P1TTsBURG is very busy place,
but it is, nevertheless, a matter of
surprise to learn that the tonnage Of
vessels belonging to that city is
greater than the tonnage of any other
port in the country. 1t is true that
most of the vessels are coal barges
and coal boats, which a saltwater
sailor would "despige," but thay are
Just as useful in carrying on trade as
the finest ship afoat. The registered
tonnage of the 800 coal flats, 1900
coal barges and 1000 coal boats be-
longing to Pittsburg is 69l,ooo tons,
and their carrying capacity consider
ably greater. The total tonnage Of
the port, including passenger and
towboats, &C., is Sl7,877 tons, and it
is nearly all employed in the coal
trade.

Axorxx1 strange incident attend
ing the recollection Of Mr.. B. L.
Turner concerning the insane asylum
bill il involved in his circun stantial
oversight Of the fact that if it was
his legislative understanding that the
institution vas to be built upon the
almshouse farm, that he permitted
the Law to provide for the selection
Of other sites 1t il absurd to have ore
thing ssnclusivsly understood and
then permit his law to misinterpret
his understanding. The almshouse
scheme might BE- defeated by Mr..
Turner'S forgstulness then and his
recollection now, for putting his law
and letter together the latter will not
bear ross.sxamination. Hence, We
fear that a. . settler of great popular
commotions Mr.. Turner is precocious.

GENERAL ITEMS.

BITUMINoUs continues to record
heavy tonnages in fact the weekly
output of the Clearfeld for the week
ending the fourth, was the largest in
the history of that district. Georges
Creek is keeping up lively shipments
for the time of year (now that the
canal is closed) and the outlook for
next year is for very heavy busl-
nees from this region. The new rail
road which has been built, is equipped
with rolling stock of the best possible
character, and there will be no ques-
tion of the quantity of coal shipped
by this line, as it taps all the large
vein minsu, and in such way as to
ensure the coal in good condition as
to size. We notice that Clearfield is
now 100000 tons ahead of last sea-
son. There are many new openings
being made in this district that will
add largely to the tonnage to come
out from there during n ext season.

THE HURD BILL.
Its Author Explains Its Object to the
Board of Trade of Toledo.

Its Author Explains Its Object to the
Board of Trade of Toledo.
TOLEDO, May 1O.-A special meeting of
the produce exchange was held to-day to lis
ten to an address by Hon. f. II. Hurd upon
the international transportation bill recently
introduced by him in the House of Repre-
sentatives. The attendance was large, prom
inent business men of the city being largely
represented. Hon. G. A. King introduced a
resolution condemning the Hurd bill. Upon
motion, discussion of the resolution, other
than Mr.. Hurd's address, was indefinitely
postponed. Mr.. Hurd said his attention had
been first directed to the subject of the bill
by discussion in the Dominion parliament
upon the protection tariff recently adopted.
George Brown, of Toronto, had opposed the
tariff on the ground that it was intended to
embarrass business relations with the United
States. The tariff in most cases was leveled
against importation into Canada of
American manufactures. The treaty
of Washington seemed to have
been made in utter ignorance of the inter
ests of the American people. The sealed Car
system for which the treaty provides had
dealt serious blow to car manufacturing.
Detroit capitalists are engaged extensively in
car building in Canada. The cars manu-
factured in the Dominion are found in every
portion of the United States, gathering the
produce of the country to pay tribnte to
Canada. The Hurd bill wouldn't affect the
treaty of Washington. It would merely
affect one of the privileges granted under
the treaty. The constitution Of the United
States says that the general government
shall not give preference to ports in one
State over those of another. The sealed car
system gives such preference. One-third
of the business that goes through Port
Huron and Detroit would, but for this
system, pass through Toledo. The
roads of the United States were subject to
regulations and restrictions enforced by the
government. The Canadian roads were
free from these restrictions. Under such
circumstances it was impossible for the
American roads to compete with the Can
adian lines. The passage of the bill would
restore to Toledo third Of the business thai
now passed through Detroit and Port Huron
1t would stop the tapping of the Wabash
road before it reached Toledo: 1t would
prevent the building of the proposed bridge
between Detroit and Windsor. 1t would
make it to the interests of many railroads
now entering Toledo to remain there, and il
would give Toledo her fair share of the trade
with the peninsular of Michigan.

