Representative Browne, of Indlana, Preparing a Bill Abolishing the Tax on Tobaceo—-Birthplaces of Congressmon. The Northwest For Tariff Reform. WasnixeToN Burrau Tine OMAnA Bes, 513 FounTEENTH STREEY, % Wasmixeros, D. C., Dec. 27. Several of the leuding newspapers of the #ast have commented upon the Bee's recent editoriph review of Mr. Blaine's tarift mes- sage. To-lay's Baltimore Sun devotes al- most a_hall column of comment, with tho Bee's editorinl as a basis, and agrees fully with its deductions. The Sun declares that the great northwest is almost solidly for a reform of the turiff without party distinc- tions, and that it must be rem@nbered that the intercsts of the agriculturalists of the ‘west and northwest were never identical ‘withr4hose of the protectioniste in the east; that candidates having moderate tariff views have the best ehance, whether républicans or democrats, aid the fact that the Minnesota delegation is solidly for tariff reform and will fight ngainst tho protection policy formulated in the Blaino interview and sustained by Representative Reed, of Maine, is signifi- cant, WHAT THE REPURLICANS PROPOSE. Goneral Browne, of Indiana, who is one of tho oldest republican members in the houso and » member of the committee on ways and means, is compiling a tariff bill which 18 n- tended to mect the views of his party. He proposes to abolish the tobacco tax, thus re- ducing the government's income about £30,000,000 a year, and to place sugar, lumber, salt and some of the other necessaries of life, which are not produced in anything like the quantities to meet the demand on the free list. He will also reduce the duty on the common articles of woolens and clothing generally, aud, in brief, meet the demands of the masses in a gencral reduction of the necessuries of life without impairing the resent protection to_labor, and the manu- facturing interests, He believes that his moasure will receive the general support of his party and that the republicans should, as soon as possible, lny before the house their jdens of tariff reform and not wait till the emocrats agree upon a bill which the repub- icans will have to support. s Spéaker Ci controlling the legislation of the Some of the oldest members in both par say that when the speaker is asked to recog- nizen member for the purpose of moving & suspension of the rules for the consideration of & measure, he never gives a reply until he knows _what bill is to be called up. If heis n?mm-d to the measure he refuses to recog- nize the member making the application, and ives as his reason that he is_opposed to the ill. This is very unusual. While Mr. Ran- dall was speaker' he steadily refused, when asked for recognition under suspension of the rules, to learn what measure was to b called up by the motion, because, id, he did not want to b { way or the other; question of available time bility of going out of tk Other speakers have allow same course, Under the practice of Speaker Carlisle it becomes absolutely impossible for & member to moye a_suspension of the rules for the passage of a measure unless the speaker approves of the proposed legislation. During the last scssion_the speaker was im- portuned a number of times by members who _wanted to moyo to suspend the_ rules for the ‘consideration of various general pension bills and the Blair educational bill. Mr. Carlisle, when told what would come up under the mo* tions, frankly said that he opposed the pro- posed legislation and for that' reason could w10t give recognition.

In New York were born fifty-one of the men now serving in congress. as has but one native at the capitol. Thirty-nine of the members were born in Peunsylvania and have nursed the principles of protection from her breast. Thirty-eight, only one loss, first saw the light in the Buckeye state, and twenty-threo first opened their” oyes to the bluo grass of Kentucky. Virginia comes next with twenty-one of the sense of her soil sitting as law-makers at the capitol. Thereare nineteen natives of North Carolina in con- gress, while the 0ld commonywealth of Mass- achuseits can_claim maternity over but six- teen, The District of Columbia has one man in the house, Arkansas has but two, Towa and Florida one each, Maine nine, New Hump- shire six and Vermont nine. Little Rhode Island has five sons who can talk into the Congressional Record. Conneeticut has one less, and New Jersey and Delaware cach have four.

