——— RACE QUESTION AND TARIFF. How the Two are Bound Together in the South. Gen. Imboden of Virginia was given a hear- ing before the ways and means committee after ‘Tre Stan's report closed yesterday. He proved & interesting witness. Being 2 democrat on the race question and « republican on the tariff, he informed the committee that he had voted for Mr. Cleveland for President under protest. Mr. Imboden said he was a protectionist; he had always been one; and he believed that if from the South there could be a square and fair vote on the protection issue, without any extraneous issues, the protectionists would overwhelmingly carry at least four southern Btates. Mr. Flower of New York inquired, in refer- ence tothe remark as to the electious in the south, whether Mr. Imboden meant that the color line had to be drawn and that the gentle- man had to vote against his sentiments. Mr. Imboden: “We are compelled to stand together there under ceriain conditions. The tariff sinks into insigniticance. In the recent election I voted. with extreme reluctance, the democratic ticket; but I did it.” This reply caused a good deal of amusement in the committee. Mr. Carlisle asked whether, if that were true, the Virginia coal producers could not compete in their own country with the Nova Scotia coal, NEGRO MINERS IN THE SOUTH. Mr. Imboden responded in the negative, and declared that an abolition of the duty would ruin the coal industry of Virginia. Rrocoeded to argue in support of retaining the jaty on iron ore. He represented not skilled Inbor, but unskilled labor. The men who worked the mines in the south were princ pally negroes. Those people had to be pro- vided with work. If they did not receive work they would live on the whites dishonest?y, A negro would not steal if le could get work. Negroes were the best mine workers. They Were practical, industriows and faithful if they were paid promptly and treated kindly. PROTECTION A SOURCE OF STRENGTH. Judge Bowling of Virginia, made an arga- ment in favor of the retention of the duty on ironore. He thought this mutter of protection to the industries of Virginia became one of the most important factors in a dcicrmination of the race question. Farming did not pay in Vir- ginia, and other labor m lied to the Regro.

The Pan-American Conference as Un- derstood by ex-President Caamano. Most of the speeches made in this country by delegates to the international American conference have been so careful in expression that it was difficult to tell just how the orators regarded the convention and its work. Senor Caamano, ex-president of Ecuador and dele- gate from that republic, has been more ex- plicit. At the banquet given at Delmonico’s he made a speech in which he said: “I will not touch upon topics unsuited to this place, or which might be construed into a pre-judg- ment of what our conference may, will or can establish; but perhaps it is not inappro- priate to state that as I understand it, there will be nothing to endanger existing interests. It is only desired to secure advantages for the markets of our continent, improving the conditions of pay- ments and exchanges, without closing the door to others who wili always continue to kend us their productions, for the daily needs of mod- ern civilization increase faster than population. And, besides, the extent of our republic is so vast and <0 rich that they can eventually satisfy the requirenients of the agbole world if we are given the facilities for t and cultivation demanded by millions of leagues of arable soil as yet wild and isolated, Our mission is one of fraternity in its truest sense: propa- gandists of a regime of peace, we form the inks of achain as solid and perpetual as it is | great which unites us and which assures our tranquility and our progress. And it does not depend entirely upon the maturity which our respective nations may have reached, but also obeys the irresistible impulse which commerce gives to peoples and governments. For it is not these latter that give the initiative to economic doctrines: it is those who, by mter- preting the public wants, aid in developing the principle utility, prepare its way, advance and legislate for it under the influence of the rules required by sound judgment and the public welfare.” A REUNION OF CLASS MATES. High School Graduates Have a Pleas- ant Gathering. The class of °85. Washington high school, held its fifth annual reunion last evening in the parlors of the Riggs house. The affair was one of the most suceessiul of its kind the class d was thoroughly enjoyed by the among whom were: Scammell, Friend, Entwistle, leski, Jochum, Brown, North, Willoughby, Williams, Stearns, Taylor, Stahl- necker.

