N'KINLBY'S TARIFF BILL,
It is Completed and Ready to
Report to the House.
PROVISIONS OF THE MEASURE.
The Iron and Steel SChcdulc...Ttn
Plate Industry Encouragcd..-Thc
Glass Scheuulcs...Thc Wool
Men VIII be Grntiiicd.

WASHINGTON, March lS.-The major.
ity OF the Ways and Means Committee
have practically agreed upon every point
oil division on the tariff schedules, and
tho reductions to be made from internal
revenues, AND will present tho bill to the
full committee for it's consideration be.
fore the end OF the week.
The clauses relating to carpet woods,
Mexican lead ores and one or two other
articles have not been finally and de-.
iinitely passed upon.
The following are the principa! pro.
visions in tue tariff schedule: The
chemical schedule contains but few
changes from the existing law. The
earth, earthenware aud glassware seized.
ulcs remain substantially rs in the ex.
listing law.
There arc n number OF important
changes in the metal schedule. Existing
rates arc maintained upon iron ore and
pig iron. Barbed wire for fencing is
made dutiabe at G.lO cents u pound,
which is below the duty upon that kind
OF iron entering into other
uses. Beams, cirders and structural
iron is reduced from to G.lO cents n
pound, which is Il reduction below that
OF the Senate bill. Railway iron is re.
duced G.l0c pound, the present rate
being $l7a ton, reduction OF aboutA
a ton, and reduction in the rate fixed
by tho Senate bill. The duty on steel
rails is reduced 81 a ton.
The duty OH tin plate is increased to
40 cents a pound. II is believed
that with this encouragement tin plate
will be manufactured in this country.
Already We make the sheet iron aud
steel, which is 30 per cent. OF the tin
plate, and with assurances that there is
tin in the Black Hills, it is thought a
great industry vii. spring up.
In the wool schedule, woods OF the
second class, known as combing woods,
l2c carpet woods, valued at l2c or less,
SIC a pound; valued at over 12c, Sc Il
pound. This is 4 reduction OF llc Il
pound from the Senate bill and an in
crease Of llc from the present law.
1t is believed that the definitions and
classitications and restrictions provided
for will make the duty even more yalua-
Bile to wool growers than the duty fixel
by the Senate bill. In the Mills bill
wool was put on the free list, and the
duty given to the manufacturers OF
woolen fabrics was from forty to forty
five per cent. AS this bill makes wool
dutiable, it gives compensation to the
manufacturers for the duty imposed up.
on wool. The difference between the
duty given the manufacturers by the
Mills bill and the proposed measure is
only 10 per cent. After giving to the
manufacturers compensatory duty for
the duty on wool, yarns and clothes are
made dutiable at 10 per cent advalorem;
additional WOODEN goods at so per cent
and ready-maje clothing at 20 per cent.

BALTIMORE l. OHIO STOCK.
Possible Change In the Ownership OF til
Euud-The Garrett Stock.

Possible Change In the Ownership of the
Eoud-Thn Garrett Stock.
BALTIMORE, Mp., March lS.-AIessrs.
John a. Hambleton 4 Company, Ba!ti-
more, have the following upon Baltimore
& Ohio: 'For sometime past there have
been rumors regarding possible change
in the ownership OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Company. Such rumors have not
been confirmed, but it is, incur opin-
ion, quite possible, we may say proba.
bic, that some day controlling interest
in the shares Of the Company will be
disposed Of. Considering the manner
in which the stock OF the Company is
held, such 4 contingency is very proba.
BILE. The Garrett family are supposed
to hold 10000 shares OF Baltimore &
Ohio stock, and since the lamentable
death OF Mr.. T. Harrison Garrett aud i'll
health OF Mr.. Robert Garrett, there is no
male member OF the family to conduct
the large interests in u. & o. left by MIR.
John W. Garrett. Under these circum-
stances it is reasonable to suppose that
the Garrett stock will be for sale at the
first favorable opportunity. The city OF
Baltimore is the next largest owner OF
b. & o. stock, owning 50 500 shares, and
next the Johns Hopkins University
with l7,5O0 shares. Here are three in.
terests which hold 100000 out OF the
10000 shares oi the Baltimore 4 Ohio
stock. 1t would take only 10000 shares,
or n majority Of the capital stock Of the
company, to control its management
aud it is readily seen how easy it would
be to obtain Il sufficient amount to
change the ownership aud management
OF the company. When the Baltimore
& Ohio Company is firmly estab,
lished OIL Staten Island, which it will
be sooner or later, the majol
interests Of the company will be centered
at New York. There are several railroad
systems which could use the Baltimore
4 Ohio to great advantage, and where
there is willing buyer and anxious
seller, Il trade is apt to follow. The
city OF Baltimore and~tEe Johns Hop.
kins University, should both, in ou,
opinion, dispose OF their holdings in the
Baltimore 4 Ohio Company. 1t was
never intended that The city should
speculate in Baltimore & Ohio stock, anG
its Baltimore 4 Ohio shares should have
been sold long ago. The Johns Hop
kins University needs its income, and
could aud should find more stable in
vestment. The Baltimore 4 Ohio Com
pany is not we'll and successfully man
aged in the interest OF the shareholders
Some day the company may chang,
hands, and no one can say in such
contingency what might be the fate O
the minority stockholders"

ClIICAGO'S LATEST MYSTERY,
a Woman Found Murdered md Her Illus.
band Suspected.

