D.0©. TH spoliation to declare in the democratic state convention of New York, which assembled in Saratoga on the 16th of’ September last, to do his will and register his decree, that the democratic party of the state of New York, in convention assembled, renewed the pledge of its fidelity to democratic faith and denounced in terms “the Blaine reciprocity humbug.” These vicious attacks upon the measure at the bands of democratic newspapers and lead- jets had bad their inevitabie result; they had weakened the eifect of the measure abroad, of American negotiat strengthened the hands of foreign governments, ievous, unpatriotic and were meant y in their effect, both, at home and EFFECTS WITH VARIOUS COUNTRIES. ‘Mr. Hale went on to state the elfects of the reciprocity arrangements made with Brazil, Cua and Porto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Germany, the Hawaiian Islands and the British West Indian colonies. As to Brazil, ho said that the increased -trade with | that country of nearly $2,000,000 in the last seven or eight months indicated uner- ringly that the United States would under that | arrangement maintain a trade with Brazil that bring American exportations to that try nearly or quite up to the im- pertations from it, As to Cuba, he said that the passage of the reciprocity pro- vision in the tariff bill brought the Cuban sugar planter face to face with the question whether new advantages should be given to the trade of the United States by him or he should sce his own industry ruined and his plantation abandoned. When that negotiation was opened the representatives of the State Department found the Spanish government fully impressed with the belief that the power given to the President by section 2 of the tariif act would never be enforced. ‘THE TREATY WITH SPAIK. All of the arguments originally advanced against the amendment and the articles in democratic newspapers predicting that nothing would come of it had been carefully gathered by the Spanish authorities, and the United States “negotiators were told __ that Spain and Cuba had expected the benetit of free sugar without being obliged to give anything im return; but when they were as- sured that the President would carry the law into execution in good faith, the Spanish gov- ernment at once entered’ upon the nego- tiation of an arrangement which cul- minated in a treaty having two scts of Provisions.

Hale on the agreements to an in! r the tariff with all information ehange of trade and act of October 1, 1500, received aa to practical effect of such sgreements, was taken up and Mr. Hale addressed the Senate on that subject. He hoped that e present happy subside vould not feel 1: to of the war ncte @ their attention called to peace. The answer to his resolution would furnish the information in detai!, but he was already possessed of infor- mation end facts sufficient (ie believed) to tify him in setting forth something of the tors of the reciprocity movement, the help- ing hand which it had received, the delays and hindracces which bad been put in its pataway in certain quarters and the tangible results up to the present time. After a brief review of the reciprocity leg- islation. in which it was stated that the basis of the original amendment to the tariif act was tion of the sugar duty tii reci s could be negotiated.atid that wh basis waschanged aud the repeal of the sugar duty became a tixed fact it was difficult to see what other plan than the Akirich amendment could have been devised, Mr. Hale weut on tosay that the people of the United States had given & generous welcome to the reciprocity scheme irom the moment that it appeared in Congress. and that no mea-ure of the present administration had received more hearty sup- Port than it. In fact, repeated “expressions of bli favor had been needed before the: pro- Jeet foand favor in certain quarters BOARDS OF TRADE FAvoR IT. Inflasnces emphemeraliy potential in the re- ublican party had been arrayed against it, bat all that bad disappeared when expressions with favor came pouring in during the summer aud early fail of 1500 from boards of trade and Commerce, from district and state conventions, and indeed from ail the places where the people gathered together to discuss and commend the Feciprocity plan. Attempts had been made in certain quarters to show that the reciprocity plan was opposed to and interfered with the §reat doctrine of protection to American labor, to which the republican party was fally com: mitted; but ali that had disappeared when it was seen by the peopie that what was compre- bended in the scheme was an increased trade with countries that produced articles which we could not purchane products of our farms and manufactories, which our southern produce.

