A TASTE OF TARIFF TALK
Mr.. RANDALL SETS THE BALL IN
MOTION IN THE HOUSE.

Consideration of the Urgent Defl-
cheney Bill Furnishes Him Pretext
fcr Advocating Repeal of the Inter-
Aal Revenue Laws-Increased Ap-
preparations for Public Buildings.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The House to-
day went into committee of the
whole on the urgent deficiency bill
Items for various expenses con-
nected with the departments came in
for good deal of criticism, in the course
of which Mr.. Randall said the purpose Of
the Committee on Appropriations in calling
attention to this matter was to bring the
people in control of the administration of
justice to due realization of what was neces-
sary In this connection. The Committee
OH the Judiciary should frame some sort Of
an amendment to the statute law which
would prevent the gross injustice which
was done to innocent and inoffending citi-
zens by trivial prosecutions Many of these
prosecutions, as said by the gentleman from
Missouri (Mr. Burmese, come under the in
ternal revenue laws. By all means they
had come when these wrongs should be duly
considered, and he hoped the Judiciary
| Committee and the gentleman from Arkan-
| sas (Mr. Rogers, as a member of that COM
mittee, would take hand in the work.
A WINK AS GOOD AS A NOD.
A wink was sometimes as good as O nod
| to blind horse. [Iaughter.)
| Mr.. Rodgers-I sometimes take a wink,
but when | wink, l wink at the tariff
| Laughter
Mr.. Randall-An right, we will wink to-
| gether, may be. Laughter and applause.
| Mr.. Rogers--If that suggestion means
anything, it gives me profound gratifica-
tion, for heretofore we have not been wink
ing together ON that subject.
Mr.. Burns said that he would never cease
| denouncing the horrors and evils per-
petrated in the name of the law by officers
| of the law under the internal revenue law.
At the same time he wished to say to the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ran
dali and the country that he would remove
| the burdens of tariff taxation, and reduce
the taxes on some of the necessaries of life
before he would undertake to lessen the in
| teral revenue taxation. Applause
Mr.. Herbert attacked the system as the
cause Of the evils complained of, and he ap-
pealed to the Judiciary Committee to bring
in a bill which would remedy those evils.
PUBLIC BUILDING ESTIMATES.
Mr.. Burnes stated that the Commit
tee on Appropriations was in receipt of es-
Inmates of appropriations for the compile
ton of public buildings in various parts of
the country. As, in every case, the esti-
mates exceeded the limits fixed by
| the law, the committee could
not. under the rules, incorporate
the items in the bill The buildings, how
ever, must be completed, and he offered an
amendment making appropriations for the
completion of the buildings at the following
points: Aberdeen, Miss, $4,000; Charles
ton, S. c., $l36, ,000 Jackson, Miss,
81 900; Lynchburg, Va, $4,000; PEN
sacola, Fla, $1,000; Richmond, Va, $33,
600, and large number of others in the
North and West The amendment was
adopted.
Pending discussion, the committee rose
and the House adjourned.

BILLS FROM COMMITTEES.

Cutter for Charleston.


WA sHINGToN, Feb. 15.-In the House to-
day Mr. Phelan, of Tennessee, from the
Committee on Commerce, reported the bill
for the construction of revenue cutter for
use at Charleston, S. c. It was referred to
committee of the whole. Mr.. Phelan also
reported the bill authorizing the construc-
tion of bridge across the Tennessee river
at Chattanooga, Tenn. 1t was put on the
House calendar.
Mr.. Davis, Of Massachusetts, from the
same committee, reported the bill to pre-
vent the introduction of contagious and in
fectious diseases into the United States and
to establish bureau of public health. 1t
was referred to committee of the whole.
A large number of bills for the construc-
tion of public buildings, etc, were reported
from the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, among them being the fol-
lowing:
By Mr.. Dibble, of South Carolina-To

preparations, reported the resolution for the

House what contracts have been made for
the construction of the new library build
ing, and the amount expended hereunder,

COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS.
Their Relations to State Health Boards
Explained.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received letter from
the Collector of Customs at Pensacola in
regard to the alleged conflict of jurisdiction
between the State quarantine officers and
the customs inspectors at that port, in
which he asks whether department decisions
Nos. 2,245 and 6,398 are still in force, or
whether customs inspectors must forego
the right to examine and certify the mani
tests of vessels arriving in port until it may
suit the convenience of the quarantine sur
geon to do So"
Assistant Secretary Maynard, in reply.
says that no material change has been made
in the decision referred to. and that the lat
ter decision was founded on the opinion of
the Attorney General This decision is to
the effect that the United States govern
ment has a clear right to see fer itself, and
by the eyes of its own officers whether its
customs laws are enforced at a quarantine
station as well as at other places, but that
this duty should be executed with due refer
ence to the States health laws and regula-
tionS
MUST NOT NEGLECT THEIR WORK.
Such conformaty, however, is not to
amount to an abstention from official duty,
and that the universal rule by which upon
a conflict between State and United Sta es
laws the former necessarily gives way
would not Justify customs officers in exclud-
ing health officers from policing places
which the former found necessary to occu-
py in the course of their duty,
Assistant Secretary Maynard says that the
department entirely concurs in this view of
the act passed by Congress to prevent the
introduction of contagious diseases, and he
calls attention to the sections of the act of
April 80, 1868, defining the duties of officers
or agents of the Marine Hospital Service at
ports where the Secretary of the Treasury
may deem it necessary to establish quaran-
tine, and which provides that "There shall
be no interference in any manner with any
quarantine laws or regulations as now
exist or may hereafter be adopted under
State laws"
MUST OBEY STATE LAWS.
Attention is also called to section 4, 100 of
the Revised Statu tes. wherein it is enacted
that 'quarantinesand other restraints estab-
lished by the health laws of any State re-
specting any vessel arriving in or bound to
any port or district thereof shall be duly
observed by officers of the custom revenue
of the United States.n That Is, Mr.. May
nard says, when they can do so consistently
with their duties as such officers
of customs. Mr.. Maynard closes his letter
as follows: THE question involved is a
delicate but not doubtful one, and al
though inspectors must conform their Off
cial actions to all legitimate and reasonable
regulations made for the protection of the
public health, yet State regulation which
forbids them from protecting the public
revenue is not reasonable and should not be
observed. You will conform your action TO
the views thus expressed

