BLAKELEY LOOKING INTO 1T.
Thinks River Improvement Should
Develop Power for St, Paul.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Capt Rus
sell Blakeley was one of the first
callers at the war department this
morning. He was accompanied by Rep
resentative Stevens, and they were in
consultation some time with Col Nc
Kenzie, chief of engineers. Capt. Blake
ley says his object was to ascertain the
exact status of the Mississippi river
Improvement between the Twin Cities.
He said:
Senator Nelson is in a position to do us a
great deal of good. He is chairman Of the
committee on Mississippi river improvements
and in that capacity will be able to get at the
bottom facts in connection with the creation
of water power, such as is now being Wig
orously advocated by our people in st. Paul.
We are much interested in this matter and
take the position that if a great amount Of
money is to be expended there should be wa
ter power developed that will be of great ben
eft to the cities. Minneapolis seems only to
want slack water navigation to that city. 1
cannot see that the proposition, now under
consideration, and for which there is some
money available, is practical. 1t contemplates
the expenditure Of over 50, 600 900, and when
completed, it is our contention that Mime
Rpolis will be the beneficiary l know there
is great difference of opinion in relation to
this, but am here to ascertain just what is
being done

SUMMER TOURIST RATES.
Schedule Put Into Effect by the
Union Pacific.

CHICAGO, May 15-For several
weeks the Western roads have had the
question of summer tourist rates under
consideration, but the rate clerks have
been unable to agree upon the rates
which should be made effective to Col
Orado points. The Missouri Pacific has
grown tired Of waiting for the rate
clerks to make decision and has
taken the matter into its own hands.
1t has announced that it will put It's
schedule of rates to the disputed terri
tory into effect at once. This action
has had the effect Of fastening action
by the other roads, and the chairman
of the Western Passenger association
has called a meeting Of the trans-M Mis-
Bouri lines to be held at st. Louis next
"Wednesday to consider the entire mat
ter and decide upon some plan Of
: action, by which the rates can be made
effective throughout the entire terri
tory of the Western Passenger associ-

CLARK'S DEAD BODY
Points to a Case of Murder or Sui
eide.

~ - OtaBc VI MuIUeE OF SUI
MILWAUKEE,, May 15.-The dead
body of B. Clark, of Grand Rapids.
Mich, member of the Michigan Bank
and Lumber company. was found on
one Of the residence streets along the
lake shore this morning. There were
two bullet wounds, and revolver was
found at his side Diamonds and
jewelry were found on his person, but
no money. The location of the wounds
makes it rather doubtful whether it is
case of suicide. 3 When Clark left
bis hotel last evening he said he was
going for walk. He was fifty years
old.
It is believed that Clark was the vic
tim Of thugs, as one Of the bullets en-
tered his back and his own, revolver
has been found in his valise. The
Masonic fraternity. of which Clark
was popular member, will probe the
mystery to the bottom and bring the
murderer to justice If possible The
body was found in the rear Of Ivanhee

DAVIS MONUMENT.
The Plan Is to Outrival the Grant
Tomb in New York.

Tomb in New York.
RICHMOND, Va, May 15-An am
titious Southerner has mapped out
plan which has been approved and in
dorsed by many ex-Confederates
whereby he thinks 100000 can be
raised to erect the Jefferson DAVIS
monument in this city. His name is
P. S. Boisseau, former tobacconist
and now sheriff Of Danville, Virginia.
He is pleading with his former COM
rades in the Confederate service and
with the Southern people generally to
exert themselves to make the Davis
monument grander in its magnifcence
and more costly than the tomb of
Grant. Boisseau has a plan which he
thinks can be worked successfully. He
offers to head list of Virginians TO
give $500 each. He thinks 100 moro
can be found who would give $50 each.
and so on down to the SIS class.
He estimates that 100000 could be
raised in Virginia by compact organ
ization, and that if the plan is tried in
each Of the other Southern states,
which he believes will be done, $1,000
900 could be secured outside of the

SCHEDULE AMENDMENTS,
They VIII BE offered by the Demo
cratic Senator's.

