Sioux FALLS, S. D., June 2.-The rail-
road commission, which has been estab-
ished for two months in this city, has

A Wool Schedule Under Considera'

Pressed Into Service at Once.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
committee on foreign relation today au-
thorized Chairman Davis to report the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty to the
senate tomorrow. The treaty will be
amended as heretofore indicated.
WOOL SCHEDULE.
A proposition to enact wool schedule
for the new tariff bill as an emergency
measure to check heavy anticipatory i'm
portation wool and wooden goods, is
being considered by the Republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee and by Republican leaders of both
houses. If this policy is decided upon
the schedule will be introduced as an in
dependent measure and passed BY the
house after a short debate and sent to
the senate with the hope that it will be
quickly passed. In the form proposed
it would be in operation from the date
of enactment until the new tariff bill
itself took effect. If congress has a
tariff bill under consideration for two
or three months it is possible that enough
importations will have been made mean
time, to deprive the government of rev
enues from wool year or more after the
new bill goes into effect.

THEY DON'T WANT OFFICE
The Distinction Between a Man and
Woman Wire-Puller.
What THESE PROMINENT LADIES SAY
Some Very Interesting Expressions of
Position from Prominent Women
Politcians-Mrs. Foster Not
Asking for Ofce-Talks
With Other Hard
Workers.

The libel in a mild form has been cir
culated to the effect that Mrs. j. Ellen
Foster, the Republican politician, is de.
sirous of obtaining the position of gov
ernor of New Mexico for Mr.. Foster, hei
! husband, on account of the excellent and
effective work she did GaIi.sg the last
campaign.
The Times is authorized by both Mrs
Foster and her husband to make an alb
solute denial of this story. Mrs. Foster
has not asked for this position for her
husband; Mr.. Foster has not asked for it,
Mrs. Foster has not asked for any POSI-
tion for her husband, and neither has he.
Even more than that, neither Mrs. Foster
nor Mr.. Foster intend to ask for any
thing. The political work of this lady is
SO absorbing, and requires 80 much time
that it would be impossible for her to go
to New Mexico. Mr.. Foster would not
care to 60 without her.
1t is probable that the story originated
in the fact that the Fosters have large
mining interests in New Mexico, and the
people of the territory would like to have
Mr.. Foster their governor. Other stories
of this nature have been circulated about
some of the other women political work
ers of the last campaign, and as far as can
be learned, they are all devoid of truth.
At the White house Yesterday it was
stated that since the Inauguration none of
the ladies who we're prominent as speak
ers and in other ways in the election of
Mr.. Mckinley has been up to call on him
demanding spoils. Nearly all of the
ladies who have been gathered here dur
ing the last two weeks have departed. Mrs.
Foster still remains, and one or two
others, but personal canvass of each of
these cases demonstrates that each of
these particular ladies do not want any
thing, it may be inferred that none of
them do.
1t is said by prominent politicians, not
all women, that if Mrs. Foster should
make any reasonable request, it would
unquestonably be considered with the
same care by Mr.. Mckinley that the same
request from any politician ofthe sterner
sex of equal Importance would receive.
Some time in the future Mrs. Foster may
have requests to make. --- Washington
