We extend the time to March 2th, 183 1, by request of the coming Pres- tdent of the United Statea and thou- sands of owr best citizens, some of them ever LIGHT Y years old. PRIZE OF ONE DOLLAR Offered in the interest of the Clothing Trade and Willoughby, Hill & Co. to EVERY MALE CHILD BORN IN THE COUN- TY OF COOK, STATE OF ILLINOIS, DURING NOVEMBER AND DECEM- BER OF 188, AND JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, ALSO THE FIRST FOUR DAYS IN MARCH OF 1881. The giving of this Prize is subject to cer- tain conditions, which we will explain to the “old man.” We will also increase the amount of prize if allowed to name the boys. Willoughby, Hill & Co, have taken upon themselves a great responsibility. Some people say they have bit off more than they can chew; also, there are already rumors that Willoughby, Hill & Co. will jump the city next October. But we are receiving en: couragement from all parts of the world, and believe we can meet ali demands. We understand four new clerks have been added to the Marriage-License Department, but that don’t “scare” Willoughby, Hill & Co. Wewill keep our promise if it takes every doilar that Vanderbilt has got. We are in enrnest, for don’t you see our object? Why, every prize boy will have his clothes bought of Willoughby, Hill & Co, until he is old enough to buy them himself; then he will soon buy his boy's clothes of us; then his boy's boy will buy of us; then his boy's boy's boy will wear clothes bought of us; then his boy’s boy's boy's boy will have his clothes of Willoughby, Hill & Co, .Wecan keep on with these ‘ begats," for Willough- by, Hill & Co. mean to live as long as they can on purpose to clothe these boys, Willoughby, Hill & Co. are light weights, the whole firm welghing but 250 pounds, and they are somewhat known as the “Quickest,” Sleepless," “ Restless," “Tireless,” “Cease- less" workers for customers on the face of the earth.

REOPENINO THE BURJECT. * Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasntnatox, D.C, March 9.—Tho high-tarif? people of the Waya and Bfoans Committes are becoming humbler-minded, and are ready to agree that the House and the peopte hare somo rights in this matter of tariff legislation. To- day Mr. Wood sald that thore were about 100 reventio bitls before tho Committee on which re- Ports ought to be made. Upon this Mr. Carlisle made some very pointed romnarks, and did some exceedingly plain talking, saying that the reas son the Cominittea had lost the cone fiienco of the country and the House was its refusnl to act on just such bills involving preciscly the same princi- ples, and that it would be just as proper to ine definitly postpono all thoso now pending as thoso which had already been postponed. Aftor this clearing of the atmosphere the Committes {n- dulged in some sonsible talk on the various propositions before {t to decredse tho duties on Paper, wood-pulp, type and chemicals, bichto- matoof potush, malt, and salt. Thursday was eot to boar tho atyountor of the reduction of tho duty on salt, and on Friday will bo heard those WHO WANT FREE PAPER, Tho majority of the Sub-Committee appointed on Bugur, Messrs, Carlisle, Tucker, and Fryc, aro‘in favorof reduction of duties, Another Sub-Committee, consisting of Curllsle, Tucker, Frye, Gibson, and Gartiold, has been appointed to consider sugur questions, and tho representa- tlves of Havomeyer and ot Durant, and tho lobby agents who claim to represent nelthor party, hive already returned: to reucw tho complicated arguments on theso questions. On Thursday theCommiltteo will bear thoae who are interested in retaining tho pres- ent duty on salt, and on Friday an opportunity will be givon to the advoentes of tho reduction of tho paper tariff to express tholrvicws, so that tho Comuiltteo has already renowed its conald- eration of tho tariff on sitgar, on salt, and on paper, and to-day the Committee unanimously agreed to a bill to chango the duty on malt from 20 per cont nd valorem to 25 cents a bushol spe- eifladuty, Thisisa compromise between tho brewcra and tho multsters, and 16 really an ins crenao of duty. i HOOP-IRON, There was o discussion in the Cabinet this afternoon of tho morita of tho hoop-iron con- trovorsy, and an opinion submitted by the Attorney-Genernl to tho effect that the Troas- || ury might clasalfy “cut iron" under a specifilo rate of duty. Uuder Schedule E, 2,601 of tho Revised Statutes, aro found tho following pro- visiona: : “ All band, hoop, and scroll iron, from one- half to six inches in width, not thinner than onc- olzhth of an inch, 1% cents a pound; not thinner than No. 20 wire Fane, ig cents a pound; thinner than No, 2, 1 cents u pou nd, AL hoop-iron used Ina varlety of manufact- ured artieles hng beon held to bo subject to this duty, which is very onorous, nsumera have rought to ovado this. by cutting the fron hoops into lengths and