An Ex-Postmaxter's Expectations
Special to the Globe.

<Ah LAT -oStHxdkLcf'S expectations
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Ex-Postmaster
Palmer seems to be settling down for
long siege in regard to the Chicago post
Office. One of our morning papers to-day
announces that he and Congressr' Van
Schaick have taken quarters at the Stratch-
more Arms, and there are other evidences
that Palmer intends to make a long stay
here. His friends are predicting to-day that
there will be no action taken by the senate
on President Cleveland's appointments for
postmasters either in Chicago OF Philadel-
phia, and that when the senate ad
journs Mr.. Judd will have to
step out and Mr.. Palmer will
step in. Interviews with several
Illinois members of congress to-day resulted
in the unanimous opinion that the plan sug
gested Saturday by friends of ex-Postmas-
ter Palmer, by which it was said he would
be enabled to resume the office after the adj
Joulnment of the senate without the con-
firmation of Mr.. Judd, will not work. They
say that under the tenure of Office law this
could have been done. but that the recent
amendments would render plan of this
sort lmpracticable. These members say that
they do not know what will be the program
OF the senate on this subject, and indeed,
they think probably nobody, not even Gen.
Logan, knows.

VIII be Considered Earlier Under
the Revision.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The house COM
mittee on rules in submitting the proposed
new code of rules for the house accom-
panies with report explanatory of its pro-
visions. After naming the general appro-
priation bills that would, under rules IL as
amended, be referred to committees other
than the committee on appropriations, the
report states that there would be left with
the committee on appropriations the legis-
lative, executive and judicial, the Sundry
civil, the deficiency, Notifications, pension
and the District of Columbia appropriation
bills. These bills include more than the
annual appropriations for carrying on the
government. The committee says for sew
eral years past the various general appro-
priation bills have been reported at such
late periods in the session as precluded their
careful and thorough investigation by the
members not committee on the apprOpria-
tionS. The committee is of opinion that
The distribution proposed will enable all
those bills to be reported at early periods in
the session. will permit more careful and
thorough consideration of each bill by the
committee having jurisdiction of it, and also
by the house. resulting in more considerate
and economic legislation, and will Obviate
the necessity for the passage of any of
these bills under suspension of the rules,
which has been so frequently done in late
years. The committee is of the opinion
that the general appropriation bills should
be confined strictly to items and matters of
appropriations authorized by existing law,
to a continuation of the appropriations for
such public works as are already in progress
and for the contingencies for carrying on
the several departments of the government.
and to this end recommend the Restoration
of the old rule adopted by the Twenty-fifth
congress and which stood without amend
ment until the Forty-fourth congress, a
period of nearly forty years, and was fur
ther amended in the Forty-sixth congress.
Mr.. Randall presented the minority re-
port and made very strong argument
against any change. He asserted that the
distribution of the appropriation bills would
result in confusion, wasteful extravaganza
and increased taxation

Tariff Agitation Inevitable.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE protection
members of congress receive innumerable
protests against tariff agitation. These
come in greater bulk from Pennsylvania and
Ohio, quite number from California and
some from the Southern states. They will
be presented in both branches this week,
but they will avail nothing. 1t is simply
whistling against the wind. Tariff agitation
at this session is inevitable. The tendency
toward free trade in the Democratic party
is growing, and it is getting firm foothold
in agricultural sections. There is no
reason to doubt that not only will
there be agitation of the tariff
but the passage of bill of some kind by
the house Of representatives. The protec-
tionists now put all their hope in the SEN
ate, and it will be before this body that the
strong fight will be made to defeat whatever
the house may do. 1t is an open secret that
Speaker Carlisle will so form the ways and
means committee as to make it certain that
a revision bill will get the active support of
a majority of its members. The agitation
of the subject is not, however, expected to
commence in dead earnest until the first
week in February.

Items of Expenditure in the RepOr

Items of Expenditure in the Report
of the Secretary of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The annual re-
port of the secretary of the senate, which
furnishes detailed statement of the pur-
chases made for that body, gives some Gu
rious ideas as to the manner in which it is
supplied at the expense of the government.
Of course, it is understood that there is a
legitimate expenditure for stationery and
articles of this character, which articles are
paid for as drawn from the stationery room
out of fund of $500 year allowed them
for this purpose. tits hard to understand,
however, by what authority or right the
secretary of the senate gets into his bills
such items as Apollinaris water. lemons,
sugar and articles of this character. On a
single page of the secretary's report are
these items: lone can Apollinaris water,
$780," one can Apollinaris water, $11; 233
pounds granulated sugar, SIS; one
box of lemons, $4.90; four dozen
ginger ale $40. On the opposite page are
items. Zone hundred three-grain quiz
nine pills, So; one gallon of bay rum, 49, so;
one pound of Glauber salts, cents; one-half
gallon castor oil, 81; one pound aloes, 10
cents; one-half pound sulpher, 10c; three
barrels soft soap, $3.50. Just what the
senate could have wanted of this quantity
of soap, unless it is to distribute to visiting
constituents of members, is little difficult
to understand. On the very next page is
another item for three more barrels of soft
soap, while items of 200 quinine pills ap-
pear frequently throughout the report. The
senate must have very vigorous appetite
for quinine, as well as for soft soap and
Apollinaris water.

what is known as No. IL lift, which is To-
Gated at the extreme end of the opening of
the slope. being 400 feet from the mouth,
and therefore its ventilation was a difficult
problem. The gas ignited in the breast,
where man named Coffy was at work.

entered the slope as soon as the news had
reached the surface. 1t was soon discov-
cred that many had been burned, and they
