During This Session of Congress the Maine Statesman Will Revise the Taniff, Then the Bill Bearing His Name Will Bs Enacted by Him as Treas- ury Secretary. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—Repre- sentative Dingley of Maine will be Secretary of the he next Treasury. hy position in President- ey’s Cezbinet can be settled s before the officiat an- cement 1s m Mr. Dingley knows t he is Mr. McKinley’s choicy for the portfolio, and he has even con- one or two intimate friends that 4th of next March he will not Coagress in his old distrct. fr. McKinley Mr. Dingley is the entof the tariff in American tics. The new tariff bill will be {ramed m as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the present Congress, i administered by him as Secretary of ‘Treasury. ere isa rumor current to-night that Mr. Dingley will endeavor to frame the new tariff billin time to wvass it through the present House. Certain it is that it is the intention of the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee to push the work of preparing the measure with the utmost dispatch. The time which will be de- voted to hearings of manufacturers and ingmen will be limited and will cer- tainly not extena beyond the middle of January. Every member of the present and Means Committee has been in for years, and has attended these so often that they are perfectly r with the details. 1f possible, the will be drawn up, it is said, in time to s pass it at this session, after reasonable debate, Mr. Reed, it is understood, is in accord with Mr. Dingley’s hope. It is known that the Speaker is not anxious for an extra session and would ne to prevent one. If the bill passes House and dies in the Senate, then n that body will rest the responsibility extra session. iends of Mr. Dingley will esrnestly t him if he determines to under- 1e passage of a tariff bill at this ses- Dingley will frame the bill, and it wiil be the “Dingley” tariff bill would be manifestly unjust, they say, after Mr. Dingley has had all the labor ration, he bill should be other man’s name.

By pass- is session it will be known s the Dingley bill, even if neglect ate to act upon it would compel y’s successor as chairman of nd Means Committee in the who will probably be 1, to reintroduce the measure yngress meets in extra session. It is reported that Speaker Reed will lend ry aid to Mr. Dingley’s ambition. Within the past few days sevéral mem- bers who asked him privately if their presence was needed at the session, w:en ne business was contemplated, in positive ‘terms that the e r expected every man to be present, as he mignt be neeced. —_———— MAY YET ACCEPT. told HANNA And New TYorkers Likely to Get Two FPlaces in the Cabinet, CANTON, Omnro, Dec. 13.—After a week of great activity Major McKinley enjoyed a restful morning. He walked to church in the morning and later called at his mother’s, where'he remained to dine. will be a number of visitors of wide reputation this week and among tbem will be Mr. Hanna. It is believed that he bas made up his mind to go into the Cabi if a place is offered him, as it doubtless will be. There is no probability, bowever, that the two most important places in the Cabinet, the pivotal places, as it were, that of Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury, will be filled by che miadle of January ley is giving the problems which confront him due consideration and he will not per- mit hin 1f to be hurried. The w York situation is the most complicated one, and it may be solvad by the selection of two Cabinet officers from that State—one a man to whom Platt is friendly ard one particularly acceptable to the original McKinley men. C. N. B Arvdrew D. White, Horace Porter, stewart L. Woodford and J. 8. Fassett are the names most frequently heard here when the New York situation is under consideration. One thing is certain, and that is that no one in New York State has yet been offered a Cabinet portfolio. - Can- didates for other than Cabinet places are beginning to manifest themselves in Can- ton. William M. Hahn of Onio is an active candidate for the important posi- tion of Commissioner of Pensions. Visitors to Canton who have talked with Major McKinley about tariff legislation indicate that he is notin favor of an ex- treme measure of any sort, and that he impressed upon those Congressmen with whom he discussed the matter the idea that no bill will do that shall not be so fair, so thorough and so adequate that with a little revision from time to tims it will stand for ten or twelve years and give the country an era of prosperity and freedom from tariff agitations.

