Democrats Said to Have Agreed Upon
Changes In the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Committee
on Finance held a meeting to-day for the
purpose of comforting over proposed
changes in the tariff bill. Secretary Car
Isle was before the committee. There is
no room for doubt that the committee
agreed upon policy, but all the parties
to the conference are very reticent. 1t is
known that the income tax bill has been
altered so as not to discriminate against
persons who derive an income from in
corporations or business partnerships.
Other changes have also been made which
it is believed will satisfy its opponents
II is believed. also. that amendments to
many of the schedules have been agreed
to. Secretary Carlisle is IN sympathy
with the efforts :of the committee TO OBJ
tain bill that will surely pass by party
vote, and there is good reason for believ-
ing the movement has the sanction of the
President.
The Democratic leaders realize the time
is approaching when il will be necessary
for them TO maintain quorum with but
little assistance from the Republicans,
and have reinforced the official letter OF
notification to the members, sent out by
German, Chairman of the Democratic
caucus, with personal appeals. The Re-
publican Senators do not admit that they
will resort TO dilatory measures, but say
If the Democrats attempt 10 enforce un-

EyIcrED TENANTS BILL.
Text of the Measure Introduced in the
House of Commons.

House OF commons
LONDON, April 26.-The text OF the
evicted tenants bill which was intro
duced in the House of Commons on
Thursday last by Sir Charles Harcourt is
published. The bill provides that where
a tenant holding in Ireland has been ter
minated since May, 1879, the former ten
ant may, within year after the Begin
ming of the present Act, petition the
Board of Arbitration for reinstatement.
The board may make conditional order
of reinstatement, and unless the land
lords, within the prescribed time, show
cause against the order, the Board of Ar
bitration may make the order absolute.
If the landlords show cause why the
Board of Arbitration should hear the
parties, and, after considering whether
the conduct of either the landlord or the
tenant is unreasonable, or whether the
one had unreasonable refused any pro-
posal made by the other, the board may
dismiss the petition or make the order
absolute and order the Sheriff to put the
petitioners in possession. The rent OF
the holding is to be the former subject to
fair rent being fixed in pursuance of the
land law OF 1881, and the holders have the
same right as other holders of present
tenancies to have rent fixed.
The evicted tenants bill also contains
generally the provisions cabled to the
Associated Press on Thursday last, and
goes into effect in November after its
passage. The provisions of the bill al
ready cabled to the. Associated Press pro-

ELECTION FIG URRS.

There are twelve counties in this
Congressional District. We have what
purports to be the official vote in all
except Hancock County, which in 1892
gave Winstead $50, Turney 4O1.
The eleven other counties in 1899 gave
Winstead 1896, Turney 1850; Repub-
lican majority 5,376. In August last
these eleven counties gave the Repub-
lican Supreme Court ticket 21,477,
Democratic SupremeCo Court ticket IS, 2OS;
majority for Republican Supreme Court
s,e69.
The same counties November @, 1894,
gave Evans l7,458, Turney 9,617; Re-
publican majority 1886.
Turney's loss from 1892 is 2,SSS in
these counties, while Evans gains 1877
over Winstead's vote. Comparing the
vote in August and November, 1T ap-
pears that 4,024 Republicans in these
counties did not vote November 6.

JUST how much fraud was practiced
in the late election no one knows. The
Democratic party has maintained its
supremacy in Tennessee 30 long by
fraud, that they imagine nothing but
fraud could turn them down. Speak
ing for Washington County, we believe
there has never been an election freer
from fraud since the war, and the only
trouble here was apathy. There was
S95 more votes polled in August in this
county than on November 8. This dis
proves that the increased Republican
majorities were obtained by fraud.
