LOOKING FOR REVENUE
Mr.. Uevelands Plan to Defeat Tariff Legis-
lation.
Internal Taxes May BE Imposed or In.
creased-Republicnn Said to
BE Not Alarmed.

1t Is expected that determined effort will
be made by the administration to secure
emergency revenue legislation at this ses-
sion. which, 1t will be hoped, may inter-
fere with the enactment of q protective
tariff law by the next Congress. All sorts
of propositions to raise revenue from in
terral sources will be made with the hope
that some one OF them will develop
strength enough to- secure adoption as an
immediate expedient Much faith is
placed by those who would circumyent
tariff legislation in the popularity Of the
proposition to put tax of a dollar more
per barrel on beer and to provide for a
stamp tax on proprietary medicines. The
plea to be made in favor Of these PROPOSE
tions will be that 1T is necessary for more
revenue to be raised at once. and that
tariff legislation not being practicable al
this time, these ''urobjectionable" internal
revenues should be resorted to to tide the
treasury over until tariff legislation can be
had under the new ministration. 1t
will be significantly suggested to republi-
can managers that II something Of this
sort is not done Major Mckinley will be
confronted on his entrance into office with
a shortness of revenue which cannot be
made up by legislation in time to save
him from the necessity Of bond issue.
II Is fancied that the dread Of being re-
.
Cleveland's bond policy might drive the
republicans 10 the acceptance of the pro-
posed internal revenue tax.
To strengthen the argument it is pointed
out that the republicans cannot hope 20
put a new tariff act in operation inside of
a year after Mr.. Mckinley assumes office.
1t Is not likely that the republican man.
ayers will be Influenced by this sort of
argument. The shrewdest of them think
they see too plainly the motive behind It,
which is construed to be to make 1t more
difficult to pass tariff bill 1t is realized
that Mr.. Clevelard's only hope for the fu-
ture uniting of the divided democracy is by
means of the tariff, and that therefore he
will not yield to the least degree in his op-
position tc protection, but wants to have 1t
proven, before tariff bill can have been
passed. that sufficient revenue may be
raised without resorting to higher tariff
duties.
AS republicans see it, there is no danger
Of Mr. Mckineys being forced to bond
issue. They do not anticipate any such de-
lay in the adoption of tariff bill as the
free traders predict An extra session is
likely to be called to meet before the first
of April. Meanwhile much of the work of
preparing bill will have been done in ad-
vance, and it is belieyed that 1t will be Ell
tirely practicable to get the measure
ii In the hands of the President within
three months after the meeting of Con-
gress in special session. 1t is likely that
they will be facilita ted in this by the fact
that the silver leaders, who alone might be
counted on to obstrutt, are disposed 20

NEW YORK, November 21.-Helmas Ro-
maine Of Paterson, N. j., whose estate is
estimated to amount to about 81 100000 in
value, committed suicide on his farm in
Rochelle Park, Bergen county, n. j. today
by shooting himself. Mr.. Romane was
identified with many local enterprises. He
was formerly president Of the Paterson
Railroad Company. Three months ago Mr..
Romaine's mother died. This had a de-
pressing effect on him, and he continually
complained of being ill., When he left
home yesterday for the farm he said he
was not feeling well.
PHILADELPHIA, November 21.-Pen-
nington Higgins, brother of ex-senator
Higgins of Delaware and newspaper man
of wide experience and more than ordinary
ability, committed suicide last night by in
haling gas. His body was found this morn
ing in his room at the boarding house 405
South Sth street. He is believed to have
bee ONE despondent, although just previous
to retiring last night he seemed in his
usual good humor. From the circumstances
surrounding the case it is evident that his
suicide was deliberately planned. He had
pulled his bed into the middle of the room,
and, after turning on the gas from the
side bracket on the wall, he attached a
rubber tube to the chandelier overhead,
end, placing the other end in his mouth,

ployment was on the Press in this city.
During the days prior to the republican
convention at ST. Louis Higgins was sta
toned at Major McKinley's home and rem
dered most efficient service to his paper.
He left the Press about three weeks ago.
In his time Mr.. Higgins had been connect
ed with various papers in different parts of
the country and had very wide acquain l.
ance among public men. He was born in
Delaware and was unmarried. He was
about fifty years of age.

