INpIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10.—Lights burned until a late hour to-night at the republican beadquarters at the New Denison, and also at General Harrison's residence, the occasion being the intercst taken in the Maine elec- tions, Gieneral Harrison and his household usually retire about 10 o'clock, but early in the evening telograms began to reach the general, giving the prospects of heavy re- publican gains, From time to time a few viends would inquive the latest news from Maine, and the cordial good humor of Gen- ernl Harrison indicated that the tenor of his Dbulletins were of an agrecable character. His frionds, however, were far more elated whan the general himself, who took matters very quiotl; rly in the evening a tole- ram was received from Joseph Manly stat- ng that the prospects were good for a ma- jority of 15,000, Two telegrams from Mr. 3laine sent carly also predicted a republican victory.

The eviciions were quite as brutal and cruel, he ays, as any descriptions have represented.

English Papers on Cleveland's Letter ~The Fisheries Dispute. [Copyright 1655 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxooy, Sept. 10.—[New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tne B ~~All the morn- ing papers yield great space to the presi- dent's letter. Two, especially, comment, The Daily W8 observe: ‘The letter of President Cleveland which we publish to-day is primarily a defense of the democratic party against the imputation of free trade. The most dumaging thing to be said against the party is that it favors throwing open the national posts to foreigners, and thus reducing the ards of American labor rnd the condition of the American laborer to what is currently believed to be below tha level of laborers in Europe. It is neadless to suy that the democratic party is oven to no such reproach or rather deserves no such complaint, if we are to judge the Amer contest from an American point of vi The democrats have undoubtedly urged a re- vision of the tariff but they have taken care 1o urge not only the interest of Ame large but that of the great American indus- tries which at present look to protection as their only hope. In a certain sense democrats claim to be the only true pro- tectionists, While they rejoice in true do- mestic prosperity which is a dircet result of unrestricted free trade between state and state within the borders of the union, they deplore the difficultics that beset the Ameri- can manufacturer in his struggle with the foreigner. They believe that nothing but a judicious reduction of the duties on raw ma- terials is wanting to enable the American workmen and his employer to command the markets of the world.” The Morning Post devotes the most atten- tion to the debate on the retaliation bill and says: “It is not without pained surprise that Englishmen will notice the treatment dealt out to this country in the ncbate in the house of representatives on the retaliation bill. Even the description of the head of the state as an ass and a shivering coward, which expressed the convictions of the republican minority, seems to have been inspired more by a sense of being out-maneuvered than by any consid- eration in the ¢ s it may affect others. After this, we cannot, perhaps, make any very strong complaint. In an assembly where language which will strike most pe ple as a gross outrage on public decency is dircctea against the president himself, it is scarcely likely that Britishers would meet with more conciliatory treatment. So far there has been no publie intimation of the course which the British cabinet have decided on, a fact which should have s to make the premature nature of these tacks on England move ap) 1t than it has done. o spenk of this country as a cold, clammy deviifish is totally inconsisten with the common civility due between states living at peace with each other. It would be idle to disguise from our- selves that there is nothing to expect in the of friendly negot fation until the don estic matter has been settled. Meanwhile we are not without hopes that the legitimate feclings of American com- merce will have made themselves heard above this unscemly hubbub before 1t is ab- solutely necessury to make fresh attempts at a solution of the fisheries question.” tipseib i) A Modcst Philanthropist.

Mean- time he is in New York where he is said to be in close consultation with the national democratic committee. It is generally be- lieved that while Mr. MeShane will not ex- pend as largely from his own funds as he 1s suid to have done in previous campaigns, that he will give to others who will provide the ways and means the benefit of his per- sonal expoericnce and lend them the advan- tage of his name. 1t it quictly understood that while the democratic national commit- tee have few hopes of carrying the state in view of its large republican majority that there are hopes expressed that the effect upon the legislature of a lively democratic canvass may be such as to warrant either a democ didate or one who wonld afiliate with the democracy.

