The reason given for /„ this action ie stated to be that "local efforts to compel the honest sale of butter sub­ stitutes have proved inadequate on account I of the interstate character of the trade and inadequate means in many parts of the : country to prevent its fraudulent sale." • The Board believes it to be to the interest alike of produceis, consumers, and honest Ijjllt the bill should become a law.

' 11 * 1 :, , IMDUSTBLTT MRIFE&U ,1 TRIS "Central Labor Union of NEWLFEFT City, said to be the most powerful execu< tive body in the ranks of organized labor, has gone to pieces The delegates to the national convention of telegraghers, in session at St. Louis, resolved to join the Knights of Labor. BEFORE the adjournment of the Interna­ tional Typographical Union, at Pittsburgh, the special committee on the question of the Union joining the Knights of Labor presented a long report, which was adopted. The report, after complimenting the Knights of Labor in the highest terms, and pledging them support, demands, first, that the Knights of Labor will not attempt to dictate the course of action of distinctive trades; second, that they will not cover with the shield of the order any man who has been found unworthy to mingle with the members of the Union as a fellow-craftsman in good standing. The report of the special committee on the use of stereotype plate matter was ap­ proved. The report recommends that the executive council endeavor to unionize all firms manufacturing plates, and that all non-union firms be published; that the local unions be required to interdict the use of plates where a reduction of the working force will ensue; newspapers must be pro­ hibited from using news plates manufac­ tured in non-union offices, or else be de­ clared unfair; no subordinate union can take any action regarding the nse of plates without the consent of the executive council. A PROMIXENJ Knight of Labor at New York is at St. Louis distributing funds to the unemployed Gould line strikers. He has already disbursed $10,000, and his work in that line is not more than half ac­ complished. A local assembly of servant girls, under the banner of the Knights, is being formed at St. Louis. IN accordance with their recent determi­ nation, the St. Louis master builders at­ tempted. last week, to compel their em­ ployes to return to thf ten-hour system. In a few cases they were successful. In the majority of cases, however, the builders re­ fused to return to the old plan, and many contractors find themselves unable to fulfill their contracts. AT Grand Rapids, Mich., the striking employes of the Phoenix Furniture Com­ pany resolved to resume work on the ten- hour basis. Most of the other factories have returned to the ten-hour system. GENERAL. THE Republicans of Vermont have nom­ inated Lieutenant Governor Ormsbee for the gubernatorial chair. The platform de­ clares firm allegiance to the principles of the Republican party; asserts that the Democratic party during its present control of the Government has shown itself incom­ petent to grapple with the living issues of the day, and has already demonstrated to unprejudiced observers that the change of party control was a change for the worse and not for the better; that the Morrison tariff bill, with the riders at­ tached by the Democratic committee to an important appropriation bill, show that the Democratic party iB still opposed to the protection of American industries, opposed to practical economy and retrenchment of national expenses, opposed to civil-cervice reform, unfit to be trusted with the govern­ ment of the nation; that "whatever may be the case elsewhere, the course of the na­ tional administration in reference to the disposal of Federal offices in this State, in committing appointments to party bosses, in supplanting faithful officers not justify chargeable with offen­ sive partisanship by active and offensive partisans, and removing honest, exper­ ienced, and respected officers to make place for saloon keepers, pot-house politicians, and Democratic strikers, has been a most absolute burlesque of civil-service reform, and deserves the condemnation of all who desire clean, efficient, and trustworthy pub­ lic service."....The Tennessee Republi- ??n, ktate Convention assembled at Nashville and nominated the Hon. A. A. Taylor of East Tennessee for Gov­ ernor.