Tho great merits of other parts of the Me-| Kinley bill would have sunk under a sea of abloqvy sau would never have been seen and appreciated if the reciprocity clause had not Kept the whole structure from going down. WAMPEMED IX THE BEGINNING. In the first attempts at negotiations the Pres- Ident and the Secretary of State found them- selves hampered and hindered by the position af the opposition from throughout the coun- @y. It was alleged by the newspapers that this power would never be car- tied} into eect: that uo President would venture to reimpose duties sogar and other articles afte been aduitted free. The mocratic newspa- pers claimed that no foreign nation would ne- Gotiate n treaty or give the subject attention, Because tho mearure Was @ partisan oue and pert of an offensive tariff uct, which at the first change of partics would be repealed. It was also coxtended that the measure was unconstitutional in conferring legislative power upon the President for the imposition of taxes in his owu discretion. Evidences appeared showing cioarly that the entirely free. Lard, which bad been sent to Cuba to the extent of nearly $2,500,000 a year under a duty of 43g centsa pound, was now admitted free. The exportation of lard would now be increased enormously. So also with fish (fresh and salt), oats, barley, rye, cotton- seed oil, bay fruits (fresh and prcyerved), vege- tables, all kinds of wood and lumber, wagons, sewing machines, raw petroletm and coal. Then, as’ to flour, the duty, which had’ been $5.64” per _ barrel, (equivalent to prohibition) had been reduced to about ninety centsa barrel. With this small the cheapness of American flour and the advantage in freights by nearness of the et this country was given a complete of the Cuban flour market industry of the Spanish wheat nd miller had been in destroyed. ‘The added trade gained with Cuba alone on this would prove the wis- dom of the reciprocity feature of the tariff act of 1800. ‘The same results applied to corn and cornmeal, tho duties of which had been reduced from 66 cents per 100 kilograms to 11 cents, nuking it @ mere nominal tax and giving to the Cuited States complete control of the mar- ket in these articles THE POLITICAL FUTURES OF SPANISH ISLANDS. The good effects of this treaty touched the political futures of these islands of the Span- ish main as well as the commercial future. ‘The control which under this treaty the United States would have of the commerce of Cuba would lead more largely to the in- vestment of American capttal in that island. It would attach Cuba more and more to the United States. It would make it less depend- ent upon Spain and less valuable to her as_@ colony, because heretofore it bad been kept largely as a market for Spanish goods. When Cuba coased to have commercial or financial value for Spain the in- terests of that country in its possession would diminish and Caba would naturally attain inde- perdence or become a part of the great United States system. Leciprocity with American re- publies and American colonies brought them all nearer to the United States in every way. In reply to questions from Mr. Vest Mr. Hale explained that the new treaty with Spain would not take full effect until July, 1392, but that in the meantime there was a transitory arrange- ment in force. ‘THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. As to the Dominican Republic, Mr. Hale said that although its trade was small it was important that that republic should be included in the scope of the new treat- ies. ‘The fourth reciprocity arrangement, he said,had been concluded with Germany end as important both in a commercial anda po- litical and acommercial view. A reduction of duty ona very important lst of American agricultural products bad been obtained. One itamedinte effect of the reciprocity provision of the tariff act, so far as Germany was concerned, in the power given to the President to levy duty on German eugar was to bring about an agreement removing the prohibition on American pork into Ger- man ports in September last, and this had been followed = by Sweden and Norway, Denmark, France, lily and Ausiria. £t was here as in Cuba and in Brazil that the tre- merous leverage of the power of the President te reimpose the duty on sugar bad worked one exception) of a decision of the chair being overruled. ‘That exception was a case when a temporary Speaker, through a mistake, de- livered an incorrect decision. As appeal was taken and the House sustained him. When he realized what he had done the chair had, in a manly way, rectified his mistake, ‘This left the House ina bad shape, but left him all right. (Laughter.] Perhaps the democrats thought that by hiding their heads in the sand they zendered them- selves invisible. Perhaps they thought that by entting themeclves off from action they ‘could go to the ple with the declaration that they had done nothing because they were prevented by the rules. ‘The ma- jority was responsible not only for what hap- pened, but for what did not happen. [Applause on republican side.) WHY 28. MUMILEIN 18 HAPPY. Mr. McMillin of Tennessee said that if there wasone thing that made him happier than another it was that the gentleman from Maine no longer occupied the Speaker’schair, and that his party was in a hopeless minority. The democrats were here at the old stand doing business, and the places which had recently known the republicans would know them no more forever. [Democratic applause.] Sees | THE ANACOSTIA RAILROAD. Hearing by the Commissioners as to the Extension of Its Tracks. ‘The Commissioners heard those interested in Senate bill 2786 to amend tho charter of the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad. The amended bill authorizes the said company to lay tracks from the intersection of its tracks on 6th street with B street north along 6th to F; along F to llth street west; along and with the line of 11th street to B street north; along B to its tracks on B near Center Market. Mr. Wm. A. Cook was the only objector to the propoved bill. He was opposed to any railroad ocenpying 6th street from D to F, as the roadway was quite narrow and its destruction by a railroad would render ground abutting thereon practically valueless as residence prop- erty. Commissioner Douglass suggested that the road use the tracks ot the Metropolitan Toad on 5th street and Mr. H. A. Griswold, who was present, stated in behalf of the company that such an amendment was unobjectionable. To SELL THE OLD METHODIST CEMETERY. Ata joint mecting of the trustees of Fourth Street M. E. Church and the lot and site hold- ers of the Methodist cemetery, situated oppo- sito Congressional cemetery and owned by the above church, a resolution was unanimously adopted that the cemetery be sold and the dead removed to Congressional cemetery. ‘Ihe deed to this property stipulates that it ehall forever be used us a cemetery, and before the ground can be sold the cous Congress must be obtained. Senate bill provides for thisand Rev. Wm. Ai. Fergusoi R. W. Dunn appeared before the Commission- ers this morning and urged their favorable consideration of that bill, which is now before them for report. MISCELLANEOUS. ‘Thomas McMahon has been appointed an in- spector and W. H. Carpenter a draughtsman in the engineer department. See UR CORPORAL QUINN’ STORY About the Food Given to the Marine Corps— Corp. Eichler’s Complaint. The court of inquiry that has been in session atthe navy yard forthe past week was con- tinued today and several witnesses were placed upon the stand to testify as to the condition of the rations and the quarters furnished the men in the marine corps. ‘The first man placed upon the stand today was Corporal John Quinn, who told the story of the time when the pork was badly served and some of the men got only fat while others got nothing but lean. He was asked if he had made any more complaints and answered that at the time of Maj. Nicholson's investigation he had complained in regard to the food, which was not cooked properly and Was not sufficient in quantity. At the present time he said he had no complaint to make ubout his food or quarters during his entire stay at the post. He said that he had never made any attempt whatever to ascertain what he was itled to in the way of food. The captain, he said, was always patient with men who came to him with complaints. Corp. Karl Eichler, who was the next witness, said that he made one complaint to Maj. Nicholson in regard to being supperless for two nights, December 21 and 28. The supper con- ‘ed of three slices of head cheese, which was tainted to such an extent as be unfit to eat. On the first occasion he said nothing about it, but on the second he complained to the acting otticer of the day, who in turn notitied the commanding oft ‘the latter came up to inspect it, and said that he had never ordered it and that it must have come through some mistake. On those two oc: sions the table was supplied with bread and coffee in addition to the head chevse. Ther had been, he thought, other grounds for complaint, but all tho rest of the command were satisfied and he did not wish to be iooked upon as a kicker. As to quarters, Corp. Eichler suid he had yg complaint to make, as they were better those at League Island, where he had served before coming to the navy yard here. ————_-e-___—_. How He Got a Watch.

Mr. MeMillm (Tenn.) took the floor and made a speech inf support of the proposed rulec. He had been speaking but a few min- utes when Mr. Pruden, one of the President's secretaries, Was announced and presented the President's supplemental message upon the Chilean difticulties. ‘The message was not immediately laid be- fore the House, the Speaker withholding it in order to permit Mr. MeMilliu to conclude his remarks. wing the whole code of rules, jevoted the greater part of his liscussion of the so-called Holman : Ip the past that amendment had resulted im a large saving of public expendi- turesand in the enactment of laws greatiy beneticial to the people. APPLAUDED IN THE HOUSE, Mr. MeMillin having concluded the Presi- deut's message was laid before the House and read by the clerk. Its reading gave rise to some «pplavse, and then at the suggestion of Mr. Blount (Ga.) the accompanying documents were read. ‘The documents were listened to with the closest attention, and when, on motion of Mr. Blount, they, with the President's message, were ordered printed and referred to the com: mittee on foreign affairs, a breath of relief ran through the chamber and the members broke into hearty spplause. ‘ME. REED OPPOSES THE BULES. The discussion of the rulos was then resumed, Mr. Reed (3te.) making a wpecch in opposition tothe report of the committee. He favored tie rules of the Fifty-first Congress, and pro- claimed bis adherence te the doctrine ef major- ity rule. ile believed in the rule of the majority even when it had been chosea against the views which he himself entertained.

