There are accumu' atiug evils
dences of a desire on the part Of
many Republicans to modify ma
terialIy the position of their party
on tbs tariff question.
One of the foremost Republi-
can leaders in Congress, Repre-
sentative Babcock, who was chair
man of the last Congressional
campaign committee, introduced a
bill at the last session of Congress
which provides that trustsmade
steel and from shall be placed ups
on the free list, and he will urge
such legislation at the next ses-
sion.
In several leading Republican
organs we have found of late Wig
orous attacks upon the protection
policy. which it was until recently
considered rank treason to true
Republicanism to even criticize.
But the most notable declara-
tion that we have see from such
a source appears in the Philadel-
phia Press, whose editor and
chief owner is Postmaster General
Smith.
The Press says, in speaking of
the steel industry: "Higher prices
r g maintained here now, but
much lower ones are possible"
The article practically charges
that the effect of the protective
tariff is to "hold up" the people
for the benefit of the trusts. The
writer says:
"During 1895 and through 1897
the United States produced cheap
er iron and steel than any country
in the world, and under similar
pressure it can do 1t again. "Tne
writer goes on to say that Ameri-
ca has nothing to fear in competl-
ton when the supply again over
runs the demand, and the question
of cost becomes a paramount ims
p~ortance. After mentioning the
low figures at which United States
dealers have made pig iron, bill
let's, plates and bars at a profit, he
adds: ''We may have to get
down to these figures again, and
can do it as we did before with q
small margin of profit if neces
sary, but for the present we are
getting 60 to 100 per cent better"
This is a remarkable and very
significant admission for a news.
paper which may well be supposed
to represent the views and desires
we may also say the expressions
of the administration more fully
and more accurately than any
other publication. It seems that
the Republican party is beginning
to feel that the policy of proiec-
ton is getting to be too heavy a
load to carry.

40 shows, every one OF them possess

large number offered. There has been
great rivalry among show people to

SHARED IN WALL Street.
DISTINGUISHED MEN IN
WASHINGTON WHO
WE'RE CAUGHT.

WASHINGTON WHO
WE'RE CAUGHT.
Not Always Presidents and Sec
retaries of Railroads Can Give
the Proper Tip On Stocks
Women, Among the
Losers.
Wall street "caught" a few
distinguished gentlemen last
week. A Southwestern Senator,
it is stated, lost $75, 900 in a day.
II his name was mentioned it
would create a good deal of Cos
sip in the Southwest. He is not a
man able to speculate, but has
been given certain ''tlps" by his
friends in the Senate, and an un-
expected drop in Northern Pas
cifc stock left him without a
cent. The fever of speculation
attacked all classes, from United
States Senators to messenger
boys. There was a good deal dos
ing in the bucket shops in Wash
ington, as we'll as in Wall street,
last week.
The Western Senator mention
ed is not considered a Spectator
by any means. He is regarded in
the United States Senate as a
"Holman" of that body. It will
be recalled that Representative
Holman, of Indiana, was looked
upon as the watch dog of the
Treasury. This Western Senator
lisa member of the Appropria.
ton Committee of the upper
house. He never loses sight of
the fact that the country and the
Treasury should be protected
either in committee or in debate,
1t seems, therefore, rather odd
that this Senator, who is so an
Yious to keep down Government
appropriations, lost $75 900 on
one deal In a Washington buck
ct shop. It is said that, attracted
by the spectacle Of rapidly in>
creasing prices, he had gone in
to the market, dealing on mar.
gins in the ofbe of Washing.
ton bucket shop, and had made
an excellent deal, as he consid-
cred it, of 500, 900. This Senator
was unwise enough to put all his
profits up principally on Wes-
tern railroad stocks (Northern
Paciic.)
When the crash came, an East
ern Senator endeavored to mar.
gin" the Southwestern Senators.
deal, but as the amount was SO
great he was so unable to do so.
There was something like $780,
900 involved. The personal loss to
the Senator from the Southwest,
who, IS is we'll Known, only
draws IS, 900 year, made for
him at one time the most extrav.
agant deal IN his life. Today he
is sorry; so is the Eastern Sana.

his bucket shop transaction. Is is
stated in Washington, it might be
added, that in Government de-
partments mady pools had form.
ed. into which each member put
from $25 to 800 for investment
through local brokers. All of these
pools have been wiped out. A
young woman in the Treasury
Department., who recently inher-
tied S., 900 through a life insur-
ance policy, put it all into the
stock market. Her profits amount
ed to about $4,000 up to Tuess
day evening. The drop In stocks
on Wednesday and Thursday
cleaned out all her profits aud
her original $4,000.

