Here he associated himself with' D. S. Mason, and the members of the firm continued their, professional relations for a year, when Mr. Scammon formed a partnership with Norman B. Judd, and they were together for ten years. Mr. Scammon was of a too progressive nature to confine his energies strictly to the law and he assumed a prominent part in developing the citv. "With W. B. Ogden he was successful in completing the Chicago & Galena Union railroad, and these gentlemen made themselves pioneers of the present railway system of the Northwest. During this period Mr. Scammon also took an actfve part in the political arena, and was one of the founders of the Republi­ can party. He then engaged in the banking business, forming the Marine bank, which was the first in Chicago under the general banking law, was a director of the State Bank of Illinois, and a promoter of the Mechanics' National bank. He founded the Chi­ cago Fire and .Marine Insurance com­ pany. He helped to establish the Trib­ une and Evening Journal, and founded the Inter Ocean. . He was the founder of the Sweden- borgian church in "Chicago and donated the ground on Congress street, where the present imposing edifice of th^at de­ nomination now stands. lie waS^oue of the first ^tO'.'Khplders it the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway. He founded, built, and presented to the citv the Hahnemann Hospital. He built the Dearborn street observatory, and for a long time paid the salary of the super­ intendent. In 1857 Mr. Soammon retired from ac­ tive business, having acquired large property possessions outside of his reg­ ular eom^e«jfcj|l interests. Hp then vis­ ited Europe jJIvd remained there three years, and while abroad his wife died. He returned to Chicago in 1860 and fouud hi« insurance company threat­ ened with financial disaster and its af­ fairs in very bad shape. He opened a private bank and closed up the affairs of the old institutions. The fire in 1871 destroyed all the build­ ing property he had, and his loss at that time was estimated at 8500,000. By 1873 he was in fair condition to repair his financial standing, but the panic of that year involved him still further. Mr. Soammon was born at Whitfield, Maine, July 27, 1812. His first wife was Miss Mary'Ann Haven Dearborn of Bath, Maine, and of their four children but two daughters survive. Neither re­ side in this citv. His eldest-^on, fliarles, who died in 187H, was formerly a law partner of Robert T. Lincoln. THE TARIFF SCHEDULE. MB. <M»KINM5Y*S MEASURE PRACTI­ CALLY COMPLETED, REVEALING SENATE SECRETS. Instancies Where Members Were Cen­ sored for Dealing With tlie Press. A Washington dispatch says: The re­ ported serious consideration by the Senate of a proposition to imprison newspaper men and abolish the press gallery, in retaliation for the refusal of correspondents to reveal the source of information upon which they based dis­ patches purporting to detail proceed­ ings at secret sessions of the Senate, is not surprising to some of the "old- stagers" hereabouts who remember that at different times in years gone by simi­ lar talk was indulged in and for some­ what Kindred reasons. Probably never but once or twice did the Senate suc­ ceed in finding out just how 'and through whom the secrets leaked out. Nenriy fifty years ago a Senator from Ohio gave to a newspaper man a copy of certain very important documents, and their publication excited the indignation of the Senate to such an extent that a resolution to expel the. Senator from the body was introduced, but as the matter was debated the heat of the Senate gradually toned down and it vindicated its privilege and authority by censuring the guilty statesman. Bufc immediately afterward another resolu tion was adopted that, in consideration of the acknowledgement and apology tendered by said Senator, no further censure be inflicted up in him. Another Instance was afforded during the term of Senator Cragin from New Hampshire. His copy of the corre­ spondence relating to the treaty of Wash mgton was accidentally lost, ami some newspaper found it and published the important matters which the document contained. An investigation was order­ ed, and it was found, by the voluntary statement of Mr. Cragin, that