priation. Nearly all of the reduction
is made in the estimate for an in
crease of the navy estimate, this item
being So, 2S0, 500.
WHAT WILL CRISP DO?
There is great interest in Crisps
policy relative to the national issues
of tariff and silver. Mills pro-
nounced views against free liver and
in favor of general tariff bill,
coupled with disposition to resent
his defeat, leads to the belief that he
will not be the chairman of the ways
and means committee, nor will his
followers control the coinage commit
tee. 1t is not improbable that
Springer will head the ways and
means committee, as he finally elected
Crisp, and now publicly pledges him
self in favor of lot Of small tariff bills
this session and the appointment of a
tariff commission to travel over
the country next summer, gathering
the views of the people, preparatory
| for bill for the second session.
This leaves the matter of tariff pol
icy sufficiently elastic for the next
election to fit all cases-a general, in
definite promise of something better
for everybody dissatisfied. 1t is con-
coded that Holman will lead the APP
preparation committee and iuaugurate
vigorous policy of reform. Mr.. Tracy
Of New York may lead the coinage
committee. 1t is scarcely probable,
however, that anybody will be able to
prevent the passage of a free coinage
bill, as two-thirds of the House Dem
ocrats favor it. OF course Blanchard
will head the rivers and harbors COM
mittee.
1t is probable that many old southern
members will be disappointed as to
chairmanships. If the members who
fall heir to chairmanships by virtue
of their positions in the fiftieth con-
gress should reserve the right of sue
cession, nearly two-thirds of the chair
manships will go south. This plan,
therefore will not be adopted, and
its abandonment means a break
ing down and shaking up of estab-
lished presidents. Should the chair
manship Of the ways and means,
Judiciary, naval, and the prominent
committees goto men who either held
them in the Fiftieth congress or who
were ranking members of the minor
ity in the last congress they would be
filled by eX-Confederates and to the
exclusion of Northern Democrats,
whereat there would be the usual
howl, "Che Confederacy again in the
saddle" 1t is certain that in view of
the arrangement of committees the
North and West will receive more
recognition than they have ever had
| before.

SPRINGER INTERVIEWED.

Mr.. Springer, in an interview, says
he is opposed to anything like the
Mckinley bill Of two years years ago
and the Mills bill of four years ago.
He suggests the introduction Of bills
embracing one article each. For in
stance, bill that puts iron ore on
the free list, one for coal, one for
cotton ties, binder Irvine, ETC., as an
offset to free wool. The duties on
imported goods should be reduced.
The committee on manufactures
should be given new Importance and
increased to fifteen members, ten
Democrats and five Republicans, and
should be ready to lay its report be-
fore congress next winter. If the
Democrats carry theneXt cOngression-
al and presidential elections the re-
port of the committee would be made
the basis Of an exhaustive tariff bill.

CABLE FROM CAPT. sCHLEY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The secre-

from Capt. Schley, commanding the
Unite States steamer Baltimore, say

necessity for the presence Of his vessel

San Francisco, for the purpose of being

Valparaiso, but she will be joined in
about ten days by the cruiser Boston.

Mrs. Sorgerfrie, of Utica, n. Y, seems to
have a strange faculty for getting rid Of
her husbands. Up to this time, although
only fifty years old, she has had four, aud
three OF them died in a mysterious way.
Her first was James Staley,- who was
drowned at Potter's bridge thirty years
ago. 1t WAS never ascertained whether he
fell or was pushed into the canal. The
widow soon nfterward married Henry Way,
who went TO the civil war and did not re.
turn. In 1881 she married an old man
named Ernest w. Schroeder, who two
years afterward breakfasted heartily one
morning on fresh pork, was taken in and
died the same evening. Arsenic was found
in his stomach, but nothing followed the
discovery although it appeared that the
widow married the old man on condition
OF receiving half his property when he died.
Sorgerfrie was an old man who boarded
with her. He promised TO will her his
property, worth 5000, when she married
him. His death was due to Paris green,
and Mrs. Sorgerfrie was placed in Jail on
suspicion Of having administered the poi.
