WAsHrsGToN, Jan. 2.-Congressman
Mills, OF Texas, who will, as everybody
expects be the chairman of the ways
md means committee of the house, has
been making some calculations as to the
effect likely to be produced on the rev.
enile by certain changes in the tariff, and
ne has called upon the bureau of statistics
for n greatdeal of information. The result
OF his calculations he has had printed
as data from which Il bill may be formed,
These data will be submitted to the COM
mittee on ways and means. Mr., Mills
denies the truth of She published story
that he has Submitted a completed tariff
bill to the president. So far as Mr.. Mills
knows, nothing like a finished tariff bill
had yet been prepared for introductionii in
the house. The president, he says, has
not been consulted about any
of the data he has collected.
Mr.. Mills is in favor of substituting ad
8galorem for specific duties In many cases,
because he is of opinion that the specific
duties weigh more heavily on the poorer
classes of goods, which are used by the
poorer classes of people, and that under

Gov. Ta,tison's Report.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 2.-The Pacific
railroad commissioners report has been
the talk OF the day in financial circles.
Most of the comment has been heard up
on the minority report of Coy. .Pattison.
His recommendations find no indorsers
in Boston, where the Union Pacific is
chiefly owned. Lis proposal that the
government shall take possession of the
Union Pacific, and put it in charge OF d
receiver, has awakened little or no alarm
among the holders of Union Pacific
stock, One of the largest owners of this
stock said tl.at not one in ten of the sew
en- thousand persons now holding the

with members of the labor assemblies.
All available leaders and agitators were
scattered to the four quarters OF the re-

feared, The peaceful attitude of the
strikers and their sympathizers was first
broken Saturday night. Train crews on
the Mine Hill branch were stoned, snow

Ths Presidents Gift.
ROME Jan. 2.-Thc browning feature
Of the pope's jubilee, the celebration Of
the pontifcal high mass in st. Peters,
the grandest of churches, was a most mag
nificent spectacle. AT q very early hour
st. Peters square was jammed with peo-
Pile awaiting the opening Of the cathe;
dral, and when finally the vast ediice
was thrown open, a constant tide of hu-
Inanity poured into 1t until the build
ing was literally packed. The
pope entered the cathedral at $3.50,
preceded by the cardinals In procession.
As he appeared the vast congregation
broke forth into shouts of greeting,
which lasted some minutes. The mass,
and Its accompaniment of music, were
RrnndIy and deeply impressive, and many
present were profoundly affected. At ii
o'clock the holy father Withdrew from
the cathedral, and again there arose an
almost endless shout Of VIVA accom-
panied by waving OF hats and handker-
chiefs, clapping of hands, and ether
manifestations OF affection, which con-
tinued long after he had disappeared.
Sixty thousand tickets OF admission were
tsaued. King Humbert received a depu-
tation Of Italian deputies in the afternoon
and expressed to them his great salts
faction at the smoothness with which the
cerempriles Of the pope's jubilee, and es-
pecially Sundays exercises at st. Peters,
had passed off. This fact, he declared,
was the best proof Of the pope's entire
liberty.