THE Supreme Lodge, A. O. U. W., met last week at Minneapolis, the Supreme Master Workman, John A. Brooks, of Kansas City, reporting the order to be in a healthy condition. During the past year there were 1,284 deaths, the losses paid ag­ gregating $2,566,458 There was a small attendance at the Michigan semi-centen­ nial celebration, held at Lansinc on the 15th inst. Gov. Alger, Judges Cooley and Campbell, and others addressed the meet­ ing. NOT over a dozen houses of the five hundred in Vancouver, the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railroad which was swept by fire, are left standing, and nearly all of the three thousand inhabit­ ants are homeless. Twelve persons are known to have perished in the flames. One short hour did the whole work. The little city was literally swept by a hurricane of flame. "All day," says a dispatch from Victoria, "there was > steady wind from the northeast, and brush- clearing fires on the Canadian Pacific Railway lota were fanned to such an extent as to fill the town of Vancouver with smoke. Nobody had, however, any idea of danger. Shortly after 1 p. m. persons began to consider the situation as a threatening one, but the smoke was so dense that they found it impossible to direct their steps to the exact locality of its source. Soon a stable near the Colonial Hotel was seen on fire. An alarm was given, but so skeptical were the people that they paid little attention for some time. Thfc wind by this time had increased to a gale and fanned the flames to a mass of raging fire. One of the first buildings to go was Ma­ cartney's drug store, followed by the office of the Vancouver News. The flames shot across Abbott street with astonishing rapidity, and almost before the people could realize it the whole western portion of the city was In a blaze. The eicitement was now intense. Water street was filled with dense smoke and flying cinders, and people were harrying with what effects they could gather in their haste to a place of safety, the general direction of flight being to the east though many ran to the elevated ground owned by the Canada Pacific Railway Company Others again made for False Creek. Those -who en­ deavored to save goods were so wrapped up in their object as to appear heedless of the danger they ran, and it was found especially necessary to compel many women to relinquish their effects to save their lives. All hope of saving any considerable amount of property was now abandoned, and each contented himself with hastily putting together what he could carry in masses of the British people are enthtpd* astically loyal to him. E^en ia the metrop­ olis* whan Mr. GlA&tone's popularity has Mfwiicii sogtMtas it has been in the ti4viiifeis, the efowd was enonnous, and there not (me in the vast throng who did not come there to express approval of his political programme, in the few brief words which he addressed to the assembled thousands he put the issue before the electors plainly ana direct­ ly. He warned them that an effort would be made to befog it by subterfuges and disguises, and to divert their attention from the majn point. "The question," he 6aid, "is solely whether Ireland shall be trusted to manage her own affairs." This was the keynote of his speeches during the jour­ ney Waddington, the French Ambassa­ dor to England, threatens to resign if the Senate passes the bill expelling the French princes Nieuwenhuis, the Dutch Socialist leader, has been sentenced at The Hague to solitary confinement for one year for insulting the King in outrageous publications A Cairo dispatch says: Appalling mortality is reported among the British troops stationed at Assouan.

Telegrams to Bradstreet'ft report, with an unusual degree of unanimity, only a moderate activity in general commercial and industrial lines. The approach of the customary midsum­ mer dullness is reported to characterize gen­ eral trade at most interior points. The do­ mestic money markets, with few exceptions, are unchanged, funds offering being in ex­ cess of the demand. Special wheat-crop reports continue favorable, the exceptions being in Kansas and Michigan. The plant has been delayed in No.thern Minnesota, but the outlook is for a fair crop. The wheat market continues dull and depressed. The first signs of firmness in hog products are observed. Abundant rains in the cotton regions cause trouble from grass in the At­ lantic and Eastern Gnlf States, and to a smaller extent in the Mississippi Valley. GRACE B RE WEB, a colored girl of Vin- cennes, Ind., was the only person gradu­ ating from the High School, eight white pupils refusing to appear with her. She read