DEFECTS IN THE BEAMS.
Constructor Wilson's Report on tho
Charleston Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--The Secretary of
the Navy to-day received report dated
Feb. from Chief Naval Constructor Viii
son, in regard to the singular behavior Of
several deck beams intended for cruiser
No. the Charleston) while being worked
to shape" He says: I'm order that no
shadow of doubt shall exist as to the quality
of the material Incorporated in the hull of
the ship, l considered 1T for the
best interests of the government to have re-
moved from the ship the four beams referred
to by Constructor Fernald in his letter of
Dec. %, 1887, as having failed in working,
although welded and considered by him
sufficiently strong, and Others substituted.
| have to state, as the beam in ship has to
act, not merely as a girder which supports
the load, but as tie between the two sides,
and as part of the ships frame, it is import
ant that it should be made OF the very best
materials.
AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE
The failure of these four beams was GER
tainly an unusual occurrence, and at the
present time unaccountable, as the material
had stood all the regulation tests previous
to its receipt at the building yard. From
the various tests that have been made, and
from the general behavior of other beams
worked into the structure of the Charleston,
! am convinced that the steel used in her
construction is of excellent quality. The
rolling of this form OF beam brings
an excessive tension Of the hanges, and
the beams have also to undergo considerable
mechanical work in bending to shape and
the punching of rivet holes in the flanges
before being put in the vessel, and it was
after this work had been put upon them and
they still required further bending to shape
that they gave way through the lines of the
rivet holes.
SOMETHING SURE TO FAIL.
''In building every steel vessel it is ex-
pected that some materials, even after they
have passed all the other prescribed tests of
the government Inspector at the manu-
facturer's and rolling mills may fail in
working, and the instructions make wise
provision for the rejection of all such as do
fail. The failure of material in working on
the Charleston has been very small The
probable cause for the apparent Importance
given this matter was in allowing the beams
to be incorporated in the ship after their
failure. The reason why they failed is of a
character that l am unable to determine
The experiments as carried on have fully
demonstrated the necessity for annealing
beams, and Constructor Fernald officially
states that all the ''1'' bulk beams of steel
should be annealed, more especially those
subjected to an upward strain, caused
by the blast of heavy guns / fully concur
in the opinion expressed by him, and have
to suggest that hereafter all beams so
located as to require unusual strain be an
nealed before being placed in the ship"

BLAIR's POOR PROSPECTS.
Two Committees of the House Against
His Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Last year the
Blair bill passed the Senate by 25 majority.
The change shows the effect of the criticism
upon this measure of which Mr.. Blair, in
his closing speech to-day, complained
so bitterly. The friends Of the bill
claim large majority in the
House. 1t remains to be seen whether
their claim is well founded. Both the
committees to which the bill might be re-
ferred, the Education and Labor, are
against it by a large majority. Both have
pigeon holed copies Of the Blair bill
duly introduced and referred to
them. The original bill will meet
the same treatment Then it will be seen
whether the friends of the bill are strong
enough in the House 10 compel either com
mittee to report it. Perhaps they may try
10 pass it as it comes on before 1t is referred
e. a committee, but this will be even more

RUsSIA'S FRONTIER FORCE.
$4,000 Men with 2,25o Guns Ready
for an Outbreak


BERLIN, Feb 15.-Prince Bismarck, at q
dinner given by him yesterday to the mem
bers Of the Reichstag, alluded in the course
Of a conversation to the recent pacific
utterances of some of the Russian newspa-
pers as a symptom of general desire for
peace. The Russian government he said,
influenced only few journals in this direc-
tion, while the rest Of the papers took their
tone from their especial patrons.
The KreuEe Zeitung asserts that the
movements of Russian troops are being ac-
tolerated, and that reinforcements number
ing 1900 men have reached the villages OF
Marinpol, Kalvarja and Suevlaki, on the
main road skirting the Prussian frontier.
These troops, the RreuEe Zeitung says, can
only be designed as an advancing corps in
case it is decided to make sudden dash on
Koenigsberg. The paper further says that
the Russian force along the Austrian and
Roumanian frontiers is estimated at $40, coo
men, with 1850 guns. The field corps is
working actively, connecting the military
stations by telegraph lines with the
fortresses on the frontier and erecting along
the whole frontier line, at intervals OF a few
miles, seminal platforms

Polish mobiles, headed by Count Wfeldopol-
ski, referred to his intention to introduce
important reforms in the administration Of
Poland.
FRANCE URGED TO PREPARE.
PARIS, Feb. 15--M Flourens, addressing
the electors of Gap to-day, referring to the
foreign situation, said that all the neighbor-
ing nations had effected powerful concen-
tration of their forces, and that France
must follow their example. She must pur-
sue the work of army organization, and
must strengthen both her army and navy
in order TO flt them for whatever duties the
future had in store.
The Temps and other French newspapers
interpret the statement of Sir James Fergu-
son, Under Foreign Secretary, in the House
Of Commons yesterday, relative to Eng
lands foreign relations, as proof that there
is some kind Of informal agreement between
Great. Britain and Italy.
