NEW TARIFF BILLS.
Three Measures Proposed for the Reduc-
tion of Duties Upon Imports.

Three Measures Proposed for the Reduce
tion of Duties Upon Imports.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-Three tariff
bills were reported from the Committee on
Ways and Means to-day. Mr.. Mcmillan,
of Tennessee, reported bill to reduce taxa
ton and simplify the laws in relation to in
ternal; Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, a
bill to reduce taxation and for other pur-
poses, and Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
reported the Cowles bill, amending the in
ternal revenue laws, with majority and
minority report.
The report accompanying the tariff bill
presented by Mr.. Breckenridge, says that
the aggregate reduction proposed is SAL
730, 900. On tin plates, S5,704, 435; wool,
S6, $780, ,053; woolen schedules, $12, ,254, 512;
tobacco, SIT, 1881 900. Mr.. McMillan's re-
port accompanying the tariff bill reported by
him, says the bill is rendered in a spirit of
compromise. Practically it is the bill here
tofore passed by the House with the chemi-
cal, cotton and most of the iron schedules
stricken out. The greater part of the report
is devoted to an argument In favor of the
tariff reduction based upon an array of fig
ures showing the value of agricultural pro-
ducts at different periods.
In the majority report accompanying the
Cowles bill, it is stated that the enactment
of the bill would reduce the estimated
surplus for the fiscal year 1890 from $53,-
49,, ,511 to S22, 745, 165. The taxes proposed
to be repealed by the bill reported are par
ticularly oppressive on the farmer, both in
the amount of tax levied against his pro-
duct as well as in the vexatious manner of
its collection. There is no longer, in the
opinion of the committee, any justification
for the continuance of these taxes.

hope not probably,
CHICAGO opinion somewhat bears out our
remarks regarding the inferiority of the Nc
Auliffe-Myer affair.
BILLY O'BRIEN says that he was the only man
in New York who had nerve to take hold of
the female bicycle race, and now he is the only
man who regrets it.
Mr.. JACKSON ]. CASE, of Racine, Wis, has
purchased of W. R. Brasfield the bay co.I
Baron Harold, years, by Baron Wilkes, dam
Harold, for $1,000. Baron Harold is one of the
most promising colts in Kentucky. He
trotted a mile last season, when 2year-old,
in 2:40.
Mr.. ROSE, of Los Angeles, owner of the trot-
ting stallion StambouI, has received an offer OF
$4,000 for the horse. The offer is made by w.
H. Crawford, the well-known turfman, who
telegraphed Orrin Hickok to make deposit to
bind the purchase Rose has not yet decided
to accept the offer. Stamboul has the fastest
record of any race horse bred in California,
having mile record of 2:l4A as 6-year-old, a
trot against time.

DIVISION AND ADMISSION
Into the Union Is Demanded by the People
of Dakota Territory.

Into the Union Is Demanded by the People
of Dakota Territory.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-Repre-
sentative Cox, of New York, who offered
successfully the series of instructions to the
House conierees on the Territorial bill,
looking to the immediate admission to the
Union of South Dakota, has received the
following letter:
FARGO, OAK, February II.
DEAR SIR: Let me again thank you for your
magnificent efforts on behalf of Statehood for
the Dakotas and the other territories. To u.s.
who 1--we out here, your remarks from one
whose life has mostly been spent in the forum
of intellectual and commercial activity in the
East, read like an inspiration. SO graphically
have you pictured the situation.
Rightly or wrongly the impression has been
created here, and to some sextent elsewhere,
that the Democratic party is responsible for
denying the people of Dakota their undoubted
right to come into the Union as the two States.
when they possess all the qualifications of pop
ulatlon, wealth and territorial area. From
party standpoint,' this injuries here. Why is
the South solid on one side? The Democratic
party should not adopt policy to make a solid
Northwest on the other side. The people of
Dakota are practically unanimous in favor of
division and Statehood. 1t is useless to waste
time in taking another vote on division. Let US
have Statehood at once and our party have the
credit of giving it to us.
All parties here applaud your efforts, and let
me say in conclusion that should YOU visit the
West you will be received with a hearty wei
come from the shores of the Mississippi to
Puget Sound. Yours respectfully,
MARTIN RYAN,
Chairman Democratic Territorial Committee.

An Alleged New Discovery of 127 Scatter.
ing Illegal Ballots


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
wILLIAMsPoRT, February 16.-There
was another surprise in the Judgeship con-
test during the meeting OF the court to-day,
when council for the contestants presented
an additional amendment to the original
petition. This document sets forth 127
fraudulent votes in addition to those already
specified, divided among IS townships. The
number of these varies from to IL
votes. These facts, the petitioners claim,
are based upon knowledge obtained since
the filing of the original petition and
amendments, and within ten days. The
amendment is quite numerously signed,
principally by the original signers, with
few additional names thereto Their alle-
cations are sworn to by ten of these whose
signatures are attached.
Counsel for the respondent interpose an
objection, which was overruled by the
Court, and sufficient time given in which to
file an answer. AT the request OF the
counsel for the petitioners, the Court ex-
tended the time for taking testimony on
their side for 62 days from to-day. By this
arrangement it will be the 1st of May before
the petitioners get through with their testi-
mony, and as the respondents will Ie al
lowed the same length of time, the taking
of testimony cannot now be closed before
the 1st of August.
The Court ruled on several questions GER
titled by the examiners in respect to the ad-
mission of testimony objected to, allowing
the examiners to hear all points raised,
which could be entered on the record and
afterward discarded by the Court in case of
irrelevancy. An order was also issued
directing the examiners to have the pro-
ceedings printed up to date from time to
time The court then adjourned, to meet
again in two weeks. In the meantime the
examiners will proceed with the work of
taking testimony, witnesses being
subpenaed for every day next week except
Tuesday and Saturday.

LONDON, February 16.-The fiction that
all the members of all the royal families are
closely related, and should feel each others
griefs keenly-a fiction which is strongly
encouraged by Queen Victoria-gives a
gloomy look to things about the English
court on many unnecessary occasions. Just
now the drawiDgroom is coming on, and
young women, English and Americans, are
desolated to learn that the Empress Fred
erick will be with her mother, and that
therefore all the ladies of the court and Am
bassador's wives will be expected to display
their still existing grief at the death of EN-
peror Frederick by appearing in black.
Fortunately, the young women not suffi-
ciently distinguished to belong to the i'm
mediate court circle, will not be condemned
TO black, but can wear, if no fresh royal
death turns up, the gay gowns which they
have ordered. A good part of the show,
however, will be spoiled for them, and they
will lose the opportunity of seeing all the
female royalties and their satellites in gor-
geous attire.

Rather Happy Union.

On Engagement of the Kind That Augurs a
Rather Happy Union.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, February 16.-It appears that
the Czarowitz, who, dynamite permitting,
is one day to be Emperor of Russia, and
who has caused SO many princess hearts to
futter, has at last had settled for him the
question as to whom he shall make the fu-
ture Empress. The Princess Alexandria,
of Hesse, is the girl. She is tine grand
daughter of the Queen of England, and
barely II years old. She is more fortunate
than the parties to such marriages usually
are, inasmuch as the Czarowitz is mild and
good natured, and, it appears, very much
devoted to her.
The engagement, which will formally
solemnlze the fact that the Princess has
made the biggest catch in the world, will be
officially gone through with shortly before
Lent
