The Tariff Bill.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 20.-There is good
authority for the statement that the Sem
ate subcommittee on the tariff bill has
decided on small duty on coal and lead
ore, and that iron ore will remain free, as

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The fear that young
lady teachers who instruct Cinnamon in
Sunday schools will be injured by asso-

some gentlemen of the congregation have
formed an "Anti-Chinese Sunday So

teacher is assigned to each Chinese pupil
the young teachers are in great danger
from close personal contact with the
Mongolians. Cases of marriage of teach
ers and pupils are cited, and a determined
effort to rescue the young ladies from
possible peril Will be made. An enter
tainment given by 100 Cinnamon to the

THE PACIFIC ROAD DEBT.
New Draft of the Bill Will Probably BE
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-The advisability
OF making a minority report against the
bill for adjusting the debts of the Pacific
railroads is being considered by two or
three members of the committee who
have opposed the. Reilly bill When a
test vote was taken Saturday on resolu-
ton offered by Harris of Kansas against
any extension of time to the corporations
nine votes were cast against it and five
for it, the latter being by Harris, Weadock
OF Michigan, Boatner of Louisiana, Coop
er OF Wisconsin. and Snodgrass of Ten
nessee. Though the vote has not been
taken upon the Reilly bill, it is under
stood that two or three of the five were
satisfied with the amendments and will
vote for it, SO that when the new draft is
submitted to the committee it will he sure
of a safe majority.
Mr. Harris expresses the fear that in
changing the governments second mort
gage to first mortgage, the holders of the
third and fourth mortgages on parts of
the Pacific systems may interpose with
the contention that the government has
lost its position in the transaction and
become secondary to their claims upon
the property and My succeed in an ap-
peal to the courts. Other members do
not consider the objection well taken. If
1t Is decided to make a minority report

both brief and formal, consisting merely
of statement by Voorhees, to the effect
that the Democratic members of the con-

other effort, unable to find common ground
to stand upon, and had decided to recon-
mend a report for general disagreement
upon the bill as a whole There was no

vote-that they should elect to stand by

from the senate amendments.
Disagreement Report in the House.
Chairman Wilson met Speaker Crisp
and members of the house committee on
rules as soon as the conference adjourned.
When the conference closed Wilson said
he would not report the disagreement un-
til today. As result of the conference
between Wilson and the speaker the COM
mittee on rules agreed on a programme for
handling the tariff disagreement when it
was reported to the house Wilson made a
brief verbal report as soon as the house con-
vened today. Catchings, from the commit
tee on rules, thereupon presented special
rule allowing two hours fer debate, at

has no objection to limiting it to two
hours. Wilson and Reed will each control
one hour.
