MEDICAL STUDENT EGGED
william Tenney Cannon the Victim Of
hoOdIums at Jefferson College.
Revenge Of BOycotters.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1-William Ten
ney Cannon, a student at the Jefferson
Medical college, and a brother of Unit
ed States Senator Cannon, of Utah,
was egged today by his fellow students.
Cannon's misadventure arose over the
resentment of the students against a
recent order of the faculty to which
Cannon submitted. The faculty or
dered that. on and after today. all stu
dents would be required to show re-
ceipts for their tuition fees before en-
tering a lecture room. The students
took exception to this order and de-
termined to show their resentment by
remaining away from lectures. .,nen
DR.. Henry c. Chapman entered his
class room today to lecture on physi-
ology Cannon was the only student on
the benches before him. The other
students were collected outside the
door and they held an Indignation
meeting and committee departed and
returned to the building with some
eggs When Cannon issued from the
class room at the end of the lecture he
was greeted with a howl o. indigna-
tion and a shower of eggs. The eggs
plentifully bespattered Cannon and he
fled under fusilade Of the same mis-
siles. DR.. f. L. Montgomery, profess
sor, of clinical gynccoloGy. attempted
to protect Cannon, and he was the tar
get for three or four eggs.
Cannon was seen tonight and seemed
to make light of the affair and said his
going into the lecture room by himself
was done innocently and without
knowledge of the stand taken by the
students. He says he will return to
lectures tomorrow. What action the
faculty will take on the matter cannot
be learned,

TARIFF AGITATION.
The First Steps Towards Securing a
Revision Are Taken 10 New York
City..Schedule Will Be Presented.

New York, Dec. 1.-The first steps to-
ward securing a revision of the tariff
duties on manufactured articles of iron
and other metals, or a return to the
Mckinley law, We're taken by num-
Der of the members of the New York
Metal exchange today. The tariff ques-
tiOn was taken up by the exchange i'm
mediately after the election Of McKin-
ley became an assured fact and an in
formal meeting of the representatives
of the various branches of the metal
trade was called. This took place to-
day in the offices of Mr.. A. II. Kent.
the eastern agent of the Miners Steel
company. The meeting was in session
nearly two hours, and committee to
do the preliminary work of securing the
reforms was appointed.
Henry T.. Dodge, of the Joliet Iron
company, called the meeting to order
He referred to the loses caused in the
change from the Mckinley to the Will
son law and outlined the purposes of
the meeting. There were no speeches
made, but the condition of the metal
trades were thoroughly discussed. Ex-
cept the importers of tin who assert
that this country cannot supply the
demand for sheet tin, either with or
without a protective tariff all of the
gentlemen present We're unanimous in
their requests for higher tariff Ed
ward Parke, an importer of finer grades
of manufactured steel. said however,
that while he was not particular wheth-
erthe tariff be high or low, he thought
that the country should have an estab-
lished policy on the tariff question. The
trade suffered more from the disturb
ances caused by frequent changes than
from any other reason. He advocated
the appointment of a tariff commission
--eXperts-to whom all such matters
should be referred. and with such pow
ers as would enable them to prevent
changes unless II was certain that the
country would be benefited. His idea
was indorsed.
1t was decided that several weeks
would be required to chrystalize the
ideas into proper form on which to base
a schedule for presentation to con-
gress. and the committee was appoint
ed. This committee will hear the views
of all interested, put them in proper
form and will report at another meeting
to be held in about three weeks.
When the committee reports work
will begin at once on the schedule, and
1t wiil be rushed through to reach
congress If possible at this session.

AN ATTORNEY ARRESTED.
william >. Harris is Under Bail on
Charge of Forgery.

West Chester. Pa, Dec. 1.-William
s. Harris. a well known member of the
Chester county bar. and the recently
defeated Democratic nominee for dis
trict attorney, has been arrested on
the charge of forgery and held under
bail for hearing. There were three
separate and distinct charges made
against Harris by Thomas w. Pierce,
another member of the bar here. Mr..
Pierce charges that Harris forged the
names of Interested parties to docu-
ments, by which he managed to secure
different sums of money by using forg-
ed warrants of attorney. One was a
bond of $500.
Mr. Pierce in his bill of complaint
charges that these efforts to defraud
We're made in April. 1895. Soon after
there was an effort to bring the matter
up and a plan was on foot to have
Lawyer Harris disbarred. Judge Wad-
dell appointed a committee of members
of the bar to inquire into the matter.
This was done and. after more than a
year of waiting, the committee report
ed, that, nsO criminal action had been
brought against Harris. 1t would not
be proper to disbar him. The matter
rested there until 1t was brought up
again by the arrest of Harris on the
specific charge of forgery.

