Report of the Senate Committee Inves- tigating Our Relations With Canada. Senator Cullom has concluded his report Bpon the investigation made by the committee en interstate commerce into the relations of the railroads of the United States and Canada and to what extent, if any, the commerce of the United States is diverted to Canadian lines, and also whether there is any discrimination in the charges made for tolls against United States vessels passing through the Welland and St. Lawrence canals. The report is now under consideration by the committee, the recom- endations proposed by Chairman Cullom awaiting the approval of his associates. The report states that the good effects of the interstate commerce law are tosome extent Bullified by the competition of the Canadian Hines, Unjust discrimination is made by Canada against United States vessels in Welland canal tolls. which the committee claim is in violation of the treaty of Washington. The report sets forth that Canadian railroads control lines operating in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Indisna, Michigan and Iili- Rois, The report shows that the Dominion of Canada owns a system of canals that has cost 54,000,000, and the Inter-colonial railway, which has cost $47,000,000. Besides these Canada has given to the Canadian Pacific, which was begun asa government line, #215. 000,000, wlule its total cost was only’ $167,- 000,000. UNDISGUISED PURPOSE OF THE CANADIANS. “The Canadian people,” the committee says, “and especially the political party so long in power in Canada, have not attempted to disguise the fact that it was their deliberate and undaunted purpose to secure a railroad | across the continent of commanding influence, which, in connection with the subsidized steamer lines, would beable to dominate the transcontinental commerce of the United States, and to deflect fromf American vessels, American seaports and American railroads a large share of our own commerce with the countries of Asia and with Australia and New Zealand. This has, to a considerable extent, been done already, and the work is still going on. Canada also subsidizes two lines of steamers from Vancouver, the western terminus of the Cauadian Pacific, with 425,000 a year and one line from St. John, N. B., its eastern terminus, with 3500.00. This latter line receives also $300,000 from England. The committee refers to the proceedings of a conference of the com- mercial and industrial bodies of the Pacitic | coast held at San Francisco in July, 1889, the report of which conference declares that “with such special advantages the Canadian Pacific ean afford to quote rates which must drive the American (steamer) lines out of the China trade and inflict an almost irreparable injury upon San Francisco.” ‘The report of the commercial conference also predicts the destruction of the American | steamer lines now running on the Pacific ocean | to Australia, New Zeland, the Hawaiian Islands, the Fiji and Samoan Islands and to Mexicoand Central America by subsidized British steamer lines, forming part of a general scheme for capturing the commerce of the seas, unless the United States government shall adopt vigorous measures for preventing such a national disas- ter. IS IT GOUFFE’S MURDERER? A Man Who Committed Suicide May Be the Strangler of Paris. ‘The mysterious stranger who committed sui- cide by shooting himself on the Willow Brook road last Thursday is believed in New York to have been Michael Eyraud, the notorious strangler of Paris, who has evaded capture for the murder of Process Server Gouffe for almost year. The body of the suicide 1s identical in every important detail with Eyraud. ‘The French consul general, after an investigation, announced last night that he was thoroughly convinced that Eyraud was the suicide. Steps will be taken at once to establish a positive identification. The corpse to have been interred in potter’s field at Willow Brook, but Coroner Wood suspended the interment, ‘There are a large number of Frenchmen in New York with whom Eyraud, under an as- sumed name, associated until a little over a month ago, and the consul-general is positive that there will be no difficulty in deciding whether the body is Fyraud’s. Charles Moran, an upholsterer, helped to handle the corpse when it was found by the roadside, and was struck with the unusual size of the hands. Mr. Dreyer had taken great interest in the Gouffe murder, and remembered that the strangler had big, strong hands. Then he took a closer interest in the corpse and found many points im common with the description of Eyraud. In the New York Herald of March 22 was pub- lished a very fair likeness of Eyraud, which Mr. Dreyer had at home. When the coroner's jury assembled Monday mght to continue its investigation Mr. Dreyer produced the picture and proved to the coroner and the astonished jury that it was identical with the corpse. The Dutch police think the body of a man who committed suicide last month by blowing out his brains on the bank of the Meuse near Maestricht, was that of Eyraud. There was found on him a pocket book containing a large number of newspaper cuttings concerning the Gouffe murder. The initials in the suicide’s hat and on his pocket handkerchief were those of Eyraud, en Liability to Laborers in England. The employes liability bill introduced in the London parliament by Home Secretary Matthews before the Easter recess falls very far short of satisfying the representatives of labor. The present act is exceedingly faulty and has not worked satisfactorily either tothe employer or the employe. During the last three years claims have been made to the amount of £150,000, less than £25,000 of which were recovered. The uncertainty of securing their rights under the uct caused workingmen to hesitate to submit claims, preferring rather to accept what the employer choose to give. The new bili aims at correcting the faults of the recent act, but trades unions declare that while in some respects it is superior to the ex- isting law, in many important points it is ob- weuse and unsatisfactory. ooo An Antiquated Way. From the Boston Transcript. First Citizen—“What are they doing here Row?” Second Citizen—“They are putting in a sewer. Itis a little earlier than it was intended to begin the work, but the street is to be paved, you know, and it was thought best to put in the sewer first so that the new pavement shouldn't have to be torn up again almost as soon as it ‘was laid.” First Citizen—“Isn’t that a crude, unusual manner of procedure? I call it # reactionary, antiquated and senseless way of doing busi mess. At all events it isn’t what I've been ac- customed to, sir, not what I've been accus- tomed to.” Pan ee se ae Legal Sensations in France. ‘The French legal world has, within the past Week, been treated to two startling sensations. During the sitting of the tribunal at Parthenay One of the judges was absent, and a lately ar- rived advocate, M. de Korval, was requested to take his place.’ He did so for the first time on ‘Tuesday, and was to sit again on Friday. On Thursday night, however, when visiting a doctor of his acquaintance, he was arrested for swindling and lodged in & cell adjoining the criminal he shouid have tried the next day. It is stated that he is « notorious swindler and has already served a term of imprisonment for forgery. The other case is that of Judge Moneau at Moissac. whose appointment as judge was noti- fied in the Algiers Official Guzette last Friday. The same day he was 4rrested and lodged in fil for burglary of money and papers from the wyers’ bureau. : <a The True Way to Play Poker. From the Spokane Spokesman.

