made for the press of the country on as lib.
eral basis as possible, and the reportorial
force can be accommodated. The applIca-
ton from the daily press for seats will be
considered by sub committee at the next

The Tariff and the Mystery.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The revenue re-
formers in the House are daily growing more
h'peful that the Morrison bill will be con.
sidered. Their confidence is being based
upon the assertion that assurances have been
received from q sufficient number of those
who voted against the bill in the caucus to
insure 1t hearing In the House. Fifty.
seven Democrats voted against the bill In
the caucus, and thirty. seven Democrats
united with the solid Republicans In oppo-
sition to the bill, will defeat it. The cham.
pions Of tie measure say that careful count
Of noses shows that only thirty Democratic
votes will be cast against the consideration
Of the bill, as follows: Connecticut, 1; Cali
fornia, 2; New York, 4; Pennsylvania. 70:
New Jersey, 3; and Ohio, 8. If the estimate
Is true, the bill will be taken up by small
majority. The protectionist Democrats saw
that the former estimate is simply ridicu-
lous, and If their opponents base their hopes
upon such calculations, they certainly will
be disappointed. Quite number of oppo.
nents Of the bill express themselves as in
different whether II IL or Is not considered.
The feeling Is assured that Its discussion and
amendment will make the task Of defeating
1t much easier. The publication of the
anonymous circular, pointing out the rea-
sons why another caucus should be held,
and the consideration Of the tariff postponed
until next January, is the subject of much
comment. There is as much mystery sur.
rounding the authorship Of this paper As that
Of the "Bread Winners" The names Of the
IL whom 1t was sent were
clipped from printed lists, and pasted upon
The envelopes, giving no clue to the hand.
writing of the author. The members of both
factions recognize the ability Of the paper,
and Its circulation and publication in the |
newspapers annoys the revenue reformers.
They say they are willing to hold another
caucus If any twenty members will sign |
call, but add that the next caucus will bind |
hose who attend it to vote for the Morrison |
bill.

The Vatican.

NEW YORK, April THE Herald's Rome
Cardinal Czacki, one of the most enlightened
and trusted councillors Of Leo KILL, on be-
ing questioned yesterday regarding the ru-
mored intention to leave the Vatican, replied
he did not believe the report. In his opin.
ion there had been two moments only when
the Pope's departure might have been ad-
visable-before the Italians came to Rome,
aud before 1t was formally decided to make
Rome the capital Of Italy. The United
States Minister had been communicated
with, and two letters exchanged by Signors
Mancini and Grannuzzi Savslli, ex- Minister
Of Justice, recognizing the American college
to be exempt from seizure by the Govern
nent. There Is no reason to believe that
Aancini is celebrating bill tending to neu-
tralize the effect Of the recent decision of the
Court Of Cessation, regarding the Prcpa-
ganda. In ministerial circles this, of course,
Is denied.

Cincinnati Socialists.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The Socialists Of this
city met tonight "to declare the true cause
Of the late riots In Cincinnati" which was
declared to have been "the premature ex-
plosion of general discomfort, caused by the
fire brand Of melting and infammstory
speeches by so-called leading citizens, who
were seeking to divert the attention of the
people from the real causes of existing IN
equalities which have become almost I'm
bearable, by pointing out to them one insiS-
ni6caht petty criminal, an individual muir.
derer, as one Of the causes of the existing
evils" The resolutions further declare that
the militia wantouly killed so or more citi-
zens and encouraged others to retaliate; dep.
recate the bomgeoise in being led by the
rich, who are declared to be habitual crimi-
mails; repudiale the allegation that 1t was
Socialists who led the mob, and demand the
disbanding Of the State militia, which Is
called a menace to popular liberty.

