fact that the speeches are not
going to attract attention has suggested
to the managers the propriety of curtail-
ing the debate. Ninety men having put
their names down for speeches show
that the debate might be run out
to an almost unmeasurable length. Mr..
Morrison and other leaders think that this
ought not to be permitted. In this view
of the matter Mr.. Morrison has called a
meeting of the Ways and Means Commit
tee to consider the question. 1t is pro-
posed to cut off speech-making, so as to
practically confne it within the limits of
the five-minute rule, with leave to print.
Another proposition is to have evening
sessions of the House for the delivering
of tariff speeches. Mr.. Morrison will
move, next Monday, to suspend the rules
and make the order for such sessions.
Under either plan it is thought that a vote
on the bill could be reached by the first of
next month.

CINCINNATI, April IA dispatch from

Reid, of the Superior Court, and promi-
nent candidate for the Court of Appeals,

THE TWO HOUSES AT OUTS.
Continuous Increasing of ApprOpria.
tiOns by the Senate the Cause.

Continuous Increasing of ApprOpria-
tiOns by the Senate the Cause.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-There is going
to be several fights between the House
and Senate about the appropriation bills.
The Senate policy of increasing all bills
of that character sent to it by the House
does not conduce to the good humOr of the
latter. This is especially noticeable about
the naval bill. The House does not favor
the increase of over $6,O0O,O 600 proposed by
the Senate. The provision in the bill as
1t comes back from the Senate for the
construction of six more steel cruisers
before 1t is known how those now build
ing will turn out will cause a deadlock.
Mr.. Randall said to-day that the ApprO-
priatiOns Committee would never consent
to such a scheme. He also said that the
House would sustain the committee, and
that the Senate would, in the end, have to
give way.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Taking Of testi-

son for illegal eXactions from the city
and from persons under penalty was con-
cluded to-day. His counsel moved that
the court direct a verdict for the defen-
dant, and District Attorney Olney ad-
mitted that the indictment would never
have been brought if the evidence which
had been brought out on the cross-ex-
animation had been before the grand jury.
The Judge directed a verdict for the de-
fendant and the jury promptly found him
not guilty. The other two indictments
pending against him for the same alleged
offense committed in other months were
quashed on the motion of Mr.. Choate.

Attorney issued a rule requiring the attor-

Berner in the murder OF VIM. H. Kirk, to

was dismissed. The prosecutor will now
move to substitute copy Of the original
bill, which will be granted, and Palmer's
case will be ready for trial. The grand
jury has found three indictments each

RAsCALITY AT THE HUB.
A Daring Attempt to Blow Up Street
Car and Bridge.

BOSTON, April 17.-About 10 O'Clock
last night two men in light open buggy
drove on Cragie's bridge from the Boston
end, and when about in the middle of the
bridge one of the men left the buggy and
placed something on the horse car track
and re-entering the buggy drove rapidly
away toward Cambridge. A loud ex-
plosion followed a few moments later.
which sent a column of smoke high into
the air. An investigation showed that an
explosive had been placed in a 10-pound
powder can and fired by a detOnating can
and fuse. Horse cars were approaching
from either direction, but were too far
away to feel the effect of the explosion. 1t
is thought that the attempt was directed
against one of the many horse cars which
pass this point at this hour.

after assembling to-day, and the recon-
mendation of the President that Collector
WICKER, OF Key West, Fla, be removed

Cuban insurgents was taken up. The
recommendation had been referred to the
Senate Committee on Commerce and was

made to immediate consideration and the

international feature of the matter.

THE RAILROAD wAsHoUT.
Travel and Mails in Georgia Subject to
Great Delay

ATLANTA, April 1.-THE washouts on
the Georgia Pacific, Western and Atlantic,
and East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroads, turn out to be of a more seri.
ious character than was first estimated.
Passenger travel over these lines is sus-
pended to points beyond the breaks. In
the meantime, all travel and mails going
to points usually covered by their lines
are sent by way of Montgomery.
Heavy forces of workmen are engaged
night and day repairing the damage done.
1t is believed that these routes will not
be opened until Saturday or Sunday, and
probably not as soon. In consequence of
these breaks travel and mails that usually
passed over the lines injured now reach
here one day behind time.
