TARIFF BILL NOTES.

The Idea Is to Have It a Law Early In
 March.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.--The tariff bill, from present appearances, will be re- ported to the house on the 18th inst. The purpose of the democrats is to press consideration of the measure as rapidly as possible. General debate will begin December IS. This will give five days for consideration before the holiday recess
 Some of the democrats think the bill ought to pass the house after three weeks debate. If this programme be followed the bill will go the senate not later than January 20.
 The democrats believe that the busi- ness interests of the country demand n speedy settlement of the tariff ques- ton. They believe that many industries that are now idle will resume work early in the spring if the bill passes both houses of congress and reaches the president early in March. There is no disposition on their part. they say, to gag the minority or to restrict de- bate. If the republicans insist upon longer time being. given to them, their wishes will no doubt prevail within reasonable limits

SAN MARiNO.
It Is the Oldest Republic In the World, and
 A hsn luf faI nd

It Is the Oldest Republic Tn the World, and
 Absolutely Independent.
 Not everyone knows that within Italy there exists the most ancient sur viving republic in the world-independ- ent in law, government, finance, and armament of Italy itself. Twice a year, on April first and October first, takes place the most important func- tion of the state, namely, the inaugur- ation of the two new consuls. San Marine has a little army of fifty men. The little republic has its own copper coin and special issue of postage stamps quite rarity in their way. They collect and apply their own taxes quite independent of Italy, to whom they pay nothing. A handsome new state house, built of marble, is in course of completion. It may be mentioned as significant of the independence of the little republic that only lately an extradition law with Italy was framed and passed. Before that they were worried by an excess of deserters from the Italian army. The revenue is six thousand pounds sterling a year, col lected from eight thousand inhabitants. One third goes to the administration, one-third to the army, and one third to the civil service. There is an annual surplus. The revenue is supplied by means of tax on salt and tobacco. San Marine - the territory is only thirty square miles in extent-is beau tifully situated on rocky summit. two thousand feet above the level of the sea. It commands fine view of the Adriatic, some ten miles off.-Lon- don Daily Graphic.

REARING OF BABY gLKs.
How They Are Captured and the Gentle
 Treatment They Require

How They Are Captured and the Gentle
 Treatment They Require.
 'One of the most interesting sights saw in the Yellowstone park this sum- mer," said tourist, twas small herd of baby elks. The little animals wouldn't let strangers touch them, but to their keeper they were as tame and confiding as young puppies. They licked his hands and face and played around him like coseet lambs. The keeper said he was tanning them for the governments geological collection at Washington. We have to capture the young elks, the keeper told me, before they are week old, or we can't do anything with them in the way of tam ing. The bull elk stands guard over the female when she gives birth to her calf, and for some time after. When any one approaches he becomes furious and pugnacious, and we have to drive him away before we can capture the calf We put him to flight with a bloodhound, the hound being trained to return when it has driven the bull elk out of the neighborhood. The mother ellis are timid and we have no trouble with them.
 "'We are obliged, the keeper con tinued, to handle the baby elks with the utmost care and kindness. No ani- mai is more sensitive than they are, | and if l were to cuff or slap one of them as I would dog l could never | win its confidence again or make any progress with it. daren't speak cross to them or in loud or sharp tone, for they know even better than child when you are scolding them. Their memories are so good that they never forget the slightest bit of i'll treat ment, and we have to fondle and caress them and speak gently to them at all times to accomplish our purpose. So long as we do that they mind and love us. Tanning young elks is ticklish business, but like it better than any ! other work
 While the keeper was saying this his sleek little four-footed pupils hud- 1 dled around him, licked his clothing, stuck their noses toward his face, and showed the most remarkable affection for him. It was sight worth going a 1 long distance to see "-N. Y. Sun.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

Fhe Troublesome Little Piece of Earth
 Again Heard From The Provisional
 Government wnl Stand for Its Rights.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec Q-The schoon- CT Transit has arrived from Hawaii During the afternoon the Alameda sailed Minister Willis made statement, virtually as already published, that nothing definite would be done there until he had received reply to dis patches sent to Washington by the AL ameda. This statement was published in the Honolulu Star. Recently the Bulletin published letter from Min ister Willis, in which he said he wished his remarks in the Star to apply to the entire press of Honolulu. The stand taken by Minister Willis in his interview with the Star, which was revised in proof by him Eefore publica- tion, caused considerable comment and caused, anxiety in government circles, indicating that any breach of the peace would be punished by the American minister. His words were.
 Any trouble precipitated on the other side would have been stopped at once by the United States forces"
 On the morning of the 17th, the day after the Alameda left, President Dole called upon Minister Willis to learn how far the authority of the United States was expected to be carried in case of an emergency. Upon his return it was learned that the provisional gov ernment was fully satisfied with the explanation and limitations made by Minister Willis 1t is the general opin- ion that the original language used by the United States minister conveyed more than he intended it should. It is understood that President Dole very clearly informed Minister Willis that the provisional government commanded the situation and would require no aid from the United States unless it was called for. The president of the peace which might occur would be speedily dealt with by the Hawaiian government. The provisional govern mcnt received assurances on the points mentioned which were perfectly satis- factory. It is understood that Minis ter Willis said he would stand back of the present government until the pres ent difficulty was settled.
 Later-From source almost in touch with the American legation it is learned that the contingency which has caused delay in Hawaiian affairs until Washington is heard from, is the fact that the provisional government and resident Americans would openly resist either compromise or restoration.

