Washington, Feb. 4. The present Congress will not appoint a tariff commission. Revision of the tarift will be undertaken next winter, in the short term. .- These announcements, in substance, were made to-day by Chairman Payne, of the . House committee on ways and means, la the presence ana with the tacit approval of Speaker Cannon, the occasion being a call up on those leaders by a tariff revision delegation from various pans of the country, comprising representatives of many of the largest manufacturing and Industrial concerns In the United States and headed by Janjes W. Van Cleave, of St. Lopuls, president of the National Association of Manufactur ers. The delegation arrived In Washing ton yesterday,, and last night organix ed atthe Now Wlllard Hotel. To-day they called at the White House. Lat-es- they went to tha Capitol, and were received In the waya and means room by Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne. There they spent more than an hour,, presenting their case and listening to replies by the two fore most Republican leaders In theflouse; which were practically a refusal of all that the delegation had journeyed to Washington to pieaa lor. HANDLING OF TARIFF. In ' Introducing the N subject of the appointment of a tariff commission, in line witli the Beveridge bill recently offered In the Senate. Mr. VanCleave said the delegation was unanimous in the belief that "the matter of the tar iff can be best handled by the applica tion of a hard-headed business bill," which would so amend the tariff schedules as ,to encourage the de velopment of foreign commerce by the producers of the United States with out at the same time exposing their goods to the reactionary . effects of free trade. He said It was tha firm ellef of tho vast Interests represented by the members of the delegation that a wholesome revision .of the tariff could be beat got at by a commission, ap pointed to ascertain the costs of do mestic productions, the relative profits derivable from home and foreign sales, and all the multitudinous fact. ' ap pearing, to complex sot important f a subject . ," . I Other speakers along the.se llnea were A, H. Saunders, representing thej Reciprocity League of Chicago; H, E. Miles, chairman of tne tariff com mlttee of the National Association of manufacturers: N. J. Batchelor, ot New Hampshire, master of the Na tional Grange; S. H. Cowan, repre senting the National Live Stock As sociation and the Cattle Raisers As sociation of Tas;: G. A. Stephens, of Mollne, 111., representing the National Association of Agricultural ana ve hide Manufacturers; Mr. Metcalf. rep resenting manufacturers of agricul tural implements, and J. E. Wilder. representing the Illinois Manufactur ers' Association, and speaking for the sole leather manufacturers. , CANNON'S KIND. SDeaker Cannon, interrupting Mr, Metcalf. asked: "Do F understand that you favor oh the part of the Unit ed States an even tariff with . every other country In the world, except that we shall enforce our maximum tariff against such countries as discriminate against our exports? that you favor a mlnimum-ana-maximum irin. with that application?" The answer was strongly In the af firmative. ' 'Then." said the Speaker, "I am glad to hear your medicine, for that is precisely the kind of a tar in i je- Heve in myself.'' , ! ;. Mr. Payne made his position ciear by appealing to tha delegates to see the unwisdom of the appointment of a (necessarily) partisan tariff commis sion, as proposed In the Beveridge bill, "at the heels of a financial panio and on the eve of a presidential cam paign. Teu would not ask a commit tee of Congress, to undertake & tariff revision at such a time," he said; "yet now how much more disturbing it would be to have a commission holding public hearings on the tariff at this time. "My. position is that when It "shall be best for the Interests of the Amer ican people to undertake a revision of the tariff, that Is the time when I shall favor a revision; and I should' urge a m in Imum-and -maximum tariff coupled, with the exisUng law empow ering tho United States to make trade agreements with other countries; and I would follow France, Germany and Russia in the provision that the min imum tariff should afford a fair pro tection to home products. ,. ' REVISION NEXT WINTER. "I think the signs of the times are that next winter this Congress will un dertake a revision of the tariff. Shall we get our working information at first hand from the producers them selves or shall we content ourselves with getting it second-hand from : a body of men appointed aa a tanrc in vestigation commissior.? From -what I have seen of the formation of tariff bills .nd I have been. II" years a member of tho ways and means com mittee and for the last nine years Its chairman I should by all means seek It at first hand. Tou cannot convince me, gentlemen, of the' wisdom of ap pointing such a commission at this session. . - ' WILL PRESENT HCCIIES' NAME.

