Senator Wallace intends introducing q
creation of a commission to take upthe work
of tariff legislation SO suddenly terminated
by the failure Of the measure reported by the
Committee of Ways and Means. The COM
mittee is to consist of one member Of the
Senate, to be appointed by the President of
the Senate; one member Of the House Of
Representatives, to be appointed by the
Speaker thereof, and three citizens Of the
United States not now holding any office
under the Government, one Of whom shall
I've a practical farmer, one a practical manu-
facturer and one an experienced merchant
to be appointed by the President of the
United States. It's duty will be to inquire
into the operation of the existing tariff and
internal revenue law, and ascertain what
changes if any, should be made in them for
the promotion of industry and the benefit OF
the public revenue. 1t will have power to
sit in open session at the seat of Government
and elsewhere, to employ clerks, to subpoena
witnesses and examine them under OATH
and will be required to hear the complaints
and suggestions of citizens Of the United
States engaged in agriculture, manufacture
or commerce. The commission is to report
if possible, to the next session Of Congress:
such legislation as it may deem necessary in
the light of the sworn testimony and other
information obtained. Fifteen thousand
dollars are to be appropriated to defray tht
expenses of this inquiry. This resolution o
Senator Wallace tits to be hoped willreceiv'
the sanction of Congress.

Gen. Buffers proposition to establish
citizens soldiery on the frontier is not a new
one, and if adopted would leave the Indian
wars of the future to be carried on much
after the manner in which they were fought
on the Atlantic coast two centuries ago. 1t
is said that for the cost of maintaining a
standing army at forts on the frontier, the
Government could establish farmers there
who should owe service to the Government,
and be drilled to mass and help themselves
in case of necessity without calling upon the
Federal Government for the assistance OF
troops maintained as such. The proposition
is that the Government should give actual
settlers, owing military service, farms, farm
utensils and means of subsistence for limit
ed time, and provide them with arms and
ammunition. The settlers, while engaged
in agriculture, should be under military or.
ganization, and be liable at all times to ser,
vice in case of Indian wars, but in time o
peace would theoretically at least) be farmer
or producers and not simply consumers.

NoNTREAL-A NIGHT OF TERROR
IN CANADIAN CITY.
QUEBEC, July 12.-The city to-day is
practically in the hands of the mob, as it
has been more or less throughout the entire
week. The rioters have gone on increasing
in strength by the forced addition of the
workmen from other parts of the city. The
mayor has done nothing. He has, in fact,
by his utter incapacity, encouraged the
rioters. A few men were arrested on the
information of the contractors and were
fined and imprisoned in default; and then
came the first great mistake. Strikers went
to Mr.. Jolly, the Premier, who addressed
them, urging that they should return to
| for them an addition of shilling day to
their wages. He pleaded with them very
earnestly, and, as an inducement, told them
that he would, out Of his own pocket, pay
the fines of the men who were in prison.
Jolly Immediately carried out this promise,
on promise of the strikers that they would
resume work.
The prison doors being opened by the
kindheartedness of the Premier, the men
walked out and placed themselves at the
head of the mob and paraded the streets,
carrying the red flag. They halted in front
of the parliament buildings, and, after three
cheers for the ministry, called Justify for the
Premier.
The Premier then addressed them. HC
urged them strongly TO return TO theil
homes, and said efforts would be made t
improve their position, but he was met witt
cries of That is not enough mol no ,

There is steady demand for Govern
ment loans all over the country, but more
specially at the West. This is the more
striking from the fact that these bonds pay
little if any more than 4 per cent per annum

half the rate of usance in that section.
