WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 10. )
The tariff bill will bo taken up in the house
to-morrow nt B o'clock , when Mr. Mills will
make tlio opening speech. He ha * been pre
paring n long nnd Inhered argument in favor
of the measure. Judge Kelly will follow
lilm on the Iloor , nnd there will bo one or two
other speeches by members of the co.mmlttce
on ways and means , nftcr which the general
discussion will begin by members of the
house. The speaker has now on his list the
names of fifty-five gentlemen who would llko
to discuss the bill , but many of them will
hnvo to bo contented with printing their
arguments.
I find that the canvass of the democratic
members is entirely wrong , ns fnr ns the re
publican members of the house nro concerned.
Mr. Payson of Illinois , who is counted ns n
supporter of the Mills bill , said to-day that
the announcement thnt ho would support It
wns n great surprise to him , nnd ho
would llko to hnvo It given n wldo nnd posi
tive contradiction. "Why , " Mr. Payson
says , "I nm utterly opposed to the Mills bill.
I nm In fnvor of an enlargement of the free
list so as to Include n substantial reduction ,
If not nn entire nbrogation , of the duty on
sugar , with n provision that , It shall not apply
to countries who charge an export tax on
that article , nnd I will vote In favor of free
lumber nnd salt , although I regard the latter
as a more matter of sentiment because the
nrtlclo Is so cheap. But I will use every in
fluence that I can exert to defeat the Mills
bill as It stands. I recognize the necessity of
D substantial reduction of the tariff and of
the present immense surplus. The latter evil
can bo cured by the Immediate redemption
of outstanding bonds nnd the former
by Intelligent tariff amendments , rather than
the revision contemplated by this bill. I
hold , however , thnt the amendment should
bo made by these who are friendly to the sys
tem of protection rather than these who nro
opposed to It. "
"Do you think the Mills bill will pass ! "
"I do not. "
"Do you think any tariff bill will pass ? " t
"I do not know , but if nny should pass it
will bo bo a , bill mndo by the house rather
than by the ways nnd means committee. "
Till ! MINNESOTA lir.MIlEItS.
Mr. Nelson of Minnesota , tells mo that ho
is not entirely in favor of the Mills bill.
There nro some features in the bill that ho
does not like , nnd will oppose any bill that
contains them. Some pcopjo of his state de-
innnd n reduction of the revenue und want
several articles placed upon the free list and
the duty ui > on others reduced. In this , Mr ,
Nelson says , ho sympathizes with them „ en
tirely , but ho does not approve of the Mills
, bill as it stands.
Mr. Llnd of Minnesota , Is also opposed to
the bill ns reported , particularly that part of
it which relates to the internal revenue. Ho
says that ho hopes to got a chnnco to vote for
tariff reduction at this session , nnd there are
many things in the Mills bill ho approves of ,
but ns n whole ho does not like it ,
\\OKK OV NlillllAbKA'S J11.MHEUS.
In the Bonato to-dny Mr. Mnmlcrson pre
sented n hirgo number of petitions from No-
brnskn , praying that these features of the
internal revenue laws which classify drug
gists or liquor derlcrs bo repealed. Ho also
introduced a bill 16 pension Mrs. M. Ord of
Nebraska. Both the Nebraska senators hnvo
received and presented several petitions
Intoly sent by their constituents nsking for
the better protection of the national park.
In the hoiisa Mr. Dorsoy introduced a du-
pllcnto of the bill recently presented by Sen-
ntor Mnnderson to protect purchasers of
lands withdrawn by the executive depart
ment ns lying within tholimitsotland grants
to aid in tlio construction of railroads , as In
demnity lumls.
Mr. Dorsoy made money for some time im
mediately prior to the assembly of the house
to-day. Ho sat nt his desk on the floor nnd
put his signature to a now issue of circulat
ing notes fur the national bank of which ho
Is president. Ho had n Inrgo pile of the bills
on his desk nnd his work attracted a crowd
of members drawn either by their curiosity
or to jibe him. There are n score of national
bank presidents in the membership of the
house nnd tlio work Mr. Dorsoy was engaged
in to-dny was not of nn unusuul character for
members of congress.
011AY SAIII TO 11C TUB NEXT CIIIKP JUSTICE.
The opinion is growing thnt Scnntor Grny
will bo nppointcd chief justice of the United
States. All of the democratic senators
think so , and two members of the supreme
court to-day told mo that the symptoms were
such as to convince them thnt Mr , Gray wns
the most favorably considered candidate ,
oven though his immo may not have been do-
clued upon. Nearly all of the other candi
dates hnvo dropped out of the field. The
president told some gentlemen to-day the
Wan who will bo appointed will go to the
licnd of the bench , ns ho did not propose to
promote nny of the associate Justices. There
was some tnllc about Melville W. Fuller
nround the hotels to-dny , nnd it was reported
that ho hnd been sent for by the president to
, coma to Washington , but I could find no
foundation for the story. Representatives
Townshond nnd Luudes hnvo both revolved
loiters from Judge Schoftold nsking that his
.immo bo withdrawn , ns ho would notncccpt
the appointment oven If It were tendered to
lim | , for family reasons.

