In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Teller re-
feued TO the dismissal of President An
drews, of Brown University, because that
educator has dared TO teach the philosophy
and doctrine of bimetallism; philosophy
and doctrine accepted and advocated by
almost all the recognized authorities on po-
litical economy in the world. Senator Tel
Ter did well to call attention to this cruel
and significant act of persecution perpe-
trated by the foreign money influence now
In control of the Hanna Administration
and OF the nation. Tits well that the people
should have such object lessons. 1t is i'm
portaut that they should be brought face
O. face with the dogmatic gold theology OF
their actual rulers. There is education in
the evidence that no truth is to be permitted

does not jibe with the sordid views and

OCEAN RACE AGAINST TARIFF
Steamers Trying to Reach Port Be-
fore tho Law Takes Effect.

New York, July 24.-According TO re-
ports circulated in and around the custom
house, there has been In progress dur
ing the week, but nearly terminated now,
a most exciting race across the Atlantic.
Fully a dozen vessels, huge liners and
freighters, have been striving to make
port before the tariff bill becomes law.
The rushing in of goods at the time OF
the retroactive clause scare Is as nothing
compared with the present attempt to
seize the benefit OF the low rates of the
Wilson bill while there is yet time. Large
sums are at stake, according to gossip,
upon the timely arrival of the Paris from
Southampton and the Cmbria from Liver
pool.
They are due today with vast cargoes OF
wool, and a the staple is now free, IL they
get in before the tariff takes effect. 1t will
mean a saving of 81 600, 900 in duties to
the importers. other vessels besides the
Umb,ia and Paris are rushing hithcr ard
with the same purpose in view. A list COM
piled at the custom-house yesterday after
noon gave eleven ships as due today.
