TARIFF MAKERS.
Nelson Dingley.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

When the Fifty-fourth Congress assem-
bled in December. 1895, Thomas B. Reed
OF Maine was elected Speaker, and he
appointed as chairman Of the ways and
means committee a representative from
his own state-Nelson Dingley. Decem-
Der IS Mr.. Dingley reported tariff bill,
imposing a duty on wool Of 60 per cent
of the schedule assessed in the MicKin-
ley act, and making an addition OF 10
per cent to the duties imposed by the
Wilson German act on large number
of manufactured articles. The bill con-
tanned proviso that no duty should eX-
coed that assessed by the Mckinley act
of 1890. This bill was considered under
special rule and was passed by an over
whelrping majority, after only four hours
OF debate. 1t went to the Senate, where
it was referred to the finance committee.
Although the republicans had a nomi-
nal ma jority Of that committee, 1t was, in
fact. controlled by the free silverites. The
committee adopted as substitute for the
House tariff bill measure providing for
the free coinage of silver and instructed
its chairman, the venerable Senator Nor
rill to report 1t to the House, a duty
which he performed with reluctance and
sadness. Thus ended the career of the
first Dingley bill. and thus began the two
years struggle between the gold and sill
yer forces, which resulted in 1896 in the
election Of William Mckinley to be Presi-
dent.

New York. Feb. 2.-Warrants for
the arrest of officials of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, Of the Du
Pont de Nemours Powder company
and others involved. will be issued in
Jersey City tomorrow in connection
| with yesterdays explosion tnat caus-
ed the death of more than thirty per-
sons, according to a statement issued
tonight after conference between
the Jersey City police and the cor
| poration attorney.
The warrants, II was said, will
charge manslaughter, criminal neg
| ligence, and violation of the city or
dinance.
The railroad officials in question
are connected with the freight de-
partment the docks, and the trans
portation department. while the pow
der company officers to be named
are those who were connected with
the shipment OF dynamite.
The others will include those
whose connection with the craft re-
ceiving the consignment involves
them in the responsibility.
Agents of the Du Pont de Nemours
Powder company, the prosecutor of
Hudson county, n. j., and inspectors
of the bureau of explosives of the
ordnance bureau of the war depart
ment started separate Investigations
today into the explosion of dynamite
yesterday at the Communipaw piers
of the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey.
No cause for the explosion had
been fixed. and no additional bod
les were found. The list of dead and
missing stands at about thirty-three
and the property damage is about
10000
1--WE have gone far enough now,
said Vice President w. V. Besler Of
the Jersey Central, ''tt& be cer,lin
that neither we nor u'g au .horiiies
will ever know Just what caused the
explosion. We know that the rail-
road cannot be held responsible.
"As common carriers the law re-
quires us to accept explosives at the
published rates and under the super
vision and regulations of the ord
nance bureau of the war department,
with which we complied.
once we had delivered car at
the terminal and the consignee had
come with his way bill to take pos
session and had broken the seal of
the car, as he had done in this case,
1t was out of our control"
On the other hand the authorities
point out that the state statute regu-
lating explosives refers specifically 10
its manufacture and storage and that
II a freight car is adjuuged to be a
place of storage the owners of the
ear are amenable. Prosecutor Gar
win said that the Finger of suspicion

Washington, Feb. "A house mem
bership of 39l as at present was the
congressional reapportionment plan
Iagreed upon by the republican caucus
of the house tonight. The PROPOSE
ton which was introduced by Mr..
Campbell of Kansas, first was defeat
ed Sc to 81, hut later was reconsld-
cred. and adopted 10 to So.
About $50 republican members of
the house attended the caucus to-
night to decide upon the party policy
las to congressional reapportionment
on the basis of the latest census.
The first bill considered was that
reported by Mr.. Crumpacker of In
diana. chairman of the house commit
tee on census, fixing the house mem
bership after March 3. 1913. at 4S3,
on a ratio of population to represen
tatives of 211. s77 as against 194,1S2
as at present.
This includes Arizona and New Mex
leo and any new states after the date
fixed will be additional to the 433,
which is the lowest number that would
prevent any state from losing rep
resentative.
Mr. Crumpacker explained his bill
in detail to the house. lie showed
how under the 433 plan no state would
lose a member, New York would gain

oklahoma three, Illinois. Massachus-
etts, New Jersey, Texas and Washing

This action, together with the de-
feat of plan to offset the negro dis
franchisement in the south. urged by
Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Olcott of New
York and opposed by Mr.. Gaines of
West Virginia and others occurred
during six hours session of the
caucus.
Several propositions were pending,
including the Campbell proposition
leaving the house as it stands today:
a proposition by Mr.. Elvins Of Mis-
souri,. favoring 402 members, a pro-
position by Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin,
for 397 members, representing views
said to be held by Speaker Cannon
and other house leaders. and the
Crumpacker idea of 433 members,
urged at the outset by its author.
The Campbell plan was first taken
up and finally put through, the de-
tails of carrying out the scheme being
left to the census committee which
will prepare the way for action at
this session Of congress.
The caucus developed into rather
stormy one when the Bennett anti
disfranchisemen plan wes proposed.
The proposition directed the prepara-
tion of bill to carry out Section 2,
of the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution so as to cut down
the representation of any state exactly
to the extent that the negroes were
disfranchised by such state.
This proposition was defeated after
considerable speech making, ~ to AS,

Not even was any great general in
terest manifested when at the last
the voting began in committee of the
whole on the bill itself. AS the roll
call proceeded 1t was recognized the
vote was running close. but the real
situation was not grasped until the
vice presidents announcement of a
tie was made. Mr.. Sherman per-
formed his part expeditiously.
"On this question the vote stands
SO TO 80, tie,'' he said. Without
hesitation he added:
The chair votes in the affirma-
tive, the ayes have 1t; the substitute
is adopted"
The bill then was transferred TO
the senate and there the vote on its
passage was repeated. The vice pres
ident again cast the deciding vote.

sage by the senate.

No sooner had the result on the
subsidy bill been announced than an
other sharp conflict was precipitated.

on their feet. but the former first
obtained recognition.

The result of the adoption of Mr..

There was an awkward prediea-

thrown into confusion. The situation
was relieved by motion to adjourn,
