Judge kimbnn Sends Dorsey swan
Down for Ten Months.
William Dorsey Swan, the colored man at
whose house, No. 1904 l. street northwest.
a drag was raided about two weeks ago,
and who was convicted in the Police Court
last week of charge of keeping a disor-
derly house, was sentenced to ten months
in Jail by Judge Miller today. This Is the
case in which number Of men. white and
colored, were found in this place, wnlcn
Judge Miller characterized as a nell OF
iniquity." There were several ccioreo men
and one white man reported to be OF the
character OF Swan, and during the trial OF
the case in court there appeared young men
of respectable parentage who told of how
they had visited this place, danced and in
dulged in strong drink of all KINDS, from
beer to champagne.
A large stock of liquors found on the
premises was in court as evidence, but
Dorsey said that he didn't have to buy the
liquor.
In disposing of the case Judge Miller
told of the fearful revelations made at the
trial. the downfall and ruin of young men.
and said he only wished he had power to
inip Sc e ten years sentence.
81 would like to send you where you
would never again see mans face, said
the Judge, land would then like to rid the
city of all other disreputable persons of the
same kind. Thieving and petty assaults
amount to nothing as compared with the
cor duct of these people,"
Mr.. Mullowny, for the prosecution. asked
for a years sentence, but this the cour,
did not impose, but gave him ten months.

Ability, coupled with wer-directed enter
prise, may always be depended on to
achieve substantial success. and an excel
lent Illustration Of the truth of saiis obser-
Walton may be seen in the case of Mr.. G.
w. Simpson. Several years ago he opened
small tailor's establishment at 9th and G
streets, with small stock of goods, but
plenty of pluck and faith in advertising. In
three years he was compelled to enlarge his
building, and in 1892 his business had so
increased that he moved to still more COM
modious quarters, at 18th and F streets
northwest. Mr.. Simpsons business meth DDS
continued to be attended here by pros
perlty, and he has now made another pro-
greSsfve movement by leasing the entire
building at 18th and F and remodeling It.
and now has one of the largest and best
equipped tailoring establishments in the
south. The first and second floors are de-
Hot ed to sales rooms, offices and fitting
parlors, while large force of skilled tailors
occupy the upper two floors and are kent
busy making garments for the well-dressed
men of Washington. Mr.. Simpson says he
attributes much Of his success to iudicious
advertising, in the best newspapers. and by
catering to those attracted by his an
nouncements precisely in accordance with
his representations.

THE HOUSE TARIFF BILL.
Chances of It's Passing the Senate
Greatly Improved.

Developments since Saturday have cleared
up the situation with relation to the tariff
bill in the Senate. The prospects Of this
measure have very greatly improved. A
careful consideration Of the matter has led
a number of silver men to the conclusion
that their best interests will be served by
voting for the bill on the final vote, whether
or not the free silver amendment is adopted.
The chances are that, after voting for the
free coinage amendment all the free silver
republicans will vote for the bill in what
ever shape 1t comes to the final vote. There
is still some doubt about the requisite votes
being got in the committee to secure the
favorable report Of the bill, but If it is re-
ported, the course formally decided upon by
the silver men will almost certainly result
in it's passage by the Senate.
An Exception in This Case.
This decision on the part of the silver re-
publicans does not affect the policy of the
silver republicans toward general tariff leg
islation. but they make an exception in ia
vor of this bill because it is not expected to
become law, and as republicans they are
willing that the President should be con-
frOnted with the republican proposition thai
the condition of the treasury today is due
to shortage in the revenue Eight repub-
leans are expected to vote for the free COIN
age amendment to the tariff bill. This is
not expected to be enough to adopt the
amendment. and these eight votes are to be
cast in favor Of the bill, whether amended
or not.
In the committee of finance the situation
is changed only to this extent, that instead
of having majority of one againstsreport-
ing the bill, the vote will be tie. and ar
rangements may be made by which the bill
will be reported.
Silver Republican, Plan.
If reported it will not be defeated by the
| votes of the silver republicans. The reason
for this is that the silver republicans agree
| with the rest of the party that there should
be more revenue, and they want to fix the
responsibility on the President If he Is de-
termined to veto bill which gives more
revenue
