WASHINGTON, March 14-Political ex-
pedieney has induced leaders Of the SEN
ate to call a halt in the fight over the
Cuban sugar tariff. Word had been sent
to Speaker Henderson by Senator Allison
that house leaders are endangering the
interests of the party in the coming cam
paigns next fall in congressional districts.
Senators Spooner, Platt, of Connecticut
and Mcmillan, of Michigan, have added
their warnings to those of Allison.
Leaders of the senate have been sup
porting the president in this campaign,
and their retreat will probably result in
persuading him to give up the fight
However, no one In Washington is so bold
as to attempt to say what the president
will do from one minute to another. He
is almost too erratic and strenuous. The
danger of a Democratic majority in the
next congress has loomed on veteran pol
itictans with startling effect. They say
talk must cease; the tariff issue has been
getting too acute; reciprocity is all right,
they admit, but they have no answer for
the Democrat or insurgent Republican
who asks why duties on iron and steel
should be retained while protection is
knocked from under the sugar beet an
infant industry and the only one in
which the farmer has any vital interest.
The charge that the Sugar trust is back

body, soul and breeches, is charge they
are not prepared to refute.
Danger Is Growing Acute.
There are about fifty rural districts
which are close, and which will determine
the complexion of the next congress. An
argument like this in those districts
would be likely to knock the Republican
majority galley west.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The con-
ference Of Republican members of con-
gress on the Cuban reciprocity question
lasted today until p. m, and at its
close Chairman Payne, who had been
delegated by both sides to give out a
statement, said that after further con-
sideration of the subject the conferees
had come to no conclusion and had ad-
journed until 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon.

OMAHA, March 15-'I should like to
own the VIOLIN" were the words which
expressed Kubelik's regard for an old
instrument which was shown him while
here, by Mrs. F. D. Wilson, who wanted
his opinion as to it's value. such in
struments," he added 'are very rare.
The making of good violins seems to have
become lost art; 1 have found none
that can equal the old makers"
The instrument referred to is made of
dark wood, and upon it is the inscription,
"Cremonae, Andreas Amau, 1902" Ku-
belik gave it thorough examination, and
after trying several pieces upon 1t pro-
nounced it a genuine Cremona, adding
that of his three instruments he valued
his Crenona equally with the other two.
The violin has been in Mrs Wilson 8
family for many years, and had come to
be priced more for it's associations than
for it's intrinsic value, though it is beheV-
ed that it would bring $1,000 if offered at
auction The date on the instrument
indicates that Is is 300 years old.

TAX COMMISSIONERS OFFER NOTED

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 1.-THE old
Lincoln farm, in Lincoln City, Will in a
few days be sold for delinquent taxes.
For years the taxes on the farm have
not been paid and the county officials de-
cided that the best thing to do was to Of
fer the farm for sale. Attempts have
heretofore been made to run the farm into
park and to ask congress to make an
appropriation for this purpose, but
failed.
The old cottage that stood on the farm
and in which Abraham Lincoln lived was
removed to New York many years ago
and was sold for several thousand dol
lars. The commissioners of Spencer coun-
ty have received many letters from peo-
pie over the country wanting to buy the
farm, and bidders will doubtless be nu-
merous when the tax sale is held. The
body of the mother of Lincoln was buried
on the farm.

NEW YORK, March 14-It was learned
this afternoon at the Cathedral of St.

