DlNGLEY ON THE TARIFF.
Asserts That There VIII He Ne Im-
 mediate Revision.

Washington, Nov. 15. = Representa- tive Dingley. chairman of the ways and means committee, says in an interview regarding the proposed revision of the tariff:
 "The government will need for some time all the revenue produced by the war taxes. During the month of Octo- Der the war expenditures exceeded the war revenue by some s14. .000, 900, and this month they will be s1O.000.o0o in excess. This being the case, there will be no change at least this fiscal year. The war revenue act will continue in force and unchanged, except perhaps in a few minor administrative features, for at least a year longer.
 Tt is hardly necessary to add" con- tinued Mir. Dingley, that there will be no revision of the tariff, although have seen some statement to the effect that such revision is contemplated.
 "The session is limited to three months" continued Mir Dingley, "and that short period will be mainly occu- pied in passing the appropriation bills in enacting new laws for the regular army and In deciding upon the legisla- ton necessary for the government of Hawaii. In addition to these important matters, the usual number of routine matters will arise. From the present outlook the session will be well under way before the treaty of peace with Spain will be laid before the senate, and the ratification of that document may not be accomplished before the 4th of March arrives"

The Colonial Secretary Makes .
 Speech at Manchester.
 Manchester, Nov. 16.-At the National Liberal Unionist conference here yes terday Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies. made his first public speech since his return from the United States.
 MT. Chamberlain, who was much more explicit on the subject of Anglo French relations than any of his col- leagues in the cabinet had been, said it was the hope of every friend of peace that the I. .ench withdrawal from Fashoda is indicative of their accept ance of the principle of British control of the whole valley of the Nile, regard ing which there cannot be any discus sion whatever"
 After referring to the thorough and complete sympathy so noticeable be- tween the motherland and her colonies MT. Chamberlain continued as follows:
 What is of equal importance, our American kinsfolk have begun to un- derstand us better. If we have had diff ferences in the past, I believe they have arisen entirely from the want of proper mutual understanding, but now the American people know that in the late trouble our hearts went out to them, and they heartily reciprocate our good feelings.
 T shall not attempt to predict what may follow this better feeling, but I am at least hope that in the future the understanding of which have spoken may at least hope that in the future the of that understanding we two may be able to guarantee peace and civilization to the world"
 The expression of these sentiments were greeted with prolonged applause.

Appropriate Hymns.

Some people have peculiar notions of what is appropriate. Some time age a resident of a neighboring town was preaching at the Gladstone jail and prefaced his remarks by regretting the small attendance. At race meeting held at - band was engaged to play Inappropriate musio," and it was found that the numbers selected were from Moody and Sankey. "Go Bury Thy Sor- row" was one of them. and the others were all equally appropriate.
 Christmas religious service was held at the local jail and hymns suitable to the occasion were of course selected. The first one was Free From the Law, Oh, Happy Condition" and the last, "we'll Never Leave This Safe Abode, Refuge In the Time of storm" The funny side of it all appealed to some of the inmates, and the intended good ef- feet of the service was lost.-Adelaide Quiz

 and the Union Jack Intwined.
 New York, Nov. 16-Harmonious re- lationship between Great Britain and the United States of America was the theme of the one hundred and thirtieth annual dinner of the Chamber of Com merce at Delmonico's last night. It was proclaimed in the lavish decorations of the large banqueting hall the union jack and the stars and stripes being united in festoons on the four walls. It was repeated in the beautifully design ed and richly embellished menu card. It was heard in the singing of God Save the Queen" and of "The Star Spangled Banner by the hundreds of prominent men at the dinner. It was the keynote of the eloquent speeches for which the we'll ordered repast served as an introduction. It spoke most loud ly in the tremendous applause which greeted the sentiments uttered by Lord Herschell, the president of the Cana dian-American joint high commission, In responding to the toast, ''The Future Relations Between Great Britain and the United StateS-A determined union of heart and purpose will carry the forces of justice and humanity the world over"
 Lord Herschelps speech was the speech of the evening, and he aroused the greatest enthusiasm when he said, referring to the union of the English and American flags:
 'T rejoice to see them united in con cord, not in any spirit of arrogance to- ward other people, not as desiring to in- fringe the rights of any other power, but because I see in that union real safeguard for the maintenance of peace in the world, and because I see more than that-I see the surest guarantee of an extended reign of liberty and jus tice."

CANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY NOVEMBER IT.
A Bona Eide Remedy.

One reason that we SO enthusiastically en- dorse Vinol is that it is genuine remedy. Vinolis not patent medicine, nor does Vinol contain any ingredient that is not printed on the label of each bottle.
 Mir. Warren Toppan, of Lynn, who is a prominent chemist of that city, is impressed by the merits of Vinol largely on this account. He writes as follows:
 "Another great point that impresses me strongly in favor of Vinol is the fact it is an absolutely honest remedy, that contains on it's label description of everything of which it is composed. On this account Vinol should be placed in an entirely different class from the many patent medicines and secret nos- trums of which the public have become sus- picious."
 Vinol we have learned by experience to be more efficient than cod liver oil in any form in which cod liver oil has ever been sold. Vinol in addition is positively delicious to the taste. As a reconstructor Vinol has no equal. Yours very truly,

terday Saturday was extremely interest
ing. The Carlists and Republicans had Bit
terly criticised the action of the govern
ment, of the regency and the monarchy.
in persisting during the past twenty-four
years In policy of too systematic neutral
ity and isolation in Europe, which now, in
spain's hour of trial. has deprived her Of
anything but platonic sympathy.
Senior Gullon, the foreign minister, in the
course of his reply, remarked that alliances
were founded upon interest alone, and as
Spain could offer but little other powers
would only give her little.
Senior Silvela, In a speech that made a
profound impression and Is regarded as
marking turning point in SPANS politics,
declared that as the Cuban problem was
now reduced to question Of honor for
the Spanish arms" 1t behooved the minis
tiers to assume without hesitation the re-
sponsibility of reciding when the point of
honor had been sufficiently satisfied. When
that point had been reached, he said, it
would be time to appeal to the nations of
Europe, SO that they could decide what
ought to be done TO restore peace and de-
termine the fate Of Cuba, because all the
powers were interested in Cuba's future.
Senior Silvela declared that all the ideal.
list foreign policies were things of the past;
that nations nowadays were only moved by
their interests, and that, therefore, If Spain
sought the intervention of the powers she
must approach them with something
practicable, for instance, on the basis of
the Philippine islands, and with her hands
full"
Everybody was struck by Senior Silvela's
transparent illusions to future and inev-
table sacrifices and concessions. His elo-
uuent and powerful speech concluded with
the plain declaration that he and his party
were ready for office, If the Liberal min
istry recoiled from the heavy responsible
ties of such policy.
The speech will prolong the debates on
the address, as the leaders of the opposi-
ton and Senior Sagasta have intimated that
they will reply on Tuesday.
Ell impartial says: 1T behooves the ma
ton. not the cabinet to say when honor IS
satisfied" This criticism practically con-
firms Senior Silvela's views.
The April settlement of the bourse has
been much easier than was expected. The
prices of all articles imported from abroad
are rising rapidly, the war having de-
industry. The Bank of Spain's balance
sheet shows a fresh decline of 900 pc
setas in the silver cash on hand, owing to
the run on the provincial branches. Until
further notice the government has sus-
pended all mail service between Spain and
the West Indies.
