Ciiicaoo, Feb. h. — According to Col
onel lire v/er of the Salvation army,
Chicago is to he made the center of a
system of social settlements similar to
that in operation In Knglund, made
famous by General William llooth of
the Salvation army. Arrangements
have been made whereby General lloolh
is to come to Chicago and personally
direct the inauguration of the
movement, lie will apply the prac
tical knowledge of such work gleaned
in the principal cities of the world to
t he establishment of a system of city
colonies, where at least temporary
work will lie offered every idle man in
tlie city, will pluee spacious tenement
bouses under the supervision of the
army, and later will extend the move
ment to form colonics within a radius
of several hundred miles from tin
city. Kvcntually the movement will
include the whole country.
The methods will Is- the same as
those employed in London. In that
metropolis the A.000 men sheltered in
one year < ost 000, but all hut SI >,
ooo of this amount was contributed by
the persons helped. It lias Is-cn esti
mated that the expense to the city for
the same work would have been ®1.

onel Hrewer stated that the first effort
would Is- to eulari/e the I’rison Gate
home, the Albemarle Food and Relief
depot and other relief institutions In
this city. Others will lie opened and
factories, where the work done will
not interfere with the product of out
side labor, will be established
"The next and most important step,"’
said Colonel brewer, "will Vie to secure
several large tracts of iuod in the
neighborhood of Chicago- As far as
possible the title of Immigration is to
tie turned backward from tin1 city to
ttic laud and the congestion in the
crowded districts relieved. On these
farms, under su|iervision of army
officers, the men will be taught to

senators into administration and anti
administration groups fill up the legis
lative gaps here. The most interesting
phase of the situation is that New
t ork sectns likely to get the cold
shoulder. A cabinet with no repre
sentative from tlie Empire state will
be un anomaly, and u marked contrast
to the consideration which lias hern
shown to the stute bv i’resideut Cleve
land. Even if New York shall lie re
of the minor portfolio*. General
Stewart I,. Woodford's name is men
tioned fur tlie position of attorney
general, but there is nothing so fur to
indicate that he is to lie selected, it
is said by the friends of Mr. McKinley
here that the factional light in New
N ork lias been so bitter as to make it
practically impossible for him to select
u Republican from that state.
While Mr. McKinley holds New York
in the balances, Senator Platt of New
York lias gone to Florida to spend a
•non tli. a considerable portion of
which time will lit? passed in the com
pany of Senator Quay. The latter's
state, Pennsylvania, is also to ha
ignored.although New York and Penn
sylvania rolled up the highest Repub

I’latt has no love for McKinley anti
Quay is in thorough sympathy witli
Platt. The conferences which will be
held in Florida will lie of interest, and
their result will he seen in the devel

lowed to leave the fashionable house
where they lived, or to see any one
who by chance should call. This man
was said to be a Mr. Richardson, uii
American millionaire from New Hamp

under the influence of a powerful drug
and in this semi-rational condition Ills
captors forced him to write checks for
large stuns of money.
An agent of the millionaire came
hero a ho ut two weeks ago to find him.
Tlie police say this agent saw tlie

SENATE LIQUOR DEBATE.
Mr. Hill Oppon*«l in Ki'iuot ing t hr N»*
loon From tli«* Capitol.
\V asiiixoton. Kelt. fi.—Tin* session of
the Senate yesterday was one of un
usual activity, with sharp collofpiles
and vigorous speeches, which drew
large crowds to the galleries. The
hall was set rolling early in Hie day
when Mr. Morrill endeavored to pass
the bill prohibiting the use of intox
icants in the < apitol building. This
aroused the opposition of Mr. Iliil of
New York, w ho denounced the busy
bodies and mischief-makers inspiring
this class of legislation. The Senator
s|Hike for the fullest enjoyment of in
dividual liberty consistent with the
common good. The speech was not
only notable for the vigor which Mr.
Hill threw into it, but also for its ef
fect in prolonging the deflate until
o'clock, when the bill was displaced by
tile Nicaragua bill.
Kegarding the sale of lhjuor in the
Capitol, Mr. Morrill said there was
'iiucii feeling throughout the country
against it. He hud just received a Id
ler stating that the writer had seen u
man coming from tin building drunk
While there was sonic misapprehen
sion as to the existence of ordinary
saloons in the building, yet. as the pub
lic felt tliut an evil existed. Congress
should make a strict proposition.
Mr. Sherman asked if it was right
that any part of this great puldic
building should be used for the sale of
Ibpior. Mr. Sherman did not believe
that the public idea tliut saloon , ex
uri r v, Mini, I mi* vvu ■s
nothing like hii ordinary bar. Hut the
laws had been made stringent so that
when a man wanted whisky lie would
have to go outside the Capital to get it.
Mr. Hill rume into the debate at tbh
point. He hud received many letters,
lief.ii<). protesting against "this abom
ination in our national Capitol." Such
statements were false. No such thing
us a bar existed here. Mr. Hill read in
sarcastic tones a letter appealing to
him to aid in driving saloons from the
Capitol ami thus "raise the standard of .
our nutionul honor."
"Has our national honor route to
this!” exclaimed Mr. Hill, "that it de
pends upon whether we take a glass of
ale or beer with our meals'.’"
This appeal to national honor, lie
added, was becoming a common device
every time some .small question pre
sented it si1 If. lint there was no ques
tion of national honor involved in tiiis
matte. "There are no saloons lierr:
there is no drunkenne ,s here; I have
never seen a drunken man in the
eapltol. i state for the benefit of
these agitators that it ii a libel on
Congress to say that saloons are here
and drunkenness exists here, it is
absolutely false.”
The disccsslon next to ik a somewhat
humorous turn. Mr. < handler, Mr.
(iallinger arid Mr. Cray exchanging
sallies ns to the effect of the bill in
restricting the personal comfort of
Senators.
The roil eali on Mr Hill s motion to
commit was followed with great inter
est. it was a tie at first, but the sum
moning of Senators defeated the mo
tion. Yeas, 77; nays. 30. As the vote
was announced, Mr Hill remarked:
"And having brought tiie hill before
the Senate. Senators can now proceed
to take a glass of beer."
Mr. Hill talked tip to 7 o'clock, when

