SENATE.
Senator Mills Defends the Income Tax
Feature of the Tariff Bill.


Washington, April 24.-The tariff bill
was laid before the senate and Mills
took the floor.
He made strong plea for the passage
of the bill. 1t was a strict party meas
ure, and had been a party measure
from the foundation of the government,
and from the foundation and organiza-
tion of the Democratic party. He
strongly defended the income tax, The
law was going to be passed, he de-
clared emphatically, If not by this con-
gress, then by the next.
"Mr. President" continued he, earn
estly, this is a duty devolving on this
body which cannot be evaded. We must
pass this bill and make 1t as good as
we can at first, but pass It we must
The people want this bill passed now
they do not want to wait till they are
starved to death. They do not want to
wait until the whole country is par
alyzed, but they want us to do It now,
and the business prosperity of the coun-
try will revive"

Taken Up by Paragraphs.

Washington, April 24.--Accordlng to
the agreement entered into between the
Democratic and Republican senators,

ceed as they both have unfinished
speeches on hand. The Republicans
known as the steering committee Of
that party and Senator German held a
conference to brace up the arrangement
made that no agreement would be at
tempted in the senate.
The Republicans informed German
that their side Of the chamber would
insist upon quorum when any vote
was taken on the amendments TO the
bill
German, who Is chairman of the Dem
ocratic caucus, has written a letter to
every Democratic senator In or out Of
the city asking them to attend the ses-
sions Of the senate, for the purpose Of
pushing the tariff bill He reminds
them that the unanimous consent un-
der which the tariff bill has been con-
sldered will end tomorrow at noon.
Harris says the bill must pass by the
1st Of June. while the Republican lead
ers say the date is at least two months
too early.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-After the
senate was called to order at noon, Mr..
VOORHEES,, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee, reported from that committee
the tariff bill, introducing it in a few
words. When it had been read by

II ask that the bill be printed and

MANDERsoN ON RECORD.

The Nebraska Senator Favors Municipal
Control of Street Railways, Etc.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Manderson has put himself on record as
being in favor Of municipal ownership
of street railways, lighting and water
works. Addressing the annual meeting
of the Washington Congregational club
upon ''The Good Citizen in Municipal
Affairs, y the senator advocated change
in the present system of municipal gov
ernment. It was unfair that in so
many cases men controlled the funds of
a municipality who had no interest in
its welfare and prosperity. Private
corporations, he said, had no right
to furnish the light, water or
transportation for municipal purposes.
If there was profit in conducting these
enterprises, the municipality should
conduct them and reap the benefits.
And it was the duty of good citizens to
see that this was brought about. The
president, Justice Brewer, of the United
States supreme court, said that it was
this system that gave to New York city
the enormous financial power, and it
was the duty of the citizens to attend to
it If reform was to be accomplished,

New YORK, March 21.-Homage that

continents to General Neal Dow of
Maine on the occasion Of the Goth birth
day of the famous father of prohibitory
law, or the "Grand Old Man of Prohibi-

christened HIM, and it has fallen to the
share Of few men not identi-
fed with political life to re-
ceive the International recog-
milton that goes out to the venerable
New England citizen of the Pine Tree
state. Nearly year ago the idea of
an International celebration of the day
was conceived, and the event was for
mulated by Miss Frances Willard, and
it was at once taken up by hundreds Of
branches of the Women's Christian
Temperance union in this country, as
well as by the temperance societies of
Great Britain, the latter designating it
as white Letter day."

Decision Expected to Give Them a

WASHINGTON, March 21.-An impor-

retary j. NJ. Reynolds is looked for this
week. 1t refers to totally helpless chill
dren of deceased soldiers. Ithas been held
heretofore that they had no pensionable
status and many special acts have been
passed and are pending to cover such
cases. 1t is stated on good authority
that the secretary will hold that chill
dren who were pensioned through the
mother or guardian as minors up to the
age of IL and who are or who become
totally and permanently helpless are
pensionable under the general laws.
This will reach a considerable number
OF highly meritorious cases who have
been deprived of deserved assistance

acts of this character,

OUSIED OFFICERS.
The Michigan Supreme Court Sus-
tains the Action of Governor
Rich
In Removing Several of the State
Officers For Gross Negli-
gence.
Stay of Judgment Pending Appeal to
the United States Supreme
Court Refused.

