FIRST HEARING ON TARIFF
Heard by the Congressional Committee
to Consider Leading Conditions.

Heard by the Congressional Committee
to Consider Leading Conditions.
Washington, Dec. 28.-The first of the
twelve public hearings to be given on the
revision of the tariff was begun in the
committee of ways and means in the
house of representatives this morning
Chairman Dingley presided and there
was pretty full attendance, though as
Mr. Dingley has requested that the COM
munications should be in writing as far
as possible 1t is anticipated that the So
called hearings" will be in large part
readings" Nevertheless, there We're a
number of leading chemical manufacture
ers present, the first day being devoted
to schedule A, chemicals, oils and paints,
and schedule H, spirits, wines and 9TH
er beverages. The first schedule only
was discussed this morning. Among
those present were Alex II. Jones, of the
firm of Powers & Wakeman; M. G. Ros-
engarten, John Lucas and Thomas S.
Harrison, all of Philadelphia; James
Hartford, chairman of the drug section
of the New York Board of trade; M. S.
Page, of New York, and Edward D.. Ar
mold, of Providence, r. l.; Nicholas Len
mig and William Bower, of Philadelphia
and other manufacturers from Chicago,
Cincinnati and other large cities
Their general views favored the
restoration of specific duties. Under the
ad valorem system of the Wilson bill they
said honest men could not compete with
dishonest men, and 1t was impossible to
prevent differentiation. The chemists
brought with them a prepared schedule
at specific rates which they sumbitted to
the committee.
A delegation representing the Cotton
Yarn Spinning association of New Eng
land. reached the city last night. Among
them were A. b. Sanford and r. C. Kerr,
of Fall River, and w. d. Howland, of
New Bedford, Massachusetts. They are
to be given a hearing tomorrow when
schedule /, cotton manufacturers, comes
up. There has been less hostility to the
cotton schedule than to any other feat
ures Of the Wilson bill. In fact it was
described by a republican senator in
course of debate as a work of genius, -
having been prepared after consultation
with experts in cotton manufacture. 1t
. is possible desire may be expressed to
leave schedule substantially unchanged.
but no definite opinion has yet been ex-
pressed to that effect by the gentlemen
who are here.

PAYING TELLER BOSCH,
OF the Suspended Bank of Minnesota,
Mysteriously Disappears

OF the Suspended Bank of Minnesota,
Myste1ously Disappears.
Chicago. Dec. PA special from st.
Paul, Mimi, says: Leander Bosch, pay
ing teller of the suspended Bank of Min
nesota. has disappeared. He was last
seen few hours after the banks sus-
pension last Tuesday. Mr.. Bosch pre-
pared Thursday to place his accounts in
the hands of the public examiner. When
the receiver took charge, however. he
was informed that an item in the ac-
counts Of the paying teller could not be
satisfactorily understood without per-
sonal explana tion from Mr.. Bosch. Tho
discrepancy amounts to between $1,000
and $1,000 and is SO small that the assets
of the bank are not affected The sum,
indeed, is so trivial that 1t is believed
Mr.. Bosch could readily replace Ii from
his personal means, should omission be
not explained by a re-checking of the
books.
The disappearance of the paying teller
arouses great anxiety among his rela-
tives and immediate friends.

voy to Bayamo. The Spaniards claim
that they sustained no losses in the vari-
GUS engagements with the rebels.

The owners of the Three Friends con-
tend in their exceptions to the libel that
section 52S3 does not apply to the Cuban
rebellion because the United States has
not recognized either the independence or
belligerency of the Cubans and the courts
cannot take cognizance of the war until
either the President or congress recog-

it was impossible for the Three Friends