The Cock and Buil Story About Trouble Between This Country and Portugal. iN An official of the State department said to- day regurding the possible troubles between this country and Portugal, growing out of the Delagoa bay railway controversy, to which reference was made yesterday in a New York evening paper, that he was disposed on the whole to regard the story as untrue. He added, however, by way of exp!anation. that last June, when the trouble first began, Secretary Blaine cabled Minister Loring at Lisbon to see that the rights of the Americans involved were amply protected. There has been beyond this, he thinks, no further correspondence upon the subject. WHAT SECRETARY TRACY SAYS. Secretary Tracy said: “I know nothing about Mr. Blaine’s department. This may or may not be true, so far as the State department is concerned, but it is absolutely untrue sv far as the Navy department is ‘concerned, The squadron of evolution went to Lisbon because it was the first of a number of places they were told to visit. They will go from there to Gibraltar and they will continue to put in at different ports until their cruise bas ended. ‘There is no more significance in their appear- ance at Lisbon than there will be at any other Mediterranean or continental port. I will go further and say that there is no international difficulty between Portugal and this country that makes the presence of the squadron neces- sary there, nor anywhere else, for that matter.” WHAT THE PORTUGUESE MINISTER Says. Mr. F. De Souza Roza, the recently appointed Portuguese minister to this country, said: “There is nothing m the controversy that is liable to cause trouble between the U States and Portuga:, There is nothin whatever that cannot be pesccably se through the ordinary diplomatic channels. Representative Darlington Withdraws. Congressman Darlington has authorized the statement that he is nota candidate for re-elec- tion from the Chester-Delaware district. Mr. Darlington states that he recognizes the right of Delaware county to name the next congress- man from the district, and he himself favors the nomination and election of the candidate resented to the people of the district by laware county republican organizatio: declaration is bag sary as being practically equivalent toa declaration in favor of State Senator John B.

