C., May 22.—The scheme hat was undertaken to pass the log-rolling Dill to make appropriations for public build- ings on a gigantic plan was unsuccessful in the House to-day. It had been decided that to-day should be set apart for the exclusive consideration of that business, and the House refused to abandon the subject, notwith- standing the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was printed and ready upon the desks of members. But it wasfound to be a much easier thing to set a day for the con- sideration of these bills than it was to pass them, and when the House went into Committee of the “Whole the opposition to making appropria- dons on this extensive scale, under the lead of Bragg, of Wisconsin, organized to prevent the passage of the bill by all measures within the control of the minority. Buceessful recourse was had to filibustering, ‘and the result was that the House was COMPELLED TO ADJOURN without passing a‘single -one of the bills, having spent the entire day in roll-calls. It was urged in behalf of the scheme to con- stract these buildings that the Government wow pays rent which represents a principal very much more than sufficient to erect fs own buildings, and that the amount paid in rent since the foundation ofthe Government is enough to have con- structed public buildings adequate to the Government neces ies at every place where there is a Post-Office. If Congress shall ad- lourn May 31, it will be very difficult for the iends fi Heese public buildings pits: %0 secure their passage unless a log-rolling tombination shall be effected in the last six fiays of the session which can pass them by a bwo-thirds vote. LOG-ROLLING APPROPRIATIONS. : To the Western Associated Pres, TASHINGTON, D. C., May 22—The House tn Committee of the Whole (Mir. Burrows in the char) discussed the bills reported from the Committee on Public Buildings and rounds. . Mr. Cook, Chairman :of that Committee, aid the House had referred to his Commit- gee ninoty bills for public buildings, involv- ing the appropriation of $13,000,000, of which Pimber the Comnuttes had reported back rty-three, involving about $6,000,000. Mr. Brage inquired if it took $6,000,000 to Ddegin buildirgs, how much would be needed $0 complete thein. Mr. Cook replied that that depended upon who controlled the Government. The bills emselves made no appropriation, leav! Ghat entirely to the House, TheGovernmen was paving ‘an annual rental of $1,128,000 for buildings occupied as Post-Offices, etc., and the question was whether it was not more economical for the Government to adopt some system of erecting its public buildings than to continue paying such large rental, - Before the first bill on the calendar had been réad, Mr. Bragg moved that the Com- mee rise, and on this motion no quorum voted. Discusston arose as to whether, the motion having been defeated, the point of “no quorum” could be raised, Messrs. Sparks Clymer maintaining the affirmative of the question and Mr. Blackburn the negative. The Chair azreed with Bir. Blackburn and raled that the point of ‘‘no quorum” could not be raised upon a vote on motion to rise. le Brace appealed from the decision of @ Ghair. The decision was sustained,—1 102; nays, 1,—but the point of “no quorum” was again raised. THE CALL OF THE BOLL showed 212 members present, more than a juorum, but the question recurring on the ecision of the Chair, no quorum voted. It ing evident that no business could be ‘transacted, the Committee rose. Totion was then made that the House Bourn, . Young (Tenn.) suggested that, though fe House might be unwilling to consider s relative to public buildings, it might be ling to dispose of other business, but his suecerion Was met with cries of Regular .

THE ELECTORAL VOTE. DISCUSSING - MORGAN'S JOINT RESOLUTION. Wasnreros, D.C., May 22—In the Sen- ‘ate to-day the Morgan joint rule for count- ing the Electoral vote was taken up, and Mr. Morgan supported'the measure in a speech, ‘In the course of his argument he said the best thing tobe done now and hereafter in Yeference to the action of the two Houses is the Produce just ,as little frictios between mr 26 possible in the nature of resolutions or restrictions.

