WASHINGTON March 24-Secretary Car
Isle, it is stated on good authority, intends
to give much of his time this summer to
the consideration of the tariff with view
TO so thoroughly familiarizing himself
with the subject as 10 indicate in general
way the outlines for the formation of a tariff
bill by the next Democratic house. He in
sense intends to prepare bill in detail
10 be submitted 70 the ways and means

be in position To give them all the assist
ance and information that they may need
in the preparation of a tariff bill that will
carry ont in its word and intent the spirit
Of the tariff plank in the Democratic plat
.orm'
Gets Amy Amount of Advice.
Nearly every mail that reaches the treas
urv department contains suggestions from
statisticiaus and Others as TO the compila-
ton of tariff bill. Some thirty or forty
OF these con- -nunications have already been
received, prominent among them being
that from the NV York Reform club.
The general outline of the New York Re
form clubs proposition corresponds closely
to proposition submitted in 1876
by Edward A tkinsOn, of Boston, to Presi
dent Cleveland and Secretary Manning.
That proposition divided the tariff as fol-
lows: al Articlrs of food and animals;
Oh articles in a crude condition which en-
ter into the various processes of domestic
industry: tc) articles wholly or partially
manufactured for use, as materials in the
manufactures and mechanical arts: Id ar
ticles manufactured, ready for consump-
ton; (e) articles of voluntary use, Injuries
etc.
Effect of the Reform Club Idea.
Since that time the annual report of the
bureau of statistics has contained table
showing the duty collected on each of
these classes of articles, and treasury ex-
perts assert that the proposition of the New
York Reform club places articles of class
A and B wholly on the free list while many
of the articles in class c are also placed on
the free list. If this statement be correct
the revenue derived from customs would
be decreased by the addition to the free
list of articles now paying duty to the
annual amount of So, 34S, $50, but might
be increased to some extent by the increased
importations of articles under class c, on
which the duty is reduced. They figure,
however, that on the present basis OF re-
ceipts and expenditures the proposed
changes would result in an annual de-
Gciency.

TOLEDO, o., March 24-Interest in the
Ann Arbor trials continues undated
One very peculiar feature was developed in
the testimony before the United States
circuit court yesterday. 1t transpires that
five of the nine Lake Shore engineers who
left their engines at the first are not broth
erhood men. The morning session was
opened by examination of Engineer Len
non, who was the first Lake Shore man 20
strike. Lennon is a member of the broth
erhood, but in refusing TO take Ann Arbor
freight he said he acted of his own free
will, and did so because he did not care to
help company which could not do justice
to its own employees Lennon was ac-
quainted with the order of the court
through the newspapers only.
Quit Because Others Did.
John Conley is not a member OF the
brotherhood. He had quit the service of
the Lake Shore because he would not
handle freight that the other men had re-
fused to haul, and had left the company
because they Were asked to do so. Fire
man F.. :. Kessler said he had left the serv
ice of the company because Engineer Case
had quit and that he was not a brotherhood
man. Fireman Thompson quit because
Engineer Clark did. Fireman James struck
because Engineer Rutgers had quit. The
arguments were TO h4ve been presented,
but Hon. Frank HuEri, one of the counsel
for the defendant was very i'll, and court
adjourned until Monday.
The Main Issue Squareiy in Front.
In almost every case upon cross-eNami
nation the strikers have given substantial
evidence that they left their engines after
being served with Judge Kicks famous
order. The engineers now defending their
liberty before Judge Kicks will no doubt
be convicted, but the men will appeal to
the United States supreme court. No only

Interest to Patriots.
WASHINGTON, March 24-Senators and
representatives formed the bulk of the
visitors at the White House yesterday, but
their missions were mostly in connection
with local officers But little was said to
the president concerning his noted rules.
They have come to be so well understood
that few points in regard to them remain
to be cleared up. The mo reappointment7
rule is, of course, the principal one and in
it the greatest interest is manifested
From what Cleveland has said it is under
stood not to apply in certain cases as fol-
lows: To those who have no opposition for
reappointment; to those candidates for
misunderstanding who have opposition, but
are endorsed almost unanimously by citi-
zens of their city or town; to those who
were removed by the Harrison administra-
ton without serving out their terms; to
those who were nominated for office by
Cleveland just prior to General Harrison's
inauguration, but who failed Of confirma-
ton by the senate.
A Significant Incident.
Since the exceptions to this rule have
become more familiar of office seekers
there has been a rush to the ''exs" to the
White House. They have received little
satisfaction from the president, however,
unless they enjoyed his personal acquaint-
ance or were known to him by reputation.
To a gentleman who saw the president
yesterday with reference to the reappoint-
ment of two former off1ceholders who are
endorsed almost unanimously by their
congressional delegation and by large
number of prominent people, Cleveland in
timated that if he made the appointments
desired he would do so with the under
standing that the people of the community
would assume the responsibility foL his
action.
