THE EARLY BIRDS WORK.
How the Older Republican Senators Sc
cured the Places.
The Committee Found Their Work
Already Done and Are Uncer-
tain What to Report.

1t is not likely that II the republican
caucus which, it has been stated would be
called for this week. does meet, it will deal
with one Of the questions which II was an
nounced would be considered. The matter
of patronage has already been settled, but
not in the way that was expected, or that
is satisfactory to some of the younger men
on the republican side Of the Senate, who
had friends that they wished to have re-
tained upon the rolls of the Senate.
While the republicans were in power
there were some fourteen or fifteen EN-
ployes of the democratic faith who, through
political courtesy, were retained on the
rolls. When the democrats again assumed
control it was understood that like num-
Der of republican employees would be given
places. To distribute these places was one
of the reasons why the recent republican
caucus was called.
At this meeting it was advocated that a
committee be appointed that should settle
this matter. This plan did not meet with
universal approval especially among the
new members, one of whom. from north
western state, made the announcement
that they had been hoodwinked before by
the older members and. 80 far as he was
concerned. he preferred to take his chances
in securing places for his friends on his
own responsibility. The more staid mem
bers of the caucus thought that this would
result in a ''disgra ceful and indiscriminate
scramble for Office and 1t was finally de-
cided that the committee should be ap-
pointed.
When the committee investigated the
matter of placing the patronage they were
dismayed to find that already the places
which were believed to be open for them
had been filled on the recommendations
of some of the old republican members and
that the duties which had been assigned
to them had been carried out previously
by the early birds. The committee, II Is
said is now in doubt as to whether they
will report that their mission was futile
or that they found no places to be filled.

THE NAVAL RESERVES.
What Admiral Benham Says of Their
Recent Cruise.

Admiral Benhan,. commanding the North
Atlantic squadron, has made a report to
the Navy Department, in regard to the re-
cent cruise of the Boston naval reserve on
the warship San Francisco, in the course of
which he says:
THE advantages these young men possess
over the enlisted men lies in their superior
education and intelligence. One hundred
and ffty-one of these men were brought on
board ship for the first time. organized, and
drilled as a ships company for four days
only, and in that time were more expert
and proficient in their duties than the aver
age crew from a receiving ship would have
been at the end OF month. Although the
militia shows the greatest eagerness to
learn the drills and routine on board a man
of-war, 1t is impossible to become proficient
In the short time allotted them by the de-
partment on board ships OF the North At
lantc squadron. Their organiza ton as a
ships company is incomplete, but, with
their superior intelligence, only a short
time at frequent intervals would be neces-
sary TO bring them into a fair state of eff
ficiency."
Assistant Secretary McAdoo is very much
interested in the development Of the naval
militia and he has suggested a plan of fit
ting out a ship with modern ordnance and
detailing II for the special duty of exercis-
ing the naval reserves at sea. He proposes
II his plan Is adopted to have the vessel go
from one state to another where there are
reserves and each year take theEl for a
cruise at sea for two or three weeks.

Ambassador Eustis has supplied the
State Department with q copy or a new law
OF the French government concerning the
presence of foreigners in that republic.
This law provides Substantially that for
eigners who have not obtained leave to be
dor,4iciled in France, or who 20 there for
the purpose of exercising their professions
or doing any kind of business, will have
to register within eight days after their
arrival at the place where they propose To
reside. On payment OF the stipulated fee
they will receive a certificate that they
have complied with the law. Without this
certifi ca te they cannot obtain employment
OF any kind. In case they change their
residence their certificate must be vised by
the mayor of the locality. Foreigners at
present established in France have 4 month
within which to comply with the new reg
ulations. Foreigners who have secured
the rights of dcmicile are exempt from the
law. Application for such rights is con-
sidered preliminary step toward natural
ization. The new law is directed mainly
against foreign lapoTers and does not ap-
ply to foreigners travelling in France or
residing there for purposes Of health or
pleasure Penalties are prescribed for vio-
lations of the law.

REVISE THE TARIFF.
How the Ways and Means Com
mittee Will Go About It.
THE DESIRE OF THE PRESIDENT.
What Chairman Wilson Says on
the Subject.
TO ADJOURN EARLY IN MAY.

The appointment of the committees has
excited good deal of interest in the ques-
ton or the course to be followed by the
committee on ways and means with rela-
tion to the tariff. The committee has not
yet been organized, and the members Of
the majority have not discussed their plans
or in fact. made any plans. 1t is under
stood. however, to be the desire of those
most Interested in the matter that the COM
mittee should get to work at once on the
revision of the tariff
What will be done will depend of course
very largely upon the length of the ses-
SION: Ihere is some talk Of an earlier ad-
garded as probable. but there is no indica-
tlon that the expectation of an early ad-
are that this special session will be nrn.
iohged. and II Is probable that there will be
no more than brief recess between this
ana the nrst regular session.
The Desire of the Pre.ident.
The statement of MIR. Cleveland in his
message calling Congress together to con-
slider the silver question that he had con-
templated calling them here in September
to consider the tariff is generally accepted
as an announcement of his desire that after
the financial question Is settled the con-
with.
But regardless of what his intentions may
De there Is very strong disposition among
the democrats In Congress, especially
among the leaders. to go ahead with the
work at once 50 as to clear it up and make
an early adjournment of the first regular
session possible. They feel that II the work
or Congress can be so far advanced by con-
tinuing the special session as to admit of
an adjournment of the regular session in
May 1t will be greatly to the interest of the
party in power
What Chairman Wilson Says.
Mr.. Wilson, the new chairman of the
ways and means committee. says that
while. of course. without consultation with
the committee he cannot undertake to out
line any policy for it he believes that they
viii go to work promptly at revision of
the tariff. This, he says, does not neces-
sarily mean that bill would be reported
very soon, for the reason that the work is
one that will take considerable time and
the rapidity with which the bill is com
pleted will depend upon the mode of pro-
cedure.
If the committee should decide To have a
hearing. that would prolong The matter a
great deal. He would not undertake to pre-
dict what the committee would do. but
said that he thought the party was IN "A stu
alton now to perfect a broad and general re-
vision of the tariff in accordance with their

propriations, which met this morning for
that purpose at 1890 o'clock. AS soon as
the names Of the committees were named
MIR. Sayers. the new chairman, left the
House and retired to the privacy of the
committee room, but the members of the
House followed and showered their con-
gratulations. Shortly after he was thus
installed Mr.. Sayers notified the clerk of
the committee to call the committee to-
gether, and then did another neat thing in
which the clerical force of the committee
room was intensely interested

under him that they need have no fear of

assistant clerk. Mr.. j. D. Cremer, is one of
the expert stenographers OF the Capitol.
He was protege of the late Mr. Randall,
being appointed by that distinguished
statesman when he was chairman of the
committee. X. r. Ray, the messenger, who
Is also retained, was an aDpointee of Mr..
Holman when he took hold of the commit
tee at the beginning of the Fifty-second
Congress.
This is not the first time that Mr. Holman
has been dropped from the committee by
his own party. His first connection with

sixth Congresses. and the Forty-seventh
being republican, he failed to go on the
committee. During the Forty eighth and

again, but in the Ftftieth he was relieved
from duty there altogether and given the
chalrrnanship OF the committee on public
lands. His term as chairman during that
congress was his only one in that capacity