Audlcnco in a long Time Nat Goodwin Rose Ftil . ly to the Kxpeotatlonw of the llie-Htre-Gocrs Strong . Cat Support Him. It has been a long time since a bet ter play was presented to a Charlotte audience than 'The Easterner, George Broadhurst's four act comedy drama, last nignt, ty Nat C. Good win, Miss Edna. Goodrich and conv pany. It seems almost inapropos to refer to It as a comedy drama, for, while clean humor, clear-cut repartee and situations which are excrutlatingly amusing are sprinkled freely through out the production, there is far more In It than that. Tragedy the trag edy of wrecked character, of the' tak ing of human-life, of villainous , con spiracy to blind justice and punish the innocent Is often present, forming a aark background against which the happy vein of mutual loves, four of them, and the happy termination of it an, stand out in bright relief. As for feeling, human emotion at its height, the play is full of It. - To say that the cast which played last ' night la Superb Is saying much. but hardly too much. Every one of tne persons . playing anything like prominent parte, and nearly all are prominent, Is a real, live actor, not an amateur. Nat Goodwin himself is like the play, exceflenr In comedy, but so effective In the crises, which came thick and fast near the climax, that it Is a question Whether ho was not better in that role. Broadhurst's Play is an excellent medium for him. The mere story Is a thrilling one and it is carried through from atari to finish with a snap and a go, a crowd ing of incident on Incident, so dram atically logical, in an order so artis tically, perfect in plan, that tha inter est of the audience never iwartes from start to finish, except possibly a trifle fter the end of the third act, when trte climax has been reached and the nerves of the spectators have just re ceived their hardest, tug. Curtain call after call was given Goodwin last night by an audience which packed the bulMing. Miss Edna Goodrich, as Orace Mor ton, the rich young woman who con tracts a case of mutual love with "The Easterner," but misunderstands his efforts, as acting sheriff to save from the hands of a mob her brother, Bruce Morton, falsely accused of the murder of Sam Johnson, by Moreley Crawford, who had betraved Johnson's wife before her marriage and killed him when, on learning the truth, he started to avenge her. is very pretty Indeed and fccqultted herself with credit. Dora Johnson, the former sheriffs daughter, who was Johnson's bride, ranks easily among the stars of the company,, Johnson himself was fine. He was supposed to be a Rube, a country bridegroom, .and lie acted it to perfection. In actions, in feelings, in talk, he was the unaffect ed countryman. Ike Bobbins, the real sheriff who resigned ' in order to avenge according t Western custom the slayer of his daughter's husband, snl who is prevented from slaying the youth falsely accused only by "the Easterner's" nerve and cunning, was good. The boy himself was very clever. , The enjoyment of the play was mar red at one or two places, when at the most dramatic moments. laughter from dull-faoultied persons in the pea nut, who thought the situation in tended to be humorous, came as a dis tinct shock. Oeorgo M. Cohen's famous musical play. Little Johnny Jones," will be me Academy of Music this af- ternoon and to-night under the man- i H-ineni oi Joseph M. Galtes. This play has been presented hern before, and ph ased tho theatregoers immensely. Tho company that will bo seen here is the same as was seen In the play during the long run in Chicago hint summer. Many competent critics have said that "Little Johnny Jones" Is one of the best plays that Mr. Cohen has ever written. The book is unusually bright and contains many wise sayings. The mu sic, too, is exceptionally catchy, and has been whistled and suna; by hun dreds of thousands nf people, namely "Good Rye Flo." "Nestling In a New York Tree," "Good Old California," Yankee Doodle Boy," "Life's a Very .runny i-roiHismon After All' and ii ve -My Regards to Hroadftny.'

Miss Luck aye and Miss Murrell, of the company, dis puted tha honor of being god-mother to tne baby, while Raluh Dean. Hen Higgens and Harry Crosby have, in carrying out the sentiment of Mr. Armstrong's comedy already nominat ed themselves a committee for pro viding the Infant with a suitable birth-gift. Theatre-goers who hava laughed at "The Heir to the Hoorah" will understand that these gentlemen are, to use the vernacular of the pavement, "up against If if they live up to the characters they play upon the stage in regard to that same birth gift. In the play Mr. Armstroni makes Hud Young. Dave Lacy. Win throp and Kelly exclaim In quick suc cession when the announcement of Joe's baby Is made: "Give him a spoon? Hell!" "Give him a mine!" "Stake him to a ranch!" "We'll show him that we're no pik ers!" . The Monroe baby has surely aurifer ous expectations from Ita father's friends and fellow players.

