HE WANTS TO COMPROMISE
Fears for Missing VesseIs-Terrific Ex.
pcrience Of the Lake Forest.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-AnXiety I'm marine circles
about the safety OF sail and steam vessels wslich
were probably exposed to Wednesday nights
fearful gale has been increased by their failure
report, and some ii is feared, have b5en lost. The
captain OF tie schooner Lake Forest, which
emerged from the storm early yesterday morning
crippled and almost helpless says it was terrific
gale. The Lake Forest was about forty miles out
OF NuSkeEron when il began and almost before her
sails could be shortened" the were running
mountains high and washing clear over her deck
load. The ioreSail stood the blast less than five
minutes, and then the head sail. jibs and stay
sails went, one by one, until the vessel little
better than wreck. ''We began 10 drift to
leeWard at rate that threatened 10 carry us all
TO destruction in a few hours" the captain said.
'but our sailors are all brave fellows and by hard
work they managed TO rig up enough head sail to
give us a slant toward the west shore. Even then
we were not out OF danger. The vessel rolled
worse than ever and finally her deck load went by
the board, nearly carrying two sailors with IL.
Every sea that boarded us froZe about Us soon as
it touched the decks, and IL was not long before
we were oyerwelghted with ice. The men endured
more harShips and suffering last night than they
ever Will again, perhaps, il they live To be one
hundred years old. The wind WAS bitter cold, and
as we all had TO throw Off our heaviest clothing TO
insure safety i'm crawling around on the deck load
every blast seemed TO penetrate to our very mar
row. The Forest was covered with ice from her
crOSS-trees down when she arrived.

WESTERN KNIGHTS PROTEST..
They Object 10 Pay ing the Recent As
sessmlent for the Defense Fund.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The Daily Neus this morning
says: The action Of the general assembly of the
Knights OF Labor in levying an assessment OF
twenty-five cents upon all the members OF the
order is being commented upon by the leading
local Knights. The circular issued by Mr.. Pow
dcfy ordering t." collection OF the assessment is
being read in the local assemblies. several have
decided to pay the amount under protest and
Others have concluded TO ignore the mandate for
the present. Every assembly pays a regular tax,
which is accumulated in what l. known as the de-
Tense fund. In many cases, especially i'm the
mixed assemblies large sums have accrued. These
assemblies object to being assessed when money
collected for defense purposes is lying idle in the
banks. The local assemblies, and especially the
stock yards contingent. object most emphatically
to the mandate, claiming that Chicago and the
entire west have been wronged by the general
board, not Only in the stock yards strike but in
the recent railroad strike on the Southwestern
system. They claim that the western knights are
being asked To support eastern strikes, and are
not only refused assistance when in trouble, but
are forced 10 an unconditional surrender In case
where the general order was not asked or expected
to render financial aid.

THE APPROACHING SESSION.
Probability that. the Tariff Revision
Will at Once Come To the Fore.

Active preparations are being made for the OPEN
ing OF Congress on Monday. Members are coming
In rapidly. Over hundred are now in the city.
The business OF the House will open with a quiet
fencing between the Morrison and Randall fac
lions. 1t is the full determination OF Mr. Morrison
and the Speaker to make some active tariff reform
demonstrations, and Mr.. Randall is as earnestly
working to prevent it. 1t is believed that Mr. RAN
Gall Is determined that whatever is done with the
tar1n Will be by the Fftieth Congress, and with
MIN as chairman Of the ways and means commit
Tee. The tariff refOrmerS declare that Mr.. Ran
dalFS friends are already setting up pins to put
MN In Mr. MorriSOn'S place and to put the tariff
question In his hands in the Ffft1eth Congress.
THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE ON THE TARIFF.
Speaker Carlisle has not been at the Capitol yet
and has not been receiving visitors. He and Mr..
Morrison, however, have had several conferences
as to the order OF business In the House, and par
t1eulariy with regard to the tariff. 1t is practi-
should be made to get the tariff before the House.
Much depends upon what position the President
takes on the question In his message. Efforts are
being made to get him to come out strong
ior revision, and should he do so 1t is
believed that number Of votes would be
influenced. Mr.. Manning, in his report, will
handle the question with vigor, but he deyoteS
more attention to the so-called administration
features, or the Hewitt part OF the proposition,
dpced. The effort will be to have the President
enlarge upon this point and to call the attention
OF Congress to Ii particularly. II they succeed in
this, Mr.. Morrison will probably begin to agitate
tne question the second week OF Congress-
THE PROGRAM FOR MONDAY.
On Monday there will probably be no call Of
states or committees. The committee to wait on
the President VIII be appointed as soon as the
House assemblies and the Presidents message
may be read. After that the death Oh Representa-
uveS Beach and Arn0t will probably be announced
and an adjournment taken.
Mr. Randalls appropriations committee is hard
at work, and will be ready to occupy the House
almost as SOon as ii meets. The District OF Co
luInbia bill can De made ready within PA hours,
ana 1t IS expected that the undry civil bill will be
ready On Tuesday.

AND LIKELY TO REMAIN HERE UNTIL HIS THIRTY DAYS
LEAVE HAS EXPIRED
1t was published in New York paper yesterday
that Gen. Miles suddenly left Washington night
before last for his post in the department of Ar-
zona because he was privately informed by a prom
inent army officer that it would be well for him to
return to his post. 1t was ntimated that his enc
mics at the department, who are jealous of the
fame he has wrested from Gen. Crook would make
trouble for him ii he remained, the ground that
he should be attending to his duties on the from
tier instead OF tdling at Washington. The publi-
cation also stated that Gen. Miles intended stay
Ing here fOufmOnthS. Gen. Miles is still in WASH
fngtOn, and 1t is stated at the Ebbtt house. where
he Is stopping, that he has given no intimation Of
his intention to leave II Is stated at the War de-
partment that Gen. Miles was perfectly justified
in taking thirty days leave on his own RESPONSE
bility, and that he could undoubtedly obtain per-
mission for an extension Ii he so desired. An Of
ficer OF his rank can allow any OF those under him
TO take thirty days leave, and he is at liberty TO
take such leave himself, II he Is satisfied that his
absence will cause no Inconvenience He came
here on leave OF that length, and has not yet eX-
hauSted IL. In his visits to the War department,
the last OF which was yesterday afternoon, he has
not intimated that he would cut his leave short OF
that he would desire an extension. Mrs. Miles in
tends spending the winter here, she did last

Mr. McKelway-It went democratic in the elec-

RepOrter-Then you think the state is demo-
cratic?
MI. McKelway-By majority, no. By plural
1ty, yes. The democrats gain from the labor vote.
The republicans lose from the prohibition vote.
| The eccentric quantities are the mugwumpS and
the stalwarts. They both help the democrats be-
cause OF the prepOnderance of the Blaine senti-
ment in the republican party. The mugwumps
and the stalwarts far apart the antipodes,

In that case the democrats will carry New York
