NOTHING MORE TO BE DONE UNTIL CONGRESS MEETS— MX. RANDALL IGNORED—THE PRESIDENT TO ACT WITH FIRMNESS AND VIGOR. The tariff conference at Oak View is over. The participants will make no statement on the sub- Ject beyond the guarded and unimportant utter. ances of Mr. Scott. A Stax reporter asked Speaker Carlisle about the matter to-day and he replied that everything was over as far as this conference was concerned, and implied that there remained nothing to be done untll Congress should meet, As to Mr. Randall's part in the subject he said: “It is well known that Mr. Randall was not out there.” ‘There was nothing to be sald beyond WhatMr. Scott had stated. The fact that the conterence is all over indicates, as seemed evident from the first, that Mr. Randall 1s to be ignored for the present at least. TER PLAN FOR THE TARIFF REDUCTION mapped out fs, in general terms, a8 Tue STAR has botore stated, for a substautlal reduction of the customs duties, accompanied by the repeal of the tobaceo tax, as a sugar coating for the Virginia And" North Carolina delegations. ‘Tae prineipal matter of doubt 1s as to the course of the administration toward Mr. Randall, The dispost- Uion of the President 1s to treat the whole question with firtaness and Vigor. Carlisle and Scott were, it 1s understood, more’ conciilatory in their atti: tude. Mr. Scout, it 1s understood, Was of the im. pression that Mr. Randall could bé conciliated and coaxed into following the plan of the aduministra- on. MR. RANDALL'S ATTITUDE. It ts praeticatiy certain that Mr. Randall cannot be brought to agree to the adininistrauion bill as it will be brought before the House. The fact that he has not been consulted in the matter of forming the plan has, in the first place, predisposed im to antagonize it. In the second place the “substantial” reduction of ‘the customs will, in all probability, be too substantial to meet with his views. Tuen comes the question of how he ts to stand in the party as an opponent of the policy of the adminis- tradon, Whether they have detinitely decided to to treat him as an enemy and run right over him if he falls to acquiesce tn the plan, fs uncertain. ‘Mr. Scott 1s personally friendly with Mr. Randall, and Mr. Cariisie’s natural disposition is opposed to viole ‘The President has been ad- Randall, and to tell him what the Adininistration ‘policy Will be, and to warn him that if he ts not going to work with them he will be treated #$ am outside opponent. ‘The chances are that the plan will be to make over- tures to him, as far as 1s consistent with a deter- mination to Substantially reduce the tariff, and to use all tuewr power against hin if he refuses to meét them part way 10 this, THE PROPOSITION TO REPEAL THE TOBACCO TAX 1s.an immense concession, but 1t 1s not made so much in deference to his wishes as to prevent his drawing over to his side democrats trom Virginia, North Carolina, and elsewhere in the South.

