WASHINGTON- , July 4. [ Special Telegram
to llio Bi.i : , ] Members of the house commit
tee on ways and means have to-day assured
the BKI : concspondent that an adverse re
port will bo ordered on the Randall tariff bill
on Tuesday. Major McKlnloy , a republican
member of the committee ) , and Mr. McMillan ,
a democratic member , b-illi - said to-day that
an adverse report on the bill will be oidered.
If to , the bill will bo placed on llio calendar
wheio It will have the same- parliamentary
status as the Morrison-Hewitt bill , except
that the latter Is sustained by a report ot a
majority of the ways and means committee.
THAT TEI.IM'IIONK St IT.
Theio is a good deal of talk about tlio delay
in beginning government suit against the
Bell Telephone company at Columbus , O. ,
and many predict that It will never take
place , as government olliclals are losing their
nerve under the heavy lire of tlio press and
people. Two or thrco local newspapers ven
ture the prediction to-day that the suit will
nol be brought.
.MOIUIISON'H sritKMn.
A fcclltu Is irrowlug lu congressional
circles that some such scheme as Mr. Morrl-i
son proposes will bo adopted ono of those
days , by which the country will bo Hood oil
with money'ami the doors of national banks
made to bane. Ilo proposes to keep the sur
It plus In the treasury at not over 5100,000,000
and to call In bonds representing the Inter
est bearing debt with thoaeeumulallous from
tlmo to tlmo with all in excess of that
amount. This would at once throw some
thing like SUO,000OOJ on the countiy and de
crease the capital stocl < of national banks to
the extent of peihaps two-thirds the amount.
This of course contemplates some otho i basis
of security for national banks a cash lie'
posit or a 2 per cent bond exclusive for the
banks. It has come to the time
already when government bonds aio
nn Impracticable investment for idle money.
The piciuliiin is too great and fluctuating nnd
their liability to bo called In too constant.With
money in government bonds the Investor is
only sine of ono thing after tlio date at which
_ lhey may bo redeemed has passed ho is suic
< 4 < > f the face value.
"Undoubtedly one of thogieatest problems
lobe befoio congress during the next few
years Is the security for national banks , and
the collateral reduction of the national debt , "
feald an old financier In the senate to-day.
"Tho lime Is hero when wo must pay the debt ,
and at the same time ulfoid a moio practicable
aad an Increased manner of security lor na
tional banks. Government bonds as an in
vestment is a thing ot the past. "

"A good deal Is being soldin the picssoftho
cast about the 'democratic victory' In tlio re
cent elections in my state. " observed Sena
tor Mitchell , of Oiegon , to your correspon
dent to-day ,
"Was it a domociatlc victory ? " I asked.
"Not for a moment , " was the quick icply ;
"and no ono In Oiegon not even the most
ultra democrat contends that It is. The 10-
triibllcans elected tha legislature , both
branches of it , there being a nmloilty of
about fourteen on joint ballot , and also the
congressman , secretary of state , superinten
dent of puhl le instruction , public pi Inter , etc. ,
by majorities running up to three thousand ,
while Iheldemocratsonly elected the govemor
jStato treasurer , and tlici judge o the
' ( Supreme court , but the democrats wcro not
elected bceauso they wcro demociats.
Democracy and republican Ism weio not is
sues to the extent of permitting the demo
crats to. elect ofllccrs. 'llio Chinese question
prevailed. The governor-elect sa > t > in a let
ter I have just incolvcd , that if
Ills campaign hud hinged on icgular party
Issues d republican would have boon elected.
Ho was a loader of the anti-Chinese move
ment , and Is such now. When ho was in tlio
senate a numboi of j ears ago a mass out-door
meeting , attended by r > , OJO people , was held
ono evening. Tlio man just elected was
chairman of the meeting. Ho was a democrat
but not a politician , ami ho endorsed my posi
tion in congress on the Chinese question and
inadosiich a strong anti-Chinese speech that
ho was accepted at once us a leader of the
movement. The meeting unanimously
endorsed mo as an advocalo of absolute Chi
nese prohibition. The position of this man
was so pronounced aud advanced that the
people took him up and clecttdhim governor.
Theio Is no political victory or defeat in the
election. Jt Is simply a victory for tlio aiitl-
Chlnuso advocates. Had anybody el.so run
for eovernor on the democratic ticket ho
would have been defeated , for Oregon Is a
republican slate. The Chinese question Is
the loading one lu the politics of the Pacllic
slope , and It IssrovvlngcoiiRtantly. "

