TEE STRIKE COMMISSION.

The strike commission now holding in
Chicago is doing a good work, but its value
does not lie so much in any decision it may
reach as in the publicity given the testimony.
Calm. dispassionate statement. delivered as
AZ the shadow Of a court has taken the place
Of the excited language and literature OF the
strike period.
The three commissioners are likely to
gather some valuable data, but the labor
world viii hardly look to their findings as the
ultimatum Of the whole question, for the
personnel Of the commission is against their
reposing any such trust in it. Carroll d.
Wright is widely known as master Of what
has grown 10 be the art Of statistics. His two
oontreres have spent their lives in the service
Of large cooperate interests. or in the admin
istration Of Justice. None Of the trio, however
able, honest. and learned. has ever been iden-
tilted with a labor movement
The commission then has its largest value
In the fact that the pros and cons OF the strike
are to be reduced TO a system. and a basis is
70 be laid far more accurate judgment than
can be passed through newspaper reports.
Dir. Debs has taken the stand and has pre-
scented part Of his side OF the case. What is
TO prevent the sacred and fnviolate presence
Of George NJ. Pullman appearing before the
same tribuna2
Debs aud Pullman; hese we're the two
great names OF the great strike, and if the
commission has right to subpoena Mr.. Debs
fl has a right to subject Mr.. Pullman to the
same legal invitation. The time has passed
when dlgiAed silence cuts any figure. except
to create suspicion that there is little ground
on which TO say anything.
Mr.. Debs bas spoken. Come now, Mr..
Pullman, break away from Castle Rest and
tell the American people and the strike COM
mission your side of the story.

REoRoAErzArIoN OF NAVY GRADES.

Where are the results Of the commission
which has undertaken the revision of the per-
sonnel OF the navy2 Parts Of its deliberations
ave been published and the whole purpose
bf its !abors is so right and Just that the
whole matter should have been settled long
ago.
Nearly all those actively interested in the
bill which the commission is preparing have
expressed themselves in favor OF the changes
which are reported to have been made. But
where is the bill? Over month ago part Of
st was given out semi-oficially and the public
was assured that the whole document would
soon be forthcoming Since then nothing has
been known except that the bill is completed,
and yet for some mysterious reason has
been held back.
This mysterious reason is not difficult to
discover, The bill will do away with our sex
agenarian and septuagenarian system Of max
ing rear-admirals, and will put men in high
naval Office who have the vitality and enthu-
siasm necessary to the successful application
OF their naval school learning. Under the
present code, officers reach commanding
rank only after thirty years Of service. and
the higher grades Of the Navy are ike re-
treats for ancient mariners. Thus the inter
ests of few officers are injured by the new
bin, and the suspicion has gone forth that
their objections have had much TO DO with
the halting application OF the reform.
This country Is now at peace with the
whole world, but no man can tell how soon
our floating lighters will be called into action,
especially since great naval movements are
Ia progress in the old world. It would be
difficult to revise the naval personnel in the
midst OF fight. Let ii be done now and
done speedily.

NO MATERIAL ERRORS.
Treasury Department Officials Say that
the Mistakes in the Tariff Bill Are
Few and Urimportant.

Speculation concerning coming Executive
action in the tariff bill is the engrossing topic
of the hour in Congressional and depart
mental circles The matter will be brought
to a focus by the arrival OF the President i'll
the city to-day, and although there is reason
TO believe thar action on the bill viii be de-
ferred until the end of the week, the presence
of the President ii Washington will probably
result in some mose authoritative story than
any now in cireZ.4tion.
II is worth aoticing. however, that all the
people who s;,y the bin will be signed are
positive as to the truth of their statements.
while those who do not think so are guessing.
Mr.. Wilson. by his remark yesterday that he
did not believe the President would sign the
bill. admitted that he had no information.
Secretary Gresham says the bill will be signed
Secretary Carlisle says it will become law,
and in either case the Treasury Department
is getting ready to put it into effect by the
end of the week and not before.
Regarding newspaper talk about errors in
punctuation in the bill. The TIMES repre-
sentative was informed at the Treasury De-
partment yesterday that these were e1agger-
rated in number and quite unimportant as TO
result. The statement was made that, SO far
as administration by the department is con-
cerned. there is not single error in punctua-
tion that will affect duties. Importers fear
d6l SOtto u COuStluCblVuS, WHICH uEO uOt
likely to prevail.
The engrossing clerks at the House side
and Chairman Pearson, of the Committee on
Enrolled Bills, are quite indignant at the
statements regarding the errors in copying
the bill, and say that it was copied exactly as
passed by the Senate, and that TO have al
tered letter or punctuation point would
have vitiated the bill. The House had 10 ac-
cept the Senate bill as it stood, mistakes and
all, and any errors must be corrected by Joint
action of both Houses. The bill was read over
four times after being engrossed.
The tariff bill will. it is believed, be con-
strued as going into effect the morning of the
day after the President signs the bill. The
question has arisen whether the bill may not
be retroactive as 10 certain goods in bond,
and the Secretary of the Treasury has ex-
pressed the belief that goods that were duti-
able when placed in bond. but are now on the
free list, cannot escape duty now unless ex-
ported and then re-imported. This, however
is q construction, and may not be upheld. 1t
was not the intention of the Senate to make
such goods dutiable.
The question of adjournment hinges, of
course, on that of the Presidential action on
the BILL If the President should sign the
bill before Saturday Congress would adjourn
this week. If, however the bill is not acted
on until the end of the week adjourn
ment will not come until Monday or Tuesday,
Both Houses are doing as little work pos
sible. meeting every other day, and adjourn
ing as soon after as possible. This pro-
grGnme is to be continued.

