TARIFF BILL.
Great Secrecy Enjoinod by the

This indicates that considerable prog

tunity TO make minority report before

IL Is known by the republican members
OF the committee that great haste has
been made with the bill and there was
great anxiety TO get other pressing
business out OF the way In order that
the tariff bill may have clear field
when 1t is reported Members Of the
majority say that everybody expects a
change in tariff rates, and II is well for
business men TO know at an carly date
what changes may DO looked for in the
house bill.
Great secrecy has been enjoined upon
all members who have the preparation
of the tariff bill, because when once IL
Is stated that "A certain reduction has
been arranged, representatives are sent
TO Washington TO argue before the
committee on the proposed changes.
Considerable interest has been mani
tested by the non-producing states

iron ore, and IL looks very much
as II iron ore would follow coal
into the free list IL is claimed
that the only iron ore imported, or that
can be imported, is little from Cuba,
and perhaps from Spain, and from one
or two points In Canada. The great
iron producing regions along the great
lakes will object to this STEP but IL Is
understood the counter argument that
the undeveloped iron mines Of Canada,
far from railroads cannot enter into
competition with the best iron produo-
ing and best worked mines on this side
OF the border.
Another ore that will probably be
restored to the free list is lead. This
lead ore il largely imported from Mex
leo and IL used for smelling. One
Kansas City concern has paid about
800, 900 duty on lead ore so imported
since the Mckinley law went into ef-
feet. The smelters OF the southwestern
border have also asked that this duty
be remitted. The mining states, or
some OF them, will try 10 prevent the
OF free lead ore, but IL
seems TO have been determined upon.

The south in tho storm

The fact that the financial storm has
been SO light in the South while so
heavy in the West, is made subject
Of comment by the Manufacturers
Record of Baltimore. There is no
doubt that the bankers and financiers
of the South are more conservative
than those of the West, speaking
broadly. 1t is also to be remembered
that speculative activity has been less
energetic in the South than in tho
West, thai the silver-producing West
has been more affected than the South
by the diminished demand for silver,
that manufacturing industries found
ed upon credit have been expanded
more rapidly in the West than in the
South, that the cotton crop of the
South is more readily available at all
times for the payment of balances
than any product of the West, that the
real estate transactions in the West far
surpass those in the South, and that
the amount of reserve capital in the
hands of Southern people is proper
tionately greater than in those Of
Western people. The whole country
is pleased with the finacial stability of
the South, as illustrated by the figures
given in The Manufacturers Record.

The abandonment Of the fast train
between New York and Chicago shows,
maintains the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle, that extremely rapid railway travel
Is not popular, even at the East. The
regular trains on all the large Eastern
roads average at least forty miles an
hour, and several make as high as fifty
miles an hour. To increase this speed
by ten miles an hour requires CON
siderable extra expense, and as the
patronage on the New York Central.

At recent meeting Of the British
Royal Society, George King and Doctor
Arthur Newsholme read paper on
1.-THE Alleged Increase of Cancer, " in
which they supported the opinion that
tho supposed increase in cancer is
only apparent, and is due to improve
ment in diagnosis and more careful
certi6cation of the causes Of death.
Their arguments are founded on COM
parison Of the official cancer death
rates for England and Wales, Scotland
and Ireland, with other data obtained
from the experience Of the Scottish
Widows Fund and the official cancer
returns Of Frankfort-on-the- Main.

BIZ EUGENE FIELD
Away down East. where was reared among
my Yankee kith.
There used to live pretty girl whose name
was Mary Smith;
And though it's many years since last | saw
that pretty girl,
And though feel I'm sadly worn by Western
strife and whirl.
Still, oftentimes, Think about thu old familiar
place,
Which, someway, seemed the brighter for
Miss Mary's pretty face,
And in my heart feel once more reviviaea
the glow
fused to feel in those old times when was
Mary's beau.
On Friday night I'd drop around to make my
weekly call,
And, though came to visit her, I'd have to
see EN- ali;
With Mary's mother sitting here and Marya
father there,
aware;
Sometimes I'd hold her worstsd. sometimes
we'd play at games.
Sometimes dissect the apples which we named
each others names
| oh, how loathad the shrill-toned clock that
told me when to gol
Twas ten o'clock at ha!f-past eight when ! was
Mary's beau.
And Mary, should these lines of mine seek
out your biding place,
God grant they bring the old sweet smile
back to your pretty face
God grant they b ing you thoughts of me, not
as am to-day,
With falteriug step and dimming eyes and as
pect grimly gray;
But thoughts that picture me as fair and full
of life and glee
| As we were in the olden time you shall al
ways be.
Think of me ever, Mary, as the boy you used
to know
When time was feet and life was sweet, and l
was Mays beau.
Dear hills of old New England, look down
with tender eyes
Upon one little, lonely grave that in your
bosom lies;
For in that cradle sleeps child who was SC
fair to see
God yearned to have unto Himself the joy she
brought to me;
And bid your winds sing soft and low the song
of other days,
When, hand in hand and heart to heart, we
went our pleasant ways
All mel but could sing again that song OF
long ago
instead Of this poor, idle song of being Mary's
beau

The opinion is unanimous among

closed next October. The appellate
court will not be in session until after
| the midsummer vacation, which ends
in September and the appeal prayed

until October. Besides, the appeal ia

no effect on the injunction order,