a creditable essay on the diffi­ culties of educating colored youth, and was given a diploma. The Woman's Suffrage Association of Kokomo sent her silk badge and its congratulations Dr. S. A. Richmond, known as the proprie­ tor of the patent medicine "Samaritan Nervine," drove to the office of the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, and entering it shot Colonel J. W. Strong, the editor, in the neck. Strong, who was sitting with his back to. the door, jumped up and stag­ gered to the back office, whereupon Rich­ mond fired two more shots, one of which entered Strong's body. In five minutes Strong was dead. After shooting Strong Dr. Bichmond went from the office to the street, and, walking twenty feet from the office door, fired a shot at his own head and fell to the sidewalk. It is not thought that Richmond's wound is fatal. The lat­ ter is undoubtedly insane. WASHINGTON telegram: Speaker Car­ lisle does not appear at all cast down by the fate of the tariff bill. He is credited with saying: "Since a majority of the House were inimical to the bill, it is better the motion to consider it should have been defeated rather than to have got it before the House and chopped its head off by striking out the enacting clanse. Under present circumstances it will remain on the calendar, where it can be taken up any time the House chooses. I don't look for any action upon it this session,'but lam sincere in my belief that we will not only get it before the House next session, but that we will pass it." MB. GLADSTONE opened the campaign for home rule in Ireland with a powerful speech before a great audience. His re­ marks were received with approving cheers, and the passages in which he ridiculed the atlernative plans of Hartington and Chamberlain were especially applauded. The Premier spoke for an hour and a half. At the close of the address the audience indulged in prolonged and frantic plaudits. After the cheering had subsided a vote of confidence in Mr. Gladstone and his policy was carried unanimously amid great enthusiasm. GENERAL LOGAN'S bill to increase the effi­ ciency of the army passed the Senate on the 18th inst. The Senate passed, by a two-thirds vote, the resolution offered by Senator Ingalls, pro­ viding for the submission to the several States of a constitutional amendment extending the period of the President's term and the session of the Fiftieth Congress until the 30th of April, 1889, and substitut­ ing the 30th of April for the 4th of March as the commencement in future of the Presi­ dential and Congressional terms. Tne Frye bill for the encouragement of the American mer­ chant marine and to promote postal and com­ mercial relations with foreign countries was passed. Mr. Vance's bill to repaal the civil- service law was indefinitely postponed In the House Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, presented a resolution providing for the final adjournment of Congress July 8. The Stanton debate was resumed by Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, who savage­ ly criticised the speech of Mr. Wheeler, of Ala­ bama. his handB without seriously impeding his speed and hurried from the spot, but even after leav­ ing the houses the danger wag not over, for every road had become an avenue of fire, falling tim­ bers and stumps on «aeh side of the road glow­ ing with fire, proving as serious a menace to fugitives as the burning houses of the doomed city." THE elections in Nova Scotia have re suited as was anticipated. The fight was made squarely and fairly on the issue of withdrawing from the Canadian Dominion. Parliament was dissolved for the purpose. The Premier of Nova Scotia appealed to the electors on a policy favoring secession. The result is that of the thirty-eight mem­ bers elected twenty .-nine are "seceders," and only nine are in favor of keeping up the Dominion connection. A majority of the seeeders favor annexation to the United States, and boldly proclaim their views on this point. FOREIGHT A IEHBBAN (Persia) correspondent writes that the Shah has signed a firman granting ex-Minister Winston the right to build a railroad from Teheran to some point ou the Persian Gulf, with the privi­ leges of all the mines not worked at pres­ ent. The Persian Foreign Minister, how ever, still holds the document, refusing to place it in Mr. Winston's bands until he shall have paid a large bribe, the first in­ stallment of which was to be $30,000. DURING the election in Santiago, the capital of Chili, a riot occurred in wbioh forty persons were killed and many wounded. The result of thp elections is sugposed to be in favor of the Liberals. MB.

