DUTY On SUGAR.
Indications That the Democratic
Senators Will Favor 1t.

SSHdtOTS w dtOE
WASHINGTON. Feb. IA. - Senators
Vest. Jones (Ark.). German, Ransom
and COckrell were in conference today
in the room of the senate committee on
appropriations. At times they called in
other Democratic senators for conSulta-
ton. The senators who took part in the
conference were exceedingly uncom-
municative concerning the proceedings,
but it is known that they had under
consideration the Democratic policy
with reference to the tariff bill, and that
the sugar schedule engaged the greatest
share of their attention. Their efforts
were in the direction of harmoniZing
the Democratic party; and while no
decision was reached, it is believed by
those well informed that the conference
is likely to result IN the placing OF a
duty of cent a pound on sugar.
A large delegation from the Textile
Workers Tariff Association of Phila-
delphia. under the guidance OF Repre-
sentative Harmer, visited the capitol
to secure hearing before the senate
committee on finance. The delegation
included representatives Of the wOrSted
yarn. cotton goods, tapestry, Brussels
and chenille and lace curtains indus
tries. They pleaded not only for an
increase of duties, but for a change
from an ad yalorem to specific duty.
asserting that on account of the fraud
made possible by the former system, it
was but little if any better than free
trade

RIKER'S REASONS.
Why He Thinks Carlisle Should
Have Given Him the Bonds.

have Given Him the Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-CarrOll l..
Riker. Of Chicago, this afternoon pre-
scented an amended petition to Judge
Bradley, of the district court, for
mandamus to compel Secretary Carlisle
to allot him portion of the $50,00O.0 600
bond loan. In his petition filed today
Mr.. Riker says that since filing the
original petition be has obtained an Off
clally printed copy of Secretary Car
isles answer to the senate resolution
calling for information as to offers for
bonds under the circulars of the depart
ment; that while the response does not
show definitely the price offered by all
the bidders for all the bonds, it does not
s .Ow upon its face that he (Riker)
was higher bidder than many or those
whose bids were accepted, and further
sets forth a wholly insufficient and in
valid reason, Mr.. RIker contends, for
not considering his proposals. Mr.. Riker
Insists that the Secretary's discretion as
10 the acceptance or nOn-acceptance Of
proposals must be a reasonable one,
exercised upon legal and sufficient
grounds, and cannot be exercised to the
extent of not even considering offers
made by him simply because his finan-
y
department., gave no ground to believe
that he would be able to complete his
subscription. MIR. Riker further insists
that he is entitled at least to have his
proposals considered, and that Sec
rotary Carlisle's action in refusing
to do so is contrary to his duty, and not
within the powers vested in him, and
that he (RiKer) should nave been called
upon directly for evidence of his ability
to complete his subscription. He there
fore asks that a mandamuS be issued to
compel Secretary Carlisle to allot him
the proportion of the loan to which he
would naturally be entitled, and that as
preliminary thereto rule be granted
upon the secretary to show cause why
mandamuS should not issue, and that
he (petitioner) have Judgment against
the respondent in the amount OF costs
of the petition. Justice Bradley said
he would take the papers, and probably
render decision tomorrow.

FIRE AT THE FAIR.
Portion of Colonnade Destroyed
and Assembly Hall Damaoed

CHICAGO, Feb. 14-Fire broke out at
L a. m. today. between the agricultural
building and Machinery hall, worlds
fair grounds. The blaze started near
the point at which the firemen made a
fierce fight against the flames last week.
When first seen flames were crawling
up the pillars. Quickly they mounted
higher and higher. and the fire grew
hotter and more dangerous. The first
alarm was followed by a second call,
but before the additional engines
reached the burning structure, its de-
struction, and that of the large build
ings adjoining on either side was
threatened. Another call was
sent out, and all the avail
able engines in Woodlawn and Hyde
park were soon hurrying to the
scene. Drifting snow on the ground
made the work of the firemen slow, and
before sufficient streams were directed
toward the burning structure, Its tim
bers were cracking i'll rapidly spread
ing blaze. Fire was first seen about one
hundred yards west of the part burned
last week. 1t was inside the colonnade
and skirting the south end of the canal,
separating the agricultural building ana
machinery hall. Starting at point
nearly back of the Egyptian obelisk, it
spread east and west through the colon
made, covering distance of eighty feet.
The fire was practically eXtinguished
before p. IN. Sixty feet of cOlonnade
was destroyed and assembly hall and
Prof. Millet's studio were damaged but
left standing.

