The Senate Refuses to Call u Caucus.
Albany, N. Y, May 25.-The follow
ing letter was sent to Speaker Sharp
this morning:
STATE OF New YORK,
SENATE CHAMBER,
ALBANY, May 25.
Hon. Geo. H. Sharp. Chairman Assem-
bly, Caucus Committee:
DEAR SlR-The Senate Caucus Com.
mittee have given the question of call
ing the caucus the earnest deliheration
which the gravity of the situation de-
mands. The United States Senators
from this State have resigned and
thrust upon the Republican members
of this Legislature the alternative of
supporting or antagonizing the Nation
al Administration. This issue involves
the integrity of the party. The reSig.
nation of our Senators has left the SEN
ate of the United States in control of
the Democratic majority. The Repub-
lican party of the State can not su b.
NIT its relations to the party in the
nation to the decision of majority of
the Legislative caucus. No member
ought to be excused by caucus action
from individual responsibility, but in
joint convention of the Legislature
and IN the solemn exercise of his du-
ties as a legislator each man should
cast his vote according to his con.
science and the wishes of his cOnstitu.
ents. We do not therefore deem 1t
wise to unite in a call for joint eau
Gus
We remain, dear sir, yours truly.
D. MCCARTHY.
GEORGE H. FORSTER.
While | do not fully concur in the
above, deem it unwise and inexpedi-
ent at the present time to Join or rec
commend call for caucus.

sarn wage. 4. Italy.

When the wages and the various al
lowances are reduced to q money value
the average annual income of a fixed
laborer amounts to about 1855 francs, or
one franc per day. This estimate is
based on the results of q prosper Gus
year; but in bad years ESTIMATED at
one in three) the franc is reduced to
eighty confines. A further deduction
must be made to allow for the deprecia-
tion Of the paper money in which the
wages are paid, and in 1880 this depre-
citation amounted to ten per centum.
The wife of the laborer earns by work
ing on the farm eighty francs a year,
and on the 445 francs the laborer must
support himself and his family as his
only other source Of income is In selling
a part of his allowance in grain, which
is rarely actually ~practiced, there being
too small a surplus. The wages Of such
laborer arebut fifty centimss a day
and is paid only for actual working
days, which number, when the Sundays
and various holidays are takeno out, but
260. His wages income is then but 100
francs per year. The same rate of
wages was customary before the present
condition Of management was introduce
ed, but the condition Of the laborer Is
much worse. He then received his food
free, consisting of a stated quantity of
soup and fourteen ounceso Of bread daily
from September to April; and from
April to September a second meal of
maize, bread and salad wa added. This
custom has been discontinued, and no
compensation has been made to the
laborer, who is now compelled to pay
from his scanty income for his food and
for his house, both of which were form
erly given to him for nothing. From
what remains Of his earnings he must
clothe himself and family, and, If pos
sible. lay aside a little for his daughters
dowry, or at least to give himself a de-
cent burial.

Vandarhiltiana

Some n has made q very curious
calculation of what MI. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William H.
vanderbilts income from his invest
ments in $5l, 900, 900 4 per cent Gov
eminent bonds is represented at %, 1000
daily. which is $20S.2 5 per hour, $3.47
per minute, or over 8 cents per second.
Assuming that he is paid by the second
he cannot possibly spend his money, as
he could not select his purchases and
lay down the pieces fast enough He
could not throw it way; to pick up,
cast. recover, pick up and cast again
would take him two seconds, and
If he worked all through the twenty
f, four hours without rest, he could only
dispose of one-half his income. BY
living economically saving up for four
years he could, placing his five-cent
piccss side by side, make a nickel belt
around ss&he earth, OF by converting his
savings into 1-cent pieces and mounting
them in a pile he would, in twenty
years, erect q road to the moon and
have $500 to invest when he got there.
Should his amusement take q charitable
twist, he could out of a years receipts
Conate to every man, woman and child
in the United States 20 cents and have
money left over. Other vast possibili-
ties occur to the glowing fancy Of the
calculator. In one day he could 60 to
5000 different ~circuses, eat 10, 600 pints
of peanuts, drink 5000 glasses of lem
onade, and have money left to get his
boots BACKED. He can afford to have
500, 600 shirts washed in one day, and
on the day of his death his income will
buy ten first-class funerals.

