EDWIN c. MADDEN WILL
RETIRE, It IS REPORTED

Edwin Q. Madden. Third Assistant
Postmaster General. it is reported will
in the very near future retire from the
Postotfice Department. To devote his
time 10 business pursuits The date OF
Mr. Madden's retirement from office has
not been officially announced. but that
IL will soon take place there can be no
doubt.
During the past eighteen months dame
rumOr ever and anon got busy retiring
the Third Assistant Postmaster General
and the old dame was exceedingly per-
sistent at the time the pOstoffice scan
dals were rife. But the scandal wave
did not slip under the door Of the office
OF the Third Assistant Postmaster Gen,
eTal.
He would not. his friends said yester-
DAY, retire under fire. but now that
everything is serene in his Office and not
a smell of smoke to indicate that thetI
was ever any fire near Mr.. Madden. he
can gracefully bid good by to Uncle Sam
whom he has served for about seven
years and engage in a business enter
prise which he has for some months
contemplated.

Bay State Men to Force
Tariff Bill This Week
Republicans Led by Mccall and Lawrence
Will Demand Reform OF Duties Regard
less of Wishes of Speaker Cannon.

The tariff as disturbing element will
be introduced in the House this week
with vengeance. The Massachusetts
Republicans have decided to get to-
gether and frame a bill revising the
tariff and they mean to make an earnest
effort TO get action on the measure.
which will be drawn up by Representa-
tives Mccall and Lawrence.
Mr.. Lawrence, who has just returned
to Washington from the Bay State, says
the sentiment up there absolutely de-
mands an effort by its legislators to
have some things done TO the tariff. The
other Massachusetts men are of the
same opinion.
No Limit.
The bill. as p-epared by Mr.. Mccall
and Mr.. Lawrence, viii deal particula--
" with such schedules as hides. lumber
and wood pulp. but once the subject has
been put up in a bill. there will be
numerous amendments TO it by other
Republicans desiring the legislation
sought and by the Democrats.
Next to the importance of framing
such a bill. the most striking phase of
the situation is the audacity of the Mas
sachusetts Republicans in putting out
such a bill in the very face of the
Speaker. who has gone on record many
times as being utterly and iTTevocably
oppose dto tinkering with the tariff at
this stage of the proceedings.
Bothers Speaker.
Although there is but slight opDortCE-
ity for the Massachusetts men to car
~ their measure through this session

of Congress. IL cannot be denied that
their action will be a formidable one 10
the Speaker and his lieutenants. vino
now have their hands full in attending
To the unruly members who persist IN
voting the way they want. and not the
way the Speaker wants.
The slight chance for members favor
iEg the bill this session is such as to
keep the leaders of the House from feel
ing easy on the subject. Especially Is
this so when it is remembered that such
men as Mann of Illinois want the tariff
revised, Mr. Mann IS already on record
as believing that the tariff will be doc
tored in the next session of the present
Congress.
All these things seem 10 foreshadoW
that there viii be great deal doing
with the tariff next session.
To Push Bill.
But the Massachusetts Republicans
vino have the Democrats with them on
tlts subject, are not content to wait
until next session. They say they will
write their bill, introduce IL, and then
get exceedingly busy in persuading their
Republican brethren that the time has
come To change many of the schedules
I'm the present tariff arrangement TAX
ing the ground that their constituents
want these charges. they will work for
them tooth and nail from now until the
last horn of the present session blows.
Failing to get action on the measure
this session. they. and many others. will
Ccme into the next session determined
TO have IL made law without further
delay.

REPUBLICAN, SPLIT
WORRIES LEADERS

upon TO defend the governor ere long.
The State leaders unfrie 3dly TO the exc
cutive are contemplating the introdrc-
tion Of a resolution TO investigate the
sale OF the State interest in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal. This was opposed
by Treasurer Vandiver, who claimed the
price obtained was far below its value.
The governor and comptroller. who con
stitute a majority of the board of pub
lie works, outvoted him and disposed
o. the old ditch. The object OF thls
investigation is 20 place the governor
in the position OF having favored the
railroad company &c which il was sold
II is also propcGed TO offer joint reso-
luton protesting against the proposed
sale by the governor of the States hold
ings in the Washington branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio, and OF the interest
in the Northern Central railroad
Governors Pet Idea.
The governor advocates the disposal
by tie State of all it's interests in pri-
vate corporations and using the proceeds
to wipe out the State debt. He argues
that If this is done the tax rate can be
reduced materially. Those who object
say the price named is much too low and
that If held the stock must eventually
become a valuable asset
Nor is this the only question in which
the railroads are interested and which
may be considered. Among other bills
TO be introduced is one prohibiting rail-
roads from selling mileage books at the
rate of 9 cents a mile and demanding
a deposit of an extra cent as guar
antee of good faith. which Is returned
/ at the end of the year. To illustrate. q
| !. .000-nile book is sold for $40. but the
/ purchaser must pay S30-receiving upon
return of the cover a rebate OF SO He
1 obiigates himself to forfeit this Elm
/ if the book is found la possession of
any other than the buyer in whose name
/ it is issued. The point is made against
! this system that there is always ia pos
session OF the railroad companies doing
business in the State something like
s.. 90 COO for which no value is received
and on which the corporations pay no
interest.
Still another measure aimed al the

Lee Versus Almony.