A sensational shooting affray occurred in a crowded section of Kansas City tho other afternoon, in which Dr. Morrison Munford, proprietor of the Kansas City Times, and two other persons were shot by W. A. Car­ lisle, an attorney. Dr. Munford entered a street-car and was about to take a seat near the door when Carlisle came to the plat­ form of the ear, drew a revolver, and spoke to Monford, saying: "You have traduced my wife, and I will kill yen." At the same tune Carlisle began firing at Mun­ ford, who was but three feet diStspt. A ball struck Munford in the side, gUmcing from a rib and lodged under the skin just below the breast bone. Carlisle quickly fired again, the ball cutting his intended victim's coat and striking Miss Jennie Streeter, a girl sixteen years of age, who occupied the next seat in the car. Dr. Munford then stooped forward, trying meanwhile to draw a revolver. Carlisle stepped into the street on the south side and began firing through the window, one ball striking a passenger named John Hale in the face. After firing live shots in rapid succession, Carlisle started to run around the forward car, attached to the other one, and was seized by two officers as Munford stepped down to the pavement on the north side with his revolver drawn and leveled. The latter, who thought he had been fatally wounded, had tried to shoot, but had not been able to free his weapon, the trigger of which was anught in a scabbard which incased it. Munford called to the officers to let Carlisle go aud give him a chance, but bystanders quickly interfered and persuaded the Doctor to give up his weapon. He was taken to Dr. Jackson's office in the Times building ad­ joining, where the bullet in his breast was extracted and his wound dressed, after which he was removed to his home. Carlisle meanwhile was conducted down Main street, followed by an angry crowd. His action, in shooting indiscriminately into the throng aroused the greatest tndignation, and threats of violence were made on all sides. At Seventh street the prisoner was put into a carriage and hurried to the po­ lice station. Several stones were .thrown after it. Miss Streeter walked to the pavement and sat down. A carriage was called, and she was taken home, where her wound was dressed. The bullet was found to have 1>assed through the fleshy portion of the eft breast, and, though painful, is not dan­ gerous. The bullet that struck Hale in the face lodged in his head, and has not yet been found. His life will not be in danger unless erysipelas sets in, which is feared somewhat. Dr. Munford, who remained cool and collected throughout the general excitement over the affair, is resting well, and will soon recover. The trouble originated in the publication by the Times of charges against Carlisle's professional and moral character. Dr. Munford is a native of Kentucky,and is widely known through his position as proprietor of the Times. Mr. Carlisle is a Virginian by< birth. He is a relative of John Carlisle, now dead, who was once United States Senator from West Virginia. ' . - ^ - fa T . " THE KINO 18 DFIKR Lndwif EL, Bavaria's Crazjr Monarch, .

He had gone out for a promenade in the park of the Berg Castle, accompanied by Dr. Gudden, his physician, says a cable dispatch from Munich. The king suddenly threw himself into the Starnberg Lake and was drowned. The physician jumped into the water to rescue the King and was also drowned. The medical commission which examined the late King report that he had ordered the members of the ministerial deputation headed by Count Holstein, who called upon him to procure his consent to a regency, to be flogged until they bled and then have their eyes extracted. Before his death the belief was spreading among the common people of Bavaria that the King's deposition was illegal. The people did not believe he was insane. Precautions hod been taken to prevent the populace from rising to re­ store the King. - - The full story of Ludwig's reqSnt eccen­ tricities would be generally regarded as incredible. He had a mania for avoiding the daylight and forjurniog day into night. He often summoned great imisieians to the palace at late hours by post-horses to grat­ ify the royal wish to hear a single air. He frequently had statesmen aroused in the small hours and sent to him to assist him to play a billiard game. He would drive at night in a chariot or on horseback with fly­ ing speed, accompanied by mounted toroh- bearers, far up into the mountains, in imi­ tation of Burger's "Leonore" and of Goethe's "Erl Keonig." Once, while engaged in one of these Wild night mountain chases,̂ he, fell, with his horse, down a deep chasm. He was badly hurt, and his injury aggravated his mental ailment, but his physicians were obliged to approach him disguised as lackeys or as soldiers. ^ Dr. Mueller snd Hubert, the King's steward, bad the bodies of Ludwig and Dr. Gudden conveyed to the Berg Castle and placed on beds. Although there Was peither any perceptible respiration nor pulse'move- ment in either body, Dr. Mueller snd his assistants of the ambulance eOrps attempt­ ed to restore animation in both, and only ceased their efforts at resuscitation at mid­ night, when life was pronounced extinct in both cases. Ludwig IL, who was bom Aug. 26, 184tk was the son of King Maximilian II., and succeeded to the throne at the death of his father, March 10, 1864. The misanthropic monarch is said to have had in ear ly life an attachment that turned out unfortunate­ ly, and that left him menially a changed man. For years the European journals have contained articles and items and inci­ dents of almost every sort regarding the strange ways of King Ludwig, his peculiar habits, tastes, large expenditures upon his palace,while he himself lived very unosten­ tatiously and even economically. His devo­ tion to art has been well known,and his early intimacy with Richard Wagner was such that the people at length compelled the King to send the eminent composer away from the court. One matter,, however, was creditable to the King's political sagacity; be sided with Prussia in the contest with France of 1870- 71, and favored the unification of Germany. Many stories are told of Ludwig in proof of his extreme eccentricity. He was at the Paris Exhibition in 1867. While in the French capital he fell over head and ears in love with the Empress Eugenie. When she parted with him at the station as he was about to return home she kissed him. He has never allowed the lips of another woman to touph him since that sacred occasion. One tried and received a ducking for her re­ ward. She was an actress and had created the role of Iseult. The King invited her to take a turn in his boat and made her repeat her great aria. Becoming too enthusiastic, she was about to fling heTself into the royal arms. Their owner merely threw her into the stream, and left her to get out as best dMConld.

