A correspondent from Wash
ington, d. c., writes the Mes
SENGER this week as follows
Tariff history is repeating
itself. The Senate made the
Mckinley tariff, by attaching
about 800 amendments to the
original bill; the Senate made
the Wilson tariff, by attaching a
few less amendments than it had
put upon the Mckinley bill, and
if the Dingley bill becomes a law
in anything like the shape in
which the Republican members
of Finance Committee have sub
mitted it to the full committee,
the Senate will have another
tariff bill to its credit, notwith-
standing the Constitutional pro
vision that all revenue bills shall
originate in the House. In the
number of amendments added
the Dingley bill breaks all rec
ords, the number exceeding one
thousand. No date has yet beer
agreed upon to report the bill tc
the Senate, but unless something
not now expected shall occur tc
prevent it will be reported inside
of ten days. 1t looks now as
thou gh the hottest fight over the
tariff would be between Republi
cans, instead of between Demo
Gratis and Republicans"

holding his own. 1t was reported that
the sufferers mental powers were less
active, and that it took more 10 arouse
him when his attendants wished to ques-
ton him.
For some time before Colonel Crocker
was stricken down last Friday 1t was
known among a few of his most intimate
as ociates that he was in very bad way
He had been warned that he was suffer-
ing from Brights disease and that he
could not recover, although death might
be delayed He seemed to think, how
ever, that the danger was long way in
the future and did not appreciate how
serious his condition was. In fact very
shortly before the stroke of paralysis he
declared he felt better than he had felt

according to the physicians, only aggra-
waited a trouble which was itself fatal.

following statement concerning Colonel
Crocker's condition:
Colonel Crocker has not improved any

STATE PRINTER AGAIN.
The Matter of His Shutting
Shop Referred to Mr..
Creswell.
An Appropriation Asked For to Buy a
Yard for the Polytechnic
School.

At meeting of the Board of Education n
! on Wednesday a communication from Su
perintendent of Public Instruction Sam
uel 7. Black was read, giving notice that
the State Printer has closed tho State
Printing Office with the exception of the
textbook department. Orders for school,
blanks. including school registers, were
filed with the State Printer some months
ago, but be has been anable to fill them.
The Superintendent suggests that The
board consult imm ediately the proper
legal authority rs to the legality and ad,
vi sa bIlity of having the local government
provide at the expense of the City and
County such blanks as may be immedi-
ately necessary.
The board decided to refer the matter to
the City and County Attorney.
The Finance Committee reported &C.
ommendation that the Board of Supervis-
ors be asked for an appropriation of $55, 00C
for the purchase of lot fronting "a lee
on Stockton street as a recreation ground
for the Polytechnic High School.
Director Head objected. He said he
had not heard of this, which 10 consid.
cred a very important matter. Members
of the board were not supposed to be real
estate experts, and he did not know
whether the lot was worth the money.
Chairman Waller of the Finance Com
mittee said 1T would do no harm to ask for
$50, 900, and the Board of Supervisors could
expert the matter themselves.
1t was not deemed wise to do this, and
the recommendation was amended so as
to ask for an appropriation-the sum not
named-for the purchase OF the lot.
superintendent Webster reported con-
corning the distribution OF medals in all
but one or two schools. One OF these was
the night school in charge OF ex-Superin-
tendent Babcock. Mr.. Babcock said the
superintendent had paid no attention to
the circular addressed to him in this mat
ter. He had. in fact, answered but one
circular addressed 10 him since he Web
ster) had been superintendent
Upon motion of Waller. Mr.. Babcock
Will be requested to explain why he did
not answer this circular.
By motion of superintendent Webster,
special meeting of the board will be
held next Wednesday evening to consider
the course of studies which has been pre-
pared by the superintendent.

ALON GTHE WATERFRONT
Narrow Escape From Instant
Death of Michael Dunn, a
Longshoreman.
he Went Down Chute on the Dorio
With a Buoketful of
Coal.

Michael Dunn, longshoreman on the
Pacific Mail dock, had a narrow escape
from instant death yesterday. He was
engaged in the work of discharging coal
from the bark Rufus E. Wood into the
steamer Doric when one of the chutes be-
came choked. Dunn jumped on the mass
of coal in an endeavor to force it down.
w hile he was thus engaged the men in
the ships bunkers were hard at work
shoVeling the coal away in order to clear
the glut. Without moments warning
the entire mass collapsed ana Dunn went
down with it. When ne reached the hold
OF the ship the big mass of coal which fol-
lowed struck him on the base of the skull,
fracturing it and laying the scalp bare for
space of about three square inches. He
was picked up in an unconscious condi-
ton, the ambulance was sent for and he
was taken to the branch Receiving Hos
pital on the water front. Everything pos
sible was done for him, and the doctors
think he has very poor chance for his
life.
The American bark St. James got in
yesterday after verv lengthy passage of
167 days from New York. Nearly fort
night ago she was SPOKEN outside by the
expected daily ever since. The captain says
that In tue last three weeks there has been
almost dead calm outside of the Fara-
lions. During his entire run from New
YORK he only encountered one decent
gale, and during that the ship lost her
foreroyal-yard and couple of sails. AS
the merchandise on board of the ST.
James was urgently neele she was iaker
direct from sea TO a berth at Howard
