NEW YORK, November 21-Helmas Ro-
maine Of Paterson, N. j., whose estate is
estimated to amount to about 100000 in
value, committed suicide on his farm in
Rochelle Park, Bergen county, n. j., today
by shooting himself. Mr.. Romano was
identified with many local enterprises. He
was formerly president Of the Paterson
Railroad Company. Three months ago Mr.
Romaine's mother died. This had de-
pressing effect on him, and he continually
complained of being i'll. When he left
home yesterday for the farm he said he
was not feeling we'll.
PHILADELPHIA, November 21.-Pen-
nington Higgins, a brother of ex-senator
Higgins of Delaware and a newspaper man
of wide experience and more than ordinary
ability. committed suicide last night by in
haling gas. His body was found this morn
ing in his room at the boarding house 400
South 8th street. He Is believed to have
bee ONE Respondent, although just previous
to retiring last night he seemed in his
usual good humor. From the circumstances
surrounding the case it is evident that his
suicide was deliberately planned. He had
pulled his bed into the middle of the room,
and, after turning on the gas from the
side bracket on the wall, he attached a
rubber tube to the chandelier overhead,
end, placing the other end in his mouth,
lay on the pea. higgins last pace OF en-
pioyment was on the Press in this city.
During the days prior to the republican
convention at ST. Louis Higgins was sta
toned at Major McKinley's home and rem
dered most efficient service to his paper.
He left the Press about three weeks ago.
In his time Mr.. Higgins had been connect
ed with various papers in different parts of
the country and had very wide acquaint-
ance among public men. He was born IN
Delaware and was unmarried. He was
about fifty years Of age.

What Representative Richardson
Says of the subcommittee.

Representative Richardson of Tennessee
the only democratic member Of the House
committee on the District Of Columbia re-
elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress, is In the
city and is located at his old home. 11O4 9th
street northwest. In the next Congress
Mr.. Richardson will be at the head of the
democratic side Of the committee and
stands in position that would entitle him
to the Craftsmanship should the House be-
come democratic during his congressional
career. In speaking to a Star reporter
today on the District legislation to be TAX
en- up in December, Mr.. Richardson said he
could not see a great deal that could be
done.
Il subcommittee" he remarked
''of which Mr.. Babcock is chairman, which
has in charge The matter of subways for
electric wires. l expect this subcommittee
Will meet before long to formulate some
plan for placing the electric wires under
ground"
Mr.. Richardson said he had noticed the
matter Of railroad crossings was interest
ing the people here. but he thought the
Commissioners would have to be heard
from before that question could be taken
up by Congress.
In regard to tariff legislation, he did not
see much prospect for the passage of the
pingley bill. as he presumed that the sill
YER men in the Senate would regard it in
the same light they looked upon it at the
last session OF Congress.

PORTFOLIO FOR EVANS
The Tennesseean Said to Be Slated for the
Cabinet. ,,=-..-
He May BE Appointed Postmaster
General-His Services In the
Campaign.

1t Is the general impression in political
circles that Mr.. H. Clay Evans of Tennes-
see will be rendered portfolio in Major
Mckinley's cabinet This opinion is based
mainly upon the fact that Mr.. Evans is
the most prominent republican in southern
politics, and that he Is a man of marked
ability as well as being a warm admirer
and stanch supporter of Major Mckinley
In view of his past experience in an admin
lstrat1ve capacity. as assistant postmaster
general under President Harrison, it is
assumed that if he goes into the cabinet
II Will be as Postmaster General.
AS long ago as last June and when the
republican national convention was in ses-
sion Mr.. Evans name was used in this
connection. The part which he had taken
IN the ante-copvention campaign made him
a prominent factor in the proceedings of
the assembly, and he was put in nomina-
ton for Vice President, receiving 29Ols
votes. At that time it was conceded by the
politicians that Mr.. Evans would stand
high in the list of names from which Ma
1or Mckinley's cabinet would be chosen
Mr. Evans first came into prominence in
national politics when he was elected to
the Fifty-first Congress. He was soon
recognized as clear and forcible deba ter
and bore a conspicuous part in the excit-
ing deliberations of that Congress. After
pcihS uclCdt0u loi IS-eieCtiol Evans
devoted himself to state politics, suspend
ing his efforts i'll this direction, however,
for while to take position in the clos
ing days of General Harrison's admins
tration as assistant postmaster general.
Upon the incoming of the Cleveland ad-
mln1stration Mr.. Evans returned to Ten
ressee and was nominated by the repup-
licans for governor. He carried the state
but was counted out by the legislature.
This act was disapproved by conservative
democrats throughout the state and caused
a storm of Indignation among the repub-
leans Many democrats declared they
would thereafter support MIR. Evans when
ever he came before the people on &C.
count of the wrong which their party had
inflicted upon him.
During the past campaign Mr.. Evans has
rendered service to his party, not only in
his own state, but in other sections as
well. In Indiana his services were regard
ed as especially valuable by the republic
cans. He is a forcible campaign orator
well-poSted upon all public questions, quick
at repartee and man of very magnetic
presence.
He is well known among republicans
throughout the United States as well as
in the southern country. When the Ma
tional League of Republican Clubs held its
convention in Cleveland Two years ago
Mr.. Evans attended and delivered a speech
to the assembled multitude in the great
arcade. which attracted general attention
throughout the country, and aroused the
utmost enthusiasm among his hearers
At that time he predicted Major Mckin-
ley's nomination and election upon the lines
on which the great fight was subsequently
fought and won.

DISCUSSING THE TEXAS,
Conference at the Navy Department
Over the battle Ship.

