THE Tariff BILL IN TIM
SENATE

The senate committee on finance
having the tariff bill now under
consideration report that as The
bill is SO crude and will REQUIRE
such extensive amendment they
will not be able to renort it to the
senate before May l.
They have found it necessary
to rewrite the administrative clau.
ses of the bin they were so defec-
tive as they were passed by the
house. Only two schedules, chem
ica!s and cottons, have been thus
far disposed Of. None of the moro
puzzling schedules, such as wool,
sugar, hides &C., have been touch
ed rs they will be the last to re
revised. The German government
has protested against the duty on
sugar, claiming that such duty is
a violation of the Foster Mumm
agreement of 1891 and threatening
to shut American pork out Of
Germany if the proposed duty on
sugar is imposed.
Senator Chandler does not hes
itate to declare that ifthe present
pressure for high duties continues
it may prevent the passage of the
bill through the senate, There is a
demand for an increase in the
wool duties from 5 and 6 cents a
pound to 10 and II. The western
senators have combined to secure
high duties on wool, hides, coal
lead ore, as their section is large
ly interested in these articles.
California will attempt to secure
high duties ON fruit as to exclude
all foreign fruit. In the face of
all this the senate is expected by
the democrats to make a general
reduction Of all duties. The re-
publicans intend giving the west
ern senator's important committee
appointments in order to secure
their votes on the tariff bill and to
induce them TO withdraw their de-
mands for higher rates.

IN OUTSIDE OPINION.


That Bay st. Louis will have
the proposed improvements and
for which the issue Of $4,000
worth of bonds will be issued, is
now a foregone conclusion. The
community, save little opposition,
is unanimous in the approval of
the proposition and its success is
only matter of time. These
improvements can we'll be consld-
cred the redemption of the place
from any lethargic influence that
might exist. Already the matter
is attracting widespread atten-
ton and gratifying it is to see the
numerous and complimentary
comments the issue has incurred.
The following, from the Ocean
Springs Progress, is fair sample:
Bay St. Louis is awakening to the
fac. that it must stir itself if it would
keep up with the rapid growth Of
other coast towns. Az the monthly
meeting of the city council last week,
the preliminary steps were taken to
bond the town for 100000, the
amount to be used in wiping out the
town indebtedness aud building an
electric light plant, water works
system, and public market. The
bonds are to run twenty years at s
per cent interest. After a careful cal
culation it has been ascertained that
there will be no increase Of taxation
as a result, the income to be derived
from the electric lights, water works
and market, being much more than
the operating expenses and interest
will amount to.
The people of Bay st. Louis and
the council which has taken the in
itiatory steps are TO be. congratulated
for their wise and public spirited ac-
tlons. For il is a wise move end
will rebound to great good to the
city and the peoplee living therin.
Other cities along the coast would
do well to initiate the action of Bay
st. Louis, among the number our
own little city of Ocean Springs.

TIVE FLOOD DISASTER.

The situation of the Mississippi
river along the Mississippi and
Louisiana banks is anything but
encouraging, and it would seem
that what levees and banks re-
main in tact are taxed to their
utmost power in staying the mad
rush of the swelling waters.
The river is now higher than at
any known time, and its volume
continues to expand. The breaks
that have already occurred have
caused severe trials over that

The Gulf Coast Progress favors
the proposed bond issue as the
appended will show.
That the scheme is practical
one is apparent to the most obtuse
mind after q little time is spent
in calculating the income to be
derived from the several sources.
The bonds can be issued and paid
without the levy of one additional
cent to the present rate of taxa
ton, which alone should commend
the scheme to those who might
through ignorance fear that the
burden they now carry would be
increased.

Recently Secretary of War Al
ger telegraphed Governor McLaurin
to know what amount Mississippi
would need to afford relief for delta
sufferers. The governor at once be-
gan to communicate with different
parties in the delta TO ascertain what
amount would be needed and tele-
graphed the secretary that he thought
$4,000 woeld be sufficient, but has
since been requested by parties in
the delta to ask $50, 900 stating that
since their first information was given
the situation has grown much more
serious.

to witness repetition this year.
Our people should let that spirit
OF "potronize home industry"pre-
dominate as safeguard TO their
own interests. The local ice plant
gives employment to home peo-
pie, helps swell the city revenue
and its operation sustains the in
dustrial and progressive reputa-
ton of the community. That alone
is worth something. The argu-
ment that competition keeps down
prices is fully in keeping with the

just received here confirms the story.
published yesterday In a dispatch from

to The Aftonbladet, of Stockholm, read

The pigeon also carried a letter ad.
dressed to The Aftonbladet but the
captain Of the Aiken declined to sur
render either the dispatch or the pig

dree's plans, and is greatly interested
in them.

of Trumsoe, the latter transmitted the
news to the commander of the steamer
Express, upon which the Lerner Polar
expedition was coming home, and the
Express finally passed the news along
to the steamer Lofoon, which brought
it here.
If the message from Andree reported
as having been received in the above
dispatch should prove to be genuine
the daring aeronaut would have trav.
ersed nearly one-fourth of the dis

The total dill ance Is about 71O miles.
and to reach the SD parallel Andree
must have drifted through the air at
least 100 miles to the northward. 70

go due north from Danes Island about
450 miles.
The genuineness of the message said
to have been received from him through
the agency of carrier pigeon is en-
tirely possible, and, in fact, very prob.
able. The publication of the letter ad-
dressed to the Stockholm Aftonbladet,
said to have been carried by the pigeon,
