Trouble Due to Tariff Delay-The Sugar

Special Washington Letter
The delay in passing a tariff bill has
again put the national treasury in y
financial strait. 1t is well understood
that the present tariff does not raise
sufficient revenue to meet the expen-
ses of the government. and the result
is that the treasury is constantly run
ming in debt. An exigency occurred
last winter, which was tided over by
Congress authorizing the issue of S5O.-

Improved slop-Barrel.

The ordinary barrel used to receive
slops has several unpleasant features.
When the slop is poured into the bar
rel it is likely to splash on the clothes
or in the face. When the slop is to be
taken from the barrel, if the bucket is
dipped in to be filed, there is another
chance of being splashed, and the
bucket comes out dripping, and foul
on the outside; the clothing is sure
to be damaged If cup or can is
used for dipping the slop from the

A THRILLING RESCUE.

Tn a Terrific Sea and a BIinding Snow
 Storm Life Saving Men Take OTin
 safety the Crew of Wrecked
 Schooner.
 PRovINcKTows, Mass, Feb. 12.-The fshing schooner Fortuna, eighty-six tons, of Gloucester, is the vessel which Is re- ported ashore on Rsce Point, near Peaked Hill bars. She carried e crew of twenty two men and ons boy, beside Captain Greenwell. Two of the crew have been drowned and two others took to their dory and are ss yet missing. The remainder ot those on board have bssn landed and are at Rsce Point life saviog station.
 Captain Greenwell of the wrecked schooner. states that she was from the Chatham fishing grounds, bound for Bos- ton, and that in trying to make Province town for a hsrbor she struck on the outer bar sbout & half mile east of Rlcs Point life saving station. A heavy sea was rum ming along the shore. The crew attempted to launch the dories and two men were lost in getting into one of them.
 Captain Fisher of the life saving station, lHuuCQeQ HIS DoAt anu IesCucQ tue reWalu- ing portion of the crew. It was e deepsr- ate struggle for the life saving men ss the seas were heavy and running crosswise, | but by hard labor they succeeded in rescu- ing the men. Captain Fisher of Peaked | Hill station, was on hand with his men, | but arrived too late to get into action. One | dory with two men left the vessel but af- | terwsrds landed all the rest. Patrolman | Brush, of the Race Point station, was the first to epy the wreck and he at once

nLANp TO OFFER AMENDMENTS.

| BLAND TO OFFER AMENDMENTS
 They VIII Materially Change tn,
 complexion of His seigniorag' Ball.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-In view of tn, differences of opinion regarding the Bland seigniorage bill ss it stands 1t is understood Mr. Bland himself VIII offer several amend. ments to the measure which will materially change 1t. The amendments proposed, which 1t is believed will be acceptable to Mir. Bland, are as follows,
 To amend the bill 30 As not to expose the twenty-six million dollars in the treas ury to the liability of being paid out at once in case e like amount of Sherman notes should be redeemed in gold and turned into the treasury.
 If these notes were made liable to be used for such like redemption purposes aa contemplated in the Bland bill the secre- tary would have no silver at all during the next two years to redeem Sherman notes if anyone demands silver. In other words, the bill provides that this bullion after the seigniorsgeis taken out shall not be coined until the seigniorage is coined ,snd this will require period of two years or there aboute.
 Another amendment Is to prevent inter- ference with the discretion of the secretary of the treasury to redeem the Sherman notes in coin as the law provides. Some of the fnanciers of the house regard the bill in its present form as somewhat mis- leading upon this point, and the purpose of the amendment will be to leave no doubt as to the sscretary's authority in the matter.
 Still another amendment, and one re- garded as very important, is to permit the secretary to issue the notes only as the is coined and not 10 anticipate It's coinage, ss the bill permits, unless in his judgment this should be necessary.
 Mir. Bland expects that vote will be reached on his bill on Wednesday next.

He Liked Some Thipxs Better

From the St. Louis Globe Dcmocratl
 "Some of the bsckwoods districts in Wisconsin send very peculiar men to the legislature" said the Hon. T. O. Isbell, of that state, as he ohatted with acquAin- tances In the corridor of the Lindell. 'T remember one of them who was partlou- larly e curiosity. He had never seen 6 town as large as Madison in his life, and the state house was c constant revelation to him. On the opening day of the lesis- lature page brought in & bottle of ink and bottle of mucilsge for each derk. The latter was 6 curiosity to the back woodsmau. 'M-u-c' muck T f,' la g-e' 'lsge,' he spelled out 'muckilage.' Whats that furf calling to his srstmste. To eat, was the ssntentious reply. Nothing fur ther was noticed of the new legislator un- til the next morning, when he called the page, and, handing him the empty bottle, said: Git me some more. I like some things better, but its kinder sweet. Irs too sticky, though. Hev 10 drink a heap of water to git 1t all swallowed, but reck- on kin git along with 1t. Don't seem to be nothin' else to eat here, 'thout gotn' clar back to the boardin' house, an not much thar.'"
