Try TELEGRAPH THE TRIBuNE.1
Uashington Dec 22.-While the House Of
representatives will act rs promptly as prac-
@,cable II is not probable that bill for the
relief OF tho National Treasury can be passed
before Thursday. There are many things to be
considered, many matters Of detail to be at
tended to. before bill can be submitted to the
House. although a general line OF action has
been substantially agreed upon by the leaders
OF the majority
There Is reason to believe however. that the
measure to be proposed will provide for duty
on all wools with a proportonate increase on
manufactures Of wool sufficient to add about
500 900 900 or $23.0O00oo a year to the revenue
from that source: for the restoration OF the
duties in the wood schedule as TO bring
about s2000o00 year from that source; for
a revision Of the duties on agricultural prod
nets and for a horizontal increase of say 20
ner cent In the rates Of duty in all the other
schedules except that relating to, sugar. with
proviso that rate of duty shall exceed that
imposed by the tariff law Of 1890.

WILL add ss5 oooO 900 to $40 900. 900 a year to the

based upon the theory of "a tariff for revenue"
Coupled with 1t will probably be provision au-
thorizing the issue and sale Of short-time bonds
for the purpose of meeting the current expenses
Of the Government. whenever the revenues
shall be found inadequate.
In regard to this feature Of the proposed meas
ure II is proper TO observe that the plan offered
by Mr.. Reed in the House of Representatives last
February which was rejected by the Democratic
majority at that time. is now generally discussed
and approved II provides that, to enable the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay the current ex-
revenues shall be deficient. he be authorized and

DISAGREEING WITH PROFESSOR Won HOIST
Chicago Dec. 22.-Prof. Herman Won Hoist, OF the
University Of Chicago. is being roundly scored by
the faculty for his recent expressions against Pres
dent Cleveland and his attitude on the venezuela
question. The officers of the university fear that
Professor Won Iolsts opinion will be interpreted
an expression of the sentiment OF the university
which, in fact. Is directly opposed TO that OF the
German student OF American politics. President
Harper, Professor Judson and Secretary Goodspeed
have given out signed statements, the following be-
ing President Harpers:
The message and policy Of President Cleveland on
the Venezuelan situation meet my earnest approval
Whether the Monroe Doctrine Is or Is not part Of
the system OF international law Is immaterial. 1t
a part of the settled foreign policy of the United
States Whether the Presidents Interpretation of
the Doctrine in the present can be found in
the phraseoogy OF the message of 1893 Is mere petit
Jogging. His Interpretation Is logical deduction
from the spirit and purpose OF that message. The
United States cannot permit the forcible extension
of European territory this continent. That must
be resisted by all means in our power.

committee remarked that before he
went into this investigation he did not

in regard to his ordinary business

were all supplied with excellent "for-

fact that Taylor took 100000 OF state

A School Teacher Hustled ~
the BOUNDARY.


Grand Forks, N. D.. Feb. 3.-When
w. NJ. Cochrane, early in December,
resigned the principalship Of the pub
lie schools at Mimic to become private
secretary to Gov. Allin. the Mimic
school board engaged Prof. Alexander
Mcconnell of Toronto as his successor.
When the latter arrived to take charge
of the school he applied to County
superintendent Woods for the required
certificate of examination. The super
intendent declined to grant the certifi-
cate on the grounds that his employ
ment was an %infraction Of the alien
contract law. Mcconnell subsequently
tOOw a state examination and received
a state certificate, but a protest was
made by the Mimic people and the mat
ter was referred to the authorities at
Washington. Wednesday morning Nc
COnnell was arrested by immigration
Inspector Eyford, on a warrant issued
by the secretary of the treasury, re-
quiring the deportation Of the school
teacher to the country from which he
came. and he was taken across the
Canadian boundary line. The affair
has caused quite a connection here.

Visits made this morning to all the va
