Committee Stage.

| WASHINGTON. May 1.-Senator
Jones, of Nevada, the Independent
member of the senate committee on
finance, spent several hours with Sem
ators Allison and Aldrich, representing
iff, today He went over the bill with
them and suggested changes where he
was not satisfied with the existing pro-
visions. No statement of the Nevada
| senator's position was authorized, but
it Is understood that the Republican
members feel more certain of his CO.
operation since today's interview than
heretofore. They are, indeed, quite con-
fdent Of it. He assured them that he
was still a protectioniSt and anxious
to support the bill, but told them he
would have to insist upon certain con-
cessions to- Western interests. He sub
mitted a number of amendments, Iro-
viding for slightly advanced rates en-
thlrd-class woods, on citrous fruits,
poraX, ETC., and was assured that these
matters should have the committees
best consideration. The committee now
believe that besides his support of the
bill they will have Senator Jones' as
sistance in getting out of the committee
| promptly. Mr.. Jones declines to make
a statement for publication
Senator Jones presented the demands
not of his own state alone, but most of
the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
states. He asked for an increase of
the duty on third-class woods begin
ming at cents pound for the poorer
qualities, and adding one-half of a
cent Mound Cd
| of selling value, but agreed to a slight
reduction on first and second-class
woods. There is good reason to believe
that changes will be made in accor-
dance with these suggestions. If car
ried into effect they would result in
putting duty of or ~ cents a pound
on the more valuable of third-class
| wools.
He also asked the committee to stand
by it's decision for duty of ~
cents pound on hides, and for liz
cents on lead ore. He suggested,
at the instance of the sugar beet grow
ers, duty of 1 cent pound on sugar
testing 70 by the polariscope and adding
sufficient for each additional degree to
bring the rate up to ~ cents for sugar
testing 80 degrees, with one-eighth of
cent off on sugars imported from
countries having a reciprocity agree
ment with the United States. He also
suggested the following changes in the
first schedule of the bill: Increasing
boraclc acid from 8 to 5 cents per
pound; soda from three-fourths of a
| cent to l cent pound; caustic soda
/ from one-half to 1 cent per pound;
| syllcate Of soda from three-eighths to
half-cent per pound. He proposed the
| following substitute for paragraph 10,
in regard to borax: "Borax, cents per
pound; borates of lime or soda, or other
bcrate material not otherwise provided
for, containing more than SO per cent of
| anhydrous boracic acid, 4 cents per
pound; borates of lime or soda, or other
borate material not otherwise provided
for, containing not more than Sc per
cent of anhydrous boracic acid, cents

ST. PETER IS BENEFITED.
Monitor Makes IL Kick and Rates
Are Reduced.

5 Gen. George L. Becker. of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission, has been
carrying on a correspondence with the editor
of the St. Peter Monitor relative to an in
formal complaint that the commission was
somewhat lax in it's duties. Some time ago
it appears that the st. Peter Monitor com
planned of the apparent discrimination against
that city in the matter of railway rates. 1t
was alleged that, although St. Peter was no
further from Chicago than Mankato
the rates charged by the Chicago & North
western to ST. Peter were higher than those
to Mankato. Recently President Thornton
of the Rank Of Benson, was in st. Paul and
showed Gen. Becker a copy of the ST. Peter
Monitor, which contained the article. Gen.
Becker rather took exceptions to the article,
believing that the commission had shirked
no duty at all, in view of the fact that no
formal complaint had been filed with that
body. However, the commission wrote to
the Northwestern Railroad company, inclos-
ing copy of the Monitor and its complaint.
The Northwestern railroad Immediately cor
rected the difference in its rates between Chi
cago and Mankato and Chicago and st. Peter,
and now the people of the latter city are
happy. The st. Peter Monitor exonerates
the commission from the charge of neglect.

of the person described therein would only
be known to the chief Of the bureau and to

words. 1t would be strictly professional Sc
cret. In one sense, too, these passports would
only be of scientific interest, for it Is not
suggested that they should be brought into
use In the case Of persons about to marry.
Without the aid of these telltale documents,
however, 1t is difficult to see how persons APP
plying for a divorce or for pecuniary damn
ages In the case Of sickly children could ala
ways substantiate their claims.
DR.. Toulouse, SO far as l can learn, does

Shortly before the revolution, when
the air was heavily charged with fore
bodings of the approaching struggle.
old Mai. Putnam happened to be in
Boston, says Harper's Round Table
The major disliked the red coats. and
sometimes inveighed against their ar
rogant Superciliousness in no gentle
terms. One day an officer of his
majesty's regulars overheard Putnam
assert that the provincial army, I'M
tutored in arms as they We're, would
fight with the courage of trained
sertion, and, after some hot words,
challenged the major. to a duel, pro-
vided he dare to fight.

