The arrest of some of the preparatory
class of the Howard University on Wednes-
day because they gave voice to their col
lege yell on the streets has stirred up con-
siderable feeling among the faculty. Rev.
j. E. Rankin, president, last night spoke
as follows:

body; that they were profane or vulgar;
that they had been drinking; that they

university call and were singing THE Old
Kentucky Home, )" which the band had been
playing at their anniversary, and for this,
with their graduating certificates in their
hands, they were seized upon and lodged
at the station house"

on Thursday morning, when the reve-

members of the ways and means com,

bill on Thursday after a brief debpte.

No General Tariff Advance.
Chairman Dingley and other mem.
bers of the committee have been be-
sieged by members trying to secure
tariff advances in schedules which af-
feet their districts. To all of these Mr..
Dingley has replied that nothing in the
nature of a general revision of the tar
iff would be undertaken and that most
of the requests would not even be con-
sidered. 1t seems to be established
that an advance in the tariff on wool,
with a compensatory rise on woolen
goods will be a feature of the bill, al
though the rates have not been deter
mined. Mr.. Dingley has said to sever
al members that a general advance on
agricultural products doubtless would
be included.

OUTLINE OF PROPOSED RELIEF

Increased Tariff for Revenue and Bonds
for Gold Reserve Protection
WASHINGTON, Dec. a. - The bill
which the finance committee will pre-
sent to the house will be one providing
for tariff advance for revenue and a
bond bill along the lines proposed by
Mr.. Reed in the last congress.
Bond Issue and Tariff Changes.
As preliminary it was decided that
while the situation in the senate as to
the fate there Of any measure passed by
the house should be kept in mind the
house must act indepently of the result
in the upper branch Of congress. The
general outline Of measure was prac-
tically agreed upon but the details
have not been completed. The senti-
ment was unanimous. that no gold
bonds should be authorized but that a
bill on the lines of Mr.. Reeds amend
ment of last year should be drawn up
and with that should be coupled some
tariff changes for the purposes Of rais-
ing additional revenue. Last winter
the Republicans took the stand that the
menace to the gold reserve was caused
primarily by the lack of revenue to
meet the expenses of the government
and this is still the proposition

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 23.-Sta ate Dairy
and Food Commissioner McNeal called
attention to the fact that on Dec. 6 last
fire occurred in the briggs stores, or
East India spice warehouse, of New
York city, and states that in those
stores were stored As, $50 bags of pepper
(being about one-half the New York
stock), 800 bags of cloves, 80 cases CT
nutmegs, 1000 bags of tapioca, 1,000
bales of China cassia and 1000 bales of
sago. Of these vast quantities at least
one half was either partially or totally
damaged by fire and water.
In consequence, announces the doc
tor, the amount of damaged pepper to
be thrown on the market within very
few weeks after the fire reaches 3,000,-
600 pounds. The commissioner states
that already three sales of these spices
have taken place; one on Dec. II, one
on Dec. 13, and the third on Dec. 16

VI WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. = The course ct
the senate this week willdepend largely
if not entirely upon the turn which
affairs take in the house. In the eye11
that the house should adjourn over tho
holidays. the senate will be ready to al
saiesee as a majority Of the senas rs
are still unquestionably favorable to The
usual holiday recess. The probabiS-
ties point strongly to the absence of
quorum the greater part of the week in
case no recess is taken. The
calendar contains only one bill
of general Importance and not
to exceed half dozen minor bills
Consequently there is little prospect Of
actual legislation in any event. It. is,
therefore, more than probable that
whatever sessions are held will be de-
voted largely to speechmaking. If the
house should hold over financial or
revenue bill there would be no possibil-
ity of receiving report upon it for
some time, but such measure might
afford matter for informal speeches,

OPENED MORE HOPEFULLY.
Upward Tendency on the New York
stock Market.

Upward Tendency ON the New York
stock Market.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The temper OF
the street at the opening was more
hopeful, owing to the higher quotations
for American securities in London. It
was recognized that the character of
the early cables would determine the
course of the New York market. The
street was again crowded with outsid-
ers, who thronged the entrance and
galleries of the exchange.
The opinion had been gathered from
the newspapers that Monday would be
a field day in earnest The brokers
were out early, and anxiously ex-
changed opinions as to the probable
course of the London prices. The re-
ceipt of the cables caused profound re-
lief, as they showed advances ranging
up to 2A per cent in St. Paul. The
only important exception was decline
in Canadian Pacific of 258 per cent.
Other reassuring reports and rumors
We're current. It was announced that
the clearing house committee of the
New York stock exchange had decided
to issue certificates as upon former oc-
casions, and this, it was known, would
exert decidedly beneficial effect in
averting trouble if any were impend-
ing. The scene in the stock exchange
at the fall of the chairman's gavel, an
nouncing the formal opening of busi-
ness was deeply impressive. The out.
siders were,l of course, unaware Of the
change for the better in the sentiments
of the brokers. The opening was even
wilder than it had been.

orally understood that the ways and

pared to report the bill for the relief of
the treasury situation before Thursday,
The attendance In the house was COM
paratively small The speaker an
nounced that by, an inadvertence in the
announcement of the committees on
Saturday the name Of Mr.. Tracey (Rep.
Mo. had been omittep from the COM
mittee on naval affairs. After a little
argument and objection from Mr.. Crisp
in behalf of the minority against the
cnairmen of the tree election commit
tees referring the election contests, the
speaker ended the matter by making
concession and referring the contests
one to each committee in regular order.
DIR. Dingley rep, Me-, chairman of
the ways and means committee, ,athen
took the floor The committee on ways
and means, he said, had met in the
morning and had unanimously decided
that in view of the presidents special
message to congress on Friday and the
circumstances surrounding it, that it
was not appropriate that the two
houses should adjourn until proper
response had been made. In view Of
the urgency of the matter, he deemed
it proper to say that the committee had
already entered upon the preparation Of
a bill or bills While he was not pre-
pared to say now when those bills
would be ready, he was certain that
they would not be presented to the
house before thursday.
It was important that members of
the house who had gone home under
the impression that the usual holiday
recess would be held should be present
when the report ON the ways and
means committee was made to the
house, and iJ was proper that they
should have an opportunity to return.
''On Thursday" he concluded, 1--WE
hope the house will make response to
the urgent request of the president and
take some action which will relieve the.
situation in which the country finds
itself. F" (Applause.)
