A TARIFF BILL.
Ways and Means Committee VIII at
Once Prepare One.

Ways and Means Committee VIII at
Once Prepare One.
Washington, Dec. 1O-The committee
on ways and means will go to work at
once TO prepare a tariff bill. Tbs
was the conclusion reached by the Re
publican members Of the committee at
a conference held tonight in the rooms
of Representative Grosvenor. The
conclusion reached was the unanimous
expression of the members present. In
the preparation of the bill the COM
mittee will give hearings to all persons
who are interested, and they will be
conducted by the full committee. The
first meeting of The committee will be
held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, at
which time, if all the Democratic
members are present, the details of
the hearings, the time which they shall
begin, etc, Will be agreed upon In
case Judge Turner of Georgia. the
ranking member of the minority of the
committee should be unable to be pres
ent on Saturday, the meeting of the
fun committee will be postponed until
such zine as he can attend. SO far
as the mem bers Of the committee
know, no person has yet beens selected
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the death
of eX-Speaker Crisp, and the Republic
an members of the committee stated
tonight that they had heard no names
mentioned in connection with the APP
pointment, except that of Mr.. Francis
3. Newlands of Nevada.
This determination of the Republican
members, of course, presupposes the
calling of an extra session of congress
shortly after the Inauguration of Pres
ident-elect Mckinley, but after the
adjournment of the conference they all
disclaimed any direct knowledge on
the subject.

Guided six saddles and a set of double
harness. He found them in cache on
State street, but was not so successful
in locating the thieves. The property
he brought to the city Jail, where the
owners called and identified it.
The set of double harness and an
English riding saddle were identified
as the property of C. B. burst, the
grocer. Bailey & Sons proved the
ownership of two double-cinch cowboy
saddles. The son of r. K Thomas
identified two more of the same kind of
saddles, and a member of the state
militia named Taylor identified an
army saddle as belonging to the troop

there are no funds available for the
purpose.

The navy department is reported to
have on hand about 500 guns of various
sizes which it is ready to donate to

are old-style weapons and would be
chiefly useful for ornamental pur-.
poses.

this evening. There We're about IS or
20 leaders from various parts of the
state present. and aside from those
present. about 25 other prominent
leaders Of the state wrote letters urg-
ing that the organization b. kept up,
but the most interesting event of the
meeting was a letter from Senator J .
X. Jones. chairman of the late ma
tional committee, and only q portion of
it was read as follows:
1 have received yours informing me
OF the meeting of the Indiana BIZ
metallic league this week, with great
pleasure. 1t seems that the feeling
throughout the nation is unanimously
in favor of continuing the fight for
bimetallism. l agree with you. that
1T must now be a campaign of educa-
ton. To do this we must have a
thorough, complete and compact
organization, and go forward quietly
without noise and without buster.
Mr.. Clark had prepared an address,
in which he declared that 1.-The fight
for free coinage and the emancipation
OF the people from the money power
was only begun.
1t was decided to hold a mass con-
vention of Indiana Democrats in this
city on Jan. S. The committee deter
mined to o9en headquarters here and

took the floor and spoke on the CUBAN

Mr.. Gibson Dem.), Maryland. ia
vored the postponement of the con-
sheraton of the bill until after the

Mr.. Lodge (Rep.), Massachusetts, IN
charge of the bill, opposed any post

Mr.. Gibson made the formal motion
that the bill be postponed until the

so as to make it exclude all persons

Mr. Vest CDem), Missouri, protested
against the application of the test or
iliiteracy TO women and girls. He as
sumed that really at the bottom of the
whole question was the restriction OF
Immigrant votes. He did not see how
the workmanship or labor of man
who could not read or write deharred
the labor or workmanship OF anybody
else But the argument against litter
ate immigration could not apply TO do
mestic servants.
Mr.. Lodge replied to Mr. Vests COM
nents. and said the amendment offered
by the senator from Missouri should
not be adopted, as it would take away
from the force and scope OF the bill,
now none too great.
Mr. Chandler (Rep), New Hamp-
shire also opposed Mr. Vests amend
nnent. He reminded the senate that the
national conventions of both political
parties had declared in favor of the
restriction of immigration. If he was
wrong in that statement no one was
more competent to correct him than the
present occupant Of the chair-Mr. Hiln

Chiffon must be re-pleated and

be protected against moths and mice

The hat itself should be brushed or
wiped free from dust and rubbed with
a cloth dampened in alcohol. Be care
full never TO use the alcohol near a
fire.
All aigrettes, quilts or feathers
should be wiped free from dust and
wrapped by themselves. 1t is best to
leave ribbon bows tied, unless the rib
bon is mussed. If fresh it can be used
to the best advantage as already
looped; but if the bows are mussed,
unite, brush, press and roll up the
ribbon. If left in bows, stuff each loop

in the territories to American citizens,

Mr.. Hepburn (Rep), Iowa, good
humorecly called attention to the fact
tha. the Populist party had for several
years inserted in their platforms a
declaration that alien land ownership
was the most dangerous menace
threatening the peace and prosperity
of the country, and yet the gentleman
from Colorado (Nr. BelD, sat there
and was silent while the bill was under
consideration, which, he would under

Mr.. Catron (Rep), New Mexico, re-
piled that the gentleman was mis-
taken. Every parry in New Mexico, Re
publicsns with the others, had endorsed
and approved the bill under discussion.
1T was intended to secure to the terri
tories the benefits of foreign capital,
which under the present condition
could not be procured. The bill did
not change the law regarding alien

TWO TOTS GO ASTRAY.

Two little tots, the children of a
Mr.. Busby, who lives at 81 Franklin
avenue, got lost yesterday afternoon
and had q nice long walk before they
were found. In the meantime anxious
parents spent a very uneasy after
noon
The children, girl aged and a boy
of 8, are sent TO the free kindergarten
in the old St. Marks school building
! opposite the police station. When they
were dismissed yesterday afternoon
they took the wrong road home, and
as consequence did not reach there
at the accustomed time. The parents
became alarmed and reported the case
to the police, and a watch was kept
for the tots by the officers, but nothing
was heard from them till dinner time
arrived.
AT that time DR.. J. Milliron, who
runs the drug store at the corner of
Seventh East and Seventh South
streets, teleDhoned in that two little
children had been picked UP on the
walk nearby, very much tired out and
unable to tell where they lived. The
police knew, however. and they were
soon in the arms of their by this time
very badly frightened parents
SMASHED THE JAIL WINDOWS.
A colored woman, said to be the wife
OF one OF the soldiers at Fort Douglas
who gave the name of Annie Franklin,
slept in rather chilly quarters last
night, and all because of her own bad
temper.
She got drunk early in the evening
and proceeded to smash the furniture
at the house where she lives, at Thir-
teenth East and Third South streets
The police were called in and she was
taken to the city jail. Her Indignation
knew no bounds when she was turned
loose in the womans ward, and she
started in to demolish the Jail She
seized a water bucket by the bail and
knocked out the windows of one cell
after another, as fast as she could get
to them.
The police did all they could to keep
her quiet, but as the only thing that
would have had any effect on her
would have been a set of stocks, in
which she could not have moved, they
locked her up in one of the cells where
she had done all the damage she could,
and allowed her to remain there to
cool off under the gentle influence of
the night breeZeS.
