C., Oct. 1—The | outlook for the coming week in the |Senate is very uncertain. It will | probably be a week of surpises and | agreement whereby the repeal will | be definitely and finally disposed of. This will not come except through | compromise. While there has been jno cessation of the effort to secure jan agreement the indications are |that there will be none until it be comes evident to all that the bill will not be passed or defeated in its pres jent shape. There may be, as there has been during the past, week, an occassional disscussion during the morning hour for the discussien of some resolution of inquiry, but noth ing more. There has been only one formal notice of a speech to be made, from Senator Call, for to-mor- row. Messrs. Cockrell, Kyle, Mar- tin, Power and Dubois have all priv ately expressed their intention to talk during the week, and Messrs. Teller and Morgan will probably fin ish the speeches begun by them last week. Senator Jones of Nevada has not spoken during the present debate, and is known to be preparing a very exhaustive treatise upon the silver question. He will probably consume the larger part of two or three days. Senator Cockreli’s speech will also be his first speech of the session, and will probably be long. All these speeches will be in opposition to re peal. None of the repeal advocates have so far given iutimation of any desire to talk, except Messrs. White of Louisiana, and Palmer. The spectre of night sessions has again been laid aside. The truce limiting time for debate to seven hours per day expires by limitation to-morrow, but Mr. Voorhees said that he would make no effort to ter- minate it at that time, as a great many of the Republican Senators would be absent during the week. The Democratic Senators who are not especially identified with the ad ministration are still engaged in try ing to reach an understanding upon a compromise, but are not making progress. The Republican Senators who advocate repeal have dropped out of the negotiations for the pres- ent. There is disagreement upon the amount of silyer to be purchas- ed and coined and upon the bond proposition. It may be stated al- most definitely that there will be no compromise upon the basis sugges- ted Friday last.

The mass of party throughout the state are with the senators, and there is no doubt about it. Marshall, Mo., Sept. 28.—The grand jury to-day returned two in dictments against J. H. Cordell, late cashier of the Cordell Dunnica bank whish collapsed in the city January 9, 1892, charging him with receiving deposits as cashier of the institution knowing at the time that it was in- solvent. The defendant is at pres- ent a resident of Colorado. It is ex- pected some new and interesting de velopments will be made when the case comes to trial. Washington, Oct. 2.—Mr. Carlisle has consulted again with President Cleveland on the compromise terms, but with no satisfactory result. Mr. Cleveland is fully conscious that the attitude he has assumed is heartily indorsed by all the bussiness _inter- ests of the east. It is understood that the reply he has authorized Mr- Carlisle to give to the advocates of compromise is that he will listen to no compromise involving the further purchase of silver until the supreme effort has been made by the friends of unconditional to avail themselves of their conceded strength as a majority of the senate to forcea vote. Ifthe effort fails, then he may listen to a compromise as the lesser two evils. The silver senators assert that they are certain of sup- port at the critical moment. gress with the tariff bill, The ground work is understood to be free raw materials, with compensa- \there is a possibility of reaching an} | REVISING THE TARIFF. the Bill Will be Framed. | Washington, D. C, Sept. 28.— | Some interesting developments from | Republican sources may be looked |for in a few days, for the ways and means committee to-day announces the general theory upon which the tariff bill will be drafted. It is go ing to make the brewers and distill- ers bear much of the burden of run- ning the governweut, thereby enab- ling wool and other materials which form part of the daily necessities. to come in on the free list. and reduce other tariffs on necessities. In order that the committee may not be in terrupted in its labors, private room in the basement of the capitol has been secured, and here the actual work will be performed, and a begin- ning will be made the first of next week. In framing the bill, which will be presented to Congress about November 15, there are many things fo consider and with these in view, the committee has outlined its pro- gramme. First, there is a deficiency of $50,- 000,000 in the amount required to run the government. With a still further reduction of tariff duties it becomes necessary for the committee to devise some scheme for meeting the condition. An income tax has been proposed and has many warm adherents on both floors of Congress but unless the deficiency falls far short it will not, in all probability, be resorted to Wool is going to be p!.ced on the free list, and the intention is to increase the tax on liquois of all kinds, and between these +xtremes of necessity and lux- ury, the committee will struggle to adjust a tariff schedule. Chairman Wilson has secured from the heads ui customs and internal revenue bureaus much information, and this will be studied and applied to the measure which it is proposed to present. It is proposed to abo!- ish the bounty system. This in the case of sugar alone will save $10,- 000,000 annually, and the proposi- tion which has practically been agreed to placiug a tax from three- fourth to 1 cent on sugars will sup- ply from $30,000,000 to $37,000,000 or the deficit which now exists. With $10,000,000 saved in bounties and $37,000,000 added from a sugar tax the plan of the committee con- templates a saving of $10,000,000 by pensions reforms and an added revenue of over $30,000,000 by the tax on whisky and beer. These savings and taxations rep- resent a total of nearly $90,000,000, which gives the committe more lee- way in revising tariffs than was at first thought possible. There are, however, many difficulties confront- ing the committee which will have to be understood to appreciate the condition under which it will Jabor. When the Mill’s bill was framed tory reductions in other directions. Chairman Willson is said to be puz- zled over the demand by many Dem- ocrats in his state for the retention of the coal and iron duties. There is a growing impression that the expected deficit will be met by an increase in internal revenne taxes on whisky and tobacco. This mat- ter is in the hands of a subcommit- tee, of which Mr. McMillin of Ten- nessee is the chairman. Secrétary Carlisle is understood to favor an in- crease in the case of whisky to $1.20 per gallon, calculating that each cent of tax be added to the present tax of 90 cents will afford a million dollars additional revenue. Nothing as yet has been decided upon, the members of the committe insist. It is an unusual bond that unites Mr. Morgan, of Missouri, and Mr. Baldwin, of Minnesota, in comrade- ship. Both are democrats, but that isn’t it. They entered the Uxion army in Wisconsin regiments. They were captured and confined together in Confederate prisons. They made daring attemps to escape. It was in 1863. They did not meet again until they came here a short time ago to take their seats in the Fifty- third congress.

