TARIFF PROSPECTS.

Senator Hill speaks plainly and strong
" in advocacy OF the Presidents stand

mand such tariff reform, he says. and the
efforts of the party to carry 1t through
must not cease until 1t Ia secured or
beaten by actual votes, SO that the re-
sponsibility for its defeat can be fixed
beyond denial.
The Senator carries the war into
Africa. He declares that the situation
demands two reforms. the election OF
Senators by the people In order that
they may be responsive to popular opin-
ion. and amended Senate rules, so M
to prevent the perversion OF the Senate

A TREASURY DISCRIMINATION.

The steamship Lucania arrived here
on Saturday from Europe with large
load Of passengers. Among them was
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt
When the Cunarder reached Quaran-
tine Mr.. Vanderbilt and his family were
transferred to tug. the Chauncey Nj.
Depew. and brought directly to the city
without waiting for the steamer to come
up to her dock. This departure from the
general rule took place by special per-
mission of the Treasury Department AT
Washington The authority to take Mr..
Vanderbilt and his family from the
Lucana at Quarantine was secured from
the Secretary Of the Treasury by Mr..
Vanderbilt's friends.
Some time ago. on the occasion OF
Richard Cookers sudden return from as
sudden trip across the Atlantic, the
Treasury Department refused Brother
in-I.aw Jenkins application to be
allowed to take the ex-Tammany leader
OF the Majestic at Quarantine and bring
him to the city in his own tug. Dr.
jenkins kicked against the refusal a,
an ''indignity." and was laughed at.
But why should the special privilege
be extended to Mr.. Vanderbilt and with
held from Mr. Croker? Mr. Vanderbilt
Ia not high Government official nor a
distinguished public character. The favor
was granted him only because he is
rich. Mr.. Croker Is also rich. although
not nearly az rich as Mr. Vanderbilt.

what amount OF wealth In necessary TO

YOUNG MAYS TALE Of ASSAULT
Policeman, He Says, Struck Him
at Gouvorneur Hospital.
Had RecH Stabbed, but Wanted to
Go to a Drug Store.

Arthur May, eighteen years old, claims
that he was brutally assaulted by Police
man OLeary, OF the Seventh Precinct. at
Gouverneur Hospital last night. and that
three members OF the medical staff of
that institution stood ny and made no
effort to prevent IT, though he was badly
cut about the head before the alleged
assault occurred.
Every effort was made by the doctors
to keep the matter quiet, and no entry
OF the case was made on the blotter at
the hospital.
According to Mays story he visited
some acquaintance at 363 Cherry street
and got into n quarrel with boy of his
own age. Finally, he says. George Dill
lon. of $50 Water street. pulled a dirk
knife and stabbed him In the head, and
also struck him with Il club.
May went to Gouvcrneur Hospital for
treatment He said he got tired of wait
ing for the doctors to attend to him. He
went away and was brought there again
by Policeman OLeary. At the hospital
door May refused to go In. One doctor
sat with his feet on a desk In the office
and another was on the steps when the
noise made by the policeman and May al
the door was heard.
They all gathered around and tried tc
induce May TO enter He said:
Il have been in there once, and don't
want to wait for them butchers. I'll g.

You go inside" said the policeman
| 'or I'll lock you up
II won't" said May. ''let me &C

| With that, It is said. the policeman
| struck the boy a violent blow on the
right side OF the face with his fist. OLeary
is about feet 10 inches high and weigh:
| nearly 200 pounds.
The blow staggered the boy for ar
