Washington, Now 30-Chairman
Payne of the ways and means commit
tee issued notices today recalling the
previous notice of a full committee
meeting tomorrow to consider the bill
for a reduction of the war revenue.
1t was given out officially that this
was done because Messrs. Grosvenor
and Tawney were absent attending the
funeral Of the late Senator Davis, and
then that Steele would not BIZ here,
leaving the republicans short of a ma
jority in the committee. Tawney did
not go to Minnesota, however, and it
was learned this afternoon that Gros-
venor will arrive in Washington to-
morrow.
The real reason that the committee
will not meet tomorrow, it is stated,
is because of the fact that further in
formation is desired as to the views
of the republican members generally
in reference to this bill.
Such features of the measure pre-
pared by the republican members as
have become known, together with the

NOTICE OF MEETING WITHDRAWN
Chairman Payne Decides to Postpone Consideration
Of New Revenue Bill by the Ways
and Means Committee.

omissions which the committee has
made in the proposed reductions,
have caused considerable opposition
and it is probable that a conference or
caucus of republican members will be
held before a final decision is reached.
The greatest opposition that has de-
veloped comes from the brewing in
terests. Republicans from districts
where there is a great deal Of beer
manufactured are making serious pro-
tests against the action Of the com-
mittee in not reducing the tax on beer.
There are some other interests also
which are making protests and the re-
publican members of the house have
telegraphed their friends on the ways
and means committee that they think
the proposed bill should'be changed.
The fact that the majority in the
present house is only IS warns the
republican managers that the bill
must be supported by practically the
entire republican membership in order
to pass. If General Grosvenor arrives
tomorrow it is possible that the repub-
lican members now in the city may
make a request for a caucus to be held
early next week.

SENATORS IN COUNSEL.
Meet Informally to Discuss Matters
Now Pending.

Washington, Nov. 3O-A number Of
prominent republican senators held an
informal conference today and dis
cussed the measures to come before
the mex session of congress. Revision
of the war revenue law came in for
most of the discussion. While moth
ing was decided, it was the c]oncensus
Of opinion that the reYision should be
st thorough as to relieve the world
entirely of the possibility of being
considered temporary. They believe
that whatever changes are to be made
should be at the short session because
if taken up at the long session an
effort might be made to revise the
tariff and this they wish to avoid.
They also showed a disposition to push
the ship subsidy bill.

DEATH BY

Spokane, Nov. 30-Four lives were
lost here tonight by the capsizing of a
ferry boat in the Spokane river. The
ferry is about two miles down the
river. It was crossing the stream
with IS workmen, who had ended
their days work in a construction
camp near the Great Northern's new
bridge. The men crowded the boat
and it was forced under the swift cur
rent and swamped. All the men were
thrown into the water. Five swan
ashore and others climbed onto the
capsized boat. The waves ran high
and washed four of them off to death.
The dead are L. Simons, colored, Jack
Lovett and two unknown Italians.

MANY TOPICS
To DISCUSS
MATTERS EXERCISING THE
BRITISH MIND.
BEER and KRUGER TIE
Dewet's Boldness Gives Shock.
Only One Source Of Con-
graduation Left.

London, Dec. IA curious: medley
of topics has been engaging the at
tention of Great Britain this week, the
news kaleidoscope opening with Krug-
er's doings and sayings. These are
still retailed fully and seem to hold
the audience. But a strong rival
cropped up. 1t was when the people
learned that the so-called backbone"
of Great Britain, namely beer, was
im]pregnated with arsenic. The poison
ing epidemic at Manchester, which has
resulted therefrom, sent a shock
through the nation. Without allow
ing it time for recovery from this
blow, General Dewet came out of his
supposed seclusion and spread victory
at Dewetsdorp in a n which
made the people wonder if the British
army is any good at all.
The only item of congratulation
from the British point of view is the
return Of the Royal Canadian regi-
ment from South Africa, which
affords editorial writer's a glorious op-
portunity for dilating on the solidity
and splendor of the British empire.
AS long as the Canadians remain here,
Kruger, Dewet, the evil effects Of beer
and other adverse features are likely
to be quickly forgotten, so accustomed
has Great Britain grown to reverses.
How truly pathetic was the meet
ing of the queen and her Canadian
soldiers seems to have escaped the
English papers.
Sitting in her carriage, the queen
intently watched the men as they
marched by within a few feet Of her
and she commenced her speech in
brave tones. 1t was only a few
words, but before twas finished tears
rolled down her majesty's face and
her voice broke and at the end it was
almost a sob. Tt was not astonishing,
therefore, that when Colonel Otter re-
piled it was in trembling tones, and
not one of the men whom he led into
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1900-12-04

nearly SO engagements felt ashamed
Of the grizzled colonel because his
cheek was wet with tears. Although
so deeply affected, the queen appeared
to be enjoying her usual health.
The reason only three companies of
Canadians came back to England is
that shortly before, the end of the
year for which the Canadians he'd
volunteered had expired Colonel Otter
communicated with Lord Roberts,
notifying him Of the fact. The COM
maDder-in-chief said he would much
like the regiment to remain longer
and asked Colonel Otter to sound his
men. The colonel asked the officers,
who, without consulting the men en-
Enthusiastically guaranteed that their
companies would remain. When the
men heard this they took umbrage and
in measured tones informed the au-
thorities that they wished to return in
the stipulated time. Lord Roberts
wrote a letter particularly begging
them to stay a little longer, but the
regiment being split up in various
parts Of the country and the decision
having been made. they voted to go
direct to Canada, with the exception
of Companies A and B. Company I
being composed Of regulars was obliged
to remain and A and B were stationed
at headquarters. AS a reward for
staying in South Africa, Lord Rob-
erts enabled Companies A, B and I to
partake in the Pretoria celebrations
o,l than copf thoro ho~on NV II re
England, only a month later than
their comrades.
The disintegration Of the regiment
at such a period caused the keenest re-
grets and heartburnings.

RAILROADS AT A

Mansfield, Ohio, Dec. IA battle
today between a force of graders of

caused by the Short Line attempting

cure an injunction against the Short
Line, in retaliation for that which the
Short Line obtained last night against
the Pennsylvania. There were several
fights between Short Line men and

day.-Dear Grant: Your letter just
received and when you, say you have
not heard from me I must tell you
very plainly that you are telling a
falsehood, or else some Oh else is get
ting your mail, which I very much
doubt. I do not blame you in the
least, dear, but why have you kept up
the farce so long? and why ask for my
photo? When you do not care for me
you will not care for my picture, IN
less you want to give it to your
housekeeper.
Il can only blame myself and my
miserable temper.
Il have known ever since that even
ing we had that terrible quarrel that
you would never be the same again.
But lied to myself and you added your
lies to mine to make me think that
you still cared, and even in the face
of the letters from Landusky telling
me how everything was, still thought
you had forgiven me-. -
s'I'm tired of this endless strife and
disappointment, and, more than all,
I'm tired Of the physical suffering and
nights of torture, so I have made up
my mind to cash in. This will be one
poker debt you will not be called upon
to pay. With my best wishes for your
happiness, Agnes"