A PORTFOLIO FOR EVANS
The Tennesseean Said to Re Slated for the
Cabinet.
He May he Appointed Postmaster
General-His Services In the
Campaign.

II IS the general impression in political
circles that Mr.. H. Clay Evans Of Tennes-
see will be rendered a portfolio In Major
Mckinley's cabinet. This opinion is based
mainly upon the fact that Mr.. Evans is
the most prominent republican in southern
politics, and that he is a man of marked
ability as well as being a warm admirer
and stanch supporter of Major Mckinley.
In view of his past experience in an admin
1strative capacity. as assistant postmaster
general under President Harrison, it is
assumed that if he goes into the cabinet
II Will be as Postmaster General.
AS long ago as last June and when the
republican national convention was in ses-
sion Mr. Evans name was used in this
connection. The part which he had taken
IN the ante-convention campaign made him
prominent factor in the proceedings Of
the assembly, and he was put in nomina-
tion for Vice President receiving 2SOh
votes AT that time it was conceded by the
politicians that Mr.. Evans would stand
hig!: in the list of names from which Ma
Jor Mckiniey's cabinet would be chosen.
Mr.. Evans first came into prominence In
national politics when he was elected to
the F1fty-flrst Congress. He was soon
recognized as clear and forcibie debater,
and bore a conspicuous part in the excit-
ing deliberations of that Congress. After
being defeated for reelection Mr. Evans
devoted himself to state politics, suspend
ing his efforts in this direction, however
for while to take a position in the clos
ing days of General Harrison's adminis-
tration as assistant postmaster general.
Upon the incoming of the Cleveland ad-
ministration Mr.. Evans returned to Ten
nessee and was nominated by the repub-
licans for governor. He carried the state
but was counted out by the legislature
This act was disapproved by conservative
democrats throughout the state and caused
storm of indignation among the repuh-
licans. Many democrats declared they
would thereafter support Mr.. Evans when
ever he came before the people ac-
count of the wrong which their party lad
inflicted upon him.
During the past campaign Mr.. Evans has
rendered service to his party not only in
his own state, but In other sections as
well. In Indiana his services were regard
ed as especially valuable by the republi-
cans. He is a forcible campaign orator,
well-posted upon all public questions. quick
at repartee and man Of very magnetic
presence.
He is we'll known among republicans
throughout the United States. we'll as
in the southern country. When the Ma
tional League of Republican Clubs held its
convention in Cleveland two years ago
Mr. Evans attended and delivered a speech
to the assembled multitude in the great
arcade, which attracted general attention
throughout the country, and aroused the
utmost enthusiasm among his hearers.
At that time he predicted Major Mckin-
leys nomination and election upon the lines
on which the great fight was subsequently
fought and won.

Nothing Sensational In the Report of
Expert Little.
BALTIMORE, Nd, November 21-PreSi-
dent and Co-Receiver John K. Cowen of
the Baltimore and Ohio railway said today
that the report of Expert Examiner Little
is now in the hands of the printer, and that
copies of it would be distributed among the
stockholders within a week. 1t is learned
from other sources that the report was read
at the recent meeting of the stockholders,
for the benefit OF those who desired to learn
something of it's contents.
Agent Leman, who was present at this
meeting. has said that there is nothing of a
sensational character in the report, and
that no charge, save possibly that of mis-
management, Is made against the Mayer
administration. The method of keeping the
books, however, Is criticised, and the report
Is said to show that for more than five
years past unearDed dividends have been
paid with money borroyed for the purpose
and upon collateral belbnging to the COM
pany; that the books have been kept in
such manner as to ind icate a more favor
able financial condition. than actually ex-
minor nature were discovered. The most
important feature of the report, however,
Is said to be that it reveals the fact that
even under the conditions which then ex-
isted the system was fdlly able to pay its
interest and other fixed charges out of It's
earnings, and that II the dividends had not
been paid as stated, the road would have
been self-suppertirg,a and the necessity for
a receivership would have been avoided
AS soon as the report b made public, q
meeting of the Baltimore reorganization
committee will be held, at which it will be
determined whether d further examina ton
of the books will be made under the au-
spices OF that committee.
