WASHINGTON TOPICS
Programme in Congress for the
Present Week.
THE XHNLNY Tariff BILL
Unexpected 0ppodtion to the Measure
Develops in the Senate.
THE NHNLNY TARIFF BILL

Mr.. EvRrts viii Oner Amendments that
VIII Delay Its Passage Republican
Members to Force the silver Question
to q conclusion in the House-Ns Tariff
Talk in tho House.
WAsHINaroN, April 29.-The Senate
during the week will dispose of the
Land Grant Forfeiture bill, the Pension
Appropriation bill and possibly the
Customs Administration bill, known as
the Mckinley bill. The Land Grant
Forfeiture bill remains unfinished bust
ness on the calendar, and the intention
is to take it up Immediately at the con-
olusion of the morning business to-day
and proceed with its discussion until it
is disposed of. It is likely that tho
Appropriations Committee will attempt
to sandwich the Pension bill in between
this measure and the Mckinley bill.
The Appropriation bill has no place in
the order of business, but the other
business of the Senate must give it
right of way. 1t was thought at first
that the Mckinley bill would go through
the Senate without opposition in the
form in which it came from the Finance
Committee. There was no opposition
to it in that Committee and there will
DO no Dem ocratic opposition of import
ance on the floor of the Senate. But
opposition has developed in new
quarter and it promises to delay by a
day or two the passage of the bill, Mr..
Evarts has announced his intention of
offering some amendments to the bill
as reported from the Committee, the
chief of which is a proposition that all
final judgments when in favor of the
importer shall be paid by the Secretary
of the Treasury from the permanent
and definite appropriations provided
for in the bill. This proposed amend
msnt does not meet with the sanction
Its introduction ia likely to lead to
some debate:'
House of Representatives..
1t Is the intention of the Republican
leaders of the House to force the silver
question to a conclusion so far as the
House is concerned during the week.
The compromise silver bill will be the
measure brought forward and two days
will be given to its discussion, voting
on its passage to take place Immediately
at the conclusion of the debate. The
Morrill, Service Pension bill, which
recently failed to gain a hearing under
suspension Of the rules, will be consid-
cred probably on Tuesday, and pushed
to . conclusion before adjournment of
that day. This bill was sanctioned by
the Republican caucus on last Wednes-
day and the Republicans have virtually
pledged themselves to its support. An
arrangement has been made by which
one day in the week, probably Friday,
will be set apart for the passage of
public building bills. To-day is being
devoted to matters concerning the
District Of Columbia. Mr.. Mckinley
has stated that the Tariff debate will
bring forward the Dingley bill to in
crease the duties on worsted cloths.
Mr.. Henderson, Of Illinois, would like to
have the River and Harbor bill called
up for discussion, but It, Is probable
| that he will defer to the wishes of the
Republican leaders in regard to the pro-
| gramme for the week.

Senators and Representatives and
Their Treatment OF Newspaper Men.
Amos J. Cummings, the well known
newspaper man and congressman from
New York stated a few days sincethat Mr.
Simonds of Hartford has the best voice
of any member of the house. OF the
other members of the Connecticut delega-
ton correspondent writes that the best
man :or the ne VS. gatheres is Mr. Wilcox,
as he is always pleasant and gives news
when he has it; that Mr. Miles makes
himself of no use to newspaper men
that Mr. Simonds is so wrapped up in
craftsmanship that he has little time for
anything but work and that Mr. Rus
sell is always willing but never has
much. Of the two senators, the CORE
spondent writes that Mr. Platt is always
courteous, but that he dislikes to be
quoted, and that Mr. Hawley is apt to be
frigid until he has assured himself that
he is substantially recognized as q sena-
tor of the United States.

On April the 9Th we opened to the pub

Western Connecticut. There are ten of
us in this concern and it takes considerable
business to keep MS going and in order to
facilitate matters we thought we would
take you into our confidence upon mat

end will save money for You, and it is
money you are after the same rs ourselves.
First Tie Your Wives Loose. When they
go out to buy furniture throw them Oh
their own resources and let them use their
own Judgment And Trust Them. They
will not keep us back so much then in
our work waiting until their lords and
masters decide; when the truth ia the aver
age woman knows more about furniture than
you do, and will go much further to save
dollar than you will yourself. The aver
age woman is your equal intellectually,
morally she's your superior, and financially
she leaves You completely in the shade.
Now then why not trust her to buy some

Won't buy another one; and it will be
worth more than all you can say to her.
Gentlemen Trust Your Wives. They will
then feel the responsibility and their judg-
ment will grow better all the time. We speak
from practical experience. About eight

our wives are distinguished for their great
ability. Moral Husbands tie your wives

THE IRISH RAILWAY STRIKES,
The Situation Becoming Worse and Ssrf.
Gus Trouble Expected.

