Apectal Dispatch to The (hiengo Tribune, Wasttnatos, D.

"1 do not wish to shake hands with you, sir,” said Mr, Webb, “ [look upon you ns I look upon a Rebel, and consider you a traitor to the best interests of yourconntry.’ Capt. Cadman made a sharp reply, but the bystand- ers interfered, and peace was restored. STRONG HIGH TARIFF ARGUMENTS were made by Henry Winsor, of the Phita- delphia Board of Trade, Chatrman of, tho Boston Committee; William I. Webb, of New York, who failed to establish asteam- ship fine; Adams, of the Cleveland Board of Trade; Jolin Roach, tha stiipbuilder; Os borne, editor the Natutcat Gazette: Ward, of Ward's Havana Line; and Dall, of New York.
