NEW TARIFF PLANS.

Here is the tariff programme as far as
the democratic leaders have been able to
agree upon it. They will seek to report
the Wilson bill with the income tax uu-
touched, but with an amendment provid-
ing for duty of one cent pound son raw
sugar and one and one-fourth cents on re-
fined. They may also be able to agree on
duty Of 40 cents ton on coal and iron
ore, though this agreement is far from be-
ing reached. The radical element will
fight it strongly, but if assurances can be
had that the full democratic support will
be given the bill in this shape the demo-
cratic majority will so report it.

PROTECTION OF SEALS.

Japan, Russia and Corea have agreed to
cooperate with the United States and
Great Britain in preserving the fisheries,
in accordance with the Recommendation
Of the Paris arbitration tribunal. The Ar
hitrators, in giving their decision, outlined
. series Of regulations for the protection
Of the seals, and poachers were to be kept
out by the joint action Of the various gov
ernments. Great Britain and the United
States were morally bound to agree to tho
regulations, but the cooperation OF the
other countries was necessarily voluntary.
They all showed their willingness to act
with the United States and in consequence
the Canadian poachers will have pretty
hard time this year.

SENATOR PErr1aRrw's PLAN.

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota says
he is going to test the senate upon one
feature of the tariff bill which he believes
will carry. He intends first to move for q
duty on wool, and if this is not carried no
will offer an amendment placing all wool
ems and manufactures of wool ems on the
free list. He thinks the latter proposition
will carry, because it will probably re-
ceive the support Of all the northwestern
men in the republican party, IS well as all
Of the populists and many dem ocrats. The
South Dakota senator said he would like
TO secure protection for wool, barley. fax

rather lengthy, sets forth in its preamble
that this decision OF Circuit Judge Jenkins
restraining the employees Of the railroad
company from leaving its service was an
abuse Of the processes Of the court, and
was calculated to Cypress and intimidats
these employees in the interest Of the com.

BANDS SILVER BILL.

It il expected that MIR. BANDS bill,
which has been reported favorably from
the committee On coinage, weights and
measures, will be taken up for considera-
ton by the house as soon as the Hawaiian
resolutions are out Of the way. This bill
does not direct the secretary Of the treas
ury to coin the seigniorage, because that
slow process would be practically useless
In view Of tho present financial emergency
Of the government, but it authorizes him
to issue silver certificates upon the $751;
COX, 600 Of seigniorage now stored in the
treasury vaults These certificates will
not be legal tender, and will be redeem
able in silver alone. There Is no doubt
that both houses Of congress will pass
such measure. and it is probable that
the president will sign it as q matter Of
necessity, although he would not do 50

officer stones Evidence Before the
House Committee.

WASHINGTON, July %, 1894. Lieutenant
Charles A Stone of the Navy retired
ordnance officer of the Carnegie Com
pany, today appeared before the Special
Committee of the House Investigating
the alleged armor frauds He had been
with the company about three years, he
said His duty was to witness ballistic tests
and advise the company technically about
armor. He knew nothing of the retreat
ment of ballistic plates "463," "464" and
investigation. He had witnessed the
test of these plates, both halves-top
and bottom. The bottom halves were
submitted for test as representatives
of groups These halves were said to have
been re-treated. They passed the test, but
failed to earn premium. The top halves
were tested afterwards and passed higher,
1919" passing high enough to earn premium
had it been submitted as the representative
of group.
Assuming the evidence concerning the re-
treatment of the bottom halves to be correct,
the top halves were really the representa-
tives of the groups. The difference in the
tests, however, was not great except in the
case of s'619n We did not witness the physi-
cal tests, his duties keeping him in Washing
ton the greater part Of the time. He knew
from the specifications what the duties OF
government inspectors were, but was not ia
miliar with their work.

pany by Secretary Tracy. He was granted
leave and entered the employ of the COM

SIGNATURES AND FASHION,

Many of the largest banks are catering for
feminine custom, and they probably find it
to their advantage to make things pleasant
for lady depositors, though the cashier does
deal of growing when outside of his gilded
cage. Said one such recently to writer for
the Boston Home Journal. ''A woman
never learns to sign her name properly no
matter how much money she may have. nor
how much banking business she does Every
business man has what he calls bis cash
signature which he never varies, and with
which he indorses all checks With women
it's different. They all write the fashion
able hand of the. hour, and they all write
pretty much alike.
Luckily, just at present the swell hand is

Jacob Astor writes in this way, and while
her signature is one that could easily be
copied, have never heard Of it's being
forged. Many society women put their
crests ON their checks just as they do on their
carriages; we like that, because one can
identify the check then without bothering
about the signature. Mrs. Gould has not a
plain handwriting, it is straggly and has
lots of loops. besides she is fond of signing
herself simply Mrs Gould, which is better
from society than from a business stand
point Three women who write alike in the
ultra English fashion are Mrs. Rainsford

.'Maad Howe Elliott is another society
woman who writes her name all sorts Of
ways. Sometimes it is M. H. Elliott, an
other time it is Mrs Maude Elliott and yet
again she will sign her husbands name with
the Mrs. prefix. Miss Anthony writes i'll a
tremulous hand that serves excellently to
identify her checks, and Marie Nevins Bull
writes in peculiar hand, as if her pen were
falling to sleep. Mrs Schuyler Van Rens-
saeler is probably the only society woman
with an individual signature; she calls her
self NJ g. Rensselaer, in magazines and also

ANOTHER STRIKE COLLAPSE.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 25, S94.-After
complete tie-up of ten days, cars were
started ON the street railroad this morning
under protection of special police, and in
charge of experienced motormen who had
been brought from other cities by the COM
pauy. Up to ten o'clock no resistance was
made, though the cars were everywhere
greeted with cries of ''scab' and threats of
violence At that hour crowd gathered on
the viaduct and commenced to stop cars A
squad Of police charged the crowd, but were
driven back by fusilade of stones.
At Brier Hill crowds of sympathizers with
the strikers obstructed the tracks with ties.
vehicles and other objects. When one lot of
obstructionists was removed another quickly
took it's place. There was great excitement
all over the city.