Their prospect was a mere dissolving view. In the inevitable end the people were going to elect a President who was not likely, by having any act sub- mitted to him at this session, to be called upon to act in his own case. He thought he could assure the Senator from Alabama, 23 bad a politician as he (Conkling) was, a tyro in the art, that THE PEOPLE WOULD ELECT THE PRESIDENT the next time; that the yotes would be counted with sufficient fairness to insure the result which they meant, and. therefore, he was looking with a good deal more pleasure than he otherwise would upon this and various other legislative proceedings all designed to affect that result. It was a fore- gone conclusion, and all of them put together could not, in his judgment, circumvent or confute the result. Mr. Morgan replied that the Republican arty did not want a rule established; they id not want a law enacted. ‘They preferred to antagonize any rule or any law at all, so they could have the advantage perhaps in GARCIA’S GAME. WHAT THE SPANISH MINISTER THINKS OF Ir. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tritnuna. Wasmnoron, D.C., May 22.—In the course of a conversation with a TRIBUNE corre- spondent to-night the Spanish Minister in Washington expressed the belief that, al- though Garcia himself recently sailed from the United States, he did not take any ves- sel of his own with men and supplies. The Minister thinks that Garcia’s base of operations and supplies is in Hayti or one have been received at the Embassy here from the Captain-ieneral of Cuba, from which it is learned that the Spanish authorities knew of Garcia’s landing as soon as it- took place, and he immediately pursued.

Ifa Jaw could not be passed, joint mule should at least be made to endure until abrogated py both Houses, instead of falling by abrogation of oneas would be the pending rule.” Mr. Morgan then finished his argument, contending that the rule, in its principles, had the sanction of the man who at one time had the ear of the people of the United States, or at least of the Republican party, and before whom these Senators, junior anc senior, BOWED WITH ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE, and whose will they seldom attempted to thwart_or to controvert. That man was Oliver P. Morton, who brought forward this same measure as law, and the Senate passed the law and the House disagreed to it when it was Republican. Mr. Morgan asked: “Why did not the ‘Republicans pass such a Jaw when they were in power in Congress? Anstead of doing so they adopted the twenty- second joint rule and had three counts under it, which mado the concurrent vote of the two Houses necessary to admit the vote. Then, when it appeared that one House wonld- become Democratic, and in order to secure Hayes’ counting in, a_ Republican Congress abrogated the rule.” He wenton to restate his objection to putting this measure in the form of law. It brought the question of how the vote should be counted into ordinary legislation of Congress, subject to the approval of the President, who might be an interested party, and subject to all the influences that disturb party legislation.

After describing the present system of storage, Mr. Uillhouse continues: “If we adhere to this plan it will limit the silver we can recei@t to an amount much less than was anticipated when the vault was con- structed; but it is the only one consistent with sate ind convenience. I take the liberty of cailing your attention to the matter, as there seems to_be no disposition in Con- gress to stop the further coinage of silver. If it is to go on at the rate of 32,000,000 a month, the question of how we are to dis- pose of it, with our present facilities, will soon be a pressing one.” MANY THANKS. Wasnrxerton, D. C., May 22.—The British Minister here, under telegraphic orders, has conveyed to the Government of the United States the sincere and cordial thanks of her Majesty’s Government for the generous and friendly conduct in having dispatched the United States ship Constellation, loaded with provisions, which were so much needed, for the relief of her distressed subjects in Ire land, and which, besides being a substantial aid to them, has been accepted by all her Majesty’s subjects asa proof of the friendly feelings entertained towards them by the Governmentand citizens of the United States. THE MINT. The Sub-Committee of the House recom- mends the purchase, for $350,000, of the re- mainder of the square upon which the Mint stands, also additional machinery, and favors enlarging the Philadelphia Mint rather than the establishment of another Mint in the West or in New York. The report concludes that absolute necessity exists for more room and greater security of vaults and buildings than are now afforded. even if it is .not deemed advisable te recommend so large an outlay as the Committee advise. 3 COLOR-BLINDNESS.

