Tariff Debate Expected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia tariff debate
is expected in the House next week. when
it is believed Wilson and others will state
their views as to the adequacy Of the rev.
enue under the new law. They feel that
there is misapprehension as to the Sc
robustness OF the revenue condition, and
that the revenues will undoubtedly be
sufficient when the new law is fully in op-
Grafton. The opportunity to present this
view will be given when Wilson reports
the bill taking off one tenth of a cent diff
ferential on sugar

Amateur Skaters to Compete.


NEwBURG, N. Y, Jan. 19.-The
races of the National Amateur
Skating association will be run
on Orange Lake near this city to.
day. The surface Of the ice there
admits Of q fine course half a mile
in circuit, and a full view of the
sport may be had from the win
dows and balconies of an adjoining
hotel. The lake is very accessible
by electric railway, running direct
from the Newburg station. The
district is prolific in veteran scor.
ers, timers, and other officials, and
every pond in the neighborhood
has it's budding champion eager for
such rare opportunity Of counting
glory.
The programme for the cham
pionship includes races at 440
yards, one mile, five miles, and ten
miles. None of these events came
off last winter, owing to the absence
of suitable ice at Red Bank, n. j.
In the 1913 series at Red Bank
Howard Moshier, Of Storm King,
n. Y, won the 440.yard event, and
he is traing hard to retain his
title. Moshier has been training
daily on Orange Lake. He had a
lively experience with Jim Do
noghue few days ago in a match
for a $25 medal. The distance
chosen was 900 yards, to be covered
three times, Jim Donoghue took 2
heats out Of the three and the
medal, but Moshier fell when lead
ing in one heat.
Entries for the 40 yard race to-
day are: Jim and Joe Donoghue,
Newburg, N. Y; G. and w. Clark,
Storm King, n. Y; w. G. Doug
lass, New York, A. c.; M. Philips,
New York, and Sam S. johnson.
johnson wants to run in all the
races. The presence of Johnson in
good condition should make the
occasion memorable.
johnson is to have a tandem
machine for the ice, upon which
he and O'Connor will attempt to
do a little flying for records, and
O'Connor will also ride a single
arrangement while acting as pace
maker to Johnson in skating.
Both the tandem and the single
machine will be fitted with a long
steel skate runner in front and a
claw attachment to the rear wheel.
The tandem will be geared to 100
inches, and the single machine to
about eighty inches, as against the
sixty-eight or seventy to which
most track cyclists are accustomed.
So-called "skacycles" and other
nondescripts of skate and cycle
combined have seldom upheld the
theory Of their great speed, but
Eek is confident Of success in this
instance.
The officers of the National asso-
citation OF Amateur skaters are:
President, w. B. Curtis; vice presi-
dent, G. G. Walton; secretary, S. S.
Montgomery; treasurer, A. A. Bor-
dan; captain, H. +. Ruermeyer.
The following entries have been
received for the races: Quarter
mile race, to be skated on heats
John s. Johnson and Olaf Rudd,
Minneapolis; Howard Moshier,
Clarence Rudolph and Walter