He had been sick but a few days, and his case was not considered serious up to last night, when pneumonia set in. Mr. Strong was a deaf mute, born in Rut- land, Vt, and educated at the Hartford Asylum and the New York Institution for the Instruc- tion of the Deaf and Dumb. On November 1, 1862, he was eppuinted a clerk in the oftice of the ‘register of the treasury, where he had been employed for nearly thirty years. His abilities were soon marked by promotion, and it is doubtful if any other deat mute has ever held a higher position in the department.

Only 9 Few of the Youne Hotheads Are in Favor of Force. ‘The text of Chile’s reply to President Harri- son's ultimatum has not yet been made public at Santiago. © It is awaited on all sides with in- tense interest. The substance of it has already been indicated m the Associated Press dis- Patches from there and this, so far as can be learned, meets with general approval on the part of the intelligent classes. The news that President Harrison had sent a special message to Congress on Monday relat- ing to the points at issue between the United States and Chile, and the dispatches published at Suntiago on Tuesday and yesterday describ- ing the attitude of the American public toward the matter, have caused no iittle popular ex- citement there. The Baltimore incident, the President's ultimatum and message and the dan- gerous tension ‘of the relations between the two governments have been the sole topics of conversation in all Chilean circles. They domi- nate the newspaper columns to the virtual ex- clusion of all other questions. ‘The younger and hotter-headed portion of the public continues to indulge in much war talk. Rather than have their government ac- knowledge its fanlt or apologize for its utter- ances, these young ‘patriots declare that they wonld prefer to see « resort to arms. Such talk as thix, it is believed, reflects the opinion of a large element of the common people. ‘The naval officers are reported to be much stirred up at the thought that they may be called upon to salute the stars and stripes. They §0 sofar us to say, according to the reports published in yesterday's Santiago papers, that they would see the Chilean fleet sunk before they wonld salute the American flag. ; Whatever the government may say officially in withdrawing the offensive note of Senor Matta of December 11, there dre abundant in- dications that Senor Matta’s popularity will not inany waybe decreased beoause of hisauthorship of that now famous dispatch. Instead, it looks very much as though this wes the most popu- lar act of his administration of the department of foreign affairs. While the cabinet bas been deliberating upon the precise form of language in which to apologize to the United States for Senor Mutta’s discourteous and undiplomatic performance preparations bave been actively going on by a commitieo of jeading citizens to honor Senor Matta with a grand and imposing banquet. ‘This will take place next Saturday and promises to be a brilliant affair. CONDUCT OF A BALTIMORE OFFICER. The Baltimore Heraid publishes the following ‘today: During the time of the cruiser Baltimore's lying in the harbor of Valparaiso the*chief executive officer of the cruiser was in the habit of sending daily press dispatches to a New York newspaper. ‘These dispatches gave the news of the doings in Chile and were uniformly in praise of the Dalmaceda government, and predicted its ultimate victory over theindepen- dent party. By some manner Commander Schley was made acquainted with the fact that his execu- tive officer was the paid correspondent of a New York newspaper, whereupon he con- fronted that individual and laid before him the information, asking him for denial or the admission of the unwise act. The officer plead guilty. Commander Schley then suspended him for ten days and ordered him to bis quar- ters. After the elapse of the suspension the officer was released and reinstated in his rank as ex- ecutive officer. Commander Sebley has been summoned from San Francisco to appear before the Secretary of the Navy in relation to the matter. Itis well known that the instructions of Commander Schley to his officersand men have been to the sole effect that at no time, either by speech or act, should they give any ex- pression for the Balmacedists or independents while in Chile. DON’? LIKE TO SALUTE OUR FLAG. The New York Evening Post printed the fol- lowing yesterdey: “The following was sent to Valparaiso at 11:45 a.m, today: ‘Telegraph any political news respecting Chile and United States.’ The following was received in reply at 2:50 p.m.: ‘United States ultimatum not yet poblisued. Chile reply given, but not 9 lished. It is generally understood Chile gov- ernment will give satisfaction. Only question Likely to cause trouble is thatof saluting United States flag.

