WASHINGTON, D. c., FEB az. 1901
War Tax Reduction.

The Conference Committee on
the War Revenue bill met on
Thursday and made some prog
ress. The mouthpiece OF the p d.
ministration the same evening gave
notice that it would be inadvisable
to make any reductions TOR at least
a year. Ii the matter can be got
ten out OF the committee and be-
fore the House, the mouthpiece
will experience something in the
nature OF a surprise.
AS we indicate in article on our
first page, with the bank check tax
eliminated and the proposed re-
duction in the tobacco tax post
poned for the present or at least
modified, an agreement can be
reached, and all efforts are now
beng directed towards that end,
with encouraging prospects OF sue
cess at this writing.

Babcook Anti Trust Bill.

The Babcock Free Metal bill is
a significant expression Of opin-
ion, owing to the fact that it marks
a tendency on the part OF inAuen-
tial Republicans o abanoon some
OF their erring protected" pets in
the iron business. Mr.. Babcock
is the most prominent Republican

tion in the House OF Representa-
tives and now holds his seat by a
majority OF 1000. For rhe last six
years he has been chairman OF the

sicnal Committee and he is now
a member OF the Wavs and Means
Committee. He is Chairman Of
the District Of Columbia Commit.

steel business. The duties provided by
the DlDgley act were undoubtedly

the iron and steel business was an infant
industry. 1t has now grown to enormous
proportions, and is probably the most
extensi, c manufacturing business in the
country. We are ADVISED that the
biggest consolidation yet attempted Is
now about to be effected IN the steel
business, and from all evidence that can

protection afforded by the Dingley act
IS no longer necessary

When the Senate a short time

War Department bearing on the
Cuban frauds. the Secretary re-
fused to give it. He was upheld
by the President, and the Senate

When the Under Secretary Tor
War Of the British Government
pursued the same tactics the other
day, in reference to a demand for
information concerning the war in
South Africa, the Ministry came
near paying the penalty Of defeat
for its failure to obey the sum-
mons Of Parliament, the Govern
ment majority being reduced on a
vote Of confidence from Iso to AZ.
Another re fusal will work its over

The representatives of the peo
pie in England have still some
rights which the ruling powers
are bound TO respect. 1t made no
difference in this case that the de

Jonnn. sohafrer,'s Complaint.


Jonn Il. schafferTs Complain.
Without entering into the merits
OF the grievance Mr.. SchatteTt
complains Of, the SENTINEL sub
mits that even if a citizen makes a
reque 1t OF an official OF the District
Government that is contrary to the
rules and regulations governing
the case, common politeness would
dictate the necessity OF an explain
alton for the refusal when explain
alton is asked. Changes in regu-
,ations are OF such frequent o-cuT-
renee that 1t is almost impossible
for a man to keep track of them.
All the more reason then for for
bearance with our ignorance.
MIR Schaffert is a well known
business man and taxpayer in our
community, and as such is entitled
to some consideration at the hands
ot those whom his taxes support.
We trust the Commissioners will
look into this complaint and see
that the information asked is given.
Mr.. Schaffert writes:
Mr.. I oUIs ScHADE,
Editor Washington Sentinel.
Washington, d. {,
Dear Sir-As an old subscriber OF
vOur paper, who has ALWAYS admired
your efforts in behalf OF our German
adopted citizens, l desire through
your columns TO call attention to the
peculiar administration OF affairs by the
Plumbing Inspector of the District OF
Columbia.
On the 22d of Nov 1900, applied for
a permit at the Plumbing Inspe ector's
Office. and my drawings and specifca-
tons weie rejected. I Ithereupon asked
the Inspector his reasons for taking
such acton, and he refused to give me a
defnite explanation and simply stated
ne would not sign the permit. After
this oc c-urrence l called at the Office
on several occasions ard attempted
to find out from the Inspector Uhereiu
my paper varied from the rules ard
regulations OF the Plumbing Depart
ment
Two years ago, in exactlva similar
case, this Inspector refused to give me
a permit, stating that had not come
within the regulations, and later on
gave another contractor a permit for
the work bad apple d for, thus cutting
me out of this contract.
have in vain appealed for Justice To
the Commissioners, and regret my Iua-
bllity to getit.
Very Respectfully yours,

James A. Herne, in his latest and most
scccessful play, "Sag Harbor," COM
mences an engagement Of one week at
the Columbia Theatre next Monday
evening. This will be the tingulshed
author-actor's first appearance here in
two years, and perhaps the last he viii
ever make here, as he now seriously
contemplates retiring from active stage
work to devote himself to the writing
and production ofuew plays. The story
deals With the loves and lives OF the
simple but noble folk Of this quaint but
beautiful island spot. The delightful
atmosphere, the yer, original and hum
orous scenes OF courtship between old
Capt Dan Marble, PLAYED by Mr. Herne,
and his buxom 'Lizabeth Ann, a spinster
entirely new TO the stage, and the witty
lines OF FIR ema7 Whitmarsh, with the
many beautiful scenes and tender pas
sages of romance between the Young
lovers, go to make up an evening Of
pleasure There will be matinees on
Thursday and Saturday.