Marwood, The Hangman.

After the execution Of the Rotterdam
murderer recently o reporter OF the
Sheffield Daily Telegraph interviewed
Marwood, the executioner. The report
states:
+. .It was a grand executionl Wood
never moved wen a finger" were the
first words uttered when he entered the
room where q number Of persons were
assembled; II gave him the long drop,
nine feet four inches, and he died as
peacefully as . lamb"
What is your reason for having such
10 long dropf" some one asked.
Lifting up his hands and raising his
eyes, he exclaimed. in dramatic tones,
at is humane, and saves suffering; the
man dies instantly"
He had not seen Wood before he met
him in the cell q few minutes before the
execution, but when be did sec him he
was very unfavorably impressed with
his face. He thought him o cold
hearted, callous man, and was conf
dent of his guilt. In reply to a ques-
ton respecting the rope, he called for
his bag. His visitors held their breath
while he slowly unfastened the leathern
straps which were round it, applied the
key to the lock, opened the bag, and
brought out its contents, which proved
to be two ropes and . few pinioning-
straps. One rope, a thick one, meas
uring about three inches in circumfer-
ence, was the rope which he had used
around the neck the preceding morning
of the Aylesbury murderer. and with
which he had also executed Wood. The
other was . smaller rope. perhaps an
inch in circumference. Il was . curious
sight to behold Marwood contemplating
the ropes. He gazed upon them smil-
ingly, fondly handling them as tenderly
as q mother would handle . baby, .
connoisseur . piece Of rare china, a
young lady o bonnet of the latest fash
Ion.
This rope" said he, holding up the
thickest, sis the rope; it Is mado Of the
finest Italian hemp; 1t is the rope Of the
good old times" Here he grew rather
eloquent and earnest, and with cmpha-
sis added, ssThis rope is made specially
for me, and Il supplied by the govern
ment. Look how beautiful and smooth
It Is; fesl 1t, 1t ID . real beauty"
The visitors felt II, but failed % see
! much beauty. .-

Oregon salmon Fisheries ana the can,
ming Trade.

The Oregon commercial reporter of
August 8 says: 1.-THE run Of salmon in
Frazer river is now larger than at any
time during the season. In fact, the
canneries are unable TO use all caught.
The fishery at Point Roberts took 10,-
600 in n day, and on Even & Co.'s
wharf at Westminster, $4,000 fish were
at one time piled, all caught In twenty.
four hours. 1t is estimated that 80.
900 are daily caught. These are small
salmons, known as the sockeye, weigh.
ing about six pounds each. There is q
great scarcity Of labor, which precludes
a full canning. The season for the
Columbia river is over. but the pack Ia
not known, being estimated at 90, 900
to rs. 900 cases less than for last seaon.
Several u have sold all their can
ming. and as the larger portion goes to
foreign markets, it is thought the east
ern will be only fairly supplied. The
6rst contracts on the Columbia river
this season were made at 81. 10 to S1.16
The highest figure paid for Oregon sal
mon on the river this season was S1.S0.
and actually sold at that figure, COM
mission added, in England. The busi-
ness Is now well established, and is
steadily increasing. England a alone
take 400, 900 cases at a reasonable figure.
The consumption in the Atlantic states
suffers some from the high freight by
rail and the difficulty Of small shippers
and importers getting their goods over
the roads on the same terms as the few
favored large dealers. When the mat
ter Of freight is settled to the satisfac-
tion of shippers, it is claimed that In
stead of 200, 900 cases-salmon, the At.
lantic states will take 100000 cases."