No USE FOR THE ouIo. The officers and crew of sixty mon of Ohio, bemg fitted out at the Charlestown, Mass., navy yard for possible Chilean warfare, were discharged yesterday. Capt. Sargent will be placed on waiting orders. The Ohio has not yet been placed in commission, but her fitting as 4 floating machine shop will be pushed. A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT'S Acco The New York Herald's Santiago correspond- eut says there is intense excitement in that city and much anxiety is felt as to the reply of the United States to the note sent by Minister of Foreign Affairs Pereira relative to the ul matum. Nothing else has beer. discussed the clubs or on the streets for the past twenty- four hours. ‘The supporters of the Bulmacedist government are crowing over the manncr in which this matter has been conducted by the present government and are doing all they can to inflarue the people. In Valparaiso the matter is being discussed in a calmer manner, merchants and bankers there generally believing that a peaceful set- tlement of the pending difticulty will be reached. Intenso excitement prevails over tho entire country, and telegrams from Iquique and north and south provinces aro coustautly arriving asking if the question has been settled. The Peravian residents of Iquique are jubilant over the existing state of affairs and the people of that place are wrought up toa high piten. In Santiago and Valparaiso the papers print the wildest stories relative to the ultimatum, La Union being especialiy bitter, calling upon the people to stand together and uphold the honor of the country. La Union says in regard to the story current that the United Stat would require a salute of the stars and stripe: “Our noble sailors would prefer sinking to the bottom of the sea rather than to salute the Yankee flag.” It is regarded as strange that the exact terms of Chile's reply are not generally known, and itt —— that the papers aro keeping them La Union prints a letter from an Englishman advising the severance of uli diplomatic and consular relations with the U: WITHDAWAL OF THE MATTA NOTE FAVORED. Atmujority of the intelligent people, how- ever, will look upon the withdrawal of the de- mand of the Chilean government for the recall of Minister Egan and in regard to an apology with favor. it is reported that the cabinet is much dis- pleased with the course of Pedro Montt, tho Chilean minister at Washington, It is ‘said here that his last message, received Friday, as- sured his government that the affair was com- ing to a speedy conclusion. He has all along led President Montt und his advisers to believe that Mr. Blaine was desirous of submitting the whole affair to arbitration. Some here think that Pedro Montt has been misled by Richard ‘Trumbull, Julio Foster and their democratic friends. ‘The excuse made for the demand for the ro- call of Minister Egan is that it was understood that he bad cabled Secretary Blaine that the Chilean governmen? had grauted safe conducts to the refugees aud then recalled them. 1t is suid that he never made such a statement, but that he did say that the goverument had given tacit consent to their removal, and this cannot be denied. THE INVESTIGATION TO END ON FRIDAY, Judge of Crimes Foster has been ordered by the minister of justice to proceed ut once to couclade the trial of the men in the Baltimore case and to drop everything else. Judge Fos- ter promises that he will finish the cases by Friday. BSENOR MONTT'S ATLANTIC CITY TRIP. Senor Montt, the Chilean minister, has been resting.at Atlantic City from hie diplomatic | labors. His visit there was solely for recupera- tion and was kept very quiet. He even failed to register, and the atiaches of the hotel where he was staying wore enjoined to say nothing of his presence. He arrived on Friday last, but WORKING ON THE MONTEREY.

