A Variety OF Opinion.

In order to give our readers the beneht
of the opinions of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties on the new
ssbareain and sale" tariff bill we append
the following:
Congressman Cochran Dem. .)ofthe Ways
and Means Committee:
The passage Of the Senate bill By the
House is the most disgraceful chapter in
american history. The position hereto
fore assumed by the House is conceded TO
be right, even by the Senate, and IS now
surrendered to some person whose identity
even Is concealed. There is no evidence
that the Senate would not have agreed on
a compromise. In the caucus Mr.. Wilson
was asked to name the men who were
holding ND the American Congress, but he
declined TO do so. We have therefor sur
rendered to a rumor, the source of which
cannot be traced The walls Of Jerico fall
ing before blast Of wind yielded to a
force much more tangible than that which
sent the House Of Representatives scurry-
ing into an abiect, cowardly, self confessed
betrayal Of the principles which they pro-
fess.
W. BURKE COCHRAN.
Congressman Tarsney (Dem.l of the
Wars and Means Committee:
I do not consider the Senate bill as any
Improvement over the Mckinley act. In
nv iud cement it does not reduce the bur
dens of the people, although there is re
duction Of the rates generally throughout
the schedule. The tax on articles taken
from the free list more than oyerbalances
the reductions on the other schedules
should there be any reduction in the bur
dens of the people, such reduction would
not compensate for the injury to the pub
lie and private morals of the people that
must result from the conviction. now, gem
eral, that the bill is not the product OF
the deliberate, patriotic judgement OF tneiT
Legislators, but ii is the result OF influences
that onght to have no potency in the max
ing of the peoples laws.
J. c. TARssEr.
Ex-Speaker Reedl Rep. lof the Ways and
Means Committee:
1t is useless to comment upon the per
formance in the House to-day. 1t fifty
concludes a long and disreputable career
Frsm Mr.. Wilson's lame opening to the
Speakers unfortunate and unjust sllusion
to Mr.. Cochran it was all Of a piece-a
struggle in the dust, nauseous swallow
ing, most unsightly exhibition. The
House dealt with bill that was not before
it-lent itself TO "perfdy and dishonor, as
the President says; and not only did it but
dug down for the chance. That parliamentary
law was violated is a small affair. for it
has not been unusual in this House; but
that they should proclaim with their
voices that they were to fight trusts and
monopolies and then go in course or &C
tion which made trust shares go up four
points the very day it was adopted de-
mands that severe reprobation should ac-
company false pretenses. As for the little
bills rushed through, the subterfuge is too
transparent fer even moments consider
alton. 1t is pure humbug. They pass
ed q bill taxing sugar and coal and then
passed dummies pretending to repeal it,
and all the same day.

beautiful memorial window at the naval
academy to-day. This is the tribute of
the United States Naval Association.

studios of the royal Bavarian establish
ment of Meyer & Co., in Munich, and was
on exhibition at the Worlds Fair. The
window is seventeen feet long, four feet
wide and contains three pictures.
Two of them are portraying scenes at
Samoa and the third is scriptural piece
illustrative of st. Matthew viii 20. Below
the Biblical Illustrations are two large
disks. The upper one shows broad ex-
panse of water which reflects the rays OF
the setting sun struggling through fleets of
wipd-driven clouds. by which the sky is
hidden. On the horizon can be family seen
coral reefs. The scene is intended to rep
resent the harbor of Apia just prior to the
storm. Standing out boldly in the fore
ground is the frigate Trento In the near

How a Daring Smuggler Carried
on His Work.
Chinese Dropped Overheard That the
Craft Might Reveal Nothing
When Searched by Officers.

