CLAYTON'S JOB
TO II. CLAY EVANS.
There Is Thought tc, Be Considerable.
Truth in Charges Against the
Ambassador.

The following special received i'll
Little Rock from Washington, will
be read with interest in Arkansas
and Tennessee:
The report from Chattanooga that
II. Clay Evans, commissioner of
pensions. will be appointed secretary
Of the interior to succeed Ethan Al
len Hitchcock, of Missouri, is not
true Mr.. Evans intends to retire
from the pension bureau because tie
continued war against him by veter-
an military associations is annoying
to him and embarrassing to the ad-
minStration His administration of the
bureau has the warmest approval OF
the president, however, who indorses
Evans as strongly as aid his prede-
cessor. President Mckinley. To put
Mr. Evans at the head of the interior
department would not improve the
situation but rather make 1t worse,
as he would then have the power to
pass upon all the decisions Of the
pension bureau, which is an adjunct
to the interior department. Commits
sioner Evans dislikes to retire under
| fire, but as the fire will continue as
| long as he is commissioner, he has
decided TO hand in his resignation
md the president will accept it as
soon as he has found a place for Mr..
Evans, which will be substantial.
promotion and will be recognized by
the country as such. Moreover, the
man who is appointed commissioner
| of pensions to succeed Mr Evans
will be expected to manage the bu-
reau on the same lines that have
been followed by Mr.. Evans. That
the president will insist upon.
Mr. Evans will receive an import.
ant diplomatic post-perhaps that of
ambassador to Mexico to succeed
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. There
is believed to be considerable truth
| in the charges brought to the atten-
ton OF the state department by Sen
ator Nelson that Mr.. Clayton is an
unfit man to be ambassador, in view
of the fact that he is interested in
Mexican mining schemes. If the
president becomes convinced that
the charges are true he will remove
him and appoint Evans as his snc'
cessor." y

Repeal Measure Passes the House
Unanimously, Is Hours Ahead
of Time,
Result OF Democratic Leaders, Mo-
ton, Which Fills the House With
Amusement.

Washington, Feb. 17.-There was large
cipation Of the debate on the bill to repeal
the war revenues taxes. Just prior to
the assembling of the house the COM
mittee on rules agreed upon the form
of special rule for the considerat ton of
the bill by the terms of which it would
be brought to vote at o'clock to-
morrow.
Mr. Dalzell (Pa.), from the committee
on rules, presented the special order
agreed upon by that committee. He ex-
planned the effect of the rule. This
made when the war revenu taxes were
imposed that when the necessity for them
ceased they would be repealed.
This was a measure on which he under
stood there was practical unanimity OF
sentiment on both sides of the house II
was simple repeal measure and it was
deemed wise that it should be brought
to a vote without complication on the
extraneous Issues. Mr.. Dalzeu yielded
thirty minutes to Mr.. Underwood Gala
bama) also of the committee on rules
The Alabama member protested against
the adoption of the rule, because 1t pre-
vented individual members from eXercis-
ing their own judgment or carrying out
the wishes Of their constituents as tic
what portion of the excessive taxes should
be repealed.

The rule was adopted. 1873 to 100.
Thereupon Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader, arose.
Il rise to make request for unanimous
consent" said he. I'm view of the fact
that we are not permitted to amend the
pending bill and in view of the fact that
two days debate is absolutely fruftless
under this rule, I ask unanimous consent
that the bill be put upon it's passage now. "
(Applause on both sides.)
The speaker put the request. Members
looked at each other with amaZement.
Not sound was heard. III.
There is no objection" announced the
speaker, as he brought his gavel down.
The clerk will read the bill
Both sides of the house joined in the
ringing applause that followed. The clerk
then began to read the bill. The verbal
committee amendments to the bill were
taken on its passage.
The bill passed unanimously, 278 mem
bers voting aye.
Before the vote on the rule was taken
Mr.. Babcock (Wis.) said he did not be-
lieve in complicating the repeal bill with
other tariff matters but at the first oppor-
tunity he would press his measure 70
amend the steel schedule.
Mr.. Richardson offered a resolution tC
recommit the Ele.
After sharp tilt between the speaker
and Mr.. Richardson the speaker sus-
tanned point Of order against the mo-
ton. Mr.. Richardson appealed from the
decision and upon a roll call the chair
was sustained, 1855 to 1913. Then came the
adoption of the rule and passage of the
bill.

into the cellar calling wildly to Dewey
to see what he had brought.
In minute or two he was out, and in
the street again, wild eyed and incoher-
ent. and rushed to the conclave, who re-
garded him with cold but curious inter-
est.
Say, you fellows" he began wildly,
where's Dewey"

calmly.

his back as he turned away Leslie Chan

The tide o: interest went at once from

man and went to the cellar of 34O There
was no Dewey; there was no rope collar;
the rope was broken. They stood and
started blankly at each other, and then
bent their heads over the license in awe
Despite Franks sobs as he told his story,
he was a heroic figure to them. One who
had been in the city hall and had actual
ly bartered with the mighty in the high
seats, was not one to be despised, even If
he did sob when another would have been
stoical.
There was a search instituted, which
lasted even for many days, but Dewey was
not to be found. The unanimous opinion,
borne out by the chewed rope, was that
Dewey had wearied of his lonely confine-
ment and had essayed to follow his
master. Gus Schwartz could not resist
the temptation to give little jab.

frequency of the dog wagon visits. The
license and collar were carefully hidden
away against the possible time of their
need.
Then he came once more upon Pete, the
Blank Street boy.
"Hullo." chucl,led that worthy, ''how's
yer dawg?"
Frank regarded him with a suspicious
glance. You got him?" he enquired at
length.
Pete's freckles deenened into fiercer
red, and he sputtered Indignantly.

There was a guilty look on his face

doubled. Pete was backing away to his

raised his voice u shrill cry Of rage.

And Dewey heard the beloved voice and
struggled out from the cover where he
was hidden, and came leaping down thu
stairs, giving joyous tongue.

vicious kick at the dogs lean sides. Then
Frank rose in his might and smote the

that day. Dewey, collared and licensed

would have been called by any other

Hes gone" said Frank, equivocally
He did not say where. Down in the cell
lar there was a soap box, with a bed of
newspapers, and in it, whining at the rope
collar which bound him to his unwelcome
quarters, was Dewey. There had been a
solemn ccnciave held after the refusal to
allow his yellow highness admission to
the Smith househild. Frank had fled, dog
and all, to Dago Joe's. and there a meet
ing was called, moves made and seconded,
and resolutions offered until 1t was de-
cided that Dewey should be kept In the
cellar. Thereupon the grocery store on
the corner was raided for a soap box,
and Dewey's home was fixed amid much
