DEMAND FOR HOUSES.

Rental agents in the city say they are
unable to supply the demand for dwelling
houses in desirable PORTIONS of the town.
The demand is for small houses and
mostly comes from workingmen. The
cause of this demand is supposed to be on
account Of the number of railroad en-
ployes who have been forced to make
Roanoke their headquarters since the re-
divisioning of the road.

TARIFF REFORM.
CONGRESS TO BE ASKED TO AP-
POINT A COMMISSION,
With a View of Permanently Remov.
ing the Whole Question From
Party Politics.

WASHINGTON, May IA determin-
ed effort is being made to induce Con-
gress to appoint a permanent tariff
commission, with q view of removing
the whole tariff question from politics.
Archer, the Secretary of the Tariff
Committee of a league composed of
500 organizations and 5000 manufac-
turers, is here pushing the movement.
Representative Fowler of New Jer-
sey will on Monday introduce a bill
providing for permanent tariff COM
mission.
1t is said that the people back of the
movement have not shown their full
strength. They assert that the bulk of
the American people are thoroughly
disgusted and tired of having the tar
iff tinkered with every four years. Be-
cause of the constant changes made
and the fear of further changes capital
becomes frightened and business men
do not know where they are at.
When the bill comes up the men who
oppose it will be marked for popular
disapproval at the next election.
There is strong talk in the House that
unless the Senate retraces there is
great danger that no tariff bill will be
passed this session.
In reply to inquiries as to his views
on a permanent tariff commission, Sem
ator CullOm has written the following
letter to Samuel B. Archer, Secretary
of the Tariff Commission League, New
ark, n. j.: Il believe that through the
judicious agency Of a permanent tariff
commission, composed of experts, sta
tisticians and business men, changes
could be made from year to year by
Congress as might be indicated and
clearly shown to be wise. This would
save the necessity of requiring
change on the whole tariff system by
whatever party came into power. Ger
tainly We cannot continue indefinitely
as we have been doing with reference
to that subject, because the business
of the country will not tolerate it. l
hope sincerely that this Congress may
provide for some kind of a commission
which will aid in changing the situa-
ton, and / should be glad if an amend
ment were to be incorporated in the
bill now before the Senate, known as
the Dingley BILL"

kinds of conjectures. A gentleman who
is in a position to judge said: In my
opinion it is a good safe bet that the
foreclosure of the Union Pacific will not
take place this year. l understand that
Master in Chancery Cornish has been in
New York taking testimony from hold
ers of various liens against the Union
Pacific, other than that of the Govern
ments. 1t will be some time before the
Master will give his report on the cases
to the court. Even if these reports We're
accepted by all parties concerned, and
at once confirmed by the Federal Courts,
it would take month or more. but it is
pretty well understood that there will
be protests from the holders of certain
liens. There are even those who are
almost willing to wager that the fore
closure sale of the Union Pacific will
never take place at all. The receivership
may, they argue, be terminated within
a year, or possibly somewhat less time,
but the road will be operated by the
owners in the way they think most pro-
fitable."

INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL.
COnferrees of the House and Senate
Reach an Agreement.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Con-
ference Committee Of the Senate and
House reached an agreement on the In
dian appropriation bill to-day The diff
ference on the Senate amendment for
opening the Uncompahgre Reservation
has been reconciled on the basis of
provision for leasing the gilsonite lands
instead of the purchase of them.
The compromise agreement author
ICES any person to take one claim on
lease and hold it in perpetuity upon
the payment of a royalty of % cents a
ton on gilsonite mined. A provision
against trusts was inserted upon mo-
ton Of Senator PettigreW. This pro-
vision forfeits to the Government the
claims of holders who enter into COM
bination to limit the production or raise
the price of gilsOnite. The Seneca oil
lease is confirmed, and one additional
Judge allowed the Indian Territory.

MARK HANNA BREAKS DOWN.
THE SENATOR SUCCUMBS TO AN
ATTACK OF VERTIGO.
His Illness Due to the Strain of PoIiti-
cal Life-WilI Go to Cleveland
for a Needed Rest.

