That "a Cat Could Not Have Stuck to
His Pants"-The U. S. Court and the
Charleston Papers.
The following communication was re-
ceived by the RE6IsTER by telegraph
last night:
CHARLESTON, w. VA, December 5.
Tot Editor or tbs RsGlster:
SIR: Another lie nailed down. Some
ten or twelve days since, enc William
Day was released on his recognizance
from the custody Of the United States
Court at this place, but was taken sick
and left by his uncle at Mr.. Jarrett's
hotel, and yesterday one Of the report
ers of the EUening Nail. had an article
published in said paper in which he
severely reflected upon the United
States Court and its officers. and his
honor, Judge Jackson, had Mr.. Jarrett
brought before him, and MI. Jarrett
fatty said that the article was false.
and he said that he had not seen the re-
porter or any other man connected with
said EUening Mail, and that be Mr..
Jarrett) had not said ono word that was
charged in said article; whereupon
the Judge sent for Mr.. Swami, the editor
of said EUening Mail, whereupon said
Editor Swami denied any knowledge
Of said slanderous article and laid 1t all
on one of his staff OF reporters, and
when the Judge so forcibly reminded
him that he as editor was responsible
for all that was in his paper, and Gen.
eral Watts so frankly told him that Mr..
Day had several days ago been dis
charged from the Court, and was not,
as was charged, a United States pris-
oner, he (Mr. Swami persisted
in saying that he was not
responsible for said slanderous
article. When Marshal Vinson remind
ed him that it was not the first SANDER
Gus article that was published about the
marshals in his Evening Mail, and he
had disowned and shifted the RESPONSE
bility off of his own shoulders on to a
set Of Ishmalitish reporters, then Mr.
Swami cracked out, Don't all jump on
me-" when, in fact, his paper had
Jumped on all of them. Then the
Judge had said reporter called
in and you ought TO have heard the
reprmand that the Judge gave that
young man. He told him that the art
ice was libel. Well, tell you a cat
could not have stuck to his pants and
with trembling voice he tried to say he
did not mean it for libel, and the Judge,
in the goodness Of his soul, let him of.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December g.
The decision OF the Ways and Means
Committee not 20 take up the tariff bill
in committee until Monday, leaves the
time Of its being reported 10 the House
in great doubt. When the committee
takes IL up next Monday there will be a
general discussion Of its provisions ana
the Republicans may decide 10
offer amendments. The Democrats OF
the committee have been consulting and
while no agreement has been reached
there seems 10 be a tAcit understanding
that the oil, even il reported by the
holidays, will not be called up
for consideration for some
time after the holiday re-
cess. The Republicans consider they
have won q victory 10 securing time 10
consider the bill. They have been Turn
ished with all the tables and comparl-
sons with the Mckinley law, and will
probably have several meetings between
now aud 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:

Proposed internal revenue tax on
playing cards is more than stationary

would net more income than il made
ten. At ten cents the consumption
will be reduced ninety per cent,

The committee has made compari-
sons and estimates which show that the
deficiencies created by the Wilson bill
will be about 500, 600, ,OOQ year.
This is in addition 20 the deficiency
now existing, but the estimates are that
the differences Ia the revenues under
the new bill each year will be 500, 900, 900,
and il is 10 make up this amount that
the committee will direct itself In the
preparation Of increases OF internal rev.
enue taxes. Between now and next
Monday the majority members OF the
committee will prepare measure Tor
making up the deficit.
Mr.. Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, a men,
Der Of the committee, raised point to-
day which will be considered by the
committee. The nCu bill puts petrol
cum on the free list The present law
does not include petroleum but IL is
classed as distilled oil. In this particu-
lar the new bill copies the present law.
Mr.. McMllin says that vas the inten-
tion Of the committee 10 place pc
troleum on the free list. Mr.. Dalzell
saws that il this is done it will break
every oil man in Pennsylvania.

Hamlin read the concluding portion of the
Presbyterian burial service, and this was
followed by an extemporaneous prayer.
Then came the benediction, and all that
was mortal of James Gillespie Blaine was
consigned to earth. The interment was
over fifteen minutes after the cortege en-
tered the cemetery at half past l o'clock.
The route to the cemetery was lined on
both sides with al immense multitude Of
people, who revere ntly watched the passing
of the cortege, many following to the grave,
while others dispersed to their homes and
business. During the funeral business in
the city was suspended entirely.
A Beautiful Place of Rest.
Oak Hill cemetery is one of the most
picturesque burial grounds in all the
United States. 1t is situated at the sum-
init of the Georgetown Heights, overlook
ing the natural valley of Rock creek and
almost under the shadow of the historic
Georgetown college. The mansion of eX-
Governor Cook is i'll the immediate vicinity
and all the surroundings, including the
magnificent trees, are stately and beauti-
full and most of Them date back to the
colonial period. M. Blaine's last resting
place was chosen by himself after the
death of his beloved son Walker, who, as
well as his daughter, Mrs Coppinger, lies
buried near him. II is in the eastern part
OF the cemetery, ha way down the terrace
on the western bank of the creek. John
Howard Payne, the author of alone,
Sweet Home" whose body was brought to
Washington at the expense of the late
banker philanthropist, w. W. Corcoran,
lies buried a little to the south of Mr..
Blaine.
Estate of the Deceased.
As stated in a New York dispatch print
ed yesterday Mr. Blaine's estate is left to
his wife who is made sole eXecutrix, with
out bond. The estate, according to the es-
innate of a gentleman whose relations
with him enable him to speak with cor
rectness, will amount to about $500, 600 1t
is composed of improved real estate in
Washington and in Maine, and of coal and
timber lands in West Virginia and other
states and small holdings of personal prop
erty. The coal and timber lands are like
ly to increase in value as their resources
are developed, so that when the time comes
Tor division of the property among the
remaining children the estate will doubt
less amount to considerable more than at
present There are but three children now

AUGUSTA, Me, Jan. 31-While the last

the late James G.. Blaine at Washington
yesterday regular funeral services were
held in the Congregat onal church in this

The altar was drape1 with the national