which shall nt once yield the United Stntes
nn Insured income on its investment nnd also
.secure the pcoplo tigainst the abuses of dis
criminations , pools and monopolies which
prevail nt present. For this purpose it en-
nets the government shall purchase first the

brought out largo numbers of expressions
from the papers of the coast. The Chronicle ,

Every offense which has bucn charged

It urges Stnnford's iricnds to persuade him

Condition.
New Yoiuc , April 10. In the official bulle
tin issued at 8 this morning , it Is stated that
there was no material change in Conkling's
condition , nnd his pulse and temperature
were about the same. The patient slept for
four hours during the night , and was still
asleep at 8 o'clock.
About 10 this morning Dr. Barker an
nounced that Colliding Had passed a very
cpnifortablo night. The physician now
places Conkling's chances of recovery as ono
in five. Ho says Colliding is quite strong ,
comparatively speaking-owing to the amount
of nourishment ho lias been taking.
Conkling's condition was unchanged at 1
o'clock this afternoon.
Dr. Barker called about Oo'cloek , but only
remained a few minutes. Ho said : "Mr.
Colliding is greatly Improved , nnd his chances
for recovery are greatly increased. "
When asked if the critical point had been
reached ho said : "No.tiot yet. "
To-night was the first time ho had lakcn n
glass of milk in his own hand. He took
twenty-seven ounces of nourishment since
the afternoon visit of the doctor.
Alderman Conkling loft the house soon
after Dr. Barker. He seems much more
hopeful and told n reporter ho now thought
Ills unelo would recover.

LONDON , April 14. [ New York Herald
Cable-Special to 'tho BEB.-M. | Blowllz
In the Times , writing from Paris and repent
ing.ML interview With General Boulnnger ,
adds :
' 'Louis Napoleon talked exactly In this
strain from 1843 to 1851. He , too , wished
only to bo president of the republic , but
when president ho ifindo himself an emperor
and n president , Bbulnngcr might become a
Gcorgu the 1. Madness cannot bo reasoned
with. The causes of his success defy analy
sis ; it cannot bo explained or combatted.
Universal suffrages has its freaks and to try
and stem them it is hopeless. General Boul
anger and his setcllltcs , have invented noth
ing ; they simply imitate precedents , and uni
versal suffrage was nothing clso. They de
mand , like Louis , 'Napolcon , revision and
dissolution. They arc ready , Ilka him and
his abettors , to risk everything. There is
still the alliance of anarchists and absolutists ,
and Just as Loul Napoleon said , the empire
was In peace , so General Boulangor says ho
desires n peaceful regeneration of the coun
try. The whole game has been played bo-
boforc , but the only thing still incomprehen-
blo is how it can lead to General
Goulongor's dictations. If the national
guard existed it would bo easy enough , for
that body [ always aided revolt , but as
matters stand the general would not find a
single regiment to follow him. Moreover ,
the day when a French regiment would bo
capable of making a prouucinmento In favor
of a man who no longer belongs to It , would
bo that of the fall of Franco in 1852. The
troops shouted ' \rivo , L'Empcreur , ' but the
empire was virtually in existence. At pres
ent it would bo a military revolt against es
tablished power. This Irreparable misfor
tune is yet to fall 004 Franco. "Without the
national gnard , without the army , without
the government is it not Impossible to explain -
plain how General Boulangor is to attain supreme
premo power in the position ho has decided
on and wishes to claim.
"Hut there is always a chance to bo taken
into account. It is certain that the general
will not bo opposed by the police. M. Floquct
is not hostile to him ; neither is M. Goblet ;
no one expects resistance from M. do Frey-
cinct , and M. Camellias supplied no means
of resistance. In thimvay it might happen
that an cmcuto without the nation would suc-x
cccd. Assume that after this election in"
Nerd 20,000 idlers and reckless people , who
arc always in Paris ready for a tumult , were
to inarch to the Elysco shouting 'Vivo Bou-
langerl' Alas , Carnet , what would happen ?
Neither M. Floquotpor Ml Goblet , friendsof
General Boulanger , would , resist. As
for M. /Froycinet , ho would
lose no time in appointing the general to bo
the head of hjs staff , a place which , in
consequence of the refusal of it by General
Warnet , has remained vacant ; there would
then bo a complete change , for General Bou-
langer would become the head of the army ,
which would obey him as its chiof. If , on
the other hand , General Savassier receives
directions to maintain order , the demonstra
tion would break down and the future dicta
tor would sustain an Important moral defeat.
In the absence of such a step or something of
the kind , I can 's o nothing but very slow
means to bo employed , the final success of
which wouTil bo doubtful.
"Tho Boulangist microbe has now reached
'such a state of development that that some
prompt and decisive measure must bo taken
cither for or against It. The present situation
cannot continue much longer. Unfortunately
for General Boulanger , and fortunately for
France , the dictator candidate has not Paris
with him. Twenty thousand rioters are but
an insignificant minority , even among revo
lutions. Boulnnglsm cannot mnko a revolu
tion , for the artisans are against rather than
for the general. Whatever agitations , elec
tions , uprisals and resignations occur , neither
the chamber nor the sonata will agree to de

