THEIR EVERLASTING SLEEP.
Probable Result of the Reference of the
House Independent Tarin Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Har-
ris yesterday carried out his views re-
garding prompt action on the four in
dependent tariff bills by calling meet
ing of the finance committee immedi-
ately after the reference of the bills to
the committee. The members of the
committee, excepting Senator FOrhees
and Senator Morrill,, We're all present,
and Mr.. Harris informed them that he
was pledged to report the bills back to
the senate. and would do so if possible.
Mr.. Jones entertained similar views.
while Senator Vest and Senator Nc
Pherson were silent. The republicans
being asked if they would agree
that the democrats should vote
the six votes belonging to them
in the composition of the COM
mittee declined to do so. upon which
Mr.. Jones declared that it
was necessary for the demo-
Gratis to ask the senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of SEN
ator Vance. He made a move toward
the senate chamber to carry out his de-
sign when adjournment was an
nounced: and whatever contention is to
come is postponed until 10 o'clock this
morning, when the committee will
meet again. What the outcome will
be, or how the democrats will fill the
vacancy, which is necessary before re-
port can be made, is problem.
The republicans have also been con-
sidering this matter of filling the va
cant committee office and it is said
they will join the two democratic pop
ulists and the Louisiana senators and
select the member of the finance COM
mittee who in that event would be Mr..
Blanchard, of Louisiana, and then
there is little doubt as to the fate of
the four bills. Many believe that Mr..
Vests prophecy that their reference
will lead to their everlasting sleep
would be fulfilled.

Ciu5nan'S Embarrassing Experience
After Writing Love Letter.
''Do you know" said Mr.. Man the
other evening at the roof garden, ''that
the boys at the club have a merry and
most distressing find on me. / suppose
it's one of the inevitable consequences
Of renouncing bachelorhood that man
lays himself open to attack from the
most unsuspected quarters. Now, loyal
citizen as l am, have received bitter
blow from the United States govern
ment. 1t stabbed me, using the dead
letter office as dagger. 1t was like
this: just a month ago at the club
wrote letter to the girl am going to
marry. 1 had told only one or two of
my intimat te friends of the engagement,
and we weren't going to announce it
until fall. Well. as I was saying. l
wrote to Alice Jevons that day at the
club, and told her how fond l was of
her. l loved her very hard that day.
and used some strong expressions;
suppose my heart ran away with my
pen. so to speak.
ITO make a short story a little
longer, l sat down by the window to
direct the envelope. l got to gazing
out on the fieecy clouds floating across
the blue depths of the sky, and think
ing about her, as a man does, you
know. Well, suppose, 1 directed the
letter wrong. 1t never reached her.
Instead of that, month later, came a
nasty-looking official envelope ad-
dressed to Loving Tom,' in care of the
club. The post Office people hadn't
been able to find the girl, SO they tried
to send the drivel back to the one who
wrote it. and their only clew was the
signature and the engraved letter-head.
Well, nobody at the club could fancy
who Loving Tom was, so the house
committee opened the envelope. The
first thing they saw was dearest
Alice and the first sentence was abSo-
lutte inanity. Then they recognized
my writing and forebore to read

wELLMAN's RETURN.

Failure of the Much-Advertised Arctic Ex-
pedition-Almost Reached the Eighty
First Parallel, When They Were Driven
Back by Intensely Severe Weather After
Suffering Many Hardshfps-Wfn Mako
Another Attempt In 1896.
TROMsOE, Norway, Aug. 17.-Walter
Wellman and his companions, with the
crew of the wrecked steamer Ragnvold
Jarl, arrived here Wednesday from
Spitzbergen aboard the fishing yacht
Berntine.
Wellman says that the expedite on
had almost reached the s1st parallel of
latitude when forced to turn back on
May 12. The weather had suddenly
become intensely severe, and northward
from the Seven Isles broken ice made
progress impossible. The expedition
then traversed the. coast of Northeast
land, most of which was explored.
Prof. o. Il. French surveyed much of
the coast, adding to the map Capes
Gresham, Whitney, Armour and Scott
and Walsh island. WeIlman and
seven others started on July /. with
an aluminium boat to force a way
northward over the ice pack. After a
severe struggle they were compelled
to return.
They started on July to return
to Walden island. In crossing Dove
bay they often had to wade through
water up to their waists. Many other
hardships were suffered. The alum
inum boat rendered excellent service,
resisting pressure which certainly
would have destroyed ordinary boats.
One of the party, Airny. broke his
leg, and had to be carried to Walden
island, where they arrived on July %.
The Walden and Seven islands were
still hemmed in with ice. After wait
ing two weeks it was decided, on
August 4, to push southwark. 1t was
risky work but all succeeded in reach
ing Low island safely.
On August the Berntine was
sighted. They sailed on August :, call
ing at Danes island for Oyen and Hey
erdahl and provisions.
Wellman declares that he viii make
another attempt in 1896 to reach the
pole by the Spitzbergen route.

eight miles west of this city Wednes-

there were no traces of it up to the date of the completion of the coach house in May. At that time MT. Dodge, the superintendent at Mount Vernon, ascertained that a Washington coach had been sold from an auction room in Philadelphia to Forepaugh's Circus company for fifty dollars, and also that the Pennsylvania commissioners had tried unsuccessfully to get it from the company last summer for the Colum- bian exposition. Mir. Dodge immedi- ately corresponded with Forepaugh's, and Barnum & Bailey's circus com panies, and also with Mr. Brownfield, chairman of the Pennsylvania commis- sioners. Mir. Brownfield used the large opportunities at his command in get ting on the track of the coach, and in June letter was received from him to the effect that the coach had been traced to the wreck of circus train ''in the vest" and was probably a ruin. But the end was not yet. Sus- pecting that he might have been mis- led, MT. Brownfeld renewed the hunt, which ultimately resulted in finding the coach safely stored away. Mr. Dodge at once opened negotiations for its purchase, but further proceedings were arrested by MT.

Just before they reached Sixth street he leaned over her and said, quietly, so quietly that only the Post reporter back of them could hear: T am going to kiss you good-by when I leave the car"
 ''Oh! please don't" she said appeal ingly; mot before all these people"
 But he was decided and said, persist ently: ''Yes I shall; so raise your veil. If you try to resist people will see it and wonder about it, and they will look at you all the way uptown after get off,
 She glanced up shyly and then slow ly raised her veil. He bent over her and kissed her and no one in the car looked up.

Some Miuor Differences from the Ameri
 can Commercial Traveller.

can Commercial Traveller.
 The commercial traveller in England is little different from his American brother, pursuing the same line of pol icy in getting there" so far as secur- ing trade is concerned, says Hardware His invariable rule, however, is that his first price given to a local merchant is his last and only one. There is no going in the morning with an offer, and then in the afternoon with an ex- tra inducement to make. the trade This being the invariable rule, it saves much labor and apprehension in the mind of the buyer that he has not done so well as he could have done with more diplomacy.
 Everything is done for the comfort of the traveller, and at the hotels a special department called the com mercial room is set apart for his ex- elusive use. In this room smoking is prohibited until nine p. m., place be- ing devoted to that purpose at other times. The traveller takes his meals in the commercial room, the dinner be- ing a set affair in which all travellers in the house generally participate. The oldest man is at the head of the table, and is called the president; while at the foot is the youngest man, and he is termed vice president.