ES AR AT MRS. BRYAN'S REQUEST. The Woman’s Bryan Club of St. Louis Changes Its Name. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 13.—The Woman's Bryan Club of thiscity met yesterday and reorganized as the Women’s Political League, the change in name being at the request of Mrs. Bryan. A letter from her was read. Following is an extract from it: “In behalf of Mr. Bryan and myself I wish to thank you most heartily for the greeting sent us by your organization. We have not feit dismayed nor dish-artened by defeat, for, with an adverse Congress, the cause is much better without a Presi- | dent than witn one. I think there will be a movement put on foot for & permanent | organization of the women’s suver clubs { throughout the country, in which move- | meut I have no doubt you are taking a deep interest. It seems to me the right thing to do, as we can then keep con- stantly informed as to the laws made by the administration during the next four vears and also will be able to note the growth and strengthot the trusts and corporations of our country and thus keep he people alive to the dangers that hreaten our institutions.” i -~ (lereland Goes Gunning. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. '13.—Presi- | dent Clevelund started off on another duck shootinz expedition this evening. Thistime ne will be the guest of the An- nandale Club on its preserves in South | Carotina. The journey to Georgetown, S. C., will be made by railway, and the Pres- ident will reach there some time to-mor- | Tow, proceeding thence in a lighthouse tendar to the ciubhouse on Wingah Bay. Mr. Cleveland was accompanied by his old sporting companions, Captain Robley Evans of the navy; Captain 8. R. Robert O’Reill army surgeon and tne Washington physician of the Cleveland family. Several years ago the President visited Annandale Club. On his ar- rival at Georgetown he was given a pub- lic reception, but this time he will avoid a rep-tition of that honor. The party will | return about the end of the weelk. CiEEs Teller Meots Jones. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—Sena- tor Teller reached Washington yesterday. | For an bour he was closeted with Chair- | man Jones of the National Democratic National Committee and Senator Dubois of Iduho. After the conference Mr. Teller | intimated that they had met in a social | way only, 1t being” the first time they had | met each other since the election, Sena- | tor Teller stated that if he had been here he should have declined to go into the Republican caucas this week, as did his silver collea:ues who left the St. Louis | convention. W hat policy he should pur- | suein tne future he declined to say. So far as the tariff was concerned Mr. Teiler said he bad his own views and would vote, when the ime came, as he thought best | for the interests of his constituents. 1 e Sges Dropped From the Rolls. OMAHA, NEgsBr., Dec. 13.—The aristo- cratic organization of Omaha, the Jack- sonian Club, last night dropped irom the | rolls all Democrats who refused to support Bryan in the recent campaign. The list includes all prominent Federal office- holders in Nebraska. Omaha’s Postmas- ter, Euclid Martin, heads 1he list.

CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa, Dec. 13.—Sen- ‘ntur William E. Chandler has made the tollowing reply to questions addressed to | him by a citizen of Marion touching his | position on the siiver question: *“Of course the ultimate question is whether silver shall be money of final res demption, the same as gold, or whether it is to be an inferior money redeemable in gold. The various expedients for an en- | largea use of silver simply tend to keep the price up for the time being, but do not | necessarily aid in remonetizing silver— that is to say, in making it money as good, goid. 1 hope this last result may be accomplished svoner or later.”” Ireland’s Excessive Tawxes. CORK, Ireraxp, Dec. 13.—A meeting was held here to-day to protest against | the excessive taxation imposed on Ireland by the British Government as compared | with the taxation in England, Scotland and Wales. .Lord Castleton of Upper Ossory made a speech, in which he de- { nounced the obstinacy of the British Treasury in refusing to right the grievance | of the Irish in respect to the matter of | taxation. He added ihat he hoped his- tory might not repeat itself and that peo- ple of Cork foliow the example set by Efm- | ton in 1773, when indignant residents of that place threw a quantity oi tea into the harbor as a protest against the tax of 3 pence per pound imposed on that article by the British Parjiament. This utter- ance called forth cheers from the audi- | ence. ol Tobacco Shipped as Lobsters. | ST. JOHNS, N.