Provisions of the Measure Finally Agreed Upon by the Joint Committee. The republicans of the House caucused on the silver question, pensions and the federal election proposition last night. The joint cau- cus committee of the House and Senate agreed late yesterday afternoon on a silver bill, Mr. Teller being the only one of the thirteen to oppose the accepted plan. ‘The caucus approved the action of the caucus committee on this question, indorsed the Mor- rill bill granting a pension of $8 per month to all soldiers of the late war who served ninety days and are sixty-two years old. ‘The Lodge national election bill came next in order. Mr. Lodge briefly explained its pro- visions and the necessity of its passage. Mr, Rowell, chairman, of the elections com- mittee, did not believe that it was necessary or pedient to pass a national election law, and mitted as a counter-proposition a plan for | sul ® wide extension of the system, which he asserie cessities. Before action on this last proposition was Present, supervisory would meet all ne- taken the caucus adjourned until ‘THE SILVER BILL. The following is the text of the silver bill | agreed upon: That the Secretary of the Treas- ury is hereby directed to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces of free silver in cach month at the market price thereof, not exceeding #1 | for 371.25 grains of pure silver. and to issue in payment for such purchases of silver bullion | ‘Treasury notes of the United States to be pre- ‘uesday, A MISSING ENGLISHMAN, Circumstances That Look as if the Ben- wéll Tragedy Has Been Repeated. ‘Thomas Kimber, twenty-four years of age, | native of Exeter, England, arrived in Mon- treal from Halifax about a fortnight ago. He | registered at the Grand Central Hotel and | the proprietor states that he hada large sum | of money and a quantity of luggage. On. the day of his arrival he made the acquaintance of another young Englishman named Moffat. | Kimber told Moffat that he had come to Canada to learn farming. Throngh the medium of a London agency he had made arrangements to go on a farm in the west, a portion of which he was to acquire at the end of a year. He furtber said that the Canadian agent of the Lrondon firm was to meet him in Montreal, and was to take him west to his destination. He left his hotel early in the morning, leaving his trunks in his room. That was the last seen of him at the hotel. The same day Kimber was seen at the Canad- ian Pacific railway station, accompanied by ® tall, light complexioned man, who had arrived on a western train. The next morning the two men played several games of cards, and a couple of hours later were seen in an all-night house on Vitre street. From there they took a hack to drive to the Back river, after which the clue to the missing man is lost. As young Kimber in both places named displayed a bie roll of bills, and as his valuable baggage stil remains unclaimed at the Grand Central, it is feared that the young Englishman met his i death at the hands of the stranger. =< a A WALKING LIQUOR SALOON, pared by the Secretary of the Treasury, in such form and in such denominations, not less than | $1 nor more than $1,000, as he may prescribe, | andasum sufficient to carry into effect the | provisions of this act is hereby appropriated | out of any money in the ‘Treasury uot other- | wise appropriated. | ¢. 2.

LIEUT, SCHWATKA’S INDIANS. The Project to Exhibit Cave Dwellers Proves a Financial Failure. Lieut, Frederick Schwatka filed a bill yes- terday in Chicago in which he announced the financial failure of his discovery and importa- tion of the band of Tarahuaria Indians or cave | dwellers, and asks the court to take steps to enable him to keep his promises and send to their home the remaining five Indians *of the band who are still in this country. He shows | in his bill that he entered into a partnership in the enterprise with W. D. Boyce, who was to contribute #3,000 while Schwatka was to put in $2,000. Schwatka alleges that he has spent more than his stipulated sum while Boyce has not contributed the amount due from him. ‘The Indians are now ina museum in Minne- apolis and ask tobe senthome. tis asked that a receiver be appointed to wind up the en- terprise, and that he be instructed to return | the Indians to their home. | It is also asked that Boyce be ordered to render an accounting and to pay Schwatka whatever sums the court may find to be due, oe Sa eerse Married on Horseback. A rather romantic marriage took place on the public highway near Phillipi, W. Va. As Rev. Rohrbough was going to his Mt. Vernon appointment he was met on the highway by Peter T. Reed and Miss Martha McDaniel on horseback, accompanied by several on foot. | The party halted, handed the minister an | official envelope, which contained the proper permit for any qualified minister to make the above-named parties husband and wife, which | was done in due and ancient form. During | the ceremony those on horses remained in| their saddles and those on foot stood in a semi- | circle around. After the marriage and con- gratuiations the bride and groom went to the | home of the groom's parents and the minister hurried on to fill his appointment: A Baltimore Theater Changes Hands. J. W.