Fpocial to The Observer. , Salisbury, Feb. H. All talk of pro hibltion and Other things Is to-day subordinated to the discussion of the Whitney . receivership. Salisbury, lt may be said, is more concerned both at present and in the future in the big development scheme than any other city. The large force at Whitney uses this town as Its marketing place and when power is turned on this will be a chief distributing point, -Tour correspondent saw Col. John S. Hen derson again to-day. but that gentle man had nothing further to add to the details published this morning. NO INTERRUPTION. Mr. W. J. McKlnney, treasurer ot tbe-T. A. Gillespie Company, the con tractors, is In town, as Is also Mr It. J. Gillespie,, the superintendent at Whitney. From what could be gath ered to-day there will be no' inter ruption in the work at present but ot course sufficient time has not elapsed" since the receiver was appointed, to enable him to make an authoritative announcement on the subject. Things are being pushed along right merrily at Whitney and these proceedings will possibly have no effect on the actual work. There la a strong feeling In Salisbury, that the great undertaking will be pushed to completion and then when power is turned on the company will have a revenue and discharge its liabilities in short order. As it Is it has expended enormous sums of money In the last three years and has not received one . penny In return. It is understood here that the re ceivership proceedings are only taken as a matter of protection and that tha work will be . completed at the appointed, time. This great scheme is of glgantlo proportions and to- refresh the mem ory of Observer readers this corres pondent has compiled the following data concerning it: Facts about the tork. Owners: The Whitney Company, Pittsburg. Pa., New York and Balls bury. Contractors: The T. A. Gil lespie Company, New York and Pitts burg. XocatIon: Whitney, Stanly county, Si miles southeast of Salisbury, on Yadkin branch of Southern Railway. Description of works: a dam and spillway with canal four and one-half miles long to power house. Dam is built of granite. Is 1,000 feet wide 58 feet thick at base and feet Inches at crest Spillway la 1,253 feei long, 33 feet thick at base and 6 feet three Inches at crest. Dam and spill way have a hclzht of 'is rcet. Down stream face of dam is ogee in de sign, the alignment being straight. Uesiilei the above-mentioned dam and spillway of granite, as a further pro tection against floods a concreto core dam 300 feet Ion ft has been built on the eastern side of the river. Tho ca nal serving the power house will bo four: and one-half miles in length with a surface width of 112 feet and an average depth of water of 20 feet Its capacity will permit a flow of 8,300 cubic feet a second with a head avail able for the operation of the turbines of 12U feet. The main dam is design ed to withstand a flow of 200.000 cubic feet of water a second, eo.ua! to a depth of 1- foet above tha crest of the dam. Materials used: About 1(0.000 cubic yards of masonry wero used In con struction of main dam, spillway and core dam. Of this some 100,000 yards are of granite. This granite comes from the Rowan Granite Company s quar rles at Granite Quarry (five miles from Salisbury on the Yadkin, branch of the Southern Rallrorfd). This gran Ite Is light In color and hna 'been sub Jeet to many tests. iris found It will withstand a crushing test of over 30,- 000 pounds to the square Inch and absorbs less moisture than any gran ite yet tested by the United States government. The supply of this white granite Is practically Inexhaustible and besides at the same place the company owns a very large pink gran ite riuarry -which takes a beautiful polish and should be very valuable for monumental and building pur poses. Tho remainder or the mason, ry Is-concrete. Horse-power: First development will be over 40,000 horse-power, cap able, as additional machinery Is ob tained, of being increased to 100,000 horse-power. ' - Electrlo equipment: Power house 0 feet In width, 300 feet In length. First Installation will consist of six units, each unit comprising one tur bine-water wheel developing t.OOO mechanical horse-power. The gene raters will be directly connected wltn the turbines, the revolving parts of each unit weighing no less than 70 tons, the distance from the hot turn, .of the draft tubes to the top of the generators being 52 feet. The gene rators will deliver electrical energy at a rate of 11.000 volts. When trans mltted to mills and other establish ments not over 40 mles distant this will bo raised to 30.000 volts by trans formers, and If transmitted beyond 40 miles, the pressure will be raised to 60,000 volts. The generators are cariable of delivering 48,000 electrical horse-power continuously.

