President Cleveland and Secretar,
Carllsle are both firm in tho belle
that the repeal of the purchasing
clause OF the Sherman silver law, now
an accomplished fact, will soon bring
about state Of affairs that will make
the much-talked-about issue of bond.
un cessary, and neither of them wish
es t" issue bonds until circumstances
shall make such an issue absolutely
necessary. The democrats in Con
gress, or least majority of them
wonld like to escape authorizing mn
issue of bonds, if it can possibly he
done. 1t will be much easier fol
President Cleveland to speak positively
and definitely on the bond question a
month hence than it is now, and it is
probable that his message to the reg,
ular session of Congress will take a
decided stand one way or the other
on the subject, and l venture the pre-
diction that the state of business,
public and private, for the next
month will decide which. II the cx-
pcctcd decrease in business shall re-
suit i'll largely increasing the revenues
OF the government, as Secretary Car
llslc believes it will, the administra-
ton can get through without bonds.
The movement for change in the
rules of the Senate is growing quite
rapidly, and it is among the probili-
tics that Il change will DO made early
III the regular session. Former
amendments to the rules have this
week been prepared by Senators Hill
and blackburn, and other Senators
speak Of Offering others, All of these
will be referred to the committee on
Rules, which will, it is believed, in
due time report an amendment that
Will accomplish tho end aimed at
give the majority of the Senate the
authority to order vote whenever it
may think that the debate has been
sufficiently prolonged, an authority
possessed by the House aud hy nearly
every Legislative body in thh world.
Unless the republicans shall oppose
the change, it is expected that it will
he cnsily accomplished.
Representative Bailey, of Texas,
thinks Uncle Sam pays out lots of
money without receiving anything ap.
rroachinS an equivalent in return
therefor. He has introduced two bills,
each of which he thinks will stop a
big leak of that kind. One of them
provides for the repeal Of the laws
prOylumn for the pavmCut of retired
army and navy officers and that the
pay of such officers heretofore retired
shall cease when the bill becomes q
law. The other rcpcals the laws pro-
viding for the payment Of retired
Judges from the u. S. courts and stops
the pay OF all those now on the retired
list. Whether there is any probable
ity of either OF these bills becoming
laws it is too early to say; but Mr..
Bailey is thoroughly in earnest aud
will do his best to push them through.

College Girls Catch Tartar and Work

the Third Degree on Him.
"They may talk about college boys
and their hazings and tricks, but for
real genuine fun you can't beat the col
lege girl" says young woman in the
New Orleans PicGyunG.
Last year-you know the mems col
lege is right near our seminary, and so
they call on US every evening-the
president made new rule. lie declar-
ed we must dismiss our guests at $50,
and we decided we would not do il.
AFTER great deal OF plotting and
planning we hit upon delightful plan,
and it was a great success. The boys
secured big basket and two ropes
and pulley for US, and this we had
during the day, and at night fastened
to two great hooks on the sill OF our
stndy window. The boys sent up their
cards in the basket, and then, after in
specting them with a lantern to make
sure they were not burglars, we hauled
them up.
But one night the grave and digni-
fed president caught US, and planned a
little surprise for us. He found one Of
the boys cards In our room and placed
it in the basket. 1t worked beautifully,
and we hauled him half way before any
one thought Of using the lantern. Then
Miss Flyaway held it out Of the win
dow and took a peep at him. One glance
at the speetacles and bald head was
enough. 1t was lucky for that presi-
dent that we did not let him fall TO the
ground in our horror aud amazement,
but we held on TO the ropes until we de-
cided what to do.
I'VE conldn't let him down again. He
would ouly come up and catch us, and
we couldn't drop him, bad as he was,
and we certainly aid not intend to help
him carry out his plan by hauling him
I'D, so we compromised by securing the
ropes and letting him hang there in mid
air. He begged and impored TO be let
down, offered us any bribe we could
wish for, and wasted more eloquenee on
US in that first hour than he did during
bis yearly lectures. Bot we had no
visitors that night. He amused Us, and
we wanted revenge, so we left him. He
tried TO jump, to climb down the wall.

rAerFF rINKERINe.