TUE PRESIDENT A POLITICIAN. President Cleveland, it is learned, held back his letter of acceptance for two thonths. L more and issued it to-day to intluence the election in Maine. 1t 18 learned furthe that the president ordered the demoerats in the house and senate to discuss the retalia- tory and Chinese biils during the past week to the exclusion of appropriation bills and other important legislation to influence the clection to-day. How well he succeeded the returns indicate, TIE SITUATION 1N T “The lican tic Pennsylv atic man- SYLVANIAL snormous majority which the repub- always secures in tho stute of a,” said a gentleman from Mc- Kean co 'in that state, to-day, “‘makes it scem ridiculous to talk of political chunges in the state; but there is one section in which the flopping is as remarkable as it is anywhere in the country. I referto the lum- ber regions in the counties of McKean, Pot- ter and Cameron. In these three counties there are employed several thousand men eutting and peeling hemlock, and in sawing the logs into lumbver. The township in which Ilive is known as Portage Creek. This township has usually given a democratic ma- jority of about one hundred and fitty, and last week there were registered sixty-four new voters by the commissioners, and every one of the sixty-four expressed his deter- mination to vote the republican ticket. The day before yesterday sixteen more were added. 1 took some pains to ascertain the feeling among the wen in the lumber regions a day or too ago and I found that out of the 134 who voted for Mr. Cleveland in 18584, 123 are in favorof the republican ticket and the r publican platform, This remarkable change isowing to the fact that the president’s mes- sage as interpreted by the Mills bill places lumber on the free list. Lumber at present pays §2 per 1,000 feet import duty when brought from Canada, and as our lumber is almost all sold along the northern frontier prineipally in Buffulo and Rochester, the moval of the duty of #2 on each 1,000 feet would be a serious blow to the industry, es- pecially when it is considered that hemlock Tumber sells at from %6 to $10 per 1,000 feet, “Among the men most interested in the lumber interest are Moses, Charles and The former has recently P with his brother, rofthe lawy and was o harles Goodycar votes and , has always been a democrat. He has also been a member of the democratic clubs, and uno longer than four years ago an earnest supporter of Gro- ver Cleveland, While the Messrs.

There were no discriminations; crat, & negro, a Jew, or an Lrishinan could procure information as corr and as quickly as a republican politician, The ser- vices of all clerks were at the disposul of Awmerican citizens, and eve ed with uniform courtesy, Without question Sh ¢ the present administration came into power an order was issued at the postofico department to permit no one_ to > this information or that information, the uvenues which had been » open to the publie relating 13 the apjiowtments of postmasters, the bonds shauges in locations of post- appoiutments, and so forth, and were nermetically led. Then thero was an_ order—probably verbal— issued at the treasury department, which was d stor. It was only the other rrespondent went' 1o the of- ssistant treasurer of the United s and usked for oue of the last mouthly statemeats ssued under the Arthur admio tration. The assistaut treasurer s a very courteous gontleman, but he was perforce compelled 19 decline the request, saying that 10 one was permittod to give outside informa- tion exeept the secretary of the treasury. The assistaut ireasurer was then reminded that the information: requested was simply in the form of public statements which are given to the press and to the weopls withous any hesi- firm in which partner. Mr. in Buffalo ans, they will un- il and Morton and n which they stand, rather nd and Thurman and free sody to* | ing bonds tation whatever, as they were required by law and the oldest rules of the departments; and yet the assistant treasurer repeated that he was sorry to be disobliging, but he did not fecl at liberty under the rules of the depart ment, at present, to grant the request. The same is true in the office of the supervising architect. That officer will not even say that a contract has been let or that a special agent has been sent on & public mission with- out a special direction from the sccretary of the treasury. In the office of the commis- sioner of customs the same condition of affairs exist, In the interior and other de- partments one encounters a similar condition of affairs, A new order has been issued by Assistant Postmaster General Knott, who nas been uniformly obsequious to his superiors and disobliging to his inferiors and the public, whereby clerks in the departmegt are not permitted to give out any information re- garding contracts, or movements of agents, or any information, in fact, which has here- tofore been public property. It has come to pass that it is quite as diff- icult for any one in Washington who is not in official authority to proeure information of the most ordy character as 1t is to secure ofticial favor. It is even a diffcult thing for a member of congress to procure information which only four or five years ago a_coal heaver or hod carrier could get by simply asking, There are two reasons for this strange condition of business. In the first place, the administration is determined that nobody shall procure any inforination which n be turned to the political advantage of thé opposite party. In the second place, the empl whether they be democrats or re- ubl are suspected of being dishonest. The superior officers are afraid to trust their assistants. THE INMIGRATION QUESTION. It 1s generally conceded by the leading thinkers on both sides of congress thatone of the most important pieces of legistation for next winter will be that of restricting immi- gration of all classes nto the United States. “The recent investigation by the special com- mittee of the house held at New York and Boston has created a profound impression upon the minds of men in conzress, and of the people throughout the country. Hun- dreds of letters are being received here every calling attention to the necessity of ded legislation to prohibit the immigra- tion of undesirable foreigners, There is no danger that the American idea will prevail, except in a limited degree, for the present at least. But there seems to be unanimity among at least the native-born citizens upon the couclusion that every character of for- cigners not svecially desired as a part of the American republic should be excluded from our shores. There is to be uo specific diserimination for or against any nationality. This legislation is to apply to ail counties alike, and there are to be requirements imposed through the consular and diplomatic and other agents of the gov tment abrd character and d, which will require good triotic intentions upon the purt of all foreigners who embark to this country with a view to becoming citizens. Undoubtedly this question will bring about deal of discussion when congress re- »s in December. The subject is a very important one and is a very delicate one The polities in_more than one-half of the congressional districts are controlled by for- eign-born citizens, and it will be the aim of every man in speaking and voting upon this subjoct to avoid insuiting those who may have kin or friends in their mother countr It is not intended that there shall be any re- striction placed upon those of good character and good intentions who desire to come to the United States and wake this their home. The sole object is%0 keep out pau- pers, criminals and the classes who will not assimilate with native A ans, or if they do assimilate will injure society or the gen- eral good of the country. 1t will require fur- ther investigation by this special committee of the house and extreme, care to draft a bill which will mect with finalapproval; but that such a weasure will finally be adopted there is no reasonable question. The department of state is collecting in- formation on thesubject of immigration from the various countries of the world, and enough has been ascertained already to show that the United States is almost the only country, if not indeed the only country, in the world which places little or no restric- tion upon immigration. Even China, Japan, Italy and the countries which have attracted the attention of the United States on ac- count of the large perceutage of people whom it is intended shall ve excluded from citizen- ship in the United States, have laws restrict- ing the immigration of und ble persons. One of the first reports received at the de- partment of state on this subject relates to Switzerland. The federal council of Switzer- land requires all persons who wish to engage in professional transportation of emigrants orsale of passage tickets, to,procure a cense for that purpose issued by the feder: council, and the latter make regular reports to the canton, which makes the laws of the republic. Agents are required to~ prove good rey tion and their civil and political rights; ey are acquainted with the emigration operations, and are enabled to ship emigrants safely. The license fee is 50 francs ($10.) Emigrant agencies are re- quired to make a deposit of 40,000 francs (#3,000), and sub-agents a further deposit of 3,000 franes each, and agencies for the sale of emigrant tickets a security of 20,000 franes, as bonds for the duties required by the existing laws Jaws prolibiting cmigration desirable citizens 1o leave the country and the admission of undesirable persons who in- tend to become citizens are very stringent. The system of inspection is rigorous. The result is that Switzerland retains her best people and excludes from her domain persons from all parts of the world who are regarded as unlit L becowe part of the republic. CHATEMAN BELMONT. airman Beimont, of the forcign mimittee, has made a sveech on the retaliation bill, the part which ne took in the measure was so insignificant as to have xcited some comment, Mr. Belmont has been absent from Washington during nearly the entire summer.

