DIVIDED ON TARIFF REVISION Democratic Senators Will Not Act as a Unit. ‘Washington, Feb. 24.—The Demo- cratic senators are going to be divid- ed when the tariff- bill reaches them next session. They are a unit on the general principle that the tariff should be based on the demands of the gov- ernment for revenue rather than pro- tection and apparently if the Demo- crats themselves were in the majority and were framing a bill it would be upon this basis. Some of them believe in proceeding upon this theory even though the Re- publicans frame the " Dbill. Others, coming from states in which there are large industries which have hereto- fore been the subject of protection, take the view that, as the bill will, under any circumstances, be a pro- tective measure, it is in the line of their duty to comstituents to exert themselves to obtain the best protec- tion possible in the new measure. Senator Simmons of North Carolma is among the Southern Democrats who take the positicn that Southern products should be properly taken care of in a protective bill and he will devote special attention to the lumber schedule, which, he apprehends, will be vigorously attacked. Fixed Bayonets In London. The privilege of marching through Londor with fixed bayonets is enjoy- ed by but very few regiments, such as the Royal fusileers, who trace their origin to Cromwell’s trained bands, which in later years produced so fa- mous a captain as John Gilpin. After the Royal fusileers, or perhaps even before them in point of regimental seniority, come the East Kent “Buffs,” now the third of the line, who claim a similar city ancestry ,while the Royal marines for some reason or other also enjoy the same fixed bayonet rights in the city. A battalion of the grena- dier guards was once impressed to serve as marines, and hence they share the privilege of the men who are “soldiers and saflors too.” This also explains why that grenadier bat- talion has for its tattoo “Rule Britan- nia”—as a souvenir of the time when its combative existence was of the amphibious kind.—London Standard. The Mental Jog. “There is a certain type of person,” said the business man, “especially in New York, who seems unable to un- derstand what is said to him—or her— unless the statement or remark is pre- fixed by some catchword, usually the word ‘listen.” “For instance, I have g stenographer | who simply stares at me in dumb amazement if I say anything to her without first saying ‘Now, listen’ If I begin to dictate a letter to her she will not write a word if I forget to give that mental jog. When I snap that at her she will scratch like mad. She is not the only one. The tele- phone girl cannot take a message un- less it has that prefix. When I am out of the office and try to talk over the wire with her I must always be- gin, ‘Now, listen,’ or else she is hope- lessly at sea and seems not to under- stand a word I say.” —New York Press. i HETTY GREEN'S , DAUGHTER WEDS Miss Sylvia Wife of Matthew Astor Wilks. GROOM ABOUT SIXTT-FIVE Marriage Takes Place at Morristown, N.

Philamon Sturges, the rector. Owing to the recent death of a cousin of the bride, it was stated, the wedding party was a small one, consisting of about ‘thirty persons.

IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE France Takes Steps to Prevent Aus- tro-Servian Clash. Berlin, Feb. 24—The menacing at- titude of Servia and the military dis- positions taken by Austria-Hungary in connection therewith have caused the French government to undertake me- diatory representations in the interest of peace and Germany has been asked to join France in this endeavor. The German foreign office replied that it was in full sympathy with the object of these- representations, but it did not consider it desirable to participate In suggestions to Austria-Hungary; it was quite willing, however, to assist in pressure upon Servia to_keep the Deace. It {8 understood in Berlin that France took this step after reaching an agreement with Russia. FIGHT HILL AND HARRIMAN Spokane Shippers Preparing a Gigan- tic Boycott. Spokane, Wash., Feb. 24.—Spokane shippers are preparing a gigantic boy- cott against the Hill and Harriman railroads. The report that the Spokane rate case will be decided adversely to Spo- kane has caused the merchants to plan an organization and all the ship- "pers will unite in having one routing agent who will route all the goods sent out from Spokane over the Cana- dian Pacific in the hope of bringing the desired concessions from the other roads, which will as a result lose the Spokane business. The definite organization will be ef- feoted as soon as it is learned that the Spokane rate case has been lost.

Punch Bowl for “Dry” Candidate. ‘Washington, Feh. 24.—Representa- tive James E. Watson, who ran for governor of Indiana on a “dry” plat- form, is to be presented with a hand- some punch bowl by his colleagues in the house. The gift will not be in the nature of a joke because the In- dlana member ran on a “water wagon” ticket, but it will be a testimonial of the high esteem in which he is held by the Republican members of the house.

Chicago, Feb. 24.—A bitter skirmish signalized the opening of the retrial of the Standard Oil company of Indiana for alleged rebating. Judge Anderson had been on the bench but a few mo- ments when John S. Miller, of the de- fense, electrified those present by fil- ing a motion to quash the venire of 150 men on the ground that it had been improperly drawn. Sixty per cent of the venire are farmers, only three are residents of Chicago and but sixteen live in Cook county, which contains two-thirds of the population within the court’s jurisdiction. Surprise. was plainly visible on the face of District Attorney Sims when Mr. Miller called attention to the ‘per- sonnel of the venire. He promptly re- covered, however, and sharply op- posed the motion. Judge Anderson ruled that the venire was improperly drawn. A new one must be summoned, which is said to demand an indefinite delay in hear- ing the case.

Hutchins’ detachment from command of the battleship Kearsarge by Rear Admiral Sperry at Gibraltar nor the reason for his coming home on a passenger steamer is available at the navy department.” Rear Ad- miral Pillsbury, chief of the bureau of navigation, declared that he had not the slightest idea why Captain Hutchins was detached from his com- mand, unless on account of illness, and no adylces have reached the de- partment on the subject from Rear Admiral Sperry. Secretary Newberry, while at Hamp- ton Roads, was informed by Admiral Sperry regarding the detachment of Captain Hutchins, but the secretary would not discuss the aciion.

QUIET AT SOUTH OMAHA Militia Held in Readiness as a Pre- caution. Omaha, Feb. 24.—All seems quiet in the anti-Greek agitation in South Omaha. Although a portion of the local militia was held in readiness all night the- precaution was apparently unnecessary. The Greeks themselves had left the city before nightfall and were quartered in nearby towns. Only a small portion of the Greeks have families in this country. Their expulsion from South Omaha will not work much of a hardship. There are a few, however, who are in business and own property. These will, they say, look 'to the city to make good their losses, not only in property but in the suspension of business. Appeals for Protection.