Ore^t Befarms to Be Accomplished lw of the Govern^ ment's Measures. MEN OF NOTE. Hon. A. G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania^ Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is the only surviving member of the trio of famous war Governors, of whom Win. Dennison, of Ohio, and Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, were the other two. He is now sixty-nine years old, having been boru in his present home, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, in 1817. It is a Satisfac­ tory comment on any man's abilities and strength of character to know that he can live a long life in the village where he was born and be honored to the laBt with the best offices within the gift of his fellow citizens. Governor Curtin has grave faults, and always has had, but the factilpt he stood og the Union in its lb. Gladstone has issued the following manifesto to the electors of Midlothian: „ ORARLKMN-In consequence of the defeat of bill for the better government of Ireland the Ministry advised, and her Majesty was pleased to sanction, the dissolution of Parliament for a decision by the nation of the gravest and like- wisattie sunniest Issue that has been submitted to it for half a century, It ia only a sense of the gravity of this issue which induces me, at a period of life when Nature cries aloud tor re­ pose, to seek, after sitting in thirteen Parlia­ ments, a seat in the fourteenth, and with this view to solicit, for the fifth time, the honor of your confidence. At the last election 1 endeavored in my ad­ dresses and speeches to impress upon you the fact that a great crisis had arrived in the afiairs Oof Ireland. Weak as the late Government was for ordinary purposes, it had great advantages for dealing with that crisis. A comprehensive measure proceeding from that Government would have received warm and extensive sup­ port from within the Liberal party, and would probably have closed the Irish controversy within the present session and have left the Parliament of 1885 free to prosecute the now stagnant work of ordinary legislation, with the multitude of questions it includes. My earnest hope was to support the late Cabinet in such a course of policy. On the 26th of last January the opposite polioy of coercion was declared to have been tm choico of the Government, the Earl of Carnarvon alone refusing to share in it. The Irish question was thus placed in the foreground, to the exclusion of every other. The hour, as all felt, was come. The only point remaining to determine was the manner in which it was to be dealt with. In my judgment, the proposal of coercion was not justified by the facts, and was doomed to certain and disgraceful failure. Home method of governing Ireland other than coercion ought, as I thought, to be sought for and to be found. Therefore I viewed without regret the fall of the late Cabinet, and. when summoned by her \iMajesty to form a new one, I undertook it on the basis of an anti-coercion policy, with the fullest explanation to those whose aid I sought as col­ leagues when I proposed to examine whether it might not be possible to grant Ireland a domes­ tic legislature and maintain the honor and con­ solidate the unity of the empire. A govern­ ment was formed, and the work was at once put <n hand : You will not, gentlemen, fail to understand ihow and why it is that the affairs of Ireland, and not for the first time, have thrust aside every iother subject, and adjourned our hopes of use­ ful and progressive legislation. As a question Jof the first necessities of social order it forces 'itself into the van. The late Cabinet, though right in giving it that place, were, as we thought, jwronc in their manner of treating it. It was our absolute duty on taking the Government, if we did not adopt their method, to propose an­ other. Thus, gentlemen, it is that this great and simple issue has come upon you and de- jmands your decision. Will you govern Ireland 'by coercion or will you let Ireland manage jher own affairs? To debate in this address this and that detail of the lately defeated bill would only be to disguise this issue, and fwould be as futile as to discuss the halting, stumbling, ever-shifting, and ever-advancing •projects of an intermediate class which have proceeded from the seceding Liberals. There riture two clear, positive, and intelligible plans 1 before the world: There is the plan of the Government and