" BIGHTEENTH A STATUE FOR SHERIDAN. The Army of the Cumberland win Erect It. . TALK ABOUT THE EXTRA SESSION Benator Aldrich Says the Tariff Bil Will Pass Before Christmas— Will Veto the Direct Tax Bill. WASHINGTON Buneav Tie OMana Brg, 513 FOURTEENTI STREET, Wasningron, D, C., Dee The committee appointed by the Arn the Cumberland to General Sheridan will commence active ope- ration very shortly. The only member of the committee now in the city is Senator Manderson of Nebraska. “The Army of the Cumberland,” said the senator to-day, serected in this city the statues to Thomas and Garfleld, it raised in each case the sum of about 80,000, and & similar sum of $30,000 or $40,000 will easily be raised to aid in keep- ing green the memory of Sheridan. We shall, as in the two previous instances, ask the government to donate the site and ped- estal, and this request will, I have no doubt, bo complied with.” PINIONS ON AN EXTRA SESSION. Agitation of the subject of an extra session 18 causing the possibility of the early calling together of the Fifty-fitst congress to be quite extensively discussed among the mem- bers and senators. General Browne, of Indiana, when asked to-day as to his opinion, said he believed there should be an extra sossion, but he did not think it should be called before late in the summer or eaddy in the fall. The reason he assigned for the delay v that the immediate reconvening of congress after inauguration would bring down such a flood of work on the new president that “he would be deaa before the first frost.” Major McKinley, of Ohio, who is as much interested as any one man, in the early calling back of the house, said that in his opinion, no matter but one of the utmost public importan should lead the president to call congry to- gother for an extra session. Such reasons wonld be furnished in the opinion of Major McKinley if the present house fuiled to dis- pose of the surplus question. He did not think even so important a matter as the admi sion of new states would furnish a necessur excuse if the surplus problem is disposed of ATHE SUBSTITUTE'S" CHANCES. “Unless we are confronted with some unforsecn obstacle,and there is factious oppo- sition to stay progress, we intend to pass the republican substitue for the Mills tarift bill before we eat our Christmas turkey,” said Mr. Aldrich, one of the leading republican members of the senate committee on finance, this afternoon. *So far,” continued Mr. Al- drich, *the democrats have not* shown any organized or individual determination to im- de the progress of the bill. I do not be- ieve they intend to offer any unuccessary resistance. They appear to be disinclined to debate the measure at any considerable Jength, and appear to be iu 4 rather disorgau- ized condition.” DEMOCRATIC DESIGNS. There is considerable talk arouud the room of the committee on finance to-day about the designs of democratic members of the house committee on ways and means, in relation to the republican substitute. It ‘was reported, upon the authority of av least one democratic member of the committee ou ways and means, that the committee intends 10 secure the passage by the house of a bill repealing the tobacco tax and ‘“correcting some of the incongruities of the present tariff laws.” The object of this bill will, of course, be to oppose the anxiety of the southerners for an absolute repeal of the tobacco tax, and therefore to pigeon-hole the republican’ bill when it come over from the scnate. A largo number of the southern members would be willing to vote for the republican measure for the purpose of securing a repeal of the tobacco tax, If the house should, before the nate bill comes over, pass such a measuro is proposed by the committee on ways and means, the democratic members of thut com- mittee believe the republican bill would re- ceive none of the southern support, because there would no longer be an excuse for their voting for it on the ground that it is to securo relief for tobacco. 'The republican members of the senate committee on finance say they will readily recommend, and they have no doubt the senate willspeedily pass a measure such as the one reported 1o be in the minds of the committec on ways and means, HOW THE BILL WILL BE SHELVED, Mr. Bynum of Indiana, one of the leading demoeratic members of the committee con ways and means, said to-day that when the republican substitute to the Mills bill is re- ceived by the house, it will be referred to the committee on ways and means, and that a conference cannot bo ordered until the com- mittee Las examined the measure for the purpose of determining whether they ~ will ask for & conference or recommend a coneurrence in the amend- ments. When asked if the majority of the commitwee would be inclined “to report the bill back to the nouse, so thata fair and square vote could be had upon it, Mr, Bar- pum replied significantly: “Thatis a ques- tian I cannot answer.” “When asked if he believed the bill would be passed by the house, he readily replied, *No, I do not. In the first place I don't expect to see the bill reach the house before late in January, and if it should be placed before the house for consideration then, there would not be time 10 reach the previous question, or