from the cathedral crypt about two
weeks ago had been returned. The jew
els, which consisted Of seven garnets set
in the crown of the altar, together with
several ornaments of mother of pearl,
were inclosed in an envelope without any
note of explanation. The return of the
jewels is thought to have been prompted
by fear Of arrest due to the publicity
which the robbery has had.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Representa-
tive Randall, Of Texas, today circulated
among his Democratic colleagues of the
house petition for a caucus of Demo-
cratic members to consider what course
should be adopted In relation to the gov
ernment's attitude toward the Beers The
petition was addressed to Representative
Hay, chairman of the Democratic caucus
and named March 19 as the time for Sne
gathering. The signatures were very gen.
eral on the Democratic side of the house
and the caucus probably will be held,
although no call has been yet issued.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 14-In the
house today Mr.. Burleson of Texas re-
neWed discussion of the case of Rev.
Hiram w Thomas and wife, whose ap-
plcatlon to the state department for
request to the British authorities for
passports to enter the Boer lines in South
africa for the purpose of distributing
relief of funds was brought to the atten-
ton OF the house by him a few days ago.
Mr. Burleson declared that Mr.. Hi-L S de-
fense OF the refusal of the state depart
ment TO accede to the request while it
might have been able to accede, was
lame"
The state department in declirS@g the
request, he said, did not plead the viola
lIoH OF international comfy, as Mr.. Hit
had done. Mr.. Burleson denied that the
ny pothesis of Mr.. Hit as to our q fusaJ
to allow Confederate sympathizers to get
through the lines during the Civil war
was parallel case, and, moreover. he
said 1t was not an historical fact. He
read letter from a Union surgeon sta
ticned at City Point, Va, during the war
who told how the Union forces allowed
relief to pass through the lines.
If Gen. Sherman, asked he, "had con-
centrated Southern women and children
IN camps, does anyone imagine that the
" North would not have allowed relief To
be sent to them?''
In conclusion Mr.. Burleson called at
tention to a Berlin dispatch announcin.
that Great Britain had granted pernis-
sion. for the distribution of Charitable
gifts collected in Germany for the Boer
prisoners
Mr.. Hit .Ql1), chairman of the com
mlltee on foreign affairs. replied briefly
10 Mr Burleson. He said he felt some
hesltatlon about renewing the contro-
Versy raised by a resolution which was
not before the house. His Observations
'tne other day. he said, had been OF an
on hand character. He would content
himself at this time he said, with hav-
ing read the letter he had received from
Secretary Hay.
lnimedlately afterward Mr.. Hit pre-
Sented the resolution reported by his COM
mittee, which called on the secretary of
state Tor the facts in the case of the ap-
pIicat1on made to the state department
In pehalf of<Dr. Thomas and wife. The
resolution was adopted without debate.

Polite Form of Bullying.
AS there seems to be some misunder-
standing of the effect Of the president
approval of the census act with the "ac-
company1ng documents" 1T may be well
to go briefly over the whole situation.
What congress set out to do was to
foist into the regular classified service
the whole group of employees collected
by patronage methods for the twelfth
census. 1t began by trying to frame such
a paragraph in the bill creating a per
manent census Office as would not onIv
put all these employees into the new Of
fee, but qualify all who had been dis
missed on account Of a necessary reduc-
tion of the staff since July /. 1901, to re-
1nstatement in the census office for the
purpose of transfer to some other branch
Of the classified civil service.
In passing through it's several stages,
preceding enactment into law, this and a
number Of other schemes were oombed
out of the bill One was sweeping
paragraph which would have made every
human being attached to the office. from
the highest to the lowest, a member of
the classified service, including coal
beavers and charwomen.
The bad feature which held on longest
was that which proposed to classify
every yUOuy ABOVE Jne grade or skilled la
borer who might be on the pay roll at
the time Of the approval of the act I'm
doubtedly the president would have We
toed the whole measure If this had been
left In. Fortunately the two houses dis
agreed on certain terms, which threw the
bill into conference, and out Of confer
ence came a civil service paragraph
which simply authorized the director OF
the census. with the approval Of the sec
retary of the interior, to appoint to the
permanent census office such members of
the present force as he chose, placed
these persons in the classifieu service by
virtue Of such appointment and required
that all subsequent appointments should
be made through the usual machinery OF
the civil service commission.
Two Thousand VIII he Dropped.
With president in the chair who cared
nothing for civil service reform the di-
rector of the census would have found
his simplest course TO be to make very
liberal selections from his present tenn
porary force for reappOintment in the
permanent force and to consult the wish
es of the congressional patrons in every
step Of this choice. President Roosevelt,
however. has taken all the poison out
of the civil service paragraph Of the bin
by ordering that the temporary force
shall continue In service till July /. and
that on that date the director shall
choose for reappointment only those
members Of the temporary force whom he
needs IN his permanent force This Will
mean that somewhere between 800 and
