POTTERY AND WOOL SCHEDULES
The Committee Finds 1t Difficult
to Satisfy All Interests.


The Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee were working over
the pottery and wooden schedules of the
tariff bill yesterday and endeavoring to
arrange the reciprocity clauses so as to
open French and German markets to Ameri-
can meat products and live stock. a good
deal of trouble is being found in putting
the woolen and pottery schedules N a form
satisfactory TO all interests.
The committee are endeayoring to agree
upon specific duties instead of the ad va
lorem Rates which formed part Of the Nc
Kinleylaw as well as the present law. The
woolgrowers are very much dissatisfied
with the rates on carpet wool, and the com
mittee are endeavoring to adopt general
scale of specific duties. The great variety
OF articles In the pottery schedule makes a
specific system difficult to arrange, but
efforts in that direction are being made
The Mckinley schedules on both these ar
ticles are likely to be embodied in the bill
introduced in the House next week, leaving
changes to be made, if they are found prac-
hcable, at a later stage in the consideration
of the measure.
The method adopted for compelling France
and Germany to abolish their restrictions
upon American live stock and meat products
is the offer of slight concessions in the
duties upon mineral waters, champagnes,
gloves, silks, chicol, and argol.
The regulation in regard to wearing ap-
parel of American citizens returning from
abroad is such that persons buying cloth
ing abroad must pay duty on all in excess
OF a value of $500 Travellers, who are
not citizens, are allowed TO bring in wear
ing apparel and things necessary to their
comfort and convenience, free of all duty
but this can be done only twice in the same
year.

suddenly in Topeka Tuesday. No
further particulars are known Of his
death. He will be buried this

Mr.. Fish was in the DeighborhoOd
of 60 years of age at the time of his
death. He came to Kansas IN the
SOS, first settling at Mulvane. When
the old Farmers Alliance came into
being in Kansas he was one of the
leading spirits 10 the movement, and
when the Peoples party succeeded
that organization he was found in the
front ranks Of the element of disCon-
tent that later swept the state and
landed Lewelling in the gubernator-
ial chair. In 1891 he was defeated for

W. j. NewbOld, Republican. Hesoo
afterwards left here and went to To-
peka and lived with his sOn.in-
law, W. D. McKinstry, who secured a
position as bond clerk with the POpu.
list administration. During the heat
of the agitation in the SOS when the
old Farmers Alliance was being
transformed into bosom of political
reform he published book On social
istic questions which gained for him
considerable reputation as an original
theorist on finance. Only a month
ago he was appointed watch Of the
treasury, which position be held at
the time of his death.

master W. A. Sturm recently was re-
moved for alleged embezzlemeut of

office. The president on IJanuary IS,
nominated Alpha R. Young, free sill

but the nomination has not been
acted on nor is it probable that cong
ress will confirm it before adjourn
ment. Meanwhile the bondsmen
have telegraphed to President Cleve-
land, and written letter to him an
nouncing their intention to end their
responsibility at once. Under the
law they can withdraw their bond,
which amounts to about $1,000, by the
18th or 18th Of this month. Their
action has complicated matters, and
unless an inspector is directed to take
charge, the Office will be left without
