Mr sought to give a tariff twist to the discus- sion today by introducing a resolution re- citing that the whisky trust received *pro- tection” to the extent of $1.50 a proof gallon on the onhanced rates of duty on foreign spirits imposed by the McKinley bill and providing that to stop the “gross favoritism, extortion of money and adulteration and crime” promoted by the whisky trust, the same tax shall hereafter be levied on com- pound spirits as on imported alcohol.

These figures do not in- slude stocks already stored at Minneapolis, Duluth or Superior, but consist ouly of grains stored in country houses. Brad- week reports the stocks at 0,000 bushels. The aggregate stock of Miuneapolis, Duluth and Superior now is 40,900,000 bushels, and with the interior stocks added the figures are swelled to be- twoen 53,000,000 and 20,000 bushels. On February 1,180, the aggregate northwest- ern stocks ' were 25,500,000 bushels, and in 2,250,000 bushels.

EITHER THAT OR AN EXTRA SESSION Speaker Crisp Desires in Notified of the Dictator's the Premises by Don M. son - Other ot the Situation, Wasmizarox, D. C., Feb, 1 Cleveland has sent his ultimatum to the silver question. Don M Dickinson brought the ultimatum. It was that the silver purchase act must be repealed or there will be an extra session. Mr. Dickinson, always picturesque and burden ed with information for Mr. Cleveland’s inner cirele, made his appearance early in the day and left a trail of information, speculation and rumor behind him He had just come over from a conference with Mr. Cleveland and was due to ba bagk with Blfn tonight. He was on the fooft the house for hour before the session opened, and was ac much attention in view of the relation s botween him and the president-ele Mr. congress on clos ammany Mr. Dick Bourke Cockran took turns in ex- ng views with him on the silver ques- ilar clust about inson and Col and Amos Cummings each chang tion, It soon developed mission was an important to say with authority from that something must be repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law e the present session of congress ended on March 4,0r clse Mr. Cleveland would sum. mon an extra session within thirty days after his inauguration.

Mr. Crisp left the chair and went to /his private office. They were for half an hour during which Mr. ( s told that the wiping out of the .obnoxious silver purchase law was the first business to which Mr. Cleveland desired to give his attention As Mr. Dickinson left the speaker's office ho said to Tue Bee corregpondent: “You may say that either one of two_things will present congeess will repeal the silver purchase act, or an extra session will be ealled within thirty days from March 4 It is of more consequence just now than the other quesitons combined, and until it is sct tled other questions will have to wait.” Tow about Hawaii's request for annexa that Mr. Dickinson's He had come Mr. Cleveland done toward the tshould be granted.

For an hour @ together in the marble room of | the senate, Aside from Mr. Dickinson's espressed state- nd the extra session there w interesting reports con- nected w! i it. Mr. Dickinson’s talks with various congressmen, brought out the fact that the incoming administration is not only anxious to annex Hawaii, but expects to make the annexation of Canada a conspic- uous feature of the early days of the admin- istration. Expects a Resolutlon in Canada, Mr. Dickinson himself is an ardent annex- ationist and in this it is believed he voices the views of Mr. Cleveland. A member of the foreign relations commission with whom he talked, said afterward to Tne Ber e spondent: That outbreak in Hawaii re- ported last Saturday will soon be followed by a similar outbreak in Canada. I knew long ago what was abhout to occur in Hawaii and I know certain plans, which will soon matnre in Canad; I would no be surprised to see a revolution in Canada any time. I have positive knowledge that plans in that direc- tion are being made. Plans of co-operation are now being made here. Speeches for Canadia nnexation will begin in congress the early part of next week. To what extent Mr. Dickinson shared or or expressed the Canadian annexation sen- timent I do not know, although it was our- rently reported that he looked upon_the ab- sorption of Canada as one of the desirable achievements of the incoming administra- tion. Mr. Dickinson left tonight for New York where he will communicate to Mr. Cleveland the result of his conference here today. His visit gives the first tangible evidence that the Sherman silver purchase act will be wiped out at an early day, until now it has been apparent that the various bills for the repeal of the Sherman act would drag along and expire with the end of the session, but the message brought by Mr. Dickinson is little short of an ultimatum from Mr. Cleve- land that the repeal must be accomplished before March 4 or else congress will be called together immediately th fter to _accomp- lish that much desired repeal, until it is ac- complished us Mr. Dickinson says other questions will wait, Cleveland's Private Secretary, Accompauying the yvisit of Mr. Dickinson today came the report that the private sec- retaryship to Mr, Cleveland had now nar- rowed down to three gentlemen, viz: A. W, Lyman, formerly of » New York Sun and now editor of the Helena (Mont.) Independ- ent; Walter Wellman of the Chicago Herald, and Mr. Edward Fleming, editor of the Buf- falo Courier, While 1t said the president-elect nas brought the selection within these three names, he has stated that he would not designate tho choice until after he has com- pleted his cabinet selections. Mr. Cleveland stated to a gentleman who called upon him yesterday and who is in Washington tonight, that it was his intention to tender ex-Gov- ernor I. P. Gray of Indiana a place in the new cabinet. Mr. Cleveland said that he had not yet decided which portfolio he would tender the ex-governor of Indiana, but were it not for the fact that the hoosier was totally ignorant of all that relates to the farm he would ask him to be secretary of agriculture. The president-elect dicial at manner the inqui his fitnes: postmaster gen sion, how w0 the inquired about the ju- inments of ex-Governor Gray i hich led the visitor to belie y was fer the purpose of learning or the Interior department or the Iship.

The sanid Fbntleman talked wit Mr. Cloveland concdfning the recent report that Judge Gresham would go into the eabi- net. Mr. Cleveland said that he would “not insult Judge Gresham by offering him a cabi- net portfolio.” Tt would savor too much of a bargain, he safd, and he did not desire to Judge Greshamn in any such unfavor ble light As to Canndian AfMairs.
