THE LAST MEETING Inangural Executive Committee Will Close Tts Affairs Tonight. Heavy Expenditures for the Celebra- tion—The Amount to Surplus Wii About Eight Thousand Dollars. The meeting of the executive committee tonight will bring to a close the work of appropriately celebrating the inauguration of President McKinley, and at its adjourn- ment the members will separate to gather no more until another inauguration is forth- coming, when many of them from their experience will doubtless be called upon to assist in making another record of grand success. The financial statement to be presented to the meeting will show ex- penditures closely approximating $60,000, including the very heavy loss on the sup- per, leaving a surplus of about $8,000. The loss on the supper was about $5,000. This was due, it will be stated at tonight's meeting, in a sybstantial degree to the in- discriminate manner in which Caterer Ess- sent out Invitations after the repast, the recipients of which would otherwise have paid for supper tickets. Every invi- ation thus extended diminished the re- ceipts by one dollar. Chairman Bell stated today that with the exception of the supper, the committee got full vaiue received for every dollar ex- pended. There were no regrets for the money spent in the lavish decorations of the ball room, or for the expenditures in any other direction. The celebration, he aid, had eclipsed all its predecessors in every Way, and its features would long be memoiable. Chairman irrg Bell today imstracted Secre- kett te send twenty-five of the 1 ball souvenirs to President M and the same number to Vic President Hobart. Meeting of the Music Committee.

The old senate champer at 6th and Chest- but streets, Philadelphia, In which met the first Senate of the United States of Ameri- ca, was filled yesterday afternoon with a distinguished gathering of women to com- memerate the meeting of the first assembly of the province of Pennsylvania, held March 10, 1683. The event was given by the Society of the Colonial Dames, and a feature of the celebration was the reading of a paper by Miss Anna Hollingsworth Wharton, which was an historical resume of the circumstances leading up to the formation of the first assembly. Mrs. i. D. Gillespie, the president, occupied the chair of state on the speaker's platform and opened the meeting with a few words of welcome, gracefully and cordially given. Miss Wharton, who is the historian of the society, then read her paper. The attend- ance included, besides the members of the local society, many members of the na- ticnal society, which spreads its ramifica- tions over thirty-two states and the Dis- trict of Columbia. . Johnson to THE NEW TARIFF BILL Republican Senators Setisfied That the De- bate Will Be Extended. Policy of the Sennte Finance Com- mittee When the Measure Shall Be Reportea. The republican caucus committee of the Senate was in session -again today, con- sidering the situation relative to a program for organizing the Senate. The committee is yet quite a distance from an agreement, and it may be decided to let the present condition continue for a time and make no attempt to reorganize the committees. The tariff situation is giving the republi- cans some concern. They feel sure that their bill can pass, but it is now believed that the cebate is going to be extended in the Senate. It is known that the inten- tion of the democrats is to talk on every subject in the bill. The delay is regarded by some democrats as good party policy. After the schedules of the bill become known it is belleved there will be a great increase of importations in order to take advantage of duties under the low rates. After the new bill goes into effect there will be a suspension of imports for several months and a consequent falling off in receipts, ard the bill which was designed to increase the revenues will, as a matter of fact, show a decrease. This view ‘is taken by quite a number of democrats, who say that it is their policy to have the Lill passea, but not until after it has been thoroughly discussed. Without an active majority in the Senate the republicans will not be able to hurry the measure along. Even the silver republicans who have in- dicated that they will not prevent a tarift bill from passing will no doubt enter into the policy of delay. Rerublican senators now feel that the new bill will have to be materially amend- ed by the committee on finance and the Senate. They have information that in maay peints the rates will be higher than in the law of 1890. It is kncwn that two sched- ules have been sutmitted to members of the finance committee, and as one of these is the chemical schedule, which covers many things which enter into the manu- facture of other goods, a general idea of the rates of the bill could be formed. Without making a close examination, it. is urderstood that senators think that the rates are high, in some cases higher than the law of 1890. Ag soon as the new bill is presented the republican members of the finance commit- tee will begin consideration of it, even be- fore it passes the House, in order to have it brought before the Senate at an early date. There was some discussion at one time that the republican members of the finance committee would be consulted by the ways and means committee while the latter was at work on the tariff, in order that a meas- ure might be framed which would require as little amendment by the Senate as pos sible. This has not been done, nor was it expected by the senators; in fact, they would have had no time during the close of the session for any such consultation. It is more than likely that joint action would have been unsatisfactory, and mem- bers of both houses are willing that it should be delayed until the bill is in con- ference, and has been debated by both houses. ‘At present the program of the republi- can senators is only definitely made out on one line, and that is to bring the tariff bill before the Senate as s00n as possible and press it with all possible speed. + + CHICAGO DEMOCRATS. Includes the Nomination of Carter Harrison. CHICAGO, March 11.—The democratic city convention was called to order about noon today by Chairman Thomas Gahan of the democratic tral committee, who introduced Chas. S.

