DISTRICT IN CONGRESS,
Pay of Station Keepers.

Mr.. Meredith has intro 1uced a bill in the
House increasing TO SO month the pay
or station keepers In the police department.
Postponed Action.
The House committee On Judiciary today
postponed action on the bill making the
clerk of the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict a salaried officer instead of receiv-
ing compensation by fees.
Regulating Storage.
The report of the House District commit
tee on the bill to regulate storage in the
District says.
There are a large number of persons,
firms, associations and corporations IN the
District of Columbia engaged in the bust
ness OF storing for hire goods, wares. ner-
chandise. or other personal properly. The
business is of considerable volume, and tho
District derives valuable revenue thef efrom
Dy way OF licenses, direct taxes, etc. Much
resulted from the fact that the parties
mutually interested in such business as
Dailors and baileeS have been kept entirely
to their common law relations and reme-
dies. The object of the b.ll presented nv
tie committee Is to regulate this business
IN manner just both to the bailor ard to
the ba lee.
Heretofore, in cases where stora 90
charges have become in default, or where
advances for freight, carriage, labor in
sulahce or other necessary expenses have
iiol DeeH repaid, forced sales of the stored
property could be made, and often have
been made at very short notice. and even
without notice, under conditions necessarily
marsh to the owner who might be sick or
temporarily absent from the city, On the
other hand, II the warehouseman was Tb-
eTal ana did not resort to forced sale ac-
cumulaton of the expenses nece ssan!y ate
up the value of the property and left moth
ing to either party. The bill reported gives
advantage to neither party. 1t recognizes
the right of the bailee to be secured and to
be paid for his services and the obliga ton
OF the bailor and of the goods to pay him
therefor. ~
1T provides method whereby, after am
pie personal notice to the bailor and of SUBJ
sequent published notice in a washington
daily newspaper, unpaid advances and
storge charges overdue for not less than on,
year may be enforced against the property.
1t thus fully protects owners of stored
property against snap proceedings, while
making the property responsible for the
lawful expenses of it's custody. While max
ing the property stored responsible for adj
Vahces ana agreed storage charges, it also
guards the wareho1semen from being made
party to suits involving the title to the
stored property. The bill is recommended
by the attorney for the District. is indorsc !
by the District Commiss. oners, and is salts
FACTORY to parties in interest. 1t is likewise
IN entire harmony with similar legisla ion
In many states"

BoOTH-TUCkER's WORK.

A PRACTICAL SPLIT
Silver Republicans Will Not Vote for
Protection Without Free Coinage.
What the Tariff Bill Episode I'm the
Senate This Afternoon
Really Means.

The final thrust was given to the tariff
bill in the Senate today, and 1t was official
ly pronounced to be dead.
The significance and Importance of the
whole episode over the tariff bill in the
Senate this afternoon, of which full ac-
count Is given elsewhere, Is the fact that
1t marks the end of efforts on the part CT
the eastern republicans to win over the
ultra silver men by an appeal to their
party loyalty. and Is the open declaration
of war on both sides, which promises to
end only in split at the republican ma
tional convention.
The silver men feel their power to OBJ
struct legislation, and they have served
notice that the tariff and silver must be
linked together. All silver republicans do
not join in this declaration, but there are
enough Of them to render their efforts eff
fective, and they expect their numbers to
grow, rather than to diminish. It Is I'M
derstood thst several who have not voted
with Teller. Dubois, Carter, Mantle and
Cannon are in full sympathy with them, and
1t is probable that all those who represent
silver producing states will nave to join in
the move.
These men who have openly announced
their position have been receiving letters
and kilograms from their people at home,
whose interests lie with silver, and from
silver men in other parts of the country,
especially from those i'll Pennsylvania, who
are represented by Wharton Barker and
Senator Cameron, fndorsing their position
and urging them to stand by it.
VIII Maintain Their Position,
This Is all the encouragement they need,
for they represent silver constituents and
do not care for the wishes of others. They
have taken a position which they intend to
maintain. 1t might as well be recognized
that as long as these silver states can hold
balance Of power between the republican
party and the low tariff democrats they
will not permit protective tariff legislation
unless 1t is coupled with free silver.
They have adopted the motto of PRO
lection and silver" which means to them
no protection without free silver. Practi-
celiy, the split has come in the party al
ready. The ultra free silver men have
chosen their course, and it is not doubted
by the eastern Senators that leads them
out of the party, if not now, at least when
1t comes to making a declaration of party
principles at the national convention.