LANSING, Mich, March 21.-The su-
preme court rendered decision sus-
tanning Governor Rich in removing
Secretary of State Joachim, State Treas
urer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner
Berry, for gross negligence in failing
personally to canvass the returns of the
amendment election of 1893.
They hold that it was within the
power of the governor to remove such
officials under the constitution, and that
he has power to determine as to the
facts.
A judgment of custer is entered.
Refused a Stay.
AS soon as the decision was read,
Colonel Atkinson, for the canvassers,
announced that he would appeal the
case to the United States supreme court
and asked for stay of proceedings.
Chief Justice McGrath refused the stay,
saying the point could be determined
just as well if the custer went into effect
immediately,
The cause looking to the removal of
the officers by the governor, was gross
negligence in permitting the manipula-
tion of the returns Of 1898, whereby
their salaries and that of the attorney
general were largely increased.
All of the above officials and several
clerks have been indicted by the grand
jury in various charges ef fraud.

Resolution t" Enlarge the Veto Power
of the President.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The ques-
ton Of amending the constitution OF the
United States so as to give to the presi-
dent the right to veto items of appro-
priation bills has long been one that
many mem bers of congress have given
considerable thought to. It is we'll
known that frequently the chief execu-
tive finds provisions in these bills
that are Objectionable to him, yet,
rather than sacrifice the numerous
items which would result from voto
he signs the bill and they become laws
as whole. Fruitless efforts have been
made in previous congresses to remedy
this unsatisfactory condition of affairs,
and in this congress similar attempt
will be made. Representative Dear
mond of Missouri has introduced in the
house resolution amending the consti-
tuition so as to empower the president
to veto any one or more items of an
appropriation bill.

OMAHA, March 21.-Four special
treasury department secret service men,
in addition to the regular force en-
ployed at division headquarters and the
forces of the United States marshal's
Office are working in Omaha and vicin-
ity to unearth a private mint which has
turned out over $1,000 standard silver
dollars, using the same amount of sill
yer and alloy as the government. The
plant has been in operation some
time and it is said it is impossible to de-
tect the difference between the money
made by the counterfeiters and the gen.
uine turned out by the federal mints.
The profits of the gang are made IRON
the seigniorage, which is said to give
the makers a rakeoH of 81 cents on each
dollar made. The secret service men
have secured clue which they believe
will result in the entire gang being
jailed shortly.

one of floods and washouts. No trains
have been able to get through since
Monday one week ago, but arrange
ments are being completed for transfer
ring at Owehee, 20 miles east of here.
The first delay was caused by land
slide near Mountain Home. Three
tramps were killed and the engineer
killed. Great damage was then done
by breaking of the Orchard irrigation
dam. The wreck of freight train at
Huntington, and another flood between
Shoshone and Pocatello complete the
mishaps. The great amount of snow in
the mountains and chinook wind has
made it impossible for stages to reach

One Way Fare From st. Paul to Chicago
May Be Placed at 90.
ST. PAUL, March 21.-The one way
rate to Chicago is liable to be reduced
to SO. One of the Chicago-St. Paul lines
has made application to the Western
Passenger association for authority to
quote this rate as relief against certain
competitors, which it charges with Sc
cret rate cutting. It holds that some,
if not all, its competitors have been
manipulating the tariff rate Of
1850 through scalpers to such an ex-
tent that a 50 rate has been effected.
The charges made by this road will be
investigated and it's request considered
by the Western Passenger association
in Chicago. All ST. Paul Chicago lines
will be represented at the meeting,
which promises to develop some inter-
esting facts regarding the integrity Of
certain lines in this territory as main
tainers of authorized rates.
