Blair and Stewart.
Mr.. Gibson's amendment was advocated
by MessrS. Hale, Hawley, Sherman, Evarts

Mr. Morgan said that he found no diff
Guilty in puttirg the word ambassador" on

REED'SRUN FOR SPEAKER
M'KINLEY'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT
THAT OHIO WILL WIN.

The Count on Blaine Helping Them
Along as Secretary of State Reeds
Friends Claim that the Party Has
Obligated Itself to Support Him
Other Aspirants Far Behind.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Mr McKinley's
friends think, and apparently with jus
tice, that Mr. Mckinley is now more
likely than any of the other can
ddates for the speakership to secure the
prize. They assume, of course, that Mr..
Blaine will go into the cabinet, and that
this will handicap Mr.. Reed heavily at the
start 1t will also increase Mr.. Blaine's
opportunities aud abilities to help
Mr. Mckinley, as he has been
doing, and to hinder Mr.. Reed. As a
result of Mr.. Blaines effort the other Maine
members are not working very arduously
for Mr.. Reed, and several New England
members-elect have written Mr.. Mckinley
that they will su port him.
STRONG IN THE WEST.
Meanwhile his strength in the west is
growing constantly. Tho reports circulated
some davs ago that the republicans elected
from California and Kansas to the next
House we're solid for Mr.. Reed are now de-
med by the republican members of these
delegations.
Mr.. McKnley's friends say that the nomi-
nations given to Mr.. Reed by the republi-
can caucuses during the congresses con
trolled by democrats meant only that the
republicans wished him for leader then, not
that they wished him for speaker now.
Representative Farquhar Of New York,
one of Mr. Reeds most Jealous supporters,
says that this latter statement is untrue.
CONSIDERED COMMITTED.
He says that the republicans of the House
have commit ed themselves to Mr. Reed for
spe ker, and cannot now draw out under
the cover of a sophlstry. He thinks that
Mr. Reed grows stronger constan ly, says
he is especially strong with the old mem-
bers who are reelected and predicts that as
the now members-elect come in they will
become Reed men.
Mr.. Cannon is still at work, and so is Mr..
Burrows, but they are only dark horses

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-In the Senate to-
day the bill to change the date for the COM
mencement of the March term of the United
States district court for the northern dis
trict Of Georgia from the first to the second
Monday, was reported and passed.
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio-Having received
kilograms from Georgia protecting against
the passage of the Barnes bill to provide
for district court sessions at Augusta on
the misunderstanding from t Q associated
press dispatches that it tranferred counties
from the southern to the northern district
moved TO-DAY to reconsider the vote by
which the Senate passed the bill. Tonight
Mr.. Barnes explained to him that the bill
as passed by the Senate did not transfer
counties from the southern to the northern
district, but transferred three counties
from the northern to the southern district,
and then established TIE southeastern divi-
sion of the southern district.

A Singular Fact ia Connection with

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Oklahoma
bill is supposed to be coming up tomorrow
in the House, with the prospect of hot

say it will pass. But even they
would not be surprised If the
consideration of the bill should be pre-
vented by some unexpected event. Three
times it has seemed to be as near getti-g con-

its consideration has been preYente by the

NOT A CASE OF RESTRICTION.
CROP ENDS OF STEEL.
The Supreme Court Holds That They
Are Dutiable.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-The supreme
court of the United States decided to-day
in the customs suit, brought to determine
the rate of duty on crop ends of Bessemer
steel rails, that the New York collector of
customs had properly assessed a duty of
forty-ive per cent. on the importation
under the tariff provision for steel
not specially enumerated or provided for
The importer claimed that crop ends were
dutiabe at 20 per cent. as "unwrought
metal" In an opinion by Jus ice Blatch-
ford the court holds that Bessemer steel
rail crop ends are none the less steel because
they are an excess of material and not fit
for use without being remelted OF reheated,
ard that, therefore, they are dutiable as
steel not espec ally enumerated.n

The Committee Modifles and Then APP
proves 1t.
BERLIN, Jan. 2S. The committee of the
reichstag to which was referred the East
Africa bill has approved of the measure,
after striking out the clause placing the
East Africa Company under control of
Capt. Wi smann. During the consideration
of the bill by the committee Count Herbert
Bismarck said that it was impossible to an
nounce Capt. Wissmann's instructions, be-
cause Capt Wssmann could not decide
upon tie course TO be adopted till he
arrived in East Africa. In opposition to
the stand taken by Herren Windthorst and
Vnchow, Count Herbert defended the gov
ernment's policy Of retaining fourteen Ger
man stations IN o interests of trade.
THE APPROPRIATION.
OF the amount appropriated by the bill
| 900 900 marks will be devoted TO the pur-
chase Of arms and ammunition aud the re-
mainder will be held in reserve. Count
Herbert stated that the relations between
Germany and England had not been dis
turbed during the last three years England
attached great importance to the malnte-
eance of the authority Of the sultan of Zan-
zibar, which Germany therefore also de-
sired to be maintained. Herr Oechelhaeuser,
director of the East Africa Company, was
Of the opinion that the measure would lead
TO tue suitan's downfall and that then only
would matters be prosperous in East Africa.

While speaking OF the East Africa bill in
the reichstag Saturday Prince Bismarcks
voice was unusually weak, being almost in-
audible except TO those near him, ana gave
the impression that as be was sligatly in
disposed his speaking troubled him. His
reference TO the cooperation Of England
with Germany in East Africa caused
good impression.
