REMOVE COAL DUTY.
Believed a Measure Will Quickly
Pass Both Houses of
Congress.

Washington, Jan. 13.-It is expect
ed that congress will pass bill remov-
ing the duty Of 81 cents on coal import
ed into this country. This bill may
take the formof rebate, or drawback
for ninety days, and also provide for
reciprocity, admitting free of duty coal
imported into this country from coun
tries granting the same privilege TO the
United States. This means Canada,
and will permit Nova Scotia coal to
come into this country free, while coal
from the Alleghenies and westward will
90 into Canada free of duty. The ways
and means committee will hold a meet
ing during the day, and; according to
present programme will report bill
on the above lines. 1t is expected the
bill will pass the house Immediately
after it is reported. 1t will be taken
up in the senate very soon, and the in
tenion is to have it pass that body with
out delay. Its consideration in the
senate has not been arranged for, but
efforts are being made to expedite its
passage. A number of Republicans who
have heretofore been opposed to chang
ing the duty on coal said they would
not oppose the bill, provided it did not
open up the whole tariff question.
There has been some general talk about
an agreement to pass such bill with
out opening up the tariff question, and
the Republican leaders expect the
house bill will be passed promptly by
the senate.

The battalion of cadets was drawn up
in line Of salute just inside the acad-
envy grounds and as the carriage bear
ing the secretary, Senator Hale and
their escort, Lieut.. Foyer, passed in
review, salute of seventeen guns
belched forth from the guns on the
Santee wharf. The FESTIVE horses at.
tached to the carriage swerved suddenly
and got beyond control of the driver.
They dashed down Upshur row. past
the line of cadets, the driver meantime
making every effort to quiet them.
The breaking of the pole of the car
riage as the spirited animals dashed
down the roadway served to render
them more excited. AS they dashed
down the hill toward College creek.
the driver, seeking to stop them, snd-
denly turned their heads into vacant
lot between two houses. Secretary
Moody. who had opened the door of the
carriage, suddlely leaped to the pave
ment as the carriage made the turn
into the Enclosure. He landed on his
face on the pavement, and was rem
dered unconscious by the shock.

idence of Superintendent Brownson,
where he shortly recovered Consciousness.
Slight cuts about the face are thought
to he the extent of his injuries. Nei-
ther Senator Hale nor Lieut.. p yer was
injured, as the horses were brought

Slower Freights.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-General Mana
gers of all the Western roads have just
agreed on a plan to effect great reduc-
ton in operating expenses, to offset the
increase in price of all railway supplies
and labor. The plan is to reduce the
speed of freight trains about 20 per
cent, SO that fewer but longer trains
can be hauled, thereby reducing the
cost of transportation per ton per mile.
There will be small saving in wages
because OF the reduction in the number
of trains, but this is an medicinal saw
ing, and is not one of the chief objects
aimed at by the managers.

The knocker and bell pull were highly polished, Towering pot herbs garnished the sills of the different windows, and curtains of some rich material con- cealed the interior from the eyes of curious passengers The place had an air of repose and secrecy, and Harry was so far caught with this spirit that he knocked with more than usual dis erection and was more than usually careful to remove all impurity from his boots.
 A servant maid of some personal at- fractions immediately opened the door and seemed to regard the secretary with no unkind eyes.

Almost all of the forty five passengers aboard the car were hurt though only one fatally.
 When the motorman tried to make the safety stop on the steep grade at Stockton avenue he found the power brake was useless and the car beyond control. It had about 125 yards to go before reaching the gates of the rail- road, which were down to let freight train pass. The big car gained momen- tum every second and dashed through the safety gates, struck an empty re- frigerator car in the moving freight train, turned it over and derailed sev- eral other cars. By this time the. troll ley was wreck itself, and it's passen. gers were strewn in all directions, the wonder being that there were not many fatalifiea

 "Ahaw cried the general, wheeling round upon his new antagonist. MT. Pendragon! And do you suppose, Mir. Pendragon that because I have had the misfortune to marry your sister l shall suffer myself to be dogged and thwarted by a discredited and bank rupt Ibertine like you?

I own, sir, that by that action she did as much as anybody could to derogate from her position, but to me she is still Pendragon. I make 1t my business to protect her from ungentlemanly out rage, and if you were ten times her husband I would not permit her fiber. ty to be restrained nor her private mes- sengers to be violently arrested"
