McKlnley Defers All Meas nreg to the Tariff. Color Line In Augusta. A Long' Term as Justice- Journal Bukkaf, ) Washington, D. C, May 3. j Tariff history is repeating itself. Tin Senate made the McKinley tariff, by at taching about 800 amendments to tie original bill; the Senate made the 'Wil son tariff, by attaching a fewjlcss amend ments than it had put upon the McKin ley bill, and if the Dinglcy bill becomes a law in anything like the ehape in which the Republican members of the Finance Committee have submitted it to the full commitee, the Senate will have another tariff bill to its credit, notwith standing tlio Constitutional proviuion that all the revenue bills shall originate in the House. In the number of amend ments added the Dingey bill breaks all records, the number exceeding nn tiiousand. No date has yet been n greet' upon to report the bill to the Senate, hut unless something not now expected shall occur to prevent it will be reported in side of ten days. It looks now as though the hottest fight over the tariff would hi between Republicans, inste.idof betweei Democrats and Republicans. The civil service law is being attacked from all directions and a very noliceabl. attack was that made by Representative Corliss, of Mich., in a speech made the annual banquet of the alumni oi Columbian University, of which lie is member. He started out by saying that the prosperity of the University wai largely dependent upon the number of young men who come to Washington of Department clerks, and take up courses study after office hours, but that thi civil service law was shutting on this supply and filling the Departments with a lot of worn out human machines. Hi then said: "In my iudirmcnt the cm': icryice was a system devised by some ingenious minister under monarchal government to protect the king against the wrath of the people. Under such governments the long continued distri button of the political Datronage mode the people envious, and this system war no doubt devised to prevent revolution, hut in a republican form of government where the voice of the people is supreme, this civil service law becomes a most ob noxious and arbitrary restriction of hu man liberty. The Houso of Representa tives is the most direct representative body of the people in this country. If the civil service law is wise why not up ply it to this brunch of our government? How many of the older memliers ol Congress, now holding the most impor tant positions becausa of their long ser vice and exoerience, could successful!) pass a civil service examination for the position of messenger boy? In my judg ment there is nit one of them who would net rather retire to private life than to submit to such humiliating ex aminations." While it is known fiat President Mo Klnley favors the annexation of Hawaii and believes that it will be accomplished during his administration, there Is no probability that any steps towards an nexation will be publicly taken by the administration until after the tariff bill gels through Congress, unless it becomes necessary to hurry up annexation in or der to forestall any eSorts that Japan may feel disposed to make for the pur nose of buldozlog Hawaii. Mr. McKin ley has fully determined thato far as his control extends nothing shall get be fore Congress that would be likly to de tract attention from the tariff bill until that measure bas been disposed of. Should Justice Field live until the 10th day of next August, and the present state of bis heath indloates that be will lire much longer, he will have served lonnei on the bench of the U. S. Supreme court lian any other mad ever did. This It has been Ins ambition to do, and It lias kept him at work some years after be was eligible for retirement on full pay. When that date has been passed lie et pecta to re Ike- . It baa often been remarked, that oppo sites are attracted to esoh other, and many examples of Its truthfulness have been eeoo in the Senate, but none more striking than the close personal friend ship that has giown up between Senator Tillman, of 8. O., (the pitchfork man), and Foraker, of Ohio, They spend much of their leisure time together, although their political opinions are as wide apart as those of any two men could possibly be. The color line may be sharply drawn In the Senate If President McKlnley In sists upon standing by the nomination of J. W. Lyons, a colored man, to be post' master at Augusta, Ca. The entire Georgia delegation in Congress protested against this apppointment and it Is said Postme ster General Gary stands with them la opposition to Lyons, who Is the Georgia member of tbe Republican Na tional Committee. Treasury officials say they feel no on easiness concerning the Dew outflow of gold to Europe, which last week started off with over 7,000.000. They say that II is nominal and point to records for some. yan pait to prove It, but Ihers are prominent meinlieri of ;tba administra tion who do nut llko It, and who will waii -b.

C, May 3. , Today the city election is in progress, but there is very little chance of a change in the city government. Never before have we had so competent and conscientious management in all tin de partments and the Republicans and negroes in many instances will vote for the same democratic government: The public printers have about finished the printing of the new laws except the index. That will be done and the work ready for distribution early next week. The council of State, to whom was left the appointment of a State printer, have taken no steps looking to this. Stewart Bros., the present printers term expires July 1st. The Supreme Court adjourned on Saturday nnd all the Judges returned to their homes until the full. The Teacher's Aeseml ly program h.ng been completed anl it is a specially fine one. The Odd Fellows of this State yester day celebrated their 78th anniversary. President Kilgo of Trinity Collci;e preached the anniversary sermon. At the death of Mrs. E. G. Reade of this city some months ago she left $500 to the Soldier's Home in memory nf n brother. Mr. Stronaeh (lie Superinten dent of the Home decided; to use the money to erect a chapel at t lie Home, it is nearly completed and will seat 250. It will be called the "Rende Memorial Chapel." The Naval Battalions this State will probably join South Carolina and Georgia battalions in their naval drills this sum mer at Port Poyal 8. C. The Supreme court never before clear. ed up its docket so well, There nre only four or five cases left ever IM cases were heard. The fine rains of the prist few ilavs have been gladly grectel by the farmers. Prof. Von Hermann of tho U.S. Weather Bureau yesterday told m: that the out look was for a cool summer. Secretury of State Thompson Saturday paid into the treasury $15,8il which win his office receipts during April for seal fees, sale of Supre ne court reports, Ian 1 grants, insurance taxes and licenses. Tne receipts in March were over '.'It.OUO. The Supreme court holds that pholc - graphs can be used as competent willies- -es in trials for homicides, railway collis ions, etc. It is the first decision in this State that a photograph can he ailmiilel is evidence. The court sustained in li e appeal about two-thirds of the decisions if the lower court. The revenue collections in this district for April were ai follows: Spirits, 6U. 075; cigars and cigarettes, $13,1)13; snulT. (210; tobacco, 50,741; with a total of 78,630.