"Aboui the only thing the sale of which
has been increased by the hard times
are diamond dyes" said a st. Paul drug
gist. "Women like to be well dressed,
and they find that by the use of these
handy home dyes They can make an old
dress look like new one, prevent the
husbands clothes from getting shabby,
and keep the children nicely clothed"
While there are fifty different colors
in diamond dyes, the blacks Especial
kinds for wool, cotton, and silk and
featherS) are the most popular, as any
color can be dyed handsome black
with but little work or expense. The
directions on the envelopes are so plain
and explicit that the most inexperl-
enced can DO as well as the professional
dyer.
In one of the ladies' papers, a story of
real life was printed, telling how a
winter wardrobe was made from partly
worn clothing by the aid OF diamond
dyes. IA tan colored flannel dress was
taken apart and washed and then dyed a
beautiful brown with seal brown dia-
mOnd dye. AS it is made very plain it can
be washed almost as easily as calico; for,
like other colors produced by these dyes,
it will never fade" 1t also tells of "a
suit that was dyed a lovely shade of
dark green," and other useful and
handsome gowns, clOakS ana hats that
were colored over with diamond dyes.
Try a ten-cent package and see how
easily fast and beautiful color can be
made over any kind of goods.

Over England.

y u
Over England.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 1.-the National
Liberal Federation continued its meet
ingS today with large audience, which
included number of members of par
lament. AT this mornings meeting
the delegates passed resolution advo-
eating reform IN legislation. and includ-
ing the one-man, one-vote proposition,
the holding of all elections on the same
day, the payment Of members of parIia-
ment, and the abolition of all rating
qualifications. Mr.. Robson, O. c.,
moved a resolution to the effect that the
habitual disregard of the national will
manifested by the house Of lords, was
all intolarable abuse, and assuring the
ministry of the enthusiastic support of
the Liberals for whatever measures
were adopted to secure the commons
paramount authority.
Mr.. Morton, M. P. in support of the
resolution, asked what use there was in
the house Of commons while the house
of lords was allowed to exist? The
speaker then described the house of
lords as fraudulent company. He
aid that the peers used their political
position for their own pecuniary inter-
est. and expressed the'opinion that it
was the duty of the people to end this
fraudulent proceeding.
What the people wanted, continued
Mr.. Morton, was first, quarrel with
and then the destruction or their great
enemy.
The resolution was finally adopted
unanimously, as were other resolutions
embodying the Newcastle programme.
A representative of the Associated
Press has had an interview with the
Earl of Dudley, the mover of the .'con-
tracing out" amendment to the en-
ployers' liability bill in the house of
lords. The Earl of Dudley said that he
likely to recede from the position. after
yesterday evenings vote. Other Con-
sentative peers were interviewed by
the Associated Press representative,
and they declared their intention to op-
pose Peyton Cobb's compromise
amendment to the effect that any
existing agreement between work
men and their employers should be
excluded from the operation of the bill
for three years. The Conservative peers
interviewed, also asserted that they in
tended to oppose Mr.. Cobb's amendment,
even If the government chose to drop
the bill OIL that account. The Liberal
lords declare that the smallness of yes
terday's majority IS entirely due to
chance absence of number of Nationa,.
lists, and several English members of
parliament who were addressing meet
ings called to protest against the action
of the house of lords. In conclusion
the Liberals averred that Mr.. Cobb's
amendment was the utmost limit of the
government concession, and if the bill
is sacrificed. the responsibility will rest
with the house of lords.