QUAY ON THE GROUND.
He Arrives 10 Philadelphia and Confers
With the Republican Leaders.
Shuns the lutervicwers.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-After disap-
pointing his anxious followers for sew
eral days, Senator Quay came here this
afternoon from Washington. His
rooms at the Hotel Walton speedily
became the Mecca for all the Quay lead
ers of Philadelphia and many from the
eastern counties of the state. Senator
Quay was in consultation with these
leaders the greater part of the day and
this evening upon matters that will
come up before the legislature. When
asked in regard to the United States
senatorship, Mr.. Quay reiterated the
interview in Washington In which he
said he was opposed to Mr.. Wana-
maker, but did not further commit
himself than to say:
THAT If Phila lelphia Is to get the
senatorship Penrose is the best man."
Senator Quay expects to stay here
until Thursday evening when he will
go to Harrisburg.
Harrisburg. Pa. Dec. 1.-Senator
Quay will come to Harrisburg tOmor-
row evening to have a talk with Gov
ernOr Hastings on the senatorship. 1t

BIG BLAZE IN BOSTON.
Whole Of the City Fire Department
Called Out...Traffic Over the
Line Blocked.

Boston, Dec. 1.-Fire started early
this morning in the immense coal sheds
of the Boston and Maine railroad, situ-
ated in the rear Of the state prison at
Charlestown, and at IL o'clock, nearly
three hours after, the entire fire depart
ment had been summoned, the flames
were burning as fiercely as ever. The
first alarm was given at about $50
o'clock, followed by second. at about
10 O'Clock, and a third at 1890. The
third alarm brought apparatus from
all parts of the city, this precaution
being thought necessary on account of
the proximity of the Fitchburg railroad
property. the Boston and Maine round
houses, the state prison and other
buildings.
AS the result of the fire no trains
have passed in or out of the Union
station on the Eastern division of the
Boston and Maine this forenoon. 1t is
estimated that over $1,000 tons of coal
are i'm the buildings.
Fireman Ryan of the f1reboat. which
was doing excellent service on the east
side of the fire, slipped on the deck and
broke his leg. and was taken to the
hospital in an ambulance.
At II o'clock a portion of the shed
fell across the tracks of the Fitchburg
division, blocking traffic each way.
Before noon time the fire was well un-
der control, and it is thought the loss
will not exceed $4,000.

HANNA in THE CABINET
Il Is Believed That He Will Be Secre.
tary Of the Navy...General Alger
Secretary Of War.

Canton, o., Dec. 1.-liajor Mckinley
had long talk with Mark Hanna, who
arrived today. For the first time since
his election, Major Mckinley and Mr..
Hanna were able to converse leisure
ly and fully. The belief is current to-
night that Mr. Hanna will be secre-
tary of the navy and General Alger
secretary of war. If Mr. Hanna is
made secretary of the navy, 1t Is not
improbable that c. N. Bliss. of New
York, will be appointed either post
master general or secretary Of the in
terror. There is no confirmation of the
rumor that Charles G. Dawes, of Chi
cago. is to be appointed private secre-
tary. Il. c. Dewitt. president of the
Marquette club, Of Chicago, called on
Major Mckinley today. The Mar
quette club was one of the organiza-
tions that assisted in bringing about
the nomination of Major Mckinley
and the members feel by reason of
their usefulness and loyalty they ought
to be entitled to make occasional sug-
gestions about certain appointments in
Illinois.
Mr.. Hanna said tonight that he did
not expect any trouble or clash re-
specting the inaugural ceremonies. He
will leave for Washington Thursday.
The indications are that the inaugural
parade will be the largest ever wit
messed.

GORGE IN THE CHIPPEWA
The Town Of Chippewa Falls Flooded.
Business Firms Move From
Some Of the Streets.