The names and organization of the various express companies doing business in the United States are given. There is nothing in the nature of the express business which pre- vents its being carried on by an ordinary partnership or even individual, provided the necessary contracts can be obtained with transportation lines. The most usual con- tract is one w hich pays to the railvond com- pauy 40 per cent of the gross receipts of the express company, but various other methods of settlement are employed. The arguments urged by the express companies aguinst their being treated as subject to the act are con- sidered in detail. The fact that Ihv{ perform many other services besides the trans- portation of property is not regarded as & reason why the act should not be treated as to their business as common car- i3 i 18 of the act are con- sidered with relation to the express bu ave found in_theory to be as app thereto as to tho business of railroad com- panies. Requiring of annual reports from express companies is said to be a matter con- cerning which the public have a right to be informed, and congress may particularly de- sire the knowledge. At prescnt little is known about the amount of their tal stock, their funded debt or the money invested in their plant or business; the yolume of their busi- ness with the expense thereof; the rates charged und the methods nupon which rates are constructed. The capitilization of some of the companies is known to be quite largo, hd smoeunting to many millions of dollars in each case. The diffeulty of framing schedules + for the information of the public,is uot found > to be greater than in the case of railroad com- nies which have complied with the act, hflnfln’ of express companies withln the provisions of the act is found to be practicable and on some accounts desirable. 0 express companies, which are simply branches of the railroads, organized and operated through its ordinary staff by an independent bureau, or by combination with other railrond companiies, are found to be covered by the provisions of the act. the case of Inde- $ In pendently ory cxpross uics, how- b ever, WM con! for trans- o portation, the language of the act, as it now o Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 2 p. daily, except Sundays, at 1p. m,, arrive at Ansley by 2:30 p. m. dday and Thursd Buchanan by 6 p. m. John Lyons, Wood River; Joseph W. stands, is found to be framied as not to bring them dlsuan{ thin T4 provisions. The preliminary in' igation by the inter. state commerce oommittes of the sehate did not include the business of express companies and was confined almost wholly to that of railroad companics. Upon all these con- siderations the commissioners has thought best to refer the subject to congress, as in any case of “doubtful jurisdiction it is far better that the legislative body should resolve the doubt. Army Personals, Wisnrsatoy, Deo, 28.—[Spoctal Telogram to the Brs.] —General Sherman accompanicd by General Sheridan, ealled upon the presi- dent to-day. They afterwards wentto the war department, where General Sherman ‘was the recipient of the warmest greetings. General Sherman's visit is of a persoual and social nature, and he expects to attend the president's New Year's réception and to be at home to callers at his brotuer's residence a8 ho was last year.

HENNESEY THE MARDEST HITTER But Captain Cormick Interfers and the Referee Decides in Favor of Jimmie—~Kellett Docs Not Compete., The Athletic Exhibition. The audience which asscmbled at Boyd's opera house last night was only fair, pre- sumably on account of the intense cold weather, At §:30 Patsy Fallon advanced to the footlights and announced that Billy Thomas, of Honey Brook, Pa., and Larry Dwyer, of Omaha, would open the- ball by sparring three rounds, which they did, and & rattling three rounds was, with odds ih favor of Dwyer in the first and second, while Thomas got in some effective work on Larry's » bread basket in the last. Prof. Arthur Rothery and Prof. Ed Miller then entertained the audience in a three- round contest, in which both displayed con- siderablo talent. At the wind-up each let out a little and gave and took with equal grace, which action afforded much delight to the spectators. Steve Phoebe and Billy Nichols, two feath- erweights from Birmingham, England, belted each other In varfous portions of their anat- omy for four rounds and made matters de- cidedly lively while they were at it, Nichols having a little the best of the series, not for- getting to give Phoebe credit for several center shots on his opponents proboscis. Billy McNulty, an all-round athlete from Philadelpnia, then performed the dificult foat of jumping in and out of four barrels placed “close together, which evoked much applause. Tommy Miller of Omaha, who is matched against the “Belfast Spidor,” and Tommy Burke, of Wyoming, occupied the attention of the audience for ten rounds, all of which, excepting the last two, being somewhat, univ ng. Those, however, were quite lively rom appearances the weather in-Burke's vicinity was somewhat sultry, George Kendall, champion dumb-bell lifter of the world, then put up a twenty-five-pound dumb-bell 462 times in 8 minutes and 80 sec- onds, after which G.

Hemnesey forced the fighting and drove Jimmy all round the ring, hitting him several vicious blows in the first round, while thoso of Lind- say were but light. Round number two saw some good work on both sides, Hennesse having the advantage, at one time knocking J. L. down. 'The third was similar to the first and both men did some clever work, Hennesey hitting and Jimmy jumping out of the way when he could. The last three rounds were tame compared with the others, « to the presence of Captain Cormack, who insisted that the blows should not exceed over three and a half pounde each, and threatened, should his ukase be disregarded, to do the grand wind-up himself and stop the mill. As the captain outranked any of the interested parties, the advice was taken, and with the exception of the latter part of the last round no heavy blows were struck.