one key. 1 on the other a slow fuse
to be attached to each. and the one
who holds out the longest shall be
declared the winner"
There was nothing for the officer to
do but accept the unusual weapons,
and on the following day at the ap-
pointed time and place the conbatants
took their seats upon the kegs of gun
powder. The fuses were lighted and
began suffering, rapidly approaching
the kegs. The officer was deadly pale,
and watched the growing danger with
dilated eyes. At last he could stand
1t no longer, and with leap he left
his key and raced like q mailman out

fuse away and disclosed to his friends

To Reform
Marriage.

DR.. Toulouse, Of Paris, is certainly
a man Of original ideas. Quite recently
he startled Europe by his audacious
book on lola, and now he comes for
ward with an extraordinary PROPOSE
ton in regard to the time-honored
institution of marriage. Here are his
views on the subject: Persons Of weak
constitutions, or who have any disease
lurking in their system, he says, and
especially those suffering from con-
sumption, epilepsy, a cancerous growth,
mental imbecility or alcoholism, fire.
quently have sickly or badly formed
children, who are stamped with the
physical or moral blemishes of their
parents, from the evil effects Of which
they are wholly unable to escape. Still
this form of Ileredity, though ex-
tremely frequent, is not fatal; it as
sumes the most unexpected DISCUSSES,
and hence the malady inherited by the
child sometimes differs very much
from that which aff1icts the father.
For this reason it Is impossible to
frame a law prohibiting certain classes
Of persons in modern society from
marrying. And yet, asks Dr. Toulouse,
is it not deplorable to see so many I'M
happy persons born daily into the
world, who are doomed by their very
origin to be degenerates? He has been
brooding over this subject for some
time, and now comes forward with a
remedy.
Marriage, he points out, Is simply
a contract the object of which is to
insure the perpetuity and prosperity
of the human race. This contract
then, considered from purely sanitary
point of view, should always be made
in good faith. Health is a more inn
portant factor in married life than
money, and the man who conceals from
his intended bride the existence of any
hereditary, and presumably any. &C
quired, disease is as guilty. Of a breach
of truth as though he were to conceal
from her the fact that he was on the
verge Of bankruptcy
In common justice, then, says DIR.
Toulouse, the marriage contract should
| be reversible in all cases where there
is any deception in the matter Of
disease. and divorce should promptly
be granted. Only in this way can we
children and prosperous society.
But he goes even further. If husband or

WASHINGTON, May lin compl;-
Rnce with the request of the executive
committee of the Nashville centennial,
the president opened the exposition by
wire from the White house at 1:13
O'Clock today. The arrangements were
very simple in detail The circuit was
made up by the Western Union officials,
under tie supervision of Mr.. Mont
gomery, executive clerk in charge OF
telegraph, and of Manager Marean,
OF the Western Union. The wires were
made direct to Nashville by way OF
Richmond, Va, and AsheviHe N. c.,
Tepeaters being used at the former
place. TIE circuit was little over
700 miles in length. Immediately upon
the completion of the circuit into the
exposition grounds the president was
notified by Secretary Porter, and at
once walked across the hall to the tel
egraph room, where, under the guild
pnce of MIR. Montgomery, he stepped UP
to the desk, placed his finger on the
Morse key and slightly depressed it,
which action instantly gave the sig
nal to the Nashville end, and put in
motion the wheels of the exposition.

CHICAGO. May There is chance that
the Eastern roads WILL in the near future,
have large row over the question OF extra

bilt reads have all along demanded that there
should be no extra fare on ordinarily fast
trains but the board of arbitration or the
Joint Traffic association ruled against them,
and the roads then demanded that the charge
should be made from all competing points.
The board Of arbitration agreed with the
Vanderbilt roads and so ordered. 1t is al
together likely that the other roads will make
a strong fight to have matters kept as they
now are, and the chances for row seem
excellent
The presidents Of the Western roads will
hold a meeting during next week. for the
purpose CT injecting little more starch into
the Western freight rates. There has not
been the boom in business that some of roads
were looking for. and few OF them nave
been hustling for the business in manner
that is calculated to bring them traffic, but
at the same time play havoc with the rate
sheet. The decentralization has not as yet
become very great and the executive officers
Of the Western roads are determined to stop
the matter before it grows worse.
Western roads have practically agreed upon
rates, stop-overs and other arrangements for