he had lost his copy of tbe important secret document In question. Ills perfect hon esty and frankness disarmed criticism and he was let off with a mild though serious admonition, not to do so again. A Brlaf Bsrams of the Proposed Change* ta Oar Import Dnttos by Which It Is Asserted 900,000,000 Less Would An­ nually Reach the Treasury from This Source. Washington dispatch: What will be known as the McKinley tariff bill is practically completed. While subject to revision up to the last moment, the schedules have been fought out so thor­ oughly In committee that the material changes are likely to bo few. The estimated reductlort of revenues from the bill Is in round numbers 5MM7,- 000,000. Some of this Is to cdme from decreased importations because of in­ creased duties. Roughly estimated the proposed reductions may be split up as follows: Sugar, #37,500,000; internal revenue, ¥19,000.000; free list, $1,500,- 000; tariff schedules, 812,000,000; total, §60,000,000. The internal revenue features of the bill are as follows: The entire abolition of all special taxes upon dealers of all kinds, commonly known as licenses: the taxes upon snuff will be repealed; farm­ ers and planters growing tobacco will ha,ve the liberty to sell to whomsoevor they ploase without restraint, in the same manner as any farmer can dispose of any other of the products of his land. The tax upon manufactured tobacco will be reduced from eight cents to four cents a pound; cigars, cheroots, and cig­ arettes will carry the same tax as is Imposed under the present law. Alco­ hol used In the arts Is free under sub­ stantially the same restrictions as are prescribed In the Senate bill. The re­ ductions in the revenue from these sources will be in round numbers be­ tween $17,000,000 and $19,000,000. The following are the principal provi­ sions In the tariff schedule--the chemi­ cal schedule contains but few changes from existing law. There are some re­ ductions and no advances In duty, and It Is believed that the duties in this schedule will be found below the Senate schedule: The earth, earthenware, and glass­ ware schedule remains substantially as in the existing law. There are a num­ ber of important changes in the metal schedule. Existing rates are maintain­ ed upon iron ore and pig-iron. Barbed wire for fencing is made dutiable at 6-10 cent a pound, which Is a reduction be­ low that of the Senate bill. Railway Iron Is reduced to fi-lOc a pound, the present rate being $17 atbn, a reduction of about 94 a ton and a re­ duction In the rate fixed by the Senate <bill. The duty on steel rails Is reduced $4 a ton. The duty on tin-plate has been increased to two and two-tenths cents a pound. Pig-tin remains free. It Is believed that with the encourage­ ment our tin-plate will be manufactured in this country. Already we make the sheet-Iron and sheet-steel, which is 95 per cent of the tin-plate, and, with the assurance that there is tin in the Black Hills it is thought that a great Industry will spring up. There is an Increase on the duty on pocket cutlery, which the committee justify on the ground of the depressed colidition of that industry in the United States and the sharp and ruinous com­ petition that has already been felt from Germany. Hand sewing needles are also placed upon the free list. The new metal alum­ inum is given a designation for the first time under "metals and manufacturers" thereof, and is made dutiable at 37 per cent ad valorem. In the lumber schedule the duty on sawed boards, sawed planks, and fin­ ished lumber Is reduced 50 pereent from the present rate. There is a special provision inserted that in case Canada lays an export duty upon lumber then duties shall be collected according to the rates under existing law. The dutv on Sumatra tobacco Is in­ creased to $2.75 per pound. There is a an increase generaRy along the entire list in the duties upon agri­ cultural products. The duty upon barely Is raised to 30 cents a bushel, hops to 45 cents a pound, buckwheat to 15 cents a bushel, macaroni and vermi­ celli 2 cents a pound, oats 10 cents a bushel. The duty on agricultural seeds is Increased. Sugar under and including 16 Dutch standard is made dutiable at 35 per cent and above 16 Dutch standard at 40 per cent.

