"A Washington Real Estate Man Offers
Them q Camp and a Job.
WASHINGTON. May IAN enterpris-
ing real estate man here has offered to
set the Coxeyites at work. He has a
tract of land about three and half
miles distant from the city which he
desires to have cleared of underbrush
and made ready for subdivision. It is
a pretty spot and much healthier than
the sewer-mouth camp now occupied by
the Coxeyites. The owner, DR.. G.. P.
Gehring, offered to let the army camp
on that tract and to pay them $500 it
they would clear the grounds. The
proposition struck Coxry f"voraLly, tut
Browne was unwilling to move the
camp so far from the city, and the offer
was rejected.

The Michigan Congressman Doesn't Want
Short Senatorship.
WASHINGTON, May Ut can be stated
that Representative Burrows of Mich
igan will not accept an appointment by
the governor of Michigan to the place in
the United States senate made vacant
by the death of Senator Stockbridge.
MIR. Burrows is reasonably certain of
denomination and reelection in his con-
gressional district, and as the guberna-
torial appointment to the senate would
run only until next December, when
the state legislature assemblies, and a
contest for the vacancy will be inevita-
BILE, it would scarcely be worth while
for Mr.. Burrows to sacrifice assured
prospects in the house.

to see it enacted into law before con-
gress adjourns. He expects to get the
right OF way some time next week, and
does not anticipate that any protracted
discussion will follow. He believes
that it will be passed by the house with
reasonable promptness, and that the
senate will take similar action.

measure would this time succeed in
getting upon the statute books. All of
the Objectionable features which have
heretofore caused the anti-option bill to
be antagonized, have been eliminated.

relating to bucket shops. The regular
dealers in futures are pretty we'll salts

ALMOST ANEW BILL
Democrat tic Compromise on the
Tariff Shows Numerous
Alterations
SUGAR RATES WHOLLY CHANGED.
Ad Valorem Duties Substituted
For Specific All Along
the Line.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE week will
in all probability witness some interest
ing developments in the tariff discus
sion. The armistice arranged on Fri
day will end Tuesday if not continued
by agreement, and the debate, which
was interrupted on Friday in the midst
of one of Mr.. Quay's sentences to allow
the Democrats to arrange their COM
promise, will be resumed if the COM
promise shall prove to have progressed
SO far as to admit of the introduction of
the amendments proposed.
The senators engaged in formulating
the amendments are still hard at work,
but no definite idea of the changes made
would be given out. There will be few
startling changes, but great many of
them. Indeed, it is known that the
amendments when incorporated in the
bill will show as many if not more
alterations than were made in the house
bill by the finance committee when re-
ported to the senate. It may be said
without prejudice that the report when
made will
Fully Justify the Assertions

merous on the chemical, iron and steel.
agricultural and sugar schedules, but
they will affect the entire bill. In al
most every instance where there have
been changes increases have been made,
and there has been general slaughter
ing of the ad valorem for specifics. The
sugar schedule is totally changed and
iron manufactures will show an inter-
esting Transformation if reports be cor
rect.
With the amendments once in the
senate it will be interesting to observe
the programme of the Republicans.
The Democrats have believed that if
they could secure bill which would
insure the support of 43 senator's, the
Repu blicans would yield after formal
and businesslike protest against the
changes. and they have assured the Re-
publican tariff leaders that the bill
which they will present will have the
support 81 4Y Demo raatic senators, to
say nothing Of the assistance they hope
to secure from the Populist senators.
