MR.. RANDOLPH REPRIMdNDED
For the Remark He Made to Mr.. Wise.
Southern Society Dinner.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE trustees of
the Southern Society have severely repri-
manded Wilton Randolph for the remark
he made 10 eX-COngressman John s.
Wise. Mr.. Randolph met Mr. Wise In
the corridor and asked him II he had been
delivering the Republican speeches as
reported in the papers. MIR. Wise said he
had. and Randolph said Then | do not
want to have anything more to do with
YOU"
Mr.. Wise did not lose his temper, but
passed on. The trustees consider this
introduction OF politics into the club as
most improper. and did not spare Mr..
Randolph's feelings in telling him So
They thought Mr.. Wise might better
have paid no attention to Mr.. Randolph's
question, but accepted his resignation
with regret.
IL is expected that the dinner OF the
Society at the Madison Square Garden
assembly rooms on February 21d will be
of rare interest. Or. j. H. Parker will
preside. and Joseph Choate, John G..
Carlisle. Senator 4. Il. Vance. OF North
Carolina; Congressman John Allen. of
Mississippi, and Josiah Quincy, of Massa-
chusetts. will deliver addresses Boxes
have been sold, and there will be large
attendance OF women as spectators. The
dinner will be the seventh annual one OF
the Society.

RAILROADS AND RECEIVERS.
Favorable Report on the Bill on the Subject.
Disease Among Cattle.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE unusual
number of railroad properties in the South
in the hands Of receivers has made addi-
tional legislation necessary, as respects
service in suits against these companies,
and to-day the House judiciary Commit
tee ordered a favorable report on the
bill introduced by Mr.. Turner. Of Geor-
gia, to cure defects in the judiciary act
OF August 13, 1888 By this suits were
authorized TO be brought in certain cases
In state courts against receivers appoint
ed by United States courts. BY the pro-
cedure of most OF the States. service
may be made on railroad companies
through their local agent in the place OF
suit. IL Is now necessary, however, where
roads are in the hands of United States
Court receivers to serve process in suits
on the receiver. The bill, directed 10 be
reported today permits service on local
agents where roads are in charge Of
Federal receivers, just the same as might

Secretary Rusk has issued a circular

COTTON tax REFUND.
Mr.. Oates Bill Receives "A Favorable Re-
port From the Committee.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. li-Mlr.
Oates Cotton Tax bill to-day secured a
favorable report from the majority OF
the House Committee on Judiciary The
bill provides that the tax collected by
the United States during the war times
on raw cotton shall be refunded in the
event that the United States Supreme
Court holds the laws under which the
tax was collected TO have been unconsti-
tutiOnal. The act authorizes any
person who paid cotton tax
duty to bring suit in the
court of claims against the United States
for the recovery Of the money, the right
OF appeal to the United States Supreme
Court being given to each side to the
suit. One test case is TO be made and
no other cases tried. unless the Supreme
Court decides the taxing act TO have been
unconstitutional. II the act be declared
invalid the court of claims shall try every
cotton tax suit commenced within one
year after the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court.
Bynum will put in the minority report,
and will probably be joined by other
members Of the committee. The refund
Of the cotton tax would cost the Govern
ment some millions Of dollars, and this
fact alone doubtless will be sufficient to
prevent the bill passing Congress at this
Session. Its Introduction by Mr.. Oates
was one Of the results of the hlibuster
against the Direct Tax Refund bill I'm
the previous Congress. At the time Of
that fight Mr.. Oates endeavOred to have
the cotton tax refund tackled on to the
other prOpOsitiOn.