Ihs Casualty Oceasloaod If til Heavy Ralnn--Three Dead Bodlsitsksa from the Rains--Several OOi'tirs Severely Injured-Details of the Disaster. Troy (N. Y.) dispatch: As a result of the recent continued heavy rains a land­ slide occurred on Warren's hill, at the head of Adams street. Immense masses of earth fell, destroying in their course a double two-story brick house on, Haver­ sian'avenue occupied by four families. Immense crowds were attracted by the crash and pressed in from all sides to­ ward the seene of devastation. Num­ bers of willing lianas were formed to aid In removing the ruins and rescuing the vlctlnjsi The fire department was also called out to aid in the work. The following persons were taken out of the ruins crushed to death: ANNIE BURNS, aged 8. 0 -"T ' MRS. CANTON, an old woman. \ MRS. HOQAN. Mrs. Canton's daughter. ' Several others were dragged out more or less injured. There is a scene or wild excitement In the vicinity of the disas­ ter, which Is intensified by the fear of another slide, the earth on the hill being in a very shaky condition. The injured are Patrick Canfield, Sr., and wife; Patrick Canfield, Jr., and wife; John A. Hern, wife, and three children. They were all badly cut and bruised. Their house was torn from its foundations, carried in the street, and crushed into a shapeless mass, the only part'visible being the roof. , The slide came against a large brick house on the opposite side of the street and was stopped, preventing larger de­ struction of life and Droperty. A small house near that destroyed was also crushed. It was occupied by James Lawrenson and family, who escaped with slight Injuries. Tho Burns girl's neck was broken and Mrs^. Canton was crushed and mangled beyond recogni­ tion. It was some hours before the vic­ tims were rescued owing to the diffi­ culty in working in the clay soil. A similar slide occurred near th«i same spot in 1858, when the Provincial seminary, then in course of construction, was burled and never dug out. • THE SENATE ANDH0USE. / MnOXAt MLW-MAKERS A M D WHAT THEY ARE DOISO. POSTAL TELEGRAPH SCHEME. A Syndicate Submits a Proposition to the House Committee. Washington dispatch: A new prop­ osition in connection with tne proposed establishment of a government postal telegraph system was made to the House committee on postoffices by J. M. Sey­ mour, a member of tho New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Seymour stated that he represented a number of well-known capitalists who were willing to build lines and maintain a postal telegraph system under government supervision in accordance with the provisions of the Postmaster-General's bill or to operate on a uniform 25-cent rate. They hoped to make the undertaking a success by the Patten multiplex sys- tem^ which has been in operation in New York and Philadelphia for six months. The syndicate proposed to< build and maintain the lines, furnish operators, power and stationery and to have the right to build and be protected in constructing lines over all postal roads. It asked to be exempted from Federal and State taxation. In cities where the postoffices were cramped for want of room the syn­ dicate proposed to furnish its own offices. It was desired to make a contract with the government for fifteen years with the privilege of renewal, unless the gov­ ernment would take the lines at the end of that time at a value to be appraised by experts. Mr. Seymour said he would rather not' give the names of his asso­ ciates, but assured the committee that they were all well known throughout the commercial world and were willing to aive a bond of $100,000 as a guarantee that they would carry out any contract with the government. The syndicate expected, he stated, to be allowed to do private business outside of the government work. Mr. Seymour claimed that had the Western Union used the Patten system last year its ex­ penses would have been only $6,000,000 instead os $16,000,000. He Doesn't T1«lnk Fanlkner Is Alive. Utlca (N.

Bradstreet's "State of Trade," pub­ lished in New York, says: The week has been marked by a noticeable check in tho movement of general merchandise throughout the lower'Misslsslppi valley owing to floods and fears of further overflows. Un favorable weather and high water have had their effect also throughout tho Ohio river valley. Improved merchandise movements are reported from Boston, Pittsburg, Kan­ sas City, Chicago and Omaha. Reports of available stock of grain east of the Rocky mountains. United States and Canada, show unX'orm decreases last week. The decrease of only 817,i'M) bushels of wheat was surprisingly small.

Soldiers to Have the Benefit ot uoansel In Court-Martini Trials- Washington dlspnteh; Secretary Proctor will, In a day or two, issue a general order intended to give etilisted men the benefit of counsel when tried by court-martial by directing that whon tho prisoner desires counsel the com­ manding officer at the post where the trial is held shall detail a suitable officer for that service. This will nfake a matter of regula­ tion of a haphazard custom that has been In vogue at places for some years. It is tho Secretary's desire to put an en­ listed man who Is under trial upon tho same footing as a civilian in a similar position. In civil courts in case of Inability to hire counsel the court will assign a law­ yer. Tho whole matter grows out of an investigation which the Secretary has been conducting for some months into tbe subject of military law and its ad* ministration, and . of which {he cele- \*ated "Wild case" is one of tho fruits.