Man- ning Light and Charles Beckwith and turned over to the union depot master in that city. The child said that his father had left the train while Mr. Beckwith was asleep and he did not know what had become of him, He said that his mother lived in Newark, N. T., and the Cincinnati police, not hearing from the father, decided to send him there. Mr. Beckwith told the police that Simpson, Light and himsclf were traveling in company and _ that the former had disappeared. As he did not know what elso to do with tho child, he turned him over 10 the authoritics. A telegram from Mr. Beckwith at Lawrence, Kan., received in the city to-dny, denies that he was aware that Simpson was not dead. He was asleep when the train passed_through Waycross, Ga., when the boy says his father left him. Simpson’s ticket would have compelled him 10 change there, as he was bound for Cincin- nati by way of Jesup, Ga., while Beckwiths ticket read by way of Albany. The latter expected to moct Simpson at lanta, but not finding him_there, turne boy over to the police on his arrival in Cin- cinnati, Mr. Simpson explained 1o Socretry . 0. Huckett_that he had fallen in with Beckwith and_Light on the train. As they were all_coming as far as Kunsas City to- gether, they agreed to travel in company. Simpson admitted that he had been drinkin when he got off at some way station and left by the train, “I was detained twenty four hours’ he said, ‘but took the first train and came on, I expected to meet Beckwith and my boy in Chatta- nooga, Failing to find them there I thought 1 would certainly find them in Kansas City. 1 felt very badly over the report that T de- serted the child, as T never thought of such a thing. 1had been travelng with him for a year and a half through various parts of the South.” Simpson was informed that the boy had Dbeen sent to his mother in New York by the Cincinnati police. He seemed disappointed that the boy had been sent to his mother, fearing that he would never see the child again, Simpson and his wife had been sep- arated for some years @nd. had had trouble over the possession of the, child before. An- other son, about fiftoen years of age, has been with the mother for jome time. ' Simpson was informed that nothing more could be done for him here and want his way to devise measures to recover s his child from its mother.

Dr. Walkar,was called, who adminis- tered emetics and saved herlife.

Mr. Henry Somers, formerly a popular restauranteur of this city, but later of Chi- cago, has returned again to Omaha and will act as overseer for both of Mr. Higgins' res- taurants. He has been with Chapin & Gore, at Chicago, and comes herc at their recom- mendation. In an interview last evening Mr. Higgins said that the charge of fraud brought against him was unjust. It was his intention that no creditor of his should loso a cent, and under the_efficient management of Mr. Somers, he hoped to pull through all right.

DexvER, Colo., Dec. 28.—(Special Telogram to the Ber.]—A party of 150 well-dressed and equally well-behaved men left the city at 1:30 this afternoon on a train bound for a point about twenty miles from Denver and outside of the county limits for the_purpose of witnessing a sparring contest for points between Lawrence Farrell, of Denver, and Samuel Gaundecker, of Pennsylvania. These parties are all-around athletes and were in excellent trim, Farrell’s woight is 180 pounds and that of Gaundecker fiftcen pounds less. The train pulled out from the foot 6f Nine- teenth strect. Hard gloves were used in the contest. A twenty-four-foot ring was formed without much'trouble. When time was called for the first round Gaundecker bounded to the center like a rubber ball, while Farrell walked up in & composed manner, almost approaching dig- nity. A few passes at the start and then u a play upon the part of Gaundecker, which resulted in nothing, ended the round. At the comencement of the second round Farrell hit his opponent on the nose, causing an appearance of biood. The third round ended in favor of the lit- tle man, who continued o pound @ particular spot on Farrell's left side and which scemed to wind him badly, Farrell in the meantime made a target of Gaundecker's face and drew more blood from his npse. When time was called for the fourth round Farrell had recovered somewhat and came up smiling like a sure winner, It was give- and-take, considerable short-arm work being done by both men. Gaundecker gave evi- dence of weakening and fought on the de- fonsive until the end. At the finish his upper lip was cut, swollen and bleeding pro- fusely. Tho fifth round witnessed some hard blows from each side. Guundecker caught a_ lick on the left eye which made tears roll down his cheeks in streams. The ninth and last round ended the fight. Gaundecker wus rather inclined to force the two weeks, the Italian_troops. beil ian forces. Cookstown. lescing. Danes and Kris Kringle. The Danisn association celebrated at Metz' hall last evening with a Christmas tree and ball. A large number weére present, among them many children, all of whom were re- membered by Kris Kringle. After the pres- ents were distributed the Christmas tree was moved aside, and the floor cleared for duncing. None but good old-fashioned fig- ures were danced, among them them the pretty versouvienne, now almost unknown. Refreshments were served and the festivities were kept up until 8 a, m. the republican ies, and in still A Party for Little People. The little people of Unity church had a pleasant dress party at the church last eve- ning. The room was tastily adorned with evergreens. In the front was a witch's ket~ tlo supported on three stakes, in which were a lot of presents. Santa Claus appeared from his place of hiding and distributed these with a free hand.

There has rarely been a time when a political party received worse counsel or more of it than is just now given to partisans who care merely to win, in part by doetriuaires who care only for their abstract theor- larger who have axes to grind.