This took place on Tuesday night The
week previous Senator Lee had pre-
vented the election OF Mr.. Almony as
reading clerk of the senate because the
editor of the Montgomery Advocate had
opposed him in the primary and was
personally ohjectionabis. Thereupon the
Democratic leaders decided 10 make
some other place for Almoney and they
induced the president OF The senate to
appoint him clerk Of the library COM
mittee When Lee was told Of this upon
his return 10 Annapolis he entered a
vigorous protest. Messrs. German and
BreWington defended the appointment,
but when a vote was taken on the mo-
tion TO reconsider the order which au-
thorized the president 10 name the clerk
Lee won out. only five votes being re.
corded in the negative. Mr.. AlmOney
then resigned his position and returned
10 his home in Rockville.

Widespread Interest Has Been Aroused
and Local Leaders Hopeful
Of Victory,

Al a meeting of the eight-hour COM
mittee of the job printers at strike
headquarters in the hall at Ninth and
D streets last night. the situation was
thoroughly gone over and conditions.
though Offering no new phases. were
found TO be satisfactory.
The men out of employment We're paid
yesterday their weekly stipend, which
they find amply sufficient for their needs
in paying expenses during the time they
are idle. There viii be no meetings to-
day and the men are instruS>ed TO spend
the day quietly at their homes.
Frank Morrison. general secretary Of
the American Federation of Labor,
spoke at the hall yesterday afternoon
at 8 o'clock He spoke particularly Epon
the benefits of organization and the
good effects Of the etght-hour day upon
all trades.
Widespread Interest.
He stated that the interest in the
present fight was intense throughout all
branches of the Federation and that
ali assessments were most cheerfuIly
paid. Upon the result of the present
strike he said depended action of 9TH
er branches OF the organization. and If
the printers won IL would be a long
step toward the universal eight-hour
schedule.
James O'COnnell. president of the
international Association of Nachin-
lists. will address the printers on Mon
day afternoon. and for various days
throughout the week arrangement is
being made To have weIl-known lead
ers appear at headquarters and discuss
matters Of interest to members Of the
union.
The meeting OF the TyOthetae, held
yesterday afternoon, adjourned without
taking any action which was given tC
the public. Secretary Hill stated thai
the battle for the open shop would be
continued along the lines at frs
mapped out by the employers. and that
there was no show of weakening at any
point Of the line.
Sentries Active.
The Gordon of sentries posted by III,

mittee. the fact that many OF the mel
working in the offices affected by tn,
strike, arc Government clerks and tina

these men work extra time in the print

at one time and another worked at tn
printers trade and are in this name
making extra money out of the strik
situation. 1t is claimed that an effor
is made to keep the identity Of thes
men secret. but they have been traces

Seasoned Material Lacking.

There are moi more than a doZan MEM
bers of the house who have ever served
M a legislative body and only about
ten lawyers. The large majority are
farmers, store keepers, clerks and me-
chanics TO whom the surroundings are
new. The lack OF seasoned material
renders the task of speaker very diff
cult. For ten days he has been working
on his COMMITTEES trying TO whip them
into some sort OF shape. Perhaps he
may succeed In getting better service
out of this raw material than other
speakers obtained from Legislators who
knew it all, but the body as a whole
can only be regarded as an experiment.
The senate is only a shade better
equipped. But for the holdOver MEM
bers who know the ropes. the president
would be in Il box similar to that in
which the speaker finds himself. This
body has only Eve lawyers. and the pre-
siding officer In framing his committees
was obliged to place three laymen on the
judiciary committee. The four lesal
lights are Democrats all of whom were
necessarily appointed; the fifth Demo
crat is q dentist and the two Republs-
cans know comparatively little about
law. Young German. who Is the chair
man of the committee on finance, is re-
garded as the party leader. but this
honor may be taken from him by Blair

Colonel Lauehheimer. of counsel for

the court on his motion for demurrer
TO the charges and specifications. IN
which he pointed out the conditions OF
hazing at the time Congress passed the

TERRIBLE sCALY ECZEMA.

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.
Il had an eruption appear on ny
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my
arms and the loves limbs as far as
the knees. [ at first thought it was
pricllly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician
purchased a complete treatment Of the
Cnticura remedies, in which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption APP
peared again, only a little lower; but
before it had time to spread I pro
cured another supply Of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use I'm
til the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
Ihave not seen any signs Of return.
I have more faith in Cuticura Rene