IX FAVOR OF IMPROVEMENTS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasntxerox, D.C., May 22.—The House Committee on Levees and the Improvement of the Mississippi River will hold a special meeting next Monday for the purpose of con- sidering and acting on a bill making-an ap- Ppropriation to carry out the recommendations of the Mississippi River Commission. Con- gressman Dunn, ot Arkansas, Chairman of the Sub-Committee which has just returned from an inspection of the river and a study on the spot of the various features of the plan submitted by the Commission, said to your correspondent to-day that the members of the Sub-Committee are not only satis- fled with, but are enthusiastic in their approval of, the recommendations of the Commission. He says there is no doubt whatever the full Committee will next week agree to report favorably a bill appropriating about $6,000,000 to meet the estimates of the Commission for the initial work. The bill will provide that the money shall be expend- ed by the Engineer Corps, under the direc- tion of the Secretary of War, in accordance with the plans and recommendations of the Commission. Judge Dunn thinks the House will sustain the Committee. The fact that the Sundry Civil bill contains an appropria- tion of $150,000 for EXPENSES OF THE COMMISSION and the continuance of surveys. during next year is regarded as a favorable Indication that there is no doubt that a majority of the House is in favorof making an appropriation for beginning the work in question. There is only one pariiamentary danger to be en- countered, viz.: that the opposition may be strong enough to break a quorum, a5 was done to-day to defeat the consideration of bills recommended by the Public Bills Com- mittee. Owing to the Chicago Convention, 2 good many members who favor the proposed improvement of the Mississippi will beabsent from the House next week, and in conse- quence the opponents of the bill which will be reported may resort to the device of ® quorum, If this should be at- of the other Wost India Islands.

Speaker Randall left this afternoon for Germantown, Pa., where his mother, over 80 years of age, is dying, THE RAILROADS. EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. The east-bound freight shipments by rail are still on the decline. It was thought that the shipments for the week ending May 15— 21,165 tons—were about as light as they could possinly be, but those of last week were still lighter, amounting only to 19,8i4 tons, and over 12,000 tons of this were carried by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, leav- ing but 7,000 tons for the Michigan Central, Pan-Handle, and Baltimore & Ohio. tire busin lone by the latter two as in provisions. ‘The grain carried -Handle during the week amounted to only 287 tons, and by the Baltimore & Ohio to477 tons. These two roads were virtu- ally out of the market, because they have so far run ahend in their percentages that they allowed the business to ‘the other roads, which have run far be- hind. Last week’s business by the five Eastern pool lines was tho lightest done in any one week for years, and the managers of these roads are now convinced that there will be no change for the better during this summer unless there is another reduction in rates, They will make.a strong effort at the meeting of the ‘High Joints,” to he held in New York this week, to bring about such a reduction, but as the trunk lines seem to be determined to keep up the present rates it is doubtful whether a reduction will be made, as the will of the trunk-line managers is all powerful in the councils of the “High Joints.” ‘These lines can well stand the present rates as they derive a great deal of business from the lakes at Lake Erie ports, but the five pool lines from. this clty will be driven by such policy to the verge of bankruptcy. The great difficulty from which the Chicago Eastern roads are suffering is that the rates of all the roads in the country are based on the rates from Chi- cago. | This arrangement is equitable enough during the winter months, when lake navigation is closed. But during the sum- mer months the roads cast from Chicago have the lake routes for competitors, and as they are generally much Jower than the rail Tates but little of the business that comes here during the summer is shipped by rail. Thus by compelling the Chicago roads to maintain the all-rail east-bound rates, they are virtually driven from the busivess for more than half of the year. It has often been argued that the roads from Chicago should be allowed during the navigation season to make such rates as will enable them to compete with the lake and get their Broportion of the business, but the jealousy of the roads from other points has already prevented the consummation of such an arrangement. If such an arrange- ment was made the. troubles regarding east- bound rates during the summer would be at an end, as then the trunk lines could kee up as high rates as they deemed proper ant continue to get their large percentage on the business at Buffalo and other Lake Erie ports. It is probable that at tho next meet- ing of the “ High Joints” some such an ar- rangement will be made, as it will enable the pool lines frem Chicago not only to wrest a share of the business from the lakes, but also enable them to meet the ‘rates made by the Grand Trunk, which road, it is be- lieved, is no longer acting in harmony with the pool lines. The’ business done by the Grand Trunk from this point is not reported to the Board of Trade, and is therefore not included in the regular weekly statement of shipments from this port. Thus, the other lines have no means of knowing what the Grand Trunk is doing. It stated that, while all the other Eastern roads were doin; hardly any business lately, the Grand Trunk has been doing quite well, which creates the belief that this road has been giving special inducements to shippers. Should it be proven that the Grand has gone back on the tariff rates,a break in the rates by other roads from this point can hardly be avoided. The following statement will. show the amount of business done by the various pool lines from this city for the week ending May Grain, Prova, Flour,|tonx of|tans of| Totat . bris."|2000tb.| 200009.) “tons.

