THE DEFICIENCY BILL.
Item for Federal Court Expenses Strong

Item for Federal Court Expenses Strong
ly Criticized by Senators.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-It was ex-
pected that the tariff bill would come
up in the senate during the day, Mr..
Morrill,, chairman of the finance conf
mittee, having given notice of a mo-
ton to that effect. But the subject
was not mentioned during the day and
the entire session was given to routine
business. Considerable progress was
made on the deficiency bill and the
item of federal court expenses brought
out strong criticisms from Mr.. Chan
dler, Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Vest against
the fee system.
A resolution introduced by Mr..
PETER calls for an investigation of re-
cent bond sales and all dealings with
syndicates and individuals. The reso-
luton is so comprehensive as to cover
every possible phase of negotiation i'll
the bond issues of the last three years.

eral Weeks at Least.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The friends
OF the tariff bill in the senate have
found it expedient to change their plans
somewhat and, instead of taking up the
tariff bill Immediately, will postpone
its consideration until after all the ap-
preparation bills which have been re.
ported from committee shall be dis.
posed Of. 1t is believed that these
measures will monopolize the greater
part OF the time of the senate for the
next week. Other questions will inter-
vene, 80 that it now looks as if the de-
bate on the tariff or the silver substi.
tute would be deferred until the week
after next at the earliest. A prominent
Republican member of the committee
on finance expressed the opinion that
the silver substitute would be defeated
by at least 15 majority. With this dis
posed of he thinks the tariff bill will
pass with full Republican vote, aided
by the votes of at least three of the
Populist senators.

Noted Ohioan Enthusiastically
Welcomed by Chicago
Republicans.
Was Guest of Honor at Annual
Banquet Of the Mar

Republicans of Many Cities Do
Homage to the Memory
of Lincoln.

CHICAGO, Feb. l3-When William
Mckinley arose to speak at the ban
quet in the Auditorium given by the
Marquette club in CONNIE memoration of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln, 1900
men cheered the Ohioan with the We
hemence of enthusiastic admiration.
They got up ON chairs and the air was
filled with the futter of handkerchiefs
and vibrating with the tumult of voices
Men cheered until they We're exhausted
with the effort and rested and cheered
again. 1t was the tenth annual BAN
quet given by that club, and it was in
tended that there would be 200 guests.
More than that.number by 300 came
and an overflow banquet was necessary.
The guest of honor was Mr.. Mckinley.
He spoke to the toast, Abraham Lin

Other Notables Present.
The occasion was particularly notable
as the first public appearance of Ohio's
famous son in another state since his
return from the gcvernorship to the
position of private citizen. Among
those at the speakers table besides Mr..
Mckinley were the Republican gov
ernors of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
and the Republican senators from Ne
braska, North Carolina and Maryland.
At every reference to the name of Nc
Kinley or the word protection" out
bursts of cheering followed The ad-
dress of the ex-governor was charac-
teristically magnificent piece of ora
tory He outlined what he believed
would be the policy of the Republican
party during the next campaign and
said
Protection Would BE tho Main Issue.
In conclusion he said:
mo one need be in any doubt about
what the Republican party stands for.
Its own history makes that too palpa-
BILE and clear to admit of doubt. 1t
stands for reunited and recreated
nation, based upon free and honest
elections in every township, county,
city, district and state in this great
American Union. 1t stands for the
American fireside and the flag of the
nation. 1t stands for the American
farm, the American factory and che
prosperity of all the American people

SIR WILLIAM HARCoURT.

zuela, as it holds out the hope that the
question could he settled at an early
date. He added that no words that
could impede such settlement would
fall from him. This remark was
Greeted with Loud Cheers,
as it disposes of the report that the Lib
eral leaders had determined to make an
attack upon the governments policy in
regard to Venezuela, which course
necessarily would have led to an ex-
change of warm remarks which might
have impeded the progress of settle
ment of the dispute.
Continuing, Sir William Vernon Har-
court said: II am in entire agreement
ment with LORD Salisbury when he
says the United States has perfect
right to interpose in any controversy by
which their own interests are affected.
and they are entitled to judge whether
their interests are affected and in what
measure they shall be sustained. That
is general doctrine upon which all
states act. Upon this is founded the
balance of power, and upon that
ground Great Britain interposed in
Belgium, Greece, Turkey and many
other places.
The Monroe Doctrine Not Disputed.
'"The Monroe doctrine is not an ex.
tension of this principle; it is limita-
ton Of what other states claim to exer-
else everywhere. That feeling is not
disputed in the queens speech, and I
rejoice to see it states a wish to co-op-
crate with the government of the
United States. The United States
have not made any pronouncement
upon this question, but have appointed
commission to inform their judg-
ments upon the subject. 1t has been
stated that the appointment Of this
commission was an offense to the peo-
pie and government of Great Britain.
Happily, the government does not take
that view."
Will Aid the Commission.
Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord Of the
treasury and Conservative leader in the
house, was loudly cheered when he
arose to reply to the Liberal leader He
said:
THE American commissioners have
applied to us to aid them with any in
formation we have on the Venezuelan
question and we have promised to give
them all the information we are able to
give at the earliest possible moment
No false pride or diplomatic punctilio
will be allowed to stand in the way Of
O settlement as far as we are concerned

should spring some general system Of
arbitration.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 2s.--The advertised
unanimity of the silver forces did not
materialize at the meeting of the leaders
in general conference at the Sherman
house yesterday This meeting was
called for the purpose of hearing the re-
port of the committee appointed to con-
slider the best means of preparing the
work OF free silver throughout the coun-
try. The report of the committee Wats
heard and adopted by a majority of the
meeting, but not without an indignan.
protest from lively minority that gave
every promise of making trouble.
The meeting was called to order by
General c. H. Howard, who explained
the difficulty of combining the diverse
elements in favor of free silver on poli-
ticel lines without first organizing a cam
paign of education. He then called for
the report OF the committee, which was
read, TO be adopted section by section.
by Z. Q. Towne. its framer The frs.
section was adopted. and, to facilita te

AMERICAN COMMON SENSE
or Which Judge IIornbiower Possesses
His share.

New York, Nov. 26.-The 18th anniver-
sary Of the evacuation of New York by
the British was celebrated by the New
York State Society Sons of the Revolt
tion at Deimon.cos last night. The prin-
opal speaker was William B. Horn
blower, who responded to the toast
american Common Sense"
He said in part:
What Of the future? Suggestions are
made that old party lines must be aban-
doned and that all men who are in favor
of sound currency and of honest enforce
ment Of public and private obligations.
and of the maintenance Of law and order
should combine in one party against the
clements Of 6iscontent, disorder and dis
honesty. Such a result would be most
unfortunate. If the day shall ever come
when all sober-IniRded men are on one
side and all extremists and revolutionsitS
on the other side, lined up in party align
ment, the knell of Republican instltu-
tons will be sounded. Our form of gov
eminent cannot continue unless there are
two great parties who are divided upon
questions on which men of sound judg-
ment and honest principles can fairly
differ. l believe party lines will be re-
formed, based on the same general lines
of division that heretofore separated the
two great parties, and believe that thus,
and only thus, can our institutions be
preserved