Corn King. Phillips Made S25O.OOO with
other Mems NToney-His Predic.
ton About Corn.

New York, June 19.--George Phil
lips, the corn king" visited the pro-
duce exchange and was given a great
reception by the brokers. He predict
ed that September corn would sell at
so cents and October at 80 cents. He
said: II made over S., 100000 for my
customers in the corner on May
corn. There were $50 of them, and be-
sides that thousands of farmers made
millions out of that corner by selling
their corn at the prices fixed by us.
I did not use any of my money, but
often put up 100000 day as margins.
I could thus swing 100000 bushels
at time. My own profits amounted
to about $250,O0O, but mine was all
in the shape of commission. I did not
risk cent. It was the other fellows
who took the risk. It is easier to send
the price of corn up, because the de-
mand for it is growing faster than

The New Indian Land to Be Thrown Open
Will Be the Last for Many
Years.

Oklahoma City, Ok, J4ne 19.-The
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reserva-
ton, which President Mckinley will
by proclamation soon thrown open
to settlement, is so well known to ex-
plorers. surveyors and cattlemen, and
has been SO thoroughly advertised,
that the eyes of thousands of home
seekers are turned toward it now. The
reservation will probably be the last
Indian land TINS offered by the govern
ment for public settlement for many
years Roughly, the new reservation
is bounded on the south by Red river,
on the east by the Chicago, Rock Is
land & Pacific railroad in the Chicl<a-
saw nation; ON the west by the North
fork of Red river, and on the north by
the Washita river. The reservation
comprises 100000 acres. The Wichita
mountains, slightly northwest way,
which traverse the western edge of
the middle of the reservation, form a
watershed from whence the numerous
creeks and small rivers flow either to-
ward Red river or the Washita river.
For the most part the land is rolling,
well watered and we'll drained.

in 1894.

st. Petersburg, June ia daugh-
ter has been born to the car and
czarina of Russia. This is the fourth
child. The other three-Olga, Tatiana
and Marie-are girls, too. The new
daughter win be named Anastasia-
The fact that these four children are
girls ppay change the destinies of a
nation that includes a tenth of the
worlds population. The car, who is
intensely pious. prayed long and ear
nestly before the birth of each that the
child might be a boy, and therefore
heir to the Russian throne. The fail
ure of Providence to answer the pray
er has convinced many superstitious
Russians that God does not favor the
rule of the car, especially as for a
century or more the first born of each
car has been a boy.
The car is a nervous and rather del
icate man. Should he have no son, the
throne will pass to Grand Duke Mi
chael, the only brother he has left,
and after Michael, who is not yet mar
ried, save a morganatic marriage,
comes the cars uncle, Grand Duke
Vladimir The car and czarina were
married in 1854. She is in her TWEEN

SEEDS AND PLANTS.
Plan for Their Distl ibution by the
Agricultural Department.
Congressman VIII Have Double the Amount
of Vegetable Seed and so Trees-To
Build Up Rice Industry in
the South.

Washington, June 2O.-Millions of
pounds of rice are imported every
year, and unless Secretary Wilson and
Prof. Galloway, who has direct charge
of this work, are greatly mistaken,
within a comparatively short time
enough rice will be produced in the
south to supply the home demand, to-
gether with a large surplus which
they believe will find market
abroad. The best quality of rice that
can be found will be employed in
building up this industry. An expert
of the department will be sent to the
south, where he will superintend the
experiments in rice growing, and will
follow up the new industry in such a
way success is bound tc attend the
efforts of the department, as it has
been demonstrated that the south has
ample facilities for growing more of
this product than the people of this
country can possibly use.
1t is announced also that double
the usual quantity of vegetable seeds
will be distributed to congressman
in 1902. In addition to the allotment
OF seeds, each congressman will have
so trees at his disposal. They will be
of different varieties, selected partic-
ularly with view to suiting the eli
mate in which they will be grown.
Many of these will be nut trees, such
as pecans and other varieties which
grow in this country.
Secretary Wilson has determined
to distribute trees with a hope of inn
planting a love of trees in the breasts
of the people and melting them to
follow the example set by the de-
partment as we'll as to have a perma-
nent showing for the money expend-
ed. In addition to the trees distrib-
uted, 3s,30O,384 packets of seeds will
be distributed. Each congressman
will have at his disposal $4,000 pack
ages of vegetable seeds, 400 of flow
ers, 10 of tobacco, 40 of cotton, 80 of
lawn grass, 25 of sugar beets, so of
forage crops, 22O bulbs, $50 strawber-
ries and 40 grapes. The strawber-
ries will be of new and rare varieties
and the grapes are yet to be selected.
