PUSH TARIFF REFORM
Business Interests Demand
Prompt Action.
SENATOR VOORHEES, WILL LEAD
The Administration Forces in
the Upper House.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.
Wilson's Committee Will Soon
Have the Bill
SENATOR VOORHEES, WILL LEAD
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.
READY FOR THE LOWER HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Senator Voor
heas will have charge of the tariff bill
in the senate. At committee meeting
of the committee, Senator Voorhees,
announced his purpose to handle the
bill.
Another important development of
the meeting was the announcement of a
determination upon the part of the
Democratic members of the committee
to take up the tariff question lmmedi-
ately.
Ii has been supposed that the question
would be allowed to rest in this state
until the Wilson bill should be passed
by the house of representatives and re-
ported to the senate in the regular order
of business.
Mr.. Voorhees,, as chairman of the
committee of the meeting, today
brought up the subject and gave it as
his opininion that the condition of the
business interests of the country is
such that the committee should use all
expedition possible in the consideration
of the question, so as to be able to re-
port to the senate on the bill at the
earliest possible day after the bill comes
over, to the end that it may be soon re-
ported to the senate and passed upon by
that body at the earliest practicable
time. He suggested that with the view
of accomplishing this purpose the mem
bers of the majority of the committee
should begin forthwith to hold daily
meetings. There was no opposition to
this course. The Republican members
asked whether persons interested in
changes in the tariff, whether for or
against, would be given an opportunity
to be heard. In reply to this query, the
Republican members were assured that
when there was good reason for grant
ing hearing it would be given; that.
while the committee desired TO get the
bill out of the way in the interest of
business as soon as possible, no interest
should be denied hearing when there
were evidently good grounds for the
request.
1t is understood that the Republican
members themselves conceded in the
opinion that it would be best to have the
bill reported as soon as it can be with
out passing lightly over any of the ma
teIial portions. The Wilson bill will
be used as the basis of the committee
investigations as matter of course,
and the general trend of opinion ex-
pressed by Democratic members indi-
Gates, as far as they express themselves
at this time, that it will be quite closely
followed by the committee. The chair
man also appointed a new subcommit-
tee on tariff, consisting of Senators
Jones, of Arkansas. Vest and McPher-
son, Democrats, and Aldrich and Alli-
son. Republicans.
The investigation at present proposed
will not be conducted by this subcom-
mittee, however, but by the Democratic
members of the entire committee as a
party organization.

EDGERToN's DECISION.
1t Is Not So Sweeping as at First
Thought.

HURON, s. D., Dec. 5.-Referring to
the decision of Judge Edgerton in what
is termed the Huron bond case, tried
in the United States court at Sioux Falls
last week, his honor, while here on Satur-
day, said the decision had not been cor
rectly stated in the newspapers. He says
the case was decided on the wording of
the bonds in question, and was practi-
cally that the statement contained IN
them, to the effect that they were issued
according to law, is a general term, and
does not debar the defendant from in
PRODUCING evidence to show that as a
matter of fact the law was not complied
with; that was in reality the point de-
cided. The question now comes OH the
point as to whether the law has been
complied with. The witnesses who had
anything to do with the issuance of the
bonds declared that the law had not
been complied with, and, as conSe-
quence, verdict was directed for de-
fendant. Upon the final result of this
suit depends the validity of over half a
million dollars in bonds issued by South
Dakota towns. and the decision of the
court of appeals. to which the case has
been carried, is awaited with some anX-
iety.

LONDON. Dec. 5.-The Times tomOr-
row will publish the following interest
ing letter dated Nov. IA, from its
special correspondent at Rio de
Japeiro:
In reviewing the causes leading up to
the revolt the Times correspondent
says that with the fall of Dom Pedro
the aristocracy withdrew all connection
with the government and that the
wealthy men who were in Office were
then replaced by needy adventurers,
whose sole object has been personal
gain. Continuing, the Times cor
respondent says: president Peixoto
opened his administration we'll by can
ceiling the decree permitting the Bank
of the Republic to continue the emission
Of notes, which had been done in the
interest of
RING OF sPECULAToRs.
"But the hopes of reform were dissi-
pated when ne began removing the gov
ernors Of the states in an underhanded
manner. Thence onward he took the
bit in his mouth and made series of
blunders and set aside the spirit and
letter of the constitution in every way"
$. The Times correspondent then pro-
ceeds to show President Peixato's al
legged breaches of faith regarding Rio
Grande do Sui, by prosecuting those
who had been engaged in the revolt,
which action let to the presidents rupt-
ure with Admiral de Mello, who re-
CT = 4Io Is ;,,s- g
in conse QNence.
Much sympathy, the correspondents
adds, was shown in Rio de Janeiro for
the people of Rio Grande do Sui who
had been engaged in the revolt, and
popular subscriptions were opened be-
tween May and August. 1898, for the
relief of the insurgent sick; these sub
scriptions were crowned with success,
and it is said that the constantly swell
ing fund was very CALLING to President
Peixoto, and led to its promoter. Dr..
Govern, being imprisoned.
Coming rapidly to the history of the
present time, the Times correspondent
states that Oh Nov. the
INSURGENT LEADERS
held conference on board the war ship
Aquidaban and discussed the question
of re-establishing monarchy in Brazil.
1t was then shown that the states of
Pernambuco, Bahia, Santa Catarina,
Rio Grande and the majority of the
population of Minas Geraes, Sac Paulo
and an important section of the city of
Rio Janeiro favored return to the
monarchy. 1t was thereupon decided
that the efforts of the insurgents should
be directed to that end. The fact that
Gen. Pogo. weIl-known monarchist,
was in command of division under
President PeiXoto. and that Col. Men
dez, violent opponent of republican
ism. commands the national guard, is
positive proof that there was no inten-
ton when the revolutionary movement
first broke out of any attempt tore
establish the monarchy. So
1t was an afterthought, engendered
by the wishes of the people in various
parts of Brazil, and it is yet to be seen
whether the insurgents will make it the
aim OF their present struggle. A Bra
lillian in high Office has just remarked
to the Times correspond that he be-
lieved the end of the war would see the
finish of the pre torian system of gov
ernment in Brazil, no matter which side
won. =

