CHAIRMAN DINGLEY TALKS.
States the Exact Meaning of the Revenue and
Financial Measures Prepared by the
Ways and Means Committee.
Washington, Dec. 25.—Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
made a statement last night as to the ex
meaning of the proposed revenue bill.
His explanation is a substantial reitera
tion of the reports on this topic as con
veyed to the public in the Southern Asso
ciated Press dispatches. "The revenue
bill,” said Chairman Dingley, "is not in
tended to be a tariff revision, but simply
an exigency bill to raise about $40,090,000
of revenue to meet tlie^Jeficiency. The
main object is revenue, although inciden
tally the Increases will help American in
dustries to some extent. The bill is lim
ited to two and a half years, the expecta
tion being by that time the republicans
•will be in full power and able to revise
the tariff on their own lines. Wools are
taken from the free list, and clothing
•wools given a duty of 6 4-10 cents (60
per cent of the duty provided by the act
of 1890), and woolen goods are given a
specific compensatory duty, 60 per cent
of what they had under the act of 1890,
and the same specific duty is given to
carpets as under the act of 1890, in addi
tion to the ad valorem duties of the pres
ent law. Carpet wools are placed where
they were under the act of 1890, and the
same specific duty is given to carpets as
■under the act of 1890, in addition
to the advalorem duties of the pres
ent law. The articles of lum
fber placed on the free list of the tariff
of 1890 are transferred to the dutiable
list, with 60 per cent of the duty they
had under the act of 1890. Then all the
other dutiable schedules (except sugar,
•which is not touched) have all the duties
raised 15 per cent. The committee had
not the time to treat articles separately,
and hence a horizontal Increase became
necessary as to all articles now on the
free list.
"The bond bill,” added Mr. Dingley,
"gives the secretary of the treasury au
thority to issue a 3 per cent, five-year
coin bond to maintain the redemption
fund, in addition to the authority he now
(posseses, but provides that the proceeds
of all bonds sold under this act and under
the resumption acts shall be used only
for redemption purposes. It also pro
vides that all bonds shall be first offered
to the people of this country. The bill
also authorizes certificates of indebted
ness, bearing 3 per cent interest and pay
able within three years, to meet any tem
porary deficiency of revenup. The only
(Object of the bond bill is to reduce the
irate of interest and the time they run,
ps the bonds which the secretary is now
authorized to issue bear 4 or 5 per cent
[interest. The bill practically separates
the redemption fund from the cash in
Ithe treasury, and is intended to put a
atop to the practical use of proceeds of
[bonds to meet the deficiency in the
(treasury.”

TRAGEDY IN A HOSPITAL
Alfred Walker Attempts to Kill His Wife and
Then Puts a Bullet Through His
Own Brain.
Brooklyn, N. Y„ Dec. 25.—While the
1100 inmates of the Dong Island State
hospital, formerly the Flatbush Insane
asylum, on Clarkson street, were being
treated to their Christmas dinner this
afternoon Alfred F. Walker, a stenogra
pher and typewriter, 26 years of age,
who resides at 200 Green street, called
to see his wife, Mary K. Walker, who is
a patient at the hospital. Mr. Walker
was escorted by an attendant to the
room in which his wife is confined. The
latter, who is 23 years of age, was ad
mitted to the institution on May 2. 1805.
She is suffering from what the doctors
term recurrent manta. When the hus
band presented himself there was an
affectionate greeting. The couple stepped
into an adjoining room and began a
conversation. The ward in which this
room is situated contains forty patients.
Ten or fifteen visitors, besides the nurses,
were also present at the time. One of
the nurses. Miss Mary Odair, passed the
door of the room in which Walker and
his wife were conversing, when suddenly
the report of a pistol shot rang out. Miss
Odair rushed to the door of the room
just in time to see Walker place the
weapon to his head and fire a second
shot while seated in a chair. The pa
tients screamed ami other ladles and
nurses ran in every direction. l)r. Syl
vester, the superintendent, was quickly
on hand, followed by ids assistants.
It was found that Walker had shot his
wife in the right temple, but the bullet
only inflicted a slight scalp wound. In
the effort to take his own life Walker
was more successful, the ball having
penetrated the skull just above and be
hind the right ear, making a wound from
which the brain exuded. He was un
conscious, and an ambulance surgeon
removed him to St. John's hospital. At
a late hour tonight it was said that
Walker was still unconscious, and could
not possibly recover. Walker has three
small children. He has been out of em
ployment for some time, and had become
despondent over his troubles.
HODY WAR IN TURKISH DOMAIN.
Always Jt'rocoaea oy a JJispiay oi me oocrou
Green Flag.
Baltimore Sun.
As the interests of the Christian por
tion of the universe are now centered In
an effort to relieve the distress of people
of Armenia, an Asiatic province of the
Turkish empire, and as rumors have been
current that the troops of the sultan
now concentrating In that province for
the ostensible purpose of putting down
an Incipient rebellion of the miserable
people have displayed the “green ban
ner," which means a “holy war,” It will
be of interest to trace as far as possible
the origin and meaning of a "jejad" or
“holy war." It is understood to be a
Mohammedan doctrine that jejad, or holy
war, can only be proclaimed by the Sheik
ul Islam, the religious deputy of the sul
tan himself. The proclamation is per
formed by unfolding the sanjaksherif, or
flag of the prophet, which is made of
green silk, with a crescent at the top
iof the staff, to which Is attached a horse
hair plume. This flag is deposited in the
mosque of St. Sophia, at Constantinople.
It Is not, however, the original flag of the
prophet, as that ensign was white, and
was made from the turban of the Koreish
which Mohammed captured. For tills,
some time later, was substituted a black
flag, made of tile petticoat of Ayesha, the
favorite wife of the prophet, and in whose
arms he died.
Omar, the second Moslem caliph, ob
tained possession of the flag by conquest,
and It passed subsequently into the
hands of the abassides and the caliphs
of Bagdad and Kalmlra, and was brought
to Furope by Aniuralh III and deposited
in the seraglio at Constantinople. When
the flag was changed in color from black
to green Is not known, but according to
th doctrine of Mohammed the sultan and
his deputy have the sole authority to un
furl the flag over Constantinople and
proclaim a "holy war," a war against all
Christendom, and one n which every
species of atrocity is perpetrated in the
name of the prophet on the unbelievers.
The unfurling of the green flag among
the Turkish soldiery, if there be truth
in the report, may not be from the orders
of the sultan, as there Is a large element
of the Mohammedans, particularly those
of Arabia and the holy land, who do not
recognize the legitimacy of the claim of
the Ottoman Turks to the caliphate and
would not wait for the orders of the
ruler If they are anxious for a jejad
against the hated Christians. If the sul
tan should attempt, or If any part of the
dominion Independent of his order* tn
augurate a war. It becomes the duty of
every Christian nation to take prompt
action in th* protection of the helpless
people that will be exposed to every kind
of outrage that the devilish Ingenuity of
the Moslem region will contrive to in
vent. Personal interest and aggran
dizement should he promptly laid aside
in the cause of humanity.

