NAL PARK AT APp0MATT0X
-.tator Quny Introduces Bill Pro-
,iding 100000 for the Purpose.

Senator Quay yesterday introduced a
bill providing for the establishment ii a
nationa. park and peace monument at
Appomattox The measure is similar to
one recently introduced in the House and
favorabIy reported by the Committee on
Military Affairs of that body.
The object of the bill is not to found
another battle park but, in the language
of the bill. to commemorate the end of
the great civil war conflict. The plan
has been advocated by the Grand Army
of the Republic and by the Confederate
Veterans.
The bill provides 100000 for the pur-
pose of establishing the park and erect
ing the monument.

There is a very strong sentiment among
the Republican members of the House
against any reciprocity legislation for
Cuba. For the purpose of emphasizing
the matter petition has been addressed
to the Ways and Means Committee asking
which shall injuriously affect American
industries.
The petition was circulated by Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith of Michi

secured seventy-fve signatures. By the

In view of this pronounced opposition to
the proposed % per cent reduction OF the
Cuban tariff it is very doubtful if the
Ways and Means Committee will report
any Cuban tariff bill this session.
In addition to the opposition against
Cuban sugar and tobacco there is a feel
ing that if a special tariff bill is reported
it will be amended and thus open up that
question.

The Danish treaty was reported favor
ably to the Senate yesterday by the Com
m,ttee on Foreign Relations. The report
was unanimous.
The committee also instructed Senator
Spooper to make a written report regard
ing the legal question whether the Sen
ate has the right to confirm reciprocity
treaties which provide for changes in the
revenue of the Government.
Senator Hoar a few days ago made a

the Senate has full power to confirm such
treaties without the assistance of the
House of Representatives.
1t is understood that several members
of the House take different view of the
question and this has led to some doubt
as to how the question will be decided.
Senator Spooner is understood to have
made an oral argument Of the question
yesterday before the Foreign Relations
Committee and to have taken the same

NOT A UNIT ON WAR
REVENUE TAX BILL
Republicans Seek to Cut Off
Tariff Amendments.
Lenders Apprehensiye of Result of
Placing Steel and Structural
Iron on Free List.

All is not serene in the ranks of the
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee. And it's the bill to
abolish all the war internal revenue
taxes that is causing trouble.
The Republican leaders are apprehen-
siye that some one on their side of the
Eouse-dnd it may be Mr.. Babcock-wilI
offer as an amendment TO the war revenue
repeal bill the Babcock bill to place steel
aud structural iron on the free list. and
thus open up the tariff question in gem
eral. This, Of course, Speaker Henderson
Is more than anxious 10 avoid.
To Be Referred 10 IA Caucus
II was suggested yesterday by Messrs.
Payne and Dalzell that the bill to repeal
the war revenue taxes be referred to a
caucus for discussion, and that if the
sense OF the caucus is to pass the bill as
reported from the Ways and Means Com
mittee'then the Committee on Rules IS
TO report special order to cut off all
amendments except such as relate solely
TO the war revenue taxes.
The preliminary move was made yester-
day when the Republican members OF the
Ways and Means Committee began sys-
tematic canvass OF the Republican mem
bers Of the House by sounding them on
the proposition to stand BY the report
of the majority of the Ways and Means
and vote for a special order from the
Rules Committee to cut of all amend
n.ents as stated.
Appropriation Bills First.
II there is a respectable number Of
members who refuse to commit them
selves. then caucus will be called and
each member OF the caucus will be bound
by the action of the caucus.
The war revenue repeal bill however,
will not be called up in the House until
after several Of the big appropriation
tills have been passed.

A RICH MAN KILLED.
Tendency of the Modern NewspaDeF
to Discriminate Between the
Rich and the Poor.

