MIR. CARLISLE HONoREp.
He VIII Succeed Mr.. Beck on the Sem.
ate Finance Committee.

without holding any formal conference the
democratic Senators have decided that Mr.
Carlisle should succeed Mr.. Beck on the finance
committee, and the assignment committee will
recommend TO the Vice President that be be
assigned to that committee. Coming to the
Senate equipped as he is to deal with the
tariff question, and coming over to the Senat
in company with the tariff bill which b, has
studied to attack, the democrats recognized at
once, in defiance Of senatorial traditions, that
the proper place for him is on the finance COM
mittee, where he can lead in the tariff fl sht.
There has been no controversy over the
question, and Mr.. Carlisle will be given an
opportunity to distinguish himself that no man
before him has had on entering this decorous
body welded to form and tradition.
Mr.. Carlisle wanted to be sworn in today, but
his credentials have not yet arrived He will
probably take bis seat on Monday.

THE MORMON CHURCH CASE.
The L. 8. Supreme Court Vacates Its
Mandate.

In the United States Supreme Court today
ex-senator Mcdonald made a motion for a re-
hearing of the Mormon case and to vacate the
mandate in the case. The court refused TO
grant rehearing, but decided to allow the
latter part Of the motion-asking for the
vacsting Of the mandate The
court said il was satisfied that
the conclusions reached we're correct. but was
not with the form Of the decree entered and
would take this matter under Amusement until
next term. 1t is understood that the object is
to ascertain If there be not some method
by which the money accumulated by the
Church Of Latter Day Saints can be returned
to some source that will not use the funds for
the propagation Of polygamy, there being a re-
luctance TO absolutely confscate the property.

THE PLANS OF TIE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
socIErY-A REGION WHICH Is INVOLVED IN MYs-
TERy-A MOUNTAIN THAT HAS NEVER BEEN
cLIMBED-How THE EXPEDITION WILL 90.
The officers and members Of tho National
Geographic Society of this city are making
energetic efforts to complete in time the fund
that is being raised to enable the society to
carry out its project Of exploring the glaciers
of Alaska this summer. The plans for this e K
petition have been carefully made and are
well matured, but it has been decided SO re-
Gently to push the matter that it has been nee
essary to do quick work in the raising Of the
funds in order to allow the party time to catch
the steamer leaving Seattle for Alaska on June
Z. In case the necessary money is forthcom-
ing today and tomorrow Messrs. l. C. Russell
and Mark b Kerr Of the geological survey.
party, will leave the city Sunday night for the
western coast.
THE GENERAL PLAN.
This plan of climbing Mount st. Elias is but
apart of large scheme to map the entire
glacial region Of Alaska, to determine, il posi-
Bile, the source and course Of the large rivers
which are only known near the sea as tribu-
taries to the great Yukon. In turn this project
is part Of the efforts which the society has

basis rather than q local one, and it is intended
TO form. within the society, permanent ex-
ploration fund, which shall be utilized to enable
agents OF the organization to make American
explorations for the discovery of hitherto IN
known elements Of geography.
THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
The mountain, which is 19, 500 feet in height
from its own base, is counted the highest in the
world as regards actual height rather than rel
alive height from the sea level, and it has
never yet been assembled. -Four or five expedi-
tions have been sent out with the object of
scaling it, but all have failed, and the region
beyond the range Of which it forms the central
peak remains mystery.
FIFTEEN MEN.
The present expedition will consist Of fifteen
men, two of them the scientists The others will
be picked up in Seattle and Sitks The geological
survey has provided an elaborate outfit of in
struments and apparatus for photography and
topography. The actual work of climbing and
surveying will begin about July l, and the
party will probably start for home November l.
THE FUNDS.
Mr.. Chas. J. Bell, the banker, who is receiy.
ing the contributions to the Geographical
Society's Alaskan exploration fund, says that
the money is coming in at gratifying rate,
but that there are few hundred dollars yet to
be raised in order to complete the desired
amount
The Agricultural Department has asked the
privilege of sending botanist with the expe-
dition.

TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE.
A Proposed Substitute for the Nc
kinley Bill.

1t is the present intention Of members of the
Senate finance committee to report a substitute
for theme Kinley tariff bill when their consider
alton of that measure shall have been COM
pleted. This course is deemed to be better
than to report the bill as it came from the
House with amendments, for when it goes
into conference there will be but one question
to settle instead of q myriad Of differences
upon points in detail. This was the course
pursued with the tariff bill of 1888, and it was
found to result in saving Of time. The
finance committee will endeavor to maintain
its determination not to give oral hearings to
any interested parties, but it was reported to-
day that importers of several cities to the mum.
Der of 1900 will come to Washington next
week demanding to be heard. II any sucr
number, or even q much smaller one, appears
in body 1t is probable that the committee
will open its doors to the representatives.

PHILADELPHIA's CRUISER.
Quaker City People Want the Ship
Fitted Out at League Island.

A committee Of prominent Philadelphians,
headed by Mr.. Charles Lawrence, is in town
for the purpose Of attempting to persuade Sec
rotary Tracy to have the new cruiser
Philadelphia finished and equipped at
the League Island navy yard. But
the Secretary was down the river on the
Despatch all day and the committee could not
see him. 1t is not likely that they will accom-
plish the end for which they are striving, as
the League Island yard is now closed and will
not probably be opened for some time 1t is
thought that the committee is empowered to
make certain presents to the cruiser on be-
half of the citizens Of Philadelphia
