The Tribune on Grant.

New YORK, December 1.-The Tri-
bune editerially says: We learn from
the best attainable authority that Gen
eral Grant is emphatically in favor of
so amending the National Constitution
as to limit the President to one term,
and to make universal suffrage, or suf-
frage to male citizens of all races and
color, above the age of2l years, the su-
preme law of the land. Next, with re-
gard te universal suffrage, we suspect
that the constitutional amendment,
article II of which provides that the
several States may regulate suffrage
each for itself, but in proportion as the
suffrage is restricted representation
shall be restricted, is not considered
settlement by Grant, but rule apt to
result in endless troubles from the con-
hicting plans likely to be adopted
among the States. Hence, no doubt,
General Grant has concluded to recon-
mend an amendment making universal
manhood suffrage the supreme law of
the land in all the States and Terrific.
ries as the only decisive solution of this
otherwise embarrassing question.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-Secretary
Schofeld will leave here tomorrow
evening to be present at the expert
mental firing at Fort Delaware on
Thursday next.
The public debt statement for Novem-
Der will, from present indications, show
an increase of probably $4,000, 900,
though it is not uncertain that the
returns which have not yet been re-
ceived at the Department will materi-
ally lessen this estimate. The disburse-
ments for the past month, excepting
the large amount paid on account of
the Alaska purchase, were apparently
small. The amount of coin in the
Treasury now in hand, including GER
tificates, is about S90,000,000. During
November there were issued to the Gen.
trial Pacific Railroad of California, bonds
to the amount of 81 ,2S0, 900, and to the
Union Pacific railroad. bonds to the
amount of S640, 900.
The majority of the annual reports of
the Government officials here, with the
various accompanying documents, are
still at the Office of the public printer.
Some of them have not been entirely
completed and portions only have been
sent to the printer, while many of the
Government officers have received proof
copies of their reports and are now en-
gagged in correcting them. 1t is proba-
Bile that by Saturday nearly all of the
reports, including that of the Secretary
of the Treasury and Presidents mes
sage, will be completed and in the
hands of their authors. 1t is expected
that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
will, in addition to his preliminary re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior,
which has been already published, make
another in relation to the officers of the
Bureau and its operations among the
Indian tribes during the past year,
which will be sent directly to Congress.

Allegheny Live stock Market.

November ~, 1905.
CATTLE-The supply of cattle on
sale to-day was lighter than usual as
the sales only foot up 96l head, against
1l43 head last week, and 1919 head the
previous week. The greater portion on
sale was generally OF a poor quality and
not suitable for our best butchers, and
unfit for shipment East. The market,
however, was pretty active, and all OF
the best cattle were readily picked up
by butchers at better prices than ship
pers were willing to give. Very few
were taken for shipment. There were
rather more stock cattle offering than
usual for some time past. One firm had
over 100 head, which were sold at 3 so
as so, as to quality and condition.
Prime butchers stock sold at from 2oa
Z so, and extra at lisa 90 per hundred,
but the number sold at the last quota
ton was very small. We quote a medi-
um class of butchers stock at 25a6 so
per hundred.
SHEEP-The number of sheep offer
ing this week was light, and the sales
only foot mp 1901 head, against 4l37
head last, and 1893 head the previous
week. The market ruled more active
and frmer under the light supply.
Choice fat mutton sheep brought an ad-
vance. The principal offerings, howev-
er, were of the lower grades, and this
quality sold at about the same figures
as reported one week ago. We quote
prime fat sheep at from 3 75a4 % per
head, and the medium and lower grades
u L
one lot of choice fat sheep which sold
at from 00a4 80 per hundred.

tail demand, and we can report regular

The Alabama Claims.

NEW YORK, December IA Wash
ington special to the Philadelphia Press
says: The latest development regard
ing the negotiations of Minister John
son relative 10 the Alabama claims war
rants the statement that Mr.. Seward, in
behalf of our Government, has insisted
on amendments virtually as follows:
First-A distinct understanding must
be had that the agreement on the part
of Great Britain TO submit the claims
against the TWO countries to tine arbitra-
ment of Claims Commission is accept
ed by this Government as an &C.
acknowledgements that the recognition of
the Southern rebelliOus Government as
a belligerent power was violation of
the neutrality laws established by Eng
land herself. This may not be insisted
on as an article in the treaty when it is
finally perfected, but it will, most as
suredly, form a distinct and permanent
feature in the preliminary correspond
enCe.
Second-That all claims against citi-
zens of tdis government which have
been decided in our favor by the courts
of England, shall be excluded from the
consideration of the commission. 1t is
quite probable that claims against the
United States which have only been
adjudicated by American courts will
not be included in this exclusion. Such
an agreement as this can he effected
without. violation 10 either American
or English precedent. 1t is believed
these two points were suggested as :he
result of the first cabinet meeting which
has occurred since the Johnson Stanley
protocol has been received; that these
will be followed by other and more sig
nificant points to be agreed on at anoth-
er cabinet meeting. In fact it is feared
that the final agreement between
the two governments will be
DELAYED until after the new Parliament
convenes, then, as matter of course, it
will be further delayed until the organ
izatiou of the new ministry, which may
not possibly occur until Mr.. Stewards
tenure of Office is about expiring, so the
whole question will be beQueathed to
General Grants administration. New
men will take il up on both sides, and
it may be one, two or three years before
it is finally settled. In this connection
it must be RENE mbered that the United
States cannot reckon upon the entire
good will of John Bright and ais follow
ers, as it was stated in dispatch of Mr..
Adams to Mr. Seward in 1867, that Mr..
Bright disapproved OF the position
taken by the latter toward England,
and nothing Indicates that he has
changed his mind since.

AUGUSTA, Ga, December 1.-The Mayor
and City Council have ordered the post
ponement of the municipal election
until the assembling of the Legislature
in January, taking ground that the ne
sroes are entitled to vote by the legisla-
tive law granting the city charter and
that an election is null and void unless
the present Legislature strikes out tue
word white in the city charter. The
Democrats claim that the State Consti-
tuition and the reconstruction law gives
the negroes a right to vote, munich
pality laws to the contrary notwlth-
standing, and propose holding the regu-
lar election, allowing the negroes to
vote and leave the Legislature to decide
as to its legality.
