scheme on Foot to Pass an Amend
lnent to the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1S94.-A scheme is
already on foot to secure the restoration of
the pottery rates, which, as has already
been stated in these dispatches, are to be
settled as soon as possible. The present pro
gramme is to restore the duty on decorated
and undecorated ware to the figures of the
House bill by an amendment to the bill re-
pealing the free admission of alcohol used in
the art which is now before the Senate for
action.
1t is expected that if quorum can be
secured TO act upon the alcohol bill the
amendment for the pottery schedule will be
added, in which case the measure will go
back to the House. That body will then
have thealternative of accepting the amend
ment OF letting the alcohol clause stay in the
tariff bill In the latter case loss of fully
ten or fifteen million dollars to the govern
ment will result. Everything depends, how
ever, upon the securing of a quorum in the
Senate, and the effort to get this quorum to-
gether is now being made.

Two Years for TRYING to Steal
Ride.
Michael Slattery, a Pennsylvania, was on
trial this morning in the Court of Special
Sessions before Judges Rice and Kenny,
charged with breaking and entering into a
freight car at the Weehawken depot of the
West Shore Railroad on August 13 last. AS
the train was about to pull out of the depot,
the conductor saw the prisoner remove the
pin which secured the car door, break the
seal and enter The car was filled with gen
eral merchandise. The conductor delayed
his train and with the brakeman caught the
prisoner inside the car Slattery's defence
was that he wished to steal ride. The
Court sentenced him to two years in the
State Prison.
The severity of the penalty created a great
deal of surprise among those present in
court 1t seemed evident that the prisoner
merely wished to steal a ride to Buffalo, and
however feloniously disposed he might be,
could scarcely walk off with heavy boxes
requiring the aid of two men to move.

it is confidently expected that the mon

month. The forty cars. thirty first-class

make the round trip it will take twenty
minutes The towers which form the
supports of the wheel contain four stages
of large rooms, and the aXel, which is
made of steel tube seven feet in dame

The Five Corners Republican Club has
just put up a large transparency in front of
the Avenue House, where the club makes its
headquarters. It was painted by Schank,
the clubs artist. and is eighteen feet long
and ten feet high. 1t viii bear the names of
the various candidates on the Republican
ticket when they are nominated. With
the usual republican tendency to get all they
can without paying for it, the clubmen
bought no lights for the transparency, but
hung in such position as, they thought, that
the rays from huge arc light on the
opposite corner would illuminate it. But a
big telegraph pole stands in its way and
throws the sinister shadow over the surface
of the transparency bathing it i'll gloom and
darkness, which the superstitious members
of the club take to mean that the Repub-
