engine and tender passed over her, sew
ering the head from the body. The sui

supported a$:latee family. IsDofnsstic

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Likelihood of n Heavy Tax Being Placed
on Sugar. Tea and Coffee.

l1ktllnOOu Oh ~ Eihccu
on Sugar. Tea and Coffee.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-There Is reason
TO believe that ultimately the Democratic
fiscal policy will necessarily be to place
a heavy revenue tax upon sugar. and very
possibly to reimpose n tax on tea and
coffee. 1t will be necessary to do this to
secure the revenue which will be needed
for the government provided the Demo
Gratis shall carry out their other policy of
reduction on certain articles. 1t is not
a practical question just now to have free
trade generally. There must be a very
large revenue from some source.
IL is very possible that the Democrats
will seek TO satisfy the demands for inn
mediate tariff Legislation in the direction
of free trade by appointing commission
this winter, TO consist of members of the
Fifty-third Congress, whose duty IL shall
lie TO study the tariff question and prepare
bill to be presented at the December ses-
sion of tho Fifty-third Congress. 1he
precedent has been established in two or
three instances already that Congress
has the power to do this.
Such an expedient, IL is thought, might
satisfy those who are clamorous for inn
mediate legislation, while ut the same
time IL would relieve the President from
the personal ana political embarrassment
of tue presence here of the army of the
hungry and the thirsty, and would also
give the Democrats more time To en-
deavor to frame policy which should
not alarm the industries and commerce of
the country.

CAPTAIN MEEKER'S SENTENCE.
For Neglect of Duty at n Critical Moment
He Gets n Years Suspension.

For Neglect OF Duty at Critical Moment
He Gets a Years Suspension.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Captain E. p.
Meeker, OF the Marine Corps, has been
sentenced by court martial to suspension
on half pay for one year. Captain Meeker
was in charge Of 1.-THE marine guard on
board the Chicago, Acting Rear Admiral
Walkers flagship, during her recent cruise
in South American waters. At La Guayra,
Venezuela, while on shore to protect our
consulate, four of his men managed to OBJ
tain liquor surreptitiously and got drunk.
Acting Rear Admiral Walker caused Cap
tain Meeker to be publicly reprimanded
on the quarterback and ordered him to be
tried by court martial on a charge of neg
lect Of duty and culpable inefficiency in
the neglect of duty.
Before the court the captain pleaded as
q bar to the proceedings the fact that he
had already been punished for the alleged
offence through the promulg CATION OF the
general order of reprimand. The court
decided that the captains plea in bar was
good, but Acting Rear Admiral Walker
directed the court to proceed regard
less of the plea, and ID did so, finding
the captain guilty and imposing a pun
ishment OF one years suspension on hall
pay. Acting Rear Admiral Walker APP
proved the proceedings, and the notice OF
his action has reached the navy depart
ment.

SLOW STEEL DELIVERY.
~ Causes Delay in Completing
New Naval Vessels.
FRlCK MAKES AN EXPLANATION.
what is Going On at the Capital City
Capt. Meeker of the Marine Corps
Sentenced to Suspension ON Half Pay
for One Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-H. G. Frick,
chairman Of the Carnegie Steel Company,
was at the navy department yesterday to
discuss with Secretary Tracy the matter
OF steel deliveries for naval construction.
Much, II not all, OF the delay in the COM
pletion OF the new naval vessels has been
caused by the fact that steel OF the pecul-
iar quality required for armor, has not
been delivered In sufficient quantity to
keep pace with the construction.
The coast defence vessels Monterey, now
lying at the Union Iron Works yards in
California, has been practically complete,
except as to armor, for many months, and
the contractors have been pressing to have
her accepted by the navy department.
There Is need OF the vessel In the ser
vice, too, in order TO release some OF the
vessels now at the Mare Island navy yard
for foreign service at Samoa and Honolu-
lu, for instance. Finally 1t has been de-
cided that she shall go into commission
January 10 next, whether the armor Is
complete or not, and it is said that the
turrets will be lacking on that date.
This state OF affairs Is disagreeable to
the department. Secretary Tracy has been
endesvoring to hasten the deliveries OF
steel, and to this end he saw Mr.. Frick
yesterday. The secretary feels that the
difficulty lies In al insufficient plant for
the production of the steel and Is direct
ing his attention to that subject. The
contract stipulates that a sufficient plant
shall be provided by the steel contractor
Yesterday Mr.. Frick told him that his
company had arranged to purchase and
erect large quantity of new machinery
and to open other mills.

Togus Is a weaver in the Sycamore mill

Mary's mother objected TO the courtship,
because she wanted her daughter to mar
ry an own cousin. A quarrel resulted and
Mary left her home and went to live ut
226 North Main street.
Monday night when her lover called,
she dismissed him scornfully and told him
she had learned that he had wife living
somewhere in the city. Togus denied the
story and exacted a promise from the girl
that she would marry him IL he proved
himself to be all he represented. liz at the
end of the week no proofs OF his previous
marriage are forthcoming, he will wed the
girl Of his choice.

Sensational Developments Expected In
VIII Case at Middietown, Conn.
MIpDLETowN, Conn, Nov. 16. - The
trial OF the contested Brainerd will case
was opened in the Superior Court yester-
day. This is the case in which Mrs. George
p. Hart, daughter OF the late Erastus
Brainerd, owner of the Brainerd quarries
In Portland, appeals from the decision OF
the Probate Court in passing upon the
will of her father.
According to the provisions of the will {,
which was made shortly before Mr..
Brninerds death, the estate, valued at
$500, 900 was divided between the three
children OF Mr.. Brainerd. The will also
provided that Mrs. Brainerd should have
the income of the estate and it should not
be divided until after her death. Mrs.
Hart claims that her share should be
larger and also that she should get Il now.
Some very sensational developments are
looked for.

Onderhand Work In Collecting Evidence

naval officers had resorted to tricky meth

the Pacific coast to be used in the Behring
Sea arbitration and that the reports were
being investigated by British commits
sioners on the government steamer Qua
dra, was yesterday called to the attention
OF Secretary Of State Foster.
The secretary expressed surprise that
such n report should have been given cur

could not believe that it was with the
knowledge or consent OF the officials of
that government.
