Loxpon, Jan. 8.—Besides the forthcoming lord mayor's banquet, Minister Phelps will be entertained previous to his departure for America at a number of gatherings. One of the most important is the banquet to be given him January 16 by the Fishmongers’ company. This company is one of the few old city guilds which really exercise trade functions, one of their duties being the destruction of all fish brought to London that are unfit for food. It is remarkable also among the city com- — for its attachment to civil and religious ake At the present moment the two chief Officials, the prime warden and renter warden, Sir James Lawrence and John War- ren, are both Unitarians, the non-conformists forming a maj ‘of the members. On the occasion of Geribaldi’s visit to London he was entertained by the Fishmongers, and a bust of Garibaldi adorns the vestibule of the com- pany’s hall in London Bridge. romanian MINOR LONDON TOPICS.

On the other side Mr. Landes (Ill.), Mr. Lawler (IL), and Mr. Taulbee (Ky.), who had voted in the negative, changed their votes to the affirmative, under the pressure brought to bear upon them. THE TARIFF BILL. The Senate then, at half past 12, resumed consideration of the tariff bill at paragraph 837, relating to collars and cuffs for men’s wear, and fixing the duty on those composed entirely of cotton’ at 15 cents per dozen pieces and 35 per cent ad valorem, and on those com- posed entirely or partly of linen at 30 cents per dozen pieces and 35 per cent ad valorem.

Special Cable Dispatch to Tue EVENING STAR. Loxvoy, Jan. 8.—Prof. Huxley, as of fisheries, puts forth an appeal in favor of closing certain areas against trawling for a few years in order to obtain definite evidence of the effects of trawling. He laments the ignorance on the subject of sea fisheries, even among the officials of some of the fish culture establishments, but rejoices that in a few years, thanks to the labors of the Marine Bio- logical association and the United States fish commission, something’ like a solid foundation p in the hands of Judge W.

Mr. Farquhar (N. Y.) opposed the bill on the ground that it was an abuse for the govern- ment to enter into competition with private Retiee establishments. The bill was with- awn. Measures were passed for printing 38,000 copies of the report of the commissioner of education for 1887-88, for printing the annual volumes of the astronomical observations of the Naval observatory, to print additional copies of the United Siates map of the edition of 1887, and for the printing of 10,000 copies of the third annual report of the commissioner of labor, giving statistics relative to strikes and lockouts. any price you offer.

Mr. Berry argued in support of the amend- ment, asserting that the tax must come out of the pockets of southern planters and laborers, and would amount to 10! cents a bale on six million bales, or, in the aggregate $650,000 on the year’s cotton crop, while the tax on cotton ties would amount to $1,350,000 more. Why, he asked, should this $2,000,000 be taken from the kets of southern planters and laborers and handed over to manufacturers? Mr. Jones (Ark.) made a statement as to the combination entered into last year by THE COTTON BAGGING TRUST, and said that if the trust had been enabled to increase the price of the existing duty (equal to about 3 cents a yard) it would have extorted ts. 1.

But he had noticed, during the very able presentation of the F peered by the Arkansas Senators, that nators on the other side were reading or writing, or engaged in conversation, and he did not expecta better fate than had been accorded tothe Senator from Arkansas. He would concede that there were as many as 5,000 laborers engaged in the production of bagging, and he would also concede (though he did not believe it) that these laborers were benefited by the tax. He believed that the manufacturers of the bagging were THE ONLY PERSONS BENEFITED BY THE TAX.

Telegraph Lines Wrecked and Orchards 's works is so large Ruined in the North. Watertown, N. Y., Jan. 8,—Reports of dam- age by the stormfof Sunday and yesterday con- tinue to come in. Thousands of valuable fruit trees, shade trees and forest trees in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties were destroyed. Telegraph and telephone wires are down and many poles are broken and some were pulled ott of the ground by the heavy weight of ice and snow upon the wires. While telegraph wires have been repaired so as to afford com- munication south and east, all telegrams to St. Lawrence county points are sent by train. Along the St. Lawrence the most ruin has been wrought. In some cases branch telegraph and telephone wires will not be in use for a week, as the work of repairing will be almost equiva- lent to a new line. TREES BROKEN DOWN BY LOADS OF SLEET. Worcester.

Lonpon, Jan. 8.—Gladstone has written from Naples to the Pall Mall Gazette with reference to his recent telegram, which, as published, read as follows: “The Tablel's version of my letter to the Marquis de Riso toue! the position of the pope is untrustworthy. The statement that I recommend international arbitration upon the Roman question is incorrect under the present circumstances.” Mr. Gladstone, in his letter, states that the telegram should have ended with the word “incorrect.” The additional words, “under the present circumstances,” he says, belonged to # private communication. The demand for Macauia: that Longmans have at last published a popu- lar edition at a price little more than the cost of the paper and binding. Writing recently to a friond who wrote an essay in defense of Ma- caulay, Trevelyan said: “It is extraordinary how the world by the increasing demand for Macaulay's writings shows its agreement with you and how few critics write in that opinion.” Trevelyan proceeds to say he has just come away from a rather rowdy debate in the house of commons and, as sometimes happened, had agreat rush of regret at having abandoned literature for pol a Burglary Near Rockville.

Cause of the Faliure of Keefer Milling Company at Covington. Crxcrsxati, Jan. 8.—The failure of the Keefer milling company, of Covington, yester- day, following so closely on the death of D. Keefer, the senior member. has further sensa- tional phases. The suit brought by the First national bank and attachment made by it to secure its claim reveals that between Decem- ber 11 and 28 last the bank received drafts from the Keefer milling company drawn upon va- rious firms in Philadelphia and New York, it being supposed that the drafts in each case represented a consignment of flour. They ag- gregated about 46,000. Not one of these draits was honored, no consignment having been made. The dishonored drafts were made and presented by George Keefer, the secretary of the company, His father, now dead, was notified of the facts before his death, and there is some ground for the belief that this knowl- edge hastened his death.

New York, Jan. 8.—The stock market was weak at the opening this morning, the declines from last evening’s final figuresextending to 4 per cent, though Pacific Meil and Rock Islas were exceptions, each being up 34 per cent. There was a little more animation than at that time of day during the past few days, but it was almost entirely confined to Reading and New England, which were unusually active, while the general list was dull and uninterest- ing as usual. St. Pauls, Union Pacific, and Northwestern showed some activity, but with Reading and the remainder of the list their fluctuations were made within a range of only 3¢ per cent, while the dealings were utterly de- void of feature of any kind. New Eng] was the only stock showing any movement, and it developed some weakness in the early trading, losing 34 per cent, a portion of which was after- ward regained. The activity even in the lead- ing shares disappeared toward the end of the dull 'and steady, ‘about ‘opening. peioe ‘all an > a ut opening through the Mysterious Crime in Pittsburg.