WASHINGTON, May THE first
victim scored by the onrush of the
army of office-seekers is no less a per-
son than Mark Hanna himself, and the
Junior Senator, after standing the
strain Of a long political campaign, has
broken down under the rush of appli-
cants for office. Following out this
plan of campaign, Mr.. Hanna has kept
open house at the national headquar-
ters in the Glover building. at his
apartments in the Arlington, and even
at the Senate itself. From early in the
morning until late at night. the appli-
cants for office have camped upon his
trail, and the most humble of them
have succeeded in gaining access to the
all-powerful Chairman.
Mr.. Hanna has been engaged not only
in looking after the preliminaries of his
own Senatorial campaign in Ohio. but
also in adjusting differences in other
States, and in fulfilling multifarious
vague promises made. But mortal flesh
and blood were not made to bear up
successfully against the persistent de-
mands Of the hungry hordes of office
seekers. The result has been that Mr..
Hanna, who is the picture of health.
has at last broken down under the
strain.
While at the office of the National
Committee yesterday he was seized
with a vertigo which prostrated him
for a short time. That was not seri-
Gus attack. being in every respect like
one with which he was visited in Cleve-
land during the early days of the cam
paign last summer. The usual restora-
tives were applied. and Mr.. Hanna. in
spite of the protests of friends and ply
sicians, was driven to the Senate cham
Der to cast his vote in favor of the ar
bitration treaty
When this duty was ACCOMPLISHED
Senator Hanna returned to the hotel
He was obliged to keep to his room un
til late in the afternoon, but announced
to his close friends that he had deter
mined to go back to Cleveland to-mor-
row or Saturday When he arrives at
| his home he expects to be able to take a
needed rest for a week or so.
The prostration which came here is
not serious one in any sense. but is
the direct result of overwork His ply
sicians have warned him that he can
mot continue to hold conversation with
tall office-seekers. He will leave Wash
Eington temporarily, but will return in
Iplenty of time to participate in the
Elong tariff struggle in the Senate.

Dispute with Retail Merchants' Assoc
citation over Picnic Events-Asso-
ciated Cycle CIubs-NOtes.

The L. A. w. racing board, through it's
local member, Herbert H. Foltz is having
some trouble with the Retail Merchants
Association on account of the latter's in
tention to hold unsanctoned bicycle races
at it's annual picnic next week. There are
several races on the programme, and
among them is one for ladies. The rules of
the l.. A. w. require that all race meets
shall secure the sanction of the league, and
prohibit ladies' races. Mr.. Foltz yesterday
called the attention of Secretary Thomas,
of the grocers' association to these things,
but Mr.. Thomas seemed to be of the opin-
ion that his association did not care for
a little thing like sanction. The races
would probably be contested for only by
members of the association. chiefly grocers'
clerks, and they were not members of the
L. A. W., and did not care what the rules
of that organization provided.
The regulation of racing by the L. A. w.
was misunderstood in this case as it usual
ly is by persons not familiar with racing
matters. The l.. A w. controls racing in
the same manner that horse-racing asso-
Citations control horse racing. If the owner
of a horse violates certain rules on one
track his horse is disqualified on all others.
For some violations the man himself might
be barred from entering any horses in races
run under the rules of that association.
Again, a track might be blacklisted, and
then no reputable racing man would allow
his horses to start on the track, for both
horse and man would be barred every
where else.
Somebody has to control bicycle racing,
and by common consent the L. A. w. is
doing it. All the rules do not suit every
body, but almost everybody accepts them
because they apply to all alike. The grocers
may not care If they are suspended from
other racing tracks, for they do not want
to race. They do not care if the. fair
grounds track should be blackhsted, for
that does not concern them. But the fact
that the grocers do not get sanction from
the l.. A. w. will prevent any riders who
care for the rules of the l.. A. w. from
entering the race. And if the track is
blacklisted it may prevent the Young Mems
Institute giving bicycle races at its annual
picnic July 5.
Mr. Foltz had a talk yesterday afternoon
with Secretary Kennedy, of the State Board
of Agriculture, and the latter agreed to
see Mr.. Thomas and try to settle the
trouble by having the grocers secure
sanction and run the meet under l.. A. w.
