| WASHINGTON, Nov. lott is diff
cult to predict what effect the recent
elections will have on the tariff bill
now being formulated by the Demo
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee, but the utterances OF
Chairman Wilson indicate that the re.
suit will have little weight in changing
the policy of the party leaders. In
deed, Mr.. Wilson rather confidently
predicted that the passage of the very
measure being prepared by himself
and colleagues will be the one thing
needful to restore public confidence
and replace the Democratic party on
the PEDESTAL of political supremacy,
but the opinion of Mr.. Wilson is not
supported by all the prominent men
in the party. In fact, there are in
dications that the result of TUESDAYS
elections will impel several Democratic
leaders to counsel the ways and means
majority to moderation and warmly
discourage the radical legislation the
free trade wing of the party has been
so strongly urging.
There has always been a strong
Democratic faction in the house of
representatives opposed to any con-
siderable. extension of the free list or
sweeping reduction of tariff rates,
but the overwhelming majority re-
ceived by the Democrats a year ago
etfectually silenced this element up to
this time. Now, however, the popular
expression seems to have changed, the
protectionist wing of the party has
taken heart again and will certainly
make itself heard in counsel. There.
fore it is probable that a party caucus
will be held on the matter, and such
men as Judge Culberson, judiciary
chairman, and Bland of silver fame,
are said to be leaders in the move
ment.
Mr.. Geary of California was before
the Democratic members of the ways
and means committee this afternoon
urging them not to put tax on native
wines. He represented that this was
an industry of great Importance to the
Pacific coast and he was earnest in his
solicitations that there should be no
tax levied upon it. Mr.. Hall of Mis-
souri, argued in favor of income tax as
means of raising revenue.

Pension Controversy.

Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
this morning filed an answer in the
mandamus proceedings instituted by
Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan.
The latter was receiving pension of
$72 per month which Commissioner
Lochren suspended on the ground that
Judge Long was not entitled to a total
disability pension. The case was
brought in the district court of the
District OF Columbia, the last proceed
ing being an order to Commissioner
Lochren to show cause why he should
not restore Judge Long to the pension
rolls. Commissioner Lochren admits
that Judge Long was legally placed on
the pension rolls, but denies that the
certificate increasing the pension to
$7S was regular or lawful. In defend
ing the right of the commissioner to
suspend pension he asserted that il
has been the practice since 1889 and
such action is the departmental con-
struction of the legislation, which is
conclusive. The commissioner asserts
such construction is revisable only bv
the secretary of the interior and he
cannot be restrained or controlled by
any court.
OuN6O hOuS . OAly I6Lucuy 10 appear
to the secretary. Having ones name
on the pension roll, says the commits
sioner, does not constitute q property
right, but comprises the privilege of
receiving bounty from the govern
ment as long as that person, in the
Judgment of the commissioner, be-
longs to the class of persons desig-
mated by congress as a proper recipient
OF the bounty. The issuance of
pension certificate is not conclusive in.
dication, but subject to review and in
vestigation. Such investigations must
be executive and not judicial. The
commissioner says the pension paid
Judge Long is for total disability and
Judge Long lis not disabled, but is
drawing lar ge salary from the state
OF Michigan Further, the court has
no jurisdiction to grant a mandamus
except to perform statuatory act. If
the order of the commissioner is illegal
Judge Longs remedy is suit for in
Junction. The commissioner asks that
the proceedings be dismissed.

An Old Truth Proved Once More.

A pneumatic tired safety bicycle that
rested against the curb in Eighth avenue
opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri
day night had crowd about it for an
hour. 1t bore huge placard with the
inscription, "For Sale, Price $12."
The placard had been placed there by
the owner, who had made wager that
he would display the bicycle for two
hours, and that no one would venture to
buy it.
There was lot Of lively talk among
the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but
nobody went into the cigar store where
the man who had bet that purchaser
would appear was anxiously waiting for
some one with $12 to materialize.
A stout Englishman neatly dressed
came along ana studied the placard with
a frown.
81 hate these practical jokes, he cried.
II ride bicycle myself, and 1 only wish
1 had $12 in cash, and I'd get that wheel.
That reminds me of the story of the man
who stood on London bridge and offered
to sell genuine gold sovereigns for pen
ny apiece and stood there an hour with
out selling any,"
The bicycle owner won his bet finally,
to the chagrin of the man who felt sure
that bargain would be snapped up.
The fun of it was that the owner would
have been forced to part with it under
the terms of the wager.-New York Sun.

WOMEN ASsAULTING THE STRIKERS
MARsEILLEs, Nov. 10.-The women
employed in the match making shops
of this city are lending their support
to the striking street car employees.
They attacked a horse car this after
noon and tried to intimidate the
driver. 1t was necessary to call the
police to drive them away. Three of
the women were locked up. Other
women engaged in the manufacture of
matches marched to the prefecture
later on and demanded the release of
the three women under arrest. When
the request was refused they formed q
line and in company with throng of
men and boys proceeded to bourse
Travail, but a squad of cavalry was
stationed at the entrance of the build
ing and no one was allowed within
doors. The crowd finally dispersed.