Bishop Ireland, of St. Louls, who has been in at- tendance at the meeting of prelates in Baltimore to determine as to the proposed Catholic Unt- versity, was In Washington yesterday and left last night for New York. While in this city he was seen by a Stax reporter, to whom he said that the enthusiasm In regard to the university which was felt by all who attended the Baltimore conference was shared by the main body of Catholics through- the country, and he did not think there would much difficit'ty in obtaining the money neces- Sary to carry out the plans adopted. aie coutlhiued: “1he undertaking 1s one of the grandest the church lias yet conteuiplated in this country. It has been long charged, you know, that Uie church was opposed to general education, and a partial purpose of tg establishineat of this great seat of learning 1s wh disabuse the pubite mind of tals illusion. We hud of course to con- sult With all tue bisuops in the country, some by letter aud some tu person, and I may Say that it Was the opinion of almost all of them that Wash- ington, as the capital and central point of tul3 great Country, was the fittest place for the loca- {ion of tue ulliversity. The exact site has been selected, but as the details of transfer are not en- Urely completed I may not say where It les. Con tracts Will be at once let, however, for the work, and it will proceed without delay.’ A part of thé purpose of the university 1s a ligher educa- on for our priesthood, to place them upon a plane with the ‘priesthood of the Church in Europe. It will be a sort of post-gradu- ate course, and the establishment of it will cost a miliion dollars. Bulldings will be at once put up and afacuity of ten chvirs organized. We are wo secure the best teachers for this course and have secured the services of three of Europe's most é1ni- hent lecturers. Pastor, the great German bis- torlan, 1s to come to us from the University of Innsbruck, in the Tyrol, as our lecturer on history, and H. T. Vernat, from one of the universities of Rome, comes as "a lecturer on Assyriology and Esyptology, The third I am not at lberty to mention. The remaining faculttes will be organ- wed at an early day. Tue university wii be Don-sectarlan In a Way; that 1s, Its benents Will not be confined to’ Roman Catholics. It Will have Schools of law and medicine” and courses in the sciences und classics tree to all, Tue faculty will be from within the chureh, and the Inilucnees thrown around all who enter the school will be distincilvely Catholic. Iam frank to say the purpose uf the university ts to build up and Strengthen the church in this country, and the chureh wlil remain prominent in all the work of the great scaooi.” Turning to other topics, the bishop was asked bis opinion of the statement telegraphed tuls morning trom London to the effect tat the Vatl- can Was offering its services us a mediator be- tween England and Irciand, asking as the price tuereior the placing of a ntincio at London. “Ido not think,” said he, “that there 18 any foundation for thai. statement. If Rome desired to place a nuncio at London tt wouid ask for the establishment of dipiomatic relations in an un- equivocal manner, and not as the price of any favor. AS to the plan itself I think ‘It could not succeed, I'think the Irish people will “work Out their own salvation in time. ‘They have been steadily, but successfully, Working out thetr prob- m, and the public senuinent of tne world Is with then. Tt will be but_a few months, I think, tll Gladstone returns to power and Ube Irish question Will be practically settled.” “Phe church seems to hive maintained a strong position throughout the struggle,” was suggested, “hat is due entirely tothe magnificent mange. ment of Cardinal Manning and tue archbishop of Dublin, who have given the situation in Ireland dally thought and attention.” Regarding his cwn reported elevation to an arcubisbopric the bishop would say noting, stat- fog that he could not talk about that at present. Regarding the attitude of the church toward the Kuights of Labor be said: The church has withdrawn Its disapproval of the organization, holding that its secret. work 13 harmless so long’ as{t does not foment Hots, im- iigion. Walle the church 1s op- ed Lo secret societies of all Kinds, it holds, that secrecy of the knights ts rather of a political nd business nature, such as all men are entitled to have regarding tiieir business affairs. ‘I'he or- ganization has shown no disposition to foment Fwis, and under the management ot Powderly T do not think it 15 Itkely to, although we cannot tell What would happen Should any otner man be elected to Powderiy’s place. Under these circum. Stanees the church has tolerated the association without extending to it {ts approval.” In conclu. sion, Bishop Ireland said: “1 called upon the President today, and hada pleasant chat. with him. ile ts full of the development of the North- west, and anticipates great pieasure from bis pro- posed visit to St, Paul and Minneapolis.” a ‘The Courts.

A layman looking in at the exhibit of the dental Surgeons at the Frankiin School building 1s apt to think that there is now nothing to be desired by the tollers on the teeth in the way of appliances to facilitate work and to insure success.

Some of the machinery ex- hibited 1s of @ highly scientine character and shows to how high a point the methods of dentistry have been carriea, GOLD USSD IN FILLING. Dr. R.8. Williams, of New York, occupies one of ‘the school rooms with a display of gold for use in filling. He says that nearly two hundred kinds of Miling-gold are now being manufactured. This great vartety ts due to the individual tastes of the dentists, some of Whom prefer to uso leat or sheet id, soine like the gold in the shape of small pel- lets, while others have a tondness for a kind ot spongy material rolled into cylindrical wads, hen, too, the pecultar oral conditions under which Tepaifs are made are shown.

In the opposite room are the machines of H. W. Parsons, of Wamego, Kans,, inventor and patentee of the “Saliva ejector and warm air injector,” also dental clamps, électric motor governor and various materials used tn filling. ‘The first-named instru ment is a small nickel pump, attached to the ordi. nary dental engine, with a stroke of about, inches, to which are attached two long rapper tubea One of these tubes is connected with a hooked metal tube inserted in the patteat’s mouth, which, by suction, removes accumulated saliva and discharges it ‘into a beaker. ‘The other tube Tung to an electric battery of two cells. Between the battery and the pump is a small plece of metal tubing, containing a piece of platinum wire con- re with the battery with wires. When tne operator ts ready, he puts the battery into opera- tion and begins to'work his engine. ‘This sets the pump in motion and draws aif through the tube, over the wire, which is being heated by the cur rent, and then into the moutn, where the heat (the’air can be raised to a temperature of 150 de- grees If necessary) Keeps the teeth and gunis pei fectly dry, while the other tube removes the saliva. ‘This drynéss ts essential to good work In fling, since the slightest moisture in a cavity will de- Stroy the value of the Alling and necessitate its re- movi ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