Positive views upon public af- fairs, expressed with honest courage, have always captivated Americans. In the fore- cast of the few American statesmen worthy of the name Canada has appeared as a future danger to the peace of the United States, while politicians have scoffed the idea that the population in the icebound region couid ever disturb the quiet of the great republic. So long ago as when Webster was secretary of state, considerable bluster was made about the fishery business, and in 1846, while Polk was president and Buchanan secretary of fg el Onmaha: Fiest churely T.

During the public discussion about this boundary the debates in congress and the columns of the leading journals defiantly proclaimed and declared that we would go to war if that boundary was not conceded. ‘Fifty-four forty or fight’ rang throughout the country. This cry camie from out of the hearts of the people, who had been instructed by the most intelligent statesmen of the north that the cluims were well founded. But th south was in the The slavery question was already agitated, and the dominant south did not wish to extend our free territory. The president was a slave-holder, and the secrctary of state a northiern man with southern principles, so the popular cry was hushed. The sccretary of state and the British minister concluded a treaty at Washington on Juna 15, 1816, by which we surrendered to Great Britain every portion of the Pacific ocean between latitude 40 degrees north and the Russian possessions, ke our humiliation more abjeet, we rthern line of 40 degrees down the channel and out through its of Fuca in order to igland the whole of Vau- island, which alone has an area larger thau the combined states of Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Counecticut and Del- aware. The summer climate is charming,and winter is not cold, $42 Fahrenheit being the maximum and 222 Fahrenheit the minimum for the year. By this treaty we threw away an empire and imperilled the trade of the Orient, and much of our own transconti- nental trade also, as we are now beginning to find out. The time required for ships to sail from China and Japan to Victoria is sey- eral ys less than is required to sail from those countries to San Francisco. The peace of America will be yearly endangered until Canada is divided into states and made @ part of the great union. the Canadian and American statesmen who shall combine and accomplish such a result will aciieve imper- ishable renown.