An active lobby has been at work for a
fortnight for the geological survey. It has
been the Inclination of congress to either tall
to provide for two or three of the sclcntllic
bineaua or cut them down low enough to lop
* off the sinecures they carry. The lobbyists
are nearly nil attaches of the bureau , and
their pay in their annual salary. No blanch

Minnesota is already serious , while the avor-
agoof lepoitsftom Dakota , Nebraska , Wis
consin ami Iowa Indicate that many sections
have felt the blight , and that the acrago
yield has already been considerably lessened.
Through an aaalysK of the probable crop yield
has not been attempted by the Review , ) ct a
study of the detailed icpoiis , which ha\o
covered every county lu tno northwest , dur
ing the past thrco weeksdoes not give prom
ise to exceed sixty million bushels In excess
of the hnal femes made bv the government
last year. Uotli oats and flax crops have suf-
feicd severely trom the prolonged drouth In
the northwesternstates , and tin ? prospective
yield of oais will be shoit an average yield
j er aero. Rains In Iowa , Indiana und portions

and caused some injury. In twenty-
seven counties in .Illinois , which return
lepnrts as to the actual results of the wheat

eighteen busncls. Reports fiomelc\cn coun

Cable bpecial to the BIK. : ] The olllcial ga
zette yesterday contained the new consular
tariff which goes Into effect In August. The
present tariff was established In July , 1S74 ,
and placed a consular tax of two francs on
every package of merchandise- shipped Irom
an American to a Spanish port. In October ,
1870 , a royal order substituted for-thl * pack
age tax another of 10 centa per ton. Since
that data the United Stales has continually
attempted to procure the abolition of this tax
which has been levied by the Spanish con
suls and was weighing heavily upon Ameri
can shippers. This object has finally been
attained and the now consular tariff explic
itly suppresses the objectionable tax. This

lived near by was summoned anil aided
Mr. iJarkor in cutting the dead man

Tlio Union Pacifies are playing ball
these days , and by hard , earnest work
arc rapidly making atonement for the
wretched playing with which they opened
the season. Tlie St. Joe lleds and the
Grays of Fremont , two rattling good
clubs , have been taken in by the supe
rior work of the homo tram , who even
outdid themselves yesterday in scooping
the Pickctts , one of the crack nines of tin-
Chicago cily league. The game was the
first of n series of three and attracted a
great deal of intercst.a largo crowd being
in attendance , notwithstanding the swel
tering heat of the day. The Pioketts have
a strong battery , and finer base
men have not played on
the homo grounds this season. They
failed to master Salisbury's delivery ,
however , and with all of their hard work
only succeeded in getting three men
across the homo plate. The home team
were more fortunate , and in addition to
their excellent field work , found the
leather wjth frequency and good cft'eet ,
making a total score of eleven. A
marked improvement was noticeable in
the work of the home tuain. The batting
and fielding was good throughout. The

well-mated people in the married life , and

sion ol which he handed n "glass
of wine to the brother of the biido , who
in turn handed it to his sister , who
merely pressed thoglassto her lips. The
same gl.iss was then passed to the father
of the bride , who presented it to the
groom , and from which but a sip was
taken. Tlio couple then joined hands , a
gold ring was placed o the light fore-
linger of the bride , after which the ritual ,
in English , was read b.tlio . rabbi , and the
couple were pronounced man and wife.
A second glass of wino was presented as
above mentioned , and then kisses were
exchanged by tlio bride and groom and
the father r.tid mother of the young lady.
The ceremony was followed by a boun
tiful dinner , which was laid aiul served