The Emperor Williams Illness,

NEW YoRK, April 5.-The Worlds Lon
don: The Emperor William is Ill. Every
attempt is made to conceal the fact, and
official announcements declare he is merely
suffering from severe cold. But court cir.
cles In Berlin know better, and the Kaisers
condition is regarded with absolute alarm.
This feeling was intensified, to-day, by the
announcement that Queen Victoria's eldest
daughter, Victoria, wife Of the German
Grown Prince, was compelled to assign, Off
cially, as her reason for not undertaking the
comparatively short journey from Berlin to
London, to attend the funeral of the Duke
Of Albany, the fact that the state of her
father-in-law's health was such as to abso-
lutely forbid even . short absence from bis
side at this time. This announcement was
the first acknowledgment Of The Empero-'s
illness, and is interpreted as ominous.

the papers found on the anarchists Kennel,

Morrison's Programme

WASHINGTON, April S.-Mr. Morrison,
dnring the debate on the wool bill In the
House yesterday afternoon, announced that
on Tuesday, Of next week, he would call up
bis tariff bill for consideration. 1t was in
tended originally to have brought the bill
forward this week, but this programme has
been abandoned, not because, as published,
that Mr.. kanuall will be absent several days
In attendance upon the Allentown conven-
ton, but for the reason that certain defeat
awaits the measure at the present time. A
careful poll Of the House shows that there
will be a majority Of at least nine votes
against the consideration Of the bill, and 1t Is
hoped that during next week this opposition
can be dissipated. If, however, considers
ton Of the bill Is defeated next week, Tues
day, the revenue reform programme Is to
leave each successive day to 60 into commit
tee of the whole on the measure, and thus
put the protectionist Democrats on record
daily against the tariff revision. The Speak
or will recognize Mr.. Morrison, or some
other member of the Ways and Means com.
mittee, each day to make such motion, and
1t 10 hoped that in time the requisite major.
ity for consideration of the bill may be OBJ
tanned.

of Col. J. Fl. Mapleson, was arrested here

Pearson was In the habit Of Willing away

by frequenting beer garden; that she met
young Mapleson there, and an intimacy

A Riot Threatened.

NEW YORK, April 5.--The past two or
three days an unsigned circular calling upon
the working classes to meet at Cooper Ins.i-
tute tonight, TO take action In connection
with the Cincinnati riots, have been indus
triously circulated through the city, chiefly
among the classes who would be first to
make trouble In the event Of riotous demon
stration In the city. To-day copy Of the
circular was received by mail at the police
headquarters, together with two letters from
citizens, representing that threats would be
made In certain quarters to foment dis.
turbsnce and apply the torch. The 'ntire
reserve force of police has been ordered on
duty to. night, and large force will be sent
to Cooper Institute to suppress any riotous
demonstrations.

GOOD LEGISLATION.

The House, on Tuesday, passed two bills
Of more than usual interest in the Terrific.
rles--one providing for four judicial districts
In each Territory, and one requiring Cover
nors OF Territories shall have been residents
thereof two years next preceding their ap.
pointment.
The judiciary measure will doubtless pass.
The necessity for IL Is so obvious that the
nominal additional expense cannot stand as
. bar, and there can be no constitutional OBJ
lection. This will not only enable Justices
to hold more frequent terms of court IL nec-
essary, but will obviate that worst OF all
judicial arrangements, whereby In case of
appeal the Justice may assist In determining
cases taken up from his own court. With
four Justices this will be prohibited.
The other bill 10 equally approvable, but
It Is doubtful II II will become law. The
President has constitutional authority, by
and with the advice and consent Of the Sem
ate, TO appoint Governors OF the Territories.
It 10 hardly probable either will consent TO
have their authority shorn by statute, and
Limitation placed upon their selections. II
would be pleased thing II such restriction
existed, for IL 10 fact that the present sys-
tenn OF governing the Territories Is unrepub-
lican--a relic Of royal tyranny, . continuing
outrage upon every citizen Of the United
States resident In the Territories, kad every
blow struck ct the shackles on Territorial

publicanism. Ths Government appointees
are not TO blame. They want position.
They get 1t, and hold 1t for term--until

says, "Bring me bis head on charger and
