Vest Says There Will Be No More
Tariff Legislation.

-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Senator Vest is
not optimistic as the chances of financial
legislation by this Congress. The Senator
was on his way to the meeting of the
Finance Committee to-day when asked
about the story published in some of the
morning papers that compromise bill lad
been agreed upon in the Senate.
1T is all rot" he said. Il suppose you
mean the stuff about financial measure
to be offered in the Senate by certain
Dem ocratic Senators. There is nothing in
il. Furthermore, in my opinion, there is
no possibility Of passing any financial bill
In the Senate. We have no rules, and five
Senators can prevent action on any bill
during this session. The only hone for
prompt and efficient action was in the
Democratic patty, and We failed at the ont
set of the session. Instead Of changing
the Senate rules so as to provide for stop
ping debate and then resoluteiy taking mn
the financial question and the tariff hills
from the House, the Democratic caucus of
the Senate deliberately refused to do any,
thing of the kind. AS matters now are in
the Senate nothing will be done except by
unanimous consent. II the ayes and noes
could be called on taking off the d fferen-
tial duties Of one-tenth and one-eigbth on
sugar. the majority would be for removal"

appears that in conceding to the United
States the benefits of the minimum tariff.
Spain has also secured substantial ad-
vantage. Her West Indian colonies ordi-
narily supply the United States with
about 20 per cent of the sugar imported
into this country. With the exception Of
Hawaii. all other great sugar-lmporting
countries have a direct or indirect bounty
on sugar exported. Thus the sugar is
liable to duty of one-ten'b of cent per
pound over and above the 40 per cent duty
imposed on Cuban sugar, and 10 conse-
quence the Cuban planters practically re-
ceive portion equal to the discriminating
duty paid by European sugars. and it Is
believed will thus be able to control the
market Of the greatest sugar-consuming
country on the globe.

This struck the nail on the head. 1t
was an ocular demonstration that carried
with ii conviction of the truthfulness of
the corrected forecast.
Yet tie weather-maker has some excuse
for slipping up on demonstration some
times, as, for instance, when storm
comes out OF the midst of the great Pacific
Ocean. He has nobody staked out down
there anywhere with convenient electric
button, the touch of which will convey the
information of Its approach.
If the disturbances, however, are jour-
neying from any other quarter, the Off
cial may accurately determine its course
and tell all about it that may be desired.
1t was suggested that the wind would
raise to a velocity of fifty or sixty miles an
hour north of Cape Mendocin0, and that
it would be thirty or forty miles all hour eff

this storm should have been predicted ON
Monday evening from local indications,
but there was nothing In the barometric
reports the day before by telegraph to give
q hint of such storm"
IL he can hit it any nearer by local indi-
cations than by telegraph reports it would
appear to be part of wisdom to adhere
to the indications.
With all the deluge comparatively little
damage was done In the city. The pre-
yi0us storms had wrought all the havoc
possible, il seems, and only left it to this
one to flood cellars and crack few sewers.

A Pretty Sharp Letter Sent to the
CIR

CIR
LONDON, Feb. 18.-The Daily Chronicle
prints a column long manifesto, issued
by the peoples rights party in Russia,
and now circulating throughout the en-
pire. The manifesto is in tho form OF a
letter to the car, and is remarkable for
plain and forcible language. After CEN
surfing him for his recent assertion OF his
absolutism, the letter says:
1.-THE most advanced Zeemstovs asked
only for the harmony of the car and peo-
pie, free speech and the supremacy OF
law over the arbitrariness of the execu-
five. You were deceived and frightened
by the representations of courtiers and
bureaucrats. Society will understand
perfectly that it was the Bureaucracy
which jealousy guards its own omnipo-
tence, which spoke through you. The br-
reaucracy, beginning with the council OF
ministers and ending with the lower coun-
try constable, hates any development, So
| cial or individual, and actively prevents
| the monarch free intercourse with the
representatives of his people, except as
| they come in gala dress, presenting con-
gratulations and offerings.
Your speech proved that any attempt
| to speak out before the throne, even In
| the most loyal form, about the cry1ng
needs of the country meets only rough
and abrupt rebuff. Society expected from
YOU encouragement and help, but heard
only a reminder of your omnipotence
giving the impression of utter estrange-
ment of car from people. You, yourself,
have killed your own popularity and have
alienated all that part of society which is
peacefully struggling forward. Some in
divlduals are jubilant over your speech
but you will soon discover their impotence
In another section of society your speech
caused feeling of injury and depression
which, however, the best social forces vii
overcome before proceeding TO the peace
ful but obstinate and deliberate strugRI'
necessary to liberty. In another sector
vour words will stimulate the readiness
TO struggle against the present hatetu
state of things with any means. Yo'
were the frs. to begin the struggle. Err
long it will precede you"

A Double Elopement with Many Sensa-
tionaI Features.
NAPOLEON, Ohio, Feb. 1s.-At the juno
ton of the Wright and Salem roads
stands large country house surrounded
by 26O broad acres of land. A year ago,
John C.. Rollin, a widower, with one son,
married the widow Dalyring, who had n
daughter of Il. All four lived in the large
house. Everything moved along swim
minrly, but in the course of time queer
mix-up of affections took plack. The love
of the old man for his wife began to wane,
and tender feeling for his buxom step
daughter sprang up in his breast. Dame
Rumor protruded her obnoxious nose.
and a few days ago friend OF Roiln APP
preached the old gentleman and eXpostu-
lated. Terrified at what he thought would
| be his sons wrath, Rollin scraped lew
hundred dollars together and departed
| taking his stepdaughter with him.
At about the same time the son was
| called TO account by an incensed neigh.
| Dor. who gave him to understand that his
| affection for his stepmother was alto
| pether too ardent. and not ut all un
| known. Young Rollin became terrified
| and told his inamorata OF the state OF al
fairs. and this couple also fled, to escape
| the wrath of the old man. Where the
guilty pairs have gone is unknown. The
| old farm house is deserted and Franz
| Uttes, tho family attorney, has assumed
charge of the place. He will probably
soon receive instructions to begin divorce
proceedings.