The cocument committed the party to franchise compen- sation, the anti-department store move- ment and also advocated civil service re- form. ——— CANTABS HAD A JOLLY TIME. Incidentally the French and Ameri- can Ambassadors Were Given Degrees CAMBRIDGE, England, March 11.—Hon- orary degrees were conferred today by Cambridge University upon United States Ambassador Bayard and upon the retiring French ambassador, Baron de Courcel, with the usual ceremonies. There were many ladies present. The recipients of the honors were attired in scarlet robes, and from the undergraduate gaileriss were heard the usual comments on the proceed- ings. Mr. Bayard was wildly cheered and applauded for about five minutes, and a big American flag was unfurled and waved by the undergraduates. The public orator delivered a laudatory oration in Latin, full of compliments to the United States ambassador. asual, the orator was interrupted by the undergradu- ates with jocular yells of “Take your hat off,” “Take no notice of him, Mr. Bayard,” etc. The vice chancellor then presented the degree amid applause and cries of “Speech,” “Speech.” The ceremony ended with three cheers for the American ambassador and singing “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow,” and with whistling “Yankee Doodle” and “La Mar- sellaise.”” ——— EX-AUDITOR BRADEN DEAD. One of the Leading Republicans of the Northwest. ST. PAUL, Minn., Ntirch 11.—Ex-State Auditor W. W. Braden of thig state, one of the best known fépublicans of the northwest, died this morning at Los An- geles, Cal., where he went over three years ago to recover his health. His death was not unexpected. Mr.'! Braden had been brought into considerable prominence re- cently by the investigation of the state's claim to title in the famous Mountain iron mine, such title having been relinquished while Mr. Braden was state auditor, the land department being under that official. Iron was discovered some time after the state auditor relinquished the state’s claim to the land, and the recent legislative in- vestigation ‘has sought to prove that the fron deposits were known to exist earlier. To Reduce Telegraph Tolls. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 11.—The house by a vote of 47 to 21 passed the Gentz bill to reduce the telegraph tolls in the state. ‘The bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any telegraph company to charge more than a cent and a half per word for trans- mitting a message from any point to an- other given in the state of Washington, provided, however, that a minimum charge be made of 25 cents irrespective of the number of words contained in the message, and provided, further; that the charge for any message of ten words or more received or forwarded from a distance of 200 miles or less. shall be not to.exceed the sum of 1% cents per word. —— If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Ferrter. It is the subtitle that tells the most Inter- esting story about this work. The “Need of a New Crusade” ecomes, under present conditions, more striking than the deserip- tions of the Holy Land, which fill the greater part of the volume. The aathor returned from his tour through Palestine thoroughly convinced that the only means of rescuing that historic region from utter desolation under Turkish rule 1s a crusade of intervention undertaker by some Christian nation—to his m England would best accomplish sult—or by the establishment estine of a joint protectorate in case Europe would not permit a single nation to undertake the task of reform. The prin- cipal thing to be accomplished, however, is the banishment of the ‘Turk from 11 land, with his oppressive and tyrannical government, and the relief of the four hun- dred thousand people who now constitute the population of this once fertile, pros- perofts and closely inhabited section. The Bedouin must be kept to the east of the Jordan and civilization must penetrate every district. Roads must be built, har- bors provided and other facilities for com- mercial development afforded for the ben- efit of the Jews, who are essentially finan- cial, so the author concludes, and unfitted by temperament for the task of cult Fs i the re- over Pal- a sail, Just at juneture, when the Turk ts so much in evidence in the world’s wii tind IN ROMANC Wolffe & WIVES IN Ry William Compai Those who enjoy conversational litera ture without much action will be entertain- ed by this story, which is the narrative of two wives who undertake a yachting xpedition of their own.