The Situation Becoming Worse and Ssrf.
Gus Trouble Expected.
LONDON, April 2S.-The Irish railway
strike situation is becoming worse
rather than better. Labor disturbances
in Ireland, like social disorders in that
country, seem to assume a more bitter
aspect than similar affairs in most other
countries, and it is not improbable that
serious trouble will occur before the
present difficulty is settled.
The railway directors have determined
to take advantage of the legal rights
possessed by them, and have begun
prosecutions against the signalmen
who left the companies' employ without
the formal notice required by
law, and there is little doubt that the
men will be made to suffer severely for
their hasty action.
The American mail train was one hour
late in reaching Queenstown last night.
Several railway directors and clerks
manned the train and had charge of the
mail.
The clerks carried the mail aboard
the Umbria, the regular employees for
that purpose having joined the strik-
ers.
The Umbria was but very slightly de-
layed in sailing.
The American Irish mail from the
Servia was then taken aboard the same
train and brought to Dublin.
The Servia's EngNish and Scotch mails
were kept aboard the steamer until she
reached Liverpool.
Michael Davitt, in an address to the
strikers in P@nix Park, advised them
to submit their grievances to arbitra-
ton. He condemned the action of the
signalmen in quitting work without
giving notice, and without offording
opportunity for negotiations,

Arr..t Of Horace II. Eldr.d.

ArT1oA, N. Y, April 2s.-The arrest
Of Horace H. Eldred for tho misappro-
priation Of funds of the Attica Mills,
Of this place, is the subject of general
conversation in Attica at present,
Eldred came here from New York about
eighteen months ago and assumed the
general management Of the Attica Mills.
At first he lived at the Purdy Hotel at
Batavia; from there he went TO the
Genese Hotel at Buffalo, and finally
rented an expensive house in this
village. His salary as manager was
800 Q month, and as his tastes were
extremely expensive, 1t did not tax
long for him to get in trouble,

Belief That There Are Too Many Fin.
gers in the Pie.
NEW YoRK, April est seems now
only too apparent that the League
Brotherhood fight will result in disas-
ter for the great National game, unless
some arrangement is speedily reached
whereby one of the organi cations steps
down and out.
The three large organizations now in
the fold have now had one weeks
trial, and it is safe to say that there
have been miscalculations all along the
line. The attendance at the various
games, if continued at the same ratio
throughout the next six months, will
result in the closing up of the grounds
and the dismissal of tho players. or
course, it Is to DO hoped that this will
be averted.
Among the players a hopeful feeling
prevails. They declare that the warm
weather when it arrives will bring
about great change. The early season
has had something to do with the fall
ing OF in attendance, but the Players
have not suffered in the same ratio. At
the first twelve League games there
were only O,O24 persons, 1896 of
whom paid for admission to the Gin
cinnati grounds whore there was no
opposition. In The same number of
contests played by the rival organiza-
ton there were present 81 ,748, differ
ence of more than 81 900. At one game
ance of 1872 and the Brotherhood 474,
while in Buffalo only 815 patronized one
game. These figures can have only one
result If they are not increased, and
that Is the suspension of our pet sport
for . time, at the best.

P1rTsBURa, April 97.-Secretary Bru-
uell, of the Players League, said yes
teraay in Chicago that the Chicago
Club of the Players League would make
no move to meet that of the National
League in the transferring of the Pitts
burg Club from Pittsburg and opening
its season here Tuesday.
1t is amusing though, he says, to see
the Pittsburg team Of the National
League. whose officials were the loudest
for conflict of dates, go on record as
the first to dodge us, and run away
from its own town to do it.
Pittsburghs retreat, in his opinion,
only points to a general one all along
the old Leagues line.
Our schedule was made to stay, he
says. and will stay, no matter what the
old League does.