TRAITOR ABOARD.
One of the New Brazilian warships Badly Injured.

Iulureu.
 NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The Herald has the following: The Brazilian cruiser America, which sailed from New York for Rio on the night of November 26 for the purpose of fighting the rebel admiral Mello's warships, is lying at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, so seriously disabled by the act of an unknown traitor among her crew that she will probably be unable to continue her voyage for several weeks.
 A cable message was received by Flint & O. from the West Indies an- nouncing that one of the vessels valves, among one of the most vulnerable points of ships machinery, had been purposely broken by some unknown member of the crew and that the yes sel had thereby been so seriously in jured that long delay must occur be- fore she could continue her voyage. In view of the latter fact it was an- nounced in the cablegram that the cruiser Nictheroy, which left St. Thom- as for Rio Janeiro last Sunday night, had continued the voyage alone. The trtlUOr, lI IS Adlu, ulu HIS Worh iaSs Monday.
 The indications are said to point most strongly to the traitor being in the engineers division, as a person whc does not understand machinery would not know which particular part to at- tack to produce the results obtained in this instance.
 The Herald's special dispatch from Montevideo says: A correspondent in Rio Janeiro sends word that the rebel warships Aquidaban and Republica are both anchored at Ilha Grande, the quarantine station, not far from Rio Janeiro. The former, which is Mello's flagship, is undergoing repairs for in- juries suffered while running the gauntlet of the loyal forts at the en- trance of Rio harbor the other day.

The Matter Discussed In Executive Session
 of the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Hawaii and the relations of this country to that country occupied the senate for about an hour in executive session. The sub ject came up informally. There IS really nothing before the senate except the presidents message on the Hawaiian question, and the adoption of Senator Hoar's resolution of inquiry was sup posed to have taken the matter en- tirely out of the senate for the present The president had not replied to the resolution of inquiry, and there was some interest expressed to know what course he would take, or whether ne would decline on account of the gem eral welfare for the present to make public the instructions of Minister Willis.
 No conclusion was, of course, arrived at, for there was nothing to come to A conclusion on.

A Blaze Causes Hurried Exit of the
 CHICAGO, Dec. 1L-A blaze in the Great Northern hotel created lively panic among the guests on the north side of the building. The flames were confined to a ventilating shaft which extends from the basement to the roof, fourteen stories above
 For half an hour the flames roared through the shaft from top to bottom, burning like blast furnace, and but for the fire proof construction of the building the hotel would have been destroyed As it was the damage did not exceed $500 The passage was lined with wood to facilitate the pas sage of dumb waiter, and when this wood had been burned the fire died out
 The hotel people found that smoke would overcome some of the guests on the north side of the hotel and proceed ed to rouse them Some were already awake and in state of panic. Several women on the lower floors rushed from their beds without waiting to dress and ran into the corridors in their night robes. The excitement did not last over thirty minutes.

 LONDON, Dec. s.-The important dis patch from Vienna which the Times printed yesterday, setting forth that the Russian government had declared it imperative that the Kilia arm of the Danube should be made navig- able, the object of which demand was to secure the exemption of the kilia branch from the control of the Danube commission, has served to attract re- newed attention to the serious situa- tion of affairs in Europe, a situation which would need only spark to kin de the flame.
 That the variousc ountries are fully alive to the difficulties ahead of them there can be no doubt. and numerous incidents have come to light within the past few days which indicate that ali the powers are making preparations to meet any emergency, whatever its proportions may te.

Tar-Reaching Decision.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, Dec. S,-Judge Burgess, of division Mo- ? of the su- preme court, filed an important opin- struction of the law involving option dealings in grain. The judge held that deal involving the delivery of no property was gambling and misdemeanor under the statutes. Judges Can't and Sherwood concurred in the views expressed by Judge Bur gess. The decision is more far-reach- ing than any former ruling of the court and in fact is the first ruling wherein the anti-option dealing law as amended has been invoked.

Hnw the MntaheIes Fight.

A colonist who has recently returned from South Africa gives some interest ing information as to the mode of war fare carried on by the Matabeles, in company with the other Zulu tribes As a rule they attack in the early dawn, when the savage's eye-sight is sufficient but the Europeans inadequate. They advance in horn-shaped formation, with the object of outfianking the enemy and getting at his rear, When within fifty yards they hurl their as- segais, and then make a determined rush. Machine guns are too much for them, but they will charge right up to the earthworks when defended with rifles only, and if the Europeans be- came unsteady they might easily get within fortified camp. As rule, two repulses check their ardor, but they seldom des:st altogether until they have made one final attempt to take the white men in the rear. In open country the Matabeles would not he formidable if they outnumbered the company's police by four or five to one, but in broken ground they would take some settling. N. Y. Journal.
