THE TARIFF BILL.
VIII Probably Not BE Reported In the
Senate for Several Days.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Several Demo-
cratic members of the Senate finance
COMMITTEES have expressed the hope that
the tariff bill might be reported to the full
committee tomorrow, but this is not
probable. One OF the Senators who was
prominent in the case says the bill which
will be finally reported will be much more
satisfactory to Senators OF the North than
the bill which was brought into the eau
Gus. Members OF the committee remain
reticent about the changes being made.

A HORSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
He Eats and Sleeps Under the Roof That
Shelters the President.

shelters the PRESIDENT.
A horse has his home in the White
House. This is q literal fact which
visitors never discover and which few
Washington people know. The horse
| which shares the Executive Mansion
with the President isn't thorough
bred. He has neither pedigree nor
record. He is just a plain, everyday
horse, with white star in his fore
head, a faithful companion to Edgar
r. Beckley.
And who is Edgar r. Beckley? The
man who, for twenty-five years, has
carried to and from the White House
MI of the interesting and valuable mail
received and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty, says
the Globe-DemOcrat. There are men
who seem bound to become monuments
of fidelity to routine trusts. Beckley
IS one of them. Rain or shine, in all
seasons, he makes the hourly trips be-
tween the White House and the city
POST Office. He is the White House
mail-carrier. And the horse that has
his home in the White House carries
Beckley.
The part of the mansion set apart
for the horse is one corner of the con-
servatory. A thin partition is all that
separates the roomy stall from the or
chids. There is just room enough for
the stall and a temporary supply OF
feed, and the horse eats and sleeps
under the same roof with the President
of the United States.
