NEW YORK, Dec. 25-A special to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says:
The Herald says in reference to the
Anglo-American dispute that the protest
of the bankers is of Importance, more so
than the political applauding of the gov
errors.
The Novosti strikes new note. Rus

pute it declares to be one of satisfaction
over this proof of the impossibility of an
Anglo Saxon union. Such union, adds the
Novosti, would be threat to the indie

Referring again to the message, the No

cabinet is striving for the complete ex-
clusion of the European powers from the
American continent.

TWO REVENUE BIDS.
HOUSE COMMITTEE GIVES THEM
MUCH ATTENTION.
Many Arguments Made and Various
Questions Carefully Considered
Republicans Disclaim Amy Parti-
san Motive.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.-The House
Ways and Means committee devoted
sew cral hours of Christmas to a final
consideration of the two revenue bills
which are to be presented tomorrow
Printed copies were laid before the
full committee, the plan being an
nounced to the Democratic members
for the first time. although they were
familiar with its details through the
accurate forecasts presented by the
Associated Press.
The bills were formerly adopted as
Committee measures, motions to lay
them on the table being overruled by
party votes. Each bill was read in
sections. and motions were made
by the Democrats to strike out each
section. which, of course, failed to
acarry. 1t was voted to give Thursday
20 the consideration of the tariff bill
by the House, and Friday to the bond
bill. with a vote on each at the end
of the days debate upon it. The
Democrats endeavored to secure three
days debate to gain a postponement
OF two or three days, in which to study
the probable effects Of the measures
IL enacted: also to have the bond bill
debated before the tariff bill, and the
Republicans adhered to their original
arrangements.
Those Present.
The committeeman present were:
Dinsley. Maine; Dolliver. Iowa; Payne.

Chairman Dingley stated to the
committee that the bills were not
framed as a Republican measure. but
as one calculated to save the credit
of the government. which, according
ITO the presidents message and per-
sonal communications made by Sec
rotary Carlisle to members, was en-
dangered The condition of the
ffeasury. from their representations,
demanded immediate action and the
Republicans had prepared emergency
abills on lines which seemed most eX-
pedient.
Mr. Dingley laid particular stress upon
the assertion that the first bill did not
constitute and was not intended for
q revision of the tariff. Consequently
there was no necessity for "a long dis
cIssion of the BILL The Wilson act
mad been taken as the basis for the
tariff bill. An estimate of the probable
increase Of revenue to be derived from
the tariff bill had been made, based
on importations under the Wilson act
in 1894.
Probable Increase.
This showed a probable increase in
the revenues Of $40. e0e, 900, which was
about equal TO the deficit of last year

gram from Lincolnshire Free Masons:

THE DEMON JEALOUSY.

MARSHALL, ILL.,, Dec. 25.-What will
probably prove to be a fatal shooting has
occurred near here. Brown Lee Logue,
the telegraph operator, escorted home
from a school entertainment a young lady
of whom Charles Wilson, a young man,
was enamored. Wilson had, it is said
threatened to kill anyone who went with
his girl, but Logue simply laughed at
him. Wilson waylaid Logue as the latter
was returning from the girls home, and
shot him twice, one bullet breaking
Logue's right arm near the shoulder and
the other lodging in his shoulder. 1t is
feared that Logue is fatally hurt. Will
son has barricaded himself at home and
deffes the authorities, threatening death
to any one attempting his arrest. At last
accounts he has not been secured.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-The Butte
team will not leave San Frar cisco with
out at least one victory to it's credit. The
Olympics, poor in victories, were again
defeated, but this time they played a
game to which no shame attaches. The
score-14 to 12-tells the tale, and to one
who knows football it also indicated
somewhat the character of the game
The features of the game We're the re-
markable stand the Olynpics made
against the Butte eleven on their five yard
line and ellis great runs. ellis is no
less than a wonder. His running is fast
enough for a sprinter on a cinder track,
but with it he holds his wits and can use
his straight arm to perfection.

As Gray Sees 1t.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga special to the
World from Washington says: Senator
Gray, Of Delaware, is the most devoted
friend and champion of the president in
the senate. The World submitted in writ
ing several questions among them the
following:
Did the senate endorse the presidents
statements as to the Monroe doctrine and
accept his conclusion when it granted his
request for a commission?"
Senator Gray replied: 81 cannot an
swer except by saying that L presume it
intended top
DO you think that England is bound to
accept boundary in South America
which we dictator"
LAS 1 understand the position of this
government in regard to the appointment
facts may be ascertained for the infor-
nation of the government, by which I
mean the executive and congress, in re-
gard to the disputed frontier between
formation, as l understand it, is to in
form the conscience of the government of
the American people, and it could not be
expected that its conclusions were bind
ing upon either of the disputants."
Teuer's Response.
On the Republican side Henry NJ Teller
replied: IF you mean did the senate en-
dorse the presidents enunciation OF the
Monroe doctrine, L can say that in pass
ing the bill we sought only to give him
power to ascertain the facts with regard
TO the boundary line between Guiana and
Venezuela.
at is not the purpose OF this country to
dictate a boundary line to Great Britain.
After the proposed commission has found
the facts in the case, we shall hope that
Great Britain will yield to the request
for arbitration if the facts show that she
is pushing her frontier unfairly. If she
does not, and the findings show she is
violating the Monroe doctrine, we shall
maintain that doctrine.
"Of course we have never claimed to
be a disinterested arbitratist or judge.
Neither after nor before the message can
we be considered one.'

Petitions are being circulated in
this city, praying the state legisla-
ture to provide by law against the
monstrous iniquity of turning the
daughters and sisters Of the people
over to the tender mercies OF the
roue and debauchee at the child
age Of twelve years. The petition
is for raising the age of consent to
sixteen years. This age is too
young, but it is infinitely better as
a measure Of protection than the
present law. The LIGHT favors
eighteen years, but if the state
solons cannot do the very best
thing for its young girls then let
them do the next best.
