ANNOYED BY MESSAGES SAID To HAVE CONE

indianapolis Special the n. Y. World February La
A newspaper representative called on Mrs.
Hendricks to-day. She has regained somewhat
OF her won:ed cheerfulness but whenever the
mann OF her late husband was mentioned her
voice faltered and "A tear glistened In her eye,
showing that her grief still. sat heavily upon
her. Referring TO her home life, she said she
had been away but little since her husbands
death, and then only Tor a short stay at a time.
1T may be a fancy" said she, ''but IL was
here that his spirit left me and L always think
4 am near to him when am home surrounded
by the things which he loved and which we
both enjoyed together. Mr.. Hendricks al

Mrs. Hendricks has been much annoyed by
ceived messages from MIR. Hendricks Promi-
nent among them is a Washington medium
named West, who has sent her several patches
OF spirit poetry, with explanation that they
came to her in the dead OF night, forced her out

munication comes from New York medium,
who inclosed "A letter which he said he had re-
ceived from Mr. Hendricks, claiming that IL

detected the difference. She concluded: ''Of

As admitted by the representative of the firm OF

SfR:-An article on the first page of todays STAR

ment adopted by the firm of Gibson Bros had been
accepted by you This believe to he a mis-
take on the part of the Newspaper claim in the alb
sence of tott contract with specifications that the
system said firm admits to have is entirely i'm
proper.
Speaking from memory OF what ira inspired in vonr
Office last Friday. the Gibson Bros. admitted:
1. Tn t they were furnished a sample and for ere
cutting 65 copies Of like work they to receive s5
cents per page.
2. That for extra ems they were to be paid at the
rate of 30 cents per 1000 ems.
g. That for brewer tabular work they were to be
paid double price
That very large portion Of this work turned out
TO be tabular work.
s. That In ascertaining their proper charge for this
tabular work as 1t covered much larger pages than the
standard pages they ascerainei the gross number of
ems IN page, divided that sum by 242 1.-THE number
of ems they enormously supposed be in paxe) and
multiplied the quotient thusascertained by 95
Thus by the system of measurement the Gibson

Secretary Manning on the Taria:

Secretary Manning on the Tariff.
HE CRITICISES THE AMBIGUITY OF THE PRES
ENT LAW AND FAVORS SPECIFIC DUTIES.
Secretary Manning yesterday sent to the
Speaker OF the House a long letter upon the re-
vision Of the tariff, in which he calls attention
TO the vagueness and ambiguity OF the language
Ofmany provisions of the tariff laws and Of the
necessity of their amendment. The ambiguity
is great in many cases, he says, as to seem
almost Intentional Discussing the general
question Of revision, he expresses the opinion
that an attempted reduction and simplifcation
Of rates should precede revival OF coercive
laws on the subject. Vextng and unjust as is q
compound system, made up Of specific and ad
valorem duties, we are confronted with the fact
that the Treasury must annually obtain about
one hundred and fifty million dollars from Inn
ports. While not advocating the universal APP
plication OF specific rates, the Secretary thinks
1t practicable to prepare plan for the prudent
enlargement OF specific rates which will be of
great general advantage. He adds that he does
not think our existing ad valOrem rates can In
the future be honestly or satisfactorily worked
under the existing conditions of our invoice
law, and that to begin reform with new
'coercive laws" will be TO begin at the wrong
end.

MONTANA'S CLAIM TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF, AND OPPONENTS TO, HER ADMISSION.
It is apparently the intention of the people of
Montana to make strenuous effort for state
hood at the present session of Congress. A dele.
cation, headed by Mr.. w. A. Clark, who was
chairman of the constitutional convention. has
come to Washington to urge the claims of the
territory. Their plan Is to ask that Montana be
let in with Dakota, and some of the leading re-
publicans have expressed their willingness to
vote tor MOntanas statehood. But the democrats
ofthe Senate, who opposed the Dakota bill on the
ground that no enabling act had been passed
express Lss Determination to oppos Montana's
admission on the same grounds. Senator Butler
says he win treat Montana Just AS he did
Dakota, and will insist that she must come in
the regularly prescribed way to get into the
Union by his vote.