the house would want to debate it, and consider the amendments for at least thirty days. Thero are a lot of appropriation bills to be disposed of, besides much other legislation of an im- rtant and necessary character, and I think © house will have no time to talk tariff, WILL VETO THE DIRECT TAX D11 Mr, Breckenridge, of Arkansas, who is prominent on the committee on ways and means, said this afternoon: I have no doubt that the direct tax bill will be passed by the housg next week, and if there are any amend- ments to it they will be concurred in by the senate, but if [ was the president I should surely veto it.”” There seems to be an almost unanimous belief among the committee that the president will veto the direet tax bill, MALONE FOR A FOREIGN MISSION. Virginia republicans very geverally and democrats from that state, are almost unani- mously prodicting that General Mahone will be given a foreign mussion under President Harrison, They contend that this would bring about harmony in the party in the Old Dominion. One of General Mahone's most intimate friends said, this afternoon, that the general would not t a second-class mis- sion and he doubted if the new administ tion would be willing to give him a first-class wission, RN ‘;r-uor 'cnll-rl.l" To-day a *‘proof copy” of the con, directory for the second session of gress was received from the government printing office by Senator Manderson, chair- man of the committee on printing. It con- tains the unofticial list of the members-elect the Fifty-first congress, therefore indi- cates just wudt the republicans claim as to the polil compioxion for the next house, It gives the republicans a majority of three, Senator Manderson belicves this margin is 80 close that if there is auy im) runl.ingw lation to work upon President Harrison will be justified in an early calling of the extra session. What the republicans very much desire is organization and action as soon as ible upon partisan questions of gréat portance. DENOUNCING THE MAIL SERVIOR. Since the election, cowplaints about the ‘execrable mail service throughout the coun- try are piling into Washington like a flood. Eeveral ocratic congressmen have re- ceived letters from their constituents making complaints about delays in the transmission &nd delivery of mail, and the lotters makin the complaints are in some instances deh,ye’ 8 long &s & week or ten duys, Oue western sional this con- THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE 15| | YEAR. congressman received a letter two wecks old complaining that it often took three or four days to get a letter from point to point in one state, People in Washington now almost invariably get their mail one day later than they did a year ago. Much of the mail from extreme southern points two days behind ! There has been 5o much feeling worked up the miserable mail service that a de- mand will be made within forty-eight hours after Presid nt Harrison is inaugurot & for the removal of the superin tendent the railw mail service and the division superintendents of the mail service. Then will come demands from the people, democrats along with the republicans, for a complete sweep of the in- eMcient railway employes. Much of the blame for the wholesule delays in the trans. mission and delivery of mail is laid at the dodrs of men connceted with the railway mail service, A great deal of complaint, however, is charged to the postmasters in the large cities. They are responsible for the employment and retention of meficient employes. The democrats anpear to be fully as much interested in having agood mail sel vice, even though their friends connected with it must be removed, to wive place to able men, as the republicans ar It is slieved that there will be a reinstatement of nearly all of the capable republicans who were removed from the mail service during the firsv year or two of the prosent adminis- tration. “The younger men who were re- moved will very largely be called back to their posts of dut! of of congress as to what will be done after the 4th of March next, in the way of committee positions for Mr. Ingalls, presi- dent pro tempore of the senate, and Speaker Carlisle, of the house, Vice-President Mor- ton will take the presiding officer's gavel in the senate after inauguration day, and Mr. Ingalls will go back to his seat on’ the floor during the regular proceedings. He has, during the two yoars he has been president pro tempore of the senate, and for some time prior to that period, been chairman of the committec on the District of Columb Some scnators belicve that the distinction given Mr. Ingalls by his services in the presiding officer’s ehair will recommend him 1o & higher committeo appointment, and that he will be called to the chairmanship of the committee on foreign relations in the event Mr. Sherman, who is its present chairman, is made secretary of state under Presideat Harrison. It is not at all likely that the fact that Mr. Ingalls has presided over the senate for some time will operate to elevate him in his committee relations. Mr. Edmunds ranks the committee on foreign relations, he is chairman of the committee on he would not be promoted to the 1ship of foreign relations, but Mr. who is the third member on