General Boulanger to turn them outof doors.
Even now ho is nobody's man just because
ho wants to bo everybody's , and ho has no
majority in cither house. Failing in this ho
has nothing. Ho will never have such a
majority in the present chamber. The
place hunters are witli him , but those
there already will resist him. If the
conservatives are really the honest men they
have been taken for they will Join In ward
ing oft the danger and in preventing the In
evitable disasters following a supremacy
which would bo regarded as n premeditated
challenge against the peace of Europe.
Franco knows what she risks in proclaiming
such a man , and this is Just why all cool ob
servers are persuaded nho will open her eyes
in time instead of deliberately plunging into
the abyss , According to M. Joflln , the so
cialist's municipal councellor who went down
to oppose General Boulnnger , the peasants
are led to behove that ho is a natural son of
the first Napoleon by a Hubslan princess.

PARIS , April 10. [ Special Cablegram to

to-day , denounced General Boulanger us a
mutinous soldier. Ho admitted that the
chamber of deputies had abused its power in
order to incite a 'ministerial crisis , but in
defending the senate ho said the Boulanger
crisis proved that direct suffrage was not
infallible , and showed the danger of a single
assembly and the necessity of the senate.
The existing situation was a plagiarism of
the second of December , Ho perfectly
recognized again the hypocritical , equivocal
and threatening formulas of that period. Ho
would support the Floquct cabinet , and ho
called upon It to assume an active militant
attitude toward Boulangism and to concen
trate republicans against the plcblscltary