boring a hole in ony ond, and have claimed that such pieces should come un- der the following cluasification, same schedules “Manufactures—Artictes, vessuls, and wares not othorwixo provided for, of brass, iron, lead, powter, and tin or other metal, oxcept gold, Bile vor, phitint, copper and steel, or of which elthor of thoso mofals shall bo thocomponent material of chicf value, 45 por cont ad vulorem.” This would nuke tho burden on the consumor of this fron much lighter, and a decision of the Department put hoop-iran so propared under tho latter classification. The maniufacturors of hoop-iron havo been bealeging the Treasury Deportmont since January for a revocation of this ducision, and the result of to-day’s Cablnet. inceting would soem to hive settled’ the queas tion in tholr favor, Mr, Sherman, howover, said to-day that the decision of tho Attorney-Gen- eral was not fiuni, and that tho whole question would have to be passed upon by Congress, a POTATICAT, SPEEOIIES, THY HOUSE: DEMOCRATS BEGIN THRIR CAM: PAIGN WORK. Spectat Dispatch to Tae Chicago Tribune, Wastttnaton, D. ©, March 0,—Tho Demoernts havo thrown down tho gauntlot, and, under tho protenso of consldoring # bilt to prevent tho assossinent of Fedoral officeholders, they have commenced 4 series of campatgn specches. To- day, notwithstanding the fuct the Govornment Printing-Olfice will bo closed in one weok until Congress shall appropriate the $400,000 that was spent in printing at the oxtra seaslon (for which there was nolthor estimate nor- appropriation made), and despito tho furthor fuvt that up- propriation for tho salarica of United Statos Marshals is still not made, Mr. House, of Tennesseo, began a long political spocch of a campaign character, which oocupled nearly the entire day, and the Democrats have decided to permit tho considorution of this quos- + tlon the entiro day to-morrow, Thus all efforts to tako up the Appropriation bills are pugtponed, and the Domoorucy stop to mako campaiga spocches while 1,400 poor printers aud bindery women aro in need of broad. dtr. House's tongue had been dipped iu gall, but thore was NO MLKMENT OF ONIGINALITY or freshness about bisepeoch.

C. March 9.—"'Tho message of tho Presiitent assures the political sccurity of the canal.” A dispatch contalning this ase surance the cheerful Frenchman, De Lesseps, informed the Committee on Interoceante Canal this morning be had sent to his son in Parla, and it would be read in tho French Chambers to-day, Ittsin this confident manner that this wily Uplomat secks to clonk the snubbing he has received here, and to snatch victory from defent. Tho truth {s, Do Lessops’ recep- tion hore wns very different from what ho expected. He found sympathizers nowbero unicas It may have been In the State Dopart- ment, and Mr. Evarts could hardly have given expression to hia sympathy when he knew that whilo ho was holding bis interview with Do Lossops the Prosidont’s message was being sent to Congress. Prealdent Hnyca’ message may have the effect’ to give any canal political accurity, but the " political security * promised by the Prosident is hardly auch political security ns Fronch capitalists will desire. Tho Presidont has reaffirmed tho Monroc doctrine, or, as aDem- ocratle organ hore this morning says, “ hoa de- clared a Hayes doctrine"; but the message has EXCITED LITTLE COMMENT. Perhaps tho most siynificant fenture of tho criticism of the mossago is that the words “hands off,” addressed to Europe, are casily spoken, but that If thore should be any occasion tomnke « physical aasertion of the Monroo- Hayes doctrine the United States would be ina bad predicament, os it Is nbsolutely without an effective fighting navy, It is doubtful whother the most Insignificant European nayal Power could not blow our war-ships out of water, and it would be difficult to find officers brave cnough to risk their lives {n some of our unseaworthy tubs, technically called sloops-of-war. Before leaving for Philadel noon, De Lesseps concluded Be des to ‘tia Belect Gommittes on Intereceanto Canals, and was followed by Capt. Ends, who read paper devoted Inrgely to a general discussion of the resources of modern science, and of its cupaclt; todenl with any problem submitted to it. Tt cun build a tower reaching to the region of oternal snow, or en arch whoso span inay bo measured by miles,” aaid Capt. Ends," If only tho necessary means be furnished." NZ SCOUTED TIE IDEA of a tide- water canal, a8 proposed by De Losseps, on the ground that the wash of the mountains in that country, by violent raln-storms, will fill it with detritus uvery few months, or days even, Again, ina narrow, shallow channel, n vessel would have a tendency to sheer and strike the shuru whenever it ran too closcly to another vessel. This diMoulty was lnrgely experienced in the Sucz Canal. M. do Leasops explained that this was a