TURES IN A ST! By Charles G. ison, Wolffe & Company. . Washington: Acadia is a romantic place, with an at- mosphere of adventure, heroism and po- etry hanging about it, and stories based on events in that land are sure to be of sufficient interest to hold the attention of the reader if at all well written. “The Forge in the Forest” is such a book. It ts fresh and delightful, and the action of the narrative {s continuous and rapid. The truth of such word pictures as to their local values must be largely taken on trust, but there is an evidence of honesty in the treatment in this case that leaves no doubt whatever that the author has utilized hi tory and personal observation in the con- struction of his charming romance.

Modern ingenuity will not leave unim- proved an article so tempting as the skate. A very cbvious betterment (obvious afier some one else has thought of it) is to com- bine skates and stilts. One of the most remarkable innovations to be tried this year is an exaggerated J velopment of the bigh Dutch skate, which, it will be remembered, had for its_claim to excellence the fact that the increased height of the foot rest, or clog, lengthened the leg by so much, and so, of course, In- creased the length of the stroke, and in- creased it just at the point where it was most effective, namely, at the end. This stands to reason; for as a stone is easier to roll down a hill, so it is easier to push a moving body to a greater momentum than to move a stationary one. This ts the idea of the new skate, which consists of a skate blade with a support of steel rising from the toe and the heel, until they are joined together, and from that point extending upward in a single rod, having a foot rest like a pair of stilts. The rigid rod is continued up to the knee of the skater, and is secured to the leg by light straps, the foot being strapped onto the rest just the same as a foot would be to a skate clog. The skate blades are nearly double the length of an ordinary blade, and it is esti- mated that the length of each stroke will be increased nearly three times, and ihat the speed of the skater will be increased until the present records are cut down nearly one-half. It is claimed that after the first effect of the unusual strain on the ankle is worn off, the new device is not more tiring than the old one, and that a beginner with a new idea skate can, if he be a fair skater, pick it up almost immediately. It is well known that a man on stilts will outpace a man walking, and so there is every reason to suppose that the skater on stilts will do the same. Any cne who feels like trying the new idea can do so at very moderate cost, for any iron worker will soon fit an old pair of skates with the stilt devic es A Pleasant Room. From Chicago Interior. A nervous young minister visiting’ a re mote village had a somewhat unpleasant experience. The old lady at whose house he stayed, in showing him to his room, said: “It ain't anybody I'd put in this room. This room is full of sacred associa- tions to me,” she went on. “My first hus- band. died in that bed with his head on those pillows, and poor Mr. Jenks died sit- ting in that corner. Sometimes when I come into this room in the dark I think I see him sitting there still. My own father ied layin’ right on that lounge under the window there. Poor pa, he was a Spiritual- ist, and he allus said ‘he'd appear in this room after he died, and sometimes I am foolish enough to look for him. If you should see anything of him tonight, you'd better not tell me. It'd be a sign to me that there was something in Spiritualism, and I'd hate to think that. My son by my first man fell dead of heart disease right wire you stand. He was a doctor, and there’s two whole skeletons in that Closet there belonged to him, and_half-a-dozen skulls in that long drawer. If you are up early, and want something to amuse your- self with before breakfast, just open that cupboard there and you will find a lot of dead men's bones. My poor boy thought a lot of them. Well, good night and pleas- ant dreams.” SS Great Disaster at Fes.