COL HENRY WATERSON, in giving
ToM REED a characteristic turning
over, points out funny passage in the
minority report on the Wilson bill.
REED says that the majority Of the
committee has presented bill which
is only another tariff tinkering bill, the
like Of which has disturbed the condi-
tioas Of business so many times the last
thirty years"
row, it is well known that no tariff
|. bin has been passed by the Democrats
in the last thirty years.
Heretofore, the expression "tarih
tlnkerlng" has been used by the Re-
publlcans to dascribe Democratic efforts
st reform. But it is evident, for the
reasons indicated, that Mr.. REED in
tends to apply it to acts Of his own
party. He has good grounds for say
ing that these changes have been ire
ouent. During the past thirty years
the Republicans have tlnkered the tariff
three times in 1861, once in 1862, once
in 1868, twice in 1864, twice in 1865,
once in 1856, twice in 1867, once in 1869,
once in 1870, twice In 1872, once in 1874,
twice in 1875, once in 1879, once in 1850,
once in 1852, once in 1883, and three
times in 1904 total of twenty-five
tariff tiukering acts. Even this lOog
list does not include the whole OF Re-
publican tinkering with the tariff.
Some of the beneleiaries Of protection,
after contributing literally to the cam
paign fund, would often become so i'm
patient for a 'raise" that they could
not wait patiently for Congress to act
So it came to be fashionable to go to
Treasury officials aud get new. "ruling"
about the classic cation OF imported ar
ticles that would have all the effect OF a
new bin so far as the articles affected
were concerned. Many Of these rulings
were afterward reversed by the Su-
preme Court, and millions Of money
improperly collected have been or will be
refunded in consequence, but the "tink-
ering" had In the meantime served its
purpose. Thus the people who paid
the tax first to the importer will now
have to pay a second time to supply the
money TO be refunded
After all this tinkering by Republic
ans it is high time some were done by
Democrats. Yet Republican had the
assurance to offer a resolution in Con-
gress the other day giving a pledge that
no change would be made in the tariff
during the present Administration.

several Hundred EngIIshmen Killed by

LONDON, December GA terrible
disaster is said to have occurred to the
scouting party under the command OF
Captain Wilson, which has been in'pur-
suit of King Lobengula and which has
not been heard of for some time past.
Several South African merchants 10
this city received cable messages to-day
announcing that Captain Wilson's
forces had been completely snnihilated
by the Matabeles, who are said to have
cut them to pieces. The report is as
vet unconfrmed.
1t is stated now that in addition TO
Wilson's party that the party under
Captain Barrow, sent out TO reinforce
him, have been cut 20 pieces. The news
of the disaster 10 the British scouting
party was received by Mosenthal &
Sons, merchants, OF 72 Basingham
street., and by broker named Hirsch,
as well as by several other people doing
business in the city. No press dis
patches have been received which either
confirm or contradict these alarming
reports. The number Of men eompos-
ing the Wilson detachment is said to
have been from forty TO one hundred,
and the Barrow detachment is reported
to have been composed Of about the same
number of men. The news has caused
great excitement throughout the city,
and is being magnided on all sides. Ru-
mors, which are undoubtedly exaggera-
ted, have it that the two columns were
composed Of several hundred men and
that after being completely surrounded
by the Matabeles they were charged
upon repeatedly aud slaughtered to a
man, their bodies being afterward hor-
ribly mutilated.

last night at the Press Club rooms.
Several changes were made in the rules
governing contests, or rather explana-
tionS were given TO provide
against disputes which might arise
regarding the construction to be placed
upon the language of the rules The
rule regarding delivery of balls was in
terpreted to mean that balls must touch
the alley before crossing the line. Rule
Is was interpreted TO mean that not
more than one "bind" may be rolled in
one game; that is, that If the club pro-
duces less than five members, the mem
bers present may roll one blind or for
felt the game to the opposing tesm.

Listen ito Some vigorous Language
About Themselves BY ar. Stead.
CHICAGO, Ill, December 27.-Edltor
W. I. Stead created sensation at the
joint meeting of the Women's Clubs OF
the city az the Recital Hall this after
noon. The meeting was called by the
Chicago Woman's Club TO confer upon
plans to aid the suffering poor women
and children of the city.
DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson pre-
sided, aud the hall was filed with rep
resentatives of all the leading
women's clubs in the city. Mr.. Stead,
who had been invited TO address the
meeting, said he chiefly welcomed the
opportunity because sitting side by side
with those active workers before him
were some of the most disreputable peo-
pie in Chicago. Nothing was more OBJ
noxious to any one who paid any atten-
ton to the teaching Of the gospel than
the fact that the conventions! jndg-
ment about reputable and dis
reputable was quite foreign -
the Christian ideal. Who were the most
dlsreputable women 10 Chicago? They
were those who had been lowered by
society and Providence with all the
gifts and all the opportunities and who
lived entirely self-lndnlgent. These
women who had great opportunities
only to neglect them were more disres-
utable in the eyes of God aud. man than
the most abandoned women OF the
streets. Mr.. Stead's actual language
was something stronger than that quo
ted above.
After his speech he retired from the
meeting, and the meeting went into ex-
ecutiYe session in q discussion OF mis- re-
marks, excluding the press representa-
tiyes. Many of the ladies present were
exceedingly wrathful over the editors
remarks and the meeting, after Mr..
Stead withdrew, was very stormy.
Nothing was done, however, and no
resolution concerning Mr.. Stead's re-
marks was adopted.