BUT WHEN THEY DID MEET THEY GOT DOWN TO BUSINESS AND DISCUSSED MANY SUBJECTS WITH EARNESTNESS—BILLS OF LADING AND OTHER ‘MATTERS OF INTEREST. Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning the na- tional board of trade convened for the second day's session. At the beginning of the session there were quite a number of vacant chairs in the meeting place, which is the banguet hail of the Shoreham. But the delegates came in one after the other and by the time the secretary, Mr. Hamilton A. Hill,had completed the reading of the minutes of yesterday's session the vacant chairs were pretty well occupied. While promptness is Supposed to be a characteristic of business men, yet these annual gatherings are holidays that come to busy men, and so they are inclined to linger over their after-brenkfast cigars before entering upon the serious work of the day. When they get down to work, however, they dispatch business with great promptness, pausing only a sufficient timo to allow a free and full discussion. Several matter of businces were attended to bofore entering upon the consideration of the Fogular topic he committee to which had been referred the Torrey bankrupt bill stated that they would be able to report tomorrow morning. ‘THE TESTING MACHINE RESOLUTION RECONSIDERED A motion to reconsider the vote by which the testing machine resolution was yesterday laid onthe table was adopted in order that the subject might be postponed until the next an- nual meeting. A delegate stated that the subject was of great importance, especially to manufacturers’ of cement. In Germany there was a government test of cement, wile in this country there was only privite’ tests. ‘The foreign article had, therefore, an advan- tage, and the object of the resolution was to secure some authoritative test. As the resolu- tron offered did not seem, in the opinton of the board, to meet the need it was thought that farther consideration might result in produc- ing a more acceptable plan. 4 UNIFORM BILL. OF LADIXG. The first matter taken up was resolutions in favor of the passage of a law by Congress of a uniform Dill of lading. , Mr. Wilson 6f Cincinnati favored the resolu- tions and Mr. Foster Higgins of New York said that it would require more than a mere resolu- tion of such a body to,bring about legislation would impose” any liability on common carriers. His experience in the past had taught him that the power wielded by the common carriers of the country in matters effecting their interests pending’ in Congress was very great. To overcome that intlucnze would require a good deal more than a simple resolution. It was stated by Mr. Wilson that a confer- ence was held last July between the national transportation companies and the interstate coninerce commission, and as a result he stated that the commission, in their annual re- port to Congress, took the position that they bad authority in this matter, and they also criticised the bill of lading ut out by tho common carriers. fe regarded this as a step in the right direction and it was the request of the transportation companies that the principle should be in- Corsed by this national board of trade. It was not expected that the object to be gained would come without a conilict, but they in- tended to endeavor to induce Congress to re- cognize their rights in the matter. NOT QUITE 60 HOPELESS. It was stated by Mr. Tucker of Philadelphia, Who said he had an intimate acquaintance with Mr. Firth, who represented the transporting companies, that he did not believe the case was as hopeless as represented by Mr. Hig- gins, He thought it would be a good idea to appoint a committee to confer with Mr. Firth on this subject, and probably it would result in a moditication of the ideas heid by that gentleman. He believed that Mr. Firth “was open to fair argument, and he thought that tho merchants of this country who had been so long in favor of a uniform Lill of lading were able to present fair argu- ments, REPRESENTATIVE STORER'S VIEWS. Representative Storer of Cincinnati aroused applause by stating that ho was a member of the subcommittee of the House commerce com- mittee, to which the bills relating to this sub- ject had been referred, and the committee had deferred action upon these measures until the rational board of trade had met end taken action. He believed that any resolution adopted by the board would receive the atten- tion of the commitiee. Mr. Storer also stated that the President had toid him that he would be glad to receive the mem f the board at 1 o'clock tomorrow. This invitation was cordially acce The subcommittee of which Me. Storer is member was invited to attend the meetings of the board and take part in tue discussions, ‘The bill of Inding resolutions were adopted. DEMURRAGE CHARGES. The next matter taken up wusa resolution approved by the board of trade of Chicago, which, while recognizing the justice of the charge imposed by the railroad companies for the use of their cars when not promptly un- louded, says that it is also due to the customers that when the goods are not promptly delivered that the railroad should be reaponsi- ble to their consignee for delay. It was pro- vided