They Did Nothing Yesterday But Expect
To Accomplish Wonders Today.
Washington. February 26.-The Demo-
cratic Senators met in caucus this morn
ing for an hour and half, and this
afternoon for almost four hours without
reaching positive conclusion on any
matter connected with the tariff bill. 1t
is probable that at the meeting tomor-
row, to which time adjournment was
taken, much progress will be made. The
discussion today was on general lines
and was freely participated in. No
proposition of any sort was put to the
conference and no vote was taken. Be
fore the bill is laid before the full
finance committee, every disputed sched-
ule will be disposed of, and action taken
that will insure the united support OF
the party. The terms of but few sched-
ules are made public. The sub-commlt-
tee offered a duty of one cent pound on
raw sugar, and an additional eighth OF
a cent on refined. When the conference
adjourned this subject was still under
discussion. 1t is definitely settled that
coal will have duty of so cents ton.
A numbe of other changes will be
dutiable list of such articles as will yield
revenue. Among them may be men,
toned apples, green and ripe, dried and
evaporated, bolting cloth, bone charcoal,
coke, gambler, plaster of paris and sur
phate of lime unground. Some very
important changes to the free list will
be made Diamonds and other
precious stones. uncut, which have given
revenue of million dollars year VIII
be stricken from the dutiable list. 1t is
now said that lead of all descriptions,
lead ore and all lead products are sto be
put on the free list.
Messrs. Pugh and Morgan of Alabama,
this afternoon. advocated duty on
lumber to protect the great lumber
regions of their state.
The finance committee did not ave
quorum at this mornings meeting, 1t
being understood that the Democratic
members preferred to await the result of
the caucus before acting on the tariff
bill.

4 Shoe Manu- -actnrer,s story.

confucted was seriously felt by a
large Shoe manufactured of this city
some time ago He had manufac.
turbd ahead la ge line tf shoes in
anticipation OF a good demand for
that particular style OF footwear, and
the orders he early received from tie
trade satisfied him that there would
be. no difficulty in d.Spos ng OF his
stick before that tickle creature
Madame Fashion, had changed her
mind and demanded something new.
Everything promised well, and orders
were for time received as fast as
they uld be filed, Suddenly the
demand stopped, and he lea med that
a paper deyo;cd to he boot and shoe
taade had made the announcement
that this style of shoe was no longer
in fashion, and there was no demand
for it. 1t was useless for him to try
to convince the retailers that such
vas not the .s.ct. They pointed TO
the paragraph rs conclusive proof
that it would e the height Of folly
for them to stock up their stores
with shoes that nobody would buy
The strange part Of his Ell e-icnce
was that there was a steady demand
for them on the Fart Of the public,
who found the shoe admirably ad lpt-
ed to their needs. OF course this
state Of affairs could not last long,
the demand lie anne so general and
Icrs S;ent that the retailers s4w be-
fore the season was over the error
thay made, and in dc creme to the
wishes Of their patrons, sent in their
orders for goods for which they had
b en- led to believe there would be no
call. Had the shoe been Of a less
popular make it is pro able that the
little newspaper paragraph, written
probably without a thought OF doing
injury. might have resulted in the
loss Of many thousands Of dollars. -

The Races Close d

Saturday last closed the Spring meet.
ing of the Jockey club. There was a visi.
BILE falling off in the attendance compared
with Friday.
Races were as follows:
First race, 80 pace, purse $3.50; Siretta
won, Fleta III. second, Billy j. third
Time: 22514.
Second race, free for all trot and pace

Fifth race: This was military race,
one half mile dash. purse $50. Private

Jim second. Time: .5619.
The feature of the day was the free for
all trot, in which Dandy Jim made mile
in 2:164, being the fastest time ever
trotted on the American track before the
first of June. Immediately after the heat
an offer of $1,000 was made for Dandy
Jim, but his owner declined to part with
him for that figure.
He was sold this morning, however, for
8, 900 to Dryer Bros, of this city.
L. j. Parks, the well known racing man
from Kyle, says he did not enter his
string this season because the track is too
hard for running horse and will lame
them. 1t needs a cushion. 1t is also con-
sidered too hard for tTOtting.

STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET.
WHY?
ga straight Republican ticket
must be put in the field this fall"
say number Of eminent men.
Well, gentlemen, tell us what is to
be gained by such a course, other
than entailing more or less trouble
upon the poor Negro who has for
nearly 30 years, with a very few
noble exceptions, gone off with
nothing but buzzard, while the
other fellow has grown fat on
turkey? If the buzzard was the
worst he got, 'twould be, perhaps,
little more comforting. But I'M
less there be a screw loose some
where in our Uranium, we have
seen, as a result of such strict adj
herence to party simply for party's
sake, some of the bloodiest race
riots and race hatred which has
ever cursed any country, and the
Negro always came out second
best. Where effort amounts to
nothing but to destroy thousands
for the salvation of few, who, af-
ter being saved, too often migrate
fully curse and misrepresent their
meditators, then effort were vainly
misdirected."
