THE NEW JOURNALS LATEST.

One OF the sensational newspapers IN
New York recently printed q story with
pictures Of the persons concerned to tho
effect that Mr.. Russell Sage. OF New
York. had loaned a poor nephew Of his
out West the sum Of $50 to complete his
house. taking his nephews note at six
per cent. interest secured by a mortgage
on the house. Not content with this
sort OF news. the paper has since seen
~ to print an editorial article holding Mr..
Sage up to public scorn for his act.
We know nothing of the facts in the
case. and It may be that Mr.. Sage was
ungenerous toward his nephew. But in
the name Of common sense what has

Mr. Sages money IS his own. and how
he shall dispose of it is his own private
affair. What possible business, there
fore. is it Of "a newspaper to be making
a sensation out Of private transaction
OF this character, and to lecture the uncle
on his conduct? Such publications are
an abuse Of the liberty OF the press.

WOOL SCHEDULE IN DINGLEY BILL
WILL MEET WITH OPPOSITION
IN THE SENATE.
Western Senators Reach an Agree
ment to Stand Together and
Demand Changes.

WASHINGTON, April 16-Western
senators, after several conferences,
have reached an agreement to stand
together for important changes in the
wool schedule of the Dingley bill. The
senators most prominently identified
with the movement are Messrs. Mantle,
carter, Shoupe, Warren and Burrows
Ihey have not only agreed upon a line
OF amendments, but have decided to
insist on their inclusion in the bill.
The meetings have also been attend
ed by many prominent wool growers.
The proposed amendments are directed
mainly to closing the many loopholes
for evasion and fraud which wool men
agree abound in the Dingley law. and
We're also found in the Mckinley law.
An amendment was agreed upon pro-
viding that an additional duty of 4
cents per pound should be levied upon
skirted woods and woods imported in
1890 and prior to that time The princi-
pal change, however, to be proposed is
upon wool and camel's hair of the third
class. The Dingley bill proposes an
ad valorem duty of 30 and SO per cent,
respectively, upon woods Of this class
valued under and over 13 cents per
pound. 1t is proposed now to strike
out the Dingley bill clauses relating to
third-claSs woods and to insert instead
the following:
''On woods of third class and camePs
hair of the third class, the value of
which shall be s cents or less per pound
on the wool markets of the United
States, the duty shall be ) cents per
pound, and on all the wool and hair
of this class, the value Of which shall
exceed s cents per pound in the gem
eral markets of the United States,
there shall be additional duty of half
of l cent per pound for each increase
of j cent per pound in the value
thereof"
1t is claimed for this latter amend
ment, which is the most important of
all the amendments proposed, that it
will largely prevent the frauds which
it is alleged were perperated on the
ad valorem duties under the Mckinley
law, by reason of which it is asserted
hundreds of millions Of pounds of wool
used in the manufacture of clothing
which properly belonged in the first
class were imported at third-class
rates, on the representation that they
were to be used in making carpets The
clause in the proposed amendment re-
lating to third class woods, designating
the general markets of the United
States as fixing the value of imported
wools, is regarded as very important,
as if the Senate amendment is adopted
it will destroy the opportunity for un-
dervalues which now exist
Senator Mantle, who introduced the
memorial of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association in the Senate, says
the amendment does not nearly cover
the demand made by the association,
but in his opinion will be a vast i'm
provement upon the bill as it passed
the House of Representatives. 1t will
remain with the Western Senators, he
says, to say wether or not the pro-
posed amendments shall become a part
of the new tariff law. or whether the
demands of the wool manufacturers, as
applied to wool, shall outweigh those
of the wool growers themselves.

SENATE COMMITTEES.
An Agreement as to Reorganization
Has Been Reached.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Re
publican committee of the Senate to-
DAY agreed unanimously to accept, so
far as it is empowered to do so. the
proposition made by the Democrats for
the organization of the Senate commit
tees. Accordingly a caucus will be held
at 10 O'Clock Monday morning.
The proposition which the committee
mas agreed to accept provides that the
Republicans shall fill all the committee
places which were filled by Republi-
can Senators during the last Congress.
including the Chairmanships vacated
by Republicans, and that they shall be
given one additional place on the Ap-
propriations Committee vacated by a
Democrat and that the membership of
the Postoffice and Postroads Commit
teee shall be increased from nine to
ten in order to give the Democrats an
additional place on that committee.
This arrangement will result in leav-
ing the Republican Senators at the
head of all important committees. but
majority of the membership Of many of
them will be nti-Republican.
There are indications that the COM
mlttee recommendation will not be re-
ceived with favor by all the Republican

KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
A Truce Has Been Declared Until Next
Tuesday.

FRANKFORT Ry), April 16.-A
truce in the Senatorial battle has been
declared until next Tuesday The re-
spective steering committees this after
noon signed agreements that on to-
morrow and Monday but one vote
should be cast for each of the candi-
dates. Nearly half of the members
have gone home or elsewhere to stay
until Tuesday morning, and most of the
remaining half will go to Louisville on
a special train to morrow afternoon to
attend the address of Hon. William
Jennings Bryan at the Auditorium.
1t is generally agreed that the Black
burn people are hoping for the indict-
nent of Hunter, on the idea that if in
dicted he cannot withdraw under a
cloud and the cloud could not be lift
ed until the trial under the indict-
ments, which would last the summer
out.
The Grand Jury, which has kept three
Deputy Sheriffs busy looking for and
summoning witnesses for two weeks. is
not yet through, and adjourned again
tonight without making a report. The
court Will adjourn tomorrow after
noon for the week, and it is said that
Judge Cantrell has notified the Jury
that a report must be forthcoming be-
fore this adjournment.
All the members were present at to-
days session. The vote stood: Hunter
