The Visitors VII Be- Photographed
and Entertained With Trip
on the Bay.

The twenty-second annual convention
of the United States Railway Mail Service
Mutual Benefit Association convened

Christian Association Hall.

vention to order and introduced Mayor

Gated in this City, briefly reviewed the

given to their respective divisions.
The secretary-treasurer' report showed
a mortuary list of twenty-nine in the fiscal
year against membership of 1857. The
average age at death is 36 years. Only six
deaths are booked to railroad accidents.
The committee on legislation advised
that no more than $4,000 insurance policy
be allowed any member.
The changes in the constitution and by.
laws caused the convention to spend hours
over matters that could have been de-
cided in short order had they been al
lowed at once to pass according to the de-
cision of the committee appointed year
ago at the last convention. The recon-
mendations of the committee were nearly
all adopted.
The main discussion was on the advisa-
bilIty of having regular physicians at
tached to old line insurance companies as
examiners Il was decided that the old
system OF accepting certificates from fam
lily physicians would be continued.
The committee on legislation was in
creased from three to five members, and
the board of directors will henceforth be
nine instead of seven.
The proposal of the board of directors
that the executive committee be allowed
$25 per annum each brought up spirited
debate and was finally voted down.
The delegates propose devotlng great
deal more time OF this convention to
pleasure than they do to business.
Last night they put in most OF their
time at the promenade concert This
morning they have Two pleasure excur-
sions on hand. Superintendent Flint of
the local pos office is to meet the visitors
at 90 clock and join in a private stag.

sumed tomorrow morning.

Chief Crowley's Views on the Enforce
ment of the New Ordf-

nance.
The ordinance making il q misdemeanor
for any one to expectorate on the public
sidewalks, in the corridors of public build
ings and in streetcars was signed by Mayor
Phelan Yesterday
Chief Crowley was asked last night as to
his views regarding the enforcement OF
the ordinance.
II have not yet received an official copy
OF the ordinance" said the Chief, "but as
soon as 1t is sent me I shall instruct the
different captains to see that it is en-
forced.
II recognize the fact that it will be q
difficult matter to enforce it. Take street.

officer on each streetcar, and suppose q
PASSENGER expectorates in the car. who
will arrest bim if he should leave the car
before an officer can be seen by the con-
ductor?
Then, again, take crowded thorough
fare like Market street. A man is not
going to expectorate on the sidewalk in
the presence OF an officer, and with so
many people passing and repassing 1t will
be almost impossible to make an arrest.
However, the mere fact that man
leaves himself open to arrest by expec-
torating on the sidewalks will have ten
deney to make him observe the law in
that respect"

farmhouse of Al y ader Harris. who

kesha, at Nn early hour I'm the morning.
the victims being Mr.. Harris, his wife,
hired girl and hired man. The crime
was committed, it is supposed, by a
farmland named William Pouch, who
had been sheltered by the farmer over
night. The dead and wounded are:
Alexander Harris, aged about As
years killed outright; Helen Vesbach.
the hired girl, fatally wounded; Nelson
McHolt, hired u'aa, fatally wounded;
Mrs. Harris, seriously wounded, but
may recover.
Pouch, who had worked for Mr.. Har-
ris about two years ago, called at the
house and requested lodging over
night He was taken in, given supper
and assigned a room.
About o'clock I'm the morning Mr..
Harris and the hired man arose and
went to the yard to milk the cows,
Mrs Harris and the hired girl re-
naming to prepare breakfast. Pouch
went 90 the yard where the men were
milking the COWS, and before they were
aware of his intent he drew a revolver
and fired at the farmer killing him in
stantly The murderer then shot the
hired man i'm the body inhicting a
probably fatal wound. The man fell
motionlcss on the ground, and Pouch
evidently supposed him dead also.
He calmly left his victims where they
fell, and walked leisurely to the Kitchen
Of the farmhouse. There he met Mrs
Harris and the hired girl, and chatted
pleasantly with them for a few min
utes. He said Mr. Harris would not b'
in for a few minutes, and that he would
partake of breakfast at once. The
woman waited upon the murderer, who
seemed to relish his meal.

THE TARIFF BILL.

The changes which the finance committee
has made in the Dingley bill are not quite as
numerous or as radical as the Democrats pre-
dicted or a the Republicans at ona time
expected. Still, they make some important
alterations in the measure from the form it
had when it passed the House. As was an
ticipated, the retroactive clause is stricken
out The reciprocity provision placed in the
bill by the House is displaced by a more
general section which viii accomplish a some
what similar purpose in a simpler way. The
tax on beer is increased from the rate placed
upon it by the House. On woJls of the first
and second classes the duty is cut below the
House figures, while ON those of the third
class the duty is advanced. Tobacco of
nearly all kinds will have a higher duty
than was placed ON it by the House, aud
hides are transferred from the free list to the
dutiable schedules. Most of the duties ON
metals are reduced below the House rates.
In general it may be said that the bill as it
will be reported to the Senate will be more
moderate measure than 10 was when it passed
the House. While the changes are not radi-
cal, the majority of them are reductions
As a revenue measure the finance com.
mittee's modified bill is an improvement
over the House measure. Nor is the require
ment Of greater protection than the Wilson
law affords lost sight off, Many duties are
left as the House fixed them.
Undoubtedly the bill in its modified form
will be more acceptable to the Senate than it
would have been in the shape in which it
passed The House. The veterans who com.
pose the Republican end Of the finance com
mittee have had a good deal Of experience in
tariff legislation. They understand what
the country needs i'm this lime, and, what is
of prime importance at the present time,
they know the senate's temper and what
sort Of "a measure 10 will accept
It is safe to predict that there will be no
lcng conflict between the two branches ON

committee are not extreme. Unlike those
made by the Senate ia the Wilson bin, they
are not calculated to arouse the resentment

THE same old lie in which Democrats have
been accustomed to assert that their tariff
law was more productive of customs revenue
than the Mckinley law is being revived now
that the tariff discussion is about to reopen
in the Senate They are encouraged in

by the fact that the customs receipts in

cause of the enormous importation of foreign
goods in anticipation of the new tariff. The
absolute untuthfulness of the statements,
however, is proved by the following figures,
which cover the entire history Of the Wilson
