sENATE's TARIFF STRUGGLE.
Republicans 10 Ask Concession
From the Democrats.

Washington. April 24.-The republican
members of the finance committee OF the
Senate have decided to appeal to their
democratic colleagues on the committee to
allow the tariff bill TO be reported to the
Senate without passing though the hands
of the full committeegor in default of this
to agree to a report after one formal ses-
sion.
The republican senators make no effort
to conceal the fact that their reason for
preparing this request is their desire to
avoid the Importantly that would result
from making the bill public before report
ing IL to the Senate. With the bill once
out of the hands of the committee the
members of the committee will be as pow
erless as any other senators to make
amendments and hence will be compare
lively free from the pleadings OF the peo-
pie whose interests may be affected by the
changes proposed.
The members of the committee, while
still refusing to make public any of the
details of their work, admit that their
alterations are numerous and far reach
ing in effect and, therefore. of a character
to call forth many objections
They also admit that while they have
made some increases in rates the great
bulk of the changes have been in the way

The democratic members of the commit
tee have not yet formally received the
proposition, and say they are not prepared
to indicate what their response will be
until they receive it and have an oppor-
tunity to confer over it.
The republicans intend to report the bill
next Thursday, if democratic assent can
be secured to their plan not to delay il in
committee, and they agree that 1t shall
lie on the Senate table before taken up for
any reasonable time the democrats may
suggest, from one to two weeks, II nee

ed Dismissed From the Service.
Atlanta, Ca, April 24-The finding OF
court martial which recently tried Capt.
]. F. Kempton, and 26 other members of
the Atlanta artillery, including Sergeant
Guy Thurmond, was promulgated from
the Office of the adjutant general to-day.
Capt. Oscar Brown, assistant adjutant
general, after mailing copies of the find
ings to the officers and men tried, gave
the matter to the press tonight.
Pursuant to the finding Of the court,
Capt. Kempton, Sergeant Thurmond and
all the enlisted men tried are dismissed
from the service of the state and made to
forfeit all pay and allowance due to them
for attendance upon the court as witnesses
or otherwise.
In the case of the enlisted men, the
court made a recommendation of clemen-
cy, but the governor could not LEI them off
with simply reprimand, which was the
only alternative to dismissal.
The action of the court in finding for the
dismissal of Capt Kempton and the men
was for the good of the service. Capt
Kempton was found guilty of reporting
more men present in camp last year than
were actually in attendance, as charged
Sergt. Thurmond and the men were
found guilty of signing a petition and par
ticpating in meeting for the purpose OF
having Capt. Kempton and the other
commissioned and non-commissioned Off
GERS to resign. The sentence of dismissal
practically breaks up the battery, as the
lleutenants are about all that are left.

MILL TREASURER MISSING.
The Corporations He Was Connected
With in Financial Straits.


New Bedford, Mass, April A.-Much
alarm is felt here over the continued
absence from this city of William d. How
land, treasurer of the New Bedford Man
ufacturing corporation, Rotch Spinning
Company and the Rowland cotton mills, all
three of which, as announced last night
are in financial difficulties, due princi-
pally to the placing of the Bennett and
Columbia corporations in the hands of re-
ceivers, and the revelation Of irregulari-
ties in the accounts in the latter two mills.
At a meeting of the directors of the How
land, New Bedford and Rotch corpora
tons yesterday 1t was decided to make
full examination of the accounts of these
mills, in order that the creditors might be
apprised of their exact standing. Mr..
Rowland was seen here early yesterday,
but since that time his whereabouts have
apparently become a mystery. His fam
lily stated to all callers at his house that
they did not know where Mr.. Rowland
was.
Garry Pierce. a bookeeper for the cor
poratiOn of which Mr. Rowland was treas
urer, says that the latter reported to him
his failure to raise money to avert the
trouble, and had threatened to drown
himself,