ORGANIZING THE NEW SOUTH.

The citizens Of Washington should, and
have indicated that they will. have royal
reception ready for the delegates 10 the South
ern business mems convention which will
meet here on the SOth and 3Ist instants. The
first incentive TO this hospitality is the fact
that cur city has been chosen as the meeting
place Of the gathering, and added TO this
is the fact that every movement to advance
the business progress Of the South is a move
ment to advance the interests Of Washington
as distributing center.
Five hundred delegates have signihed their
intention to be present, and Washington will
have no difficulty in providing for them. even
in the stress Of caring for the 100000 Knights
OF PythiRs who will be here at the same time.
The conclaye and the convention viii, in fact,
help each other. for the Southern knights
will represent the business solidity Of their
sections, and while here they can kill two
birds with one stone.
The time has passed when the ':new South
has boom sound about it. The black smoke
that curls about Birmingham; the lead mines
Of Missouri; the phosphate beds of Flor
ida, and the manufactures that everywhere
dot the piney woods have long ago assured
the whole world that this philosophic gable
about the ''temperamental Incidence Of warm
zones is nonsense, at least as far as it applies
10 North America But the new life OF the
South needs organization and concentrated
effort. This the coming convention purposes
30 supply, and its efforts to that end viii be
encouraged by the city which it has chosen
for its sittiEgs.

The members of his family and the servants
fastened TO his room and found him lying on
the floor with blood and brains ooZing from
terrible hole in his right temple and the whole

verdict was confirmed later by DR.. Bayne who
was summoned from Washington The
patient remained in a state OF coma until
death ensued
Mr.. Daingerfield belonged to the noted
Virginia family OF that name, who mad INFER
national regulations Is shipping merchants

colossal fortunes. He was born in Alexandria
forty-eight years ago. his mother being the
daughter of Hon. Reyerdy Johnson, Senator
from Maryland, who married a daughter Of
Philip Barton Kew. and granddaughter Of
Francis Scott Key of ''Star SpangIed Banner
fame. The late Senator Barbour was his
brother-in-law, and he was related TO many
prominent families in Virginia.
Mr.. Daingerfeld was not engaged in active
business, but had recently been much inter
ested in new country home, which he was
building few miles from Alexandria His
mother and wife survive him. together with
five children. His eldest son. Henry. has
just entered business in Washington and Kew

Arguments Heard by Judge Cole in the
Maudamus Proceedings.
Arguments were heard yesterday by Judge
Cole, Of the supreme court, in the matter OF
the application for a writ Of mandamus
against Secretary Carlisle to restrain him
from removing Lyttleton T. Dryden from the
Office Of shipping commissioner OF the port OF
Baltimore.
great deal Of interest was manifested in
the motion, the courtroom being filed with
lawyers and others. who listened to the argu-
ments with attention.
Tho Secretary Of the Treasury was repre-
sented by Assistant Attorney General Whit
Bey, and Lawyers Thomas S. Hodson and
Edward S. kines, vi Baltimore, appeared for
Mr. Dryden.
Mr.. Hines endeavored TO show that the Sec
retary Of the Treasury had no power to re-
move the shipping commissioner without
cause, that cause being incompetency or NAL
fessance in Office.
Arguments on both sides were exhaustive.
AIr. Whitney contending that Mr.. Dryden was
removed and Albsrt c. Kerwin appointed in
his place because the best interests Of the
service justified the change.
When the arguments were all before the
court Justice Cole took the papers and re-
served his decision. He intimated that he
would render his decision to-day or to-mor-
row.

An address subjoined to the resolution de-
clares that all who create the wealth OF the
country should join in this movement TO en-
able them to enjoy the due fruit of their
labors. and attributes to our adhesion TO the
monometallic system of Europe the present

Of wheat, cotton, and silver the comment is
made that before the demonetization of silver
$500 bushels os wheat or $4,000 pounds Of
cotton equaled the salary Of q Congressman,
and 5000 bushels Of wheat or $50, 900 pounds
of cotton equaled the salary of the President.

mans salary and 100000 bushels Of wheat or

Present Form.

lie OrJectS 10 lne Antl-anaFc0iSI Bill IN It's
Present Form.
The brief session of the House yesterday
was devoted principally to the passage of
minor bills.
An attempt was made 10 secure considera-
ton for the Hill anti-anarchist bill, but Mr..
Warner objected on the ground that it con-
ferred powers on administrative officers
which properly belonged to the judiciary.
Mr.. McMillin suggested that 500 anarchists,
just being driven out of Europe, were start
ing for this country, but Mr.. Warner said he
could not be panic-stricken by that fact, or
because the bill authorized the appointment
of a number of inspectors to administer the
law at 50, 500 year, either He further OBJ
jected that there was no definition of anarchy
in the bill, and certainly none in common
law.
On Mr.. Warmers objection the bill went
over to the calendar, but Mr. Warner stated
later to THE TIMES representative that if the
bill were amended TO cover the points to
which he alluded, he should not object to its
consideration, even if not prepared to vote
for it.