that Congress examine this question with the view of having such amendments to the interstate commerce act as will properly pro- tect the rights of the business community. In support of this resolution Mr. Dousman of Chicago said that the object was while giv- ing the railroads their rights that the duties should also be enforced, He said that the clause relative to the rights of the railroads was based on an old German law, which also coniained a clause relative to their duties. ‘This latter clause, however, unfortunately for the shipper, had not been revived. IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT. In the opinion of Mr. Stannard of St. Louis there was no subject that would come before the board of more importance than this one. He pointed out some of the difficulties in the way. He said the railroad companies had not the facilities for doing the business which crowded upon them. It was difficult for the companies to secure the necessary ground for extra tracks and depots in the various cities of the country. He spoke of the increase in the Yield of cereals and in the population, and said that the railroad, companies would hail with dclight any plan’which would enable them to secure the facilities they need to handle the increased commerce. Mr. Miller of New Orleans also spoke in the same vein and said that the raiiroads had a real diiticulty to contend with in their efforts to do the business of twelve montis in five. It was maintained by Mr. Ballard of Louis- ville that railroads had no right to euter into contracts to do avolume of business which they had not the facilities to handle. ‘his was oue cause of the trouble. REMEDY LAYS WITH THE SUIPPER. Mr. Bacon of Milwaukee maintained that the remedy for delays in transporting goods lay in the hands of the shippers. The law gave them the right to collect from the railroad payment for the losses incurred by delays. He thought that if shippers presented their claims and in- forced them that it would accomplish more than legiviation. Alr. Weisinger of Louisville spoke olution as being air to the railroads und aso jov. Stannard seemed to speak the railroads while he oud thet he fevored the resolution. He did not want the governor to misrepresent himself. ‘This remark brought Gov. Stannard to his feet, who reiterated is former statement that the railroads had been doing their best to hindle the business. ‘Tho difficulty was a lack of facilities. It was right that the railroads vhould make the shippers unload the cars promptly as they were needed in the commeree of the country. Of course if no motives in this matter, and he was glad tho railroads were pUtting u stop to the prac- Atter farther discussion the stightly moditied, wore adopted. TUE TONNAGE BILL, A resolution iu favor of the enactment by Congress of what is popularly known as the tice. Tesolutions, Congress of the shipping interests of the count DEALING IN FUTURES. Arresolution was offered by Mr. Laren of Wilwaukee which was directed to be placed on the calendar. ‘The resolution recites that andalso ‘and the Sk Ig 47: 28, 1892.. for handling the immense of the country, yet any legislation is depreciated “which lays @ tax upom or interferes in any way with the freedom of commercial transactions in such Products, whether for immediate or future de- very. The resolution further states that the adoption of what is known as the Butterworth bill would cause irreparable injury to the busi- ness and agricultural interests of the country. The credentials of Alexander Oldini and Dr. T. S. Verdi as represgptatives of the Italian chamber of commerce of New York city were read today. Other members contributed briefly to this discussion, which is rather an old one with the board, as Mr. Smith of New York said. He suggested that as the subject was pretty well understood action be taken without further debate. ‘The wrongs of American shippers, however, are realized too keenly by some members, and so the discussion went on. AVITAL PorsT. Mr. Miller of New Orleans thought that a Vital point in this discussion was the necessity, which was especially realized by those living on the seaboard, that in case of war no help to the navy could’ be derived from the gras grown ship yards of the country. To make this country strong the speaker said that the merchant marine ought to be revived. ‘The statement made that the people in the West care not under what flag their goods were carried as long as the rates were cheap was repudiated by some of tho? representatives from that section, For. as Mr. Parsons of St | tor i, SWIFT SPECIFIC 00., Atlanta, Ga, Louis remarked, he favored the revival of our shipping for the honor of the star spangled banner. Another one said that it was not a question of patriotism, but one of business. An amendment was’ ofiered by Mr. Johnson of Milwaukee so that the resolution, without mentioning the tonnage bill, would simply pro- Vide “that every legitimate means to foster our merchant marine should be adopted by Con- pat acinicise. The criticism was made in regard to this amendment that the friends of the antago- nistic measure, the free ship bill, wou! tain that the ‘resolution was in th whereas, as stated by Mr. Smith of } 9 the shipping men Were unanimous in re- gard to their support of the tonnage bill. For this reason he was opposed to adopt- ing a resolution on this subject without refer- ence to the tonnage bill. ‘The discussion was continued up to 1 o'clock, when under the order adopted yesterday the board took a recess until 2 0 clock. At that time the discussion was resumed and the contest between the free ship and the ton- nage men will be settled. ——_—_. