THE TARIFF BILL.
Every Democrat Who Votes Against
1t to Be Crushed Out.

The speech of Mr. Mills in the Senate to-
day is designed to be a full exposi-
ton of what the authors of the tariff
bill regard as essential to a public under
standing of the measure. They propose to
rest their case on that speech as far as
the general discussion of the bill is con-
cerned, and any other long speech making
by democrat will be regarded with dis
favor. Their purpose now is to push
steadily for speedy action, and to be as
aggressive at every point of the proceeding
as their strength will admit. The threat to
read Hill out of the party, which is Sc
riously made, is illustrative of the attitude
they propose to assume, and the threat is
intended to have application to any other
democratic Senator who shall carry his op-
bill or join in an attempt to delay action
with the idea of making the vote on the
tariff bill test of democracy, and the old
principle of an Allentown for every Sow
den," which was applied to Mr.. Randalrs s
followers by Cleveland when he was in the
White House before, is again to be applied
1t is the purpose of the dominant element
in the democratic party to use the whole
power of the party organization to crush
any democrat who votes against the bill
They will make some concessions to secure
the support Of the dissatisfied democrat is,
but with the concessions will go the threat
that If they still persist in fighting the bill
they will be punished.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
A RumOr That Admiral Walker VIII
BE Placed in Charge.


The well-known desire of Secretary Her.
bert to place an officer of high rank in
charge of the Naval Academy on the ex-
piration of Capt. Phythan's term of serv-
ice in that capacity in June next has re-
viyed the rumor that Rear Admiral John
G. Walker is to be assigned to that duty.
This Is mainly due to the well-authenti-
Gated belief that Admiral Walkers assign
ment to the command of the Pacific station
is merely tenn .ry. The principal pur-
pose of sending i'm to Hawaii on the re-
tirement of Admiral Irwin was to insure
the establishment of a naval coaling sta
ton at Pearl Harbor and to prevent any
foreign interference in the formation Of
the constitutional government of the
islands especially in the elections which
take place during the latter part of this
month The belief that Admiral Walker
will soon relinquish his present command
is borne out by a statement made by him
before leaving Washington that he would
not be gone very long. There is scarcely
any doubt that he was sent to Hawaii ON
special mission and that his sea service
Will terminate on its execution. The next
term of the Naval Academy will not begin
until July, and 1t will not be necessary
for Capt Phythian's successor to report
before that date.

A FREE COINAGE BILL
What Mr.. Bland Expects to Do in His
Committee Tomorrow.

Mr.. Bland expects to have a meeting Of
the House coinage committee tomorrow to
see what can be done toward bringing be-
fore the House again a bill for the coinage
of silver. 1t Is not regarded as probable
that the Meyers bill for the coinage Of the
seigniorage and the issue of bonds which
has the approval of Secretary Carlisle, will
be reported by the committee. II any bill
is reported it will probably be free coin
age bill The reporting of such a bill
would. however. amount to little more than
an evidence of the determination of the sill
yer men never to abandon the cause of
silver. since there Is no possibility of
free silver bill becoming a law as long as
Mr.. Cleveland is in the White House. II
II were possible to secure executive ap-
proVal for free coinage bill there would
De no difficulty about passing it through
both houses of Congress at this session.
put Win the foreknowledge that IL would
be vetoed large number of the silver SYM
pathizers cannot be got to take any part
In an attempt at such legislation. They feel
that 1t would serve only as an irritant, Of
already.
Let Up on the Administration.
The disposition to fight the administra-
ton, which is in the hearts of most of the
democrats in Congress, is almost entirely
overcome for the time among the southern
ana western men who belong to the radical
tariff reform element of the party by their
anxiety for tariff legislation. They have
always been anxious to keep the tariff to
the front, and it has been a common COM
plaint among them that Mr.. Cleveland, by
bringing up the Sherman repeal bill at a
time when they wanted to consider the tar
IN. put the silver question to the front to
the exclusion of the tariff. They now want
to pass a tariff bill and want to pass it
quickly, therefore they are not apt to court
fight on any other question that might
interfere with this object.
What IL Expected of Mr.. Cleveland.
If Mr.. Cleveland will do what is now ex-
pected of him. use all the power at his COM
mand to aid in the speedy passage of the
tariff bill. ignoring all differences of opin-
ion between democrats on other questions.
it is very evident that he will greatly
strengthen his position in the party. and
make some friends where he now has enc
mics. There is undoubtedly a disposition
growing to draw all the tariff reform forces
in the party together and. in working for
the passage of tariff bill, to keep out of
sight all differences relating to other sub
jects.

AFFAIRS AT BLUEFIELDS.
Skepticism mt the State Department
Relative to Recent Reports.

The State Department has had no recent
advices from Bluefields, SO it is not pos
sible for the officials to affirm or deny the
correctness of the report published this
morning that the Nicaraguan government
has seized and sold the property of the Mic
aragua Canal Company. captured vessel
bearing the American flag. landed troops at
Bluefields and done other sensational
things. But as Greytown is within easy
reach Of the cable and the canal company
might naturally be supposed to cherish an
interest in its own property, 1t Is believed
that the officers in this country would have
informed themselves of the seizure of their
works, and notified the State Department
II such things had actually happened.
The State Department officials do not be-
lieve that there has been any illegal seizure
OF an American vessel while Capt. Watson,
with the San Francisco, was at Bluef1elds,
and. regardless Of the movement of the Mic
araguan troops, American interests at Blue
fields are believed to be secure.