Made and Passed Large Num- bers of Spurious Quarters and Nickels. An Aged Coupe and Their Son Who Led Agent Harris a Lively Chase, STOCKTON, Car., Dec. 13.—One of the most important captures of counterfeiters in recent years was cffected in this city last nieht, when Police Captain Simpson ana Officer Mike Carroll arrested W. A. Karns in a lodging-house here. The cap- ture breaks up a gang of counterfeiters which has had headquarters in San Fran- cisco and Sacramento ana which recently came to Stockton to work off a supply ot spurious coin. For some time Secret Service Agent Harris has been on the trail of three counterfeiters—an elderly man, a woman and a youth—who have been dis- posing of quantities of counterfeit quar- ters and nicgels, So cleverly bave the three evaded capture that Harris’ work would probably have proved futile had it not been for their own carelessness, the vigilance of Sheriff Cunningbam and the rrompt action of Chief Kingsoury and his officers. Karns, his son Bauny and tha woman have been operating on this coast for many months. Their counterfeit quarters and nickeis have been so well made that it has been comparatively easy for them | to pass the coins turned out from their | molds. It became known to Harris that bogus coins were beirg circulated iu con- siderable quantities. He found that the trio had headquarters on Market street in San Francisco ana in Sacramento, but be- | fore e could get certain evidence against them they disappeared. Several days ago the landladv of the lodging-house in which the counterfeiters lodged when they arrived in this city came to Sheriff Cunningham with some quarters and nickels which she had swept up from beneath the beds of her lodgers. | They were unquestionably counterfeits, for they were not finished, the edges not having the facsimile of the mill work on them completed. Cunningham at once knew that a gang of counterfeiters was at work here and he telegraphed to Secret Service Agent Harris to come to Stockton immediately. The Government official was not tardy in coming and secured a room next to that occupied by Karns and his son. During the night he heard the chink of the coins they were turning out, but he did not dare to break in upon them and seize the outfit, as in a receut case the court decided that he made an illegal seiz- ure by not having a search warrant issued by the proper United Siates authorities. | The next morning such a warrant was is- sued by United States Court Commis- sioner Webster, but before an arrest could be made Karns and his son disappeared. A watch was kept upon their rooms, but they did not return. Harris went back to San Francisco, leaving the affair in the hands of the au- thorities here. The room was watched, and last night W. A, Karns returned. He was at once arrested by Captain Simpson and Officer Carroll and the entire outfit in his room seized. At first he seemed much surprised, but finally took his arrest| philosophically and told the officers where he bad been. He said he had been at Oakdale, and that he walked from that place to Stockton yesterday, a distance of over thirty miles. Constable Crow at Oakdale was instructed to look for young Karns, and this morning a telegram came notitying the Sheriff of his arrast. Harris was notified by wire last nizht of the arrest of the elder Karns and arnived to-day. He was anxious to have the news of the cavture of the father and son sup- | pressed in order to capture the woman, who is supposed to have zone to Sacra- mento. The elder Karns is fally 55 yearsold. There js little doubt that he will plead guilty to the charge of counterfeiting. In #his trunk were found spoons and metals for making the spurious coins, but the dies and molds were not captured. Harris believes that the woman not only assisted in passing the bogus money, but that she belped in making it. While here Karns | and his son went under the name of Pres- ton. ‘When Karns was arrested he endeav- ored on a pretext to get out ot the room in which the officers were., At this juncture | Sheriff Canningnam came in and asked if the man had been searched. Simpson and Carroll started to search him, Karns tuok a handful of nickels from his pocket and tried to hide them in the bed beside which he was standinz. The officers de- tected himn and :ecured a quantity of the pogus 5-cent pieces, which will be used as evidence against h B e el BURGLARS LOOT A PAWNSHAP. Carry Away Everything of WValue That They Found Stored in the Place. STOCKTON, CaL, Dec. 13.—One of the boldest robberies that have taken place in years was committed at an early hour this morning when the pawnbroker's shop of H. Jacobs was entered and ransacked by two burglars. The men effected an en- trance through a trapdoor in the sidewalk, and after they were once in the busement they had no difficulty in gaining an en- trance to the store. They had a brace and bit with them, and by boring through the wooden partition above the entrance from the basement soon forced out a piece suffi- ciently large to enable them to enter the store. After getunz into the pawnbroker's shop, which is just across the plaza from the courthouse in which the police sta- sion is located, the men had everything theirown way. They seem to have had no fear of detection, for they took off every bit of their clothing and dressed themselves from head to foot in garments found about the store. Thueir old clothes were left on the floor, together with their hats and shoes, and from these the officers hope to be able to overhaul the thieves. 5 After thus bnrgilnr- took all the watches, jewelry, irinkets, revolvers and ihe best ciothing in the place, and with these packed in valises mude good their escape. Nothing was known of the robbery until | Jacobs opened his shop this morning. He found that the p.ace bad "been stripped of everything of value. Not a single articie clothing themselves the that was worth anything had been left. On the floor was the clothing of :heJ thieves, with the tools they used in break- ing into the place. 1he clothing indi- L FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1896. 3 NEW TO-DAY—CLOTEING.

WANTED AT ANGELS CAMP. Stockton Officers Searching for a Man Who Stole a Horse. STOCKTON, CAL., Dec. 13.—Sheriff Cun- ningham was notitied to-night by the au- thorities at Angels Camp to be on the lookout for a horsethief, who was sup- posed to be coming this way with a horse and cart that he had puarloined early this morning from a resident of the mining town.

His name is not known to the officars, but the thief is described as being avout 30 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches in height and_weighing between 150 and 160 pounds.
