WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.-There
is at this time the most hopeful outlook
for the Mills bill. Not that theIe is exPec-
tation that that measure will pass exactly
as it was completed in committee to-day,
but that it will be the basis upon which
the Democrats will unanimously join.
There is a spirit of cancellation manifest
that looks to the speedy passage of the bill
after it is reported. The confidence of the
Democrats is represented by the fact that
the Republicans dare not call caucus to
determine the position Of the party, be-
cause they are so hopelessly divided that
they would only lay themselves open to
ridicule. For some days there has been a
mild Irritation between the Ways and
Means Committee and Mr. Randall, who
has been q source of anxiety to the pro-
nounced tariff reformers.
General COffroth, who has been one OF
RandalIs intimate friends during long
public career, made the discovery, while
in the city during the past week, that it
was only q question of getting all hands
together TO secure an understanding on
the tariff. He undertook the delicate
mission, and it required but a few
consultations to establish the fact that
each side only have to give half
way to accomplish a satisfactory union.
The msjority of the Ways and Means
Committee are in perfectly good temper
with each other, and on Monday next Mr..
Mcmillan, representing the committee,
will confer with Mr.. Randall with view
TO harmonizing action. Unless some unfor-
seen difficulty should present itself be
tween now and next Monday there will
be thorough understanding that will in
suce the passage of the Mills bill in an
amended form.
Another encouraging feature is the fact
that sugar men will.agree to a fifteen per
cent reduction. In the bill it is twenty.
Yielding this the sugar men will support
the bill. The Louisiana Democrats, how
ever, say that they will stand the cut on
sugar if the Democrats will stand the wool
revision, as il would be stand off to the
producer in each section.

A VERY LIVELY ROW.
ANGRY SPARKS ScINTlLLATING PROM fHE
GOULD wIGwAN.


NEW YORK, March c0.-There is lively
row in the Gould camp.
Not little row, but big row-a row
where names are being called and threats
INDUCED in.
Well may the interested and involved
persons fill the telegraph wires with ur-
gent solicitations to Jay Gould to hurry
home
It was at the meeting Of the Missouri
Pacific Railway directors, held week ago
To- day, that this delectable how-d'ye-do
broke out Itwas rather hot at the start,
but day by day II has grown hotter and
hotter, till now the air Is all the Gould
headquarters is loaded down with the
smoke Of denunciations and the biazCs Of
threatenings.
n This was the way it came about: Wall
street has been filled with reports, dated
back long time, that the Missouri Paciiic's
dividend was about to be materially ne
duced. People who pose as "insiders"
have tried to pooh. pooh these runios down
but pooh pooling would not work, and the
belief has grown continually stronger that
the reports of prospective reductions were
true. Yesterday out came the annual re-
pots of the roads In the Gould Southwest
ern system, making il pretty plain by their
wretched showing that, reduced dividends
or not, there are lots Of causes for worri-
ment among stockholders.
This report in detail was before the
meeting Of directors ut last Tuesdays
meeting, and il was good deal Of y sur
prise TO some Of those present But aston
ishment at the bad showing did not pre-
vent q prompt motion from one Of tho
directors TO declare the usual dividend at
the rate Of seven per cent.
George J. Gould objected. The diyi-
dend ought TO be reduced, he said. Rus.
sell Sage insisted on the motions passage.
Young Mr.. Gould was not TO he put down.
The motion was laid on the table. Gould
Jr, was triumphant-ior the time 1T be-
ing finally agreed TO let q dag Of truce
stand staked Till Jay Gould himself should
be heard from.
Say those who are displeased with
George Gould's determined stand for re.
duction Of the dividend: ''He has lately
uStu WI D<bt rthV W thV
stock market He has sold short his
fathers securities, and he needs Ieduc-
ton in the Missouri Pacific dividends 10
help him get out even" These charges
against yoppg Mr.. Gould are followed with
the naming Of the stock brokers Offices
where he is declared to have made his
short contracts.
Another intimation that Is abroad has
II that George Gould has q partner In his
bear speculations, that partner being his
younger brother, known TO Wall street
fame as bad Boy Eddie" There Is
noting particularly novel In Eddie Gould
going short ofpapa's stocks. He has done
II openly, and his fhther, when asked
about it, has seemed to be rather proud
as he met the question with whispered,
"And they do say that the boy made
money coppering me-" Now do you
really think he didp In answer 10 the
comments that have been made upon
their stand against moro seven per cent.
dividends, the junior Goulds answer that
the people who are mad have got loaded
down with stocks that they cannot sell and
now want 10 misuse the Missouri PaciGc's
finances TO help them out.

BADEAU'S STATEMENT.

A Lengthy Viadication of Himself Fred
Grant Scored.
New YORK, March 20.-The Sm will
tomorrow publish General Adam Badeau's
version of the controversy which has risen
between himself and General Grants fam
lily. General Badeau is somewhat severe
in his structure on the course pursued by
Colonel Fred Grant in the matter. lie
says that General Grant called him away
from his own literary work TO assist
first in the preparation Of magazine
articles and then in that Of the me
moirs," that they thought this would oc-
cupy perhaps three months, whereas, in
fact, it had occupied seven months when
he retired; that General Grant supposed he
might realize $50, 900 to $50, 600 from the
work, and, of his own notion since its pub
lication, would stop Gen. Badeau from re-
alizing fully on his intended Life Of
Grant" he gave him Badeau the already
published contract 10 pay him $1,000
from the first $40, 900 profits and 5000
from the next $4,000; that Gen.
Grant insisted on this matter be
ing kept secret; that when he
received his first installment Of $40, 900 he
paid Gen. Badeau $3.50, thus ratifying the
contract; that he (Badeau) finding that
the work was TO he such remarkable sue.
cess, and realizing that his own work on
which he had spent sixteen years would be
correspondingly injured, he wrote General
Grant suggesting a new contract; that TO
this he received his letter Of dismissal, all
in the handwriting Of Col. Fred Grant, ex-
cept the signature. Gen. Badeau asserts
that Col. Grant, when it appeared that his
father would be unable to finish the work,
suggested that Badeau complete il and al
low it to be published as his Fred Grant's)
work.
His part in the work he states as fol
lows: "For months l spent four or five
hours o day at his side and many hour
