plated by Republicans.

.Argument Is Made That Burden
.Should Be Removed From This
} Country Before Other Considers-
\ tlons Relief for Cuba Must Walt.
WunhluRtou , Juu. 30.The Ropubllc-
ia monibom of tlm wayn nnd moans
vonirulttoo lurid ix private conference
k\Bt night nnd decided to frame a bill
Tor the reduction of war revenue taxes
before proceeding further with the
subject ot Cuban reciprocity. Chair-
3BUVU Payne at onoo called a mooting of
the full committee for today , when
work on the war revenue reduction
bill will begin. No draft of a bill nan
boon prepared by the Republican mem
f bers , but it In pretty fully understood
} : Clint the majority la prepared to pros-
lit'1) ' ) cut a monsuro olfoctliiK a largo reduc
tion , amounting practically to n roponl
of the eutlro war taxes , nnd aggregat
ing nbout $ C8,000,000. The restriction
of recent hcnrlngs to beer nnd tea led
to the belief that reductions might
bo confined to those two articles , but
the sentiment of the majority now ap
pears to bo favorable to a much larger
reduction. At the conference yester
day It was the prevailing view that nn
Cuba was the cause for Incurring the
war revenue taxes , the burden should
bo removed from this country before
considering the extent of relief to bo
crantcd to Cuba. ' The question of
xvhnt percentage of reduction In tariff
rates could bo mndo for Cuba wns not
considered nt the mooting last night ,
owing to the determination to leave
tills until after tlio war revenue roduc-
4JoiiB had been accomplished.

Propriety of Court's Passing Upon
Point of Who Was In Command
During the Battle of Santiago , .
Washington , Jan. 30. The nary de
partment has Binds public Admiral
Schley'fl appeal , delivered to the presi
dent about n week ago. The depart

to the president aa the chief oxocuttre
and commandor-ln-crtiof of the army
nnd navy , vested with power to "rogu-
late and direct the acts of the several
executive officers thereof , " and he
asks that the president review the
findings of the court. Ho aaks thin
on three grounds , in each case basing
his appeal on. the findings of Admiral
Dewey as opposed to the majority re
port. Those three grounds are set out
in the petition , which fills about eight
printed pages of a pamphlet , and * Is
signed by Admiral Schloy and by
Messrs. Rayner , Parker and Teague
of Ills counsel. Attached to the peti
tion are three exhibits , each made up
of copious extracts from the testimony
taken by the court of Inquiry and In
tended to confirm the statements of
fact made In the petition itself.
A strong plea is made for the right
and propriety of the court passing upon
the point of who was In command
during the battle of Santiago. On this
point the petition says :
"Therefore , the petitioner asks the
president to annul Secretary Long's
endorsement on this point and that ho
specifically approve Admiral Dowcy's
statement declaring that Schloy was
In command. Ho says that only In
this way can exact justice be done him
under the precept. "

Why ToiiixkVnn Ignored.
A correspondent of nn English paper
tells why the great Trnnsslberinn mil-
vray does not run through Tomsk , the
capital. "How much will you give , us
If we bring the line pnst Tomsk ? " ask
ed the surveyors and engineers who
nmppuil the route. "Nothing ! " replied
Tomsk. "We are the capital of Siberia ,
and you can't avoid coming here. " "Oh ,
can't we ? " replied the route finders.
"If you don't produce so ninny thou
sand rubles , there will be insurmount
able engineering difficulties that will
prevent t s coming within a long way ,
of Tomsk. " These engineering difficul
ties were discovered , and so the Trans-
Siberian railway sweeps along flfty
miles to the south of Tomsk , and a
branch line bad to be made.

The I3itra Home. "
A lover of horses recently noticed a
custom In France which he thinks ,
ought to be adopted In this country.
On every street In Franco which has
n steep grnde there is stationed an "ex-
trn horse. " The Inw compels draymen
nnd others to make use of this horse
until the summit of the hill Is reached ,
nnd there Is a henvy fine for refusing
Jo hire the extrn horse nt a sinnll fixed
rate. Placards by the roadside indl-
c-ate the point where the extrn liorso
should be taken on and also where he-
mny be dispensed with.