Conference Mt the NAVY Department
Over the battle Ship.
The unfortunate battle ship Texas, now
in dry dock at New York, was the sub
ject Of a confere1 ce at the Navy Depart
ment this morning, in which the partici-
pants were Secretary Herbert, Assistant
Secretary McAdoo, Chief Constructor HIGH
born, Engineer-in-chief Melville and Capt
Glass, the commander of the vessel The
last named officer came over from New
York specially to attend the conference.
The vessel is now undergoing repairs, and
it Is said that Admiral Bunce, command
ing the MOI tn Atlantic squadron, desires to
have the work expedited in order that the
Texas may be ready to take part in the
proposed evolutions of his fleet There are
a large number of minor repairs to be made
in order to put the ship in perfect con-
dition for sea- 1t is said for one thing
that her hydraulic gear is In need of at
tention. Todays conference, 1t Is under
stood, was merely for the purpose of adj
justing certain minor differences between
the admiral and the officers In charge OF
the repairs, the most important Of which
is the length of time required for the work.
1t is said that the admiral feels that the
work ought to he accomplished in much
less time than has been allowed by the
construction department, about five weeks,
as otherwise the ship will not be ready for
the proposed cruise of the fleet for drill
and exercise The result of the confer
ence is not known, but it is understood that
an effort will be made to comply with the
given to push the work Of repairs as much
as possible The latest estimate Is that 1t
will require at least two weeks time to
prepare the vessel for active service.

THE b. AND O.'S CONDITION.
Nothing Sensational In the Report o
Expert Little.


Expert Little.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 21.-Presi-
dent and Co-Receiver John X. Cowen of
the Baltimore and Ohio railway said today
that the report of Expert Examiner Little
is now in the hands Of the printer. and that
copies of it would be distributed among the
stockholders within week. 1t is learned
from other sources that the report was read
at the recent meeting Of the stockholders,
for the benefit Of those who desired to learn
something of its contents.
Agent Leman, who was present at this
meeting, has said that there is nothing of a
sensational character IN the report, and
that no charge. save possibly that of mis-
management, Is made against the Mayer
administration. The method Of keeping the
books however, is criticised, and the report
Is said to show that for more than five
years past unearDed dividends have been
paid with money borrowed for the purpose
and upon collateral belonging to the COM
pany; that the books have been kept in
such manner as to indicate a more favor
able financial condition; than actually ex-
listed, and that other Irregularities of a
minor nature were discovered The most
important feature Of: the report, however,
Is said to be that 1t reveals the fact that
even under the conditions which then ex-
listed the system was fully able to pay its
interest and other fxed charges out of its
earnings, and that If The dividends had not
been paid as stated, the road would have
been self-supportipg, and the necessity for
receivership would have tbeen avoided.
AS soon as the report is made public, a
committee will be held, atwhich it will he
determined whether further examinat ton
OF the books will be made under the au-
spices of that committee.

LOOKING FOR REVENUE
Mr.. Cleveland's Plan to Defeat Tariff Legis-
latien.
Internal Taxes May BE Imposed or In
creased-Republicans Said to
BE Not Alarmed.

1t is expected that determined effort will
be made by the administration to secure
emergency revenue legislation at this ses-
sion, which, 1t will be hoped, may inter-
fere with the enactment of protective
tariff law by the next Congress. All sorts
of propositions to raise revenue from in
ternal sources will be made with the hope
that some one of them will develop
strength enough to secure adoption as an
immediate expedient. Much faith is
placed by those who would circumvent
tariff legislation in the popularity Of the
proposition to put q tax of dollar more
per barrel on beer and to provide for a
stamp tax on proprietary medicines. The
plea to be made in favor Of these PROPOSE
lions will be that it is necessary for more
revenue to be raised at once, and that
tariff legislation not being practicable at
this time, these "unobjectionable" internal
revenues should be reSorted to to tide the
treasury over until tariff legislation can be
had under the new administration. 1t
will be significantly suggested to republ-
can managers that IL something of this
sort is not done Major Mckinley will be
confronted on his entrance into office with
a shortness of revenue which cannot be
made up by legislation in time to save
him from the necessity of bond issue.
1t is fancied that the dread of being re-
duced to the necessity of duplicating Mr..
Clevelands bond policy might drive the
republicans TO the acceptance Of the pro-
posed internal revenue tax.
TO strengthen the argument 1t Is pointed
out that the republicans cannot hope 20
put a new tariff act in operation inside of
a year after Mr.. Mckinley assumes office.
1t Is not likely that the republican man
ayers will be Influenced by this sort Of
argument. The shrewdest of them think
they see too plainly the motive behind 1t,
which Is construed to be to make 1T more
difficult to pass a tariff bill. 1t is realized
that Mr. Cleveland's only hope for the flu
ture uniting of the divided democracy is by
means of the tariff, and that therefore he
will not yield to the least degree In his OPP
position tc protection. but wants to have ii
proven, before tariff bin can have been
passed, that sufficient revenue may be
raised without resortfng to higher tariff
duties.
AS republicans see 1t. there is no danger
of Mr.. Mckinley's being forced to a bond
issue. They do not anticipate any such de-
lay in the adoption Of 2 tariff bill as the
free traders predict. An extra session is
likely to be called to meet before the first
preparing a bill will have been done in ad-
vance. and it is believed that it will be ell
tirely practicable to get the measure
through both houses Of Congress and have
it in the hands Of the President within
three months after the meeting of Con-
gress In special session 1t is likely that
they will be facilitated In this by the fact
that the silver leaders, who alone might be
counted on to obstfpct, are disposed 20
make nothing more than formal re-
SiStaEce. -rz<
