Ritebie, commission agent, Kingston, Aus- tralia, writes: “For yeare # confirmed sceptic as to the merits of proprietary medicines, I was at last converted by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, For months bottle of this medicine, of which I had come into possession through the kindness of @ friend, remained unopened in my closet, till one night I was seized with a violent cold accompanied by @ racking cough. Huving none of my wsual remedies at hand,I thought of the Cherry Pectoral, and determined to give it atrial The result was truly magical. Relief came almost instantly, and after repeating the dose, certainly not more than half a dozen times, I found myself \horoughly cured. Sub- sequently my daughter was cured of a severe cough by the use of the Cherry Pectoral. I recommend this preparation to all sufferera from throat and lung troubles.” For Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma ‘and Consumption the best remedy is AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL, Prepared by Dr. J.C.

Among the indictments found by the grand jury today were two against Samuel Strong, who for several months has been engaged in litigation with Gen.

The Commissioners Confer With Citizens on the Railroad Bills, 4 HEARING TODAT AT TRE DISTRICT BUILDINGS— BEPRESENTATIVES OF THE BOARD OF TRADE AND OF THE NORTHEAST WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION PRESENT—DIFFERENT BILLS CONSIDERED. The Commissioners this morning gave ® hearing to those interested in the pending bills before Congress having in view the solving of the railroad problem. When Commissioner Douglass announced that the Commissioners were ready to hear what the gentlemen had to say there were present in the board room Messrs, M. M. Parker, T. W. Noyes, George Truesdell and C. B. Church on the part of the Board of Trade; J. Loring Chappell, & C. Clark, Joa, Millard, J. F. Tucker, D. D. Thomp- son, W. C. Dodge and E. H. Brown of the Citi- zens’ Assocition of Northeast Washington, and the attorney of the association, Mr. J. J. Cole- man. Mr. T. W. Noyes said on behalf of the Board of Trade that they had no views to present other than those set forth in their report, which had already been submitted, unless in lanation of poo ee THE CHANDLER BILL. Commissioner Douglass stated that the Com- missioners had before them for report to Con- gress bills numbered 2707, known as the Ingalls bill; 2763, known as the Morrill bill; 3023, the Farwell bill, and the Chandler bill, No. 3277. Commissioner Douglass aunounced that the first biil they would take up for consideration would be the Chandler bill. Mr. Noyes said in reply toa question that the Board of Trade never specificall; passed upon the bill, as is had not been prini when the board considered the general mbject of steam railroads, but he understood that its provisions were in accord with the suggestions of the re] adopted by the board. Mr. Coleman, the attorney for the citizena of Northeast Washington, said that gentlemen present who represented Northeast Washington were in favor of the bill. He said that there Was nothing to say except, perhaps, to call at- tes, tention to the rou! cd @ large map with the He then route which the Chandler bill prescribes for the Baltimore and Ohio road marked on it, and explained st length the advantages claimed for it, He said he thought the Chand- ler bill a gcod one and not antagonistic to the railroad companies, There was, he thought, little hope of getting a bill through Congress if ‘she railroads fought it. THE OTHER BILLS. Mr. Parker then read the report of the Board of Tradeon the Ingalls, Morrill and Farwell bills. The report has heretofore been printed fo Tue Stan. Mr. Parker said that it was his opinion that if the Board of Trade had had the Chandler bill before them for action that measure would have received the unqualified approval of that body, He said further that the plan of tunnel- jing Capitol Hill would impracti- cable, im view of the fact that it would have to receive the approval of both railroad companies before it could get through Congress. There seemed, he said, to be some disagreement between them at Present. He thought the Chandler bill would accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number, APPROVED BY MR. DODGE. Mr. W. C. Dodge, the next to speak, went into a history of the struggle of the citizens to solve the railroad problem. He approved the Chandler bill in full. He said the people wanted this thing settled for all time. The people, he said, wanted the railroads 80 located that the tracks could be taken from the streets, THE FARWELL AND INGALLS BILLS. Mr. Douglass then called up the Farwell bill. No one present was in favor of the bill and no one spoke against it except Mr. Dodge, who strongly opposed it. “Have you = i to ox. Arte ogjpows 3 the In- Ralls bill?” axked Mr. Do 4g soon as Mr. Dodge had fimshed, This bill provides for the establishment of a union depot. Mr. Dodge and Mr. Hine both said that as the two rail- road companies were opposed to the echeme of consolidation there was no use talking about it, Mr. Brown spoke in favor of the Chandler bill and thought it the best yet presented. He said it met with the approval of every citizen of Northeast Washingion. Mr. Parker spoke of the Board of Trade aj pearing before the committee of Congress. He said that a representative of the Peansylvania railroad was present at the meeting, but he bad no argument to answer the Board of Trade’s report. “‘Supy that Congress should determine that the timore and Potomac tracks should not be changed,” said Mr. Hine. — Mr. Parker, “then what can be lone?” Parker said the company could get freight facilities by acquiring ground next to the bridge. A general discussion of the sev- eral routes proposed in the bills before the Commissioners followed, Col. Robert was not present at the hearing. THE TOWN SYMPATHIZES, Archer’s Crime Kills Business Dead in Belair. From the Baltimore American. Alarge number of friends calledon Mr. Stevenson Archer yesterday, but noone was | admitted to see him, Several large palm leaves were left at the house by some friends in re- membrance of the day and large quantities of flowers were sent. No business of any sort is discussed in Mr. Archer's room, and if he asks about any business matter his question is evaded, He has not as yet made any statement in