nhere is the plan or Lord Salis­ bury. Our plan is that Ireland should, under well-considered conditions, transact her own affairs. His plan is to ask Parliament to renew repressive laws and enforce them resolntelv for twenty years, by the end of which time he as­ sures us Ireland will be fit to accept any govern­ ment in the way of local government, on the repeal of the coercion laws, you may wish to give her. I leave thiB Tory project to speak for itself in 4ts unadorned simplicity, and I turn to the pro­ posed policy of tne Government. Our oppo­ nents, gentlemen, whether Tories or seeeders, .have assumed the name of unionists. I deny .'them the title to it. In intention, indeed, we j.ftre all unionists alike, but the union they re­ fuse to modify is in its present shape a paper lunion obtained by force and fraud and never sanctioned or accepted by the Irish nation. They are not unionists, but paper unionists. True union is to be tested by the sentiments of the human beings united. Tried by this crite­ rion we have less union between Great Britain and Ireland now than we had under the settle­ ment of 1783. Enfranchised Ireland, gentlemen, asks through her lawful representatives for the revival of her domestic legislature--not, on the face of it, an innovating, but a restorative proposal. She urges with truth that the centralization of parliaments has been the division of the peoples, but she recog­ nised the fact that the union, lawlessly as itwas obtained, cannot and ought not to be repealed. She is content to receive her legislature in a form divested of prerogatives which might have impaired her imperial interests ana better adapted than the settlement of 1792 to secure to hc-r regular control of her own affairs. She has not repelled but has welcomed the stipulations for the protection of the minority. To such pro­ visions we have given and shall give careful heed, but I trust Scotland will condemn the attempts so singularly made to import into the controversy a venomous element of religious biLotry. Let her take warning by the deplor­ able riots in Belfast and other places in the north. Among the benefits, gentlemen, I anticipate from your acceptance Of our policy are these: The consolidation of the united empire and great addition to its strength ; the stoppage of the heavy, constant, and demoralizing waste of the public treasure ; the abatement and gradual ex­ tinction of ignoble feuds in Ireland and that development of her resources which experience shows to be a natural consequence of free and orderly government; the redemption of the honor of Great Britain from the stigma fastened upon her almost from time immemorial in re­ spect to Ireland by the judgment of the whole civilized world ; and, lastly, the restoration of . Parliament to its dignity and efficiency and the regular progress of the business of the Oountry. Well, gentlemen, the first question I how put to you is, How shall Ireland be governed! There is another question behind it and involved in it. How are Engiai.d and Scotland to be governed? You know how, for the last six years especially, the affairs of England and Scotland have been impeded and your imperial Parlia­ ment discredited nnd disabled. All this hap­ pened while the Nationalists were but a small minority of the Irish meinllers without sup­ port from so much as a handful of members not Irish. Now they approach ninety, and are entitled to say: "We are speaking the views of the Irish nation." It is impossible to deal with this subject by half measnres. They are strong in their numbers, strong in British sup­ port, which brought 313 members to vote for rtheir oountry; strongest of ail in the sense of •"beingTight. But, gentlemen, we have done our part; the rest remains for you. Electors of the country, may you be enabled to Bee through and cast away all delusions, refuse evil, and choose good. I have the honor to be, gentle­ men, your faithful and gratef al servant, WII.LIAM E. Gladstone. FAIR DATES. The ...Toledo Sept. 8 Southern Ohio .Dayton Sept.

Mr. Warner of Ohio introduoed a resolution calling on the Secretary of the In- terior for information showing the number, ex­ tent, and location of foreign holdings of what were formerly public lands, and how the title to such lands had been acauired by aliens. The bill forfeiting the unearned lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company was passed by the Senate on the 15th.