the com- wmittee, it 18 beiieved, will be called to the chairmanship. Mr. Frye is, probably. the most thoroughly versed in diplomatic affairs of any man in the senate, with the exception of Mr. Sherman. ‘The question among democratic members is whether Speaker Carlisle will go upon the committee on ways and means or appropria- tions. If he should be given a position on the first named committe¢ he would, of course, want to rank Chairman Mills, who will undoubtedly be retained on the commit tee, aud some members think that Mr. Mills would not want to bo placed below the head of the democratic side of the committee. Friends of both men say that beyond reasonabl doubt Mr. Carlisle will have the first on the democratic side of the committee on ways and means, and thaev Mr. Miils will sit beside and not below him. Neither oi these men want a place on the committee on appropria- tions, Both are deeply mterested in the tariff, and if they were not placed on the ways and means committee, would undoubt~ edly prefer to go upon some insignificant committee which would take neither time nor attention. THE $0-CALLED TRUST INVESTIGATION. After all nothing is to come of the long, tedious and expensive investigation by the house committee on anufactures into the subject of trusts, It is now very plain that this investigation was conducted with a view to obtaining information which could be used against the republican party in the campaign just closed. The democrats in the house believed that an investigation into trusts would prove that trusts are formed only under high tariff, and that there are no trusts excepting those affecting highly pro- tected articles. A partial report was made of the investigation to the house a short time before the last session closed, but there was nothing material in it, and no action is to be taken upon it. The whole business is tofall flat as an unsuccessful political effort, On the contrary, the republicans in the senate have determined to push the Sher- man anti-trust bill to a tinal adoption. The contrast between the beginning and closing of the efforts of the representatives of the two parties on the one subject is very great. The democrats in the house started out to texpose” the republican party for its con- nection with trusts, and now it winds up after the election with nothing to show for its talk and with no indication of accomplish- ing anything. The republicans said nothing, but sawed wood. They quietly reported a bill and placed it upon the calendar. The elec- tion passed over, and now the bill is to be taken up and passed. Ouo was for political buncombe and the other for the good of the country. - ARMY NEW - Among the army nominations expected at the senate on Monday 18 that of Father Will- am J. Larkin, of Chicago, to be a post chap- uin. Major Asa Bird Gardiner, of the judge ad- vocate general's department, has been placed on the retired list. He was pronounced in- capacitated for active service early last spring, but action was deferred in his case in order that he wmight complete the case pend- ing before the court of claims involving a question of authority between the secretary of war and the ounting officers of the treasury. Major Gardiner looks well, and, it is said, will locate in New York and prac- tice law, Perry 5. Heatu, i — HOUSE DEMOCRATS ALARMED. They Charge Their Brethren in the Senate With Neglect of Duty, WasmiNaron, Dec. 8.—The Evening Star has the following: There is a fecling of great, anxiety and depression amoug the leaders of the democratic party in the house on account of the course being followed by the demo- cratic senators in the tariff matter, They are almost disheartened by it. The demo- crats of the ways and meaus committee put their souls into the fight in the house and feel that the battle is still on and must be keptup to the last. They think that the senate bill should be fought with the greatest funllh’ncy and vigor, 80 that every defect in t may be exsulcd. and feel that any other course toward it would be equivalent almost to a confession of judgment. They are sur- prised at the passive way in which the demo- cratic senators appear to conducting them- selyes. Nearly all the hard work in getting up facts and figures hus been done by the ways and means committee, and ghe senators have but to 88 themselves of information now easy of access; yet it is complained that they have shown no disposition to do so, and none of them have undertaken a vigorous chawm- pionehip of the party's cause. All the democrats of the house want is that the defects they think they see in the senate bill should be drageed out in d&vllghc ana vigorously attacked and denounced, They don't care whether the bill passes tho sgnate or not, and thay do not want to have 10 take'it up in the house at all this session, 'x‘uo{ desire that the deinceratio senators shall make every point possible against the measure, and then, when it reaches theé house, it will be allowed to lie in committee, They say, however, that ths{ cannot afford to let the bill without criticism, as it has, practically, so far, and that if the senators fail to a0’ their fiut{ the ways aud means comumittee will be obliged to take it up, . — &=3 Montana's Official Vote.

