NEW SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
Maj. Geo. H. Hnrries Appointed Today
by the Commissioners.

Mai. Geo. H. Hnrries Appointed Today
by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners this morning 'ap-
pointed Maj. George H. Harries trustee of
public schools for the District of Column
bia, vice Paul Bowen, resigned.
This was the first time the subject of a
successor to ex-Trustee Bowen had been
broached in board meeting, and the discus
sion over Maj. Harries, who was the only
one considered, was brief. All of the Com
missioners knew him, and when Commits
dianship of the public schools, nominated
Mai Harries Commissioner Truesdell sec
onded the nomination and Commissioner
Powell voted yea. The appointment was
not altogether surprise; Maj. Harries
cept the appointment, If 1t were rendered
him, and he replied in the affirmative, al
though he said he would not make any can
vass for the position. There was really no
other candidate considered.
NAL Harres is one of the weH-knoWn
newspaper men in the country, and his ex.
cellent work during the Indian outbreak at
Pine Ridge in the winter of 1S9O-01 won for
him a national reputation. He came to
Washington in 1880 and was first employed
on the National Republican. Later he
served on the Post, and seven years ago
became a member Of The Star staff. For
fifteen years he has been member of Co
lumbia Typographical Union. No. 101, and
he has represented the union in the FEEDER
alton of Labor. He was an active member
of the Printers Assembly Of the Knights Of
Labor and took a great deal of interest in
the assembly until it went out of existence
Mai. Harries was a member of the Sioux
commission of 1891. He has always evinced
a great interest in local affairs, is a mem
ber of the board of trade and one Of the
working officers Of the National Guard.
His appointment is regarded everywhere as
a good one, and the Commissioners today
received many congratulations upon their

THE BEER TAX INCREASE.
II VIII Probably Not BE Taken Up by
the Ways and Means Committee.

The ways and means committee Of the
House is to meet tomorrow, and it is the
expectation of those who favor an in
crease of the beer tax that this question
will come up for action. 1t is hardly likely,
however, that this will happen. 1t is well
understood that the politics of this ques-
ton lies in the direction of the repeal Of
the Income tax. 1t Is recognized that, the
underlying motive for the increase of the
beer tax is to make 1t possible to dispense
with the income tax. The evident insuffi-
cheney of the income tax and the deiay
which Will attend it's collection make the
beer tax much more available and
prompt revenue producer. The champions
of the income tax recognize, therefore,
that II the two revenue taxes were in op-
Grafton together, and should produce a sur
plus revenue, 1t would be the income tax
that would have to so, while the beer tax
would be retained. The chairman of the
subcommittee to whom the bill to increase
the beer tax was referred is the most con-
spicuouS advocate of an income tax on the
committee. He may almost be said to be the
originator of the idea in this Congress. 1t
has been the burden of his song since the
Fifty-thiTd Congress was elected, and his
faith IN it is still mistaken. 1t is not prob
able, therefore, that his subcommittee will
recommend any action on the beer bill
On the contrary, they will probably pct it
in the pigeon hole and let the dust gather
on it.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Japan's Minister to England in the
City-Peace Commits miSsiOncrs.

,JaDln's Minister to England in the
City-Peace commissioners.
Mr.. Takaki Kato, the Japanese minister
to Great Britain, and his secretary, Mr.. NJ.
Tosadi, are making a short visit to this
city. They came over from New York last
night, and expect to return this evening.
They are to sail from New York for London
on Wednesday by the Teutonic of the
White Star line. Their visit to this city
has no special significance. 1t wes orig
ipally planned that Minister kurino, the
resident Japanese minister, and Mr.. Stevens
of the legation should go to New York to
meet the minister to Great Britain, but
the latter expressed desire to visit WASH
ington before leaving the United States, an ;
the plans were changed accordingly.
The two envoys of Japan spent the en-
tire day together. Most Of the time was de-
voted to the Capitol as the visiting min
lister desired to see the Congress in session
He also visited other points OF interest
but as he was here entirely in private
capacity. he did not call upon the Presi-
dent.
A Star reporter called at the legation to
interview Minister Kato, but could not
catch him there nor at the Shoreham,
where he has rooms.
His visit to the legation was not alto
gether fruitless. however, as he learned
that the japanese government had desig-
mated Viscount Mutsu, minister OF foreign
affairs, as one of it's representatives In The
negotiations for peace, with Chang Yen
Huan, the Chinese commissioner Each
government will have two commissioners,
but those mentioned are the only ones yet
selected.
The probabilities are strong, however,
that Count Ito, prime minister. will be
Japan's other commissioner. 1t IS rot
krcwn here who has been appointed on
the Chinese commission in place of Shao
whom japan is said to have refused to
receive on account of his conduct while
governor of Formosa in Offering rewards
for the heads of japanese soldiers.