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. ‘The Need of More of Them in Washington Plainly Set Forth, Public buildings in Washington reeeived some attention in the Senate yesterday. Sena- tor Stewart wanted an appropriation of $75,000 fora public building at Reno, Nev. Senator MePherson ¢aid that as Reno had a population of but 3,500 it did not need such an expensive building. General debate on the public buiid- ings question followed, in the course of which Senator Vest said: “Oly opinions with regard to public build- ings, if they are worth anything, have been ex- pressed so often that it is simply iteration for me to repeat them again. I believe the govern- ment of the United States should own the buildings necessary to carry on its business of every department of the government. I believe that the government is abi that it is wise policy and good business. management to erect for itself the necessary buildings for the Post Office Department, for judicial purposes and for internal revenue purposes, and taere is no excuse now for the Congress of the United States that in this city of Washington we are paying one hundred and eighty pdd thousand dollars or more rent annually when we have had, whatever is the case now, an overdowing treasury and real estate was rapidly advancing in this city and in all the other eities of the country.” Replying to Senator Vest's remarks Senator McPaereon said: ‘ “He (Senator Vest) speaks of the necessity for public buildings in the city of Washington, all of which Tedmit. He states that the gov- ernment is paying $180,000 a year rent for buildings in the city of Washington, where the government should own them. That I admit If the money appropriated in this bill and in many other biils which come Lefore the senate was for the purpose of constructing neces ary public buildings in the city of Washin, shouid have my vote. I will vote for all neces- sary amounts of money to coxsiruct. pubu buildings in the city of | Washingt and in’ every other placo where they are really needed tor the uses and purposes of the goverament, but I should Lke to bave the Senator from Missouri answer me this ques- tion: If the city of W ston is paying out today $150,000 year rental for the use of public buildings, why is it thut we take £100,009 of the money ‘that might be appropr.ated profitably to “Washington and put it in Salem, Ure., where the census report shows it has a Population of Jess than a thousand? Why should we put it in Reno, in the state of Ne- vada, where the census report shows a popula- tion of 3.500, which the Senator from that state himscif admits that the necessity for a public building theze is in the future?” ———— ALEXANDRIA, THE PHILLIVS APPEAL. The sentence of death upon Phillips, tele- graphed to Tux Srar yesterday, has produced little or no change inhim. He seems to have no hope of any result favorable to im from the application to the court of appeals, but has made no movement toward a preparation for death. The 1aw requires that whenever un ap- peal is taken the sentence shall be fixed at some day after the opening of the next term of the court of appeals and within thirty days after such opening. The appeal may be pre- sented to the court of appeals or to any of the judges of — that court in vacation. And then if the court or judge be of opinion that a review should take place a writ of error is allowed, which may operate as a supersedens of the exe- cution, if the judge or court so direct, on such terms as may be prescribed, It is ta'this tri bunal for this purpose that the case of Puiliips will now be presented. Then the case will heard in the court of appeals and a new trial granted or refused. THE ELECTORAL OFFICERS. The city electoral boa: pointments for the coming year.

Which those who inow it call the Fountain of Youth, ‘when he was a boy. The boy who discovered the spring is over 80 years old, and is still active aud in ood health, ‘The spring is now called Londonderry Lithia spring, Whose waters are drunk today by millions of peop ‘Sick and well, all over the world. ‘There are two reasons why they drink it.

When s man sees a little of this London- derry Lithia Water pourcdon a calculus, and sees the calcuius slowly dissolve, he is apt to be satisfied with the simple remedy he is asked to take. When the waters becan to be popular through the country, a little spring house was built over the flow. ‘That became too small in alittle whilc and «larger one was built. The business of bottling began in the city of Nashua, ina room 10x12 feet, ‘Iwo years ago the proprictors built what seemed to them a very lange building, and which they thouzht would be large enough for the buriness for all time.