THE FEELING IN THE REICHSTAG, A Growing Sentiment in Favor of the Purchase of All the Com- pany's Rights by the Government. Foreign Potpourri. [Copyright 1888 by New York Associated Press.] Benriay, Dee. 8.—Thae reichstag adjourns on December 15 and will reassemble about the middle os January. The critical situa- tion in Eastern Africa, where tho Arabs are effectually wiping out German colonists and clearing the territory of every vestige of the German regime, will force more ample ex- planations of Germany’s policy than the chancellor intended. It is reported to-night that the chancellor may yet relieve Count Herbert of the responsibility of making ex- planations, and come himself to the reichstag on Thursday to disclose his scheme for a restoration of German influence. Until recently the chancellor has not had any enthusiasm about East Africa cuter- prise, and would rather have avoided - national action tending toward something like the Tonquin expedition. He now feels the stimulus of excitement that is spreading throughout Germany, and, ac- cording to official information, is determined to protect the flag throughout the ceded ter- ritories, ‘There is a strong and growing party in the reichstag which advocates the purchase of the East Africa company’s rights by the gov- ernment and the subseauent formation of a military post to guard the colonies and trad- ers, A white book, tabled in the reichstag to- day, Elames the company’s administration as productive of disaster. Tue conclusion reached after scanning the white book is that the Germans would not be in a worse plight. There is every indication that su- premacy and the absolute avandonment of the territory are the only alternatives, Indications of the chancellor’s project ap- pear in a dispatch to Count Von Hutzfeldt, the German ambassador at London, under date of Cctob 5 n which the chancellor says that the vast extent of country, combmned with the cli- matic conditions, stands in the way of tempts to carry civilization far into the in- terior. The dispatch is interpreted as fore- shadowing an expedition mto the iuterior with indefinite limits, Emperor William is making a special study of events in East Africa, the condition of warfare in that region, what force would be required, and how far operations should ex- tend. Last evening he had a_conference on the subject with Count Herbert Bismarck and Count Von Wolders. The chancellor has sent Lieutenant Wise. mann to Brussels to interview King Leopold with reference to the proposed Belgian ex- pedition to Central Africa. Prince Bismarck asks King Leopold to preside over the inter- national slavery conference, displacing the papal president. The reports current to- night refer to a plan of the East Africa com- vany to recruit a volunteer force of 2,500 men, under the approval of the government, for service in the interior, while the regular force occupies selected coast positions. The discussion of the aged workman's in- surance bill promises to lead to moditications acceptable to the progressists. Minister Von Boetticher was honest in his declaration that the government was ready to adopt any rea- sonable alteration of the bill. Some features to which Herr Von Grilienberger raised ob- jections will be removed, The payments to the insured will probably begin at the age of 65; the amount of relief will be increased, and a committee of izsuretl workmen will be formed to prepure statutes to regulate the adwinistration of the funds. The courts of arbitration on disputed cases will consist of equal numbers of workmen and employers. Flerce party polemics have arisen over the defeat of the cartel candidate for the reichs- tag, for Melle and Diepholz, Hanover. The well known national liberal, Herr Sattler, demanded re-election on account of s re- ceiving a new ofticial appointment. In 1887 he obtained 7,620 votes, against 7,230 for the combimed Guelph and progressist can- didate. Now he obtained only 5800 votes, against 8,000 for the opposition. The progressists are jubilant, holding that the victory is not isoluted or phenomenal, but that it proves there isa popular movement against the cartel parties. They pont to thirteen side elections since the general election, each disclosig a decrease in the cartel party's vote. The Cologne Gazette attacks the pro- gressists as ready to unite with any enem; of German unity—Guelph, Pole, Dane