They were traveling venders until Deputy Mar- shal Cole slipped the handcuffs on them on Fri- day at Cambridge, Md. Vane traveled by him- self, und was probably the most original travel- ing saloon in the country. Years ago both of his arms were cut off near the shoulder ina railroad accident, and he cannot use the stumps or artificial members. He wanted to earna living and began in this way: A country tailor made a heavy sack coat for him, with three very large pockets, one on each side and one in the back. Each pocket was divided by can- vas partitions into four compartments, holding four pint bottles, which his partner filled every morning. ‘Iwo sets of bottles contained rye and another set bourbon whisky, so that Vane liquor. He traveled around among the farmers, and wherever men were at work le was sure to be found some time during the day. The man who wanted a drink would take one of the bot- tles from his pockets, unscrew the flask, let the exhilarating fluid trickle down his throat, re- place the bottle and drop a nickel or a dime mtoasmaller pocket in Vane’s coat. In this v. Vane says, he often cleared from #3 to 3.50 per day. At length the attention of the United States authorities was called to the mat- ter and his arrest followed. He has engaged counsel, and his plea will be not guilty, as he did not actually sell the liquor. The attorney says Vane is no more liable thana nickel-in-the- slot machine. scot Mee Butter at Five Cents a Pound. New York Special to Philadelphia Press April The stagnation in certain departments of trade is most strikingly illustrated by some- thing which took pluce in the produce market today. One of the largest commission mer- chants in the city told me that his house had today sold a large consignment of cooking but- ter at 5 cents a pound, which was the lowest figure that it had ever reached in the New York market, Similar depression exists in all lines of the produce trade, but it has not reached such alow point in the rest of them | as in this sale. It must be said that our markets, not only in produce but in some other directions, are in a condition which causes very reat anxiety on the part of the merchants, cee Hypnotic Danger. The Medical Times and Register saya: “The most astonishing accounts concerning hypno- tism continue to be in vogue, though, like the ghost stories generally. they are located at some distant point. Meanwhile evidences of the dangers of hypnotism appear to accumu- late more rapidly than the proofs of its value. The capability of being hypnotized is a mis- fortune; the habit enhances the instability of the nervous system which it evidences. The control thus exerted by one mind over another can only exceptionally be employed for good. More frequently, as there is good reason to be- lieve, deception, rascality and libertinism are | apt here to find their opportunity and weak- ness ite desired excuse for yielding. Out of this we see in the future suits innumerable for patients; suits of wh dangerous character the profession will not be long in appreciating if the practice of hypnotism becomes general, and juries become convinced of its reality.” ees eg aah Bismarck’s Boots. From the New York Sun, Stories ebout Bismarck are in order now and here is one which goes back to the days when he was a student in the university. He was in- vited to an evening party where there wasa chance to dance with the prettiest girls of the town, He ordereda pair of patent leather boots for the occasion and gavg the shoemaker to understand that they shouid be promptly done, The latter was very busy, aud, although he promised, like allsons of Crispin, he in- tended to refer the job to some future period, ‘The evening before the party Bismarck came to him. ‘Weil. how about my boots?” said he, “Can't possibly have them done, sir,” was the answer. “Ah, by thunder, I have sométhing to say about that!” roared Bismarck, and he ieft the shop. In about half an hour he returned with two cnormous dogs. ‘Do you see these dogs?” he asked, “Yes, sir. “Well, 1 swear now that if you haven't my boots ready tomorrow evening I'll make them tear you to piecés.” Every hour afterward a hired messenger i came to the boot maker and warned him to | have the boots done, telling him that his life | i | was reaily in danger because the student was crazy and would surely set the dogs on him if he failed.

In point of fact, it may be trathfally said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne Out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tur Sran on the 18th of January, 1590. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circa- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. Whe Star has a targer and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news- Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United Suates I!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, Attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-88, 1SS3. 1SS6.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered dally by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula ton may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tur & a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is heid by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and ftetentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED BF 1885-86-87-88-3a, IsS6, ISS7. 3,200 3,615 3.847 1,669 5,478 56395, A528 B38 3,170 4,517 5,313 5.038 5,083 1889. 4,586 4,528 5,494 3.556 6.035 5.528 4.480 4.604 S588 6.588 6,109 5,793 GEGGTEG EERE TOTAL 41,499 45,910 54,038 54,501 63,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the Year 1889s compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise- ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columas for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returus, etc., such as cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in its patrum age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that im proportion to the extent and high charactes Of ite circulation, Tax Sran's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIB- CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 4N INTEREST [i THELE EXAMINATION
