who had stock to the value of 81 800, re-
signed his position and told Mr.. Atwood
that he must either buy his stock or make
showing. Mr.. Atwood did not buy the
stock.
MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS.
A meeting of the stockholders was called
and committee appointed to look into the
affairs OF the paper. About this time John
Stocks, who had 81 900 worth of stock, be-
came interested with view to seeing that
matters were Strengthened out. The COM
mittee made favorable report,
but did not satisfy Messrs Near
and Stocks, Mr.. Near saying
that he knew more than the committee did
Yesterday afternoon another meeting of
stockholders was held, and Mr.. Atwood
stated that he could not buy the stock Of
Messrs. Near and Stocks, and matters were
in more money he could do nothing.

about $21, 900. The Capitol first made its
appearance July l. 1885, and made quite a
favorable start. Isaac w. Avery was the
first editor in charge. and he resigned in the
fall of 1886. Kit Warren was the editor

VERY SLOW WORK.

Tho Tariff Hill VIII Not Re Reported to
the House This Month.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-The state
ment that the tariff bill will be ready to
be reported to the House by Washington
birthday does not appear to be in fair
way to matsrialize.
Representative Bynum, Of the commit
tee, SAYS: 81 don't know who authorized
the statement that the bill would be ready
for the House this month. l cannot say
when it will be in shape for reporting, but
certainly not for sc:ne time yet. We have
gathered an enormous amount OF matter
on the tariff and compiled many statistics,
but up to this time not line has been
drawn of the bill proper. We are doing
the best that can be done, but 1t IS slow
work"
A Republican member of the committee
says: There Is q mistaken notion ahoat 10
the effect that the Republican members oi
the committee are engaged in their prepa-
ration of a substitute bill which Is to be
offered when the majority report IS made.
There is absolutely no truth IN this. The
Republicans don't k3ow what the Demo
Gratis are doing, and they will not be able
tn find out for weeks TO cone. lt Is not
likely that any substitute will be formula
ted before the bill of the committee is reg
ularly reported"
Altogether the prospect for some speedy
legislation on the tariff is not particularly
encouraging.

Mr.. Kerr, of Iowa, cGst the consiiera-
ton OF the bill into political current,

Eerred to the internal revenue laws, and
declared tha: at one of its, State eonven-
tious-hs did not precisely remember, the

Mr.. Burns, Of Missouri, id that he had
no recollection Of any such action by the
Democratic party of Missouri, and Mr..
Hatch denied that such q resolution had
ever been adopted.
Mr. Kerr said the gentleman was mis-
taken, and WAS challenged by Mr.. Hatch
to produce proof to substantiate his state
ment.
Mr. Kerr replied that he had no proof
with him, but that he had il at home.
Mr. Hatch expressed his readiness to
wait until the gentleman went home for
his proofs, intimating his doubt as to
whether the gentleman would ever return.
The gentleman would find he said that
every Democratic convention held in Mis-
souri, fer the past ten years, had adopted a
resolution demanding that Congress should
wipe OFT the statute book the provision Of
the revenue law, which prevented the
farmer from selling his tobacco to any but
licensed delears.
That provision had been passed by a
Republican Congress, and signed by Re-
publican President, and 1t fastened the
shackles upon the tobacco grower.
Having completed the consideration Of
