"a MODERATE MEASURE"
The New TarifY BIZ Which 1t Is Proposed
to Trame this Winter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA moderate
measure is the Characterization which
leading republicans of the house give
TO the new tariff bill which it is pro-
posed to frame this winter in antici-
patton of an extra session of congress.
Ii is explained that what is desired is
a bill which will provide a sufficient
revenue to cover the deficit now cx-
listing, furnishing proper protection to
home industries, and also that condi-
tions have considera bly, changed since
what is known as the Mckinley bill
became law, and that rates Of duty
that were justified then are unneces-
sary at present
The sugar schedule promises to
cause more embarrassment than any
other in the bill. The agricultural
schedule will probably be fixed at the
former rate of duty, while the wooden
schedule, it is said, will receive suf'
fcicnt protection to satisfy the manu-.
facturers. The cotton and steel and
iron schedules are not likely to be
changed.
The bill, it Is said, will contain {
provision that goods in bond will
when taken out, pay the rate Of duty
in force and not the lower rate under
which they were originally brought
TO this country An arrangement
will be made whereby dates Will be
assigned to certain interests 20 b
heard so that there may be some sys
temst tic method of giving the hearing
without embarrassment. The dat
upon which the hearings will begin
will be made public when the full
committee meets,

Counsel in the case of Harry G. Ac-
ton, chief of police, charged by the Law
and Order Society people of Brooklyn,
with having received money from the
county upon fraudulent charges, &c,
closed their argument yesterday and the
case now rests with the county commits,
sioners who will render their decision. it
is said, on Tuesday next. The principal
charges against Mr.. Acton are for re-
ceiving pay for service which the Law
and Order people claim should have been
included III bis duties as a policeman
They also objected to his charges for
transferring prisoners and the purchase
of coal. Mr.. CAN'T said he considered
the charges made by Mr.. Acton were
legitimate, and Mr.. Moss, who is the
counsellor to the board, testified that
Acton had been very prompt in the dis.
charge of his duties. The Law and Or
der people are not sanguine as to the re-
moval of MI. Acton, though they claim 9
strong case has been made against him
1t is said, however, they will not let VI
on the officer, but may bring the case be
fore the court if unsuccessful before tbt
commissioners. Mr.. Acton, on the
other hand, claims he has been vindicat
ed and that the testimony has not beer

EXPENSIVE PENS.

Members of the House of Delegate Want
cd Fountain Pens.
Considerable commotion was caused
in the House by the introduction of an
order yesterday afternoon to authorize
the State Librarian to furnish each Dele
gate with a Waterman fountain pen.-
The members were charged with receiv-
ing the pens from the manufacturer,
who claimed they were to vote for the
passage of the order. An unfortunate
scene occurred, when the Speaker reflis-
ed to recognize Delegate Smith, of Cecil
county. The delegate denounced the ac-
tion of the chair in scathing manner.
Speaker Mudd ordered him to take his
seat, and upon refusing the seargantat-
arms was directed to seat him. Delegate
Smith all the while stood staring at the
Speaker, and said it would takea strong
Ell man to force him TO his seat. He
finally sat down. The scene caused the
greatest confusion. Members were
charged with receiving penknives from
stationery dealers of Baltimore, and
pens, etc.. which had been given them
for the sole purpose to influence them
in passing certain bills and orders. The
order was finally defeated by vote of
26 to AZ.

Officials at the Navy Department,

and that no adequate appropriation will
be granted for the renovation of the in
stitution, as recommended by the COM
mission of naval officers. approved by
the Secretary aud recognized as import

House naval committee.
The academy will require large
expenditure TO put it in u habitable con-
ditiOn for the three hundred or more
cadets annually educated there, bat Con-
gress, it is believed, is inclined to give
only a meagre sum at this session. If [,
however, the Secretary can secure an
approval of the geaeral plan for the COM

with an appropriation of two or three
hundred thousand dollars this session TO

succeeding Congresses will appreciate
the Importance OF providing necessary
accommodations for the proper instruc-
tion of the future officers of the navy.
