THE NATION INsULrED.
This tire BY the Italians

This tire by the Italians!
The American base ball teams en- route
from Egypt to London stopped at POmpeii
and aaked to he allowed to play an exhibit
ton game there among the celebrated
ruins.
They were refused We call Secretary
BAYARDs attention TO this.
They offered to play two games in the
excayated colosseum at POmpsii and the
offer wss indignantly refused.
Secretary BAYARD refused TO fight on
account Of the Hay tan matter, ard pre-
ferred pesceable measures for the settle
ment of the Samoan question; but we
should like 20 hear from him on the sub
ice. Of this Italian insult to the Star Span
gled Banner.
When Mr.. STAMFORD PARRY, the
European manager of the teams offered to
play two games in the excavated COlcsse-
nm st Pompeii, he astOnished the Swans
and psychologists and his offer wss irdig-
nsntly refused.
We protest that this ia a oasus beli. The
nation has been insulted gIo sly so, in its
tendsrest point.
Mr.. PARRY said that the memorial Of
the C.EsARs would make a god backstOp,
but the Italian Government did not see
the aptness of the suggestion, and positive
ly refused to allow the great American
game to be played smid their cherished
memories
The uudaunted PARRY went TO Rome 10
try and hire the space enclosed by the ruins
Of the old Colosseum, but again the Stars
and Stripes were insulted. The Italian
government was scsndalized by his sug-
gestion of what the sons of sunny Italy
called sacrilege, and consequently ADRIAN
ANsoN's melcdious bsss will not echo
amid the ruins of Italy s former greatness.
Ia Vienna Mr. PARRY was more sue
csssful, and 10 doubt the game viii draw
large crowds there.
It ia uuderptoOd that the tour was g
great success financially, bat in Egypt the
receipts we're small. The probabilities are
that the two teams viii make short stay
in the Holy City, spending the remaining
tine between Austria, France ard Eng
land.

McMILLIN'S TARIFF BILL
Finally Considered and Ordered TO be He
ported to the House.

II
ported to the House.
WASHINGTON, D. O., February 16.-The
Ways and Means Committee had short
meeting this morning, but one full of re-
suits.
The McMillin Tariff bill, which was
presented to the committee yesterday was
finally considered and ordered to be re-
ported to the House.
According to the committees estimates
the bill would, if enacted into law, re-
drce the revenue $72 900. 900. 1t is close
" patterned after the Mills bill, retaining
the free list with few additions made by
the Senate. II omits, however, the chem
icsl, cotton and iron schedules, excepting
pig iron, rails, structural iron and tin
plate, which are treated as in the Mills
bill. The other changes made are in dates
and othrr unimpOrtsnt details.
ssWhen this was Disposed of the commit
tee, with view to having at hard bill to
meet immediate emergencies in the matter
of excessive revenue, authorized a favor
able report upon an original bilr prepared
by Representative Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, which proposes to put tin plate and
wool on the free list and to rtduce the in
ternal revenue as proposed in the Mills bill
which in its revenue actions is iden-
ucal with the Cowles bilD. The
bill also includes the wooden and
worsted cloth sections OF the Mills
bill. This measure, it is estimated,
would ieduce the revenue about sac. COO
600 II is generally believed that this
measure will be the main recourse of the
WAYS and Means Committee in the ap-
proaching conflict with the Appropriations
Committee.
Tee committee wound up its meeting by
directing favorable reports on some private
relief bills and on Mr.. Rice's bill amending
the statutes so as to include the Rsiney
Lake ard Lake of the Woods forest owners
of Minnesota in the privileges now ac-
corded those Of ST. Croix river, Maine, of
free importation Of their timber sawed in
Canada.

RAYARD Is ALL RIGHT.

Secretary BAYARDs foreign policy is
much abused even in his own party; bat
we doubt if any one can point to any just
cause for dissatisfaction with his conduct
Of our foreign affairs.
The greatest kick" has been made Oh
the Samoan matter, bat, sifted down to the
truth, we see, now, that Mr.. BAYARD
pursued the right policy.
Suppose he had, upon the strength Of the
sensational newspaper dispatches from
Samos, embroiled tie United States with
Germany and probably other nations, We
should have a pretty kettle Of fish on our
hands, now, woulda't we?
As it is the German government has
backed DOWN fIOm its high stand, and the
rights and dignity of the United States
have been preserved scrupulously in every
instance end point, without the firing Of a
gun.
Mr.. BAYARD has shown tact aud abil.
ity, no matter what the jiugoes in and out
OF his own party may say about it.
Mr.. BAYARD is not much on fireworks,
but he gets there. We don't want any
fireworks. Fireworks are expensive and
dangerous.

Other Notes.
The following interesting item concern.
ing Jack Glasscock, is taken from the New
York Sporting Times: Do you want to
know what the old "Mlaroons" remind
me? Well, I'll tellyou. They recall Bill
Nye's experience at the big Elephant Hotel
an Coney Island. Bill went to the Island
and while in state to see stars applied FOR
a room for nights lodging. He was at
trscted by a bright light in the elephants
eye He got room in the eye and when he
woke up in the morning he was down in the
mouth. This illustrs ton may be funny, but
my co-laborer Charlie Foster, and the
whilom holders of Maroon" stock in To-
dianspolis, may not feel in humor to ap-
precists it. They had their eye knocked
out and have been down in the mouth for
some time. Notwithstanding the many
long summers and hard falls the Ma
rooms have had, rtjoice to know that
the prospects are bright for a continuance
of tie team at Indianapolis. Let old time
Jack Glasscock have full control Of the
team and good ball-playing will be the
result. Jack wears beautiful diamond
cluster for his fidelity and efficiency in the
work Of tire ''MaroOns" while in st. Louis,
and be will wear crown for his efforts

"Howorth's Hibsrnica appeared at the

city regularly every season and invariably
plays to big business. The great secret of
his success is he never dissppoints an Gu-

GLASS MEN GONE.
The Selling Season over and Samples

Ane SehlnS SehSOu ONoT anu samples
Removed.
The experiment Of making Wheeling in
stead of Pittsburg headquarters by the
glass and pottery manufacturers Of this sec
ton has been tried, and it has, considering
circumstances, been quite success. True,
not quite so much glass was cold as in some
past seasons, but there are other reasons
besides the change of headquarters which
conspire to produce that effect.
There have been within the psst few
months more heavy failures among heavy
glass and crockery firms than during any
similar period in the history of the bust
ness These have caused both buyers and
sellers to be cautious, the latter particu-
larly. The year and half closing Janu-
airy first has been exceptionally prosper
GUS and sales have been enormous. The
effect was TO stock the market heavily,
and create a tendency toward small sales.
1t was also given cut early in the season
that sales would be light and the feeling
permeated to all quarters The idea that
the factories were not to be very busy Gre
ated the opinion that goods could easily be
gotten at any time during the season.
When next season opens the buyers will be
better acquainted with the city and the
factories In this district, and better sales
will be the result.

THE SCHOOL LEVY.

We trust the Senate viii see its way
clear to defeat the House bill raising the
school levy from Zoe. to l5c.
There is no necessity for a raise in the
school levy, which bears heaviest on a few
counties which already bear more than
their Just share Of taxation.
10 is not for the benefit Of education that
the increase ia proposed, and it will not
benefit the State to pu. it through; there
lie nothing rspels population and improve
ment and development ike exorbitsnt tax

and hurtful
Would il not be well for the Wheeling
