DoISGs AT THE CITY HALL.-A CONF
mittee of suger dealers and brokers called
upon the Administrators in reference to the
charge made for removing sugar from the
landings to the sheds, and stated that they
were frequently compelled to move their
sugar without time being given them either
to sample or sell the same. The Admins
traitor of Commerce issued orders to bis
subordinate officers, that they should in
future post upon the blackboard at the
sugar sheds, when aui what sugar would

the matter was not Immediately attended
to, and called the attention of the Admins

requested relief an6 instructions in the mat

discussion ensued upon the financial condi-

Ex-Speaker Blaine, in letter written
some weeks ago, but just published, recon-
mends the adoption Of the old Jefferson
Madison amendmNt, offered in 1879, as
follows:
No State shall make any law respecting
an establishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; and no money
raised BY taxation in any State for the 50 D.
port Of public schools, or derived from any
public fund therefor, shall ever be under
the control of any religious sect, 4 Or shall
any money so raised ever be divided be-
tween religious sects or denominations.
Mr.. Blaine adds:
This, you will observe, does no. interfere
with any State having Just such school
system as it's citizens may prefer-subject
to the single and simple restriction that the
schools shall not be made the arena for
sectarian controversy or theological disputa.
ton. This adjustment. it seems 20 me,
would be comprehensive and conclusive,
and would he fair alike to Catholic and
Protestant, Jew and Gentle, leaving the
religious faith and the conscience Of every
man free and unmolested.

A Spanish Defeat in Cuba.

Further information has been received
concerning the defeat of the Spanish troops
in Cuba, the first news of which was tele
graphed in CIPHER this morning. The Span
lisa general Sabas Marin, suffered indeed a
disastrous" defeat in his first battle with
the Cuban commander, Maxine Gomez.
He then attempted to form junction with
another Spanish corps, but was overtaken
during the maneuver, and overwhelmingly
routed General Sabas Marin was himself
MORALLY wounded. This crushing defeat,
together with the loss of this able Spanish
general, augur poorly for the winter cam
paign, of which these were the first pitched
battles.-Ner Yorh Commercial Aarertiser.
