SEC. % OF THE TARIFF LAW.
Meaning of the Change Explained by
Nelson DingIey's Paper.

LEWISTON, Me-, Sept. 3.-According to
the Lewiston Evening Journal Hon. Nelson
Dingleys paper. the originators of Section
% of the tariff law did not intend it to
affect the bonding privilege under which
foreign merchandise can be shipped and
forwarded through Canada. The Journal
editorialy says of Section %:
The controversy which has arisen over
Section Y has come entirely over two
amendments, one having been made by the
Senate and the other by the conference.
The section as framed by the ways and
means committee and passed by the House
was the same as in all previous tariffs
and If IT had not been amended after it
lett the House no question could have ariS-
en- respecting it. The Senate amendment to
Section p amended the House section by
striking out the words or any act of Con-
gress in the conditional clause, which is
the modincatlon OF Importance that is
causing the most controversy. Many papers
in commenting on the section assume that
proceeded to comment on what thew call a
trick in the dark etc. The fact is how
ever that this amendment was adopted in
open Senate.
THE other amendment il now seems
was adopted by the conferees simplv 10
landing of foreign merchandise in Canada
by vessels not entitled to equal privileges
IN our ports, then shipping il to the United
States, and was not intended or understood
to affect the bonding privilege under which
foreign merchandise can be continuously
shipped and forwarded through Canada.
Undoubtedly when finally settled, this
amendment Will he construed as the Corl
ferees intended and therefore all the con-
tention over ii Will fall TO the ground"

SHORTAGE OF $4,000.
Treasurer of a Presbyterian Board
Charged with Embezzlement.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3.-Warrants charging
embezzlement have been issued for the ar
rest of Charles NJ. Charnley, for fifteen
years treasurer of the Presbyterian Board
of Aid for Colleges and Academies. He
cannot be found. The American Surety
Company caused the warrants to be issued
and alleges that Mr.. Charnley has con-
fessed to a shortage of $4,000 the trust
fund contributed for educational institu-
tons having been used in speculations on
the Board of Trade. The action of the
surety company was caused by William H.
Swift, who notified the concern that the
deficit existed and it would be expected
to pay $25, 900. the amount under which Mr.
Charnley was bonded by the company. Mr..
Swift is the attorney for the board, of
which Mr.. Charnley was treasurer.
Mr.. Charnley was in sight and easily
accessible TO the company up to Wednes-
day night. He was seen to leave the Aston
street House at that time, and his where
abouts since then has been a mystery. This
made the company so suspicious that it
swore out warrants for the arrest of the
treasurer 1t also prepared descriptions of
him and wired them to its agents over the
asked TO help in the search. Mr.. Charnley
has for years been a prominent member of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church in this
city. The surety company says he adj
mtted that the shortage amounted to
$50 600, and might possibly be more. His
bond Is only for $4,000 and the Presby-
terrain board viii lose the balance.

MAJOR II. Fl. LEEDS MISSING.
Reported that the KokOmO Man Was
Long Since Killed IN a Duel.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind. Sept. "a report was re-
ceiver here this week that Major T. II.
Leeds. once a resident of Kokomo, but who
has been missing for twenty years. had died
a mysterious death in Texas. Leeds was
major of the Fifty-seventh Indiana Regi-
ment under Colonel Blanche and at the
close of the war he went to Texas and be-
came wealthy. In preparing for a reunion
of the regiment here next week the sec
rotary received letter from the Pension
Department stating that Major Leeds APP
piled for a pension in 1876, which was
granted. but the correspondence suddenly
stopped and tbs money was never called
for. The letters to his brother. Josiah
formerly associated in the drug business,
also ceased at the same time. 1t is said
now that he was killed in a duel with
Confederate officer the same week his let
tiers stopped, but there is no proof of such
an affair During the war ne was wounded
ten times in battle and could have drawn
a pension for total disability. Scores of
letters have been written to Texas. where
he went, without getting satisfactory IN
formation. The manner of his death, If he
be dead is a mystery.
The daily newspapers of the city have
started popular subscription for the pur
pose of erecting a monument at the grave
OF General Thomas J. Harrison, in Crown
Point Cemetery. At the reunion of the
Thirty-nnth Regiment last week the COM
rades were surprised and panied to learn
that not even an ordinary headstone
marked the grave of their old commander.
General Harrison died in 1871. At the time
of his death he was United States marshal
had he lived would have been the next
United States senator from that State.

the matter should be taken up in open ses-
sion of the committee, just as if it had not
been considered and determined in secret,
and that when the ballot should be taken
two or three members should vote for De
Mattos, to show him that it was not cut

the doors were thrown open, the rabble adj

OF its merits followed and vote by ball

grin of the chairman and tellers and all OF
the members of the committee, every vote

had remembered the agreement that a few
votes should be cast for him. and each

really entitled to the nomination did not
get single vote. The cause of the mis-
