Smalley adds: The president Is for tho
treaty as originally presented TO the sem

affecting Its efficiency. He showed real
interest and knowledge OF foreign Affairs
and does not intend to make any new de-
parture In regard To cuba. He Is still 4

that circumstances have altered and there
will be no return to the tariff of 1890. lie

his duty regarding the bimetallic confer

and exhaust all means to secure an inter-

THE TARIFF BILL.
Chairman Dingley Discusses the Measure
and Points to It's Beauties.

Washington, March l5.-Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means com
mittee, in response to the request that
he furnish a Synopsis of the new tariff
bill presented by him to-day. made the
following statement:
The bill has two purposes, namely.
TO raise additional revenue and tn en-
courage the industries of the United
States. on the basis of the importa-
tions for the last fiscal wear. the bill
would Increase the revenue about sll2.-
100000. divided among the several
soedules roughly. as follows: Chemi-
calls. 81. 800 900: crockery and glassware.
81. 900. 900: metals. 81 900 600: wood. 81
10000; sugar. sci. 10000; tobacco. So
000. 900; agricultural. s6.30O.O00: liquors,
81. 500. 900: cotton. 81. 100000 jute. linen
and hemp. S.. 500 900; woods. 81. SOC, 600:
manufactures Of wool. 81 .0O0. 900: silks.
81 500, 900: pulp and paper. s5s,0o0; sun
dries. Sc. 200. 900.
This estimate Is on the supposition
that the imports of each class of goods
would be the same the next fiscal year
as in the fiscal year ended last June.
The wool imports were three times as
great and those of manufacturers more
than twice as great in pounds as in
1893. the committee assume that the
excessive importation would be largely
reduced by the proposed hill. although
the fact that our domestic production
OF wool has diminished 100000 pounds
since 1893, will necessitate the impo.'a-

DRIFTING SN OW.
Branch Roads Completely Tied Up In the
Northwest.

Northwest.
st. Paul. March ij.-Never before In the
history of the Northwest have railroads
had so much to contend against because
of drifting snow. 1t Is stated there are
2oo cars of freight at initial points and
elsewhere destined for towns off the main
lines in the Dakotas and Minnesota that
cannot reach their destination until the
branch lines are opened. IL Is stated there
Is suffering In South Dakota by reason
OF the branch lines being closed. In that
state over 500 miles of road have been
practically abandoned for fully two weeks.
Nearly all of this mileage is on the branch
lines OF the Milwaukee system and North
western. Part of il belongs TO the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. Many
towns in South Dakota have had no mail
for some time, 10 say nothing OF freight
and passenger traffic. Through trains on
the main lines of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern and the 500 are run
ming, but are from two TO seven hours
late. These lines are concentrating their
efforts to keep the coast lines open.
Memphis. Tenn, March l5.-Rain he
gan falling here shortly after Z o'clocl,
and Is coming down In torrents. adding
10 the misery and suffering already
caused by the overflowing streams. a
citizens relief committee has been or
ganized. Hundreds of head of stock
and many men, women and children
have been rescued from houses and
tree tops in the overflowed districts
and brought to this city by harbor tow
boats with barges attached. The gauge
reads 1858 feet, a rise of one foot in "A
hours. and indications point toward q
further rise.
News comes to-day of the partial
breaking of the st. Francis levee, 80
miles above Memphis. Steamer cap
tains say great additional suffering
and loss will result.
The break at st. Francis levee at No
dena, Ark, was more serious than first
reported. The water has a fall of -
feet and rushed upon the people living
in the low lands behind the levee in an
almost solid wall. Ii Is expected many
lives will be lost. The city of Osceola
saved many people washed out Of
homes by water which went through
every Crevasse.
Nashville. Tenn, March 15.-The
Cumberland river reached AZ feet on
the gauge here to-day. Forty feet Is
the danger line. The low lands about
the city arc submerged and many cell
lars in business houses are filled with
water. Families in the threatened dis
tricts are moving out and merchants
are taking their goods to second floors.
The river will certainly reach 45 fee.
and possibly AZ feet.

Helena, March l5.-The supreme
court to-day, In an opinion by Justice
Buck. reversed Judge Benton OF the
district court of Cascade county In the
suit ~ the Pabst Brewing company
against the Montana Brewing company
OF Great Falls, involving 10000 shares
OF the latter company's stock. The suit
grew out Of controversy between A.
+. Schmitz and the Montana Brewing
company Scmitz was to receive 5000
shares OF the company's stock, when ne
delivered the deed from the townsite
company for the lot on which the brew
cry was to be built. The lot cost s5.00a
and Schmitz was To deliver the deed as
soon as possible. Schmitz paid all but
s52t OF the amount on the lot. The bal
ance was paid to the Townsite COM
pany by the Montana Brewing conf
pany. Four thousand shares OF the
stock We're delivered to Schmitz, and
the balance held out. In the mean
time Schmitz had assigned the stock To
the Pabst Brewing company which
offered the Montana company the bal
ance due on the lots from Schmitz for
the remaining 1000 shares. The COM
pany refused To give them up and q
suit resulted. Judge Benton held that
the Pabst company was entitled to the

supreme court reversed Judgment.
holding that Schmitz forfeited his
claim to the stock by not securing the
deed to the lot. as stipulated in the
agreement.
The contest instituted in the supreme
court by Charles W. Pomeroy against
Judge ID. r. smith, involving the
judgeship of the Eleventh judicial dis
trict, was dropped to-day. Attorneys

gan and Brennan for Smith. presented
in court this morning stipulation
stating that both sides would agree to
pay their share OF the costs provided
the action was dismissed. The court
accordingly made the usual order and
the case was wiped from the docket. Ii
Is supposed that Judge Pomcroy was
led To give up the contest because of
recent decisions of the supreme court
involving election contests.

Upon the arrival of two afternoon

that there were 1900 strangers in town.
The special was not as large as had

three or four women. Included were
some Of the men noted In the sporting
