TARIFF REVISION.

The Democratic House Power1ess to Effect
Any Material Change In Protective Duties.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.--This morning met a
Pennsylvania manufacturer at the Treasury De-
partment, and asked him if he thought the pros
pective agitation of the tariff question by Con-
gress, this winter, was having any effect upon
the industries in his State.
Naturally, it would have some effect" he re-
piled, "but | do not think there is any cause for
it. The American people are of an excitable
nature, and are prone to withhold their conf
dence in anything that may be affected from any
cause, though their better sense tells them that
there is no danger"
''Then you do not believe the tariff can be re-
visedl"
II do not-that is to any appreciable extent
for the reason that Randall and his friends will
stand with the Republicans, just as they did
against Morrisons horizontal bill. The tariff
reformers cannot muster a majority in either
branch of Congress to revise the tariff to an
extent that would imperil our manufacturing
interests. Certainly, the Democratic party
would, if it had the power, abolish the entire
tariff, and destroy factories; but, close it
is in Congress now. it will fail, because Pennsyl-
vania has sent the men to protect her industries.
I predict some little tariff reductions by specific
bills, but manufacturers need apprehend no
danger

special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-"I have just seen a
very queer bill come to the Treasury Depart
ment for auditing" observed Third Auditor
Williams to your correspondent 1.-THE bill
amounted 81, 50O," continued he, ''and was for
four oil paintings for the ex-Surgeon generals Of
the army"
"Will it be allowed2" asked
Not much, although it has been customary
to do So 1t will not be allowed for several
reasons. The paintings are not necessary; the
bill is excessive then there is no law for allowing
it, unless it comes in as Office furniture"
For many years-away back before the Repub-
lican party came into power-it has been CAS-
tomary to have painted the portraits Of
prominent bureau officers when they retired
The pictures of all the ex-Secretaries, Attorney
generals generals of the army, and in many
instances their assistants, adorn the Offices of
the departments. The life size portraits in oil
of all ex-Presidents and their wives are in the
White House. 1t is presumed that much of this
is to be stopped by this administration. AT
least the smaller fry are not to have their
pictures left behind them in their old Offices, but
are soon to be forgotten.

tion Army, surrendered Mrs Jarrett to the

Forcing Silver Into Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Treasurer Jordan
said to-day that the policy adopted by the
Treasury Department to secure better circula-
ton of silver coin is meeting with gratifying sue
cess. During the month of August just ended there
was paid out from the different sub treasures
81, ,677 444 in standard dollars, and ST. 495 9O2 in
fractional silver coin, which amounts were
largely in excess of the corresponding
month of last year. Mr.. Jordan says the
withdrawal of one and twodollar notes
from circulation was made necessary
by the rapid accumulation of silver in the SUBJ
treasures. 1t was expected in this way to create
demand for silver coin. That the plan was
successful is shown by the large output of silver
during the past month So far no complaints or
protests against the withdrawal of the one and
two-doiiar notes have been made Applications
have, however, oeen received for large quantities
of small notes In each case the answer has
simply been made that the issue Of these notes
has been suspended for the present. Treasury
officials express themselves as much encouraged
by the present state of finances.

The reports received state that she struck at a
place known as Portugal cove in Trepassey bay,
turing dense fog, while attempting to
make Cape Race The spot is a very
fough one, and she lies on the
rocks in such bad position that there is little
hope of her getting off. The passengers and
