HIS MAIDEN EFFORT.
BRYAN OF NEBRASKA MAKES A BIG
TARIFF TALK.

Rest speech in Congress for Many Years
Full Diplomatic Relations Between tn.
United states and Italy to Be Re-estab
lished-Other Washington Notes.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-There has
never been more surprise in congress
than there was when Congressman
Bryan of Nebraska made his speech on
the tariff. This gentleman is 81 years
of age and never held an office till he
came to congress. He has been put in
what is sneeringly called the kindergar-
ten class.
There was some dissatisfaction shown
by his appointment to the ways and
means committee and when he arose to
make his speech there was general
yawn from the old stagers who have but
little patience with new and fresh men.
Bryan had not spoken fifteen minutes
before he demonstrated that he knew
what he was doing. As he proceeded
the interest increased and it was not
long before he had the attention of every
man in the house. Not member moved
or wrote for the whole time he was on
the floor. He was frequently interrupted
by the Republicans, but he invariably
discounted them.
When he concluded everybody con-
graduated him. There is the general
expression that he made the best speech
that has been delivered in congress for
fifteen years. He showed a most re-
markable knowledge of the details of
the tariff, and he easily placed himself
among the big men of the country by
this one effort. His speech is the uni
versal topic of conversation in the city.
Sir Julian Requested to Hasten.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Acting Sec.
rotary Wharton was instructed to in
form Sir Julian Pauncefote, British
minister, that the president desires to
know at as early date as possible the
intention of the British government in
regard to the proposed renewal of the
modus vivendi of last year for the pres
ervation of seal fisheries pending the set
Element by arbitration of the question of
the jurisdictional rights of the United
States in Boring sea. The British min
lister was requested to call Lord Sails
bury's attention to Wharton's note OF
the Sth instant The presidents desire for
speedy action is said to be due to recently
developed facts. 1t is essential to know
whether Great Britain will co operate in
keeping sealers out of Boring sea, as 9TH
erwise the execution of that duty falls
solely on the United States and will ne
cessitate making arrangements that will
scarcely be effective unless completed at
an early day. The character of instruc.
tiOns to our naval and revenue vessels
destined for duty in Boring sea this sea-
son depend almost altogether on the
attitude assumed by Great Britain, and
as vessels have to be in the vicinity OF
the sea by May / it will be seen there
is very little time to spare in prepare
tions.

It does not take long for Wall street
people to burlesque even the most serious
happening. The attempt to extinguish
Russell Sage by means Of dynamite was
fresh inspiration TO the jokemakers,
who have been playing all kinds Of silly
pranks with alleged explosives within
the past few days. They frightened the
popular chairman of one Of the ex-
changes into nervous fit the other day
by placing mock internal machine on
his desk, just TO punish him for brag-
ging about what he would do in case a
crank approached him with black bag
full of dynamite.

HOW TO BdLK THE LOTTERY.

The contest which has been in pro-
gress in the state Of Louisiana be-
tween the lottery company and the
anti-lottery party, and which mas
divided both political parie3 in the
state, is one Of the fercest contests
that has taken place in American pol
itics. An account Of the met hods Of
the Lottery company and a full
statement of the issue before the
people were made in the January
number Of the Forum, by Judge Nc
Gloin, of the Louisiana Court of Ap-
peals, and By John C. Wickliffe, the
editor of the auti-lottery organ 10
New Orleans. They made it plain
that if the Lottery company carried
this election in April, the only means
left for itssuppression would be by the
aid of the national government One
sure method Whereby the national
government could suppress the
lottery forever is by taxing its tickets
and making the tax so high as to be
prohibitory. A bill to this effect has
been introduced in the house of rep
resentatives, and the precedents for
action, which are strong and seem to
leave no doubt as to the ability of
the government TO levy such a tax,
are explained in the Forum for Feb,
ruary by Mr.. Horace White, one of
the editors OF the New York Even
ing Post.