connection with his wrong doing. Just when the matter will be brought before him no one knows, as it all depends upon his condition. His doctor is more hopeful, but he is by no means out of danger. His daughter Daisy re- turned home Saturday from school at George- town. Beluir suffers heavily by the affair. Business is dead and the town looks as if it had been visited by s plague or some other calam- itv. Groups of men stand round the streets talking the matter over in low aud bushed tones. The feeling shown is wonderful. There is not one man in the town who believes Mr. Archer a defaulter, and they all believe the matter will be a out and Mr. Archer will again resume his high and trusted posi- tion. None dare to speak of the defalcation in any way that would refiect on Mr. Archer. ‘There is scarcely a family in or around Belair that is not affected by Mr. Archer's wrong do- ing. One widow had placed her fortune in his | hands to invest. She is now without a cent. There are uumbers of other such cases. So great was the trust in Mr. Archer that laborers and the rer class of people would save small sums and place them in his hands to keep for them instead of placing the money in bank. A laboring man related, with tears in his eyes, how he had saved up $2,300 and had placed it in Mr. Archer's hands to invest. and now that he had lost it, it left him without one cent in the world. So great is the affection of the people for Mr. Archer that there is not one who has been ruined by the defalcation who would not willingly do everything in his power to help Mr. her, He always geverous to a fault, bis business was carried on ina ke d careless manuer. Any one could loose an borrow money from him and he never kept any record of it. Last summer a merchant in Belair went to Mr. Archer and obtained the Joan of $1,300. When paid Mr. Archer had forgotten about it and had not kept any record of it. Several merchants in Belair have large accounts against Mr. Archer. A butcher has @n account of $1,100 agaist him for meat used at Hazel Dell. A grocer has an account of $500 for groceries. Both say they will never pre- sent their billa, the rf [i THR McKINLEY BILL, It Was Submitted Today to the Ways and Means Committee. ADDITIONS MADE TO TUE FRER LIET—WoRES OF AMERICAN ARTISTS — PROTECTION GRANTED WOOL MEN—DOUNTIEG POR PRODUCERS OF STL. Ata special meeting of the ways and means committee today Chairman McKinley pre- sented the republican tariff bill, The minority will be allowed ten days in which to offer amendments and prepare their views upon the bill and such amendments as may be made be- fore the bill is reported to the House, The according to Chairman Mckin! a 4 reduction of $45,000,000 iu the revenaes, THE FREE List. The free list is enlarged by the addition of items proposed in the old Senate bill and by the addition of nickel ore and certain works of art, Paint in oil and water colors and sons ber meee rican artis sochtssh oes gabon tie free list, Raw silk is left on the free hst anda bounty is paid to the producers in this country. The committee thought of putting a heavy duty on raw silk, to © ‘the industry im this country, it having been onstrated the climate and conditions in many parts of vbis country are adapted to the growth of the cocoons, Thirty of the states have made Successful experimeuts, It was however, that there was not enough raised in this country as yet to meet the demands and the bounty system of ment was adopted. A bounty of 7 cents pound is paid for cocoons raised in ie country and @1 per pound is paid on reeled silk. The bounty is to be paid for ten years. This would cost the 000 per year at the present rate of produc’ but oo pd is expected to increase the rapidly. BIDES AND SUGAR. Hides are taken from the free list and put on the dutiable list at 15 per cent. The sugar schedule is as it bas been published—a duty equal to 35 and 40 per cent. A duty of by cents per pound is put on the lesd in silver lead ore, ‘The duty on nails. tops, shoddy, waste, &c., | nas been 10 cents per pound. It been com- plained that a much higher grade is often muxed with this low grade and jet in et 10 cents. To correct this the duty is raised to 30 cents per pound PROTECTION FOR Woot MEX. Avery heavy increase of duty on wools is made on the whole, and it is thought that im- Portations will be reduced by it toa very large extent. Carpet wools worth less than 15 cents per pound are taned now at 25 cents and those above at 5 cents per pound. This bill puts a duty of 3 cents on worth less 12 cents per ponnds and 8 cents on those worth more than 12 cents per pound. Woolen man- utactures of the high ay ~ are greatly increased, The duty on ¢ finest clothe is jixed at from three to four times the duty on the wool in them and 40 per cent ad valorem in addition. OTRER CHANGES, The reduction on steel rails amounts to about @4 per ton. The increase on earth and earthen wares is considerably increased, Lum- ber is reduced from $2 per thousand to @1.50 per thousand. Hewed and squared timber is reduced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent, Some of the greatest increases are made in agricultural Products, The increase is made along the live and it is designed to give the farmers the market for €75,000,000 worth of products now imported, THE MILLS BILL aS A SUBSTITUTE. It is understood that the democrats will re- port the Mills bill—modified—as a substitule, The modifications will be chiefly by additions to the free list, Hides, wool and salt and perhaps coal and pig tron—ail of which New England manufac- turers want free— will be on the free list, MASSACHUSETTS MEN PISPLEASED. The Massachusetts delegation in the Honse are particularly displeased with the bill. Put- ting bides on the dutiabie list has greatly in- censed them. When the duty was first put on hides worked hard and it taken on Now pyten 4 agein end they are indignant. Rumors of Important Naval Changes. Rear Admiral Gherardi, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, is in the city, it is rumored that he is to be given the superintendency of the Naval Academy and that Commodore Walker, now in command of the squadron of evolution, is tobe given the north Atlantic squadron, Capt" Sampson, the present super- intendent of the observatory will probably command the new cruiser San Francisco, The squadron of evolution will return home in a few weeks.