Under this title the editor of the
Century comments on "a growing
tendency to snobbery in portion
of the press:
''The observer of American man
ners is called upon to note curious
tendency of some of our newspapers
and to question whether it is to be
charged purely to sensationalism-of
which it is undoubtedly one form
or whether it reflects growing ten
dency of the American mind. We re-
fer to the habit of recording acct
dents and other interesting occur
rences as happening not to mortals,
or prospective possessors, of world
ly goods. In the journalistic scare
heads it is not John Jones, of Jones'
vile, who has been run over at the
railroad crossing, but "A Rich Man
Killed. It is net Miss Mary Marigold
who has been struck by lightning
while riding on the old Marlborough
road, but The laughter of a Million
aire.' The Son of a Wealthy Con-
tractor has been hurt in an auto
mobile smash-up; The Great-Aunt of
One of the Richest Men in Laurel
Comfy has fallen out of a second
story window; "A Millionairess' has
come near getting drowned; The
Second Cousin of Multi-millian-
aire' has written play.
''Is this sort of thing plain sncb-
bishness in the maker of the scare
head, and in that part of the public
which is supposedly pleased with this
method of identification, or is it
sign of a general greed for money
and of curiosity concerning those
who have it? There are those who
hold that snobbishness is confined to
the inhabitants of countries that ex-
ist under monarchical system of
government, and to the few in other
countries who toady to foreign aris-
tocracies. There are those who hold,
also, that the possession of much or
little money is not an important dis
tinction in the minds of Americans.
But we have noticed that those per-.
sons who have Travelled farthest and
best are apt to come to the con-
clusion that there is a good deal of
similarity in human nature.
Gas matter of fact, when you get
three persons together of varying
abilities or culture, you are in danger
of having Immediately, in any COM
munity, an upper, middle, and lower
class, as the English call it; and if

and small. The inventors and man
ayers queered their own business by
claiming that they could transmit in
telligence over wires thousand miles
in length just as easily as over the one
wire of forty miles, then in operation.
People naturally were inclined to be-
lieve that they were lying. The pam
phlet says: "The term circuit, used
frequently in this work, has refer
ence to the wire. which, commencing
at the positive pole of the battery,
goes to any distance and returns to
he negative pole of the battery.
When its going and returning are
continuous or unbroken, the circuit
is said to be closed or complete"
There is the claim that the wire
will carry the electric circuit "to
any distance" That might mean
around the entire earth. That was a
wonderful claim for that period, 1s45.
One of the most remarkable things
set forth in that pamphlet is the state
ment that Morse at one time contem-
plated using twentysix wires for the

closed unto men,"
The pamphlet which Mr.. Lansburgh
loaned the writer was issued manifest
ly for the purpose of booming the new
enterprise; and presumably to aid in
the disposal of stock in order to raise
money to further develop the business.
Stock which people to-day would be
glad to buy was hesitatingly taken in
those days. 1t seems strange to us
that anybody should have hesitated.
But distrust is the habit of conserva-
tive men. The narrator once heard
the great Methodist pulpit orator,
Bishop Simpson, say: .....-
How can anybody blame the people
for not accepting Jesus when he was
on earth? I don't blame them. He
was out Of the ordinary. They did not
comprehend His words or His works.
He spoke as never man spake. His
words were high above them. His
works made the wise and conservative
old Jews believe that he was mounte-
bank. He was beyond their compre-
hension."

ONT of Sight.

Fritz Scheel, director of the Phlla-
delphia orchestra, has fondness for
American slang and colloqulallsms
that is far in excess of his aptness III
acquiring the exact words and sense
When he first came to Philadelphia, in
the summer of 1899, he was struck by
the expression "Out of sight!" spoken
with fine heartiness to indicate pleas
ure and satisfaction with the general
order of things. Scheel determined to
make use of it at the first opportunity.
and to that end repeated it over and
over to himself, always keeping in
mind the circumstances under which
it should be uttered. Mr.. Elias met the
musician one afternoon when the lat.
ter was playing at Woodside park, and
cheerily called out:
'How are you, Fritz"
'You don't see mel" was ScheePs
prompt and amazing reply.-Philadel-