THE TARIFF STRUGGLE
More Senators Visit the Presi-
dent-Who Speeulated.

WASHINGTON, July 25, 1S94-In the crit
ical condition of the Tariff bill in the Senate
more than ordinary interest attaches
to the visits of Senators to
the White House. Senators Lindsay
of Kentucky, McLaurin of Mississippi and
Gordon of Georgia saw the President this
morning. They did not all come together,
but it is stated each gave Mr.. Cleveland his
views as to the feeling in his State in regard
to the threatened tariff deadlock
Once again the Senate was the scene of
more talk about the Presidents letter to
| Chairman Wilson. Interest had apparently
Jagged when the Senate was called to order
for there was not that attendance Of
spectators which marked the sessions of
Monday and yesterday, but as the minutes
went by, seats filed one by one, and the
scenes of the preceding days when hundreds
of people crowded the galleries., and hun
dreds more lined the corridors until
adjournment were repeated Taxing his
cue, perhaps, from the intense feeling dis
played in the speeches on the Wilson leu
ter the Chaplain, in his opening prayer,
cautioned the Senators to be guided in their
actions by a remembrance of that final
day when all men shall be compelled to
give an account of themselves at the Judg-
ment Seat. 1t was unfortunate for the
good intentions of the Chaplain that
mass of routine business intervened between
the prayer and the beginning of the
interesting part of the day for the advice
given was probably lost to mind when the
conference report on the tariff bill was
called up.
The Sugar Investigating Committee had
two witnesses before it this morning.
One was Mr.. Seymour of the firm
of Seymour, Young & Co., the New
York brokers. This Witness in common
with all others, declined to answer
any questions Mr. Allison. a newspaper
man on the Paint and Oil Reporter, testified
that he had seen what purported to be the
original order for the purchase of the Sugar
stock said to be signed by Senator Camden.
When Mr.. Seymour refused to answer
questions in regard to the alleged speculation
Of Senators, Mr.. Gray, of the Committee,
asked
did I ever speculate in sugar through
your Officer"
II don't know who you are-don't even
know your name," was the reply.
When Mr.. Gray enlightened the witness as
to his identity, Mr. Seymour answered in the
negative but stopped there and refused to go

at the previous November meeting, and was
handed back to him as before The Aloffett,
Hoigkins a. Clarke Company, renewed its
bid, and was opened and read. An
other, which was also I read, was
from the Monclair Water Company, and
proposed to furnish water taken from the
Passaic River, above the falls and within
the State of New jersey at $43 per million
gallons at a minimum consumption OF 70,
100000 gallons per day. The general plans
upon which it was proposed to carry out the
proposition were similar to those followed in
! the construction of the Newark works. The
right was reserved to furnish the water
either by pumping or gravity. The COM
pany proposes to deliver into Reservoir No.
/ at Belleville from 15000,9 coo to 20,000,000
daily of Pequannock water The supply was
to be exclusively for Jersey City, and the
that Jersey City could purchase the plant at
a certain time at the cost price and 20 per
cent. thereof III addition.
PHILIP REILLy'S PLAN.
Another proposition was submitted by
Philip Reilly, and the source from which
the water is TO be taken Is the Upper Rock
away river, at or above Powerville, being
above the River at Boonton, and above all
sewage from that city. A sewer of sufficient
size was to be constructed from Dover down
the Rockaway river valley, discharging out
side the water shed, SO as to intercept and
carry off all sewage which might otherwise
enter the Rockaway river at Dover and
Rockaway village
For the first %, ,000, 600 gallons per day Mr.
Reilly asked $40 per million gallons. For
the next 5000, 600. or any part thereof, $34 per
million gallons, and for all water in excess
of 35, 900, 600 gallons per day S32 per million
gallons The amount of water delivered
each day was to be measured by meters OF
other appliances, as might be agreed upon,
and payment for the water furnished was to
be made monthly.
An intaking conduit and reservoir were
to be built at Powerville not less than 4e0
feet above sea level, furnishing a head of at
least 800 feet above the surface of the water
in the Belleville reservoir. A forty eight
inch pipe of cast iron of standard weight in
accordance with the head at various points,
properly coated was to be laid, nearly mid
way between Jersey City and the intake,
and about seven miles from Belleville.
Another storage reservoir with capacity
of 700, 600 600 gallons was to be built, $50 feet
above sea level or 100 feet above the sur
face of the water in the Belleville reservoir.
The supply of water was to be'independent
and exclusively for Jersey City and the city
was required to take minimum of 25,O00,-
900 gallons per diem for period of twenty
five years. The city was to have the privi
lege of purchasing the works at a price to
be agreed upon or fixed by arbitration.
These bids were all rejected at a subse-
quent meeting of the board and Jersey City
is as far as ever from a supply of pure,
wholesome water.