Commissioner Albert Fink has just issued the following circular to managers of the roads represented on the Joint Executive Committee regarding the election of the Trunk-Line Board of Arbitration: The agreement with Messrs. Adams, Wells, and Wright to serve as arbitrators for the railroad companies represented on the Joint Executive Committee was made for one year, and expires June 1, 1830. Asat the next inonthly meeting of the Joint Executive Committee soine of the gen- eral officers authorized to act upon the ques- tion of the renewal of the agreement with the arbitrators for another year may not be pres- ont, it is thought best to submit this question to’a vote in writing. The trunk-line Presidents and the Executive Committee recommend the renewal. I inclose two copies of the existing contract with the arbi- trators. Will you be kind enough to return one with your vote recorded thereon upon the question of renewing the same. The following are the pias pal points of the agreement made by the arbitrators upon which they accepted their position: “That we assume to act_as arbitrators under the resolution of the Executive Com- mittee of the trunk lines, approved by the Joint Executive Committee on the 23d of April last, and in the performance of these duties we are to determine the method of hearing any question that may be submitted to us for arbitration.” = “That the recompense for ourservices shall be foreach member of the Board of Arbi- tration a salary of $10,000 per annum, paya- ble monthly. = “That the traveling expenses incident to our duties shall be settled and paid for monthly. 3 “That the engagement shall be for one year from June 1, 1879. Bi : “ That the Committee shall furnish at their “expense such accommodations as to room, clerks, stationery, printing, etc., as may be required.” It will be seen from the above that the ar- bitrators have quite a “soft thing” that is worth keeping, and accounts for the strong arguments of Mr. Adams and the other ar- bitrators in favor of the trunk-line pool be- fore the Congressional Committee. <_< THE JEANNETTE’S RELIEF.

THE BICYCLE AND THE TRICYCLE. we writer in the English Mechanic says: A good tricycle is an exceedingly rare thing. The makers, so far as my experience Goes, pay little or no attention to small but important matters, and the consequence is that few tricycles can class over second or. ‘third rate. With a good tricycle the labor is less than with a good bicycle, the motion is far smoother, less power is wasted in shak- ing the rider about, and the strain is, beyond comparison, less. With a good tricycle any rider without daily training may Tide the whole day, day atter day,—a thing that no bicycle rider could do withoutconstant train- ing. The average running speed, in my own experience, is about thesame; but Ican travel twice the distance in one day witha tricycleas compared with a first-rate bicycle with sus- pension spring and roller bearings, the tri- syele having plain parallel bearings to all three wheels. As a traveling-machine in all weathers the tricycle is the best beyond all comparison, partly from the ease with which the ground is covered, partly from the per- fect protection from weather which an um- brella gives. I certainly am not cramped on the tricycle, but in precisely the same position as when on the bicycle. My reason for adhering to the bicycle is a simple one. The motion is rough, the exercise is hard, and the two togzther keep my chronic dys- ‘pepsin in check. The tricycle is easy, smooth, sleepy work. and has no effect whatever as far as my health is concerned. 1 keep a bicycle for physie, and a tricycle for going about the country for pleasure. THE RIFLE. New Yors, May 22.—Yesterday was the last day for the competition for places on the American rifle team for the match to come off in Ireland the latter part of June. -‘The wind biew 2 gule, fish-tailing against the shooters, and accurate shots were difficult. The scores, therefore, were not exempt, but ranged from 211 down to 193 out of a possible 225. A Bos- ton man, J. F. Brown, was at the top of the list yesterday, and another Boston man, W. Hi.