TRY 1T AGAIN
A Modified Carlisle Currency Bill to Be
Brought Forward.

Secretary Carlisle has not indorsed the
Jones proposition. which involves the un-
limited coinage of silver, the seigniorage
retained by the government being the diff
ference between the market value and the
coin value Of the metal. President Cleve-
land, with stubborn tenacity equaled only
by Mr.. Springer's hopes, insists upon fur
ther efforts being made to get the Carlisle
bill, in modified form, once more before
the House for consideration. The demo-
Gratis of the banking and currency commit
tee Of the House expect in day or two
to bring out a new edition of the Carlisle
bill, with the notifications which they
think will be acceptable. The principal
change relates to the character of money
which may be used for the 30 per cent de-
posits by banks to secure circulation. Both
the original Carlisle bill and the substitute,
which was afterward put forward, provid-
ed that this 30 per cent security should be
in greenbacks or notes OF 1880. 1t Is pro-
posed to change this SO as to permit the
use Of gold, silver, silver certificates, treas
ury notes or greenbacks, in the discretion
of the government
object of the Change.
This Is intended to meet the objections of
the former bill that the treasury notes and
greenbacks might be cornered by the bank
'ers and become scarce, and possibly go to
bank currency.
1t is designed also to meet the objection
CT the silver men that silver and silver
certificates were Disseminated against in
not being made available as security for
the national bank currency. Coupled with
this amendment is one providing for the
coinage of the silver seigniorage Of the
treasury. Democratic members of the
committee who favor action profess to be-
leve they can secure consideration in the
House for the measure thus modified, and
even express hope that favorable action
upon 1t may be secured.
No Action Likely In the Serute.
The multiplicity of propositions being
made in the Senate and the random talk
there indulged in does not indicate dispo-
sition or expectation Of action on any finan-
cial measure by that body. If there were
any hope of action the committee would be
at work and members Of the Senate, es-
pecialry the democrats, would be very care
full about committing themselves to any
position until the committee had decided
what to recommend. The freedom with
which Senators talk on the subject and the
variety Of views they express in tentative
measures indicates conclusion that moth
ing is going to be accomplished. and each
Senator is looking out fer himself and try
ing to make his record straight
Jones and Teller Confer.
Senator Jones yesterday submitted an
outline of his bill to Senator Teller. He
and other silver men conferred regarding it
and decided that the coinage Of the Amer
lean product was not satisfactory. Today
Senator's Jones andsTeller had long con-
ference in the formers committee room, in
which an effort was made to adjust the
differences existing between the friends OF
silver and reconcile them to the admins
tration.

Deficit OF $4,000 ,oG0.
Mr. German quoted from report Of the
condition of the treasury on January Il,
showing that the deficit since July 1, 1894,
on that day--or the excess of expenditures,
as Mr. Carlisle called twas $34.OOOO 600.
In the estimates Of Mr.. Carlisle, while the
tariff bill was pending he made the re-
ceipts under the Senate bill for the ensuing
fiscal year $363, coo, 600 and the expenditures
$S7s, ,0OO, 900, or a deficit Of $4,000 600. The
deficit was already double that sum and
the year was but half over.
Mr. German spoke of the difficulty OF
making accure te representation and de-
clared that in his opinion the Secretary
ought not to have been held to his figures.
Cannot Trifc With the Situation.
But" said he. addressing his democratic
colleagues, you cannot afford to trif1e
with the situation. You must maintain
without party divisions the honor and In
tegrity of the government"
Continuing, Mr.. German said that the
present tariff system made radical re-
VerSdl III the Tulo tAdI Adu SOfCAhCu AS6io-
lation, and marked a departure from the
professions of the democratic party.
That rule had been that the greater part
of the taxes should come from customs
duties Only once, after the war, was this
rule departed from. But now it was en-
tirely reversed.
1--WE are raising more taxes from our peo-
pie than from customs duty said Mr..
German.
Not enough revenue was being raised
from customs to pay the pensions. The
bulk of taxation was now being levied
within our own borders. The customs
revenue would be many millions short of
the $14OOOO,OOO required for pensions.
MIR. Allison Replies.
At 45 Mr.. German finished and Mr.. AL
liscn took the floor to reply. Mr. Hill tried
to get recognition and will follow Mr.. All-
