New York, Aug. 30-It is stated on good authority that the details of the reorganization plan for the Philadel- phia road have not been perfected.

 New York. Aug. 30.-captain I ccul- lagh and Detectives Browne, Barker and Hart of the McDougal streG sta ton caught George Middleton, -ank Farrell and Forrest Cole. while hey were engaged in an attmeot to ter the rear door of clothing stor- at No. 2sS Spring street last night. All the men were arrested and will be re- manded to-day. Middleton was clerk, Cole sailor and Farrell a laborer. For some time, however, they have been known to the police as habitues of Bow cry lodging houses with no recognized occupation.
 They had been plotting the burglary, and in some way information and de- tails of the plan reached the ears of Captain McCullagh. It did not come until fifteen minutes before the ap- pointed time and so the captain and his men could find no secure hiding place, but were forced to Turk in the shadow of the fence in the back yard. The darkness of the night and the care lessness displayed by the burglars se- cured the officers from detection for some time, during which the three men were at work trying to force the door of the shop. Finally one of the police men carelessly scraped his foot on the ground, making a slight noise. Mid dletons suspicious were aroused and he walked over toward the shadow to in- vestigate. As he stole cautiously to- ward the fence, peering into the dark ness, he walked straight into Captain McCullagh's arms. That disposed of one man, and the other two were at once captured and taken to the station.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The knotty points are gradually being smoothed out in the new tariff law by Secretary Carlisle.

MORE ARTFUL DoDGING.

some Gays ago we published among
the Washington dispatches a statement,
said to have been prepared by the ex-
perts of the treasury, giving the aver
ages,o the tariff under the Wilson bill,
the senate bill and the Mckinley act,
arranged by schedules. 1t represented
that there was not SO much difference
between the two bills of this session, in
some schedules the seEate's bill aver
aging lower than the similar one in the
house bill. 1t concluded with the state
nent that. including all schedules, the
average OF the present law is 49, per
cent; the senate bill So 70 per cent, and
the house bill 35.52 per cent, a differ
ence between the house and senate
bills of only 1.27 per cent.
1t now transpires hat the statement
was prepared for Senator FauIkner's
congressional committee, and has been
sent out to the Democratic press of the
country by the secretary of that COM
mittee for the purpose of inducing the
belief that the assault on the senate for
Its concessions to protection is unwar-
ranted, and that it's bill is as good a one
as that which the house prepared. 1t
also rranspires that. as might have been
expected from IT'S source, there is an at
tempt TO make figures lie by carrying
an impression which IS false in fact.
Chairman Wilson was struck by the
sugar schedule, which the experts stated
made the present duty l4.55 per cent;
the house bill 2S.43 per cent, and the
senate bill SO 50 per cent. As the house
had put all sugar on the free list, there
could be no place for an average of the
house bill rate i'll this comparison. In
v%eStigation showed that the Wilson bill
had left confectionery OF the taxed list,
and that the tax on this would. based on
last years imports, average 2S.43 per
cent. How misleading this statement
is will be seen from the fact that our
imports in 1898 of sugar, free and duti-
able, amounted to over SIG, 600. 900,
while the confectionery imported was
worth only $4,000. The tax on this
would be only some $751; 600. while the
senate's proposed tax on sugar is esti-
mated to yield from S45, 900. 900 to $780,.
600. 900. No wonder Chairman Wilson
sent word to the secretary of the con-
gressional committee to withdraw the
misleading and false statement, under
threat of publishing an exposure Of it
owe bis signature.
This cast discredit on the whole state
ment. The same method may be ex-
pected to run through all the schedules.
The house bill put iron ore Oh the free
list; the senate bill taxes it; coal is
taken from the free list and taxed in
the senate bill. This would have the
effect to increase the averages of the
house, and diminish those of the senate
bill. This subterfuge is of a piece
with all the work that has been
done in the senate by recreant Demo-
Gratis to secur for special interests In
which they are concerned a larger
measure of protection than the house
gave. 1t only adds n more reason
why the house should send back the
senate bill, with a demand that the house
bill be passed, and with a notice that
the house will sit until next March with
out receding from this demand.