| CHICAGO, March 1s.-The police have
another murder mystery on their hands
Late Sunday night woman was found
lying in the road at the intersection ol
the Filty.tiith street boulevard aud
Morgan street. She was unconscious
and had evidently been there some time,
as the body was cold. The police
thought that she was intoxicated and
carted her 10 the Thirty.tifth street police
station, where she remained several
hours. As she showed no signs OF reviv-
ing, she was then removed 10 the County
Hospital, where she died last evening
without having recovered consciousness.
When the surgeons at the hospital ex-
amined her at tho time Of her arrival,
they found her scalp badly cut and a
fracture at the base Of the skull. There
were also bruises on her arms. It has
boon learned TINT the unfortunate
woman was Mrs. Jennie Bingham,
formerly OF Milwaukee, but known III
Chicago as Mrs. Jennie Taylor. Shu
has been living in this city with man
named Zach Taylor, an engineer. He
claims TINT she was married to man
named bingham, known in Milwaukee
rs "hlaior" bingham, but left him on
learning that he had another wife living.
She came to Chicago aud went to work
IL restaurant, where Taylor met her.
Since then, they have been living to.
gether. Taylor says she was in the
habit OF calling ut the place where he is
employed every night and waiting until
he was of duty at 0 o'clock, when they
would 80 home together. Tho last time
be saw her was Sunday afternoon. He
was much alarmed Sunday night Mt her
disappearance and last evening, on hear.
ing OF the unknown woman having been
conveyed 10 the hospital, went there
and identified her.
Taylor is held by the police. He
strongly protests his innocence of any
in her murder. The murder.
ed woman's sister, Mrs. Parks, OF this
city, tells the same story as Taylor about
her past life. She adds that her sister
was i'll great fear Of "Major" Bingham;
That he was madly in love with her and
she had said she feared he would kill
her il he found her. The landlady OF
the apartment house where Taylor and
the murdered woman roomed, claims
that a man answering the desert ption Of
Bingham given by Taylor, called several
days ago to see Mrs. Bingham, but she
was absent. Mrs. Parks says Bingham
was an inmate OF the insane ASYLUM at
Milwaukee ut one time, and afterwards
held some sort OF clerical position
there.
Mrs. Bingham left her sisters house
on State street Sunday evening to call as
usual for Taylor. She had but few
blocks to walk. Four hours later she
was found, as described above, at point
nearly five miles distant, lying in the
road in dying condition.
A dispatch from Milwaukee. saws:
George @. Bingham can not be found
here. He was sent to the county hos
pital some weeks ago, but was discharged
some days since. The police have not
seen him for several days.n

BERLIN, March lS.-The Emperor con.
t'nues to-day to withhold his formal ac.
ceptanco OF Prince Bismarck's 8 resigna.
1ion. Ills reason for not accepting It Is
that the constitution docs not admit Of
IN interregnum in the tenure OF tho
Chancellorship and rs the choice OF a
successor to Prince Bismarck is beset
with difficulty, his majcsty defers his &C.
eeptance until he finally decides whom
he shall appoint as Chancellor.
1t is stated to-day in we'll informed
political circles that the present differ.
ence between the Emperor and Prince
Bismarck is irreconciliable. 1t arises
from the Chancellor's refusal to accedo
to n request made by DR.. Windthorst,
the leader Of the Clerical party in Ger.

berland, the claimant OF the throne Of
hanover, the larger portion Of the

:, The report is repeated to-day that the
Emperor proposes to appoint General
Won Caphrivi, who is now commander
OF the Tenth Army Corps, to the Chan.
celorship.
The Rcichan:fgcr this morning makes
no allusion whatever to the resignation
Of Prince Bismarck.
The North German Gazette prince Bis
marck's organ), publishes the reports
concerning the resignation OF the Chan
cellor, but makes no editorial comment
on the subject.
The attitude OF the Emperor in oppos-
Ing Prince Bismarck in the matter OF
his resignation is taken as an indication
OF his desire to conciliate the clerical
party. II the Governmentis is to secure

A CITY MISSION

tertainmcnts to be Given.
A movement is on foot to establish
City Mission in Wheeling. The field
presented here for the kind OF work in
cluded in movements Of this kind as car.
ried on in other cities, is believed to be a
fruitful one. The movement, strictly
speaking, cannot, however, hardly be
called new movement, for really it is
only a continuation OF the work begun
last October, when Evangelists Hogan
and Sawyer were secured to come to
Wheeling.
From the first, there have been some
persons who have ventured TO hope that
the work begun in the headquarters Of
the wheelmen, on Market street, might
be continued, in some form. permanent
ly, and the announcement is authorized
that'there is now some good ground for
believing thatthis hope may be realized-.
that the experiment may be tried at least.
The building referred 10 as "Hogan's
Tabernacle" has been rented for one
year from the first OF April, for the pur.
pose OF making tho experiment OF mis-.
sion work on plan somewhat different
from anything heretofore attempted
in Wheeling. Evangelistic meetings
held in the evening will constitute only
one feature Of the work. 1ti is intended
to make the place sort OF home ior
that large class Of men who have no
place of resort but the 1aloops,. many Of
whom, it ia believed, would be glad to
be free from the influence OF these
places. It is hoped that a small reading
room can be fitted up, where there viii
be quiet, comfortable place to res. and
read. Besides this, it is the intention,
as soon as practicable, to provide cheap
lunch for snch Na may desire, which
will take the place OF the so.called "free
lunches" furnished in saloons.
1t is hoped and believed that many
Christian people in Wheeling will be
interested in such an enterprise and
that many noble.hea,ted women will be
glad to end suoh an opportunity for
work, In q Geld OF such promise and one
which the churches, by ordinary
methods, have been unab,a 70 reach.
