He May Be Chosen TO Preside Over the
B. Il o.
BALTIMORE, December IA combined
effort is being made to displsce Mr.. Spen'
cor from the Presidency of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. 1t is organized in the
interest of Charles F. Mayer. the present
head of the Consolidated Cosl Company,
aud one Of the directors who helped tC
make up TIE last ticket. This movement
is not of recent birth. Ever sioce Mr..
Spencer was elected 10 succeed MIR. Garrett,
the combine has been quietly working TO
gain Dos session Of the road, and so skill
folly have they been operating that moi
until the recent coup were their Intentions
made public. There are Il stockholders
directors, and II city and state directors.
Nc. Meyer belongs to the stockholders
representatives, aud his friends claim that
he has sufficient votes to make him
formidable candidate.
Should this fight be pressed and neither
Of the two sides give IN before election,
the very thing that they have dreaded vii
come to pass. The State and city directory
as it is called, consisting of eleven repre-
seutatives, hold the balance of power, and
can by concerted action turn down the
stockholders and elect one of their owr
number to the position. 1t has long beer
whispered that Senator German would
like 10 be AZ the head Of the great corpora
ton. If this is true, the opportunity tc
crafty his desire would seem TO bs near a'
hand.

the late election had settled the question
of tariff legislation. He (Mr. Vest) was
net dishsartensd by that result 1t the
Senator from Ohio aud his party thought
that the election had settled the tariff
question, a greater mistake had never been
made by mortal man. Mr.. Vest under
took to contIsvene the statement made yes
terdsy by Mr.. Sherman, that on the
N netal schedule there was reduction OF
ten per cent. duty in the substitute,
Mr.. Aldrich made explanations in COu-
tradicsion of Mr.. Vests ststement and de-
clared that Mr.. Shernan's statement wss
correct. After long debate Mr.. Harris
amendment to reduce the duty on steel
beams from lilo cents to go cents pr
pound was rejected. Yeas, 20; nays, %.
The rate was then on motion of Mr..
Vest and with the support of Mr.. Allison
and the Republicans, fixed it at one cent