The Widow OF Man Who Was
Lynched Sues the City Of New
Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.-The case of
the widow Of Abbagnoto, one of the
men lynched in the raid of citizens on
the parish prison nearly three years
ago, was called this morning for trial
in the United States circuit court, Judge
Boardman presiding. Both sides were
ready for the trial, and a Jury was en-
paneled without difficulty. The case is
against the city of New Orleans, and is
for damages. Abbagnoto was one of
the Italians accused of the murder of
Chief Hennessy, and was the man who
was dragged out of the prison on the
Orleans side of the jail, and hanged to
tree OH the neutral ground. Suits
were instituted by several Italian fam
lilies against the city, but many techni-
cal points have been raised in the cases,
and there have been frequent postpone
ments. This AbbagnotO case is the
first of several to be tried. City Attor-
ney OSullivan appears on behalf of the
city, and the plaintiffs are represented
sby Messrs. Leonard, Chisphella and
SambQla. A large number of witnesses,
Including the parish prison officials and
many newspaper reporters, have been
summoned. The case will occupy sew
eral days.

MISNfANAGED BANK.

Chicago Trust and Savings Bank
in the Hands of a Receiver.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-William NJ. Robert
son was appointed receiver Of the Chi
cago Trust and Savings bank this after
noon. This action was the outcome of
regular meeting of the board of direct
ors held today. The directors passed a
resolution declaring that Daniel Il. Toll
man, the president, has mismanaged
the affairs of the bank and converted
large sums of money belonging to the
bank by transferring large amounts of
commercial paper that was uncollecti-
BILE and using the money Of the bank
to further his individual interests. The
bank came here from Pittsield, ILL.,,
in 1885. and at the time of the re-
movai the capital stock was increased
from $1,000 to s250,000, fully paid
up. The, bill states that in 1856
the capital stock was increased to $780,
each of the stockholders being given a
double amount of stock. Several
mouths ago the directors decided to
cease business and distribute the assets
among the stockholders. In conformity
with this, business was stopped, and
for several months the bank has been
paying off its depositors. The bill then
sets out that President Tolman has in
formed the directors that he is an un-
paid depositor of the bank to the
amount of SITS, 900. that his brother, S.
A. Tolman, is an unpaid depositor also
to the amount of S25, 900, that there is
about S30,000 owing to savings deposit
ors and that the entire assets consist of
little over 100000. This amount, Mr..
Tolman is credited with saying. consists
of notes and bills receivable, a large
majority of which is past due and un-
collected. and that it is doubtful if the
stockholders will receive anything when
the business is settled up. The directors
claim that Tolman has grossly miSman-
aged the concern, and that there is no
money due him.

Eleven Million in the Treasury
for Loyal Southerners.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. - The house
committee on judiciary has about de-
cided to report favorably bill relating
TO Southern cotton claims. There is
now in the treasury about $1,000 which
has been set apart to pay certain cotton
claims. This money was originally in
tended to pay the claims of those whose
loyalty could be properly establi shed.
The proclamation of President Johnson
and decision of the supreme court, it
is claimed, make plain that the proofs of
loyalty once demanded are no longer
required. The Republican members of
the committee have agreed that the bill
shall be reported favorably, with a pro-
viso that no more than the S11, 900, 900
now in the treasury shall be paid, and
that all claims for destruction of cotton
shall be presented within year from
the passage of the bill, the money to be
divided pro rata among the. claimants
who establish the facts of their losses.

WORKING ON THE BILL.

Ways and Means Committee Will
Take the Measure Up Monday.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The decision
of the ways and means committee not
to take up the tariff bill in committee
until Monday leaves the time of its
being reported to the house in great
doubt. When the committee takes it
up next Monday there will be general
discussion of its provisions and the Re-
publicans may decide to offer amend
ments. The Democrats of the commit
tee have been consulting, and, while no
agreement has been reached, there
seems to be tacit understanding that
the bill, even If reported before the
holidays, will not now be called up for
consideration until after the holiday
recess. The Republicans feel that they
have won victory in securing that
time asked to consider the bill. They
have been furnished with all the tables
and comparisons with the Mckinley
law and will probably have several
meetings between now and Monday to
consider what action they will take.
Many members of the house, includ
Ing all the members of the ways and
means committee, received duplicates
of the following telegram this morning:
Chicago, Dec. 5.-Congressman Allen
Durburrow, Washlngton: The proposed
internal revenue tax on playing cards
Is more than stationery business can
stand. One cent per pack would net
more income than if made 10. At 10
cents the consumption will be reduced
80 per cent. [Signedl f. M. BLUNT.
The committee has made comparisons
and estimates which show that the de-
ficlencies created by the Wilson bill will
be about 100000, 600 year. This is in
addition 10 the deficiency now existing.
but the estimates are that the differ
ences in the revenue under the new bill
each year will be S6O,000.000, and it is to
make up this amount that the commit
tee will direct itself in the preparation
of increases of internal revenue taxes.
Between now and next Monday the ma
jority members of the committee will
prepare a measure for making up the
deficit.
During the afternoon Assistant Secre-
taryHamblin has been with the majority
members of the committee, aiding in re-
vising it for second printing. In places
where the language of the bill. conflicts
with the rulings and decisions of courts
changes are being made. These changes
do not alter the schedules. but the phra-
seology Of the bill.
