THE TARIFF BILL.
A Probability That the Measure May
Not Become a Law Until August I.
APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.
The Commissioner OF Pensions Selects the
Chiefs In Different DIvlsIons--The De-
livery of Mall to Foreigners
Commander OF the Army.

WASHINGTON, April 9s--The demo
cratic members of the senate finance
committee yesterday followed up their
refusal to allow the tariff bill to be
reported direct to the senate with the
announcement that they would expect
to be given an opportunity for thor
ough examination of all the schedules
of the bill as amended before 1t is re-
ported to the senate. They have al
ready employed one expert, and will
employ others to take up the bill in
their behalf as soon as it is presented
to them. They expect to be able to
examine the bill sufficiently to permit
it to 90 to the senate in about two
weeks time after they receive 1t.
There has been some talk among
the democratic senators of granting
hearings by the full committee, but
this proposition does not appear to
have met with general favor The
democratic members Of the commit
tee fear that insistence upon this
course would be construed into deter
mination to delay the bill, which they
insist is not part Of their programme.
Some of the republican committeeman
now say that they may not conclude
their work before Monday morning,
as there are still various matters which
are not definitely decided, and which
it becomes absolutely necessary to fix
before going into the full committee.
The republicans think they discover in
the present attitude of their demo-
cratic colleagues disposition to delay
the passage of the bill and are making
their preparations for long siege in
the senate as well as in committee.
Some of them express the fear that the
bill will not become law before the
LIST Of August.
Appointments to once.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-President
Mckinley has under consideration at
present three names for minister to
Spain. They are Herbert w. Bowen,
of Connecticut; President Hill, of
Rochester university, and John Rus
sell Young, Of Philadelphia. Mr..
Bowen is the present consul at Bar
eelona. His bearing during the riots
at Barcelona, when the American con-
sulate was stoned by Spanish students,
was excellent, and his promotion from
the consular service to the ministry is
now being asked by powerful infu-
ences. Ex-Representative Andrews, Of
the Fifth Nebraska district, will, in
all probability, be appointed auditor
for the interior department.

A REVOLUTION PROBABLE.

The Citizens OF Athens Greatly Excited at
the Recent Revelations Concerning the
War.
ATHENS, April 49, Public excitement
is increasing every hour and it is al
most certain that a revolution will be
attempted. The foreign residents of
this city have placed their national
flags over the buildings occupied
by them. The situation is so grave
that it is generally believed that
the replacing Of Premier Delyannis
by M. Ralli, the opposition lead
err and principal fomenter of the dis
turbance, will not serve to arrest the
outbreak and the attempt to depose
King George. 1t is reported that King
George is planning to abdicate in favor
OF his second son, Prince George, the
naval officer, heretofore the idol of the
masses, but it is thought that even this
/ win not prevent an attempt to estab-
Ash republic.
The opposition leaders have become
alarmed at the trend of events and
have united in urging the king and
premier to take urgent steps to pre-
serve order. The majority of the dep
uties have issued a manifesto urging
the people to remain calm, but threat
ening gatherings are to be seen hour
ly. AS yet the absence of leader has
alone prevented serious outbreak.
The citizens are greatly excited at
the revelations made by former Min
lister Rail- as to the conduct of the
campaign Yesterday large meetings
were held in Constitution square and
other places, and fiery harangues de-
livered in denunciation of 'those who
would betray Greece" In the afternoon
500 men formed themselves into a body,
forced their way into the gun
smith shops, armed themselves with
rifles and revolvers, and paraded the
street in front of M. Ralli's residence.
Several deputies addressed them, eX-
horting them to remain calm and to
await the progress of events. Finally
they proceeded to the royal palace
where after making a demonstration
they dispersed without further dis
order.

