Cannot Pass.

New York, February 5. A Washington special
says it is definitely ascertained that Mr. Morrison
tariff bill cannot possibly pass, or any bill looking
to such a thorough revision OF the tariff. 1t would

That committee will vote to against the revi-
sion OF the tariff, but they may favor some few
amendments to the present tariff law.

MIR. Stevens Lecture.

VIZ stevens lAecfures
Hon. John L. Stevens gave his new lecture,
"Barneved and the Dutch Republic" to a splen-
did audience gathered at the Cniversalist church.
last evening The lecture was very able one,
and showed great power of illustrating and en-
forcing the lessons of history.
Mr.. Stevens introduced his lecture.with strong
and earnest commentator of the reading Of
biography, as far more valuable and quite as en-
tertaining even the higher works of literature.
Lie regards large proportion of the romance lit
erature OF the day, as exceedingly pernicious
alike in its Intellectual and moral influences.
While biography reveals the inner life, indicates
the scope and drift of the spiritual forces of the in
divdual character, it lends high degree Of inter-
est to those efforts OF genius will and conscience
that embodied in poetry, art, philosophy,
craftsmanship and literature. He spoke Of the
biographies Of Moses, Socrates, Plato, Paul,
Luther Milton, and Claiming, and commended
that Of the Divine Man of Palestine, given in the
New Testament, as the truest, simplest, noblest
biography Of all. The lecturer then gave con-
densed, yet lucid statement of the life of Barne-
weld, and Of the part that be acted in that remark

at the period Of her last empire and aggressive
power. The heroic iabors, the statesmanke ef-
forts of this remarkable man, running through
period Of nearly half century, were allowed 10
speak for themselves in fitting terms. His rea-
tons to Maurice, the gifted son of William the
Silent, were clearly described, and the marked
contrast in the character of these two distinguish
ed men made to appear in sharp, strong outlines.
The fidelity of the one always to duty throughout
his long and eventful career, ending on the scat
fold and the selfish ambition of the other, leading
to emolument ard kingly power, We're faithfully
told. The pictures seemed not overdrawn, though
the lights and shades 10 the cooring were strong
and decisive In this startling historic drama,
the conduct of two noble women-the wife of
Barneveld and the widow of the murdered Will
liam of Orange-were shown to have acted part

five weeks suspension of labor at the mines, or
dered by the combined companies at their recent
meeting in New York, takes effect through the
anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, throwing

that the suspe will have the effect of clearing

Count Andrassy'S Note.
The Note Recapitulates the history o
the Efforts for Pacification.

London February 5. The Times says Andras-
sy's note is evidently intended to convey the i'm
preston that all three powers have a policy, and
have not interierred for nothing. The reform
may be lsnited in scope, but will be pursued
even at the risk Of departure from the traditions
which have hitherto been observed in dealing with
Turkey.
The note cecapitulates the history of the efforts
for pactcation, particularly on the efforts Of the
powers to lessen the dangers of the insurrection
by restraining Servia and Montenegro, and on the
moderation Of the powers with reference to the
Consular commission at Mostar, when their dele
gates were instructed to disabuse the insurgents
of hopes Of outside aid, and to expect them to dis
perse after stating their grievances. The powers
then only reserved the right to urge on the Porte
those demands which appeared legitimate. The
cabinets restricted themselves to counselling the
Porte as to the use Of moral as well as military
means. The note continues
"Unhappily the hopes of the powers were dis
appointed. On the side, the reforms published
by the Porte do not seem to. have had in view the
pacihcation of the insurgents, nor do they appear
to be sufficient for that purpose. On the other
side, the Turkish armies have failed to put down
the instruction. The reforms promulgated by
the Porte had special relation to the grievances
of the insurgents"
The note then proceeds to indicate the neces-
sary reforms which have already been reported,
and concludes as follows:
1.-The Porte's previous underlined promises can
only raise, not satisfy, the ASPIRATIONS OF Turkey
They have failed to terminate the Instruction
which spring will renew. The conviction is gen.
eral among the Christians that Bulgaria and Crete
will join in the spring 1t may also be foreseen
that the Servia and Mon,enegrn governments will
be unable to resist the influence of events and
public opinion. They seem to have familiarized
themselves with the idea of joining the struggle
when the snow melts. The three cabinets there
fore think the only chance Of avoiding new CON-
plicatons is by manifestations from all the powers
establishing their firm resolution to arrest the
movement; but to address the Princes and Chris
tian foundations the powers must be able to point
to acts clearly ameoratng the condition to Her
zegovinia, for experience has taught the Christians
a deeply rooted mistrust with regard to every
promise of the Porte
