Representative Loud Obtains Some Ia
teresttno Figures ora the Subject.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-Rep-
resentative Loud of California will pre-
sent to the Committee on Ways and
Means for its con liberation in the prepa-
ration of tariff bill letter from San
Francisco broker, giving the statistics of
the importations of foreign anthracite coal
at that port. The letter, Loud says, will
cause general surprise, and in his opinion
the statement it contains warrants serious
consideration from both revenue and a
protection standpoint. From the letter it
appears that in 1886, 1926 tons were i'm
ported at San Francisco; the importations
amounted to 80, $50 tons, while Tor the first
eleven months of this year they have
amounted to 81 ,255 tons. From 1862 to
1864 the duty on anthracite coal was 60
cents q ton; from 1854 TO 1870 it was 40
cents and since then it has been on the
free list. for the reason that the quantity
of anthracite coal produced outside the
United States was, prior 10 1870. so in
6niteiy small that it was considered an
absurdity 10 retain it on the dutiable list,
but since then extensive fields of anthra-
cite have been discovered near Swansea,
Wales, from which the California i'm por-
tations come; Canada, Mexico and Ton
quin, and the low price of labor at some
of those producing sections, the letter
says, should make protection prudent
measure.

Minister 0kuma Says the
Country Seeks Perfect
Peace.
Will Endeavor to Lead Korea
and China Into the Path
of Progress.
Sixteen Lives Lost in a Foolish At
tempt to Shoot the Rapids of
the Fuji River.

TOXIC, JAPAN, Dec. Sin speech re-
Gently delivered before the Oriental Asso-
citation the Japanese Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Count Okuma, clearly outlined
his foreign policy. Briefly speaking, his
principle is that Japan should seek to de-
velop relations of perfect peace and friend
ship with Western powers; that she
should endeavor to lead China and Korea
into the path of progress, treating their
conservatism, their displays of anti
foreign feeling, and their EN- barrassments
with patience born of her own experience
in the days Immediately preceding the
present era, anu that she should devote
attention, above all things, to fostering
her foreign trade. since the ties that grow
out of mutual material interests are the
strongest bonds of International amity.
The Minister alluded in very severe
terms to the conduct of his nationals in
Korea. He said that although the foreign
ers that came to Japan in the early days
OF her opening were persons of the mid
die class at best they were, nevertheless,
incomparably superior to the Japanese in
general erudition and in the knowl-
edge that makes for prosperity, whereas
such superiority to the Koreans with
whom they were brought in contact. If,
despite this difference. the Japanese them
selves had often been guilty of rudeness
and violence toward their foreign visitors,
there was all the more excuse for occa-
sional outbursts of similar ti-Japanese
feeling on the part of the Koreans to-day.
A terrible accident recently occurred on
the Full River, stream celebrated for its
rapids, the shooting of which in specially
constructed boats is one of the delights of
tourists. Eighteen youths, OF whom six
teen were conscripts, hired boat on
October 81 to travel down the rapids and
view the splendid autumnal tints for
which the place is famous. The river was
in flood. When the boat approached the
Ya5uga Rapid, which is considered the
most dangerous, the boatmen asked the
party to land and re-embark below the
rapid. They refused, the boat was up
set. and eleven of the conscripts, their two
friends, and three boatmen were drowned.

of the whole Richardson Cd of Tennes-
see replied to some of the statements made
by Brosius, asserting that the changes In
the railway mail service under HARRISON
were unparalleled and unprecedented.
The object of this debate, be said, was
plain; it was to make way or to prepare
the country for an executive order or
proclamation to be inaugurated March
next by which clerks appointed under this
administration and supposed to be pro-
tected by the civil service law may be dis
missed and their places filled by political
antagonists.
Walker (R.) of Massachusetts, supported
the civil service law and said in his opln-
ion the most perniciods thing IN the mat
ter of appointments was Congressional In
fuence.
Powers believed in the merit system in
the public service, but was opposed to
the fraudulent civil service reform which
had been feisted upon the American peo-
pie. 1t was un-American. modelled after
the British system. tended to the estap-
lishment of classes in the country and
made office-hoiders for the office.
There was nothing but politics IN the
civil service reform of this administration.
The President had waited until informed
that every Reru lean in great depart
ments mad been displaced by a Democrat
and then issued his order putting all those
positions under the CLASSIFIED service.
In the customs service in California
there was not q single Republican left,
and not one of their successors had been
selected under examination. And vet
they formed boards to examine all appli-
cants who shall come after them. 1t was
the widest extended scheme to secure par
tisan control of offices ever known.
General debate was closed in a brief
speech by Neill CD of Arkansas against
the bill.
Settle (R.) OF North Carolina moved to
strike out the appropriation for the Civil
Service Commission. The motion was lost
despite manifestations of approval-29 10
62. OF er eff ,rts to amend the section
were futile. and the committee ordered a
favorable report of the bill as it was
drarted by the Appropriations Committee,
with the single change of the Librarians
salary from $4,000 to $4,000.
The bill was so reported and passed with
out division.
A concurrent resolution was agreed to
directing the printing of 1900 copies of
statement giving detailed information re-
garding the public service.
AT $40 o'clock the House adjourned
until January s.

