Several Important schedules Of the New
Tariff B II Definitely Fixed.
WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-The daily ses-
sions Of the Republican members Of
the ways and means committee, which
have been in progress for about two
weeks, have brought the tariff bill to q
stage where the character Of the meas
ure can be somewhat gauged and
where certain of the most important
schedules have been definitely fixed.
Four schedules have now been fairly
completed, the chemical, agriculture,
wines and spirits. and earthen and
glassware schedules. All Of the rates
which have been decided upon are SUBJ
ject to change. The last meeting was
the most important of the ies, for it
resulted in the framing Of tie agricul-
tural schedule, which was made a
Re- -Enactment Of the Mckinley Law
with few changes except on unimpor.
tant products. The most important
step in connection with the schedule
was the establishment of rates of s. .

valued at more than $20 head. The

The announcement that Prince
George, second son of the king of
Greece, will command the torpedo
feet which is now in readiness to
start for Crete to join the Greek
squadron, has added strength to the
rumors that Greece will insist upon
O union with Crete. It is well known
fact that the Christians, who are
now in
Posssssien Of the Whole Island
with the exception of Heraklion and
Retina, are only awaiting signal from
Greece to proclaim union with that
country. The present uprising in
Crete is looked upon by many
statesmen in this country as .
move on the part of the sultan
Of Turkey to draw the attention of Eng
land, France and Russia away from
Coustantinople. Greece, whose quarrel
with Turkey has been growing more
serious from day to day, has not hesi.

the afternoon that at the request of the
Spanish consul the United States au-
thorities will attempt to suppress the
Cuban junta in this city, and that
known agents of the Cuban junta in
this country are likely to be prosecuted
on the ground of conspiracy.
The federal officials refuse to affirm
or deny the rumor, but the activity in
the United States district attorneys
and the United States marshal's offices
indicates that a general movement
against the junta and Cuban agents is
contemplated.

STORM OF PROTESTS.

Abolishmens Of Certain Pension Agencies
Arousea the Localities Affected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Congressmen
from those states in which are located
the pension agencies which President
Cleveland's order proposes to abolish
are considerably exercised and several
informal meetings of Republican mem.
bers were held about the matter. Ken
tucky and Tennessee Republicans were
especially indignant over the situation.
Several members declared that, as the
order did not go into effect until next
September, it would never go into ct.
feet at all, because there would be such
q storm of protests awaiting President
Mckinley after his Inauguration that
it would be very promptly revoked.

SAVES MUCH MONEY
ORDER BY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
REGARDING PENSION PAYMENTS.

Number OF Agencies in the Country Cut
From Eighteen to Nine-The Consolt-
dation Made Possible by the Payment
Of Pensions bv Checks Sent by Mail.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The president
has signed, on the recommendation Of
Secretary Of the Interior Francis. an
important order reducing the number
Of pension agencies fropA l8 to 3. The
object of the order is to effect a very
large saving to the government with
ont mountaineering the pensioners.
The secretary demonstrates that by
this REDUCTION of the pension agencies
the cost Of disbursing pensions can be
reduced by at least $3.50, 200 per an
mum. The change was made possible
by an amendment to the law govern
ing the disbursing of pensions, which
amendment was approved March 23,
1895. It required that all pensioners
should, after that date, be paid by check
remitted by mail.
Reports from the pension agencies IN
reply to inquiries as to the operation Of
the new law were to the effect that
under it the pensioners are paid much
more promptly ; that the possibility of
error Is minimized, and that upon the
whole it is much tmore satisfactory to
the pensioners than the former law.
The agents also advise that the pen-
sioners receive their pensions when re-
mittod by mail at their homes, where,
being
Surrounded by Family Influences,
the pensioner is much more likely to
make d judicious disposition Of his PEN
sion money. This executive order will
60 into effect Sept. next, its execu-
tion having been postponed until that
date in order that no pensioner should
suffer Inconvenience in consequence Of
delay in receiving his pension, and to
give ample time for the removal Of the
rolls and records from the agencies dis
contilued. The consolidation was made
BY uniting existing agencies and the
entire jurisdiction thereof in order that
no expense should be incurred by the
making of new rolls. Among the
changes of agencies are: The agency
Of Milwaukee is discontinued and pay
ments are made from Chicago; those at
Des Moines from st. Louis, a new