The Delivery OF Mall to Foreigners
WASHINGTON, April 9s.-A practice
that has existed for some years of de-
livering mail, in bulk, addressed to
foreigners in the foreign labor colonies
of the large cities to saloons and other
places of general assemblage, there to
be sorted over and handed out in the
crowd instead of delivering at the
house addresses, is being generally
agitated and complaints are constantly
reaching the post Office department.
The trouble that has grown out Of the
practice referred to has vexed the post
office department and the civil service
commission and Assistant Postmaster
General Heath has about decided on
step which may put an end to the
trouble. This contemplates posting
notices at all of the places where these
men meet announcing that it is vio-
lation of the law and of the laws Of
the post Office department to have mail
delivered at such places without in
struction to have it left there and adj
vising the persons receiving letters
that they must have their street ad-
dress put on their letters or else go to
the post Office for them.
Commander OF the Army.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Unless a
change of plans occurs, Gen. Miles and
his aid, Capt. Maus, will start for the
seat of war per steamer st. Paul, sail
ing from New York on the 9TH proximo.
During the absence of Gen. Miles the
functions pertaining to his office as
commanding general of the army will
be performed by Secretary Alger in
conjunction with his regular duties,
unless it should be found impractiea-
BILE, in which event another officer,
probably Gen. Brooke, commanding
the department of Missouri at Chicago,
will be assigned temporarily to the
command of the army. Gen. Brooke
is the senior brigadier, and will un-
doubtedly be promoted major-general
on the retirement of Gen. Wheaton
next month. If he gets the promo
ton, and Gen. Miles and Gen. Merritt
both go to Europe, he will be the rank
ing officer of the army on duty In this

TWO KICKERS.

Free trade organs and orators lay
great stress upon protests which
foreign governments are making
against the protective features of the
tariff bill now before the Senate.
Austria is one of the kickers, and
the records show that during the past
ten years we have purchased of the
products of Austria S84, 600, 600.
During the same time we have sold
that country but SII, 100. 900, a bal

Brazil is another. For the year 800

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2o.-The
nomination of Mr.. White for the rev.
enue collectorship, made yesterday,
puts a good man in the office, and
keeps another good man out Of it.
That it was Disappointing to the
friends of Mr.. Davis is true; that the
appointment of Mr.. Davis would have
been disappointing to Mr.. White S
friends, is equally true. The logic OF
events seemed to be favorable to the
selection of the Grafton candidate,
but the President was favorable to
the Parkersburg man, and that beat
logic.
1t does not transpire, however, that,
in consequence of the decision, there
is quarrel" between representative
Dayton and Senator Elkins. Mr..
Dayton was earnestly in favor of the
appointment of Mr.. Davis, openly
and aggressively, so, naturally, he
did all that an honorable man could
do to secure the Presidents favorable
action; but while the latter was will
ing to give and rendered to Mr.. Davis
any other available position of equal
or greater prominence, he preferred
to appoint Mr.. White to the collector
ship.
Mr.. Davis could not accept any
other appointment, and the President
was so informed At the last white
house conference upon the subject,
President Mckinley assured Mr.. Day
ton of his high regard for himself
and for Mr. Davis and on numerous
occasions repeated his offer of enother
appointment, so that while Mr.. Davis
was not chosen collector he had the
choice Of several other offices of inn
portance, and ranks high in the esti-
nation of the President.

WHITE WINS.
The West Virginia CoIIectorship FL
naIIy Settled by the President.

WAsHINGToN. d. c., June 2o.-The
President sent to the Senate late yes
terday afternoon the nomination of A..
b. White, of Parkersburg, w. Va, to
be collector of internal revenue for
the district of West Virginia. This
ends a spirited but friendly contest
for this place, the last of the three
federal positions for the state.
Mr.. White had the support of Mr..
George NJ. Bowers, of Martinsburg,
and Mr.. o. A. Petty, of Charleston,
who were also candidates for the po-
siiion earlier in the contest.
In addition he had the active en-
dorsement of congressman Dorr and
Miller, and strong letter of endorse
ment from Congressman Dovener.
He was also endorsed by every
member of the Republican state exec
utive committee and ten of the four
teen members OF the state central
committee.
The press Of the state also largely
favored Mr.. Whites nomination.
The friendliness of President Nc
Kinley to Mr. White has been fire.
quently noted in the papers, and SEN
ator Elkins, who is also friend OF
Mr.. Whites, did not feel called upon
to veto or oppose Mr.. Whites nomi-
nation, when so strongly urged.
Senator Elkins originally favored
Mr.. Davis, but did not fight Mr..
White. and telegraphed late this after
noon that Mr.. White owed his nomi-
nation to the persistent friendship of
the President.