This is an approximate estimate of tho
cost of Vanity Fair In Now York—more
than 81,000,000.
Society pluces itself on show In Madison
Square Gordon and expends a king's ran
som Id doing it. This takes no account
either of tho Immense amount of money
that is spout on tho horsos that are gath
ered from all ports of the country for the
annual horsu show competition, no modost
figure in itself.
Tho Iluohoss of Marlborough on hor first
appearance at tho show woro a costumo
that hud been nmdo specially for tho occa
sion. The proprietress of a fashloDablo
dressmaking establishment in Fifth av

Her mother, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt,
who was present on tho opening night,
woro a gown of old rose velvot and satin,
trimmod with loco, and with bonnet to
match. Like that of her daughter, it was a
creation for horse show purposes only, nnd
was one of sovernl which she had made,
for although she appeared on several occa
sions subsequently she was always in a
different costumo. Five hundred dollars
is a low ostlmato for such garments In
thoso end of tho century days of dressmak
ing.
in me ramo aoove, wmcn was prepared
by a well known modiste, a recognized
authority on suoh matters, tho figures aro
most conservative. When It is estimated
that ton women expended f3,000 each in
tholr special preparations for the show, it
Is probablo that there wero really double
that number, and that some of them, seek
ing exceptional brilliancy In Vanity Fair,
wero not content with the expenditure of
less than twice that amount.
Loss than 9,000 women are included in
tho table, no account being taken of the
other thousands whose expenditures for
tho horse show, though specifio, were com
paratively trivial. With those taken In
also tho total might have been increased
by from *20,000 to *50,000.
Masculine frills ure of course not so ex
pensive as those of the women, but tbelr
cost forms no unimportant part In tlio ex
pense of Vanity Fair. Tho tailor and tho
hatter would have good causo for regret If
the annual liorso show wero to be discon
tinued. While tho women spent upward
of *000,000 in preparations for the show
tho men wore content with a quarter of
that expenditure.
Charlie Bates, best known as “Fatty,”
wore an average of throo suits a day, and
thorn wero many more llko him. Willie
Ducrr imported whole trunkfuls of clothos
. especially injijo for the occasion.
Home show trousers are different in
many respects from thoso of ordinary lifo
and have to hoprovldod. Hotbo show hats
aro as different from tho ordinary style as
are tho tiles of our gronddaddles. Bates'
hats were made from a special block, and
after tho first day thorc was a rush of the
knowing ones to get something as near
like them as possible.
Tho Broadway florists estimate that they
sold flowers for tho liorso show alone to
tho amount of moro than *10,000. The
women of Vanity Fair will use only thoso

Ten thousand dollars for special cab und
carriage hire is said by tho man in charge
at tho Garden to ho a moderate estimate.
Visitors come from all parts of the coun
try, and as they had to vlo with New
York’s wealthiest sot tho cost of their
transportation and their maintenance at
tho most expensive hotels cannot bo ostl
matod at less than $60,000 for tho week.
Five thousand of those that attended the
horso show, it is said, came from out of
town, some from uoarby places, others
from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and as far west as Chicago.
Tiie box olilco receipts are estimated at
$150,000, of which upward of $100,000 will