How the Failure of the Reading Road Affected Stocks in Philadelphia—The Squeeze on Operators—Suit, Brought Against the Road on Contracts. "" Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. PHLADELPMiA, May 22,—President Gow- en’s seclusion to-day, and his announcement that the Board of Managers of the Philadel- phia & Reading Road would have no state- ment ready until next week, left the street and the Stock Exchange rudderless, and the heavy decline in first-class stocks showed how .heavy speculators had been caught by the suspension of the Company. Reading stock closed yesterday at 153g, hut, upon the news of the suspension, sold on the street, after the closing of the Exchange, as low as 12. Tnis morning it opened at 10, rose to U1, and fell to 1034 on thefirst Board; picked up rapidly and went to 111%, rising to 12 at one time, only to drop back to bottom prices, closing at 104g. Of course such a drop carried everything with it. Lehigh Navigation, for no special reason, suffered most, opening at 23, against 25 yes- terday, and .dropping at once to 20, from whiclrit recovered all loss and then fell back to 23%, where it closes. Titusville varied only a point, but Lehigh Valley, which has ever ceased paying dividends, opened at 46%, against 49 yesterday, rose to 4934, and closed at 47 bid, with 49%{ asked. Even Pennsylvania fell off to 4834, closing at 4934. So far only three firms have laid down. dan & Co. was a smail howe ‘fatter, Newhall '& Co. were long on other stocks as well as Reading; and James B. Young & Co. were jong on the latter only. None of them had statements tomake. The end isnot yet, for the market closed as weak as it opened. The remarkable feature of the failure is the com- paratively slight effect it has upon financial circles as far as actual loss goes. ‘The: banks will not lose $100,000 in all, for they have all insisted upon ample collateral for loans. The cual trade will zo on as before, for it is uni- versally conceded that the policy of the Com- panies has been to sustain the price as far as _ possible and help trade. Its business never has been better managed than during the past few months. There has as yet been no steps to- ward appointing a Receiver, and no one seems anxious about. the safety of his inter- est. Fortunately the interests and guarantees, of the Company are not onerous, and it is believed it has nota single incumbrance of that kind that is really unprofitable. The Germanto' a aorth Penns A rans, and Boundbrook are now earn- ing more money than the lease calls for as rental, and there are many who predict re- sumption without insolvency or ceorganize: ‘To the Western Associated Press, PRTEADEEPHIA Pa, May 22—A state- ment is made by the officers of the Philadel- pila & Reading Railroad and Coal and Iron mipanies that operations will be conducted as usual, and that there will be no interry tion of business, At the collieries work will be recommenced Monday, and will continue until Wednesday night. President Gowen states that he has no statement ready, and the other officers will not give’ in- formation as to the causes leading to the failure. From an outside source, however, it is learned that the Board of Directors of the Reading Railroad to-day | decided to place the corporation in the hands of three trustees, namely: C. T. Henry, Henry Lewis, and Franklin B. Gowen, Pres- ident of the road. No plan of action has bee decided on yet as far as can be'ascer- fained. There are no fears feltas has been inti- mated that the road passing into the hands of a Receiver would in any way affect the prices of coal. The policy of the road, it is under- stood, even under the new management, will be to conform to all rules governing the coal trade. ‘The tendency at buyers is to hold off until such time ds itcan’ be ascer- tained what the future of the Reading Company will be. It is s#d some of the in- divinal operators Lave suffered heavy losses on what is known as coal paper. These operators loaned their notes to the Company, Which were discounted by the banks. They however, will lose nothing, a8 the amount will be set off against the Company for tolls. In other words, when their coal comes to market they will be credited in payment of freight with the amount of notes they have loaned the Company, The Heading Iron Works, at Reading, of which J. Penn Brock, of Philadelphia, is President, has suspended payment, ow- ing to complications with the Phila- delphia & Reading Railroad Company, being under mutual oblixations. The iron Works own several furnaces, a large rolling mill, tube works, nail works, foundry, steam forge, and sheet-iron mill, employing a large number of hands, They pay out about $80,- 00a month. The works will, however, con- tinue in operation. New York, May 23.—A warrant of attach- ment has been granted against the property in this State of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company. ‘The suit is brought by Francis S. Lathrop, Receiver of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, to recover $45,000 on_transportation contracts. DON, May 22.