A MIDNIGHT Blaze.

The alarm of fire from box No. 6, at 11:35
o'clock last night, was caused by the discov-
cry of flames issuing from the two-story
frame dwelling situated at No. IL Nina ave-
nue.. The FIRE was first discovered by Mrs.
d. Grant, who observed flames issuing from
the vicinity of the kitchen. Steamers Nos.
l and responded to the alarm, together
with the hook and ladder truck and the hose
carts. Some difficulty was experienced in
attaching the apparatus to the cistern,
and by the time stream was
turned on the edifce the fire had
gained considerable headway. A few min
utes of we'll directed action, however, suf-
feed to lessen the flames and the fire was
soon gotten under control. The building
was owned by Mr.. Phillip Riley, the railroad
news agent, and was happily unoccupied.
1t was constructed at a cost of $1,000 and
was insured in the Northwestern Insurance
company for $4,000. The loss will probably
reach 81, 500. It is understood that the
house had been rented by Mr.. Kennedy,
who was to have moved in to-day. The
origin of the fire is not known, but is sup
posed to have been the work of tramps.

Return of Prof. Thorp.

many wonders in the way of exterminating
pestiferous or noxious insects and vermins in
this city within the last two years, after an alb
turned home and res umed the manufacture of
his celebrated powder preparations, at the same
place formerly occupied, No. Ill West Third
street. The professor brings with him testi-
monials of over cne hundred hotel and restaur-
ant proprietors of st. Louis, certifying as to
the effectiveness of his exterminative prepara-
tions. 1t is unnecessary in this city for the
professor to publish testimonials of the eff-
cheney of his exterminating preparations, but
for the satisfaction of those annoyed by these
pests, ref erence need only be made to the pro-
prietors of the leading hotels in this city and
State.

GERMANY.
CHEERED AND KISSED.


BERLIN, May 10.-Bismarck's speech in the
reichstag Saturday was applauded by the right
and emphatically hissed by the left. COM
mission will probably be appointed to trace
the new boundary lines which will include
Altoona within the customs frontier, but which
will leave st. Pauls or the greater part thereof,
in the enjoyment of the purport of the privi-
leges appertaining to Hamburg. Emperor Will
liam returned here day. Bismarck's speech
in the reichstag has produced disquieting and
painful impression. 1t is inferred age is telling
upon him and that his constitutional elasticity
is giving way. Nobody believes he is in earn
est when he talks of resigning.
BISMARCK SUSTAINED.
The reichstag to-day proceeded with the de-
bate on the second reading of the Elpe naviga-
tion act. After seven hours discussion the
house rejected by vote of l25 to 1913 the mo-
tion made by Herr Won Bennigsen, to refer the
bill back to committee, and also rejected by a
vote of l30 to Ito the declaratory resolution of
the committee that the Elbe frontier line could
not be removed to point lower down the
river, except by special bill. The house
finally agreed to the second reading
and resolved to take up the
bill for third reading at the evening
sitting. Ministers Bitter and Hoffman de-

boundary would not be made to serve as a
handle for indirectly destroying the statutes of
Hamburg as free port and assured the house
that the privileges of Hamburg should not be
touched without assent of the city itself, but
they at the same time emphatically stated the
government would not concede an iota of their
right to define the free port territory Won
Bennigsen thanked Bismarck for the Difference
shown for the national feeling.
REICHsTAG CLOSED.
In the reichstag, at the evening sitting,
Windthorst introduced motion in favor of
referring the Elbe navigation act bill back to
the committee, which was agreed to. After
the president had made statement reviewing
the business accomplished during the session,
the vice chancellor read message from the
emperor, closing the session.
BULLLOZED BY BISMARCK.
Baron Won Rudhart, Bavarian minister to
Prussia, whom Bismarck angrilv reproved for
opposing Prussia in the bundesrath, has ten
dered his resignation and it is said King Louis
has accepted. f
THE EMPEROR APPROVES.
LONDON, May 10.-A Berlin correspondent
hears that the emperor greatly approves Bis
marcks speech in the reichstag Saturday, and
intends to give him every encouragement in his
new policy.