or French malcontents—if they only can su ceed in weakening the governmeut. The government organs_ generally do not conceal their fears of a tendency to alteration in the popular suffrage, but argue that the na- tional scntiment, which was rearroused at the general election, will again give triumph to the cartel parties. . The health of the emperor has so improved that he is preparing to go on Wednesday on a shooting expedition in Hanover, The jour- ney depends on the weather, his doctor’s ad- vising him to avoid exposure to severe cold. The officials within the emperor’s circle are made to feol the influence of his pain and confinement in his intense irritability and constant demands for unnecessary work. Appeals to the emperor to release Prof. Geflcken are received with disfavor. The emperor declares that he cannot interfere with the prosecution. On the other hand, he has abandoned the action mstituted by bim as residuary legatee of his father against the Kieler Zeitung for publishing Frederick’s diary of 1560, The Latin league, which aims to detach Italy from the triple alliance, is now openly advocated by the Spanish politicians, botn monarchist and republican, Senor Castelar goes to Rowe to invite the moderate repup- licans to join a coalition to oust Premier Crispl, accept the existing monarchy and avoid hostility to the church until the league of France, Spain, Italy and Belgium suc- ceeds w overthrowing the Austro-Germanio alliance. Tnough somewhat visionary, the efforts to form such a league are carefully watched here. Castelar's mission is certain te hamper the free play of Crispi's policy, and, though it cnunot possibly lead to a rup- ture of the existing alliance, might mfluence another ministry against the object of the treaty on the expiration of the present en- gagement, Senor Armijo, S panish minister of foreign affairs, privately approves of Benor Castelar's object, if he did not incite him to go to Rome. The strained relations of the German foreign office with Senor Armijo causes a delay of the acceptance of Senor Roseau as the new Spanish embassador, Count Benomar will continue to be recognized as the representa- tive of Spain until bus letters of recall aro presented in duo form, Fearing increased dificulty with Berlin, Senator Armijo has renounced his intention to try Count Benmar before a state council tribunal. Prince Bismarck has seut a letter to Count Benomar, expresssing astonishment that he should have been recalled. The lot- ter is meant as a slap In the face for Senor Armijo. The incident does not end here, Count Benomar has refused to consign to his siiccessor cortam archives of the embas: The developments will have vital divlomatic interest, . President Decherd of the Reichs bank says that the discount rate of 41§ per cent has nothing to do with the Russian loan. The bourse attributes the rise chiefly to the re- auirements of the government for an imme- diate advance of 80,000,000 marks for arma- ment. The money is raised on the treasury bill. The bankers do not agree as to the necossity for the increase of the rate. Money is abundant, and the bullion supplies of the Reichs bank are increasing, The Russian loan meets with scant encouragement, and the issue is certain to fall flat here. In Paris, however, it is well received, A Freneh syndicate has bought several ex- isting coal-pits and obtained minms rights in xtensive district in Russian Poland, along the Prassia-Silesian frontier. The prelminary examination Grefleken has been coneluded. His friends expect that the rigor of his confinement will be relaxed and that they will have the read- iest access to him.

Hubbard Takes a Hand. Cricaao, Dec. 8.—At a meeting of the an- archists last night a call for a mass-meeting to be held to-morrow at 54 West Lake street was issued, and it was an- nounced that, in case the police should interfere with this meeting, adjournment would be taken to Haymarket square, the sccne of the histonical bomb- throwing,and that an open-air meeting would be held there. This is the boldest utterance since that fateful night, and trouvle is anticipated. — The best evidence of the truth of this statement is shown in the fact that Chief of Police Hubbard to-day issucll an order holding nearly the entire city police of 1,500 men in veserve at the various stations ready to be concentrated ut any given pointon short natice.
