Goselp Among Tariff Reformers WASHINGTON, Doe Speeial Tele- gram to the Bee.|-~Tariff reformers in the house are coupling with their arcuments the threat of the president to eall an extra session of the Fiftieth congress it something to re- duce the surplus and revenues is not done before the 4th of March. Berviah Wilkins and some other Ohio members are prociaime ing the willingness of the delegation from that state to submit to a mild reduction of the tariff on wool for the sake of getting the thine started. e adds, however, that the reduction must be eonfined to coarse wool, so as not to interfere with the wool industry in Olio. It is believed among tariff reformers that if a bill was framed proposing even the slightest reduction on wool that the Ohio delecation would be solidly opposed to it ‘The three factions—the Randall democrats, republicans, and Morrison democrats—were never farther apart on any subject than at this moment on reform. Your correspondent interviewed the twelve or fifteen members and four senators who were at the capital during the day and they did not think there was any danver of an extra session because, they stated, the country would not endorse the action of the president in calling an extra session for the purpose of reducing the tariff and lessening protection to the manufactur- ing interests. They ail declared thatifa session was called it wounld in reality be to reform the tariff, whatever the ostensible reason might be. Knowing this the presi- dent would not dare to do it A BRILLIANT PROGEAMAME, A good deal of comment has been made to- night on the extensiveness of the programme of entertamments to be held at the white house during the remainder of the season. Noone seemed tohave any idea what was intended till it was published this afternoon, It is seen that between January 1 and Feb- Tuary 22 there are to be five public receptions, in which both the president and Mrs. Clove Tand will partieipate, fonr recentions by Mrs, Cleveland alone, and three dinners for eon- gress and the judieiary and diplomatic corps.

Millions of dollars devolved on the result of the trial and the precedent . which involves the title to nearly five hundred mining elaims in the vicinity of Aspen, Pitkin county, Colorado. The ques: tion at issue was whether the Aspen wines contained fissure yeins or deposits of ore. 1f the fissure theory were correct, then the owners' elaims on the apex, or where the out croppings are visible on the surface, had a right under United States statute to follow the dip vein into other claims. But if the deposit theory was iaintained then the vast number of mmes on the side of Aspen mountain could be operated by their owners as far as the boundaries of their claims. ‘The present suit was brought by 1. M. Hyman.ot Cineinnati, againstJ, B, Wheeler, of New York City, and other capitalists. Hyman owns the Durant mine, an apex elaim, and Wheeler and friends own the Ennina mine, which lies immediately beneath the Durant, —on _the side of Aspen mountains, Durant is the older loca- tion, but' rich ore was first struck in the Emma. About £is000,000 worth of ore had been taken out of the Emma when the Durant people brought suit to reain pos- session of the Emma_on the apex theory and the courts enjoined the Emma from further operations, 'Tlie case lias been on trial three weeks, the best known mining experts in the west being about equally divided on each side, To-night the jury bronght in n verdict in favor of the Durant mine. The Aspen mine, the richest in the camp, lies imme- diately beneath the Enma, and suit 1s now pouding to obtan_possession of it by the Jurant people, Two million dollars had been taken from the Aspen mine and as much more in sight when the work on it was enjoined, The other apex owners have been awaiting the result of this trial and will now bring suit to recover possession of those mining_eclaims lying on the mountain side below them. ‘I'his is the first case tried in Colorado involving the apex theory since the Leadville litigation was begun in the early history of that camp, and which was settled about threo months ago in the supreme conrt of the United States against the apex theory . In the Leadville cases the hanging wall was claimed to be porphery and the foot wall limestone.