THE EMPEHOll AVOKSE.
Alarming Developments Yesterday In
the Condition of Ilia Throat ,
tCopi/rfflftt JKSB by Jama Gorton lennctt.\ \
BCIILIN , April 10. [ Now York Herald.
Cable Special to the BEE. ] Many American
medicals understand how too many cooks
spoil the broth. The emperor Is suffering
now from conflicting doctors. 1 am reminded
to-day of the time when President Qarflcld
was under treatment Now , as then , the
press discuss the "case freely. Between the
German physicians and consulting Sir Morrcll
Mackenzie , the situation is n trying one ,
notwithstanding his birthday gifts Included
a gold bowl formed of all the gold coins of
the reign of Frederick the Great. The seven
doctors , including .Prof. Sonaor , the cele
brated surgeon of Augusta hospital , who con
sulted twice to-day and meet again ut 11 to
morrow morning , however agreed the bron
chitis Is limited and no trace yet that pneu
monia will' supervene and add fresh
complication's. .His apprehensions are duo to
continuous high temperature , higher than
can bo accounted for solely by the prcscneo
of bronchitis , while the local condition
detected as yet do not in them
selves suffice to account for the
high temperature. The fact prevails
that something exist which at the present is
nol possible to ascertain. At the evening
consultation ho thought the hjgh itcmpera-
turo which prevails may buduo to the forma
tion of an abscess which from time to tltno
empties into the tracchca and again closes.
It is now 11 p. in. , and I hear the adult
members of the imperial family are as
sembled at Charlottcnburg castle and will
remain there nil to-night. All
about the palace wear serious faces.
Prince Bismarck arrived nt Cknrlottcnburg
at 11 n. m. Ho did not drive up to the main
entrance , but passed through one wing to the
emperor's room , where ho remained some
time , Joined by the crown prince , who had
been attending to his military duties all
mSrnin'g , and who came direct as soon ns
parade was dismissed and spent a long itno
at bis father's bedside. The empress , Au
gusta , who had boon prepared for the bad
news by Prof. Van Vorgnan yesterday , also
drove otit to Charlottenburg. Under the cir
cumstance's it is probable Queen Victoria
Will not visit Berlin.
The Emperor's Condition.
Bnm.iN , April 10. The doctors In at-
tcndanco upon Emperor Frederick held
a consultation to-dny and decided
that bronchitis was limited and that no
pneumonia was present. Dr. Mackenzie
fears that pneumonia will set in in consequence
quence of the emperor's continued high tem
perature.
At 05 : ! ! the emperor's condition was the
same the fever had not abated. Prince
Henry , his son , arrived from AVnlhclmshafcn
early this morning. All of the family of the
emperor are now assembled at Charlottcn-
bui'g. The crown prince qnd Bismarck had
n long conference with' the emperor this
afiernooii.
7:15 : p.m. The emperor is now in a high
state of fever , and thorc is no improvement
in his other symptoms.
Bunr.iN , April 10 , 8:15 : p. m. The emperor
is very weak and it is reported inflammation
of the lungs has set in. Toward evening ho
fell nslcop.
At an evening conference of the doctors
concerning the emperor , it was found the
fever and bronchitis were unchanged. It is
undeniable that Dr. Mackenzie this morning
believed the emperor's end was approaching.
The empress urgently summoned the mem
bers of the family to hasten to the castlo.
The Crown Prince William galloped from
Berlin and arrived first. He was soon fol
lowed by the Empress Augusta and others.
Prince Bismarck was at the bedside an hour
after receiving the summons. There is a
marked discharge of bloody mucus from the
emperor's ' throat , uud the swelling Is pro
gressing downward. Prince Bismarck , ac
companied by the minister of Justice , had
another interview with the emperor this
evening , when his majesty signed an order
appointing the crown prince to net as his
representative.
Better reports have been received from
Charlottenburg. The emperor left his bed
and sat for awhile in an arm chair , and
about 4 o'clock showed himself at the window
of the room. The crown prince remains at
Charlottcnburg for the present.
At midnight all the members of the Im
perial family wore summoned to the em
peror's bed aide. The worst is feared.
MATTHEW AUXOLD DEAD.
The Noted English 1'oefc mid Scholar
r\llrcH Very Suddenly.
Livinirooi , , April 10 , [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BIE : , ] The sensation
hero to-day Is the death of Matthew Arnold.
It seems ho loft London Saturday morning
to meet his daughter , who had wired from
the AuranlantQuceiiRtown , His bister , Mrs.
Cropper , the favorite daughter of the Uugby
Dr. Arnold , and her husband reside In a
charming suburban residence called "Tho
Dingle , " whither the poet went on arrival ,
The evening was one of the first spring ones
of the season and there was a bright now
moon , which , after an excellent supper , at
tracted the party out doors for a walk. There
was a sprightly conversation , in which refer
ence was made to certain criticisms about
Mr. Arnold's pupcr on America In the Re
view , and especially wherein ho was twitted
with ageing. To show his exhuberancc
ho proposed to Jump a low railing near Mr ,
Cropper's house. Failing at several attempts
ho was determined to limp it eventually , and
did so like a light-hearted boy. No ill re
sults appeared , but Sir Andrew Clark had
warned him against sudden exertion.
Ho slept well and breakfasted well Sunday
morning along with Mr. and Mrs. Cropper
and Mrs. Arnold , who was a daughter of the
late Justice AVelghlmnn. Ho attended ser
vice at a Presbyterian church , expressing
the pleasure which the discourse had given
him , At luncheon ho was playful and happy ,
and after it ended Mr. Arnold walked out
with his wife. Ho had not gene far along
Dingle lane when suddenly ho foil forward
and never spoke again. The occurrence took
place immediately near the house of Dr.
Little. Ho was at once carried there , but
life was extinct before ho rras taken in the
house. Two hours afterwards his daughter
arrived and was met at the landing
by rJtr uncle , who discreetly broke the
sad news. She and Mrs. Arnold bear the
stroke well. It hnd long been feared. Ills
father died ns suddenly of anzlnn ncctoris.

