Tariff Bill Will Pass.

Washington, April 13.-The Republican
managers I'm the senate have no doubt
about the passage of the tariff bill when
they get ii in shape, and they do not ex-
pect to have to concede all the demands
of the Western high protectionists in
order to get it through. They will prob
ably have to make concessions, in the
nature Of compromises In the duties on
wool and lead ore. but they do not expect
to concede the tax on hides which the
western Republican senators are de-
manding. When the time for a vote
comes the Republican managers will
have a majority of the senate. Senator
Kyle, and possibly Senator Jones Of Ne
vada, will support the bill directly, and
IL this does not give the bill . majority
I'm the senate, with or without the cast
ing vote of Vice President Hobart.
enough of the opposition senators will
refrain from voting to make the Repub-
lican vote a majority Of those answering
to the roll-call. When the managers
have completed their negotiations and
made all reasonable concessions, they
will insist upon unanimous support from
the Mckinley Republicans as party
measure, and expect to have no difficulty
In keeping every regular Republican in
line

WAR WITH TRANSvAAL.
Sensation Created by Speech Of Sir George J.
G0schen al London.

London, April l3.-The speech OF the
first lord Of the admiralty. George j..
Goschen, at the farewell banquet ten
dered on Saturday to Sir Alfred Miner,
the newly appointed high commissioner
Of Great Britain in South Africa, has
produced a great sensation, and the
imminence of war between Great Bri-
tain and the Transvaal is the common
talk of the street.
Referring to the presence OF British
blue jackets and marines I'm South
Africa, Mr.. Goschen said:
They are there to represent Sir Alfred
Miner, British power in South Africa.
They are the guarantee to him and to
our colonies, to the loyal men who sup
port British rule, that this country is
determined to maintain Its supremacy
In those quarters, and that ii will back
it's high commissioner with the power Of
the British empire"
A dispatch from Cape Town confirms
the report, apparently, of the dispatch
of the British war vessel to Delagoa bay
The British warship Raccoon sailed yes
terday from Cape Town under sealed
orders. The officials there refuse to di-
vulge her destination, but II is rumored
she is bound for Delagoa bay, and the
report is generally believed.

Wants Office of Assessor.

Fitchburg, Mass. April 13.-David A.
Corey, who claims an election to the
board of assessors, though the city
solicitor has ruled against him, has filed
in the supreme court a petition for a
writ Of mandamus against the present
board of assessors, Charles X. Sawyer,
Zachariah F. Young and Edward w.
Ackley, praying that the court will order
Mr.. Young to surrender his office to Mr..
Corey and that the other two members
o. the board be ordered to recognize
Mr.. Corey as a member OF the board.
The writ is returnable about April 20, in
Boston.

SENATOR woLcoTT.

1t has been generally conceded that
Senator Wolcott would be made a men,
ber of the commission. He has been an
active leader in the movement for a
monetary agreement and widely known
as an advocate OF the silver cause. His
trip TO Europe last summer was gener-
ally conceded to be at least semi Off
'eiai as the representative of the new ad-
ministration. His tour extended over
several months and embraced the lead
ing European capitals. He had audi
ences with the most noted financiers and
ministers, and 1t Is believed then laid
the foundations for the international
conference, which the commission ap-
pointed last night will endeavor to bring
to a conclusion. Senator Wolcott is now
serving his second term in the senate,
having been elected to that body In 1885.
While pronounced bimetallist he was
staunch supporter of the st. Louis ticket.
The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-04-13

Ex-vice President Stevenson, the
Democratic member of the commission,
though generally known as an advocate
of bimetallism, was a staunch supporter
of Bryan and the Chicago platform.
He and Senator Wolcott, however, are
said to be in accord on the financial cues
tion.
General Charles ]. Paine, who may be
termed the minority member, Is a Re-
publican. and was a Mckinley man. He
is one of the most prominent business
men of Massachusetts, and is said to be
I q deep student of the financial question.
I While he is classed as a supporter of BIZ
4 metallism based on international agree
ment he Is regarded as allied with the
I sound money faction. He is a graduate
Z OF Harvard, being a member of the class
of '53. General Paine is largely identi-
hed with railroads and other corpora
'fions.
Civil Service In Navy.
Secretary Long has sent to the COM
imandants Of every navy yard and sta
ttion In the United States a copy of the
lorder he made March aS, relative to
:markins efficiency. offics habits. ETC., of
asmployes. In the opinion OF the Sec
tretary. a true civil service must permit
iof removals In order to ensure good
work. Therefore, under this circular,
hny person who falls below 20 Der cent
Nm the rating will be dropped from the
|kpublic service. AS soon as Assistant
Eecretary Roosevelt Is settled in his new
|pofYice, he will. by direction Of Secretary
M.ong. make a thorough examination Of
&very navy yard and station In TIE
United States, devoting his attention
particularly to the condition Of the en-
bloyes, their efficiency, and framing reg
,olations for the correction OF any abuse
|fhat may be brought to his attention.