Washington: Robert Beall. — Prang’s budget of holiday cards for this season is rich and varied in a degree that could hardly be expected, considering how often the field of suitable conceptions has been gleaned; but it contains nothing which so admirably combines beauty, utility and “local interest as the “Washington Calendar for 1890." A sepa- rate page is given to each month, and each page is embellished with illustrations after ar- tistic original drawings by Mr. J. H. Moser of this city, representing familiar but picturesque scenes in and about the National Capital, It is at once a pretty and useful ornament for the writing desk of a lady or gentleman, and makes a singularly suitable souvenir to send toa dis- tant friend of either sex. — Miss Mary Kennard, a native of Washing- ton, but now a resident of Georgia, is the au- thor of a dainty little brochure of verses called “The Track of the Butterfly,” in which is hap- pily preserved, in simple poetical narrative, the glories of these radiant summer visitors. Inwelodious measure she tells of “The Cap- ture” of the Buttertly, makes the captive ex- plain “Why the Morning Glories Close,” and relate ‘he Story of the Oleanders” and “The Secret of the Corn silk.” — An attractive feature of this week's holi- day nuthber of the National Tribune is a pa- thetic little Christmas Eve Story, in verse, by Col. DeWitt C. Sprague. The ‘sentiment and rhythm of the narrative go admirably together, and the climax is reached in a very natural and effective way. ———see. INFLUENZA’S GRIM GRIP. It Has Got the Whole Country by the Nose. Everywhere except in Washington the influ- enza is spreading. The number of persons in New York and Brooklyn suffering from influ- enza is very large and inercasing. While no instances of death due directly to influenza have been reported, the number of deaths from pneumonia has increased so remarkably as to indicate some connection between the epidemic of so-called influenza and pneumonia, For the past nine weeks the number of deaths from pneumonia have been, respectively, as follows: 57, 71, 77, 73, 72, 66,7, 81 and 95. The last figures are for the week ending December 21. The figures for the week ending to-day will probably be over 100. There is hardly a busi- ness house or an office down town whose force of clerks has not been shortened more or less ja grippe.” Quite a number of policemen and firemen are laid up. The same state of affurs exists in Brooklyn and Jersey City, ‘One-tenth of the people in Boston are af- fected by it. ‘The symptons are more like those of sue fever than like those of the common influenza. Aifections of the lungs are also more bumerous than usual, but physicians do not consider the sttuation alarming. Dr. £.0. Summers, a physician and surgeon of Chicago,who has passed through two epidemics of the disease in Russia, reports that since last Monday he has had fifteen cases for treatment, He predicts that the disease will prevail in all sections of the city. Judge Longenecker among others has the embarrasing disease, Nearly every town in the country, from Bos- ton to Denver, reports quite a number of cases, Senator John J. Ingails, who is at his home in Atchison spending the holiday vacation, was zed with a cold Thursday night, developing id symptoms of Russian influenz The at- ius, however, although it com- peiled Mr. Ingalls to cancel‘an engagement to address a teachers’ association, A later dispatch from Atchison says: The Seuator’s attack of influenza assumed a more virulent form later in the day and he was com- pelled by his physicians to take to his bed. No serious resuits are anticipated, but Mr. Ingalls will remain in the hands of the physicians until he has fully recovered, HOW TO CURE IT, The Philadelphia Medical News publishes to- day an exhaustive article on “In fluenza—la srippe,” by Prof. Roberts Bartholow, of Jeffer- son medical college. After giving « historical sketch of the disease, its pathology and morbid atomy the author says: “The best manner of securing imiuunity is by the inhalation of sul- phurous acid gas daily when the approach of the epidemic renders it necessary, and by taking five gi of saiieyetate of cinchonidine three times a day, and by so living as to avoid taking cold, When the attack has begun it seems to me desirable to give one or two grains of calo- mel at night, inhale some sulphurous acid gas and have th tient sit in a room where steam containing e' rptol can be inhaled in large quan ‘The insufflation of resorcin by dust- ing over the a of affected parts as far as practical is also recommended. “The internal remedy most desirable is atro- phine in solutiou—one grain to one ounce of he dose being from one to five drops, imum being for litile children after the itition, The tineture of belladonna be used trom one to ten drops twice a day. ne is both prompt and prolon on it should be given not more than «day unless the dose be much smaller than is advised above, Saleylate of cinchoui- d quinine should be given asa prophy- et y. The combination of cinecboni- dine ic acid is preferable to quinine, For the depression und melancholy it is prob- able that atrophine will do better, For the distressing headache, joint pains and wakeful- my neti pyril acetanilid, phenacetin and other ge es aud anticeptics will, no doubt be found useful,” : oo CHILDREN THAT TEASE. It is a Mistake Ever to Let Them Gain Their Point, From the Sunday School Times. It isa misfortune toa child to suppose that teasing is essential to bis gaining a point that he ought to gain. A result of such a view in his mind is that he looks not to his parents’ wisdom and judgment, but to his own posi- tiveness and persistency ax the guide of his action in any mooted case of personal conduct; not to principles which are disclosed to him by one who is in authority, but to impulses which are wholly in his own bosom. Such a view is inimical to all wise methods of thinking and doing on achild’s part. And it is even more of a misfortune to the parent than to the child for « child to have the idea that the par- ent’s decision isu result of the child's teach- ing rather thau that of the parent's uuder- standing of what is right and best in a given case, No parent can have the truest respect of achild while the child knows that he can that parent into com planes with the child's THE PRESIDENT’S LUCK. He Bags a Nice Lot of Game on the Potomac. Aspecial to the Baltimore American from Brooke, Va., via Fredericksburg, says that Pres- ident Harrison and his friends are having a delightful time on their shooting trip. After leaving Richland Thursday evening, well pleased with their visit to Lee's old Virginia home, they proceeded in their yacht down the Potomac to Game Point, a reservation owned by the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Poto- mac ducking club, It was late when they reached the Polmt and the distinguished hunters retired and secured a good uight’s rest on their cosy craft. Bright and early Friday morning they were astir and prepared te fill their re bags. It was dark when they started off, and the first person they was ‘an old darkey, whom _ they asked to show them confederate fortifications, ‘The old man escorted them over the locality, never for an instant suppos- ing that he was showing the President the sights. The President and party, after look- ing over the fortifications, boarded their yacht and proceeded to Acquia creek, where they landed on the ducking shore owned by Thomas Peyton of New York, who had invited the President to try the sport in that locality. The (sees was pretty fair here and ina couple of ours the President had a nice lot of plump fowlin his bag. After leaving Mr. Peyton's place the yacht steamed for the mouth of the river, touching at Marlboro’ point and several other points of interest on the Potomac, Last evening they reached the shores of King Georges county, where game is abundant. They steamed up the James river, where they made anchor at Lower Brandon, the historic and picturesque plantation of William Henry Harrison, and President Harrison visited the home of his grandfather. Brandon is now owned by three branches of the Harrison fam- ily and divided into three estates. It is one of the prettiest of the many places along the river, and one of the favorite aud most popular duck~ ing grounds, It is a great retreat for naval officers who are stationed at the Norfolk navy yard, and several parties of them are now gun- hing there, The Harrisons who now reside at Brandon are among the most hospitable enter- tainers in Virginia, and their house is thronged during the winter, and especially around Christ- mas times, with distinguished people. Many beautitul family pictures adorn the walls of the mansion, and the President had ample oppor- tunity to examine the portraits of hisancestors. ‘The weather at Brandon was beautiful for gunning, and before the tugboat, with Mr. | were very easily affected.

