MORRISON'S MEASURE.

Will Not be Considered This
Session.

\The Tariff Bill.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-An impression
is growing among members of the house
that there will be no discussion of the tariff
bill at this session, and many theories are
advanced to strengthen this belief. Mr..
Randall says congress will adjourn by the
end of the first week in July and that the
tariff bill will consume none of the interven-
ing time. His reasons for making this aSSer-
ton are not known. There are those who
say that an understanding exists between
MeSSrs. Morrison and Randall and that no
effort will be made to call up the measure.
The Democrats who intend to vote against
the tariff bill are very anxious with Mr..
Randall to defeat Its consideration, fearing
that discussion will have the effect of divld-
ing the party on the other questions, and
believing it will be political advantage to
have the bill pending
DURING THE APPROACHING CAMPAIGN,
when compared with the duty which would
devolve upon Democrats in explaining its
defeat. The president, it is asserted, de-
sireS an adjournment of congress as soon
as possible. yet a large element or the tariff
reformers, including the speaker, are cred
tied with urging Mr.. Morrison to insist upon
consideration of his bill. \ few Republic
cans will probably vote to consider the bill.
but will vote against it when the question
of its passage is reached. Gen. Browne
of Indiana, a prominent Republican men,
Der of the committee on ways and means,
expressed the opinion to the GLOBE cores

get the tariff bill before the house at this
session. If effort should be made, he be-
lieved it would be defeated.

whereby the discovery may be put to prac-

The cattle industry.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Representative
Swinburne of New York, member of the
house committee on agriculture, has filed
minority report vigorously attacking the
bill reported by the majority of that COM
mittee to extend the powers of the bureau
OF animal industry. The report says:
We believe that the chairman of the COM
mittee was imposed upon BIZ the representa-
lions made 10 him by the chief of the bureau
of animal industry. andwe believe that if the
recommendations in the report are carried
out large amount of money will be uselessly
expended, II dangerous power invested in
incompetent men and great injustice in
flicted on the raisers of cattle in this country
If such a system is to be adopted, we recon-
mend the change of the name of the depart
ment from that of bureau of animal indus try
to bureau of animal butchery for the de-
struction Of the domestic ANIMALS of the
United States, to be in charge of corps of
butcher boys who would be as well qualified
for the position as the present head of the

nonsense for Celia to think of marriage at
her age. But she did think of it. and saucily
told her father that she would marry
bob in spite of the objections of the
whole Lederer family. tits said that when
her father would not let her go out to meet

MISS CELIA DISAPPEARED.
Her father searched for her everywhere,

The couple had gone to boarding house,