—The failure of the Phil- adelphia & Reading Railroad Company and the Philadelphia © Reading Coal and Iron Company caused a semi-panic in the Ameri- can railway market. The coal-carrying lines all suffered heavily. Eh LE, “DAILY FOOD.” Betweon New York and Chicago. WRITTEN BY H. 1. FOR THE TRIBUNE. “Made out of tish-skin, ma’am, and it'll keep forever. Cleans beautiful,—espectally the white ones. You can wnsh ’em right off, if they get dusty,” said the enger voice,—a little girl in the doorway of the drawing-room car; and she held up imploringly to our view two roses. Yes, act- ual roses, and not half so ugly ns many one sees which arc made of wax,and kept under glass cases: a red one and a white one, each bedded in some sort of artificial and improbable green. “No, thank you,” we said hastily, and she turned away disappointed; and we remembered, too Inte, how very few pennies it would have taken to buy one of the fish-skin roses, and how easy it would have been to make the next poor wayside cnild happy by giving it toher. After ail, they did look a good deal like roses; and who has not often felt that, if roses would ‘keep forever” and “clean beautiful,” they would be worth even more than they are? It was partly Mr. Pullman's fault that we did not buy the poor little girl's rose. We. were ab- sorbed inthe admiring study of a novelty still greater than a rose made out of fish-skin,—i. e., astationary washstand In the drawing-room of a Pullman sleeper. it looked at drst sight like amere freak of wooden decoration in shape of 2small, round table; but close inspection showed. that the top could be lifted up, and lifting it up revealed a shining basin with all the usual ap- purtenantes of its sort. “The one thing needed,” wo exclaimed, “to complete the comfort of the drawing-room." Henceforth long journeys in sieeping-cars have no terrors: that bootless struggle to get up first in the mornings is dono away with. You can take your time and your leisure as you are in tho habit of taking them in your own bedroom atbome, and can wash your hands as many times 4 day as you like, without the humiliating preliminary of a tottering and clutching pil- grimage through the entire length of the car. The double drawing-room curs formerly af- forded the climax of sleeping-ear comfort; one felt that. when » door from bis bodroom opened into a small bath-room- and dressing-room, which he was culled upon to share with no one else except the occupants of the opposit draw- ing-room, he had great cause for thanksgiving; but the double drawing-room cars seem to be gradually disappearing from our long routes, and a saddening rumor bus been circulated that Mr. Pullinun bas determined to build no more of them, Theretore, this innovation of the stationary washstand is to be hailed with all the more gratitude and joy. They can be easily added to the drawing-roonis already built, and, no doubt, will be; and then, 1t is difficult to see what “new worlds” will remain “to be conquered” in the line of comfortable inventions by Alex- ander of car-builders, Mr. Pullman. Worthy, also, to be chroniclod as an Alexander in the conquest of ruilway-comfort is any rail- wway-manager who hus the comprehension to percoive thut two-thirds of the fatigue and dis- comfort of rallway-travel proceed from the fact that ratlway-travelers are either ill-fed, irregularly fed, or not fed at all. Shut aman up in the most luxurious house imaginable for twenty-four hours, and give him no other dis- comfort whatever than the being obliged three times in the course of that twenty-four hours to bolt out of his house into a railroads restaurant, and, under the pressure of nervous terror lest he do not eat on time, and a nervous horror of the methods in which sixty people are eating around him, at- tempt to make a meal of bad bread, bad butter, tasteless meut, unrecognizable vegetables, and avements of pic.—and that man would be both irritable and illat the end of his day; and this without any added discomfort of jar of motton, dust, or boys with bananas to sci. The only alternative the American traveler has from this aggregate of miseries is to carry his food and drink with him; this is burdensome always, and often simply impossible; therefore the best gratitude of the great army of travelers ig due to the railway-management which feeds as well as transports its passengers. The hotel- car is tho natural comptement of the drawing- room car. To add to a good night's sleep a breakfast, to follow a morning’s some ride by a good lunch, and to go to bed comfortably at night after a good dinner,— who can tell how much it reduces the fatigue, the general wear and tear, of a long journoy? Noone! Because itis precisely this ‘class of Tosses and sains which are unreckoned and only half-appreciated in the average man’s views of life and living. Few people apprehend fully that, ns often as they are overtired, they make an instintancous draft. paid “at sight,” on their procious capital of reserved foree,—that capital ‘on which we all draw recklesly, 28 if we were millionaires, whereas in nature there is no such thing us a millionaire.

All of which is a sermon preached to no pur- jose to the majority of the American people, ut a sermon which follows'spontaneously. well nigh inevitably, on the text of the hotel-car. ‘When this way of feeding travelers becomes the rule, and not the exception of rallway-travel, one good stride will have been taken toward the tegroved heulth of a large part of our popula- ion. ‘Two nights and a day of such comfort as this we had between New York and Chicago, on the New York, Luke Erie & Western Railroad.

