No RrsHING II THE SENATE

The Republican members OF the sub
committee of the Finance Committee
of the Senate having charge of the
Dingley bill. want to report the meas
IRE direct from the subcommittee TO
the open Senate. The Democrats have
declined 70 agree to this plan, so the
bill will have to be reported to the full
committee for debate. AS Senator
White. speaking for the Democrats,
saws. when the bill is reported to the
Senate the Democratic members ought
to be able to Immediately lay before
their colleagues a comparatively full
statement of the infirmities Of the pro-
posed measure. This cannot be done
unless the subject is properly discussed
in committees, and if examined there
with care much labor will be saved
when the proposition is submitted TO
the Senate. If the Democratic members
are of any use on the committee II
must be because they will be able 10
give this information. Besides, fair
presentation of the views of the minor
itv NAV lead TO immediate changes in
Improvement of the bill" Mr.. White
further points out that the Republican
members of the finance committee have
had the bill since it passed the House
and that the minority have interposed
no obstruction and have not been in
position TO intelligently examine sim
gle schedule and this situation will not
be altered until the details of the meas
ure are disclosed. do not complain OF
the delay. Thus far there has been no
real debate on the bill and while / am
most anxious to see this session closed,
know that quite a time will be neces-
sarily consumed in legitimate discus

EWING EROS.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Democratic Members Of the Senate
will Insist Upon Full Opportunity
for Considering 1t.

Washington, April 27.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Finance
Committee to-day followed up their re-
fusal of yesterday to allow the tarlH
bill to be reported direct to the Senate
with the announcement that they
would expect to be given opportunity
for a thorough examination OF all
schedules of the bill as amended, before
il is reported to the Senate. They have
already employed one expert and Will
employ others to take up the bill in
their behalf as soon as it is presented 10
them. They expect TO be able to eX-
anime the bill sufficiently to permit 1t
to 90 to the Senate in about two weeks
time after they receive it.
The Republicans think they discover
in the present attitude OF their Demo-
cratic colleagues a disposition to delay
the passage of the bill, which they had
not previously counted upon, and are
making preparations for long siege in
the Senate as well as in committee.
Some of them express the fear that the
bill will not become a law before the
first of August.

Yesterday the Grant memorial mon
ument on the bank of the beautiful
Hudson. was dedicated amid unexam-
pied splendor. pomp and pageantry. 1t
is the most imposing mausoleum in the
country. outranking in elaborate de-
sign and ornamentation even the Wash
ington monument at the capital.
Many. however, prefer the simple
grandeur Of the latter. The Grant
monument is fitting mark of the ma
tons appreciation of one Of its greatest
soldiers and grandest characters.
1t will be long ere the country wit
ness another scene of such eXtraordi-
nary impressiveness. The American
metropolis yesterday was one vast
mass of decoration carried out with
great elaborateness and producing a
grand effect. Over a million people
viewed the mighty pageant from the
sidewalks. All the dIgnltaries of the
government were there, while MANY
States and cities were officially
represented. Foreign nations, all
of whom held Grant in high
est esteem. were represented by
their ministers, while their mighty
warships participated in the naval pa
rade. which was a grand and imposing
scene. The military parade exceeded
anything since the grand review at the
close OF the war at the national capital.
1t was. altogether, a rare and impos-
! ing spectacle and fitting tribute OF
undying love from a great nation to
the memory of one of its greatest heroes.

THE SURPLUS FOR CHARITY
Many Organizations Appealing to
the Inaugural Committee.
Strong Sentiment in Favor of the
Children's Country Home and
Florence Crittenton Mission.

Notwithstanding the fact that Chairman
Bell, Of the inaugural executive committee,
is in Flolida, and that there will be no
meeting OF his committee until his return,
there is good deal of activity among va
rious interests seeking all or a share OF
the surplus. The disposition of this sur
plus was one of the questions which the
executive committee did not care TO take
up at its last meeting, having deferred
action 10 the final meeting OF that body.
The general question was discussed, but
No recommendations were made.
Applications for the fund, or any part
OF 1t, have already been made, and as late
as yesterday letters were received by mem
bers Of the finance committee from organ
iZatiOns and individuals, asking for appro-
priations in their behalf. The amount to
be distributed will scarcely exceed Sc 900,
as il viii require 81 GOO to meet all of the
remaining bills and expense OF the in
auguration, the whole surplus being about
$1,000.
There are two especially strong inter
ests at work TO secure this fund, one being
the military, who are anxious to have Il
as the beginning of a fund TO be raised
as an inducement to Con gTess to build
National Guard armory, which could, OF
course, be used for government purposes,
as, for instance, the inaugural ball. TIE
other suggested appropriation is for char
liable purposes.
The most influential member Of the com
mittee, discussing the probable action Of
the committee last night, said that while
all Of the members saw the advisability OF
some such building as that contemplated
by the military men, it was not likely that
the committee would consider the surplus
large enough to invite the special attention
Of members of Congress. Such building
as is contemplated would cost notless than
$500, 600 or perhaps $780, 900, and one
half OF this would be required of the citi-
zens Of Washington. He had no doubt that
in due time the proposition would ma teridl-
ize, and that if the various surplus fun.ls If
the past had been set apart for this pur-
pose. it might be a probability today

VICTIM OF DRINK
George williams Had the Horrors
Before He Was Fourteen.

A colored youth, who was a confirmed
drunkard, and had the delirium tTemeEs
with all its horrors before he was fourteen
years of age, was arrested in the Baltimore
Ohio freight yards by Special Police
man Walker this morning for stealing coal
from the cars there. His name is George
Williams, nineteen years OF age, but he Is
familiarly known as Chick
Policeman Mansfield said Chick was
brought TO No 6 station five years ago, when
he was lot yet fourteen, suffering from n
fully developed case of the dreaded mania.
He imagined that gigantic spiders with
red bodies and yellow legs, and writlling
snakes and lizards of many bright hues
were pursuing him, and his shrieks and
groans could be heard a long distance.
This morning Williams was on the verge
of the horrors when arrested. He was
quivering and shaking ike a nan On steel
springs as result OF his debauch, and no
doubt stole the coal to procure money
for more strong drink. Although not yet
a man, Williams is physical wreck from
intemperance.