mistake, and no such rocidenta hnd happened thore, Cupt. Huds thon spoke In adyocucy of his ship rallway, which, ho suid, was foreshudowed forty years ago, when canulboata were first so transported. The cost of such # railway would be jess than one-fourth tint of a tide-water canal, and leas thun balf of a cannl with lift-locks. Timo would be gained in transportation, and many more ships could pass inagiven timo than by any water way. In answer to a queation, Capt, Ends suid that vessels would not suffer in the lenst from the motion of the cars—notéeo much as from the buffeting of the waves. Ho then proceed map of | his in detail plua, i thi thanks _ of tho Carnealites wore eRe ree a, Las sepa, who sald be legraphed the dispate above glven, Do Peeps bolbe asked his opin- ion of Eads’ rallwuy system, EVADED AN ANSWER by saying that he had been enga; a lifetime in bullding canals, and knew nothing about rull- runds, De Leaseps, as the reault of the hearing, has made admisslons that will hardly bo sutis- factory to the French capitalists, who, ho vo ‘assurance in his spueches Inst year, might count upon his keeping their investments out of the reach of American law and under tho operation of tholaws of Frunco. When Mr. Conger, of Michixan, mercilesty insisted - upon asking bim what be meant by his statomont that the adininistrative, Mnanctal, and Judicial atairs of the Company would be conducted In Paris, ho was obliged to adinit that be bad no intention of putting the cunal within tho control of American low unicas a majority of the stock of tho canal should be subscribed for in tho United States, This isa much as toadmit that M. do Lesscps would lke to put tho United States, with referonce to the cannl of Chagres, into tho position into which England was put by him with reference to the canal of Suez, Unfortu- nately for M.de Loasens, this is preciscly what tho Preaidont of the United States, in hfs mea- Bage, very plainly and ‘truly intimates that the United Stutes do not Intond that he shall do, BTILL LESS SUCCESSFUL wasthe attempt of M.do Lessepa to becloud the clear intenuon of his SOrnpany a8 organizod Le him, to reserve to forelyn tribunuls the do- efsion of all questions arising out of the ope- radon of tho cunal,—qucstions in which, from tho nature of the cuse, the coasting trade, a9 well us tho general comumorce of the United States, must be vitally interested. The truth Heit that M. de Lesseps committed himsolf to this great enterprise not only. without talc fairly into account tho views, convictions, an policy of the United Btates on the subject, but really without tuking tho views, convictions, and pollvy of the United dtntes Into account at all, Tho President's message on the interoceanic canal was referred in the Senate to-day to tho Committes on Forcign itelations, of which Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut, is Chatrman, This muy be regarded ua the death-blow to the proposed Special Committees on Interoceanlo Cunals, do- sirod by Sonator Gordon. BECKETARY KVANTA’ REPORT, To the Weatern Assoctated Press, Wasitrnaton, D.C., March 0.—Among the doce uments accompanying tho President's mossuge on the subject of tho interoceanic canul is un elaborate report from Secretary Evarts, in which be sets forth its ontire aiplomars history, tho main point of which is that our treaty with Now Granada fe still {n force, and the canal commu- nication, should it be accomplished in accord- Qnco therewith and with the concurrence of tho United States,—-that ia, in such accorduncoe which under this treaty must bo doomed ossen- tial,—would be to-day under the protection and guarintes of the United States,and both its projectors and tho Government of New Granadn would be authorized In certain contingencics to call upon the Government of tho United States for the fulfillment of treaty obligutions, Indeed, it 4g proper to add that on scvoral occasions tho Govorninent of the Unitod States haa been called on to consider and enforce its guaranteo to the Government of Grenada of 118 rights of Bove erelgnty, proporty, and noutrulity in the isthe mus, Eyarta, in conclusion, describes tho Secretary, charneter of tho 4 responsibilities that tates by rouson of tho devolve upon tho United construction of an interocennio canal through tho territory of Now Grenada, and remarks it well many be assumed that no contract or nego- dutions could by entered into between private projectors and tho Governinent of Colombia, ox- Cope in contemplation of this pouition of tho United States under the treaty, and of tho nuces= sity that both private Interests and public one gugementa involved in the retlance upon tho power and faith of this Government for their protection must be conformed to ita rightful participation and control in any arrangements at my, perivusly ufect tho dischurgo of its alipulated responsibilities.