Chippewa Falls. Dec. 1.-The Chip
pewa river Is gOrged at twenty points
tonight and the backing up of the wa
ter is becoming alarming. At this
point the water has creDt up from the
bridge to the pOstOffice, two blocks back
from the river and the water Is now
twenty four feet above the low water
mark. The Wisconsin Central tracks
are covered with water two feet deep
and the road is using the Omaha
tracks. Duncan creek. a tributary of
the Chippewa river here is also doing
much damage, as the water is backing
up. The Chippewa Lumber and Boom
company's mills and lumber yards are
all under water and every resident and
business firm on River street has
moved out. At Flambeau Farm, the
river ran over it's banks. destroying
300 head of live stock and ruined a
dozen farms and buildings.
There Is much excitement in Chippe-
wa Falls, but everything Is quiet. About
fifty families on the south side were
forced to move out of their homes.
Bridge Superintendent Callighan, of
the Wisconsin Central road. was in
structed to blast out the gorge at the
east, but he would not undertake the
task. He said that all the dynamite
manufactured could not bulge it.
Eau Claire, fifteen miles south, is in
the shadow of the gorge which threat
ems to- give way II any moment.
Tie gorge begun at West Newton on
the Aiississpni and gradually extend
cd up the ChippeWa, Since Friday it
has reached Eound Hin, three miles
below Durand. ThesAiRhteen miles Of
the Chippewa below Round Hill is one
fietd of packed ice and the bottom
lands over which the Chicago, Mil
waukec ana 81. Paul railroad track
runs is completely submerged.
As far as known no lives have been
lost.
The food in the Wisconsin river con-
tinues and at Granite Heights, ten miles
north of Wausau, the Chicago. Milwau-
kee and st. Paulstracks are under wat
er for some distance. The water is coat
ed with ice which is not strong enough
for transfer and yet is thick enough
to seriously impede any attempt to
clear the track. No Darc, of the track
is yet washed out, but it is considered
unsafe to attempt to run through the
water. There is a total suspension of
railway traffic on the Wabash and Dur
and section of the road.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The sub-com-
Mittec of the house committee on ap-
propriatiOnS in charge of the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial bill met
today at the capitol to work upon the
measure in advance of the reaSSemb-
ling of congress. They had before them
the civil service commissioners, the
new commissioner of internal revenue,
w. S. Forman. of Illinois. and several
chiefs of the treasury department. who
set forth the needs of their several
bureaus.
The policy of the committee in re-
gard to appropriations was outlined by
Hon. j. q. Cannon, committee chair
man, who said to reporter for the
United Associated Presses:
las published recently. the estimates
for Notifications amount to something
more than fifteen millions. At the last
session of congress u new and impor-
tant departure was made with refer
ence to the manner of apprOpriating
for Notifications. by giving to the sec
retary of war authority to enter into
contracts for material and labor in
constructing gun and mortar batter
les at all the important ports on our
sea coast to the extent of $2,5OO. 900. Just
what the department has done in the
way VI tnlS uu-
thority has not been developed. The
committee will probably be enable to
complete the preparation of the pension
appropriation bill and report it to the
house on the first day of the coming
session, and thev expect to have the
legislative bill in condition to report by
the middle or last of the first week."
POLICY OF THE COMMITTEE.
"What will be the policy of the COM
mittee touching the recommendations
of appropriations at this session." was
asked
THE committee will no doubt rec
Ommend appropriations for an efficient
public service. The receipts Of the gov
ernment, however, are less than the
eXpeditures, and this deficit has been
and is being made up by borrowing
money at interest. AS long as this sit
uation continues the appropriations and
expenditures should be held down rig
idly to the smallest aggregate compat-
ible with the efficiency Of the public
service. No new expenditures ought
to be, and in my judgment. none would
be authorized that are not absolutely
indispensable for the public safety and
the preservation of the national honor.
In other words no new expenditures
will be authorized while this condition
exists and however desirable they may
be or would be If We had the income
today to cover them"

SITUATION OF
AFFAIRS IN CUBA
Weyler Is Pursuing q Policy Of Ex.
termination.
CUBAN ARMY IN GOOD CONDITION
The Insurgents Have $4,000 Men
and Food Supplies Arc Plentiful.
Threc.fOurths Of the Island in the
Hands of the Cubans..Siege Of
Havana May Begin Soon.

Washington. Dec. 1.-Senor Gonzala
De Quesada, who represented the Gu
ban junta in Washington, was inter-
viewed today regarding the situation
of affairs in Cuba. He asserted that
General Weyler has entered upon pol
icy of determination and that he is
pursuing this course in compliance with
his instructions from Spain. THE
same course" he said, "has been pur
sued in the Philippine islands,"
Speaking of the military situation in
the island, Senor Quesada explained
that the Cuban army had been
strengthened and made ready ior an
active winter campaign by the landing
of $500 rifles and several pieces of ar
tillery, as well as a big supply of am
munition and medical stores. The in
surgents now number $4,000 men. and
this number will be doubled as soon as
the proper arms can be supplied them.
He denies the stories of sickness among
the insurgents, and explains that they
are thoroughly acclimated and deter
mined to continue the fight indefinitely.
Food supplies are also plentiful, and
even Maceo, who occupies the least ia
vorable province. that of Pinar Del
Rio, has cattle enough to last his
forces two years.
STRENGTH OF CUBANS.
"Three- fourths of the island are in
the hands of the Cubans and under the
control of civil government"
In the provinces of Santiago De Cuba
and Port Au Principe the Spaniards
hold but five or six inland towns. and
they are heavily garrisOned. Some OF
these towns are now being besieSed ny
the Cubans, the last one taken by the
patriot forces being Guaimaro.
Senor Quesada said that siege Of
HaYana would begin If the insurgents
can send enough artillery, incluuing
their dynamite guns, to that point. He
does not know what action the United
States will take with reference to the
revolution. but thinks the presidents 8
message will define the administra-
tons policy.
