WASHINGTON CITY. Nov. GO. Among
the members of the house now here no
one is more sought after by reporters
than Maj Mckinley, who arrived yester-
day. He was asked yesterday whether
the Republican majority of the ways
and means committee would refuse
TO consider any proposition looking to the
reduction OF the tariff rates.
4Well, would not like to say that they
would refuse TO do that" said Mr.. Nc
kinney. "why don't you ask me whether
there will be any changes made In the
law as 1t now standsS'
The correspondent having assured the
major that an answer TO the substituted
question would be perfectly satisfactory
the major went on in positive tone to
say:
viii Stand by the Law.
Il can assure you that in my best judg.
ment there will be absolutely no changes
made in the tariff law during the coming
session, with one exception. believe
that congress will insert in the internal
revenue section the rebate clause which
was Inadvertently omitted by the clerk in
the engrossing OF the bill. There is no
doubt that the conference committee In
tended that clause to remain in the bill,
and expect that the mistake will be rec
titled. l think can safely state that
there will be no other changes and the
major smiled.
Gov. Gear L. Z mphatic.
At this point Governor Gear. of Iowa,
who was sitting beside Mr.. Mckinley dur
ing the conversation. broke in with his
contribution to the history of the subject
-No," said he in his usual emphatic man
ner. "there will be no other changes, not
so much as a jot or a little, not the dot
ting OF an Il nor the crossing of It, not
even the insertion of comma or semi
colon. Let the law stand IS it is"

The Charity Organization.

The charter for this institution
authorizes the summary dispo-
sition of beggars, tramps, and
uncared-for children wherever
found. In its workings it proves
to be the great artery whence
flows patronage to various
branches. Children may be le-
gally bound to the Home, if it
is proved that they are not be-
ing brought up in comfort and
in morality. They may be
sent to the hospitals if sick, and
to good homes fable to work.
