WAsHiSGToS, Nov. lG.-It is the
hone Of the Democratic members OF the
ways aud means committee to be able
to report their new tariff bin to the
public about November 25 or near the
close OF next week. The popular pres.
sure is so very great for information on
the subject, and the opportunities oil
the interests Affected for changes in the
bill SO embarrassing to the committee
that it has been determined to settle all
points upon which uncertainty exists
as soon as possible. For this purpose a
series OF conference OF the full Demo-
cratic membership OF tho committee
have begun to-day, and the work OF the
sub.committees is to be substituted
echodule by schedule and finally passed
upon by the entire membership.
Upon the yexed questions concerning
which the sub.committees have been
unable to arrive at definite conclusion,
the principal discussion OF the members
will be first directed. Among the i'm
portant OF these problems are the ques-
ton Of an Income tax, the internal raw
enuc schedules, AMI the contemplated
additions to the Tree list. There is n
difference OF opinion among the Demo.
cratic members over adding iron ore,
coal and salt to the free list, and the
discussion is sharp as to the wisdom oil
such action. Free wool, free lumber
aud Tree cotton bagging seem assured.
though there is. even some dispute on
these points. The Alabama Democrats
arc up in arms against putting coal and
iron ore on the free list, and still de-
mand that their appeals to the COM
mittce shall be heard.

Huntington Does Some
Talking.
BUT THERE'S MANY A SLIP.
Pacific rlaii Is Going to Be Supreme,
but Is Not in Control
Yet.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

New YORK. June SIT is announced
that c. P. Huntington will be elected presi-
dent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. Vice-President j. B. Houston will
not be reelected, and will sever his active
connection with the company. According
to the agreement with the Panama Rail-
road Company. the Pacific Mail will be
managed at San Francisco hereafter.
A plan has been practically agreed upon
for settlement Of the difference between
the Pac fic Mail and the Panama Railway.
The railroad will charter the three steam
ships run by Pacific Mail between New
York and Aspinwall and include them In
Its Columbian line recently established in
opposition to the Pacific Mail. The Pa
cific Mail will charter the ships of the
North American Navigation Com pany now
running between Panama and San Fran
cisco in connection with the Panama road.
Thus the railroad will control the busi-
ness on the Atlantic and the Pacific Mail
the business on the Pacific.
Huntington said to-day: "The Pacific
Mail Offices will be removed to San Fran
cisco and stems may be taken to reduce
expenses. Houston will retire from the
of1ice of general manager, for instance,
and his salary of $4,000 he saved. While
the contract with the Panama Railroad
has not yet been signed, the agreement
between the companies is virtually settled.
The Pacific Mai steamers plying between
New York and Colon will be leased to the
Panama Railroad, and the North Ameri-
can steamers on the Pacific Coast will be
leased to the Pacific Mail. This will give
the Panama Railroad the Atlantic traffic
and the Pacific Mail the Pacific traffic"
The directors of the Pacific Mail meet
on Monday. George Gould is said to have
disposed Of nearly all of his stock in the
company.
81 wish you would pIeas SO say, once for
all, said Mr.. Frank S. johnson of the
Johnsnn-Locke Mercantile Company and
the North American Navigation Company,
upon being shown the above dispatch,
that the agents of the North Ameri-
can Navigation Company can no
longer occupy their time in deny
ing absurd and groundiess rumors
emanating from Mr.. Huntingten's
bureau which exists in New York simply
for the purpose of spreading senseless and
groundless rumors among Californians.
There is notruth, In these .rumors.. except
that the Panama Railroad Company, in
tending as they do to increase their service,
may charter several Pacific Mail steamers
which have no employment. The Panama
Railroad Company and the North Ameri-
Can Navigation Company are in complete
accord. have thorough understanding, all
arrangements are going to be lived up to,
and do not propose to notice or deny any
of these absurd rumors from New York.
They have not particle of truth in them,
and no one here in our directory or con-
nected with US gives them for moment
any serious attention"

GONE TO THE WALL.
This Time Chicago Bank Is Caught
i'm the Door,

CHICAGO, June 3.-Hermaun Schaffner
&, Co.. private bankers. have made an as
signment. The firm is the largest private
concern IN Chicago or the North west deal
ing exclusively in commercial paper. The
firm also is about the Oldest of its kind in
Chicago.
No statement of the banks affairs was
II ed with the application for a receiver.
The assignment was made TO the Ameri-
can Trust and Savings Bank. The cashier
of that bank. on visiting the suspended
institutions quarters this morning found
a large and demonstrative crowd around
the closed doors. To add to the excitement.
it was rumored that Schaffner had commit
ted suicide.
Investigation developed the fact that the
assignment was the direct result of the
disappearance of Herman Schaffner. the
senior member OF the firm.
1t is said the bank has been in straits
for some days. and that its difficulties
preyed heavily on Schaffner's mind. He
left the bank yesterday afternoon and has
not been seen since, though diigent search
has been made for him. His friends say
mental alteration is not unknown in his
family, and they fear his distress mas un-
has befallen him.
The police have been notified to keep a
sharp lookout for him. His partner, A.
G. Beckmer, was sc overcome BY the
train of ills that he was taken sick and is
now confined to his bed.
A representative of the assignee SAYS
the cause Of failure was too much CONNER
cial paper. In this line the firm was the
largest in the country, handling S35, 600, 900
worth last year. There has been little
market for it since the tight money came.
1t will take some time to make up State
ment of the assets and liabilities.
II is said the firm was caught by several
recent failures for sums ranging from
S100. coo down. 1t is further said the bank
when in need of money pledged CONNER
cal notes as collateral for advances from
other banks. There is also theory that
Schaffnar was caught in the recent great
slump in values on the local Stock Ex-
change. The attorney for the bank has
made a statement in which he saws il is
expected the suspension will be only tenn
porary and was made only because of
Schaffner's disappearance. A likely cause
If distrust is that the firm dealt in mort
cages, which it sold on their merits without
Endorsement. and is. therefore, not liable on
them. No bank in the country will lose any
thing, and the attorney feels sure the firm
will pay in full.
One banker, talking Of the failure, said,
leaving out of account the theory OF in
sanity, the only way in which he could ac-
count for SchaffneI's disappearance would
be that he had been disposing of securities
without accounting for them
1t is reported the liabilities will not ex-
eeed S5Go.000, with assets more than that.
The failure has caused intense excitement
on the Stock Exchange, and there were