Nothing in the act is to be construed to waive any right of o** United States to forfeit any other lands granted to them, for failure, past or future, to comply with the conditions of the grant. In the of Representatives Mr. Hiscoek stated the aggregate of the appropriation bills is $229,740.- 313, which will be swelled to t391,0a8,tf3. The receipts are estimated at 8377,000,030, and the next ftsoal year, he said, is certain to show a deficit of $14,000,000 on the most conservative estimate. Mr. Randall explained that the in­ crease this year for pensions is $15,750,000, and the river and harbor bill adds $15,850,000. THE Senate passed the military academy appropriation bill on the 16th inst., and the ap­ propriation committee has now no bills before it for consideration. The Senate rejected the President's nomination of John G. 8holes, of Michigan, for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona, and of Abraham Rose for Postmaster of Vinton, Iowa. The House of Representatives passed the leg­ islative appropriation bill and the Senate meas­ ure giving the franking privilege to the widow of General Grant. An adverse report has been made on Representative Grosvenor's resolution providing for the restoration of the tariff Of 1667 on wool, and also upon the Wilkins reso­ lution declaring against any redaction of the duty on the same article. A IABGE number of bills were passed by tile Senate on June 17, among them being measures to construct roads to the national cemeteries at Knoxville and Natchez, to grant the Seal rocks to the city of 8an Francisco, for the transfer of the Baton Rouge barracks to the University of Louisiana, to purchase land for the Indian training school near Salem, Oregon, for a conference at Washington of dele­ gates from the American republics, and for the appointment of an additional Secretary of the Treasury for one year. A vote taken in the House on the question ol taking up the Morrison tariff bill resulted in its defeM. Mr. Morrison gave notice that he would renew the motion on Tuesday, June 22. Mr. Morrison voted in a low tone and Mr. Randall in a load, de­ fiant way. Neither of the gentlemen was ap­ plauded. As soon as the result was known tne revenue reformers sitting near Mr. Morrison turned toward him inquiringly. He remarked: "We'll try it again next Tuesday," and the House rang with the applause of his followers. The formal announcement was greeted with vociferous cheers from the Republican side. An analysis of the vote shows that of the 140 affirmative votes 136 were Demo­ crats and 4 Republicans. Three ot the Repub­ licans are from Minnesota and one from New York. One hundred and twenty-two affirmative votes were cast by Democrats from the South and West, and 14 by Democrats from the Eastern and Middle States. Of the 1S7 negative votes 122 wero cast by Re­ publicans and 35 by Democrats. A bill was introduced in the House providing for the inspection of meats for exportation and prohibiting the importation of adulterated srtt> - cles of food and drink. The Ylrtnes of Cocaine. Although the plant has only recent^ become known, its virtues have long been recognized by the natives in that part of the world in which it grovptf' It is stated that in 1583 the Indians consumed 100,000 "oestos" of coca, worth $2.50 each in Cuzco, and $4 ia Potosi. In 1591 an excise of 5 per cent. , was imposed on coca, and in 1746 and 1750 this duty yielded $800 and $1,500 respectively from Caravaya alone. Be­ tween 1786 and 1795, the coca traffie was calculated at $1,207,436 in the Peruvian viceroyalty, and including that of Buenos Ayres, $2,641,478. The coca trade ia a government monopoly in Bolivia, the state reserving the right of purchasing from the growers, and reselling to the consumers. This right is generally farmed out to the highest bidder. The proximate annual produce of coca in Peru is about fifteen million pounds, the average yield being about eight hundred pounds per acre. More than ten million pounds are produced annually in Bolivia; so that the annual yield of coca throughout South Amer-/, ipa, including Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Pasto, may be estimated at thirty million pounds. It is scarcely pleas­ ant news to learn that the natives who cultivate the coca plant themselves absorb so much of the products of thoir own production. We have here, doubt­ less, the cultivation of the costliness of cocaine and the scarcity of the drug. This can hardly be otherwise, it is to be feared, for some time to come when we remember that the reliance upon the extraordinary virtues of the coo* leaf among the Peruvian Indians is so Strong that in the Huanuco province they believe that if a dying man COB taste a leaf placed on his tongue it is •> sure sign of his future happiness.