T MOOHESVILLE JfATTEflS. Mr. W. K. Klicplierd Resign as Rail - road Agent Bond to Catanba to lie Macadamized Town In Dark- news , . Special t't The Observer,. ;' . Mooresvlllo, Feb. i. Mr. W. f icpherd. who has been the capable She agent for the Southern Railway at this point for the past several years, has resigned his position as agent on account of increase in work and .de crease, in help. Mr. Shepherd's resig nation has been in the hands of the superintendent for several months, but the company has been unable tc relieve . him until this week. Mr. Shepherd has no definite plans as to his future work at present. ine new railroad agent is ir. c. u, Slater, who has been chief clerk to Superintendent A. M. Smith at Win ston. He arrived yesterday and the work of transferring tho agency has begun. Dr. E. G. Click, who left here the first of the year for Salisbury to prac tice dentistry, has purchased the dn tal business of Dr. R. .W. Reece. at El' kin. and will practice at his old home. He won many "rflendrdnrlng his short stay In our town. A number ot citizens of Mooresville 'representing the business Interests of the town appeared before the board of county commissioners and request ed that the chaingang be sent here to assist in building a macadamized road from here to Catawba river to connect with the steel toll bridge. The boaru promised to let the chaingang come ail soon aa tho work on the road to Five Mile branch was completed. Tho commissioners ordered that tho civil engineer be sent to Mooresville to survey the proposed road. This action of tha board was received with pleas ure by the committee and the road to tho river seems now a certainty. The citizens on the road have prom ised to raise 1500 per mile to make a good road and with the assistance from the county a road will be built that will be of much benefit, not oniy to Mooresville. but a large scope of country that has no advantage of good roads. Mooresville receives its power from the Southern Power Company, which seems to be having bad luck of late. Thia makes the second time recently the town has been without power or lights. Friday night auout 10 o'clock tho lights went out and the power was not again turned on until Sunday afternoon about 6 o'clock. Senate Hill unsatisfactory. Washington. Feb, 4.

THE WRONG; WAY Many I'hysicliin Try to Cure Dys pepsia by Having 'Jiieir j'uucnu Marte Out the Disease. Tills Method May Ruin the Stomach To become a physician one must study medical literature for a long time and attend several years at a medical college, dissect at least one human body, pass many quizzes and examinations, and at last receive his diploma, which entitles him to the M. l. degree. - Yet all this doe not necessarily make a doctor. We have known many graduates, with their sheepskins, who could not apply the knnwludge they had ac quired to relieving and curing A put lent of dyspepsia. They were floored by their first attempt to cure such a patient. They were not to blame for this, for all the knowledge they acquired from medical w;rks was wholly ex perimental. They were tulj to try tho following: Aromatic Ammonia. lilcarbonate of Soda. illcarbonate of potash. . Hlu Muss. Camphor Water. Cathchu.. Charcoal. Cresotp. Hot Water. Lime Water. Magnesia. Mineral Witters. NP.ric Acid. . -. Nltro-Murlatlo Acid. . Nux V ojii lea. Oil of Ambjr. ;oil of Cajuput. . Rhubarb. Wenna. ' ... Spirits of Lavender. Hlflrvatlon. -Strychnia, ' - Hurphur. Sulphite of Lime. "Tincture Cardamon. Taraxacum. Tincture Ginger. Tincture of Iron. Tonics. " ' Vegetable Rltter. in the list ht water Is tr) emty remedy that will not do more'vharm than good, and Its use Is still an un solved, problem. . i If the professor who coaches the graduate would luind him a package of (Quart's Dyspepsia Tablet and tell him that it-was a specific for dyspepsia. inJlgestlon, all stomach ailments, and should be his mainstay In such cuses, that one grain of their active principle would digest 3.000 grains of food in the stomach. and that aided by this remedy the stomach would soon regain Its nor mal condition, he would do the stu dent more good than sending him forth with -a lot of uncertain know- led ire about the cura of 4hoaa rilaaau conditions. The young doctor would gnin a re putation by curing his first case of dyspepsia . The patient -cured would ' sound his praise far anj hear, as do thous ands who praise eUuart'a Dyspepsia tablets. instead of experimenting with th mess of medicine 4n the above list. and doing his patients more harm than good, he would always be gam In repuattlon by 'always curing his pullent. When he met any indication of a diseased organ, he should discover what hundreds of other Joctors have, that the whole trouble started with Imperfect digestion and as similation, then taae out of his pock et medicine case few of Stuart's Dyspepsia -taoiew. ana tell the pa tient hove to use them. Tha result would be considered by the patient almost miraculous, and suocesa fter success would be achiev ed by him. Many blood d!ease. skin eruptions and heart troubles yield readily to tUuart'e JDyspepsH1 Tablets, because they cure the incubating; reuse dyspepsia.
