wAsnNoroN, May II, 1897.
The Dingley tariff bill, which was
this week reported to the Senate and
which will be taken mp by the Senate on
the 18th inst, j. the most absorbing
topic Of conversation In Congressional
and administration circles. The sena.
tors who amended the bill kept their
secrets well aud the amended bill con.
tanned many absolute surprises, not
only for the public but for Senators and
Representatives. One who had never
been in Washington whom an amended
tariff bill was reported to the Senate
might suppose from the cyclone Of dis.
approval that has met the bill from Re.
publicans that II was in danger OF an
early death. Hut the old stagera know
that these shouts Of disapproyal from
members Of the majority party are reg.
ular accompaniments Of every amended
tariff bill reported TO the senate. II is
only when u tariff bill has been reported
10 the Senate that the hardest fighting
begins, and the hardest fighters are
always rs rule members OF the party
that VIII have 20 be Responsible Gov the
tarinr. The gentlemen who are now
talking most against the Dingley bill do
not expect to vote against a. only to
ger certain schedules changed In the In
terest Of their constituents. The New
England Senators who are thinking oi
staying In Washington until October in
order To get duty Of lis cents pound
on hides struck out, will wind up with
compromising ON little lower rate oI
duty, and the same thing will hold good
with nearly all the other DIRECTORS. The
retroactive clause OF the bill has been
dropped and one inserted making the
new duties take effect Julyi. The duty
Of 10 cents q pound on tea and the in
ternal revenue tax Of a cents barrel
ON beer, ale, porter, etc, in addition
to the existing tax Of 81 barrel, are to
be only imposed from the date the bill
becomes law until January 1900,
Senator Allison says these two items
were put In to raise revenue to offset
the loss OF revenue caused by the larg,
importations known TO have already
been made Of goods upon which the
duties will be Increased, No statement
has yet been prepared showing the es
imated revenue that the bill ~ il nov
stands will produce, hut Senator Aid

POSSIBLE VISITORS.

A committee will leave for Washing
ton tomorrow to formally invite the
President and his Cabinet To visit Utah
and attend the jubilee We hope the
invitation will meet with the response
that the gentlemen will come with
that assured. IL would DO reasonable to
expect more Of the prominent people oil
the east, Senators and Representative
Governors Of States, officers OF business
organizations and good many Of the
weather people who have not yet
bathed In salt Lake, seen the rugged
grandor OF the Yellowstone rark or
the softer splendors Of Yosemite. We
wish that they might come, aud behind
the wish there Is no thought except the
hone and belief that the visit would add
to their knowledge In the very line IN
which they most need knowledge, Ee-
cause Of the words Of Grover Cleveland
speaking before religious assemblagc
Of distinguished churchmen and women
speaking as the President of the United
States, aud referring to the west as a
region Of 'unwolcomo States" and be-
cause OF tho tone Of the eastern press
through all last years campaign, good
many sincere men and women OF the
east really believe that to come west
would be very much like a visit to a
Basal. Bnronk camp In the hills OF Asia
Minor. However, were the President
aud his wife TO come, they might gather
courage enough, to- follow, aud y real
Walt would 40 ,hem a world q good. ~
would 40 tho,n good In. many Ways. A
visit to ParkCity would convince them
thar silver mining is a serious business ;
that there is not an over abundance Of
the white metal In the world, and that

better than all would they DO educated
by wha, theh eyes and ears would Itakc
in. A glimpse of the wasatch range,
n svim In Grca. Salt Lake, a sight o.
our public school buildings, u concert
In the Tabernacle, the ways Of our peo-
pie would all be punctuation points in
their visit which would linRer In their
thoughts after they went away, and
thereafter they would DO forced to adj
init that the people Of the west were
actually clothed and In their right
minds. It would do the President him
self good. lie has been here before, but
II would strengthen him to know that
all tho people wanted to extend TO him
the courtesies due from apeoplo to their
Chief Magistrate. one visit by Mr,
Cleveland here during his first term
might have made It possible for him to
administer his office In an intelligent
way. At least 8, would have enabled
him TO get In touch with all the people,
II he had desired to, though really We
do not believe that he cared to. We
hope large company will come. II
would be the making Of a good many Of
them.-C. O. Goodwin in Salt LAX,