THE REY. HANDFORD. The Charges Againat Him Not Trae— Unanimously Requested by His Con- gregation to Withdraw His Hesignas tion—He Consents, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Toronto, May 22.—The Handford investi- gation came to a close to-night. The Com- mittee appointed to make inquiries submit- ted toachurch meeting about 100 foolscap pages of evidence. In reviewing the evi- dence the Committeo have arrived at the conclusion’ already foreshadowed in Tue TRIBUNE that the evidence adduced does not bear out the charges made against Mr. Handford. That gentleman also sub- mitted in writing his defense, in which he denies in toto the whole of the accusations ut forward. concluding his letter with the following bold expression: “I would sooner be in hell with friends I love, than in Heaven with some men I know.” At a meeting of the congregation, a motion was unanimously passed asking the reverend gentleman to withdraw his resignation. . Handford was sent for, and, finding the meeting unan- imous on this point, he consented todo so. He will resume his pastoral functions to- morrow. IN FOR BUSINESS. The B. & 0.°s New Fast Line to Washs ington and the East. The Baltimore & Ohio is now in for bus ness, and no mistake. Its first fast train under the new schedule leaves. to-night, and reaches Washington to-morrow evening, the entire train running through. This is a lively shortening-up of time, being eleven hours quicker than thatmade by any other Toad out of this city. Relatively, the same great saving of travel is made to Baltimore, while to Philadelphia, New York, and Boston the time equals that made by the fastest train on any other road. To do this the splendid track of the Baltimore & Ohio has been carefully and most thoroughly gone over, and now its stone ballast, iron bri is and perfect system is of the safest and best in the world. That the equipment may cor- respond with all other improvements, .the Janney patent-coupler platform has been placed on all passenger-coaches, thereby in- suring absolute safety and at the same time greatly enhancing the smooth and steady movement of trains in motion. ‘The eating- stations on the line, all of which are owned the B. & O. Company, have of Jate been thoroughly renovated, largely refurnished, and every arrangement m: de for supplying the tables with all the solidities as well as the delicacies of the market. They are now under the supervision of a practical hotel man of largeexperience. In short, nothin, has been left undone to make the old Balti- more & Ohio Road the model, as it has ever been the picturesque, line of America. ANOTHER OFFICIAL OPINION. ‘The Hon. Julius S. Clarke, Insurance Come missioner of Massachusetts, has recorded himself against the “‘ Codperative” or “As- sessment” scheme of trying to insure homan lives without money or experience, in the following telling words, The extracts are from his official reports: “The ‘Mississippi Scheme’ concocted in France, the bullp rock mania in Holland, and the ‘South Sea Bubble’ in England, gigantic mushroom speculations of the seventeenth and eighteenth _centuries,—pretended schemes for embodying the wealth of the globe in a few favored hands,—have a fitting counterpart (upon 2 smaller scale) in the brood of codperative fledglings} which, un- der specious garb and beneticent pretense, are just now imposing their sophis- tries upon human credulity. Scareely had the present Commissioner entered upon his duties, when, by urgent solicitation, bland- isbly sugared with unmistakable hints of large pecuniary emolument (a fortune or two for a poor man), an effort was made to secure for these myths the prestige of official recognition and sanction, or to purchase in lieu hereof the silence of the Department, insuring its tacit consent to the evasion of law and the robbery of the people. It is needless to say that the cool and impudent Proposition met with prompt and deserved attention. “As a substitute for pure and genuine life insurance, the whole codperative scheme Is a wretched failure, unworthy of a moment's consideration, and would have received no mention here but for the clandestine and la sistent efforts of its manipulators to foist its fallacies upon the people of the Common- wealth, especially those in possession of moderate means, who are least able to suffer Joss, and who are most easily victimized.” In the nineteenth annual report he says: “This Department has long been and still is greatly embarrassed by the frequent at- tempts to impose this ‘ative fallacy upon the community, and alt the more so be- cause they are often made by people of most excellent paeeacions and unimpeachable re- spectability. re the longer each asssociation continues in existence the greater will be its number of deaths, and accordingly the more frequent its assessments. Fewer new members will join the society. The inevitable consequenco Will be that the longer a member’s death is deferred and the greater the amount of his contributions or assessments, the smaller will be the sum received by his nextof kin upon his decease.” CLOSED UP.