Speeches c%ondemning B%reckinridge
were made by Prof. j. w. McCarvey,
Judge j. c. Kinkead aud Rev. j. r.

continuously. The following was
adopted:
Whereas. The representative of this
district In congress has covered himself
with disgrace, and the people whose
servant he is with modification and
shame, by gross and frightful licentious-
ness, by lying and deceit and disregard
of the tie that human beings hold sa-
cred. and by such shamelessness and
disregard of moral obligations as has
made him the wonder and the scorn of
the whole world; and
Whereas, This matter in all of it's
phases possesses distinctive and terrible
features which place it almost alone
and unparalleled in the record of human
depravity in u country, striking at
the very foundation of social order and
iiIe II knocking at the purity
OF our women and the sacred
ness Of our homes, rendering the
author of these crimes a public enemy:
therefore we pledge ourselves to use
every honorable means to prevent the
denomination OF w. G. P. Breckenridge.
W. appeal to our Democratic friends
by the honor of the district and in the
of God to rise In their might and
prevent the fearful moral degradation
which would be bound up in the cleo
ton Of this man.

A BEER

Struck Mrs. Fisher Square in the
Face at a College Entertain.
ment.
CARLISLE, Pa. June 1.-The annual
burlesque entertainment of the fresh
men of Dickinson college at the opera
house here tonight ended in a row
which almost assumed the proportions
of a riot. While the performance was
in progress a crowd of ~sophonores en-
tered the hall.
They were supplied with horns and
other c~ontrivances for making noise,
and set up a din that completely
drowned the voices of the performers.
One of the latter became so enraged
that he hurled a beer bottle
from the stage in the audience,
striking Mrs. Fisher, of this city,
full in face. The other women in the
audience were panic-stricken, and began
to crea and the freshmen and sophs
became involved in a free fight. The
police rushed in at this juncture
and dubbed right and left until
something like order was restored,
but it was not until President
Reed, of Dickinson college, appeared
that comparative quiet was restored.
Mrs. Fisher, who had been carried to
the stage in an unconscious condition,
was revived with difficulty and taken to
her home. She is badly hurt, but will

Such men suffered greatly by the dep.

fair that they should receive recon-

But it is undoubtedly true that the
claims for damages sustained during
the war are largely IN excess of the
actual losses. When a man sues his

he Invariably fixes the amount of the
claim at a sum three or four times
greater than the actual loss, making al
lowance for the tendency of Judges and
uries to apply the pruning knife. One
who sues for $4,000 seldom expects to
recover more than one-tenth of that
amount. and is very well satisfied if he
secures that much. This is the case
with all Southern wal claims. They
represent an amount as

losses they will be found to he compare

SOUTHERN VAR CLAIMS.

After the present generation shall
have passed away and oar chlldren's
children shall occupy the places we now
fill, the same old Southern war claims"
that ever and anon pretrude themselves
upon the public view will still be here.
Like the poor, they will always be with
US; like the boyle man, they will always
be used to brighten the timid. They
will be as persistent as Banquo's ghost,
and will not down at the bidding of
those whose dreams they haunt.
The Washington correspondents of
the Republican papers are displaying
much industry just now in parading
before the public this bugaboo of Sec
tional hatred. They have discovered
that there are many such claims before
the courts for adjudication, and that in
some of these the loyalty of the claim
ants during the war is presumed, in the
absence of proof to the contrary. The
claimants in all cases make affidavit to
their loyalty, but the correspondents
charge that these affidavits are uni
formlY false, and that the claims are
invalid by reason of the fact that the
parties did. either voluntarily or under
compulsion, furnish aid and comfort to
the C~onfederacy. When it comes to a
test, however, the public will prefer to
credit the oaths of the claimants, who
are of reputable character. rather than
the unsustalned statements of irrespon-
sible correspondents striving to work
up a sensation.
1t is a we'll known fact that there were
many of the people of the South who
remained loyal TO the Union during the
war. They did not dare to assert their
opinions openly, any more than SYM
pathizers with the ~Confederacy dared to
declare their opinions at the North.
Many a mar was mobbed or shot dead
at the North for a thoughtless word
uttered in favor of the South. The

soldiers learned that loyalty was not