By extravagant legislation and an unexpected falling off in revenues the deficit of $50,000,000 in meeting expenses of the government will make many reductions which the Democrats desire impossible. Representative Tarsney of Kansas City, a member of the sub-committee on the schedules division of the ways and means committee charged with the actual application of the- ories to the bill, in explaining the theory upon which the bill would be drafted, said to the Times corres- pondent tonight: “We find our- selves $50,000,000 short. In addi- tion to this, wool, coal, pig ifon and perhaps afew other materials will be placed on the free list and mater- ially reduce the revenue. For sup- plying these revenues only two methods can be employed. First is an income tax. If there is a radical change in the tariff resulting in a deficience of $10,000,000 or more an income tax is probable. But an income tax because of the difficul- ties in the way of its enforcement the many ways of evading it and the prejudice among those on whom it would operate by reason of its in- quisitorial character, makes it a sys- tem to which there is a general re- luctance to resort unless it becomes abolutely necessary. “If changes made in the tariff and other causes will not create a differ- ence of more than $50,000,000 or more than prob: sugar The bo |doubtedly be ‘bounty amounts now to $10,000,000, should it be abolished and a tax of jsay three fourths of a cent a pound !on refined and one half cent on raw sugars he imposed, it would increase | ury $35,000,000 or $40,000,000. Itis probable that the tax on spirits will be increased from 90 cts. to $1.20 or $125. gallon. Anu in- creased tax will also be imposed on beer. It is coutended that the brew- ing business is very profitable and that the present tax of $1 a barrel on beer amounts only to one fifth of a cent a glass when retailed. If it was raised to $2 a barrel brewers would yet have a yery prosperous business and the price would not be increased to the consumer. “There is some doubt in the minds of many where the tax on spirits is not now high as it should be made, looking only to the question of reve- nue which could be derived from it. It is couteuted by some that if a material increase in the tax be im- posed the inducements for evading the payment of such a tax would be increased to such a degree that no between the revenue would follow. But this contention loses much of its force in face of the fact that Great Britain collects 10 shilings or $2.50 a gallon on spirituous liquors.” increases } corresponding Five Negroes Hanged.

HOW TO AVOID IT. broken and _ his The epitaph on many a tombstone is “heart failure.” No wonder, when we con- sider the immense strain which is put on that smallorgan. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal to 5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one person in four has a bad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., has for years made a spect study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptoms of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender- ness in the chest, back, stomach, bowels, left shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, smother- fi , fainting, etc. veh sere biscaer D Smith, of Barnes, Yates Co., N.