TACOMA, Wash. Jan. 21.-One OF the
most notorious men in the Northwest is
Larry Kelly, the smuggler, whose daring
and reckless deeds on dark nights with
fast-sailing boats and black painted steam
ers would, it is said, make story not less
interesting than the exploits of Frank and
Jesse James.
The full history of his narrow escapes
from customs officers and revenue cutters
may soon be known, for Larry Kelly is
Just now in the custody of the officers Of
the law. He is in Jail at Anacortes,
charged with some very serious offenses,
chief among which are knocking down and
maltreating his wife, an Indian woman.
and attempting to assault bis two eldest
children. The family fed to Zeno Doty's
for protection. Kelly followed, but Doty,
who is a noted mark sman, was ready for
him with a gun, and kept Kelly off until
an officer arrived.
The foregoing is the first news of Kelly
in years. He was once lhe most success
full Chinese trafficker in the Northwest
and made Hadlock his headquarters. 1t
is said that mis- great success in eluding
the revenue and customs officers was ac-
complished with the aid of two sloops. one
light blue craft with sails of correspond
ing color, and the other jet black. The
two swift sailers were always together.
During the day the blue vessel carried the
coolies, while the black attracted attention
and usually played to be chased by the
cutter. At night they changed their cargo
of Chinese to the black sloop and used the
other for a blind
One of the principal reasons for Kelly's
success in bringing in Chinese is that he
would stop at nothing to be able to land
them and then escape without being de-
tected. 1t is narrated that on one occasion
he was coming over from Victoria with an
unusually light load of contrabands when
he unexpectedly ran upon the revenue
cutter Wolcott, with Captain Glover in
command. The Wolcott gave chase and
was rapidly catching up with the sloop,
when Kelly, with long term in the peni-
tentiary staring him in the face, though
awful as it may seem, he is said to have
deliberately thrown his four passengers
overheard, and when the revenue officer
boarded his vessel nothing was found. so
of course he could not be arrested.
On another occasion he is credited with
having packed a do zen coolies la sardine
in the forward compartment OF one of his
sloops and then nailed the matches down.
Three hours later it was opened and eight
of his passengers crawled out more dead
than alive. The other four ha d succumbed
to suffocation.

CRISIS IN SERVIA.
The Trouble Caused by Ex-King
Milan's Presence.
If Alexander Cannot Have His Own
Way He Says He Will
AbdiCate.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-A dispatch from
Vienna to the Standard says: The Ser
Wan Cabinet has resigned because of the
presence of ex-King Milan of Belgrade
This they declared TO be illegal, but did
not care 10 commence an open conflict
with the crown by Milan's arrest and ex-
pulsion. NJ. Pasitcn. President of the
Skuptschina. is en- route to Belgrade from
st. Petersburg. If he is willing to form a
new Cabinet possibly CRISIS may be de-
ferred.
The real cause of Milan's arrival at Bel
grade. the dispatch says, was difference
between King Alexander and the Radical
Ministers. The King appealed to his
father, who advised him not TO break with
the Radicals unless he wanted to suspend
the constitution and institute a military
regime. which Milan strongly deprecated.
King Alexander replied il he could not
have his own way he would abdicate and
leave Servia, whereupon Milan started ini-
medately for Belgrade.
A dispatch to the News from Vienna
says: 1t is no longer a question of par.
ties. but will King Alexander be able to
keep the throne? With him the Obreno-
witch dynasty must stand or fall, and
Milan has gone to Belgrade to avert the
danger. A party of Radicals. it says, led
by the fanatical priest Guratch and ex.
Premier Pasitch. partisan of Russia,
openly declared In favor of the descend
ants of Kara Georg. Servia's redeemer
from the Turkish yoke. The real pre-
tender to the dynasty is Prince Asten Kara
Georgevitch. Russian officer, who mar
red the Princess Demidoff and is great
favorite of the Car.

summons from King Alexander. Premier

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. 21.-It is
finally decided the Duval Athletic Club
will be compelled TO turn into cash the
check Referee Jonn Kelly holds in trust
for the winner of the big fight. Kelly to-
day visited Corbett and the latter said he
would uphold Mitchell in the demand
that the money be put up. 1t is argued if
the club is ION the squars" there can be
no objection to iDterpose TO the PROPOSE
tion and the money must be in the hands
of the referee when he enters the ring, to
be turned over to the winner at the con-
clusiOn of the battle.
Tomorrow Brady. representing Corbett,
and Masterson. on behalf on Mitchell. will
accompany Kelly before the club officials
and make formal demand for the cash.

completed, although the location Is still be-
