WAsHINGToN CITY, Feb 5.The House COM
mittee on rivers aud harbocs gave = hearing this
morning to a delegation from the Western
waterways convention, held in Evansville. Ind. =,
last october, to urge upon congress large APP
propriations Tor the improvement OF Western
waters.
William ii. Miller. secretary OF the Missouri
River Improvement Association, addressed the
committee in favor OF the appropriation for tho
Mississippi and Missouri river valleys.
lie spoke mainly of the influence
of water facilities in promoting in
dustry and commerce, and thought the ad-
vantage resulting from improved river trans
portation would be TO increase the value of
land adjacent 10 the Missouri river from s25 to
SIS and 500 acre.
Patrick Henry, of Memphis, made brief
statement for the Mississippi river commission
A. J. Roberts, of Pittsburg, advocated very
briefly the improvement of the Ohio, and spoke
OF the great saving in coal transportation that
would accrue by liberal expenditure for Ohio
and its small tributaries.
Captain keck, OF Cincinnati, thought the
Ohio the most important stream in this coun-
try, and yet ii gets less from congress in pro-
portion to its value than any river in the coun-
try. What is needed on the OHIO Is a good ap-
preparation for more dredge and snag boats.
The hearing was then closed.

LONDON, Feb. Associated Press,
Copyright, 1892. The cabinet sat for
nearly three hours yesterday, shaping the
speech from the throne. with which par
lament will be opened Tuesday. The un-
usual length of time spent is attributed to
difference of opinion as to whether any
reference will be made to the coming ses-
sion rs bringing the present parli ament
toward the close of its career. 1t was
finally determined that nothing should be
said on that subject. The speech opens
with n reference to the sympathy of the
nation for the royal family over
the recent bereavement; alludes to
the death of the khedive as not
severing British relations with Egypt; re-
fers to the continued prosperity of tha
country; SAYS there is no reason why
England should be ultimately affected by
foreign tariff legislation; congratulates the
country on the prospect of the early settle-
ment of the Bering sea dispute and the
pacific aspect of foreign affairs generally;
mentions the Irish local government and
education bills as adding completeness to
the series of measures Tor securing
the order and welfare of Ireland Other
measures announced are The small
holdings bill, district councils bill, and
bills to reform the India council and Scot
tish private legislation. This last meas
ure has importance beyond its application
to Scotland as affirming and extending
the principle of local government. The
archbishop of Canterbury has clergy

Sir William Vernon Harcourt spoke to-
day at Southampton. In the course of
his address he took occasion TO denounce
in vehement terms what he characterized
as Lord Salisbury's unjust reference to

mier's remarks as disgraccful and worthy

TARIFF ON FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Movement to Put All Such Articles
on the Free List.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 5.-The first attempt
TO enlarge the scope OF the Democratic policy of
the ways and means committee came today in
the form OF resolution introduced by Fithisn
OF Illinois directing the ways and means COM
mittee TO report bill placing all kinds of agri-
cultural implements on the free list. Fithian
thinks his proposition should have the support
OF every Democratic representative from the
agricultural districts, and has already received
assurance of support from Watson and his coll
leagues, of the Peoples party. Fithisn's resolu-
tion is voluminous, and opens by asserting:
Manufacturers of farm implements in the
United states are selling farm implements in
foreign countries and to jobbers Tor export
Tor less than to the farmers in this country
This fact Is conclusiyely established by the fol-
Implement maker, OF York, Pa, to the Home
Market Club:
ave sell goods cheaper to customers in for
eign countries directly and to jobbers for export
You will like TO learn the pro-
cess ty which manufacturers can afford
to home customers? The reply is simplicity
market in which we sell. We cannot get more,
and cannot be ex ected TO take less.
The resolution concludes:
WHEREAS, Under this system of pIundering
OF the farmers OF our country they are COM
pelied to pay more for implements than the
same implements sold for to farmers abroad,
whose products are marketed IN competition
with the products of our farms; and.
WHEREAS, he duties upon farm implements
are an unjust discri nnination against Aperican
farmers for the benefit of manufacturers rho do
not need it, ana is therefore legalized robbery;
therefore, be il
Resolued, That the committee on ways and
means be instructed TO report bill placing all
kinds of agricultural implements on the free
list.
In speaking to the resolution, Fithian said:
Ny reason for the introduction OF this resolu-
tiou is Indicated by the resolution itself. Dur
ing the last campaign in New York state was
informed by many farmers of ST. Lawrence
county, the hotbed of Republicanism and pro-
lection. that agricultural imp .ements manu-
factured i'll the United States could be pur-
chased much cheaper in Canada. Our farmers
are compelled to sell their products in the free
markets of the world and buy all necessaries in
protected markets.
Chairman Springer, OF the ways and means
committee, was not prepared to say the COM
mittce would receive favofably Fithian's reso-
luton as an independent proposition. He con-
tInued:
The revision OF the metal and lumber sched-
ule. involves dealing with farm implements as
iron aud lumber are the materials from which
farm implements made. 1t would not do to
put finished products on the free list and leave
the raw material still subject to tax. I his
would simply drive manufacturers of such pro-
ducts out OF the country

New YORK, Feb. "a dinner was given to-
night at the Reform Club 10 Roger q. Mills, by
President Ellery Anderson. Thomas q. Shear
man, ex-Secretary Falrchili and other WELL
known Cleveland Democrats were present.
Mills, for the first time, indicated in public
speech the line OF action 10 be followed by him
self and friends in the present congress regard
ing the tariff
He declared his intention 20 oppose the pro-
posed halfway and staud-stiu measures which
some OF the Democratic leaders advocated He
secuted the iiea Of going back 60 the tariff of
1853 and accepting that as IA final settlement.
H. sal the Democrats had been fighting that
tariff tor thirty years and he was for carrying
on the war-etcrnai uncompromising war.
At the close of his speech Mills said
will follow wherever the flag pOints % free
trade. wil follow wherever tine flag goes; no
matter who carries il, aud wlE follow wherever
the battle is pitched.

Thayer Will Hold Ofice Until State

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 5--In view of the fact
that conflicting statements have been sent out
relative to the gubernatorial controversy in this
state Governor Thayer today furnished the
Associated Press with statement outlining
the course he intends to pursue. said he:
My attorneys are waiting 20 get the text OF

yersed and the case remanded for further pro-

certainly means that something further is To be

The Charge. Against Judge Woods.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5.--The nomination
of Judge Woods was under consideration again
today before the Senate judiciary committee
Among the witnesses was ex- district Attorney
Z. B. sellers. who gave a detailed statement of
Judge Woods conduct during the Coy Dudley
prosecution 1t is learned that Sellers, although
politically opposed to Judge Woods, did not at
tempt to eensure him, and, in fact his state
ment tended to acquit Judge Woods of any i'm
proprety.
Nathan Morris, ex-United States commits
sioner also testified. He admitted that he had
consulted with ex-Attorney General Garland
with respect TO the process issued by him
against Dudley and had been informed by Gar
land that the process was worthless and would
not hold good against anybody. Thereupon
further proceedings under process were aban-
doned, and it did not appear from witness state
ment that Judge Woods was instrumental in
securing this abandonment