LONDON , April 10. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BF.R. ] All the Lon
don evening and morning papers have
editorials on Matthew Arnold. Perhaps the
best paragraph of the many Is this fromi the
St. James Gazette ! "Ho was an exponent
of the gospel , of these two most excellent
things , 'Sweetness ' nnd Light,1 and none can
deny that ho practiced It with rare persua
siveness , fidelity nnd power to a generation
not much disposed nt first to heed the
message. Thin lesson Mr , Arnold
spent n largo part of his llfo
in impressing directly by his didactic
essays nnd directly by his poetry nnd
criticism ujwn British Philistinism. We'll not
nay that the British Philistine la dead , but at
least ho is ashamed. Matthew Arnold's
ropier found Its way through his tough hldo
and caused unexpected qualms nnd prickings
In his gross Interior , from which ho has not
recovered. So humble are the sons and to
abashed the daughters of Phlllstla Just now ,
that the younger generation may find it dlfll-
cult to bcllovn there was ever any great oc
casion to assail them with arrow * of raillery
reasoning and satire , but let them qucstlqn
their ciders as to the tone of middle class
society In England not very many years ngo ,
and they will discover what Mr. Arnold's
work has been. "
Gladstone Foretells Victory.
LONDON. April 10. [ Socclal Cablegram to
the BEE. ] A brilliant reception was given
by Lady Sandhurst this evening. Gladstone ,
Morley , Husscll , McCarthy , and many other
noted liberals were present. Gladstone de
livered an address on the history of the last
fifty years. It was , ho said , a history of pro
gress. Moreover , It was simply a history of
liberalism. They hud progressed greatly
since the general election , although at a dis
advantage , owing to the secession of the
unionists who had great social Influence.
But In his opinion the unionists were the
greatest enemies of the union , and ho did not
blame the nationalists for co-operating
together. In conclusion , ho said the pros
pects were hopeful in the extreme , and ho
advocated energy , as triumph was certain in
the end.

ROME , April 10. [ Special Cablegram to

MORE ABOUT ItEOEU'EU SCOTT.
Evidence of an Attempt to Swindle n
Nebraska Man.
OnniaiN , Kan. , April 10. [ Special Tele
gram to the Ben. ] The Bni : is highly com
mended for its Influence in exposing the cor
ruption of 'Cully Scott , receiver of the land
office hero , and now that tlio people arc as
sured that this man Scott's record will bo
shown to the world its correspondent can get
all the information ho wants.
Another steal , in which a most worthy cit
izen of Nebraska , Judge Thomas , of Falls
City , is the victim , was made known this
morning. Judge Thomas has n timber claim
in Sherman comity , upon which ho lias met
ajl the requirements of law. One
of Scott's most pliant tools started
a contest on this land , alleging
want of cultivation with the evident object
of securing service by publication , and Judg
ment by default. Judge Thomas being in
formed by a friend made defense , the evi-
dcnco being overwhelmingly in his favor.
Then Scott , who has charge of the cohtcst
department , failed and rcfustid to pass upon
the ease and allowed It to remain In the olllco
unnoticed for more than twelve months ,
while dozens of other contests have been
heard since and sent to the general laud
office.
Finally Scott's tool procured a fraudulent
rellnnulshmont purporting to bo signed and
acknowledged by Judge Thomas thereby
cancelling the land , and sold tils thirty days'
preference right to Willard II , Daily ,
who entered the land. Major J ,
W. Pcarman , agent for Thomas ,
notified him of the fact and.Tudgo ; Thomas at
once made aflldavit that ho still hold thu
original receipt issued to him by Scott as
receiver ; that ho has never relinquished his
right to the tract and that any Instrument
purporting to bo such is false , fraudulent and
forged , The fact that the contestant In this
case is known to bo a vqry closoand confiden
tial adviser of Tully Scott , gives foundation
to the belief that the receipt has been du
plicated In this us well as other instances.
