RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
After this little scene Secretary Stenger
read the following set of resolutions, which
were adopted by the meeting:
Tax reduction is n necessity. There can
be no successful defense of a fiscal policy
which takes more money out of the pockets
of the tax payers than is necessary for the
economical administration of the govern
ment. The remedy for excessive
revenue is revised taxation. Presi-
dent Arthur recommended to this
end the abolition of the tobacco tax
an enlargement of the free list, and simph-
fication and reduction of the duties on cot
ton, iron, steel, sugar, wool and woolens.
President Cleveland recommends free raw
materials of manufactures and such other
tariff reduction on the necessaries of
living as shall afford the greatest possible
relief of the public burden Believing that
substantial reduction of tariff duties is de-
manded, not by mere indiscriminate
popular clamor, but by the best conserva-
tive opinion of the country, including
that which has in former times boe1
most strenuous for the preservation of our
national industrial defenses, and that such
reduction should be not only due recogni-
ton of public sentiment and a measure of
justice to consumers, but one conducive TO
the general industrial prosperity and bene-
fical TO special interests affected, it is hereby
ResoIued. T. That existing duties upon raw
materials which are to be used in manufactures
should be removed
2 That duties upon articles used or consumed
by those who are least able to bear the burden
of taxation should he reduced.

GERMANY's SOCIALISTS.
The Debate on the New Law Begun
In the ReichStag.


BERLIN, Jan. 27.--The debate ON the anti
Socialist bill was commenced in the Reich
stag to-day. The Socialist Deputies
circulated a letter among the mem bers from
Capt. Fischer. of the Zevrich police, in
which he confirms the statement that
Schroeder and Haupt, who were arrested in
Switzerland as Anarchists, declared them
selves TO be agents of the Berlin police.
Herr Won Puttkamer, President of the
Council and Minister of the Interior, re-
ferring to this letter, said he would request
Prince Bismarck to take diplomatic steps
against this unheard OF proceeding on the
part of the Swiss authorities Owing to ex-
isting laws, he said, Germany had been
spared the disorders from which other coun-
tries had suffered. Outrages had been pre-
vented, the press had been kept within
bounds and the Social Democratic
propaganda had been checked. The
Socialists had attempted to overthrow
all existing institutions, and could not
therefore claim to be treated under COM
mon law. Exceptional legislation was re-
quired in order to protect the State against
the terrors of an untettered Social Demo-
cracy. Such legislation was not inhuman
On the contrary the Reichstag by passing
this bill would be acting in the cause of hui
manitY.

for Medical Odcers-Staff officers
Opposed 10 the Proposition to Give
Those on Waiting Orders Half Pay.
WASHINGTON, Jan 21-At meeting of
the line officers of the navy in Washington
some weeks ago the committee, which had
been attending to tho interests of the corps
for the previous year, resigned, and new
committee was appointed, with Commander
II. d. Evans as chairman, Lieut. Richard
Rush, Secretary, and Lieut. f. j. Mligan,
Treasurer The other members of the
committee are Commander Allen d.
Brown, Lieut.. Commander koyal
B. Bradford, Lieut.. Seaton Schroeder,
Lieut. Sidney A. Stanton, Ensign \. ~
Alderman and Ensign V. O. Chase This
committee has just issued a printed circular
to Uhe members of their corps, in which
they state tnat they have been authorized TO
look out for those matters about which
there is no difference of opinion among line
officer.
BILL NO. 6S2 OPPOSED.
Among other legislation which they are
to oppose is Senate bill No bS2, which pro-
poses TO increase the pay of certain officers
OF the medical corps. lhe committee was
given discretion to formulate a bill 10 in
crease the pay of line officers. and were
instructed to push the thirty years retire
ment bill For these and other
purposes they make an assessment
on all members of the corps,

year, Junior Jieutenants to $1,000 and
COmmodoreS to -, 500. Tho pay of officers
OF all corps when on waiting orders" Is TO
be cut down TO one-half of sea pay.
ATTITUDE OF THE STAFF OFFICERS.
The staff officers say that they will not
| oppose increase of the pay of the line, but
| that they do object to the cutting down of
waiting orders pay. They say that this
gives too much power to the Chief of the
Bureau of Navigation, who makes details
of officers, and that it allows him to punish
any officer who may make himself distaste-
fUl to him by putting him on half pay, and
keeping him there as long as he pleases.
This is a punishment which can 9th erwise
be inflicted only by an act of
Congress or by sentence of court-martial.
| There are officers now without duty, and
who cannot get duty, it is said, because
they have offended in this particular Tne
bill was to have been introduced in the
House last Monday, but on account of a
slight disagreement among the members of
the committee, it was delayed but will be
presented next week.

other would provide for certifying the

No Doubt That Poor Material Was
Put Into the Charleston.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2z.--The accident to
the steel beams of tho cruiser Charleston,
now building at San Francisco, is a matter
of considerable anxiety to naval officials in
this city A small section Of one of the frac-
tured beams has been received at the de-
partment, and shows plainly that the crack
was of the most decided character, eXtend-
ing almost entirely through the beam. 1t
is now learned that four fractured deck
beams, which were said to have been weld
ed and worked into the vessel, have been
removed rs the result Of an in-
ouiry into their fitness for use
which has been made by the department.
This inquiry, which is still in progress, has
developed facts which have given rise to
grave apprehensions concerning the charac-
ter and quality of the steel already worked
into the hull of the Charleston and further
developments are awaited with anxiety.
