WASHINGTON, d. c., December Tt
is not probable that the Ways and
Means Committee will make any change
In the pottery schedule Of the Wilson
bill. The committee has looked into
the alleged error Of classification point
ed out by Mr. Franzheim, of Wheeling,
and the representatives Of the East Liv-
erpool potters. This error consisted in
classifying granite or ironstOne ch ma 10
such a way that il was aimed would
admit certain high grades or goods at a
lower rate OF duty. The committee
considered the matter carefully and
came to the conclusion that no other
scheme Of classification could be adopt
cd that would not be open to even
greater objections than the present one,
therefore she present classification
WILL BE ALLOWED To STAND.
Il can also be said that no material
changes will be made in the bill In
. other respects before it is reported ID
the House. Mono of the articles now
on the free list will be removed 70 the
dutiable list.
The outcry which has in the last
couple Of days been made about remoy-
ing the duty from petroleum will have
no effect on the committee. A member
said tonight that talk about Russian
petroleum being imported into this
country 10 compete with the home prod
net was the most absurd cry yet raised,
ip view of the fact that American Pc
troleum was now successful ly competing
with the Russian ia all the markets Of
the world.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., December g
The Democratic members OF the ways
and Means Committee were busy this
morning working on the tariH ollI ana
lions who want changes made iu the
bill as presented by the majority But
these delegations are no longer ad-
mitted 90 the CON mittee room, but dur
ing the day they have been industrious
in securing audiences with member Of
the majority.
The Subcommittee on internal reve-
nue. is still at work, but has not per-
fected its work. Representative BRYAN.
a member OF the committee, denies that
there is any truth in the report that
that committee had decided 70 tax
matches and patent medicines. Rep
resentative Harter, Of Ohio, has
been irving TO get the
sentiment of the House, or az least Of
the Democratic members, on the sub
iect Of a duty on sugar. Mr.. Harter
would like TO have the tariff bill carry a
duty Of one cent a pound on sugar and
thinks that this would yield $50, 600. 600
year and obvIate the necessity OF an
income tax, which be thinks will be
unpopular 1t is not yet known what
will be the result.

LONDON, December THE import

Times printed this morning setting forth
that the Russian government had de-
clared it imperative that the Kilia arm
OF the Danube should be made navigable,
the object OF which demand was to Sc
cure the exemntiou of The Klia branch
from the control Of the Da~nbe Com

1t says that Russia's demand that the
Kilia, mouth Of the Danube, be made
navigabe, is the most alarming Of the
ugly portents Of trouble which have
been
so NUMEROUS OF LATE.
At the request Of theAssociated Press
representative Mr.. Biglow, whose rela-
tions with the highest officials in Ger
many are well known, and who has Just
returned to London after a stay of sew
eral months in Germany, to-day wrote
the following on the situation in
Europe:
Russia wants Constantinople and Is
preparing to take il. Russia cannot
succeed In accomplishing this desire
without first fighting Austria. She
cannot fight Austria without fighting
Germany at the same time. Russia
wants the mouth of the Danube. and
therefore has one enemy particularly
in mind, and that is Germany, and
in this hatred OF Germany was born the
comical friendship between Russia and
France, for France means ito get back
Alsace- Lorraine. The gravity of the
outlook is not so much in the fact that
Russia and France both dislike Ger
many, but in the fact that they are
un tied in hatred that
ABsoRBs EVERY OTHER PASSION.
The Russian government has now
massed all its active army west Of Mos

him, but he knows also that be has

KEEP FROM THE LIBERAL faint.

People of different political faiths are
beginning to get together to confer on the
city situation. They are alarmed at the
evident intention of the Tribune comb:na-
ton to push Liberals to the front and fuse
as many of the different elements as pos
sible to keep the city under Liberal domi-
nation. 1t ought to be understood now
that Tribune ticket will not do. Men of
standing and responsibility who might be
tempted to join with a movement from
that source which promises to redeem the
city from its Liberal degradation, should
understand that this means defeat for
them and their associates.
THE HERALD has no private project in
hand, no personal selections to make, no
party ak to grind. II desires to see the
city lifted above the Liberal level and
cleansed from the Liberal mire. This
cannot be done by falling iuto the Liberal
tolls. And 1t warns gentlemen who may
imagine that it is well to placate the
Liberal organ, low that it emits differ
ent sound, that say utilization with a
scheme emanating from that source viii
not only be viewed with suspicion BY the
general public, but will be the signal for
the reputation Of men who would other
wise be acceptable.
Come out. self-respecting and respect
able men who have dahbled in Liberalism.

The Tribune, that now wants the whole
Liberal city outfit cleaned out and some
of the city councillors prosecuted, used
these terms concerning the same men in
January, 1892: They are ''clean as new
fallen snow;' ''shrewd, high minded.
honest, capable and alert;n "the peer of
the best men in the city, ''some of the
most progressive;'' ''first-class men ia
any place;'' conservative, careful.
bright and true as STEEL
On the 18th of January, 1890, the Trio
u,se said:
THE HERALD is fully satisfied that the
Tribune will have to eat much crow in
case the Liberal ticket is elected.
The Liberal ticket is all right and n o
one gnashes its teeth over that fact any
more than does the SALT LAKE HERALD.
The Tribune is eating its ''crow" now
with ''sand'' in it, too, ndignashing
its teeth'' over the unsavory job, and the
whole city is looking on while that jump
ing jack OF journal is trying once more
to impose upon the people and crowd its
pickings upon the citizens. Any ticket
that the Tribune gang begets or endorses
will be damned as soon as it is born.

IN THE hill country of India and Thibet
the inhabitants pray by means OF ma
chimes. A strip of paper or parchment,
containing prayer many times repeated,
is wound round cylinder about the size
of boys top. A string is fastened to
this, and attached to the other end is a
stick by which the cylinder is whirled.
Every turn is supposed to indicate
the repetition of the prayer as many times
as it is written on the paper. In some of
the temples the prayer cylinders are of
enormous size, and fee is paid for being
permitted to turn them. In various
places water and wind are used as the
propelling power, and the suppliant goes
in and pays for SO many revolutions, re-
ceivipg credit in an account book and
being notified when his prayers have
boon offered. There is a good deal OF
wind in the praying business in many
American churches and it is very often
done by machine" too.

HELP THEM OFF.

Everybody is glad that the far famed
Tabernacle choir of this city will go to
Chicago and compete at the Worlds Fair
with other musical organizations for the
great prize. This is something that our
citizens generally may take pride in. 1t
is not a UNCONVENTIONAL or sectarian
matter. People of all faiths aud parties
in the Territory would like to see the
prize carried off by our home singers.
To some degree we all feel personal in
terest In the result, and expect to hear
that our people have done honor to Utah.
Tonight there will be a sacred concert in
the Tabernacle for the benefit OF the
choir, when so cents admission fee will be
charged in the body Of the building and
Is cents in the gallery. This reduction
has been made TO induce the presence OF
