MILLS AND THE TARIFF BILL.

MILLS AND THE TARIFF BILL.
Special TO the Gazette.
WAsHINaToN, April 3.-Mr. Mills WAS
at the capitol to-day for the first time
since he was III, but he only remained q
short time to introduce his tariff bill and
report. He is still very weak and his
physicians forbid him to overexert him
self. He is far from being 8 well man
yet. He has slep. little for the past week
snd Is compelled to take narcotics to
supsrinduce rest, but he expects to give
this artificial method of forcing sleep a
wide berth here, f er. 1t is quite likely
Mr.. Mills will go to Atlantic
City or some other resort for
change of sir and scene tor q week or so.
He Is very much changed and displeased
thst his tariff report should have been
premsturely published by q newspaper
man VINO chances to hold the position of
private clerk to SPEAKER Carlisle. TIE
Speaker was furnished with an advance
copy of the report in cor fdence, and o.
csr Steady, his clerk, VINO Is the cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, got 1t and sold 1t to special pa-
pers, besides furnishing the Courier
Journal. The entire committee and, in
tact, Congress itself Is greatly pro-
voked. II was unfair to the 9TH
er correspondents here TO allow any
| such thing to happen and the consequence
is that instead of Mills report being
widely scattered over the country, as was
his Intention, 1t was only publ he'd in three
or four newspapers, and thousands of
others which did not get 1t will not pub
lish it now.
GOT INTO TROUBLE.
Washington, April &C. P. McMsins
o. NV Mex CO has got into temporary
trouble. He appeared g. the capitol early
| this morning with his arms full Of
C rculars, signed by himself as "sgent for
! the Settlers" charging official corrup-
| ron sgsinst Commissioner OF
tn General Land Office william
son. Secretary Lamar, President Cleve
land and the Supreme court in copnec-
! ton with the Maxwell land grant. While
distributing them on the east front of the
| capitol his pistol wenl CT, but whether
~ accident or design 1t is not known
he WAS quickly taken in charge and sent
down to the Police court to be charged
,, with carrying concealed weapons and
with distributing documents contrary to
law. His circular is cob rent, and aside
evidence Of crsnkiuess.
EMBARGO ON PORK.
WARRINGTON, April "A dispatch has
just been received oy the Department of
State from the American Minister at Co |
penhagen, stating that the Danish gov
eminent has issued an order forbiddipg
autil further notice the importation into
Denmark Of pork or other raw products
of hogs, Including bladders and steam
lard.
INDECENT INTERFERENCE.
WASHINGTON. April Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton is very indignant
over the published report that the family
Of the late Chief Justice Waite Is In great
financial distress. The Post this morning
published an interview with him on the
subject, in which he says that while the
reports are absurd he fears that they m,y
be believed by unthinkipg people. he
says that Judge Waite's sons are both
we'll to. do, and whatever their fathers
estate may have been the family
Ia not likely to want for anything. What
subject should BE- discussed at oil. Such
family In the midst of Mrs. Waite's great
and indecent. The suggestion about q
begging committee of the friends Of the
family is entirely unfounded SO far as he
knows, and this int ference with the
private sffairs Of the family so soon after
Judge Waite's death in the midst of Mrs.
Waite's great grief must be very pail full
to her, and to Mr.. Edgerton 1t seems an
Outrage.