For dinners and lunohoons tho hotels

GOOD CIIEER SUPREME.
Christmas in the Oreat Metropolis of tho
Continent.
New York, Dec. 25.—New Yorkers
probably found as many different ways
of observing this day as there are people
in the city. Probably that large portion
of the city's population which attends
the religious services weekly w-ere in a
better position to enjoy the holiday than
any other class. The churches today
furnished by far the most beautiful show
ever seen in New York. In addition to
the most elaborate decorations that have
ever graced temples of worship, a num
ber of the more famous churches had
been fortunate enough to secure some of
the best vocal talent in the country for
the day's choral service.
At the Cathedral Archbishop Corrigan
celebrated pontlflclal high mass, which
was on a grand scale. At the other
churches the services were only elabor
ate, and were attended apparently by
few outsiders of their regular congre
gations.
All of the charitable organizations of
the city had their usual Christmas spread
and good cheer reigned supreme.

Serious Fighting Between Turks and Druses
near Suedich—12,200 Killed—Sev
eral Casualties at Sea.
Constantinople, Dec. 25.—Dispatches
from Beyrout say that there was se
rious fighting between Turkish troops
and the Druses near Suedich on Decem
ber 21. The official account is that the
Druses lost 12,200 killed. On the Turk
ish side, according to the official report,
only seventy were killed and fifty
wounded. Disorders are reported at
Tarsus. The disturbance was quelled by
the officials. No details have been re
ceived, but it is believed that the trouble
now reported explains the arrival at
Marstna of the Rev. Mr. Christie, a mis
sionary, and his family, as well as many
others, who undoubtedly went there to
seek protection.
Commotion Expected.
London, Dec. 25.—The Times tomorrow
will print the following Constantinople
dispatch, under date of December 24:
“Hand bills were profusely scattered
last night, even being thrust into car
riages and the pockets of passers-by,
announcing that the sultan would be de
posed today or tomorrow. Consequently
the jewelers, expecting a commotion,
closed their shops today. The meeting
of diplomats yesterday was chiefly oc
cupied with the Zeitoun trouble. There
was an unanimous decree to prevent the
threatened massacre, but Russia's great
solicitude to maintain concord indis
poses M. Nelidoff, the Russian minister,
to acquiesce in any measure sufficiently
vigorous to bo effective. Consequently
energetic proposals were se* aside.
"Baron Von Callce, the Austrian am
bassador, sent a communication to the
grand vizier expressing the earnest and
united hope of the diplomats that no ex
treme measures would be adopted at
Zeitoun. The sultan gave audience to M.
Nelidoff."
Crew in Danger.
London, Dec. 25.—A dispatch from
Kingston, Ireland, says that the English
bark which was reported in distress off
there yesterday is full of water and that
wreckage from the vessel is coming
ashore. The men on the bark are hud
dled behind the deck house. So far all
efforts to rescue them have been un
successful. The Pool berg lifeboat crew
have made several vain attempts to
reach them.
The trawler Sunrise of Aberdeen has
been lost in a gale, wTTh all hands. The
crew consisted of five men.
Ten Thousand Strong.
Rome, Dec. 25.—A dispatch from Mas
sowah says that two battalions of Ital
ian troops arrived there today. All the
reinforcements will be in the field by
January 4. An expedition comprising
10.000 men will then be ready to start.
Ambysslnlan forces are advancing slow
ly They seem to have given up the siege
of Makalle. Some of Has Mangascia's
troops have been seen near Adue. Gen
eral Baralieri, the Italian commander,
is still at Adigrat.
Disasters Multiply.
London, Dec. 25.—The turret ship Ru
pert, which sailed on December 21 from
Plymouth for Gibraltar, has returned.
She had a terrible experience in the gale.
Her turret flaps, which were supposed to
be water-tight, were useless, and tons of
water were shipped. Incessant pumping
for forty-five hours alone prevented the
extinguishing of the fires. The vessel
made barely eight knots.
Accounts of disasters from all the
coasts multiply. _
Twenty-two Go Down.
Halifax. N. S., Dec. 25.—A dispatch from
Newfoundland says it has now been
learned there were in all twenty-two per
sons on the ill-fated schooner Victoria,
Captain Bradbury, believed to have foun
dered with all on board off Cabot island,
on the Newfoundland coast. Among
them was Noseworthy, husband and wife,
and five children. The stem of the Vic
toria has been picked up on Horse
island.
Peace and Good Will.
London, Dec. 25.—The Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Dean of Westminster
and preachers at Christmas services gen
erally touched today touched upon the
Venezuelan crisis. They all deplored the
idea of war, expressed the belief that
such an outcome of the controversy was
impossible, and enlarged upon "peace
and good will.” References to sympa
thetic feeling with the Armenians were
also general.
The Pope Will Write a Letter.
Rome, Dec. 25.—The pope is about to
prepare an encyclical letter on the situ
ation in Armenia.
