"A MODERATE MEASURE"
The Tariff Bill Which the Republican.
Will Frame This Winter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA mod
crate measure" is the characterization
which leading Republicans of the House
give to the new tariff bill which it is
proposed to frame this winter in antic-
ipation of an extra session of Congress-
1t is explained that what is desired
is bill which will provide sufficient
revenue to cover the deficit now exist
ing, furnishing proper protection to
home industries, and also that condi-
tons have considerably changed since
what is known as the Mckinley bill
became a law. and that such duties as
were justified then are unnecessary at
present
The sugar schedule promises to cause
more embarrassment than any other in
the bill. The agricultural schedule will
probably be fixed at the foramer rate of
duty, while the wooden schedule. it is
said, will receive a sufficient protection
to satisfy the manufacturers. The cot
ton and steel and iron schedules are not
likely to be changed
The bill, it is said, will contain a pro-
vision that goods in bond will, when
taken out, pay the rate Of duty in force,
and not the lower rate at which they
were originally brought to this coun-
try An arrangement will be made by
which dates will be assigned to certain
interests to be heard so that there may
be some sympathetic method of giving
the hearings without embarrassment
The date upon which the hearings will
begin will be made public when the
full committee meets.
The record-union., 1896-12-12

cruing from f1libustering operations or
ganized in this country, has, in men,
orandum sent to the State Department,
given an opinion adverse to the allowing
of any claims arising from filibustering
organizations.
The opinion declares that the mere
shipment of arms by persons in the
United States to persons in Cuba is not
violation of International law. In
diyiduals in the United States have a
right to sell and ship such articles to
whomsoever may choose to buy them,
but of the persons supplying such mu-
nitions of war from a place in the
United States not otherwise parties to
a design that force shall be employed
against Spanish authority, then the en-
terprise. is not communication and not
violation of International law
The opinion further substantially de-
clares that while the President may en-
ploy military and naval force to dis
perse or prevent a departure from our
territory of expeditions, it is plain that
such means are practiced only when
there has been defiance of the Govern
ment by an organized body. The Con-
stitution forbids the arbitrary exercise
of fpower where the liberty or property
of 1pdiyidual citizens is involved.

hol in the arts was agreed to.

HALE STILL IN THE LEAD.
Has Already Beaten the Six-Day
Bicycle Record.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-One minute
after 8 O'Clock last (Friday) night Teddy
Hale. the Irish hero of the six days BIZ
cycle race at Madison-s square Garden,
passed the previous record for six days.
made by Schock in 1881 600 miles
by four laps and twenty-five hours,
fifty-nine minutes to the good. He not
only broke the record himself, but
forced the six men following on his
tracks to break the previous best record
for 116 hours eight laps.
Hale was sprinting miles In 2:24 at
o'clock this evening, and appeared. so
fresh and well that he is looked upon as
the winner Of the contest. The battle
for second honors was waged again to-
day between Forster and Rice. AT noon
the Dutchman had bit the best of the
Wilkesbarre boy. and led him by a few
miles, but later on Rice regained the
lead. Reading, Schock, Smith, Taylor,
Moore and Pierce kept in about the
same relative positions after the lead
ers all day. Ashinger, Maddox and
Cassidy made the third division about
forty miles behind Pierce, while of the
other four Cannon and Mcleod are
likely to get the tail end Of the eleven
prizes if they keep on at the same rate.
A tremendous burst of applause greet
ed Hale when the announcement was
made at 8 o'clock that he had broken
the six-day record.
The score at 1 a. m. Saturday., best
previous record 1,4SO miles by Schock,
was: Hale 1867 miles, Forster 1,607,
Rice 1,613, Reading 1. .5S3. Schock 1865,

STRIKING MINERS.
An Important Meeting Held at Pitts
burg Yesterday.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 11.-Immediately
after the joint conference of operators
and miners of the Pittsburg district con-
vened this morning it was shown that
the miners asked for "a cents from Jan
uary to March and 20 cents for the bal
ance of the year. The operators were
offered 60 cents and Go cents for the
same terms. The miners did not agree
to it. The President suggested that the
convention adjourn sine die. This was
done. The miners went into secret ses-
sion to further discuss their position.
This afternoon the miners voted by
small majority to refer the question of
accepting the 60 cent rate back to local
organizations. The indications are that
the offer of the operators will be re-
jected.

CLEVELANDS MESSAGE.
Spain Satisfied With That Portion
Relating to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Semi- off
cial advices from Madrid to-day state
that Government circles, as well as the
conservative element generally, are en-
tirely satisfied with the feature of the
Presidents message which related to
Cuba.
The first impression created by the
meager reports cabled to Spain was not
satisfactory and produced some irrita-
ton. When the full text OF the Cuban
chapter appeared in the leading papers
Of the kingdom there was, 1t is reported,
a complete revolution of sentiment, and
the Presidents courteous and consid-
crate treatment of the subject received
general approval.
The Presidents utterances are taken