Union and Central Pacific roads as "a
saturnalia OF fraud and as a Labyrinth
of fraud and rascalit.y"
The statement made to-day by the Sem
ator from South Dakota made it proper
that the Pacific railroads should be investi-
gated, and proposed to ask that the COM
mittee should sit during the vacation and
investigate the subject. He was in favor
OF having the subject disposed of, but
wanted it distinctly understood that when
1t came to be considered there would be
claim of latitude of debate com m ensurate
with the magnitude of the question. He
was in favor of the consideration of the
bill reported last session from the COM
mittee on the Pacific railroads. He was
not in favor of its passage, but was OPP
posed to it. No such petitions and remon-
strances, Morgan said had ever been put
in Congress as had come from the Pacific
Coast against the management OF the Pa
cine railroads. He hoped that the people
OF California would not be denied voice
in those proceedings and would not be
sacrificed to gorgon of monopoly.
The Union Pacific Company had in its
treasury enough money to pay the in err
est on its first mortgage bonds, ard the
Central Pacific had paid such interest up
to date and besides paid per cent divi-
dends to its British stock holders, and yet
both these com panies came to Congress as
mendicants, stating that they were bank
rupts. All this was "a false pretense."
Pettigrew's resolution was then referred
to the Committee on Appropriations.
Butler (Pop.) of North Carolina offered
resolution for a committee of three SEN
ators to inquire into the principle of legis-
lation through the initiative and referen-
dunn. Referred TO the Committee on Con-
tingent Expenses.
A re solution was offered by Call CD of
Florida, and was agreed to, asking the
President for information as to the cir
cumstances of the death in Cuba of Charles
Govine, an American citizen, said to
'have been hacked to pieces by Spanish
soldiers"
A dozen private pension bills, one of
them for the 90-year-old daughter of a
revolutionary soldier, were taken mp and
passed. Also Senate bill to pay $497 to
the legal representative of Edwin de Lon.
late Consul General to Egypt. the amount
due him on adjustment of accounts.
At 2:40 P. NJ. the Senate went into execu-
tue session. and shortly afterward ad-
lourned until Tuesday, January 5.

Major Mckinley Had Most Enjoy able
Visit IN Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 22-Major Nc
Kinley left Chicago tonight in a special
car attached TO tn regular Pennsylvania
train which departs at 1880. The train
is due in Canton at .35 Wednesday after
noon. Major Mckinley was accompanied
by his wife, Miss Sara Duncan, a neice,
and Captain Fl. o. Heistand. Before his
departure Major Mckinley said that mis-
visit to Chicago had been an enjoyable
one, ana had benefited both himself and
Mrs. Mckinley. He also remarked that
he expected few callers at Canton during
the holidays.
This afternoon Major Mckinley drove
with his wife and Captain and
Mrs. Macwilliams to one of the
great stores. A number of the
party went into the building to make
a purchase. and in less than three min
utes employees and customers came stream
ing forth to see the President-elect. The
street was speedily blockaded, and it was
a quarter OF an hour before traffic was
resumed.
Owing to the fact that it was announced
that Major Mckinley had left the city
last evening, aside from the incident just
mentioned, ne found this the most restful
day of his visit to Chicago.

Elevator Compamies HaUs No Right to
Speculate In Grain.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 22.-The bill for
an injunction brought against the Gen.
trail Elevator Company by Attorney
General Moloney to restrain the company
from dealing in grain was decided this
morning by Judge Tuley against the ele-
vator people. The court holds that by
dealing in grain or mixing its own hold
ings of grain with that stored with it in
its capacity as an elevator company the
Central Company exceeded the legal scope
of it's authority, license or charter. This
is practically test case and is part of the
fight being waged on elevator companies
by the Board of Trade, although the latter
is not a party to the case SO far as is shown
bv the court records. The decision is
against the elevators and sustains the CON-
tention that they are warehousemen only.

was considered in all its aspects and it
was finally agreed that as the references
to Cuba in the message affected the Cortes
they must be read before that body. The

LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. Ex-Governor
Holcomb was unable to be present at the
Cuban mass-meeting held tonight, but
sent an extended letter expressing SYM
pathy with the movement and his hearty
approval OF the agitation in Congress and
elsewhere looking to the relief from Span
ish oppression of the inhabitants of the
island. The meeting was largely attended
and intense earnestness was manifested.
At the close of a number of speeches, the
most extended of which was delivered by
Captain L. w. Bilingsley, a Federal off,
cial, resolutions were adopted which de-
clare in effect that the liberation of pillage,
devastation and butchery perpetrated by
the Spanish army against innocent nom
com batants, under the guise of warfare,
almost within view of the shores OF a
great republic, without efforts TO termi-
nate the same, is matter OF deepest hu-
initiation to people who love liberty and
Justice.
The alleged assassination of General
Maceo is declared q crime on level with
those of savages beyond the pale of civiIi-
cation, and the conservative and repres-
sive policy which permits an oppressor TO
equip his armies on our shores and denies
that right to the oppressed is to be con-
demned."
In conclusion the resolutions urge Ne
braska representatives. in Congress to use
their influence and votes for the according
of belligerent rights to the Cubans.

Tactics of the Rebels to Tire Out tn

spanish troops.
NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. pa specia!
cable dispatch to the Herald from Manila,
via Honskong, says: l have just returned
from the scene of operations. The affair
at Mayeauayun was trivial, the rebels,
numbering 1000, scarcely firing. That
very few prisoners were taken goes to
show that they were wretchedly armed.
No pursuit was made. and, except few
who were killed by shells, all escaped east
ward TO the hills.
The Spanish troops behaved well, but
the action was really no test The rebels
tactics are 10 tire the Spanish troops by
constant alarms, retreating from a supe-
rior force and refusing an engagement on
equal terms. The affair at Maycauayun
was intended to divert attention from
Cavite.
General Polavieja has already cleared
the Bulacan villages that were occupied
by the rebels. Among the prisoners
awaiting trial there are native priests, one
the chaplain OF a bishop. whose throat was
to be cut while asleep.