There are any amount of canvas backs, red- heads and teal duck in the James around Bran- don, and the sportsmen had no difficulty in finding plenty of game to shoot, soe DEATH FROM SPECTACLES. Hemorrhage of the Optic Nerves Pro-= duced by Improper Glasses. The death at Wilmington, Del., of Albert H. Conoway, an eleven-year-old lad, on Wednes- day, has created considerable of a sensation in medical circles. The boy was an Albino and was of a peculiarly nervous temperament. He attended school and was a hard student. Some few weeks ago his eyesight became impaired and he had @ pair of glasses fitted by an op- tician, The lad wore the glasses constantly and soon began to suffer with pains in the head, which became so severe that a physician was called in, The latter diagnosed the boy’ ment to come from his ¢; and an oculist was consulted. Upon examination the latter discovered that Conoway’s optic nerve had been strained by the use of the glasses and that a hemorrhage of the eye had followed. The lad’s condition grew worse until death resulted from menih- gitis, The oculist, Dr. McK: in examining the patient discovered that the glasses supplied byte optician were exactly the opposite in their powers to those required by the boy, Owing to this fact the hemorrhage of the eye ensued, ‘dhe physicians discussed means to hold the optician responsible for the boy’s death on the ground of malpractice, but as he is only a vender of glasses and notan oculist there seems to be no way todo so, Young Conoway, being an Albino, had peculiarly sensitive eyes, which > BY DEATH.

THEY MAY YET HANG. The Cronin Trial Cost Mlinols About $50,000, Lawyer Hynes of Chicago, who is now in Washington, said in an interview yesterday in Philadelpnia that more indictments were to be made in the Cronin case, “Four persons engaged in the conspiracy have not been arrested nor arraigned—that is,” he said, “they are not yet indicted.” ‘Will they be indicted? (t would be premature to indict them now,” continued Mr, Hynes. “I think that no new trial will be granted, and that a motion for such would be denied. I expect this, because I am satisfied there is no reversible error on the records. In case a new trial should be granted it is possible that the prisoners, who are now to serve life imprisonment, may have the death penalty imposed upon them. “Near the close of this trial we received much evidence as to the Cronin conspiracy which was verified too late for use in that trial. This evidence was confirmatory and favorable to the state, ‘The priscuers hope for a new trial and hope that the governor will pardon them. How tar their attorneys and frionds ean im- ose upon them in this respect I can not say. The prisoners remain in the county jail. where they will stay until sentence has’ beeu pro- nounced upon them from the bench. I expect this will be done as soon as the motion for a new trial is disposed of. O'Sullivan does not appear strong, but in the others I noticed no physical change. The defendants had no money, except O'Sulltvan, who, I hear, raised $2,800 on some property; but they were kept well supplied with funds. I have not stopped to consider the cost of the trial, but think that it will have ost the state abont $50,000, I be- lieve and Isincerety hope that Dr. Cronin’s murder and the exposures attendant thereon will have the effect of showing the mischief that is postible where such an organization as the Clan-na Gac! exists, Such a movement seems only 4 menace end embarrassment to OVER A CONVENT WALL, Two Girls Make Their Escape and Are Arrested in Fast Company. Josie Merrill, the sixteen-year-old girl of Galesburg, Ili., who, three weeks ago, was ar- rested in St. Louis attired in boy's clothes, is the central figure in another sensation, This time she has a companion in folly in the person of Annie Adkins, also a girl of sixteen, whose father was postmaster of Kansas City under the last administration, A week ago the two girls sealed the walls of St. Joseph's couvent in South St. Louis, Three weeks ago Josie ran away from a young ladies’ seminary in Galesburg and was picked up in St, Louts dressed as a de- bonnair dude with a cigarette between ber tecth, Her father, who is connected with the | express company in Galesburg. came to St. Louis and persnaded her toreturn home. aft ward getting her consent to enter St. Joseph's convent.

A week ago they made their escape. They boarded at the St. James, a hotel much fre- quented by theatrical people. So far as can be learned no report was made by the convent authorities to the police. An officer noticed two girls on the streets in the company of two fast young men, and being struck by their youth and beauty and knowing the character of their companious, he arrested them, They | were taken to the stati and there Josie was recognized by Matron Harris, Annie says! ‘nt, aud Josie persuaded her to leave the cou seems very penitent.

From the Baltimore Sun, The epidemic of the “grippe” in Paris and the rest of Europe has attracted attention in Baltimore during the past week to an epidemic among certain bloodthirsty individuals of mal- treating the noses of others, Whether or not this mania isa variety of the influenza grip nobody knows, butif it keeps up nobody's nose will be left to enjoy the grip when it comes, for while the grip has not been falling off to any extent, noses have, and the question may | be pertinently asked, Who knows whose nose goes next? Since so many noses are becoming | divorced from the faces to which they were | thought to be permanently attached, they bid fair to make for themselves a place in weekly statistics, where they may be reck- oned with births, deaths, marriages and di- vorces. Nose statistics for the past week show that the industry began down on East- ern avenue last Sunday, when Mr. Wehner nearly sliced off one pair of noses belong- ing to himself and wile, selecting the one in which his better half had supposably the greater interest.
