UTICA AND ULYSSES.

The two states with the largest re-
presentation in the national conven-
ton to be held in Chicago next June,
have held their republican conven.
tions and chosen their delegates.
These delegates have been instructed
to vote as a unit for Grant as the
nominee of the party for the presi-
deucy. The general will thus go into
the convention WITH 128 votes that are
nov known 60 from New York
and IS from Pennsylvania. 1t will
require $40 to nominate. Grant will
therefore have ID get 248 more votes.
Can he do ii? is the question that is ag-
itating the politicians more than any
other to-day. We think be cannot, be-
cause there IS but one more state of
lmPOrtance-Illinois, with ~ votes
tha! naniiests anything like a strong
disposition to make him its first
choice. Notwithstanding the Grant
Instructions ct Utica, the general is
weaker in the country than be was
before the New York convention; and
although Pennsylvania instructed for
him, he hasn't the popular strength
that he had before thu Harris burg
meeting. It was not GRAFT who car
rico the conventions of these great
states; but the machine. Pennsy!-
Vania was held and manipulated by
Don Cameron, and New York by Sen
atoE Conkling, the real sentiment oil
the conventions being opposed to |
the third term proposition. !
This fact must have been
painfully manifest TO the managers
who, nevertheless, orammed Grant
and third term down the th10sts oil

tools. The instructions simply show

Cameron over the republican poIi.

was apparent in the Harrisburg con-
vention that Blaine was the choice oil

was not SO powerful at Utica, yet with

National Board of Trade.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The national
board of trade has adopted a report en-
dorsing the work of the national board of
health The report of the commission of
experts, appointed soon after the last an
nual meeting, on the subject of adulter-
alton Of food and drugs, together with a
draft Of the national beard to prevent
such adulteretion, was presented and
adopted. The secretary of the board was
directed to transmit to Congress a copy
of the report and draft of the bill and
to request, in behalf of the national
board, an enactment of the proposed law
The draft of the bill referred to prohib-
its any person or corporation from selling
or offering for sale any articles of food or
drugs adulterated within the meaning of
the proposed act, and defines carefully
what shall be deemed to be adulteratiOn
To carry into effect the provisions Of the

Damages from Railroad Fires.

An important decision has just been
rendered by Judge Dyer of the United
States circuit court, at Milwaukee, Wis,
in which damages to the amount of $780,
600 are involved. The suit was brought
in the name of the Dexterville manufac-
turing & Boom company, the Scranton
Manufacturing company, and George
Hiles, against Thimothy Case, who was
made receiver of the Green Bay s Mimi
esota railroad company, and the claim is
for damages resulting from fires kindled
by the passing locomotives The COM
plant alleges that at different ti1aes, in
different years, timber on the lands Of the
plaintiffs was set on fire from sparks
from the unprotected smokestacks of the
defendants company, and the claims are
for this damage to timber and the destruc-
ton of cranberry marsh Judge Dyer
has given lengthy decision upon the
case, holding the company responsible
for damages before the appointment of
Case as receiver, and limiting that special
suits can now be instituted against Case
for injuries sustained by parties since the
property came into his hands. The de-
cision is in line with we'll established pre-
cedents, holding railroad companies re-
sponsible for fires kindled by the unpro-
tected smokestacks of their engines.

remarks the question of the rate of interest on