WASHINGTON, May 15-The Demo-
cratic members of the senate commit
tee on finance were in consultation
for two hours today on the tariff bill
They decided not to order a substi-
tute for the finance committee bill, but
to propose amendments which, while
they will reduce the rates would, if
added to the rates of the Wilson law
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
demands Of the government. They re-
gard the committees bill as a revenue
producer, and calculate that even
without the proposed beer tax and
tariff duty, it would bring a surplus
Into the treasury. On the other hand,
they regard the house bill as nearly
prohibitive on many of the schedules,
and think that on this account it would
be deficient in the production of reve-
nue.. The Democratic members are es-
pecially critical Of the sugar, glass and
wool schedule and expect to offer
amendments on all Of them None Of

thinks if the Southern people can be
made to realize that in very short
time they could dedicate here monu-

nificent than Grants tomb the scheme
would easily succeed. 1t is his wish
and purpose to try to fire their hearts
with enthusiasm in this work. The

that message on the Cuban situation

dent next Monday. 1t will deal specifi-
cally with the question Of the depri-
vations to which American citizens are
subjected in Cuba, and 1t is understood
that it will recommend an appropria-
ton for their relief.
There is considerable talk about what
may be done with the message when
it reaches the house Of representatives.
Ordinarily such message would be re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-
fairs, but now there is no such COM
mittee. The message and any resolu-
ton concerning it could be considered
by unanimous consent, but this is not
likely to be given. 1t Is possible that
the committee on rules may wait to
see If any disposition is made of the
message in the senate and then ar
range a special order for its consid-
Grafton in the house. Today the man
ayers Of the house had not come to
any conclusion about the matter, say
ing that the message had not yet ar
rived, and that its contents should best
be known before any definite determi-
nation was arrived at relative to it's

THE NEW TARIFF.

The needs of the country, and the I'M
settled condition of affairs generally,
should urge upon congress the necessity
of final settlement of the tariff question
at the earliest possible moment. There
can be no good excuse for further delay.
Ample time has been given both houses
of congress- for consideration of this
important subject. Many other impor-
tant matters de handing the attention OF
congress have been held in allegiance that
the Dingley bill might be put in effect at
an early day. This diligence should be
continued to the end, and not single
hour should be wasted, for good many
industries are practically at a standstlll,
waiting patiently for the final action of
congress on measure of first impor
tanoe to the whole country. The leading
proteotionists of the country are agreed,
that the interests of protection in general
would have been better subserved, could
the Dinghy bill have gone into effect as
it left the house Of representatives. 1t
logically follows that there has been a
considerable waste of time already.
However this may be, there can be no
excuse for further delay in the matter.

The SUGAR SCHEDULE.

The senate Of the United States seems
to be still under the domination of men
who are interested in Sugar refining. The
sugar schedule of the senate tariff bill
gives the sugar refiners Just about the
same protection that they enjoy under
the present law. One of the best points
in the Dingley bill, was its reduction in
the differential between raw and refined
sugars. 1t gave the sugar refiners IN adj
vantage of only three-hundredths of a
cent pound. The senate committees
revision OF the bill provides for over
third of cent more duty on refined than
on raw sugar. That is one feature Of the
revised bill which the house of represen-
tatives certainly cannot afford to accept.
1t is remarkable circumstance that the
senate committee should reduce the aver
age protective rates of the bill, and yet
single out this one article for large in
crease in protective duty. When the
Gorman.Vest crowd tackled to the Wilson
law high protective duty on refined su-
gar the country was not surprised. just
that sort of thing was to be expected from
such senator's. But why should Senators
Aldrlch and Allison permit such an out
ragef Are there so many senators inter-
ested in sugar refining that these Repub-
lican leaders recognized the impossibility
of putting bill through without giving
the sugar refining companies the priv
lege of collecting extraordinary profits
from the people?
The question naturally suggests itself
as to how long the highest legislative
body in the country is to remain at the
feet of the sugar combine humbly asking
show shall we serve your"
The country expected better things of
the present senate, but it has been doomed
to disappointment, as it has been upon
previous occasions when the question at
issue was between the interests of power