NEW TARIFF BILL.
It Flint* Out Mexican Cattle Front This
Country McKinley ItatCN.
Wasiiinotox, FVb. •>. Yesterday't
meeting f»f t!te licpuldicuu members
of the ways and means committee was
the most important of the series, for it
resulted in the framing of the agricul
tural schedule, which was made a re
enactment of the MeKInley law with
few changes, except on unimportant,
products. The most important step
in connection with this schedule was
the establishment of rates of f.3 a head
on cattle more than one year old, and
of per cent, ad valorem on cattle
valued at more than ftiO a head. The
McKinley rates on other live stock, In
eluding the rate of *7 on cattle of one
year old or less are restored. The
Wilson rates were ‘JO |>er cent ad valo
rem tin live stock, and, while the new
duty of t.’i on cattle docs not reach the
McKinley figure of *10 on cattle more
than I year old, it is expected that
with the ad valorem on the more val
liable grades. It will prove adequate to
shut out Mexican cattle. II Is against
the Mexican stock that the Increase Is
particularly directed on the represen
tations of western cattlemen that their
business had ta-en ruined by the im
portations from Mexico under the Wil
son law', which uinountcd to more than
700,000 tn-ad
Much interest centered upon barley,
which the committee pots hack to the
MeKInley duty of .'10 cents a bushel,
because the farmers contended that
the Wilson turilT hail turned over tin
market into tint hands of the 1111111
iliatis. while tin malsters, who have
been using < aoadlan barley, have made
McKinley rates have been restored on
fruits and berries, inn inly for the hen
i tit of the fruit growers of the I’ucifie
roust. The fruit exchanges of the
country had prepared a schedule of
rates below the McKinley hill, al
though above the Wilson rates, but 4
they did not succeed in having their
schedule adopted.
Among the products in the agricul
tural schedule which are returned to
the. McKinley rates are breadstuff* and
rice, dairy products, meats and meat
products, eggs and poultry, vegetables
and salt. The demand of tin- farmers
for the McKinley rati- of <4 a ton on
bay. instead of the Wilson rate of S'.’,
was granted. Chicory is plaeed at I
rent a pound in accordance with tiie
request* of the growers in the- Central
states, who helieve they ran capture
the home market with protection.
Kates on oranges hlitre not been fixed
yet, but the committee lias decided to
change the classification arid make the
rates higher tlmii those* of the McKin
ley hill, for the benefit of the Califor
nia interests.
The committee lias eh-eided to retain
tiie Wilson rate-son wines anel spirits
throughout the wine and splt.it wheel
tiles. This se-lieelule of the- Wilson act,
te as generally higher in its rates than
in the Me-Kinle-y act.
Throughout the work the policy of
e-stablishing specific rates wherever it
was found possible to substitute- the-m
for uel valorem has been followe-el. The
iitere-sts of farmers, it is stated, have
lie-e-n partie-ularly eibse-rved in fixing
eliities for the; purpose of protection.
On tin; otlie-r liutiel. the increase- i n
manufacture-el goeiels. most e>f them,
have been on higher grades of poors
anel those- which are considered lux