Democratic Gains

Associated Press Special Wire.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 12-This
city will today elect Mayor, City
Clerk, a Judge of the Police Court, six
Councilmen at large and fifteen ward
Councilmen. The contest for Mayor lies
between Thomas Taggart, Democrat
incumbent, and William Harding, Re-
publican. Independents, Citizens Pro-
hibitionists and Socialists also have
tickets in the field. The Democrats have
free silver plank in their platform, but
the question is not in any sense an issue
in the campaign, as the gold Democrats
are supporting the reelection OF the
candidate.
At 10 o'clock tonight the Repub-
means conceded the, election of Mayor
Taggart DemocraO by some oooo, ana
the rest of the Democratic ticket py
from 5000 to 1000. 1t is hard to hgure
gains and losses on account OF the re-
cent changes in precinct boundaries.
Ex-Presid,snt Harrison's precinct shows
large Democratic gain, in fact the
Democrats made heavy gains in Repub-
lican strorgholds.
Later-Thomas Taggart, Democrat
defeated w. N. Harding, Republican
for mayor by plurality that will reach
5000 The. Republicans gave up the fight
early in the evening. conceding a Demo
cratic victory of from 5000 to 5000 AT
o'clock 120 precincts out of total Oh
1876, gave Taggart a plurality of 300
If this rate keeps up the official count
will show clear gains for Mayor Tag
CART Of 5000. The rest of the ticket, in
cluding six courcilmen al large, IS
elected by from $500 to 1000. or the
ward counclmen the Republicans vii!
elect probably not more than four ou.
of fifteen.
Mayor Taggart was deluged with tele
grams tonight from all over the coun-
try He is freely spoken of as the next
Democratic candidate for governor.
He was elected on a silver platform.
AT CHATTANOOGA
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 12.-
The municipal election today resulted
in an overwhelming defeat for the Re
publican ticket. Col. Ed, Watkins, DEM
ocrat was elected by 995 majority. Col.
Watkins is leading lawyer and pro-
moter, and, the canvass being personal,
attests his popularity among the peo-
pie.
The Democrats elected six out of the
eight aldermen. This city is nomnally
Republican by from 400 to 500 and, the
Overwhelming reversal of the conditions
is due to the apathy of the Republican
voters and. the dsaffecton of the ne
groes. There was a very light vote, only
$500 being cast.

SHERMAN MAKES REPLY
TO BRITAIN's DECLINATIoN TO
CONFER
The Government Views With Aston
ishment the Action England
Has Zeen Fit to Take

WASHINGTON, Oct 12-Secretary
Sherman has written a reply to the note
of Lord Salisbury expressing Great
Britain's declination to take part in a
Bering sea conference in which Russia
and Japan are to participate. The es,-
sential features of Mr.. Sherman's reply
have been sent by cable to the British
government and the reply in full is Row
on its way to the British authorities.
Lord Salisbury's note of declination,
it can now be stated, bore date of Oct
6, last Wednesday, so that the response
is made with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with aston
ishmert the determination of Great
Britain v,ot to participate in a confer
ence including Russia and Japan, and
the statement is made that up to the
I'd of last month the United States au-
thorties had fully expeced that the
conference would proceed with Russia
and Japan, as we'll as Great Britain,
present. II is pointed out that aside
from the written correspondence TO
which LORD Salisbury has called atten-
ton, there were verbal negotiations be-
tween Ambassador Hay and his lord
ship in which a specific reference was
made to the participation of Russia and
Japan. At one Of these verbal ex-
changes, 1t is stated, Lord Salisbury
said he would advise with the officials
of the foreign Office concerning the SUBJ
jects discussed, which irlclude the par
ticipation Of Russia and Japan. Sub
sequently, on July 20, Ambassador Hay
wrote to Lord Salisbury saying the
president hoped to have Russia and
Japan participate in the conference. In
view of these circumstances the United
States had confidently expected that
Great Britain would take part in the
conference and that Russia and Japan
would be represented, with the approval
of Great Britain

itely announced this afternoon, accord
ing to a Herald Washington dispatch
that when the cruiser Baltimore leaves
for Hawaii, probably next week, she
will carry with her orders to the York
town and Wheeling to go to Mare ISL
and. The withdrawal Of these two gun
boats means that the administration is
satisfied that the Baltimore and Ben
nington will be sufficient to protect
American interests in the islands in the
future. 1t indicates that the temporary
need which called the two gunboats to
Honolulu has expired and the president
feels safe in directing their return.
